Ye Jiuyun fell to the ground, his entire state extremely dangerous. The immense oppression inherent to the underground divine palace suddenly entered his body, propelling him away.
Blood was forced from Ye Jiuyun’s ears and nose.
His internal organs were in turmoil, and his body was numb from the shock.
The tenth step of the divine palace was an insurmountable chasm for him.
Just then, a figure brushed past him.
This figure was riding a bull, and it was none other than the Heavenly Master.
Qin Hao sat on the back of the Banjiao Qingniu as it steadily ascended the steps.
Before this, Ye Jiuyun and the others had felt the immense oppression from the divine palace, but it was like nothing in front of the Heavenly Master.
Qin Hao fearlessly continued forward.
The immense oppression that was so significant for Ye Jiuyun and the others shattered upon contact with Qin Hao.
Seated atop the Banjiao Qingniu, Qin Hao climbed the steps in a few strides.
One level, two levels...
In the blink of an eye, the ten levels that were insurmountable to Ye Jiuyun,
Qin Hao had reached them in just a few steps.
It was extraordinarily effortless.
When he reached the tenth step, Qin Hao patted the bull’s horn.
The Banjiao Qingniu stopped its steps.
With a sweep of his horsetail whisk, the yellow Divine Sword on the ground was rolled up by it.
Qin Hao held the Divine Sword in his hand.
An Infinite Level Divine Sword.
Its quality wasn’t high, but what was somewhat impressive was that it came with a small divine power.
The sword emitted a faint Sword Qi as it was wielded.
The Sword Qi wasn’t particularly strong, but it was better than nothing.
Qin Hao glanced at Ye Jiuyun and casually tossed it over.
"Ye layman, you wanted this, right?"
The yellow Divine Sword emitted a sword cry as it flew towards Ye Jiuyun, embedding itself into the ground beside him.
The sword body vibrated.
Ye Jiuyun looked at the Divine Sword thrown by the Heavenly Master. It was exactly what he wanted.
Ye Jiuyun was stunned.
He originally thought that, having been repelled from the palace steps by the divine palace’s oppression and seriously injured, he would have no fate with that yellow Divine Sword.
Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Master had helped him.
He had retrieved the yellow Divine Sword and presented it to him.
Ye Jiuyun was instantly filled with immense gratitude towards Qin Hao.
The favor of being gifted a sword was no small matter.
Ye Jiuyun could feel that the yellow Divine Sword was definitely powerful.
With this Divine Sword and the cultivation methods obtained on the divine palace steps, as well as the resources from the ring,
his strength would certainly skyrocket in the coming period, surpassing the realm of Martial Artists.
After tossing the yellow Divine Sword to Ye Jiuyun,
Qin Hao also did a favor effortlessly.
An Infinite Level Divine Sword wasn’t important to the current Qin Hao.
But to Ye Jiuyun, it was very important.
Why not do a favor when it costs you so little?
After discarding the Divine Sword, Qin Hao continued upward.
Soon fifty steps were climbed,
The steps continued beyond two hundred.
There, Qin Hao found even more treasures.
The ground was cluttered with cultivation techniques, martial arts, and Divine Weapons.
Although the levels weren’t high, the quantity was vast!
Such items were useless for a Golden Core cultivator like Qin Hao.
But for ordinary people or low-rank cultivators, they were an immense fortune.
Unfortunately, Qin Hao had no interest in them.
He now just wanted to proceed to the palace above to see what lay within.
Qin Hao went straight to the top.
The main gate of the palace lay just ahead,
and with a push of his hand.
The massive doors slowly swung open.
After the doors were opened, Qin Hao stepped inside.
The pressure inside the palace was a hundred times that of the outside steps.
But even this amount of pressure hardly registered to Qin Hao.
Entering the palace, it was empty and echoing.
Ancient reliefs were everywhere.
On the reliefs, many legendary figures and stories were carved.
Qin Hao examined them for a while. Unfortunately, these legends were different from those on Blue Star.
None were familiar to him.
In each corner of the great hall stood four enormous stone giant statues.
These stone giants, poised as if holding up the great hall, played a role similar to support pillars.
Each one of the stone giants had a stern and ferocious countenance, looking down from above.
Standing at the center of the grand hall, Qin Hao had the illusion of being watched by the stone giants.
Behind these stone giants, Qin Hao discovered four different doors.
Each door led to a side palace.
Behind the first door was the Cultivation Method Hall.
Qin Hao entered it to find a chaotically arranged realm, storing various cultivation techniques.
Each technique flowed like streaks of light throughout the side hall and with a casual grab, Qin Hao seized one.
It was a technique named "Star Breathing Technique."
Corresponding with nine stars in the heavens, it was said that after practicing it, the internal reservoirs of Spiritual Energy within one’s body could rival nine stars.
This cultivation technique was of True Martial Level.
He let go, and the technique dissipated into glimmers of light and drifted away.
Qin Hao reached out again, grabbing what seemed to be the strongest scroll within reach.
"Devil God Earth Scroll!"
Immortal Spirit Level, Low Rank.
This was the strongest technique in the Martial Arts Hall?
Qin Hao glanced at it and found little interest.
He exited the Martial Arts Hall.
He had a system with him, and the technique he practiced, the Supreme Mysterious True Mantra Scripture, was of True Understanding Level.
A hundred times stronger than any technique available here.
These techniques were of no use to him.
Qin Hao then proceeded to check the other three doors.
These led to the Martial Arts Divine Power Hall, the Divine Weapons and Treasures Hall, and the Enlightenment Hall.
They contained Martial Arts Divine Powers, Divine Weapons and Treasures, respectively.
The last one, the Enlightenment Hall, was filled with abundant Spiritual Energy, designed for cultivators to meditate and seek enlightenment.
Qin Hao briefly visited these side halls.
To him, the contents were unappetizing, yet it seemed wasteful to leave them.
With little interest, he toured the area and then left.
