The mansion was incredibly spacious. With just a glance, no exit or entrance could be seen at all.

“This is the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s treasure vault,” Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, said, “There might not be a lot of things here, but each of them is a masterpiece.”

A hint of pride could be heard in Sun Liang Peng’s voice as he continued to say, “Even the worst King Grade Celestial Weapons in here are purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons nurtured by Celestial Lords... Ordinary King Grade Celestial Weapons nurtured by Celestial Lords aren’t worthy of being kept in our sect’s treasure vault.”

“Are... Are there any Royal Grade Celestial Weapons here?”

Sun Liang Peng seemed to deflate slightly upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s question. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Indeed, the Simplicity Celestial Sect possessed a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, but it was the only one the sect possessed. Nobody but him knew about its existence, and it was in his possession.

Since the founding of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, only the Sect Leaders of the Simplicity Celestial Sect were privy to the existence of the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon in the sect. It was passed down from one sect leader to another. Moreover, the sect leaders were not allowed to use it unless the sect was in dire straits. This was because the Simplicity Celestial Sect would not be able to hold onto the weapon if word of it spread.

Sun Liang Peng inhaled deeply before he said, “No. Royal Grade Celestial Weapons are too rare and precious. How could the Simplicity Celestial Sect possess any? Even if we have one, we would have given it to the Profound Nether Mansion. The Simplicity Celestial Sect is simply not powerful enough to keep a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon.” After he finished saying this, he quickly changed the topic. “Although our sect’s treasure vault doesn’t have a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, it has many valuable items... The other items aren’t any less valuable compared to purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons nurtured by Celestial Lords.”

In fact, Duan Ling Tian had scanned through all the items here as soon as he arrived. Apart from the purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons that were nurtured by Celestial Lords, there were roughly 100 items here. The auras of the three purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons here were similar to his purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons.

There were brocade boxes, Celestial Talismans, Formation compass, and refining materials in the treasure vault. Duan Ling Tian recognized some of the refining materials. Although they were rare, he had no use for them at the moment.

There were roughly a dozen items that Duan Ling Tian did not recognize. Among all the shiny treasures, there was a seemingly ordinary dried twig that caught Duan Ling Tian’s attention.

‘Is this some rare medicinal ingredient that I haven’t seen before?’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly.

All of a sudden, the Chaos Divine Earth’s childish voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. “Boy, you’re really lucky. I didn’t think we’d be able to find the first form of the Clear Heavens Divine Wood in such a place.”

Clear Heavens Divine Wood?! Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing the Chaos Divine Earth’s words. ‘It’s the Five Divine Element’s Clear Heavens Divine Wood?”

The Clear Heavens Divine Wood was one of the Five Divine Elements, similar to the Profound Divine Metal, the Chaos Divine Flame, the Chaos Divine Earth, and the World Cleansing Divine Water.

Duan Ling Tian’s gaze fell on a seemingly ordinary dried twig. “So... T-this is the Clear Heavens Divine Wood?”

Duan Ling Tian was taken aback. He did not expect this seemingly ordinary dried twig was one of the Five Divine Elements, the Clear Heavens Divine Wood.

‘Well, after thinking about it, it’s not that surprising. After all, the three first-form Profound Divine Metals I’d seen were ordinary-looking as well...’

Then, Duan Ling Tian turned to Sun Liang Peng. He pointed at the first-form Clear Heavens Divine Wood and feigned ignorance as he asked, “Sect leader, what’s this? Is it a medicinal ingredient used to refine pills?”

“No.” Sun Liang Peng stepped forward and picked up the ordinary dried twig in his hand. “In the past, the third Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect had accidentally stumbled upon this twig. It’s a rather strange relic. We suspect it contains the law of wood’s Twining Profundity.” After he finished speaking, he sent his Celestial Origin Energy into the Clear Heavens Divine Wood.

Soon after, several vines sprouted on the dried twig. In just a blink of an eye, the vines grew longer and twined themselves around Sun Liang Peng’s arm that was holding it. In the end, it looked as though his arm had become one with the twig.

“Once you withdraw your Celestial Origin Energy from it, it’ll return to its original form.” Sun Liang Peng said as he withdrew his Celestial Origin Energy. Then, the vines disappeared into the twig immediately, reverting to the appearance of an ordinary dried twig one would be able to find under trees.

“Alas, many disciples had studied it over tens of thousands of years, but no one had managed to comprehend the law of wood’s Twining Profundity from it. In fact, even those who had comprehended the Twining Profundity could not use it to improve their comprehension. By that, I mean they can’t improve the Twining Profundity from the rudimentary stage to the initial stage with it,” Sun Liang Peng continued to say. He was afraid Duan Ling Tian was unaware that Duke Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities only allowed one to comprehend profundities to the rudimentary stage so he patiently explained, “To further comprehend profundities to the initial stage, one must have the corresponding Royal Grade Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities. To comprehend them to the mastery stage, one has to have the corresponding Emperor Grade Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“In any case, what we know so far is we can’t comprehend the law of wood’s Twining Profundity from it nor could we use it to improve our comprehension of the Twining Profundity from the rudimentary stage to the initial stage. Perhaps, it’d be of use to improve the profundity from the initial stage to the mastery stage...” Sun Liang Peng was subtly trying to convince Duan Ling Tian to choose the twig.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Sun Liang Peng knowingly and asked, “Sect leader, do you even believe the words you said?”

Sun Liang Peng smiled in embarrassment when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He knew it was unlikely that the twig in his hand could help one improve the Twining Profundity from the initial stage to the mastery stage. After all, if it was capable of doing that, it should be able to help those who had comprehended the Twining Profundity to the rudimentary to comprehend it to the initial stage.

In the end, Sun Liang Peng awkwardly said, “I was speaking carelessly. It’s likely that it doesn’t have any use and only serves as a collectible. If you want something practical, you should pick something else.” After he finished speaking, he put the twig down.

To Sun Liang Peng’s surprise, Duan Ling Tian reached out to pick up the twig he had just put down. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to still be interested in it.

“You’re right. It might not be a practical item, but it’s still a collectible... It’s perfect. I happen to like collecting unique items. Let this be my first item then.” As Duan Ling Tian spoke, he put the dried twig into his Spatial Ring.

“Duan Ling Tian, you...” Sun Liang Peng only regained his sense after Duan Ling Tian had put the twig away. He asked with a slight frown on his face, “Are you sure?”

The Simplicity Celestial Sect had studied it for tens of thousands of years and still failed to discover its use. Therefore, Sun Liang Peng did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to figure out its use as well. In order to leave a good impression on Duan Ling Tian, he gently reminded, “It doesn’t actually have any practical uses.”

“Don’t worry, I have thought through it... I’ll just take it since I haven’t seen anything else I like,” Duan Ling Tian said as he moved to look at the other items in the treasure vault.

Duan Ling Tian’s flippant attitude made Sun Liang Peng think Duan Ling Tian was rather capricious.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian looked at two bottles of unknown liquid and asked hopefully, “Chaos Divine Earth, are there any other Five Divine Elements in their first forms here? What about a first-form World Cleansing Divine Water? There are two bottles of unknown liquid here. Could they be the World Cleansing Divine Water?”

“Boy, do you the Five Divine Elements are easily found like radishes in the market?” the Chaos Divine Earth retorted in its childish voice. Based on its words, it was clear the two bottles did not contain the World Cleansing Divine Water.

“Sect leader, what’s inside these bottles?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he pointed at the two bottles. Although he knew they did not contain the World Cleansing Divine Water, his interest was still piqued. After all, they must be valuable since they were kept in the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s treasure vault.
