Chapter 963 - 862: A Blessing in Disguise
"We will not!"Duan Gujin and Mo Yan immediately felt tense, thinking Wu Xiuqing was about to attack them.
Wu Xiuqing's previous actions made them realize that this woman, although extremely beautiful, was hard to fathom, and her temper was unpredictable.
"Don't be nervous! Let's do it this way: I'll divide these storage rings into two piles, and each of you can choose one. Whatever treasures are in the pile you choose are your destiny!"
Having said that, Wu Xiuqing divided the storage rings into two piles and let Duan Gujin and Mo Yan choose. Each chose a pile of storage rings.
"Leave now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Xiuqing turned into a shadow and disappeared in front of them.
Duan Gujin and Mo Yan extended their Divine Sense and saw the Wu Xiuqing in front of them also vanished.
"What should we do?"
Seeing Wu Xiuqing disappear, Mo Yan asked anxiously.
"We should return immediately!"
Duan Gujin felt tense, unable to guess what Wu Xiuqing intended to do.
He knew that whatever Wu Xiuqing planned, this place filled with corpses was definitely not where they should stay.
He grabbed Mo Yan and made a rapid escape from the area.
Once they saw the plaque of Ascension Academy and confirmed that no one was following them, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That really scared me just now!"
Recalling what had happened earlier, Mo Yan broke into a cold sweat, still shaken.
Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he said, "Mo Yan, whatever happened with that woman, you must not speak of it. That woman's name is Wu Xiuqing, and she should be considered a Demon God now. Let me briefly explain what a Demon God is: that woman's true form isn't human; she's an Innate Spiritual Object. So, the woman we encountered was truly unfathomable as Ghost Gods."
"An Innate Spiritual Object!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan gasped; he had read about Innate Spiritual Objects in classics. He knew that they were entirely different from the Human Clan and couldn't be understood from a human's perspective.
Some Innate Spiritual Objects, as long as their head wasn't destroyed, could regenerate entirely even if every other part was destroyed, without any consequence.
If it were a human, having limbs severed would require Spiritual Medicine or Elixir Pills to regrow, inevitably impacting future cultivation.
"So she's an Innate Spiritual Object; no wonder she could have two avatars!"
Now understanding her identity, Mo Yan no longer questioned Wu Xiuqing having two avatars.
"Let's return!"
Duan Gujin quickly led Mo Yan back into Ascension Academy. Once back in his quarters, he opened all the storage rings.
After a while, he discovered many Cultivation Divine Sources within the storage rings.
The Divine Origin is a resource specifically for Divine World Martial Artists to cultivate, exceedingly rare and much more effective than ordinary Elixir Pills.
However, for ordinary Martial Artists in the Divine World, the Divine Origin is not easily attainable.
Duan Gujin weighed the Cultivation Divine Source from the storage rings, estimating it to be at least twenty pounds.
In the Divine World, Divine Origin is an extremely precious resource, and he estimated the Cultivation Abyss he held could be traded for at least two High Grade Divine Weapons.
In addition to the Divine Origin, there were five Mid-grade Divine Weapons, seventeen Low Grade Divine Weapons, and various Cultivation Elixirs and classics.
"Wu Xiuqing is really generous!"
After contemplating for a moment, he transferred all the treasures from the storage rings into a space bracelet.
Then, he went next door to find Mo Yan.
Upon seeing Mo Yan, he warned him not to reveal what happened to anyone, not even the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Sect.
"Mo Yan, you might not understand the value of these treasures. I'm telling you, you must not disclose their secrets, or it could bring mortal danger!"
Duan Gujin, not wanting Mo Yan to get into trouble, earnestly admonished him.
"I understand!"
Mo Yan did not know much about the value of the treasures he received, but after Duan Gujin's repeated warnings, he realized the situation was serious.
"I understand!"
Mo Yan's eyes flickered as he guessed whether Duan Gujin might covet his treasures.
"I don't think he would have designs on my treasures!"
After pondering for a while, he suddenly thought of a question.
"Brother Duan, do you think Wu Xiuqing might have tampered with our treasures, like she previously did with her treasures that ended up exploding and killing that Martial Artist?"
Earlier, he was too nervous to consider this question.
Now that his anxiety slightly eased, he remembered that scene and immediately grew fearful.
"Rest assured, I think there's no need for her to do so. Wu Xiuqing is incredibly powerful. I imagine if you stay in the Divine World, you may witness her eventually becoming an Immortal!"
Duan Gujin replied.
"Are you really sure she didn't tamper with our storage rings? Or that she isn't planning to blow up Ascension Academy?"
Mo Yan asked worriedly.
"Her strength far exceeds ours. If she wanted to kill us, it would be easy. If she wanted to destroy Ascension Academy, it would be easy as well. If she wanted to act, she wouldn't use such petty means against us!"
Earlier, Duan Gujin recalled some aspects of Wu Xiuqing, suspecting that she might have reached the Supreme God Realm.
"Don't overthink it. Focus on your cultivation! We have indeed turned calamity into fortune!"
Duan Gujin could only describe their previous encounter as a blessing in disguise. He speculated that Wu Xiuqing's cultivation had reached the Supreme God Realm because she had no interest in the Divine Origin within the storage rings, suggesting her cultivation had surpassed the need for them.
In the Divine World, Divine Origin is only suitable for cultivation breakthroughs and the Demigod Realm, not for higher cultivation realms.
In the Divine World, Demigod Realm Martial Artists are numerous, making Divine Origin extremely rare.
Divine Origin is sourced from the Immortal Territory Forbidden Land, with an annual production of over ten thousand pounds. Part of it is given to the Divine World, and part kept for themselves.
Reportedly, the Divine World receives only two thousand pounds annually.
Currently, Duan Gujin possessed twenty pounds of Divine Origin, indicating that those hundreds of slain Martial Artists were no ordinary individuals, likely quite wealthy.
He had no interest in the true identities of those Martial Artists he encountered.
As just a disciple of Ascension Academy, he found it extraordinary that a Divine World expert regarded an Ascension Academy disciple as anything but insignificant, highlighting the expert's exceptional magnanimity.
