212: Chapter 211 The Treasure Inside the Jade Box

The Golden Puppet felt the terrifying Pressure from the giant sword; it desperately tried to break free from Hu Nan and Wang Cheng's restraint and turn to flee.

Although it possessed no sentience, it could perceive the threat of death; the power of this giant sword was enough to completely crush it.

However, Hu Nan and Wang Cheng had long since tightly entangled the Golden Puppet; no matter how it struggled or roared, it could not move a single step and could only watch helplessly as the giant sword smashed towards it.

"Boom—!" A deafening sound echoed throughout the Trial Tower.

The giant sword slammed fiercely into the Golden Puppet's chest; a terrifying force erupted instantly, golden spiritual light and multicolored spiritual light collided and intertwined, and the aftershocks of the surging spiritual power spread out, shattering the ground of the ninth floor.

The Golden Puppet let out a muffled sound, its massive body falling backward abruptly; a huge dent was smashed into its chest by the giant sword, the gilded shell covering its body shattered one after another, the runes inside dimmed, and the golden halo in its eyes gradually extinguished, completely losing its vitality and turning into a pile of scattered gilded fragments that dissipated into the air.

Hu Nan and Wang Cheng also turned into dots of light in this strike and disappeared within the ninth floor.

Not long after the Golden Puppet died, a low rumbling sound came from underground; the ground trembled slightly, and the originally flat black stone ground slowly cracked open a gap.

Immediately after, an ancient stone platform slowly rose from the ground; the platform was carved entirely from white jade, its surface covered in complex runes, and it was surrounded by rich Spiritual Qi.

The stone platform landed steadily on the ground; the surface was flat and smooth, with four jade boxes neatly placed on it.

The four jade boxes were lustrous, each with a different color: white, cyan, red, and purple; each Jade Box was engraved with different runes and emitted a faint spiritual light, and one could vaguely feel the immense power contained within—clearly, each Jade Box held an extraordinary treasure.

The moment the stone platform fully rose, an invisible stream of information surged into Qin Changsheng's Sea of Consciousness like a tide.

This information told Qin Changsheng that he had passed the ninth floor.

He could choose one Jade Box from the stone platform to take away.

Once a Jade Box was picked up, he would be instantly teleported out of the Trial Tower; it could not be changed, and one could not be greedy and take more.

Qin Changsheng closed his eyes to digest this information; there was no surprise on his face, and instead, a knowing smile appeared.

Although he could only take away one Jade Box, he still had his Incarnation Hu Nan and Incarnation Wang Cheng.

The two of them could also take one Jade Box each.

As for the remaining one, he would leave it to fate.

Qin Changsheng said nothing more; he raised his hand and took out two lustrous Spirit Stones rich in Spiritual Qi from his Storage Pouch.

He began to chant, reciting the incantation to activate his Clone.

The next moment, the figures of Wang Cheng and Hu Nan appeared not far away once again.

Hu Nan and Wang Cheng stood quietly by Qin Changsheng's side; their gazes fell on the jade boxes on the stone platform, but they did not rashly step forward, waiting for Qin Changsheng's order.

Qin Changsheng walked slowly to the front of the stone platform; his gaze swept over the four jade boxes, his expression was calm, and he already had a plan in mind.

According to the rules of the Trial Tower, a Cultivator could only choose a Jade Box based on their own perception and could not know the treasures inside in advance, but Qin Changsheng was different.

Because Qin Changsheng possessed the trait Divine Sense.

He could know the treasures inside these jade boxes in advance.

Qin Changsheng's mind stirred, and he quietly activated the trait Divine Sense; an invisible force of Divine Sense slowly spread out like a tide, gently enveloping the four jade boxes on the stone platform.

Inside the first white Jade Box, an ancient key lay quietly; the key was pitch black.

This key was precisely the key that Chen Erniu needed.

Inside the second cyan Jade Box, a lustrous token hung quietly; Qin Changsheng recognized it at a glance—this was the legendary qiankun token.

Inside the third red Jade Box, a crystal-clear fragment lay quietly; the fragment shimmered with a faint golden light, and it was surrounded by a rich aura of the Heavenly Dao.

The treasure inside was the heavenly dao fragment that Qin Changsheng needed.

