Chapter 859: The Treasure-snatching Rock

Zhou Bao didn’t know that Wang Shang was not as knowledgeable as he looked. They were both rookies, rushing to this place without any preparation.

“What exactly is this? How could it suck in treasures?” Right now, Wang Shang was stunned by what he saw. What happened? A spatial fault with fluctuations suddenly became a mysterious space that absorbed magic weapons.

It was normal for him to feel surprised. In this world, everyone was sensitive about such taboo things, which made them envious yet afraid.

“It’s not about the spatial fault, but the thing in it!” Zhou Bao said calmly, “The Rock Cliff Sect seems to have other Heavenly Fairy Weapons besides the Celestial Treasured Wheel!”

Before he even finished speaking, Zhou Bao transformed into a green light and shot into the spatial fault.

“What?” Wang Shang didn’t expect him to take such quick actions. When he realized what had happened, Zhou Bao was already inside the spatial fault. He sighed helplessly, turned into a streamer and went in as well.

“This, this, this, this, this—!”

It was a vast hollow inside the spatial fault. The first floor was already an endless space. However, it was not much of a surprise for Wang Shang. This was the Law of Space. Anyone with a little knowledge of it could open a vast space. The only problem was that this space was far too fragile and was as delicate as a bubble. Some spatial fault was like an empty hollow. That was the most it could be, because with the weight of just one more dust speck, the hollow would collapse. It was a matter of space tolerance.

Space tolerance!!!

It was one of the most basic Laws of Space. The object was to the container what the energy was to the space. Within the space, the Law of Space would convert everything into energy, including practitioners.

Once the energy exceeded the maximum amount for the space, it would be rejected, suppressed and attacked. In some micro worlds, this was called soaring.

Once the energy exceeded the maximum amount, collapse was inevitable.

This was why macro worlds, micro worlds, fairylands and blessed places had different names in order to tell the distinction between them.

A spatial fault like this was not even a micro world. It was a fairyland at most. Normally, a fairyland could only bear the energy of ten Taihao Fairy Weapons. But now, only at the first floor, there were more than ten Taihao Fairy Weapons in front of them. Actually, there were hundreds of them.

Hundreds of Taihao Fairy Weapons were floating about in the hollow.

This was an extremely amazing scene even in the Immortal Realm.

“The Blade of Shadows, the Taixu Sword, the Invisible Needle, the Razor-edged Spear——!” Names of these fairy weapons came out from Wang Shang’s mouth one after another. He seemed to be quite familiar with them and babbled away excitedly.

“Taoist Wang, you really know a lot about the Rock Cliff Sect!”

“Yes, of course. Damn it! Do you know what this place is? Do you know why there are so many fairy weapons? Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”

Wang Shang was overwhelmed by excitement at that moment. It was not excitement, but pure ecstasy. He was like a forty-eight-year-old virgin seeing a naked beauty for the first time.

“The Treasure-snatching Rock! It’s really the Treasure-snatching Rock! The legend is true. The Rock Cliff Sect was attacked by the Celestial Immortals because it had the Treasure-snatching Rock. I always thought it was purely a rumor. But it turned out to be true!”

“The Treasure-snatching Rock?” Zhou Bao was tempted. This was another familiar name. But before he realized it, strange things started happening.

Several radiant lights flashed through Wang Shang’s body, each representing a fairy weapon. These weapons were not to be used for attacks this time but were sucked away into the hollow by some unknown force.

Meanwhile, Zhou Bao’s Sea of Consciousness was trembling. The Supreme Fairy Weapon of the Black Pearl, the Pool of Thunder Tribulation used for suppressing Azure Big World, the Furnace of Immortality on his waist, the red gourd and all the other fairy weapons and magic weapons he collected through the years were drawn to the unknown force and seemed to want to leave him.

Zhou Bao was astonished. He quickly focused his mind and used every effort to resist. However, it was like beating the air. The force was too strong and there was no way to suppress it.

At last, he only managed to keep the Furnace of Immortality, the Black Pearl, the Pool of Thunder Tribulation and the red gourd. The other fairy weapons were all sucked away by the Treasure-snatching Rock into the deep hollow.

