Chapter 370 He Gets It All! The Holy King's Treasures All Belong to Him Alone?

Inside the great hall, the atmosphere was eerie and quiet.

Jiang Yun put the heavenly fire profound iron into his Storage Ring and looked up.

His gaze fell upon the deepest part of the great hall.

There, the final display stand stood quietly.

On the stand, a purple lingzhi floated in the air, emitting a dreamlike glow.

nine-leaf purple lingzhi.

Saint King Medium Grade.

It could be used to refine Medicinal Pills for reaching the Saint King Rank, or consumed directly to significantly increase one's cultivation.

This was the highest-grade item among the five supreme treasures.

It was also the only one still remaining in its original place.

Jiang Yun looked at the lingzhi, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"The fifth one..."

He murmured.

Around him, everyone's eyes followed Jiang Yun's line of sight.

Then, everyone was stunned.

"He... he's still going?"

Someone swallowed hard, their voice trembling.

"Out of five supreme treasures, he's already taken four... He wants this last one too?"

"Nonsense! If it were you, would you let it go?"

"But... but that's Saint King Medium Grade! Its grade is higher than the previous four! The trial will definitely be harder!"

"Hard? When has Master Jiang ever been afraid of difficulty?"

The crowd discussed in low voices, their eyes filled with complexity.

There was shock, awe, envy, and also resentment.

But no one dared to speak up and stop him.

Was this a joke?

The corpses of those two meteor powerhouses from just now were still steaming!

Standing in the distance, the Blood Lady looked at Jiang Yun's back, a flash of complex emotion in her eyes.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But in the end, she closed it.

She only silently took a step back.

He Yuanming stood to the side, his face full of awe.

Looking at Jiang Yun, only one thought remained in his mind.

This person must not be provoked.

Absolutely not.

Jiang Yun ignored the gazes behind him.

He just looked at the nine-leaf purple lingzhi, his mind quickly calculating.

"Five Elements Purgatory Formation..."

He had seen this Formation in the Medicine God Legacy.

It was an extremely terrifying trial Formation from the ancient era.

Composed of the five types of Origin power—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—it formed five layers of purgatory.

Each layer was a life-and-death test.

Only by passing all five layers could one obtain the treasure.

"With my current strength, forcing my way through the Five Elements Purgatory Formation..."

Jiang Yun frowned slightly.

He had self-awareness.

Although his Divine Sense strength had reached the Diamond Rank and his actual combat power far exceeded those of the same level.

But the Five Elements Purgatory Formation was a trial set up by a Saint King Rank powerhouse.

If he forced his way through, the success rate would be less than thirty percent.

However.

The corners of Jiang Yun's mouth curled up slightly.

He couldn't force his way through, but someone else could.

"Fox Immortal."

A moment later.

A cold voice echoed in his mind.

"What is it?"

It was the Fox Immortal.

Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said in his heart.

"Do you see that nine-leaf purple lingzhi?"

"Yes."

"That is the trial for the Five Elements Purgatory Formation. I think you should be very interested."

The Fox Immortal fell silent for a moment.

"Why?"

Jiang Yun smiled.

"You have the Five Elements Origin Law attribute and have fused with the five-colored divine seed. To you, this Five Elements Purgatory Formation is less of a trial and more of a..."

He paused.

"An Opportunity."

The Fox Immortal fell silent.

After a long time.

Her voice sounded again, carrying a hint of an indiscernible strange emotion.

"You... are giving this chance to me?"

Jiang Yun nodded as if it were only natural.

"Of course. If you take action, there's more certainty than if I do. And..."

He smiled.

"This treasure should be helpful for you to Breakthrough to the Diamond Rank, right?"

The Fox Immortal fell silent again.

This time, the silence lasted even longer.

In the shadows.

A slender figure stood there quietly.

The Fox Immortal looked at Jiang Yun in the distance, a complex light flashing in her pale golden eyes.

She remembered many things.

She remembered that at the beginning, she only treated him as a human who needed protection.

She remembered that later, she began to acknowledge his talent and Heart-Nature.

She remembered not long ago, seeing him in the Reincarnation, in that future where he crushed the stars.

And now.

He was giving away a chance that could allow her to Breakthrough her Bottleneck just like that.

Without any hesitation.

Without any conditions.

He had even suggested it himself.

A feeling she had never experienced before welled up in the Fox Immortal's heart.

Very unfamiliar.

Very subtle.

She couldn't say what it was.

She only felt that a corner of her heart had stirred slightly.

After a long time.

She spoke softly.

"Aren't you... afraid that I'll take the treasure and leave immediately?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment.

Then, he laughed.

That smile was very casual and frank.

"What is there to fear?"

He said.

"If you wanted to leave, you would have left long ago. Why wait until now?"

"And..."

He paused, his tone becoming serious.

"I know in my heart how many times you've helped me along the way."

