The first treasure is naturally the relic of the Buddha Emperor.
The relic contains all the power of the Buddha Emperor and the Golden Dragon. It can be refined and absorbed to inherit the supreme holy way of the two great saints. It can also be used as an offensive weapon to explode with unparalleled power, just like a giant
Holy artifact.
Before Jin Long died, he set four layers of seals on the relic, and Zhang Ruochen had already unlocked the outer three layers. He only needed to unlock the last layer, and the power of the relic would be fully released.
Zhang Ruochen has always planned to break through to the Holy Realm, unlock the last layer of seals on the relics, and absorb the power of the Buddha Emperor and the Golden Dragon, so that he can maintain a super fast cultivation speed in the Holy Realm, which will not take several years.
It may even take decades to break through a realm.
At this stage, Zhang Ruochen has dozens of holy medicines and a holy dragon ball in his possession, which can fully support him to break through to the realm of a middle-level saint without absorbing the Buddhist energy and dragon energy in the relics.
Another treasure has something special about it. Even Zhang Ruochen is not sure whether it is a great sage ancient artifact or a divine artifact.
Zhang Ruochen took it out from the space ring and placed it on the deck with a bang.
It was a three-foot-tall ancient bronze tripod with four legs and two ears. It weighed 840,000 kilograms. Its entire body was covered with copper rust. Under the copper rust, there were indistinct ancient characters printed on it.
"Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron."
Zhang Ruochen stood under the copper tripod, stretched out his palm and touched the rusty feet of the tripod. He could feel a simple charm emanating from the tripod.
The Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron is the ancestral weapon of the Shengming Central Empire. It will be used to worship ancestors, gods, and heaven and earth. It carries the national destiny of the empire.
After the destruction of the Shengming Central Empire, the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron was also lost and was later acquired by the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect. Zhang Ruochen bought the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron at the Zhuguang Pavilion auction house under the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect.
In the eyes of outsiders, although the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron is the ancestral weapon of the Shengming Central Empire, it has more of a symbolic meaning and is not a powerful sacred weapon.
Some saints from the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect also spent a lot of energy studying the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, but found nothing. They all believed that it was just a bronze vessel made of special material.
"As the ancestral vessel of the Shengming Central Empire, is it really just a bronze vessel?"
Zhang Ruochen didn't believe it, the holy energy in his body circulated rapidly, and then he struck out with a palm.
"Buzz."
The Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron made a loud sound like a Buddhist bell being struck, flew out, and hit a silver wall on the ancient ship of the undead.
You know, with Zhang Ruochen's current strength, if he hits it with one palm, not to mention a copper tripod, even a copper mountain will be dented.
However, the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron has not deformed at all. Only a layer of rust on the surface has fallen off, making the writing on the cauldron a little clearer.
"It is indeed indestructible, but what kind of material is it made of?"
Zhang Ruochen pressed his palm on the surface of the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron and released his mental power to explore. However, the mental power could not enter the bronze at all and bounced back.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ruochen released his holy energy again and tried to activate the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, but there was no response at all.
"The Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron has gone through all the sacrificial ceremonies since the founding of the Shengming Central Empire. Even if it is just an ordinary bronze vessel, it should be stained with the power of sacrificial rituals. How is it possible that there is no power fluctuation at all?"
Eight hundred years ago, Emperor Ming mentioned to Zhang Ruochen more than once that the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron was the ancestral weapon of the Ming Central Empire, which shows its importance.
How could an ordinary piece of bronze, no matter how hard it is, become the ancestral artifact of an empire? How could it be able to carry the national destiny of an empire?
Zhang Ruochen's heart moved. He stretched out his right hand and opened his palm. A ball of pure annihilation divine fire appeared in the palm of his hand, emitting a bright cyan brilliance.
"The only way to try it is to use the Pure Fire of Destruction!"
Zhang Ruochen was a little worried that destroying the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron would destroy the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron. Therefore, at the beginning, he only carefully controlled the flames to calcine the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.
You must know that even if the sacred weapon comes into contact with the Divine Fire of Purification, it will melt in a very short period of time.
However, there was no reaction at all when the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron came into contact with the Pure Fire.
Zhang Ruochen felt fierce in his heart, mobilized the Pure Extinguishing Divine Fire, and went all out to burn the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.
Continuously releasing the Divine Fire of Purification naturally consumes a lot of Holy Qi. Even if Zhang Ruochen had four Holy Sources, he gradually felt weak, his legs and arms were shaking, and beads of sweat continued to appear from the pores on his body.
"Even the Divine Fire of Purification can't hurt you. What materials are you made of?"
Zhang Ruochen felt a little discouraged and was about to take back the Divine Fire of Destruction...
"Snapped!"
At this moment, an extremely weak sound came from Ding.
Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised, raised his head and looked up.
I saw a crack on the surface of the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, like a broken eggshell.
From the gaps, wisps of golden brilliance emitted.
Finally there is a change!
Zhang Ruochen was overjoyed and mobilized the little remaining holy energy in his body to shoot out the Divine Fire of Purification and Continue to burn.
"Pap." The crackling sound kept ringing.
There are more and more cracks on the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, and each crack emits a dazzling golden light.
Xiao Hei, Huang Yanchen, Qing Mo, and Ao Xinyan were all alarmed and rushed over one after another. Looking at the mysterious giant cauldron, they could feel a suffocating aura being revived.
