I Have a Compass for Opportunity

After so many ages have passed, only Foundation Establishment Magical Artifacts can still maintain their spiritual essence.

Its owner has long perished, and now it’s just an ownerless object. Liou Yuan wasn’t afraid of it hurting him, and he tentatively reached out to touch it with his hand covered in Blood Absorption Magic Gauze Clothing.

The bracelet showed no intention of resisting.

This emboldened Liou Yuan, who directly plucked it off and swiftly wore it on his left hand.

He didn’t have time to use the Fixed Star Compass to assess the bracelet’s grade and abilities, as he reached out and removed the green ring from the ancient cultivator’s index finger.

Liou Yuan placed it in his palm, scrutinized it for a moment, and concluded, "This must be a Storage Ring!"

The Storage Ring is much more precious than a Storage Bag. During the ancient cultivation period of the Cyan Feather Realm, such items were rare even among Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Back then, without Storage Bags, Storage Rings were the sole choice for cultivators to store items.

In terms of internal space and ease of carrying, Storage Rings far surpassed Storage Bags.

Those who could afford a Storage Ring had either deep backgrounds or formidable strength.

Clearly, this ancient cultivator was among these two types in their life.

Having a Storage Ring suggests there must be items inside, making Liou Yuan feel his venture was worthwhile. He confidently declared, "Obtaining this Storage Ring makes my painstaking effort to enter Qiwen Mountain worth it."

However, when he attempted to open the Storage Ring as he would a Storage Bag, he found the ring utterly immobile in his hand, seemingly having a restriction preventing Liou Yuan’s exploration.

It also thwarted Liou Yuan’s attempt to retrieve items from the ring.

Seeing the cheerful expression on his face suddenly turn dark, he cursed, "I knew it couldn’t be that simple."

After all, before this ancient cultivator’s demise, they were in Foundation Establishment. It’s impossible they didn’t leave means within the Storage Ring.

Foundation Establishment means are not something a cultivator in the Qi Cultivation Realm like Liou Yuan can easily break.

The good news is, after such a long time, the restriction inside the Storage Ring has lost much of its power.

Liou Yuan tried several brute force attempts with Spiritual Power, causing the green ring to emit a clear sound of refined iron clashing.

He clearly felt the restriction within the ring weakening.

"It’s not entirely impossible to open, just requires extra time." This was indeed good news, and Liou Yuan’s eyes lit up as he put the Storage Ring on his hand, planning to properly break the restriction later.

The items from the female cultivator’s body that could be removed had been taken by Liou Yuan.

He also fulfilled his promise to properly bury the ancient cultivator’s remains.

First, he took out a set of his own clothes from the Storage Bag to dress the female cultivator, then stored the corpse in the Storage Bag, intending to bury them in a serene place outside.

"A Foundation Establishment corpse is a rare Spiritual Object for demonic cultivators; it can’t fall into their hands."

Liou Yuan mumbled to himself.

After completing this, Liou Yuan glanced towards the Radiant Heaven-breaking Array.

From this distance, he could vaguely see the female Star Erosion’s figure; she stood on the edge of the array barrier, watching every move Liou Yuan made.

Having benefitted from her, Liou Yuan felt quite pleased and unusually approached the Radiant Heaven-breaking Array, speaking to the female Star Erosion from a distance: "Thank you."

While expressing gratitude shamelessly, Liou Yuan continued to chat with the female Star Erosion: "It would be nice to have more of these bodies. Alas, I really can’t bear to see all these ancestors exposed to the wilderness."

Liou Yuan’s shamelessness made the female Star Erosion’s face, identical to the ancient cultivator’s, stiffen for a moment.

Suppressing her inner irritation, she maintained her smile, trying to appear more amiable: "Such well-preserved remains are rare; there’s only this one outside."

"In fact, there are two more within the array. Why don’t you come in and take a look?"

The female Star Erosion spoke with a playful expression, pointing to the array barrier in front of her: "It only obstructs us, but it won’t affect humans."

Liou Yuan wasn’t a fool; he had seen with his own eyes three Foundation Establishment Star Erosions within the array, the fiercest one possibly at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, which even Foundation Establishment cultivators would think twice about entering.

He naturally wouldn’t admit defeat, boldly replying, "Forget it; I’m rushing home to cultivate. I’ll come another day."

"Haha!" The female Star Erosion had expected Liou Yuan wouldn’t dare come, and seeing his shameless display, she covered her mouth and laughed.

Soon she regained her composure, her expression becoming solemn and speaking word by word: "I know what you want; we are well-aware of this place’s situation. There are many good things, better than the items of that female cultivator you obtained."

"Why don’t we make a deal?"

"There it is." Liou Yuan raised a brow; he had known from the moment the three Foundation Establishment Star Erosions spoke, what they wanted.

They merely wished to escape from the Radiant Heaven-breaking Array’s confinement.

He didn’t even ask about the Star Erosion’s demands, replying straightforwardly: "That depends on your sincerity."

Liou Yuan, of course, wouldn’t release them.

Aside from whether he had the ability,

The ancient books’ descriptions of Star Erosion are terrifying; they eat anything, even devouring each other.

If he releases these three Foundation Establishment Star Erosions, the first to die would be him.
