This was a rare treasure. As long as one had enough time and used plenty of fresh blood and baleful energy to nurture it, the power of the Seven Kill Command would continuously increase, eventually reaching a terrifying level. To some extent, it could even serve as the foundation of a faction, able to annihilate powerful enemies at critical moments and save an entire force from destruction. However, its only flaw was that it required time to cultivate.Without sufficient time, its strength would be extremely limited and far from enough to deter all threats.Especially now, when everyone lived on the edge of survival, facing death at any moment, with ferocious beasts and monsters appearing endlessly. In such circumstances, although this item might become extremely valuable in the future, right now, it seemed almost useless — a chicken rib, so to speak. Of course, it depended on each individual's needs and vision.Many people's eyes lit up at the sight of the Seven Kill Command. It was indeed a treasure — a hidden trump card that could save one's life at a critical moment.However, this Seven Kill Command clearly failed to impress the Western cultivator. Shaking his head, he declined, "Although the Seven Kill Command is good, it's not what I want."
"What do you want, then? I also have a method for constructing a spell called Bone Dragon Summoning Art. If you're willing, I'll trade it with you. If not, I don't have anything else to offer," Wang Mang said after a moment of hesitation.In the end, the Western cultivator still shook his head and refused. Wang Mang could only look helplessly at the magic tower.
"I have a magic scroll containing the spell Frozen Thousand Miles. Once activated, it can instantly freeze a thousand-mile area. I want to exchange it for that magic tower," another Western cultivator offered.
Since Wang Mang was unable to complete the transaction, others were now allowed to make their own offers for the treasure. As long as an agreement was reached, the transaction could proceed immediately.This process made things far easier for everyone. Many faces showed genuine smiles — this kind of mutually beneficial trading was a great thing.
Xiàng Yǔ (Xiang Yu) also stepped forward."I have a leaf from the Tree of Life. It contains powerful life force, enough to revive the dead and regenerate flesh and bone. As long as there's even a sliver of life left, it can fully heal someone. It's an incredible life-saving treasure."
For those establishing villages and settlements, defensive treasures like a magic tower were invaluable. A magic tower could serve as a cornerstone of defense, ensuring the safety of the people and saving military strength. Xiang Yu himself had built a village, so he naturally wanted the magic tower to protect it.
Hearing this, the cultivator's eyes lit up — the Tree of Life Leaf was a rare and priceless treasure.
"I can offer a magic robe — a treasure-level embryonic robe. If you're willing, we can trade right now," Yi Tianxing added.Although Yi Tianxing had thousands of treasures, many were either unusable for him or not suited to his needs. This magic robe, for instance, wasn't useful to him personally. Trading an unused treasure for something he needed — this was true trading.
"A magic robe? Good, I'll trade."The Western cultivator, being a mage, was still wearing an ordinary magic robe. Now, hearing there was a treasure-grade robe available, he was immediately moved and agreed without hesitation.Yi Tianxing swiftly produced the robe and handed it over, receiving the magic tower in exchange.It was definitely a great acquisition.
...
Afterward, one cultivator after another spoke up to make trades.Many deals were completed quickly. This method of mutually beneficial exchange greatly pleased everyone, with genuine smiles appearing all around.
Before long, it was Yi Tianxing's turn.
"Fellow Daoists, as you know, every cultivator, when given the opportunity, will craft a lifebound treasure. The best materials for such a treasure are naturally rare treasures born of heaven and earth. Therefore, I'm looking for a top-tier rare treasure to serve as the embryo of my lifebound artifact — ideally a cauldron, tower, bell, or mirror. If anyone has one, I'm willing to trade valuable treasures in exchange."
Yi Tianxing spoke slowly and clearly.
This time, he was seeking the core of his future lifebound treasure.While the bronze war spear he possessed could serve as a personal weapon, the lifebound treasure was even more important — it was tied directly to his life.Crafting too many lifebound treasures would make it extremely difficult to fully refine any of them, weakening one's overall strength rather than enhancing it.Thus, most people would only refine one, or at most two, lifebound artifacts.Yi Tianxing wanted a treasure that could grow with him — a Dao-Proving Treasure.
Among all types of treasures, cauldrons, bells, towers, and mirrors were the best for encapsulating the profound truths of heaven and earth, naturally making them the most powerful.
Although he had many treasures, none truly met his expectations.Here, however, with the elites of the Eternal Continent gathered, their possessions were bound to be extraordinary. Perhaps he could find the perfect treasure for his needs.
Hearing his request, the surrounding cultivators' eyes glinted sharply, but most remained silent.Top-tier rare treasures were so valuable that no one would easily part with them.
"I have an altar, a rare treasure born of heaven and earth. It carries no restrictive prohibitions but contains Primordial Divine Restrictions, like a blank canvas onto which you can inscribe your own ideas and evolve unique defenses. Its potential is tremendous — it could definitely become a lifebound artifact," Xiang Yu was the first to speak, taking out a luminous altar of white jade radiating a mysterious glow.
"If refined, it would surely become a mighty treasure."
"I have an ancient mirror. I don't know if you're interested," said another cultivator.
"I have a treasure basin, also a rare treasure," said a young man.
...
Those who possessed rare treasures quickly revealed them.Suddenly, a mocking voice sounded:
"Yi Tianxing, I have a rare treasure too — if you dare to take it!"
The speaker was none other than Arthur, now in a wretched state after being mauled by the Green Emperor.Although the tournament had ended just in time to save his life, his body was covered in wounds, and even his once-glorious golden hair looked chewed-up and ragged.He had utterly lost all his former grace and dignity.
After being attacked by the Green Emperor, it was inevitable that Arthur would harbor resentment toward Yi Tianxing, the dog's master.
Seeing Arthur still alive, Yi Tianxing couldn't help but admire his tenacity — surviving both brutal fights and the Green Emperor's "love bites" wasn't easy. Curious, he asked calmly:
"I wonder what treasure you're offering? If it suits me, I'm willing to trade."
Arthur sneered and produced a treasure shimmering with light — something that resembled an altar but was entirely crystal-clear.
"A tower foundation?" Yi Tianxing scanned it carefully and inhaled deeply, exhaling slowly.
"Indeed, you have a good eye. This is a tower foundation — but not an incomplete one. It's a complete rare treasure. Its special trait: it requires embedding rare treasures into its foundation to build new floors. Each rare treasure added forms a new floor.Do you dare accept it?" Arthur said provocatively.
The surrounding cultivators were stunned —This tower foundation was extremely mysterious. Building it required feeding it other treasures. It felt almost sacrificial in nature, its secrets unfathomable.
It was undoubtedly powerful but also deeply enigmatic.
"What do you want?" Yi Tianxing asked directly.
"I want nothing," Arthur said, a strange smile on his lips. "I just want you to immediately refine it into your lifebound treasure, here and now. Then it's yours — no strings attached."