Inside the fourth purple Jade Box, there was a small jade bottle; the jade bottle was snow-white, the mouth of the bottle was sealed, and faint golden spiritual light spilled out from the bottle; Qin Changsheng used his Divine Sense to probe it and could feel that inside the jade bottle, a Medicinal Pill emitting golden light lay quietly; the aura of the Medicinal Pill was rich, yet extremely unfamiliar; for a moment, he actually could not discern the specific type or efficacy of this Medicinal Pill.

After seeing the treasures inside the four jade boxes clearly, Qin Changsheng slowly withdrew his Divine Sense and fell into deep thought.

The four treasures each had their own wonderful uses, but according to the rules, he himself could only take one, while Hu Nan and Wang Cheng, as his Incarnations, could each take one; in other words, he could take at most three treasures and had to make a choice.

The first thing to determine was the heavenly dao fragment in the red Jade Box.

This heavenly dao fragment was something he had to choose.

After all, the heavenly dao fragment could allow Qin Changsheng to upgrade a Golden Trait into a Heavenly Dao Trait.

He must not miss this heavenly dao fragment.

Next was the key in the white Jade Box.

Qin Changsheng calculated in his heart that this key was something even Chen Erniu cared about deeply, to the point of offering a high-grade fire spirit fruit as a reward; this was enough to show its preciousness, and it must hide an unknown secret.

More importantly, he had already promised Chen Erniu that he would bring the key back.

After determining the heavenly dao fragment and the key, what remained was the qiankun token in the cyan Jade Box and the golden Medicinal Pill in the purple Jade Box.

Qin Changsheng's gaze swept back and forth between the two, falling into a brief weighing.

The golden Medicinal Pill had a rich aura and seemed extraordinary, but he had no idea what the Medicinal Pill was used for; if it were an ordinary healing or buffing Medicinal Pill, it would not be worth the loss.

However, the qiankun token was different; it was a known special treasure; holding it would allow one to enter the Qiankun Pavilion and obtain Divine Abilities; whether it was cultivation resources or Cultivation Techniques, it was possible to obtain them, and its value was far beyond an unknown Medicinal Pill.

A moment later, Qin Changsheng made his decision, and his gaze landed firmly on the qiankun token in the cyan Jade Box.

He would give up the unknown golden Medicinal Pill and choose the qiankun token.

After all, a known Opportunity was far more worth grasping than an unknown risk.

Qin Changsheng nodded slightly; his gaze swept over the four jade boxes on the stone platform, and he spoke slowly, his tone firm: "Hu Nan, you take the heavenly dao fragment in the red Jade Box first."

"Wang Cheng, you take the qiankun token in the cyan Jade Box!"

"I will take the key in the white Jade Box!"

"Yes!" Hu Nan and Wang Cheng replied in unison.

Hu Nan's figure moved, and he quickly arrived before the red Jade Box.

The moment he picked up the red Jade Box, a gentle white light instantly enveloped his figure.

"Hum—!" With a soft sound, the white light flashed and disappeared, and Hu Nan's figure, along with the red Jade Box in his hand, vanished instantly from the ninth floor of the Trial Tower.

Qin Changsheng and Wang Cheng also stepped forward.

He walked quickly to the front of the cyan Jade Box and raised his hand to pick up the Jade Box.

Almost the moment he grasped the Jade Box, another white light descended, wrapping around his figure.

At the same time, Wang Cheng also walked quickly to the front of the white Jade Box and carefully picked up the Jade Box.

Just as he grasped the Jade Box, the third white light arrived on schedule, wrapping around his figure.

The next moment, Qin Changsheng and Wang Cheng were also teleported out of the Trial Tower.

Just as Hu Nan was teleported out, the entire Trial Tower suddenly began to tremble violently; a dazzling golden light erupted from the top of the Trial Tower, soaring into the sky, illuminating the entire Flowing Fire Sect in a brilliant glow.

This golden light was majestic and pure, carrying a rich aura of the Heavenly Dao; looking from afar, it was like a golden sun, dazzling and eye-catching.

On the square of the Flowing Fire Sect's Trial Tower, the Cultivators who had been discussing endlessly were instantly attracted by this sudden golden light; they stopped talking one after another, raised their heads, and stared fixedly at the golden light shooting into the sky, their faces full of astonishment and shock.
