Path to Heaven

Purposefully leaving some suspense for himself, Wei Suo didn’t bother with that Treasure Receiving Pocket but chose to observe this mediocre looking Black Iron robe.

Yet after scanning with his divine sense, Wei Suo was shocked to discover that his divine sense had been reflected away.

After breathing heavily, Wei Suo stripped off his artifact robe, and wore on the Black Iron artifact robe.

“Pu!” Within this tranquil room, a sudden transparent ripple had swept out in the air around Wei Suo.

Wei Suo’s eyes instantly shone.

As he poured waves of purple true energy in, deep black wind sickles repeatedly cleaved out from the Black Iron robe; hovering around him. In that instance, Wei Suo resembled a gigantic wind porcupine.

A surge of matchless delight flushed Wei Suo’s face.

This Black Iron artifact robe was actually a spirit class hybrid offensive-defensive artifact robe!

Wei Suo could sense that not only could those deep black wind sickles fend against an opponent’s skills and artifacts, it could even be unleashed as assaults to his will. As long as he poured in true energy, this Black Iron robe could unleashed a hurricane of wind blades.

In addition to that, this Black Iron robe could even resist divine sense attacks, and further enhance one’s divine sense by a little; increasing the effectiveness of activating ‘sense-stab’ kind of techniques.

Sense-stab skill techniques meant utilizing one’s divine sense to unleash an attack. If one’s divine sense was stronger than the opponent, it could easily stun opponents into a daze; rendering them unable to attack. The worst case was to directly drive the opponent into insanity.

Such a skill technique was analogous to the divine sense attack of the ‘Devouring Heart Rinse’ technique, only grasped by a minute amount of cultivators. Naturally, Wei Suo wouldn’t understand a single thing……but relying on this artifact rohbe now, Wei Suo could unleash such a skill technique; moreover, his divine sense would be slightly strengthened.

Due to his experiences with crafting talismans, Wei Suo’s divine sense was already stronger than ordinary Heavenly Circuit Stage level 2 cultivators. With the efficacy of this artifact robe, the might of Wei Suo’s ‘Sense-stab’ could even rival a Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3 cultivator.

Which goes to say, in a situation without any defensive externalities, an ordinary Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3 cultivator would be stunned; becoming incapable of activating skill techniques or artifacts.

Furthermore, as Wei Suo cultivation grows stronger, his divine sense ‘Sense-stab’ would become even deadlier.

This, Wei Suo had once again acquired another underhand assassination tool.

“No wonder those cultivators had subconsciously set their gazes onto this artifact robe.”

Without stripping off the Black Iron artifact robe, Wei Suo then picked up the final Treasure Receiving Pocket…….

“Divine Six Suns Firefork! That skeleton was the Six Suns Mad Demon, Old Devil Qin!”

Wei Suo couldn’t help but gasp when the contents of the Treasure Receiving Pocket was poured out.

A golden glittering artifact that coiled like a tiny serpent, with its head estranged protruding like a fork. Atop it, were 6 glows that resembled 6 tiny suns.

Upon closer inspection, this inch long peculiar fork artifact was covered with scales which trickled around like veins, and 6 circle talismanic patterns of the sun; where the gold radiance was dazzling out from.

Placing this artifact in his hand, Wei Suo circulated his true energy in. Within a split second, 6 intensified glows combusted out of the hovering artifact, glowing brighter than the Luminous Sun talisman. A layer of golden flames engulfed this coiled artifact, abruptly heating up the room temperature ferociously.

Wei Suo finally understood why those cultivators treated his possessions with utmost importance…….

That Old Devil Qin had an exceedingly vicious reputation around Spirit Peak City.

Fabled to originally be a no name, weak loose cultivator, he accidentally stumbled into a cavern abode of a man named the Six Suns Wanderer, and inherited the legacy of that ancient formidable cultivator. Apart from Six Suns Wanderer’s cultivation technique, he also obtained a mid-grade spirit class artifact – this Divine Six Suns Firefork.

With the resurgence of that artifact, its deadliness horrified the multitudes. The blinding brilliance of those scorching sun glows claimed the visions of oppositions. Such was the formidability of its divine flame that even the caster could not resist against it. Afterwards, Old Devil Qin proceeded to massacre a tiny sect, and stole their sect inheritance treasure – a spirit class Dark Yin artifact robe that was said to be capable of resisting fire energies. It seemed like that was this Black Iron artifact robe.

