Ding ding ding!!
As soon as the exchange was completed, 120 million merit points naturally vanished from his body, and twelve gemstones appeared out of thin air. Each one was a treasure born of heaven and earth, shimmering with strange divine brilliance. Inside the gems, flawless and immaculate, mysterious Dao patterns flickered constantly, changing endlessly, unfathomably profound. Just looking at them felt like gazing upon the most enigmatic of divine treasures.
"Good stuff. It's said that once the Infinity Gems are gathered, they will possess even more miraculous powers. Well, I'll find out soon enough."
A thought flashed through Yi Tianxing's mind.
According to legend, once all the Infinity Gems were collected, one could reshape heaven and earth, wielding supreme power that could destroy all life with a single thought or create a new world in the blink of an eye. Such power was beyond imagination. Of course, in the Eternal World, it was impossible to wield that level of might—but even so, they were still among the highest tier of treasures.
With these Infinity Gems in hand, they could be turned into combat power in the shortest time possible—definitely a worthwhile deal.
"Show me life-saving, substitute-death type treasures."
Yi Tianxing's next selection was exactly that: treasures that could save his life in the event of fatal danger.
The Void Arena faced Eternal Night's top talents. Anyone who dared step onto that platform couldn't guarantee they'd make it out alive. No matter how confident one was, until the last moment, there was no certainty of survival.
Even the most unremarkable of geniuses might be capable of slaying monstrous-level cultivators.
Cultivation realm never guaranteed actual combat strength.
Once on the arena, ensuring one's own survival was the most important thing. No matter how self-assured, preparations had to be made.
Shua!!
At the mere thought, a list of substitute-death treasures quickly appeared on the screen before him.
Cursed Resentment Doll: A treasure created through mysterious voodoo-like sorcery, capable of absorbing resentment from heaven and earth to grow stronger. Once blood-bound, it can take a fatal blow in place of its master—but after doing so, the master will be afflicted with the doll's curse. This curse pierces the soul, and its consequences are unpredictable.
Disaster Paper Doll: A secret technique from the Paper Master lineage. The doll can ward off disasters on behalf of the owner. The higher the doll's grade, the greater the disaster it can absorb. Once used, it turns to ash and requires integration with the user's essence blood.
Calamity Crossing Immortal Talisman: Can protect its master from disaster, even from lightning tribulation.
…
Treasure after treasure appeared, dazzling and diverse in type. However, many came with drawbacks. Some carried heavy consequences upon use. Others were limited by realm and useless to those with cultivation too high—rendering them, to Yi Tianxing, nothing more than chicken ribs—tasteless to eat, wasteful to discard.
Ultimately, the only usable ones were the Calamity Crossing Immortal Talisman and the Disaster Paper Doll. These substitute-death treasures were not man-made; all were naturally born of heaven and earth. They were one-time-use items. Once triggered, they would vanish completely. They could only save a life once.
As for the Cursed Resentment Doll, its uncertain nature made it a dangerous gamble. Getting entangled with such a curse was no small matter.
Each of these substitute treasures was highly valuable. And clearly, the stock was rapidly depleting—other cultivators were also exchanging for them at high frequency.
Seeing this, Yi Tianxing didn't hesitate and immediately bought one or two of each type. Even if he didn't use them himself, they could be stored in the Great Yi Treasury. Building up the empire's foundation was the priority.
Anyway, he had plenty of merit points, and they were still flowing in continuously.
"Now show me one-time-use divine treasures—the more powerful and effective, the better."
Yi Tianxing issued another command.
After ensuring survival, the next priority was offense. Only by attacking could one overturn a desperate situation—and possibly seize final victory.
Dutian Divine Thunder: Formed from the energy of Dutian's divine fiend force, capable of world-shattering destruction. One strike can obliterate everything.
Primordial Heaven Splitting Thunder: A legendary divine thunder born during the creation of heaven and earth, capable of cleaving chaos and opening the world.
Illusion Demon Pearl: Once activated, it engulfs the surrounding area in endless illusions. Inner demons flourish, sowing chaos in the mind—leading to disaster without warning.
Seven-Star Lamp: When lit, extends the user's life. Forms a protective barrier tied to celestial power. As long as the flame burns, the shield remains. When the flame goes out, the shield vanishes.
Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus: Contains multiple strange flames. Upon detonation, it unleashes a cataclysmic inferno, reducing the surroundings to a sea of fire.
…
One powerful one-time-use divine treasure after another appeared. Each could only be used once, but when activated, the destruction they caused was absolutely terrifying.
"Good stuff—these are all top-tier treasures. If one of these is used unexpectedly on the Void Arena, even a monstrous cultivator might perish."
Yi Tianxing was genuinely amazed.
He had to admit, these one-use treasures were ridiculously powerful.
Of course, their prices were sky-high too. After all, these were items that could directly kill top-tier experts. Whether used for defense or destruction, their effects were extraordinary—so high prices were justified.
Yi Tianxing didn't hesitate—he quickly exchanged for a batch of them.
Even if he didn't need them personally, they would serve as a solid strategic reserve for the Great Yi Empire.
"Now show me rare treasures—items at the Innate Spiritual Treasure level."
Yi Tianxing glanced at his still-sizable merit point balance and began selecting some of the most elite divine items.
Shua!!
As soon as he spoke, the screen shifted again, displaying a dazzling list of peerless treasures. Some of the most precious items he had ever seen appeared before him.
Dragon-Phoenix Twin Rings: Heaven-and-earth treasures containing the true essence of a golden dragon and phoenix. With potential to evolve into Innate Spiritual Treasures. When fused, they manifest auspicious dragon-phoenix resonance.
Blood Chalice of the Sacred: A divine treasure that transforms blood placed within it. Depending on the blood, different effects emerge. At its highest level, blood inside becomes divine blood, akin to top-tier elixirs or potions.
The Sacred Blood Chalice was incredible. At the Yellow Rank, it could purify blood into precious blood; at the Black Rank, it could nurture spirit blood; at the Earth Rank, divine blood. Legend held that at the Heaven Rank, it could create holy blood—possessing unimaginable power.
At the very least, it could rapidly heal injuries, and possibly bring someone back from the brink of death.
Void Insect Nest: A treasure of heaven and earth that attracts Void Mother Insects to inhabit it. Once settled, they can breed Void Spirit Bugs.
One treasure appeared that immediately caught Yi Tianxing's attention.
This insect nest was essentially a divine architectural treasure. It resembled a beehive—but it exuded a powerful allure to Void Mother Insects. The nest contained a substance critical to the growth of Void Bugs, accelerating their development.
Void Bugs were incredibly mystical—a highly specialized insect race.
They thrived in places thick with void energy, especially chaotic regions. Their most famous ability was chewing through weak points in space, opening tunnels that connected two distant locations. These tunnels were called wormholes.
Wormholes, once formed, were generally unstable and would collapse after a time—unless Void Bugs themselves stabilized them. Each bug could stabilize one wormhole. The greatest trait of a wormhole was its ability to cross vast distances instantly.
This made them stronger than teleportation arrays.
Because wormholes could cross entire realms—just like domain gates. In fact, it was said that domain gates were created based on wormholes. Thus, creating domain gates required either Void Bugs—or massive quantities of rare materials to stabilize the structure without them.
"Excellent—what a treasure! If this Void Insect Nest can attract a Void Mother Insect and spawn Void Bugs, then the Great Yi Empire will gain the means to strike into other realms at will. We'll be able to both attack and defend."
Yi Tianxing's heart surged with excitement.
If the Void Insect Nest matured, it would become a strategic-level treasure for Great Yi. It would allow Yi's forces to expand into new realms quickly—and even if their territory grew vast, they could maintain control.
Such a treasure couldn't be missed.
The Void Insect Nest cost 10 million merit points.
Its value was not less than that of the Infinity Gems. But whether it could actually attract a Void Mother Insect remained uncertain—those creatures roamed the endless void, and their appearance could not be predicted.
Still, Yi Tianxing didn't hesitate for a moment—he exchanged for it immediately.
"Filter to show cultivation manuals."
After redeeming a batch of treasures, Yi Tianxing shifted his attention to technique manuals. Manuals meant knowledge, and knowledge meant legacy. A complete inheritance was even more important than divine items—it could produce more strong cultivators.
Instantly, a vast collection of manuals began scrolling onto the screen.
Their prices varied wildly, and they spanned every category: Qi cultivation, body refinement, magic, and more. Yi Tianxing didn't hesitate—anything the Scripture Pavilion didn't have, he redeemed on the spot.
