Chapter 589: Appearance of the Sky Rank Spirit Herbs

The altar appeared both sacred and dignified on the third platfor from its position at the top In the moment that the crowd set foot on the third platform, they felt a wave of an ancient presence wash over them The altar had stood for countless years, its thick sense of desolation instilling an urge in those asserains from the river of time had left nary a hint on the altar Not even a speck of dust adorned its surface It was al it off every day However, everyone present kne iarden opened but once in three thousand years There was no one who could come day after day toclean the altar Nevertheless, no hint of the tile detail out of place

It was as if the countless years had only left behind a feeling of desolation, and nothing else Jiang Chen stood at the rear of the crowd, not a ripple of e in his heart When he’d set foot on the third platform, he’d felt some sort of connection with this presence But when he analyzed it further, he realized that this tenuous unknown connection didn’t seearden, but between the altar and the nameless blade on his back instead!

This discovery left Jiang Chen quite astonished He’d always known that this treasured blade was extraordinary Although he’d used it against enemies, the blade technique of “Vast Ocean Current Splitter” wasn’t really at a high enough level to truly excavate the blade’s potential He’d only tapped into the barest surface of its abilities, but what had puzzled hi Chen had obtained this blade froanizer of the Hidden Dragon Trials Du, Ruhai, had been arrested and his house sealed Princess Gouyu had been present as well, and he’d taken al, just this simple blade And now, he’d unexpectedly discovered a clue about it in this altar

Although this connection was nebulous at best, Jiang Chen was very sensitive and had clearly grasped it “A blade fro Mirage of the Myriad Do Chen couldn’t even begin to extrapolate the answer no ht, but of one point he was certain, and that was that the two had so in common Even if they weren't directly linked, they were certainly indirectly connected As for why the blade had come into the Du clan’s hands and had its shi+ne dulled, obscuring the splendid radiance it should’ve had—this was an ancientChen didn’t outwardly reveal his discovery, but discreetly observed the altar instead There were twelve round pillars to the towering altar, with exceedingly profound, ancient runes carved on each pillar All of theether with the twelve pillars The dome of the altar topped the pillars, with even h quite a sight, no one knehat they meant

This altar looked silance, but that solemn, holy presenceChen took a close look and noted steps made of white jade around the altar, with ripples that shi+mmered in and out of existence around the jade steps

Jiang Chen recognized that to be an exceedingly strong forh the altar had weathered many years, the restrictions had yet to fade This meant to say that the interior of the altar was a forbidden area, not to be ventured into The shi+ Chen was certain that even if Elder Xiang Gan barged in, he would be instantly slaughtered by the for Gan observed the altar’s outskirts for a bit and revealed a hint of a solemn look “Everyone be careful, don’t venture indestroyed by the fornized the value of as staring him in the face Everyone snapped to solemn attention, but they weren’t here for the altar either Although the altar was incolance that it was e of value within Therefore, everyone felt that the altar was just for worshi+p Itin ancient ti to it now for theravely reverent, and bowed respectfully towards the altar “Oh ancient Gods, we are but passersby from the Myriad Do for some sky spirit herbs for the future of the Myriad Do so”

The other elders also cah no one had any idea if there was any use to this ritual, everyone feltso There were bea the four corners around the altar, but in between thelimpse them, the sky rank spirit herbs!

There were three sky rank herbs in each plot of land,of the Tristar Sect instantly heaved a sigh of relief His sect was ranked sixth from the lottery, so if the total number of spirit herbs wasn’t a multiple of six, it would be a loss for his sect But since it had turned out to be so, each great sect would be able to receive two sky rank herbs

But noas Elder Xiang Gan as a bit dejected Since there were twelve herbs, there wasn’t anything extra that his Great Cathedral could skim off If there’d been thirteen, then they would’ve been able to take another one But since it was an even twelve, everyone would receive the same amount However, he wasn’t overly depressed as there were two sky rank herbs earmarked for him He chuckled, “The same rules apply My Great Cathedral chooses first Since there are twelve, each sect will receive two That’s fair”

Elder Wu Hen was one who played his cards close to his chest, but he couldn’t help but feel ht of the sky rank herbs He’d chased after Jiang Chen for so long for just a single sky rank herb, right? But now, there were twelve in front of hi to his sect!

However, there were spirit power forcefields around the spirit herbs, so it would take soe realh it would take a bit of tih the forcefields, it was still a sure bet The only difficult part was to do so without har the spirit herbs Otherwise, they would’ve easily broken through the forcefields through brute force with just a couple blows
