Chapter 54: Stumbling Upon Supreme Treasures While Walking, Achieving Enlightenment While Sleeping

"This disciple understands. Problems that can be solved by killing should be resolved directly through killing, but killing is not the only means. Sometimes, it is better to make the opponent submit and drain them of all their value."

Ye Chen nodded, instantly grasping his master's meaning.

"Not bad, the child is truly teachable!"

Li Tianyuan nodded in approval. "All in all, having formidable strength is the hard truth, and having hard fists is what we call capital."

"This disciple will strictly follow Master's teachings!" Ye Chen cupped his fists once more.

Li Tianyuan patted Ye Chen's shoulder and said with a hearty smile, "Alright, let's continue our journey. We'll head to Lin'an City first so you can bid farewell to your family and friends, and then we will return to the soaring Firmament Sacred Land."

With that, he prepared to take Ye Chen and fly away through the air.

However, at that very moment, Li Tianyuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He noticed that atop a peak not far ahead, a succession of auspicious vapors was rising, and multicolored celestial lights permeated the surroundings, making the entire mountain range look wondrous and breathtaking.

Especially at the very summit, where the radiant lights surged to the heavens and an intoxicating, exotic fragrance drifted through the air, leaving one entranced.

"Master, what is happening over there?"

At this moment, Ye Chen also noticed the commotion on the peak and asked with unavoidable curiosity.

"Hmm... It seems a treasure has manifested in the world."

Li Tianyuan stopped and pointed toward the direction where the glowing lights were gushing forth. "Come, follow me to take a look."

With that, he grabbed Ye Chen and swiftly dashed toward the mountain peak.

Since there were celestial lights erupting, there had to be serendipity and fortune. Since they happened to cross paths with it, they naturally had to check it out!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~

The two of them moved at an extreme speed, arriving at the summit within a few breaths and landing amidst the radiant glow.

Li Tianyuan looked up and discovered that the source of the glowing lights was actually an unknown ancient tree.

The ancient tree seemed to have been nourished by some sort of celestial fortune of heaven and earth, bearing over a hundred golden fruits that sparkled dazzlingly like stars in the night sky.

Every single fruit flickered with a seven-colored radiance, as dazzling as beads polished from crystal, and emitted a seductive fragrance that made one's mouth water!

"Seven-Awe Xuan Spirit Fruit, Seven-Orifice Exquisite Fruit, Heavenly Spirit Divine Fruit, Nine-Sun Divine Fruit..."

Looking at the hundreds of fruits suspended in mid-air, Li Tianyuan's eyes shone brightly, and he almost started drooling.

The Seven-Awe Xuan Spirit Fruit, Seven-Orifice Exquisite Fruit, Heavenly Spirit Divine Fruit, and Nine-Sun Divine Fruit were all supreme, rare spiritual fruits seldom seen in this world.

Furthermore, their functions and effects varied: some could increase cultivation, some could strengthen divine sense, some could cleanse the marrow and transform the bones, and others could temper the physical body and condense vital blood...

In short, their effects differed, but the benefits they could bring to a cultivator were immense.

"Tsk tsk, disciple, it seems our fortune has arrived, to actually encounter such precious spiritual fruits coming into the world."

Li Tianyuan was endlessly astonished; he had never expected to encounter such a rare and peerless treasure.

At this moment, Ye Chen was likewise filled with shock. "Goodness gracious, could this be the serendipity of the Immortal Dao Era?"

It was rumored that with the arrival of the Immortal Dao Era, fortunes would be endless and serendipities would erupt!

Now he had truly witnessed it; the rumors were indeed not false. They could encounter top-tier heavenly treasures simply by passing by a random place.

"Disciple, don't just stand there in a daze. Hurry up and harvest these spiritual fruits!" Li Tianyuan said impatiently.

With that, he leaped up, flew onto the ancient tree, and began picking the spiritual fruits.

Seeing this, Ye Chen quickly swung into action as well.

The two of them moved swiftly, pocketing all the spiritual fruits in the blink of an eye.

As the spiritual fruits were completely harvested, the ancient tree seemed to have been drained of all its essence and withered away in an instant.

For every life born, another must fall!

Li Tianyuan knew that the fortune of heaven and earth had plundered all of the tree's vital energy, causing the ancient tree to die and wither.

Otherwise, this unknown ancient tree could never have borne so many spiritual fruits with such diverse and wondrous uses.

He paid no further mind to that and carefully stored the harvested spiritual fruits in jade boxes imbued with spiritual energy.

Having done all this, Li Tianyuan was just about to take out a spiritual fruit to taste when he suddenly heard Ye Chen shout loudly.

"Master, it seems another treasure has manifested over there!"

Ye Chen pointed forward, looking rather excited!

Li Tianyuan followed the direction of Ye Chen's finger and indeed discovered that on a mountain peak not far away, celestial lights were flashing once more.

Without a moment of hesitation, he immediately executed his movement technique and sprinted forward, arriving at the mountaintop in the blink of an eye.

There, amidst the radiant glow, a mirror and a pair of gauntlets were floating in the void.

The mirror was entirely silver-white, surrounded by pale blue mists. These mists were ethereal and illusory, resembling a sea of clouds.

As for the other item, the pair of gauntlets was completely pitch-black, with numerous intricate runes engraved on their surface, exuding a breathtaking and terrifying aura of oppression.

"Master, those look like two immortal artifacts!"

Seeing the two objects in the void, Ye Chen's eyes widened and he could not help but swallow hard.

"Indeed, they should be immortal artifact treasures. Our luck is quite good!"

Li Tianyuan nodded. Although he had not inspected them closely, judging from the aura radiating from the two immortal artifacts, they were definitely treasures of the immortal-grade tier.

"Master, we've struck it rich this time!"

Ye Chen was filled with boundless excitement. First encountering spiritual fruits and then seeing immortal artifacts—could they be any luckier?

However, he also had a clear understanding of himself and knew his own luck best.

Walking and stumbling upon supreme treasures, or sleeping and achieving sudden enlightenment—those things basically had nothing to do with him.

The only reason they could keep running into supreme treasures along the way was undoubtedly because his master's fortune was at work.

Li Tianyuan smiled without speaking, his gaze fixed on the two immortal artifact treasures.

Then, with a wave of his large hand, he grabbed the silver-white mirror and observed it closely.

That mirror was named the Void-Penetrating Immortal Mirror, capable of piercing through illusions and prying into thousands of secrets!

Beyond that, it could project a beam of void-penetrating light capable of shattering space, and its power was quite extraordinary!

As for the gauntlets, they were called the Heaven-Shaking Gauntlets, an offensive magical treasure that could cause the wearer's strength to surge violently, granting them the power to shake the heavens.

"Disciple, these Heaven-Shaking Gauntlets belong to you now. They happen to complement your Big Dipper Divine Fist, allowing you to erupt with even more ferocious combat power!"

Li Tianyuan put away the mirror and handed the Heaven-Shaking Gauntlets to Ye Chen.

"Thank you, Master!"

Ye Chen beamed with joy as he took the Heaven-Shaking Gauntlets and played with them, a look of excitement unmasked in his eyes.

An immortal artifact.

He, Ye Chen, actually managed to possess an immortal artifact—a supreme treasure he could hardly have dared to dream of obtaining.

With such a heaven-defying divine weapon in his possession, his combat power would undoubtedly receive a massive boost!
