Chapter 578 - 578: Natural Oddity (1)
“It might be a natural oddity!” Shen Ping looked around carefully. The black-robed artifact spirit had once said that other than the essence of beast blood, there were also natural oddities in the palace world. These were even more precious than the essence of beast blood. However, ever since they entered the cave, they had been focused on finding the essence of beast blood and had forgotten about this.
Now that he encountered such a strange situation, he naturally thought of natural oddities. After all, only items similar to beast blood essence could hide from his divine sense and magic power and make his Pupil of Sea Beast unable to detect them.
Realization dawned on Yin Ting, and she hurriedly followed suit. The bugs covered an area of more than ten thousand feet. This meant that the natural oddity was inside. The cave’s passageway was still very wide. The two of them searched for more than an hour but did not find anything. This made the confusion on their faces intensify. Could they have guessed wrongly?
They continued to search. They patiently searched every inch of the passageway. Finally, Yin Ting found a black bead on a protruding part of the cave wall. This bead was only the size of a thumb. If one was not careful, it would be easy to ignore.
Although Shen Ping was strong, he could not compare to Yin Ting in this aspect. When Yin Ting took out the black pearl, she immediately obtained information. Her eyes widened as she blurted out, “It’s really a natural oddity. A world pearl that can open a world inside.”
Shen Ping was shocked. “Create a world?!”
After cultivating to the Mahayana Realm, he was no longer the ignorant cultivator from back then. He naturally knew how precious treasures that could open up a world were. For example, most treasures below immortal artifacts only had storage functions. No matter how big the internal space of such a treasure was, it was not a world and could not accommodate living beings. There were powerful immortal artifacts that contained worlds, but they were basically just like the palace world.
Only supreme treasures could contain a vast world and could reproduce and survive in it. For example, the Nine Continents Tower and the supreme treasure he had exchanged for previously had a world inside. Even so, the world contained in such a supreme treasure was incomplete.
However, the world opened up by the World Pearl could be completely evolved. Whoever had such a treasure was equivalent to having a world.
“A natural oddity. There’s actually such a natural oddity in the cave. T-This Realm Sea Peak’s background…”
Now, he finally understood why the upper echelons of the Immortal Dao of the various races valued the Realm Sea Peak so much. If the news of the World Pearl spread, the entire myriad races would probably go crazy.
Yin Ting handed over the World Pearl. This was a Natural Oddity that was even more precious than a supreme treasure. If it was anyone else, they would definitely be greedy. Not to mention that it could open up a world. As long as it could succeed, it was equivalent to becoming the controller of a world. Yin Ting did not hesitate at all when faced with such a huge temptation.
“You found it, it’s yours.” Shen Ping took a deep breath and said slowly.
Yin Ting smiled and said, “If it weren’t for you, I would have already died just now. Natural oddities aren’t very useful to me. Moreover, I can’t afford to raise such a treasure.”
Hearing the ridicule in her tone, Shen Ping smiled brightly. He took the World Pearl and gave Yin Ting a hug.
“Refine the World Pearl first to avoid any accidents.” Yin Ting reminded him.
Only when such a treasure was in his hands would he be at ease. Shen Ping nodded. The method of refining the World Pearl was very simple. He only needed to use his divine sense and soul power to infiltrate it.
After refining it, the World Pearl actually entered Shen Ping’s sea of consciousness directly. His originally huge sea of consciousness space immediately seemed to have a backbone. A large amount of spiritual soul power circulated around the World Pearl.
“Fortunately, we came to the fork. Otherwise, we would have missed such a natural oddity.” Yin Ting could not help but say.
Shen Ping nodded and sighed. “This is fortune. Although we almost died, our gains were huge. There might also be natural oddities in the dark region, including the place we explored previously.
“Since we didn’t find it, it means that we’re not fated. Alright, don’t think too much. Let’s return to the main passageway in the central area and continue exploring. There’s a lot of beast blood essence in the central area. There should be more in the upper area!”
The two of them were filled with enthusiasm.
Under the towering ancient tree of the Spirit Race.
“Venerable Sovereign, twenty prodigies of our race have already died. The danger in the palace this time is even greater than the Heaven Ascension Hall of the Strange Beast Gate.”
“That’s right. Even in the competition of the Heaven Ascension Hall, it’s very difficult for prodigies to die. Moreover, there’s a top prodigy among them. This is a considerable loss for our Spirit Race.”
“The higher the danger, the more precious the treasures in the palace are. Everyone, don’t forget that the Realm Sea Peak is not an ordinary opportunity. Back then, even Immortal Venerables died in it, let alone these juniors. It’s already a great opportunity for them to have the chance to enter.”
“That’s right. Since ancient times, there have been dangers in competing for opportunities. This can be considered a form of training for those juniors.”
Many Immortal Venerables discussed. They did not care much about the death of ordinary geniuses. After all, it would not take much resources to nurture an ordinary genius. Only top geniuses would feel the pain.
The Spirit Race’s Venerable Sovereign did not say anything. He stared in the direction of the Realm Sea Domain, as if he had passed through endless layers of space and saw the Realm Sea Peak floating. Back then, many Venerable Sovereigns had joined forces to enter the Realm Sea Domain. After discovering the Realm Sea Peak, they had only opened a palace. Even a palace had benefited the various races endlessly. Now, two palaces had already appeared in the Strange Beast Gate. Clearly, the appearance of the Realm Sea Peak was not a coincidence..