As it turned out, this artifact robe even possessed a fire energy resistance apart from the efficacy that Wei Suo tested out previously, and could work miraculously with Wei Suo’s Fireflow Magic Pearl……..no wonder this Dark Yin artifact was preserved perfectly intact throughout the decade of residing within that land of inferno, appearing even brand new.

For the sake of this artifact robe, Old Devil Qin had massacred that sect, and suffered the wrathful pursuit of Thought Division Stage experts related to that clan. Following that, all news of Old Devil Qin vanished, and people believed him to have perished under the joint pursuit of those Thought Division Stage experts. Never did Wei Suo expect, Old Devil Qin had fallen to the clutches of the Scarletwing Flame Devil, after entering Sky Valley in search of treasures with Old freak Feng and the others.

Wei Suo’s offensive prowess had initially been enhanced by Granny Jin’s Golden Mallet. Yet in this instant, it suddenly skyrocketed with this mid-grade spirit class artifact. Such an event was a pleasant surprise indeed.

When he inspected the other objects of Old Devil Qin’s Treasure Receiving Pocket, Wei Suo discovered a spiritual stone pouch containing over 200 high grade spiritual stones. In addition to that were 2 half-spirit class artifact shields, a Scarletjade strip, a Scarletgold artifact shield and several miscellaneous objects like pellet medicines……

Wei Suo picked up the Scarletgold artifact shield, as his brows reflexively skewed upwards.

With a wave of thick fire energy, comparable to the Divine Six Suns Firefork surging out, the resistive property of this circular golden artifact shield wasn’t something an ordinary half-spirit class artifact shield could contend with. Wei Suo immediately discovered, this Scarletgold artifact shield was actually an incomplete product. Its frame had merely been forged, but devoid of any talismanic patterns or magic arrays.

Wei Suo placed down this incomplete artifact shield with great regret, before he examined the Scarletjade strip. He was instantly delighted.

As it turned out, that Scarletgold artifact shield was named Divine Six Suns Fireshield, similarly a mid-grade spirit class artifact as the Divine Six Suns Firefork; except, it hadn’t been completely forged. Yet detailed inside this Scarletjade strip, was the forging method for this Divine Six Suns Fireshield! This indicated the prospect that Wei Suo could forge this incomplete Divine Six Suns Fireshield into a true mid-grade spirit class defensive artifact……

Moreover, the Scarletjade strip recorded that the Divine Six Suns Fireshield could conjure up the same scorching six suns, with its divine flames comparable to the Dan-pellet flames of a level 6 demonic beast.

Browsing through these recordings, Wei Suo subconsciously clicked his tongue.

Dan-pellet flames of a level 6 demonic beast. That was the same might as the Dan-pellet flames of the Scarletwing Flame Devil. Wei Suo had personally witnessed a half-spirit class artifact practically melting in its face. If he truly completed this artifact shield and summoned it, an opponent with a true spirit class artifact would think twice in activating it; just like dealing against a Scarletwing Flame Devil.

With such potential, Wei Suo resolved in his heart that he must complete the forging of this shield once he had the time.

“This is?”

After casually rummaging through the pile of talismans, a remnant piece of a map caused Wei Suo to tremble slightly.

When he retrieved his own map remnant from his Treasure Receiving Pocket and compared the two, Old Devil Qin’s one was clearly the same as Wei Suo’s. But, this one was amplified by many folds compared to Wei Suo’s.

Cyan City Ruins! This piece of paper, was actually the map remnant of the Cyan City Ruins!

Combining both pieces, it resembled a quarter of the entire map. However, Wei Suo couldn’t piece them perfectly together, as a huge chunk was still missing between both map remnants.

Having this map remnant, Old Devil Qin should’ve been aware of the Cyan City Ruins, knowing it to be the historical remains of an ancient sect. Perhaps after he had acquired the cavern abode of that Six Suns Wanderer, his ambitions grew after realizing the manifold fortunes residing within the remains of this ancient sect; thus, planning to go treasure hunting in the future.