"This treasure is just a small token of my gratitude."

"If you can Breakthrough because of this, I'll be happier than anyone."

The Fox Immortal fell silent.

She looked at Jiang Yun's young face, at the sincere light in his eyes.

That unfamiliar feeling in her heart grew a bit stronger.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling gently.

"Okay."

She said.

Her voice was very soft.

So soft it was almost inaudible.

But Jiang Yun heard it.

He smiled.

"Then it's settled."

However.

Just then, Jiang Yun suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly.

"Wait."

He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the survivors.

The Blood Lady, Meteorite Level 3.

He Yuanming, Meteorite Level 3.

Tie Muzhen, Diamond Rank Nine.

And a few other Amethyst Rank team members.

He frowned slightly.

"Fox Immortal, there's a problem."

"Hmm?"

"If you go for the trial now, these people in the hall..."

Jiang Yun's gaze became sharp.

"What if they attack me while you're inside the trial?"

Hearing this, the Fox Immortal also fell silent.

She knew Jiang Yun's concern wasn't without reason.

Jiang Yun currently had four Saint King Rank supreme treasures on him.

The Medicine God Legacy.

The ancient Pill Formula Incomplete Manual.

The nine revolutions soul returning pill.

The heavenly fire profound iron.

Any one of them was enough to drive a meteor powerhouse mad.

All four together were enough to make anyone take a desperate risk.

And now, there were still two meteor powerhouses in the hall.

The Blood Lady.

He Yuanming.

Although He Yuanming had always acted respectfully and the Blood Lady was too scared to move.

But who knew if they would have wicked thoughts once she entered the trial and Jiang Yun lost his biggest trump card?

Human nature cannot withstand testing.

Especially when faced with Saint King Rank supreme treasures.

The Fox Immortal was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"I can create illusions."

Jiang Yun was startled.

"Illusions?"

"Yes."

The Fox Immortal's voice was still cold but carried a hint of confidence.

"My Thousand Illusions Technique can perfectly transform into any creature I've seen. Including humans."

"In a moment, I will cast an illusion to make everyone see you entering the trial."

"While you yourself will hide."

"That way, they will think you are in the middle of the trial and have no time to attend to the outside world."

"Even if someone wants to act, they will hesitate for fear of the consequences."

Jiang Yun's eyes lit up.

"Good idea!"

He thought for a moment and asked again.

"What about yourself? Won't they notice you entering the trial?"

The Fox Immortal shook her head slightly.

"No. My illusion covers the entire hall. As long as I don't actively reveal myself, what they see will always be you in the trial."

Jiang Yun nodded.

"Then it's settled."

He took a deep breath.

"Let's begin."

As he finished speaking.

In the shadows, a light quietly flashed.

That light was invisible and intangible, yet it instantly enveloped the entire hall.

Inside the hall.

Everyone felt their vision blur slightly.

Then, they saw it.

Jiang Yun stepped toward the final display stand.

His back was straight and firm.

His pace was calm and unhurried.

Just like that, under everyone's gaze, he walked up to the nine-leaf purple lingzhi.

Then.

He raised his hand and pressed it against the stand's Restriction.

The next moment.

His figure disappeared into the light.

Everyone was stunned.

Then.

BOOM!!!

Exclamations instantly erupted!

"He's in!!! Master Jiang went in!!!"

"The fifth one! He's going to challenge the fifth supreme treasure!"

"My god! Is he really going to take all the Saint King Rank supreme treasures for himself?!"

"This is insane! Too insane!!"

"Five! A total of five Saint King Rank supreme treasures! If he gets them all... I can't even imagine!"

Some were so excited their faces turned red.

Some were so shocked their mouths hung wide open.

Some were so envious their eyes were about to pop out.

He Yuanming stood to the side, looking at the figure that had disappeared into the light, murmuring.

"Master Jiang... you're really going to be Heaven-Defying..."

Standing in the distance, the Blood Lady's eyes flashed with complex emotions.

There was resentment.

There was envy.

But more than that, there was relief.

Relief that she hadn't acted just now.

Relief that she was still alive.

She looked at the disappearing figure and silently swore in her heart.

If this person doesn't die in the future, he will surely become a titan.

She must never become his enemy.

Absolutely never.

And while everyone was shocked by Jiang Yun entering the trial.

No one noticed.

In a corner of the great hall.

A young figure stood there quietly.

It was Jiang Yun.

He just stood in the corner, looking at the display stand not far away.

Watching the "himself" enveloped by the illusion disappear into the light.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"The show has begun,"

He said softly.

Then, he withdrew his gaze and began to look around.

In the great hall, there weren't many survivors left.

Originally, there were over twenty people.

Now, only a dozen or so remained.

The bodies of those who had died in the trials still lay where they fell, with no one to collect them.

A faint smell of blood permeated the air.

