Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 496 Endless Abyss!

He only killed one City Lord Wan, but gained nine [Storage Rings].

Moreover, each of these rings is of high quality and has huge storage space.

This unexpected gain made Ding Chen very happy.

He laid out the [Storage Rings] he had obtained this time.

Among these rings, except for Wan Rong's nine...

There is also one from Wan Tao, the master of Wan Ya Palace;

[Wan Ya Palace] One of the Grand Elder Wan Shanyao;

And the one belonging to Feng Qinggu, the grand elder of the inner sect of [Longyan Sect] and the master of the ninth peak.

There may be a vast amount of spoils in the ring, even those "old monsters" who have reached the realm of true enlightenment would probably show greedy expressions when seeing them!

Suddenly, there was a "puff" sound.

This is the sound of Ding Chen cutting his fingertips and letting the blood drip to ferry the soul across.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz..."

As the twelve storage rings were stained with blood and marked with Ding Chen's soul, the blue light shone brightly in the night, creating a mysterious and tranquil beauty.

Then, Ding Chen sent out a wisp of spiritual perception, entered the ring space, and counted the harvest.

Mr. Wan Tao is worthy of being the leader of a sect, especially the Wanya Palace where he is, which is known to be the one with the greatest hope of being promoted to a "top-grade sect".

In his storage ring, there are no less than ten kinds of lower-grade heavenly elixirs and talismans.

Medium and high-quality spiritual stones were also piled up like mountains.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wan Tao's wealth alone is enough to surpass the total wealth of Xu Dongxian, Lei Fubingfu, and many Earth Crystal Realm cultivators killed by Ding Chen on his way to [Tianci City]!

In comparison, Wan Shanyao, the supreme elder of Wanya Palace, seemed a little "poor".

At least in terms of heavenly grade elixirs, talismans, and spirit stones, Wan Shanyao is far inferior to Wan Tao.

However, Ding Chen found something that interested him more from the storage ring of the Wanya Palace's Grand Elder.

Some extremely rare crystal cores of great demons from the Tianmen Realm;

Heaven-level middle and upper-grade medicinal materials and spiritual treasures;

And some curious objects that seem to have no practical value at first glance.

For ordinary Tianmen Realm cultivators, these things might be far inferior to the ready-made low-grade heavenly pills, low-grade heavenly talismans, and other items in Wan Tao's [Storage Ring].

However, for Ding Chen, who is proficient in the five profound arts of elixir, talisman, formation, food, and weapon, these miscellaneous materials collected in Wan Shanyao's [Storage Ring] are undoubtedly more valuable!

Because as long as the materials are sufficient and time permits...

With Ding Chen's superb skills of "perfectly making pills" and "perfectly making talismans", he can refine pills and talismans of better quality and higher grades in minutes.

"Perhaps it's because Wan Shanyao is old and feels that if he continues to rely on the step-by-step cultivation method of 'absorbing spirit stones', he will never make any progress in his lifetime."

"Plus, he had been in seclusion in the sect for a long time and didn't fight with anyone, so he didn't leave too many heavenly-grade elixirs and talismans for himself."

"So, this fellow exchanged all the elixir talismans, spiritual stones, etc. for mid- and high-grade medicinal materials and spiritual treasures of the heavenly rank."

"He was hoping that one day, he would destroy his five senses, ears, nose, mouth, eyes, and tongue, to achieve the state of selflessness and transcendence, break through the Heavenly Gate in one fell swoop, and reach the realm of true enlightenment. Then, he would find someone to refine these valuable Heavenly Grade materials into Dan Fu to strengthen himself?"

I have to say, Ding Chen’s guess this time was exactly right!

Otherwise, as the Grand Elder Wan Shanyao, the spiritual stones, elixirs and other items in his storage ring would not be that much less than those of Wan Tao, the Supreme Master.

After counting the spoils obtained from Wanya Palace, Ding Chen turned his attention to Feng Qinggou's ring.

Unlike Wan Tao and Wan Shanyao who were already dead, Feng Qinggou was not completely dead.

Although the old guy's body was destroyed, his soul was sealed by Ding Chen and stuffed into the [Beast Bag].

As long as the cultivator's soul is not destroyed, the imprint of his soul that he injected into the [storage ring] will still exist.

You know, the soul imprint that a cultivator injects into the [Storage Ring] is like a door with maximum anti-theft capabilities.

The spiritual will of the ring's owner is the key to opening this door.

If a cultivator who doesn't have the "key" attempts to "break in" through external force...

The moment the [Storage Ring] shatters, all the items stored in the ring space will be sucked into the turbulence of time and space, and will never be found again!

In other words——

This [storage ring] still retains the imprint of Feng Qinggou's soul, and can only be opened by the will of Elder Feng himself.

However, this is not a big deal for Ding Chen.

He just stretched out his thumb and gently rubbed the surface of the ring.

"Buzz!"

With a flash of inspiration.

After the remnant soul was sealed by Ding Chen, Feng Qinggou, who casually threw it into the beast bag, couldn't help but shudder.

"Why did the spiritual connection between me and the storage ring suddenly disappear?"

"It was Ding Chen. This little bastard must have crushed my storage ring!"

"Haha, if you can't get it, you'll destroy it? That really is... eh? Wait, that's not right!"

Feng Qinggou's heart suddenly tightened: "Now, my soul has been sealed by that guy."

"Even if he is afraid of the revenge of the Dragon Flame Sect in the short term, he will not dare to let my soul fly away."

"But in this situation, my soul will perish in three months at most!"

"He only needs to keep the [Storage Ring] and wait for two or three months. When my soul is gone, the 'Soul Mark' on the [Storage Ring] will naturally no longer exist!"

"At that time, he will naturally be able to obtain all the wealth in the ring."

"He can't be so impatient that he has to destroy the [Storage Ring], right?"

"But... I have indeed lost contact with that [Storage Ring]!"

"Wait, could it be that guy who forcibly erased the soul imprint on the ring?!"

When Feng Qinggu thought of this possibility, he immediately became uneasy: "If a cultivator wants to forcibly erase the original soul imprint of the [Storage Ring], there is only one way."

"That is: the person who erased the brand used a cultivation level that was one level higher than the original 'Soul Realm' of the person who had branded it, and forcibly erased it!"

"I have reached the seventh level of the Heavenly Gate Realm, and my spiritual realm is also comparable to that."

"That means Ding Chen's spiritual realm has reached the seventh level of the 'realm of enlightenment'?!"

When he thought of this, Feng Qinggu was extremely shocked.

Even though his physical body had been destroyed earlier.

But he still held out a glimmer of hope for the only soul he had left.

A glimmer of miracle has occurred, giving him hope of a comeback!

One of the keys to the comeback lies in that [Storage Ring].

Who would have thought that now, even if his soul was still there, it still couldn't stop Ding Chen from getting whatever he wanted?

"No, it's impossible. It's absolutely impossible!!"

The next second, the old guy roared and screamed like a madman!

Even though Feng Qinggou saw the facts clearly, he was unwilling to admit it!

He completely fell into the abyss of endless anger and unwillingness...
