SWNOVELXO Chapter 179 Shocking
Zhao Yu continued to tally the spoils of war, and he obtained a total of three magical treasures—the Extreme Demon Sabers. Among them, two were low-grade magical treasures, while one was a superior magical treasure.
All three demon sabers were the lifebound magic treasures of disciples from the great Heaven Extinguishing Demon Sect. Apart from the superior magical treasure's Extreme Demon Saber, which could fetch a good price, the remaining two sabers couldn't sell for the price of low-grade magical treasures.
However, the Netherworld True Water Flag in Lu Tianye's possession and the Ancient Lamp magical treasure in Wang Chongjue's hands were both universal magic treasures, which any Golden Core cultivator could easily activate.
Magical treasures are rare, and superior magical treasures are even rarer. To refine the Netherworld True Water Flag and his lifebound magic treasure, the Extreme Demon Saber, Lu Tianye had nearly exhausted all the resources he had acquired.
If that Netherworld True Water Flag was put up for auction in Yunluo Immortal City, it could easily fetch millions of low-grade spirit stones.
Zhao Yu, holding the Netherworld True Water Flag, revealed a hint of a smile, "With the Netherworld True Water Flag, I now have another method to deal with enemies. Not bad!"
With the addition of the Netherworld True Water Flag magical treasure, Zhao Yu had one more method of combat, naturally elevating his fighting power to a higher level.
Zhao Yu was a Golden Core seventh layer cultivator, and his divine sense was incredibly powerful, sufficient for him to control three superior magical treasures at the same time.
However, before this, all of Zhao Yu's resources were used to cultivate the Mountain Seal, Chi Emperor, Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor, and the White Ghost Emperor, leaving him with no spare spirit stones to purchase other magical treasures.
"The Demon Body of the Extinguishing Blade within the Heaven Extinguishing Demon Sect can also be cultivated to the twelfth layer of body refinement, comparable to the terrifying might of a Nascent Soul Great Perfection. However, the resources required for cultivation are too much. My urgent priority now is to elevate either the White Ghost Emperor or the Chi Emperor to fourth order."
"Once the White Ghost Emperor advances to fourth order, it would be equivalent to having a Nascent Soul old monster guarding me. At that time, my status in Yunluo Immortal City would surge, and I would also be able to compete for higher-level resources," Zhao Yu pondered to himself.
In the two great empires, the Great Qian Empire and the Hanlong Empire, Nascent Soul cultivators are the most powerful beings. Those Nascent Soul experts also have the most resources.
Many fourth-order heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and even fifth-order ones, are held by these Nascent Soul old monsters, appearing only in private exchanges within their small circles. Only a very small portion ever makes it to the auction.
"The White Ghost Emperor has devoured enough souls to elevate my Talisman Path Talent and Ghost Control Talent to the genius level!"
Zhao Yu lifted the Ten Thousand Calamities Spirit Wood Grand Formation, took away the corpses of several Golden Core cultivators, then returned to the Quiet Room of the Town Defense Command. With a thought, a cool and refreshing stream of air surged out, nourishing his soul.
Two days later, Zhao Yu opened his eyes in the Quiet Room.

"Talisman Path Talent: Talisman Path Genius (0/10000)."
"Ghost Control Talent: Ghost Control Genius (0/10000)."
With the transformation of his Soul Talent, Zhao Yu felt the connection between him and the White Ghost Emperor become even tighter, and various methods of cultivating spiritual ghosts emerged in his mind.
"The Ghost Control Talent is good! It allows for a tighter connection with the White Ghost Emperor, and the efficiency of transferring various ghost creatures to it using devouring Dao Fruits is higher. Moreover, I can now control a second lifebound spiritual ghost! However, controlling a second spiritual ghost is meaningless.
It's better to continue to invest all resources in cultivating the White Ghost Emperor," Zhao Yu felt the changes in his body and thought to himself.
A fourth-order White Ghost Emperor is more valuable than thirty third-order superior quality spiritual ghosts. A fourth-order White Ghost Emperor could easily slay thirty third-order superior quality spiritual ghosts.