Jiang Yun looked at those people and shook his head slightly.

Greed is indeed the original sin.

For those Common treasures, although the trials were dangerous, they weren't necessarily fatal.

Unfortunately, some people were too greedy.

They insisted on challenging treasures that were beyond their capabilities.

As a result, they didn't get the treasure and lost their lives instead.

He looked at the remaining people.

There were Amethyst Rank team members trembling with fear, no longer daring to approach any of the display stands.

There were pale-faced Diamond Rank Loose Cultivators looking at those stands, their eyes filled with dread.

There were also Meteor experts like Blood Lady and He Yuanming standing in the distance with complex expressions.

Jiang Yun's gaze lingered on Blood Lady and He Yuanming for a moment.

These two were currently the biggest threats to him in the hall.

Meteorite Level 3 and Meteorite Level 3.

Although Fox Immortal could insta-kill a Meteorite Level 4,

that was because Fox Immortal was at the Diamond Ninth Tier Peak and possessed the Five Elements Origin Law, allowing her combat power to crush them.

But now, Fox Immortal had entered the trial.

If these two took the Opportunity to harbor any ill intentions...

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes.

Time passed, second by second.

Inside the great hall, the atmosphere was eerie and silent.

No one spoke.

No one dared to move.

Everyone just watched that display stand, waiting for the result.

Suddenly,

someone spoke in a low voice.

"Do you think... Master Jiang can succeed?"

The speaker was an Amethyst Rank team member, his voice kept very low.

The person next to him glanced at him and also replied in a hushed tone.

"Nonsense! When has Master Jiang ever failed?"

"But... this is the Five Elements Purgatory Formation! I heard it's one of the most terrifying trial Formations from the ancient era!"

"So what if it's terrifying? Master Jiang passed four trials in a row, would he be afraid of this?"

"That's true..."

Someone else joined the discussion.

"I just want to know now, if Master Jiang really takes all five of these supreme treasures, what will we do?"

"What do you mean 'what will we do'?"

"We won't be able to get any of these treasures at all..."

That person felt a bit depressed.

The person next to him sneered.

"Can't get them? Are you going to use your life to get them?"

"Look at those who died! What's the end for greedy people?"

That person followed his gaze and saw the corpses.

He immediately shuddered.

"You're right... Treasures are good, but life is more important..."

"Exactly. The fact that Master Jiang can let us live is already a huge favor. Still want to take treasures? Are you dreaming?"

The crowd discussed in low voices, their words filled with awe for Jiang Yun.

It wasn't just respect.

It was awe.

A respect born of fear.

Jiang Yun listened from the corner, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

These people saw things clearly enough.

He looked up at the display stand.

"Fox Immortal, it's up to you now."

He murmured.

Time continued to flow.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Suddenly,

a slight vibration came from the direction of the display stand!

The vibration was very light.

But everyone instantly looked over!

Then,

they saw

the light on the display stand begin to flicker violently!

Golden light!

Cyan light!

Blue light!

Red light!

Yellow light!

Lights of five colors intertwined, illuminating the entire hall!

Someone exclaimed.

"Five Elements power! This is the power of the Five Elements!"

"The trial has reached the critical moment!"

"Master Jiang! Master Jiang must hold on!"

Everyone stared nervously at the display stand, not even daring to breathe loudly.

The five-colored light grew brighter and brighter.

Brighter and brighter.

Finally,

BOOM!!!

A massive explosion!

The five-colored light instantly burst apart!

The entire hall was illuminated as if it were broad daylight!

Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again,

the light had already dissipated.

The Restriction on the display stand had vanished.

And the nine-leaf purple lingzhi had also disappeared.

In its place was a figure.

A slender figure.

Nine snow-white fox tails swayed gently behind her.

Pale golden eyes flickered with the light of the Five Elements Origin.

Her peerlessly beautiful face was cold and noble.

It was Fox Immortal.

Everyone was stunned.

The whole place was deathly silent.

Then,

someone spoke stutteringly.

"It's... it's that... that familiar..."

"The one that insta-killed a Meteorite..."

"Why is she there?!"

"Where is Master Jiang?! Where did Master Jiang go?!"

Everyone looked around, searching for Jiang Yun's figure.

Then,

they saw him.

In the corner of the hall,

a young figure slowly walked out.

It was indeed Jiang Yun.

He looked at everyone and smiled slightly.

"Everyone, are you looking for me for something?"

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

What was going on?!

They clearly saw Master Jiang enter the trial just now!

How come his familiar was the one who came out?!

And Master Jiang himself, why was he in the corner?!

Some rubbed their eyes, suspecting they had seen wrongly.

Some pinched their thighs, suspecting they were dreaming.

Some opened their mouths wide, unable to say a single word.

He Yuanming froze in place, his face full of shock.