“You, you, you, you—!” While Zhou Bao was frustrated, Wang Shang’s face was full of astonishment. He pointed at Zhou Bao as if he was seeing a monster.

He was a monster!

As an Independent Practitioner, Wang Shang was very self-conscious. Compared with other Independent Practitioners in the Immortal Realm, he felt relatively rich as he had a Taihao Fairy Weapon. Sometimes, he even felt superior.

But what did he just see?

It was unbelievable.

The Taoist Bodhi, who claimed to be an Independent Practitioner, had hundreds of lights flashing on him.

Yes, hundreds of lights. These lights represented the fairy weapons and magic weapons under the influence of the Treasure-snatching Rock.

Hundreds of Taihao Fairy Weapons! At that moment, hundreds of Taihao Fairy Weapons were reflected on Zhou Bao’s body. These lights melted into a flood and rushed into the unknown hollow.

Who was he? With so many treasures? Supreme Pure Yang Celestial Devices were not rare in the Immortal Realms. But it was not normal for a single person to own so many of them!

Besides, what could one do with so many celestial devices and fairy weapons? For a practitioner, one or two supreme fairy weapons was enough. Too many of them would not do one any good, unless it was to establish a new sect and the weapons were to be distributed to the disciples.

Was this guy planning to establish a new sect in the Immortal Realm?

Suddenly, he looked at Zhou Bao with different eyes.

“What exactly is the Treasure-snatching Rock? It’s much better than the treasure money and much stronger than the Five-colored Divine Light. What on earth is this object?” Zhou Bao was not in the mood to care about what Wang Shang thought of him. He felt terrible right now. Just like what Wang Shang had guessed, these weapons were promised to the practitioners in Azure Big World a long time ago.

After years of recovery, the Azure Big World had changed into a world no smaller than the Seven-deity Regions at that time. Many people related to Zhou Bao had received weapons from him, with his son and daughter obtaining the most. The strange Treasure-snatching Rock didn’t take away the Black Pearl, but the force permeated into the Azure Big World and took away all the weapons in there. Not a single one was left. Of course, Zhou Bao was mad at this. But what annoyed him more was that even though he managed to retain his four most valuable weapons, they would be affected by the Treasure-snatching Rock so long as he stayed in this hollow. This fact shocked him greatly! What kind of treasure was it? It had the power to affect Heavenly Fairy Weapons! Wang Shang seemed to know something about it.

“Taoist Wang, what exactly is the Treasure-snatching Rock?”

“The Treasure-snatching Rock is just a legend. It is said to be the natal magic weapon of Taoist Jin, the creator of the Immortal Realm, and the king of Heavenly Fairy Weapons. All the other Heavenly Fairy Weapons must submit to it!”

“The king of all Heavenly Fairy Weapons? Ghost Child, is this true?!” Zhou Bao focused his eyes. His divine thoughts immediately showed up and began to communicate with the device spirit of the red gourd.

“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Isn’t there enough trouble! What do you have in mind communicating with me at a time like this! Leave me alone! Go away!”

As soon as his divine thoughts connected, Ghost Child fiercely retracted into the red gourd, as if it had seen a ghost.

“Really impressive!” The moment the Ghost Child retracted its head, Zhou Bao clearly felt the mysterious force. Numerous invisible hands were grasping at the opening of the red gourd and Ghost Child clearly had a narrow escape.

It resisted with all its strength and was in a stalemate with the force.

“The little thing cannot be counted on!” Under this situation, Zhou Bao knew he could get nothing from it, so he turned to Wang Shang and asked, “What do you mean by the king of Heavenly Fairy Weapons?”

“It means the head of all Heavenly Fairy Weapons, the very first one. Even the Supreme Fairy Weapons cannot be compared to it. No! It was unparalleled among fairy weapons, except the three Sacred Cities!”

“The three Sacred Cities? The Sacred City of Origin, Fate and Termination? Haven’t they been destroyed already?”

“That’s right. The three Sacred Cities have been destroyed. So, no weapons could be compared to the Treasure-snatching Rock at present. Whoever gets the Treasure-snatching Rock will have the power to challenge Celestial Immortals!” He spoke with great enthusiasm.

“Do you want to subdue it?”

“It is impossible! Are you out of your mind? How can we have the strength to tame the Treasure-snatching Rock?”
