Chapter 741: Three Treasures
A murderous tide surged in Su Han’s heart. He was truly enraged.
He was not afraid of enemies targeting him, and he did not care if they set up a death trap, for he had long been mentally prepared to battle his entire life. However, what he could not tolerate was an enemy going after the people around him. Whether it was his family or his friends, they were his reverse scale—a line that could not be crossed. This was true for Fairy Sister Yun Xian, for Tongyan, and for Li Qingyue as well. No matter who was behind King Yama’s Palace, he would drag them out and make an example of them.
WHOOSH!
After leaving Tianxing Hall, Su Han did not head straight for the Chaotic Burial Ground. Since the enemy had set a trap for him, he naturally could not charge in recklessly. For this battle, he had to make some preparations. Only by preserving his own life could he rescue Li Qingyue; otherwise, it would be a double kill for the enemy.
Su Han went directly to the Imperial Study. Though the Flying Immortal Great Emperor was not there, his confidant, Eunuch Sun, was. Eunuch Sun was responsible for collecting memorials to be sent into the Myriad Longevity Hall. He was not only the confidant of the Flying Immortal Great Emperor but also a powerhouse in the Saint Realm. Eunuch Sun had white hair and was advanced in years, but his Qi-Blood was abundant and his vitality robust. Even though he concealed his Holy Might, he still gave off an irresistible aura.
"Eunuch Sun, I need to enter the treasury!" Su Han announced, standing before Eunuch Sun and producing the Emperor’s Command.
The coming danger was extraordinary, so he had to be fully prepared. The Emperor’s Command he had just acquired was the best tool for the job. The Heavenly Sword Dynasty had a history spanning ten thousand years. Generations of rulers in the Great Emperor Realm had presided over it, building an unimaginable heritage. Even though most of it was stored in the Myriad Virtual Realm, the treasury within the palace was not to be underestimated. Previously, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor had said that with this command, Su Han could enter the treasury and select three treasures—a privilege he had no intention of wasting.
"His Majesty has already instructed me. Your Highness, please follow this old servant," Eunuch Sun said with a bow. He wore a humble smile, showing none of the dignity of a Saint, but Su Han dared not underestimate him for it.
Soon, Eunuch Sun led Su Han deep into the palace. This time, however, they did not go to the Myriad Longevity Hall but to the separate Treasure Pavilion. With Eunuch Sun leading the way, their passage was unimpeded. He took out a special key and opened the Treasure Pavilion’s protective Holy Formation.
"Your Highness, please enter."
Eunuch Sun gestured for Su Han to go first. Without hesitation, Su Han stepped inside. The Treasure Pavilion did not look large from the outside, but the inside was another universe entirely. It was a secret realm crafted by a Saint. The realm was vast, with spheres of light drifting up and down, each containing a treasure. Su Han looked up and saw tens of thousands of light spheres, like stars in the night sky—a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
"Your Highness, there are a total of 83,913 treasures here, covering all imaginable types. Your Highness can search on your own, or this old servant can assist you," Eunuch Sun began his introduction. Su Han, however, had already activated his Nine Heavens Eye and could see the glorious treasures within the spheres of light.
The treasures here were numerous and varied, including Cultivation Techniques, Martial Techniques, Elixirs, Talismans, Holy Artifacts, and more. However, Su Han also noticed there were no Emperor-Level treasures or Immortality Medicines. Clearly, items of that caliber were all kept within the Myriad Virtual Realm.
"I need two Saint Treasures, one for offense and one for defense," Su Han said directly. There were too many treasures, and even with his powerful Divine Sense, it would take a long time to inspect them all. Time was what he lacked most, so he asked Eunuch Sun for help.
Eunuch Sun nodded, then reached out his hand. Instantly, five spheres of light flew from the distance and hovered before Su Han. With a motion, he suppressed their brilliance, revealing the treasures within.
"Your Highness, these are all offensive Saint Treasures. Three were left by a Sword Saint, one by a Saber Saint, and one by a Spear Saint," Eunuch Sun explained, giving Su Han the choice. Swords, sabers, and spears were all weapons with immense killing power, so treasures left by Saints who wielded them would naturally be exceedingly strong.
Su Han carefully examined them and finally chose a black bead, a Saint Treasure left by the Spear Saint.
"This is a treasure left a thousand years ago by the Heaven-Puncturing Spear Saint. The Heaven-Puncturing Spear Saint once pierced the Void with a black Holy Spear. His strength was no less than that of your grandfather, the Mysterious Great Sword Saint." Seeing Su Han’s choice, Eunuch Sun put away the other four spheres of light and proceeded to explain its origin.
Heaven-Puncturing Spear Saint!
Su Han committed the name to memory, hoping the treasure he left behind would help him slay his formidable enemies.
WHOOSH!
Eunuch Sun reached out again, bringing forth five more spheres of light. These were all defensive Saint Treasures, each one extraordinary and with a significant history. Ultimately, Su Han chose a dark green tortoise shell engraved with Dao patterns that shimmered brightly.
"This is a treasure left by the Profound Turtle Great Saint," Eunuch Sun explained, making its value clear. "The Profound Turtle Great Saint possessed a trace of Xuanwu bloodline, lived an exceedingly long life, and had astounding defensive power. This can withstand a strike from a Great Saint!"
The black bead and the dark green tortoise shell were the two Saint Treasures Su Han chose—one for offense and one for defense. Although Saint Treasures were single-use items, they had an advantage over Holy Artifacts in their efficiency. They could instantly unleash the full power of a Saint’s strike, making them exceptionally convenient. Since the enemy had set a deadly trap for him this time, they would surely use Saint Treasures. Therefore, Su Han had to be prepared.
With his offensive and defensive Saint Treasures chosen, Su Han already knew what he wanted for his third item.
"Eunuch Sun, I need a treasure containing Sun and Moon Essence," Su Han requested, preparing to repair the Sword Nurturing Gourd. It was, after all, an exclusive treasure of the Myriad Swords Sect, and once repaired, it would surely provide him with immense support.
Eunuch Sun stretched out his hand once more and brought over three spheres of light, all of them containing extremely rare Supreme Treasures.
"I want this Sun and Moon Companion Crystal!"
In the end, Su Han chose a unique Crystal Stone. It was the smallest, only about the size of an egg, but it contained the twin energies of the sun’s essence and the moon’s brilliance. They entwined like lovers, glowing with the radiance of both sun and moon and creating a breathtakingly beautiful sight. The Sun and Moon Companion Crystal was extremely rare. Even in the Heavenly Sword Dynasty’s treasury, this was the only piece, and it was not very large.
I hope it will be enough to repair the Sword Nurturing Gourd.
With the three treasures selected, Eunuch Sun led Su Han out of the Treasure Pavilion. The place was of utmost importance; without a direct order from the Flying Immortal Great Emperor, no one could enter at will, or they would be slain on the spot by the Guardians.
All preparations are complete!
After bidding farewell to Eunuch Sun, Su Han left the Imperial Study, walked out of the palace, and departed the Imperial Capital, heading straight for the Chaotic Burial Ground. He went alone, boldly accepting the challenge without a hint of fear. Instead, he was seething with killing intent, as if he intended to leave a million corpses in his wake and make rivers of blood flow.
Qingyue, I’m coming to save you!