He looked at Jiang Yun, then at Fox Immortal on the display stand.

Suddenly,

he understood.

Illusion.

It must be an illusion.

Master Jiang used an illusion to deceive everyone!

He let his familiar enter the trial while he hid himself!

This way, even if someone wanted to make a move while he was in the trial, they would have no way to do so!

What deep calculation!

What meticulous thinking!

In He Yuanming's heart, his awe for Jiang Yun deepened by several more degrees.

Blood Lady was also stunned.

She looked at Jiang Yun, then at Fox Immortal.

A flash of lingering fear passed through her eyes.

If... if she had harbored ill intentions just now...

Then now...

She didn't dare to think further.

She just silently took a step back, and then another step back.

Fox Immortal walked down from the display stand.

She walked in front of Jiang Yun and nodded slightly.

"It succeeded."

Her voice was still cold.

But Jiang Yun keenly sensed that within that coldness, there was a hint of softness.

He smiled.

"Congratulations."

Fox Immortal looked at him, and an imperceptible light flashed in those pale golden eyes.

She nodded gently.

Then, with a flash of her figure, she disappeared into the shadows.

Only then did the crowd come to their senses.

Exclamations burst out once again!

"Succeeded!!! Master Jiang succeeded again!!!"

"Five! Five Saint King Rank supreme treasures! He took them all!"

"Heavens! Is this real?! I'm not dreaming, am I?!"

"Too crazy! This is too crazy!!"

Some were so excited they were incoherent.

Some were so shocked their entire bodies were trembling.

Some looked at Jiang Yun as if they were looking at a monster.

Jiang Yun ignored those voices.

He just looked at everyone and spoke calmly.

"Everyone, the trials continue. Don't mind me."

Everyone looked at each other.

But no one dared to speak their mind.

They just nodded silently and then dispersed.

He Yuanming came forward and cupped his fists in a salute.

"Congratulations, Master Jiang. My best wishes to you."

He was all smiles, his eyes full of sincerity.

Jiang Yun smiled slightly.

"Commander He is too polite."

He Yuanming shook his head.

"It's not politeness, it's genuine admiration."

He sighed.

"This old man has lived for so many years and seen countless geniuses. But someone like Master Jiang..."

He gave a thumbs up.

"The very first."

Jiang Yun smiled and didn't say much.

He Yuanming was also sensible and didn't ask much about the illusion, just congratulated him a few more times and then stepped back.

Others also came forward to congratulate him one after another.

Jiang Yun responded to each one with a peaceful attitude.

Blood Lady stood in the distance, hesitating for a moment.

In the end, she didn't dare to come forward.

She just cupped her fists from afar and gave a salute.

Jiang Yun nodded slightly as a response.

Blood Lady breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped back.

When everyone had dispersed,

Jiang Yun turned around and looked at the scattered display stands in the hall.

Those Common treasures still lay there quietly.

Unclaimed.

It wasn't that no one wanted them.

It was that they didn't dare.

With the lesson from those people earlier, who would still dare to challenge easily?

Jiang Yun looked at those treasures, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

The five supreme treasures, he had already taken.

But.

Who said that taking only the supreme treasures was enough?

He stepped forward and walked toward the nearest display stand.

Everyone was stunned.

Then,

someone exclaimed.

"Master Jiang! Master Jiang is going to continue!"

"He... he's going to take those Common treasures?!"

"My god! Is he going to sweep the entire hall clean?!"

"Quick! Keep up! Otherwise, we won't get anything!"

Everyone woke up as if from a dream and rushed toward those display stands.

For a moment, the hall was in chaos.

Jiang Yun looked at the people scrambling and smiled slightly.

He was in no hurry to act.

He just stood in front of that display stand and watched quietly.

Only then did everyone react.

With Master Jiang here, what were they scrambling for?

Master Jiang hadn't even made a move yet!

They quickly stopped and looked at Jiang Yun awkwardly.

Jiang Yun smiled.

"Everyone, each to their own ability. Don't mind me."

He paused.

"However, I have a suggestion."

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears.

Jiang Yun pointed to those display stands.

"The trials for these treasures, although dangerous, are not necessarily fatal. As long as you act within your means and are not greedy, you should be able to come out alive."

He looked at the trembling Amethyst Rank team members.

"You can start from the simplest ones. Try those with low grades first to accumulate experience. Once you are confident, then go challenge the higher grades."

Those team members heard this and a flash of gratitude appeared in their eyes.

"Thank you for the guidance, Master Jiang!"

"Thank you, Master Jiang!"

They all thanked him and then cautiously walked toward those low-grade display stands.

Jiang Yun nodded and withdrew his gaze.

Then, he looked at those display stands.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Well then, next..."

He said softly.

"It's my turn."

As his voice fell,

he stepped forward and walked toward the nearest display stand.

Behind him,

everyone was watching him...