The news of Zhao Yu's slaying of the True Disciple of the Heaven Extinguishing Demon Sect, Lu Tianye, quickly spread within the Yunluo Immortal City, causing quite a stir.
The Heaven Extinguishing Demon Sect was one of the four great Demon Sects of the Hanlong Empire, and its True Disciples were all geniuses with at least Earth Spirit Root talent. Lu Tianye possessed the rare Heavenly Spirit Root and was one of the prominent Nascent Soul seeds of the sect. Not many within Yunluo Immortal City could defeat him.
City Lord's Mansion of Yunluo Immortal City.
After listening to the subordinate's report, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Xuan Yun Zhenjun, "Lu Tianye was actually killed by Zhao Yu? That is truly unexpected. He had mastered one of the three great Divine Skills of the Heaven Extinguishing Demon Sect, the Heaven Extinguishing Demon Flame. The Ten Thousand Calamities Spirit Wood Grand Formation shouldn't have been able to stop him!"
A trace of regret swept across Yunluo Fairy's eyes, "His speed of cultivation was also quite satisfactory. What a pity, he was lecherous and not a good match."
Zhao Yu had reached the Golden Core seventh layer in just two hundred years of cultivation. Even in Yunluo Immortal City, known for its geniuses, this was extremely fast, and moreover, he had slain the True Disciple of the Heaven Extinguishing Demon Sect, Lu Tianye, proving his strength in battle.
If it weren't for the fact that he already had a Dao companion, Yunluo Fairy would have really liked to arrange a marriage between him and her daughter.
Xuan Yun Zhenjun and Yunluo Fairy, both Nascent Soul Experts, had each faced numerous odd encounters and life-threatening challenges to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. Even with their control of Yunluo Immortal City, they had trouble obtaining a genuine Infant Solidifying Pill.
Xuan Yun Zhenjun and Yunluo Fairy considered the future of their beloved daughter, Yun Jingxuan, hoping she could marry a powerful cultivator who could one day inherit the vast power of Yunluo Immortal City.
Xuan Yun Zhenjun said, "This person may not be a good match, but he is known for his loyalty and righteousness. We can let Jingxuan approach him. He will surely be able to help Jingxuan take control of Yunluo Immortal City in the future."
Yunluo Fairy also slightly nodded in agreement.
Even Nascent Soul Experts need to cultivate and win over Golden Core cultivators to hold sway over a powerful force. If one wishes to live freely without constraints, they can be a Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator.
However, in the two great empires, the number of Nascent Soul Loose Cultivators is very limited. That's because Nascent Soul Cultivators must cultivate on Fourth Order or higher Spirit Veins to advance their Magical Power Cultivation. If they are on Third Order or lower Spiritual Lands, they can only progress by consuming Fourth Order Spirit Pills that enhance Nascent Soul Spiritual Power.
Those Fourth Order Spirit Pills capable of enhancing Nascent Soul Spiritual Power are extremely precious. Even Nascent Soul Cultivators like Xuan Yun Zhenjun and Yunluo Fairy, who control an Immortal City, find it difficult to consume them regularly, let alone the impoverished Nascent Soul Loose Cultivators.
The following day, a gold chariot drawn by four Golden Core Flood Dragons flew above Yizhi Mountain. Sitting on the gold chariot was none other than the still stunningly beautiful Yun Jingxuan, dressed in man's attire.
Following beside that gold chariot were more than a dozen cultivators from Yunluo Immortal City, including two Late Golden Core Stage powerhouses.
"Greetings to the Young City Lord!"
Zhao Yu came forward with many Yunluo Immortal City disciples to pay their respects.
A tall, short-haired cultivator with the eyes of a hawk and a hooked nose, who looked rather unapproachable, stepped forward and said coldly, "Elder Zhao, may we verify your victories?"
"Of course, Elder Feng!"
Zhao Yu gave a slight smile, waved his hand, and from a corpse bag flew out the bodies of Lu Tianye and three other Golden Core cultivators, the body of Yin Luo, as well as their Lifebound Magic Treasures.
