Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 741 - 735: Sacred Soul Stone

The Human Emperor’s Scepter’s full power was finally unleashed completely.

And this appearance, too, was the original form of the Human Emperor’s Scepter.

"Ye Xuan, the next time we encounter Huo Yuan, I will definitely help you end him in seconds."

Having fully recovered, the Human Emperor’s Scepter was obviously extremely excited and shouted.

"Come on, defeating Huo Yuan in seconds is no big deal. If you really have the ability, help me defeat the number one on the Holy List in seconds—then you’ll be truly awesome."

Ye Xuan saw that the boasting nature of the Human Emperor’s Scepter hadn’t changed and couldn’t help but take a shot at it.

"Holy List number one? Sure, I hope that guy is lucky enough not to meet us, otherwise he’s in for some serious trouble."

The Human Emperor’s Scepter bellowed.

"Ye Xuan, your Artifact Spirit is really interesting."

At this time, Ling Qianxue had also stopped her meditative recovery, she walked over, and this Artifact Spirit of the Human Emperor’s Scepter was the only one she had ever seen that could talk, and it was so human-like.

"Just good at boasting, useless."

Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head.

"Hey, what do you mean useless? Without me, could you have killed Huo Yuan? Kid, such a great accomplishment, and you just ignore it?" the Human Emperor’s Scepter clamored.

"Fine, you’re awesome. I hope you can keep it up; is that good enough?"

Ye Xuan was too lazy to argue with this fellow, and before the latter could speak again, he put away the Human Emperor’s Scepter. Now that the Human Emperor’s Scepter had regained its peak strength, it indeed significantly enhanced his own power. At this moment, even if he faced the top ten on the Holy List, he possessed enough confidence.

"Have you recovered well?"

After storing the Human Emperor’s Scepter, Ye Xuan’s gaze finally turned to Ling Qianxue and he asked.

"Yeah, almost there. It looks like we should leave the Artifact Pavilion now."

Ling Qianxue’s injuries were not serious initially, and after taking the pill Ye Xuan gave her, along with a bit more rest, she had almost fully recovered.

"Then let’s go. It seems unlikely we’ll find any more gains here; better to get out sooner."

Ye Xuan nodded, the scope of the Artifact Pavilion was vast, truly exploring it would be a particularly difficult task, plus there was no nature’s spiritual energy here, only treasure energy. Staying here too long would be very draining, only able to replenish True Yuan through pills and Spiritual Medicine.

The two of them explored this vast hall a bit more, then left the place.

...

After leaving the Artifact Pavilion, Ye Xuan and Ling Qianxue were transported to a clearing halfway up a mountain, where there already were quite a few figures.

Among them, there were many familiar faces.

People from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land, Sikong Wuji, Ling Hanye, Yin Meng, and Jun Luoyu from Snow God Mountain, all were in this place, in addition to other geniuses on the Holy List and young talents not yet on the Holy List, which were too numerous to count.

Most of those who appeared here were characters from the Holy List, and there were very few who hadn’t made it onto the Holy List yet could still access this place.

"Junior Brother Ye."

Ling Hanye and Yin Meng greeted Ye Xuan as he approached.

"Brother Ling, Senior Sister Yin Meng."

Ye Xuan found his colleagues and greeted them with clasped hands.

"How did it go in the Artifact Pavilion?"

Ling Hanye had already learned from Yin Meng about Ye Xuan killing Huo Yuan. However, this matter naturally couldn’t be made known to others, so it went unmentioned, yet Ling Hanye’s gaze carried an extra hint of solemnity—Ye Xuan’s strength was not to be underestimated.

Being able to kill Huo Yuan proved that even Ling Hanye might struggle to take Ye Xuan lightly. The latter’s strength was enough to sit on the same level as them.

It was hard to imagine that someone who hadn’t been on the Holy List before was now advancing by leaps and bounds, quickly catching up.

"I acquired a Holy-grade armor, so it’s a modest gain."

The contours of the Golden Radiant Armor appeared on Ye Xuan, and although it cost him five thousand points, this trip was worth it. Firstly, for obtaining the Holy-grade armor, and secondly, for resolving the trouble that was Huo Yuan.

Now, after having killed Huo Yuan, Ye Xuan’s points had risen to more than ten thousand, enough to enter the Martial God Tower.

"Your luck is as good as Brother Sikong’s; he also acquired a Holy Artifact. We poor souls only got a few Fake Holy Artifacts—truly a loss."

Yin Meng spread her hands in resignation.

"Come on, Holy Artifacts aren’t so easy to come by. But compared to the Martial God Tower, the Artifact Pavilion is just an appetizer. As long as we can keep our luck for the venture through the Martial God Tower, we can earn back the principal with interest," Ling Hanye said, his eyes flickering with intensity.

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Ye Xuan’s face, and he asked inquisitively, "What good is the Martial God Tower then, so much more precious than Holy Artifacts?"

Having acquired a Holy Artifact armor, Ye Xuan felt it was already quite valuable, but listening to Ling Hanye, it seemed the value of the Holy Artifacts paled in comparison to the rewards of the Martial God Tower.

"Of course."

Ling Hanye nodded, his gaze sharpening, "The first floor of the Martial God Tower holds inheritances left by Saints from the ancient and Middle Ages—their Martial Arts Skills, Cultivation Techniques, even some cultivation insights. All those items are invaluable treasures. Of course, the inheritances are there, but one cannot simply accept them without approval—it’s not easy."

"But those who can enter the Martial God Tower are the cream of the crop, and most of them can receive inheritances and benefit."

"That indeed sounds quite appealing."

Ye Xuan nodded, but though these things seemed alluring, they held less appeal for him. The Martial Arts Skills and Cultivation insights of those Saints would not intrigue him much, as even if those Saints were powerful, they were merely at the level of Martial Saints—what could their cultivation provide to Ye Xuan, the Martial God?

"From the second layer onward, it becomes a series of challenges. The more levels you pass, the more bountiful the rewards later. It is said that those who reach the top of the Martial God Tower can receive ten Sacred Soul Stones," Ling Hanye’s eyes lit up with eagerness.

"Sacred Soul Stones?"

Ye Xuan paused briefly then furrowed his brows—what were Sacred Soul Stones? He had never heard of them before.

"Sacred Soul Stones are exclusive to the Martial God Tower. They provide us with extremely pure power, and most importantly, Sacred Soul Stones can cause the Sacred Body to transform, greatly increasing our chances of progression."

Mentioning the Sacred Soul Stones, a gleam appeared in Ling Hanye’s eyes, "One Sacred Soul Stone is incredibly valuable, let alone ten. However, those who have managed to reach the pinnacle of the Martial God Tower are few in the entire history. I reckon that even Brother Sikong or Yuan Taiyi, currently the first on the Holy List from Emperor Heaven, don’t have that capability."
