Chapter 2881: The Box’s Content

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon hearing the Chaos Divine Flame’s words, Duan Ling Tian was reminded of the mysterious old and quaint box that he had obtained by trading a single-trait Duke Grade Divine Ability from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. It was deemed as useless by many people, including the deceased He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. He had insisted on trading for the box since he trusted the Chaos Divine Flame when it said the box’s content would benefit him, and it was imperative for him to obtain it. The Chaos Divine Flame also said that the Profound Divine Metal and it could open the box for him. According to the Chaos Divine Flame, only Celestial Lords or those who were stronger would be able to detect the content of the box and open it. Anyone weaker than a Celestial Lord would not be able to see through the Formations that concealed the content of the box.

“Senior Chaos Divine Flame… Is Senior Profound Divine Metal awake?” Duan Ling Tian asked immediately after he stopped in his tracks.

As soon as he finished speaking, a weak voice that sounded as though it belonged to a middle-aged man said, “Young lad, I won’t be able to stay conscious for long. Find a quiet and secluded spot immediately. If we open the box in public, it’ll definitely attract trouble.” It was the Profound Divine Metal.

“Alright!” Duan Ling Tian sensed the urgency in the Profound Divine Metal’s voice so he did not hesitate and called out to Huan’er. Both of them quickly left and made their way to a secluded place in a corner of the Alchemy Square.

Almost a month had passed since Duan Ling Tian shot to fame in the Alchemy Conference. Therefore, people were paying him less attention than before. He could walk freely without attracting too many people’s attention.

In just a short moment, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er found a deserted corner where a few giant boulders were lying around. The duo went behind one of the giant boulders and turned their backs to the Alchemy Square.

“Huan’er, alert me if someone is approaching,” Duan Ling Tian said to Huan’er, reminding her to keep a lookout. Although he did not know what the box held, he knew it had to be valuable since the Chaos Divine Flame had said so. Moreover, the Profound Divine Metal had also reminded him to be careful.

“Yes, Brother Ling Tian.” Huan’er took Duan Ling Tian’s words seriously and began to scan their surroundings.

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was unaware that Lyu Luo, a disciple of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, had seen Huan’er and him hiding behind one of the giant boulders. She quickly said to Murong Bing, “Third Senior Sister… That wo… Duan Ling Tian is not a decent man. He just took that woman and hid behind the giant boulders. They must be up to no good.”

Fortunately, Duan Ling Tian did not hear Lyu Luo’s words. Otherwise, he would have been furious.

…

Behind the boulders.

Duan Ling Tian had taken the old and quaint box from his Spatial Ring so he said to the Profound Divine Metal and Chaos Divine Flame, “Seniors, the box is in my hand now.”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, a grey and a golden streak of light that were intertwined shot out of his chest into the box, disappearing from sight in just a blink of an eye.

“Hm?”

It did not take long before the box began to vibrate violently. A grey and golden light shrouded the seal of the box. In just a matter of seconds, the lights grew brighter.

Crack!

A loud and crisp sound rang in the air suddenly. The tightly sealed box sprung open. The grey and golden light shone brilliantly in the box as well and took a while before they finally dimmed, revealing the box’s content.

At this moment, the Chaos Divine Flame spoke again. “Young lad, the Profound Divine Metal and I are about to fall into a deep slumber again… We’ve inspected the object in the box. It’s a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. You can use the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon up to three times. Every time you use it, you’ll have strength comparable to an ordinary Celestial Lord… Your soul and Celestial Origin Energy will be at the level of a Celestial Lord until its effect wears off. You should use this Royal Grade Celestial Weapon…” Before the Chaos Divine Flame could further explain, it suddenly fell silent.

“A consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?”

An intricate hairpin lay in the box. The hairpin had a three-petal flower that was an eye-catching blood-red. It shimmered in the box. Its blood-red color looked fearsome.

“The Chaos Divine Flame said it’s a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression was solemn as he studied the hairpin in the box. He was no longer the same clueless young man he had been when he had first ascended to the Devata Realm. He had gained a level of understanding of the Celestial Weapons in this Devata Realm. Consumable Celestial Weapons were only of the royal grade or the emperor grade. Most of them could be used as little as one time up to a maximum of five times.

“I can use this Royal Grade Celestial Weapon thrice. It seems like each flower petal will give me strength comparable to an ordinary Celestial Lord until its effect wears off and the petal wilts!” Duan Ling Tian inhaled sharply, stunned by this discovery. When he regained his senses, he surveyed his surroundings intently before he furtively put the hairpin away, afraid of being seen.

A Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, consumable or not, was more than enough to cause an uproar in the Alchemy Square. Moreover, for someone with Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base, a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon was much more beneficial to him compared to an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon. Due to his cultivation base, he would not be able to unleash an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon’s full potential. He was only a Profound Stage Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial, after all. On the other hand, the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon would directly increase his strength to that of an ordinary Celestial Lord. In other words, whenever he used the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, he was no different from an ordinary Celestial Lord. Even if the weapon only granted him strength comparable to a One Basic Celestial Lord without any powerful Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities, his Celestial Origin Energy would be powerful enough for him to conquer the Six Southern Regions and the entire borderlands of the Southern Heaven Territory!

‘The Chaos Divine Flame has no reason to lie to me. It should be true that I’ll gain the strength of an ordinary Celestial Lord when I use this consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon even if the effect only lasts a short time! Moreover, according to the Chaos Divine Flames, there are no side effects to using it at all,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes shone. He could vividly imagine possessing the strength of an ordinary Celestial Lord after using the weapon. This was too good to be true!

The Royal Grade Celestial Weapon was a life-saving tool, and it was extremely precious since it could only be used thrice. Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian definitely would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary and he was in a dire situation. ‘There’s no need to use this Royal Grade Celestial Weapon unless it’s a life-or-death situation.’