"Boom."
The shell on the surface of the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron completely fell off, and a golden light carried a force that was overwhelming and struck Zhang Ruochen first, causing him to fly backwards.
Ao Xinyan and Huang Yanchen used their movement skills almost at the same time, turning into two streams of light, appearing one on the left and one on the right behind Zhang Ruochen, neutralizing the impact, supporting him, and landed on the deck again.
Just now, Zhang Ruochen had almost exhausted the holy energy in his body and was indeed a little weak.
However, his physical body was powerful, and even if he exhausted his holy energy, he was still a first-class strong man. He soon regained his breath, and the feeling of weakness disappeared.
"Is this the original appearance of the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron?"
The huge cauldron in front of me is still made of bronze, but there is no rust at all. Instead, it looks like blue jade, crystal clear.
On the surface of the bronze tripod, golden ancient inscriptions are protruding, and they are so densely packed that it is impossible to count them.
Those golden ancient texts seemed to be inlaid on the copper tripod, and they seemed to be integrated with the bronze tripod. The power fluctuations emitted by each word were very powerful.
"For tens of thousands of years, the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron has been used only for sacrifices. It is estimated that few people know that the inside of the outer shell is its true body."
Zhang Ruochen felt amazed and walked towards the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron step by step.
It's just a layer of outer shell, but it's indestructible. It can only fall off using the Pure Extinguishing Divine Fire. It's hard to imagine how incredible the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron's body is?
"This bronze tripod is an extraordinary weapon at first glance. I will help you test its power first."
With a whoosh, Xiao Hei rushed out first and came to the bottom of the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.
Its two claws pressed against the cauldron, continuously injecting holy energy into it.
Immediately, the golden light emitted from the golden ancient inscriptions on the tripod became brighter.
Xiao Hei tried to activate the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, but the body of the cauldron did not move at all, without any change.
"What do you mean? You have obviously absorbed the emperor's holy energy, but there is no reaction at all."
Xiao Hei was very unconvinced and continued to mobilize the holy energy and penetrated the Jinding. However, the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron was not under its control at all. He was so tired that his tongue was on the ground, and Xiao Hei had to give up.
"This bronze tripod has some evil qualities. It only absorbs holy energy and has no practical value at all." Xiao Hei said angrily.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Yanchen, Qing Mo, and Ao Xinyan also tried it one after another. Without exception, they all came to the same conclusion as Xiao Hei.
Just when they were trying to control the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, the holy energy in Zhang Ruochen's body had been fully restored.
"Such a magical bronze tripod shouldn't be unable to exert any power. I'll give it a try."
Zhang Ruochen came to the bottom of the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron, narrowed his eyes, and looked thoughtful.
Since it is the ancestral weapon of the Shengming Central Empire, it must be related to the ancestors of the royal Zhang family. It is not certain. Only the blood of the descendants of the Zhang family can unlock the power of the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.
Although Zhang Ruochen is a direct descendant of the Zhang family, his current body is not the same as before. Even if the blood is released, it will have no effect.
Of course, there is another possibility. Using special skills and holy energy, it is also possible to activate the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.
For example, the Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra.
Zhang Ruochen has always been curious about why only the Ming Emperors of each generation can practice the "Nine Heavens of Ming Emperor Sutra"?
If more talented descendants are selected from the royal family and practice the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", wouldn't the royal family become more powerful?
Just like the "Qing Zhao Divine Art" practiced by Qing Emperor and Chi Yao, there is no limit. Only the next Qing Emperor can practice it.
Xiao Hei stood behind and said: "Don't try it, it's of no use at all. It's just a decoration. It looks very powerful, but in fact it has no power at all."
“Give it a try!”
Zhang Ruochen used the seventh-level technique of the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", and the holy energy from the Ming King's Holy Source surged out, running wildly in the meridians and holy veins, rushing out from his palm and into the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron.
"Wow——"
The words on the Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron became extremely bright, and were still beating gently.
"Huh."
Xiao Hei let out a sigh, his eyes almost falling out of his sockets. Could Zhang Ruochen be able to control that bronze tripod?
The Kaiyuan Deer Cauldron slowly flew up and floated to a height of several hundred feet. Golden characters flew out one by one, rotating around the ancient bronze cauldron like stars in the sky.
Between the golden words all over the sky, wisps of golden mist flowed, converging into the figure of a giant, and the aura it exuded was somewhat similar to Zhang Ruochen's Holy Image of the Immovable King.
However, the aura intensity of the giant figure was countless times stronger than Zhang Ruochen's Immovable Ming King Holy Appearance.
The golden light spreads very far and can be seen even from thousands of miles away.
The Blood Saint of the Undead Vampire Race stood on the bow of an ancient undead ship, looking at the golden sky in the distance, and could all feel an extremely powerful wave of holy power.
The two eyebrows of the Immortal Goddess raised slightly, and she said solemnly: "Such a powerful aura, could it be that some amazing magic weapon has been born?"
Prince Motian said: "Based on the sailing speed of the ancient undead ship, the location where the golden light came out should be near the silver undead ancient ship. Even if a magical weapon is born, it will probably be cheaper for Zhang Ruochen."
Next to the Demonic Prince, a Blood Saint sneered disdainfully: "So what if we let him go? With his cultivation level, he can't keep the treasure at all. In the end, that magical weapon will belong to our undead blood clan."
