Though thirty God-Demon Seeds might seem like a lot, once transplanted into Great Yi, they'd barely feel sufficient. No matter how many seeds there were, they only served to create more top-tier treasures—but even so, their value in raising the overall strength of Great Yi was massive. The benefits they could bring were immense.
The God-Demon Battlefield would not last forever, and Yi Tianxing had no intention of wasting these seeds here.
At this moment, the Secret Casket Treasure Tree had already grown full. Its branches were packed with mysterious jade caskets—possibly thousands, hanging in clusters and swaying gently, exuding a strange allure.
Most were single-colored, but some had two, three, or even four colors. So far, no five-colored caskets had appeared. Clearly, their internal treasures were still maturing. But so long as they weren't picked, the caskets would continue to evolve in quality over time:
Single-color → Dual-color → Triple-color... even up to Nine-color.
And a Nine-colored casket could theoretically even contain a Innate Spirit Treasure, or perhaps…
…a divine fetal body.
Everything was possible.
"Let's see what's inside these caskets," Yi Tianxing said, eyes glinting.
Having recently eaten the Heaven-Fortune Peach, his Fortune, Official, and Lifespan were at an all-time peak. There might never be a better time to test his luck.
Without hesitation, he plucked:
One single-colored casket
One dual-colored casket
One triple-colored casket
Crack!!
The mystic inscriptions on each casket prevented any form of divination—no eye technique or divine sense could pierce their secrets. They were pure mystery until opened.
But opening them was simple once intent was locked.
First, he opened the single-colored casket.
A clear sound rang out. White light bloomed, laced with profound Daoist aura, stirring the soul.
"Congratulations, Master! You've acquired a blueprint from the single-colored casket."
Little Mi beamed.
Inside was indeed a blueprint, filled with cryptic schematics.
"Construct Diagram for the Bloodblade War Puppet."
A battle automaton, heavily based on mechanical arts. Its core required a Puppet Heart imbued with a puppet soul to drive it—fearless, relentless, and utterly ruthless.
"To forge this Bloodblade War Puppet, one needs Blood-Marked Bronze—a rare and powerful material."
Yi Tianxing nodded in approval.
Fully assembled, this puppet's combat power would reach Tier 3, comparable to a Life Map Realm cultivator, possibly even Tier 4, capable of fighting Dharma Image Realm experts.
"This will give Gongshu Lin and his team something to do later."
From a single-colored casket, drawing something this valuable was a sign of tremendous luck—likely a result of the Heavenly Fortune Peach.
Next, he opened the dual-colored casket.
Crack!!
Black and white lights swirled. A magical artifact appeared.
"It's a Nine-Palace Cold Jade Furnace—a high-grade magic treasure!"
Little Mi's eyes sparkled.
This alchemical furnace could rapidly cool elixirs during refining, stabilizing pill formation, increasing success rates and yields—a priceless tool for any alchemist.
"This is on par with the puppet blueprint in value," she added.
Yi Tianxing calmly stored it away, clearly pleased.
"Let's see what surprise the triple-colored casket holds."
Taking a breath, he opened the final casket.
Whoosh!!
Three-colored divine light flashed—and a gemstone emerged.
"That's a Heavenly Wonder—the Five-Colored Spirit Jade!"
Little Mi's voice trembled slightly.
Yi Tianxing frowned.
"A wonder?" he asked, picking up the unassuming gem. It looked like an ordinary jade block—no glow, no aura. Smooth, slightly cold to the touch.
But this was indeed a Heavenly Wonder (奇物).
Heavenly Wonders were not spiritual treasures—they were miracles born from rare, anomalous phenomena. Neither of the Three Realms, nor bound to Five Elements.
"They can be sacrificed for immense benefit. Each one contains some form of primordial fortune."
Yi Tianxing recalled seeing such things recorded in the Book of Truth during his time with the Earth Gnomes.
Most importantly, Heavenly Wonders can be used to forge a Dao Altar, required for breaking into the Dao Platform Realm.
Without a Heavenly Wonder, one's altar would be naturally inferior. Only Great Divine Powers had the means to utilize them early, and Yi Tianxing was not yet at that level.
Still, hoarding them now could only be wise.
"Heavenly Wonders—priceless beyond belief. Even money can't buy them.Might as well start collecting early."
The Five-Colored Spirit Jade was surprisingly large—about the size of a human head, cold and dense in his palm.
Yi Tianxing tucked it away with the others.
Satisfied, he glanced around the Immortal Garden once more.
"This place will be perfect for hosting a Longevity Peach Banquet soon."
Back outside, time flowed quietly.
Each night, waves of Eternal Night armies continued to storm their defenses.
Each day, silence returned—giving strong cultivators the chance to hunt or scout.
Especially in White Crow City, where human forces scoured nearby regions for enslaved Eternal Night humans, subduing and purifying them. Every successful mission was followed by transactions with neighboring War Cities.
Yi Tianxing's forces would appear, and soon the allied cities would discover—
Tens of thousands, even millions of elite human soldiers had joined them.
All purified.
All loyal.
When night fell again, the human army's strength had skyrocketed. They repelled Eternal Night forces with increasing ease.
The name Yi Tianxing and that of White Crow City began to spread rapidly.
"The Rainbringer."
"Humanity's Hope."
"The Pillar of the People."
"The Most Reliable Ally."
These titles were whispered and shouted in every corner.
And the secret—Yi Tianxing could purify enslaved Eternal Night humans—was no longer a secret. He allowed the truth to spread.
"Otherwise, if I trade soldiers without explanation, they'll think I'm a slaver."
Instead, this was framed as a righteous act, enhancing the strength of all humanity.
No one resisted the offer. In fact, they wanted more.
No one knew exactly how many people he could purify—and no one dared to ask. It was enough that the benefit was real. Asking for more was stepping out of line.
Several days passed.
It had now been over seven days since Zhuang Zhou's departure.
Yi Tianxing had just emerged from meditation when a sudden glow lit up his palm—the invitation token Zhuang Zhou had left behind began to shine with divine light, the runes inscribed upon it coming to life.
"The gathering... it's finally happening."
Yi Tianxing's anticipation spiked.
Without hesitation, he channeled true essence into the token.
Whoosh!!
The token leapt into the air, transformed into a stream of divine light, and opened a teleportation gate in the void before him.
Without pause, Yi Tianxing stood up and stepped in.
He had already informed his companions of this event in advance—so there was nothing to worry about.