Anyway, the green gowned Old Man had another place he wanted Wei Suo to investigate. Except, Wei Suo’s current capabilities weren’t adequate and couldn’t investigate them. Hence, without thinking much, Wei Suo kept the two map remnants; before he started summing up his reapings…….

Clueless before adding, receiving a shock upon adding.

Rich, I’m rich!!!

Adding all his spiritual stones together, tallied up to a total of 64,000 plus low grade spiritual stones.

Pure spiritual stones alone already had 64,000 pieces!

Following that, was the Treasure Receiving Pockets, a total of 15 pockets! In addition to two of his own one, he now had 17 Treasure Receiving Pockets; it was even possible to set up a specialized merchandise stall for it. With so many Treasure Receiving Pockets, Wei Suo decided to first sell ten of the lower grade ones and leave 7 with him. Auctioning off these Treasure Receiving Pockets, would possibly attain a valuation of over 1,500 low grade spiritual stones each; thus, that was equivalent to 15,000 low grade spiritual stones.

Next, were his defensive artifact shields and artifacts.

He had amassed a total of 19 half-spirit class artifact shields! While half-spirit class divine-light light screen artifacts, he had 8……..in addition to what he previously had…..even if Wei Suo didn’t mind having an excess of defensive artifacts, he couldn’t not admit that this was practically too much.

Moreover, he still possessed a true spirit class Scarlet Shell shield, the Dark Yin artifact robe, and those near spirit class Divine light Wooden Token and the Golden Sunflower Magical shield from that Moonlight Sect disciple. Eliminating those special usage artifact shields, Wei Suo was prepared to sell of a surplus of 20 defensive artifact shields and artifacts.

These half-spirit class defensive artifacts, were at least worth 1,500 low grade spiritual stones a piece. From this, it was equivalent to 30,000 low grade spiritual stones!

Secondly, were his offensive weapon artifacts.

His harvest of weapon artifacts were truly astounding.

A true mid-grade spirit class Divine Six Suns Firefork, a Thunderlight Mallet that was stronger than a low-grade spirit class, a low-grade spirit class Ghost Tooth Blade, another low-grade Cyanjade Dagger, a broken Green Flying Sword, a bone artifact of the demonic music category, and a Fire Spirit Ruby. The value of these artifacts, had surpassed most ordinary half-spirit class artifacts.

Furthermore, Wei Suo had a total of 19 other half-spirit class offensive artifacts.

This was essentially a bumper harvest!

In this perspective, half-spirit class artifacts that were absolutely essential for most Heavenly Circuit Stage level 1 cultivators, were obsolete in Wei Suo’s hands.

Apart from the Icejade Coil, the Firejade Gourd, Sneaky Copper Nail, and other large scale offensive artifacts, he could practically sell of those other half-spirit class artifact weapons. Moreover, a half-spirit class weapon had a higher valuation than artifact shields, worth at least above 2,000 low grade spiritual stones.

Selling of 16-16 weapons, would convert to a fortune of 30,000 low grade spiritual stones!

Selling of these unusable objects for pure spiritual stones, a safe estimate would be a harvest of 140,000 low grade spiritual stones!

Next was a massive heap of talismans, Golden Spirit Pellet, Energy Recovery Pellets and others.

The various talismans alone had over a hundred pieces, while there were over 200 Energy Receiving Pellets and True Replenishing Pellets; a pellet more potent than the Energy Receiving Pellet. Lastly, there were more than 400 Golden Spirit Pellets. Wei Suo beamed with joy as he overlook the Golden Spirit Pellets that he almost couldn’t afford previously.

By reckless counting, all these totaled up to minimally 20,000 low grade spiritual stones.

With this, it was already 160,000 low grade spiritual stones.

The Scarletwing Flame Devil corpse and its Demonic Dan-pellet remained, alongside a heap of spirit medicines.

The value of most of the objects here, were simply impossible for spiritual stones to exchange with.

If one really wished to trade with spiritual stones, the Earthflame Immortal Lotus and 4 stalks of Amethyst Fox rose would exceed a 1,000,000 spiritual stones. This signified that Wei Suo’s trip to Sky Valley, his total fortune, had exceeded a million spiritual stones!
