The second treasure chest is even more precious than the first?
Xu Ping’an felt a hint of anticipation.
The first treasure had already been a pleasant surprise; with that Sword Array, it was as if he had gained an ace up his sleeve, an additional means to protect his life.
He wondered what could possibly be inside the second treasure chest.
Xu Ping’an gently opened the chest, and the contents made his expression one of shock.
"What kind of Divine Artifact is this?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.
Inside the chest lay a piece of clothing that seemed to be made from a very special material, as if it merged with the space around it.
"This garment is known as the Spatial Invisibility Garment, a Heavenly Divine Artifact. Wearing it, you can completely merge with space, making it impossible for even Divine Level beings to detect your presence, and even some with weaker Divine Sense among the Heavenly Divine Level beings would find it difficult to notice you," Wu Daozi said.
A look of amazement spread across Xu Ping’an’s face.
He was somewhat familiar with Heavenly Divine Artifacts— they were treasures a grade above ordinary Divine Artifacts.
Such treasures were more powerful and more mystical.
Yet, he hadn’t expected to encounter a Heavenly Divine Artifact.
With the Spatial Invisibility Garment, he might even have a chance to escape from Divine Level beings.
Moreover, having mastered the Spatial Law, his utilization of space had become much stronger.
Indeed, this was a treasure even more precious than the Sword Array.
"The most precious is the last treasure chest. Open it and see for yourself," Wu Daozi continued.
Xu Ping’an approached the third chest and opened it.
Inside was a sword—a Sharp Sword that was incredibly sharp, the mere sight of it made Xu Ping’an feel a stabbing pain as if his eyes were about to be blinded.

Grasping the Sharp Sword, Xu Ping’an found it incredibly light. With a gentle swing, it actually sliced through space.
"What a sharp sword! High Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact Battle Armor would be like thin paper before this Divine Sword," Xu Ping’an exclaimed in surprise.
"This is a Superior Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, the Divine Sword, which I personally crafted in my earlier years. It is absolutely sharp; it can easily cut through not only Superior Grade Divine Armor but even High Grade Heavenly Divine Battle Armor," Wu Daozi said proudly.
Xu Ping’an was surprised. The Divine Sword was a Superior Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact. With this sword, his attack power would climb significantly.
"How about that? I’ve given you three welcoming gifts. In the future, every time you rise three levels, I will give you three treasures, and each time the treasures will be of a higher grade," Wu Daozi said.
Xu Ping’an nodded. It seemed the inheritance of the Artifact Divine Sect was much richer than he had imagined.
Just the Cang Mountain Realm alone was a treasure of immense value.
"By the way, senior, I have a Divine Sword but I don’t know what level it is. Could you take a look for me?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.
"Of course, there is no one in this world more knowledgeable about weapons than me," Wu Daozi said.
Xu Ping’an nodded and took out the Thunder Devouring Sword.
At first, Wu Daozi didn’t show much concern but his expression turned to one of immense surprise as soon as he saw the Thunder Devouring Sword.
"How do you have this sword?" Wu Daozi asked in astonishment.
"Senior, you recognize this sword?" Xu Ping’an inquired curiously.
It seemed Wu Daozi knew the origin of the sword.
If he knew the origin of the sword, Xu Ping’an might also find the reason he had been reborn.
"I recognize it, but only from what I’ve heard. This sword was originally the companion sword of an incomparably powerful entity. But after that entity fell, the sword disappeared as well. Many have been searching for it. I never thought it would appear in the Lower Realm," Wu Daozi said with a sigh.
"A powerful entity, what kind of entity?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.
"Very strong, an existence that could stand equal to the heavens. In any case, do not recklessly reveal this sword, or your life will not be safe," Wu Daozi said with a grave tone.
Xu Ping’an nodded, now aware of the terrifying background of the sword.
It seemed the Thunder Devouring Sword could not be carelessly revealed and should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
"By the way, senior, do you know what this is?" Xu Ping’an took out his storage item, a piece of red copper.
Wu Daozi’s pupils shrank suddenly and his hands trembled.
"You even have this thing, heavens, what kind of descendant have I found?" Wu Daozi said with a face full of shock.
"Senior, what is the origin of this red copper? I use it as my storage item, and it’s said that if I can collect the other fragments, it can unleash even greater power," Xu Ping’an said.
"This item is incredibly precious, not man-made but a Chaotic Treasure forged by nature itself. Later on, it was shattered by an incomparably powerful entity, but even just a fragment contains immense power. The fact that you have both that sword and this red copper suggests you are a person intended to face the tribulations of this era," Wu Daozi said feelingly.
"A person intended to face the tribulations?" Xu Ping’an asked, puzzled.
"I’m not exactly sure myself, but it’s said to be related to a great catastrophe of heaven and earth. You’re aware of the Defying Heaven Alliance and the Human Dao Alliance, right? They arose because of that catastrophe, though I’m not clear on the specifics," Wu Daozi explained.
Xu Ping’an fell silent.
A great catastrophe of heaven and earth, and he was a person intended to face the tribulations?
Why had he been chosen for this role, and who was orchestrating these events behind the scenes?
"Senior, do you know about the Heaven-Penetrating Mirror?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.
"You don’t have that thing too, do you?" Wu Daozi’s eyes widened as he looked at Xu Ping’an again.
"I have a fragment, but it’s not complete," Xu Ping’an replied.
Wu Daozi was momentarily speechless.
"Exactly how many have set their sights on you?" Wu Daozi said with a face full of incredulity.
"What do you mean, senior?" Xu Ping’an asked, even more puzzled.
"The Heaven-Penetrating Mirror may not be as high-grade as your other treasures, but it’s also a treasured item. Those who possess such weapons do so because of karmic ties, meaning you’ve come into contact with the original owners of these treasures, indicating they have intentionally chosen you as a protégé," Wu Daozi explained.
Xu Ping’an understood.
That’s how it was.
"So the fragment holders are all being tested by him? And in the end, he’ll pick one?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.
"Correct, though it might not necessarily be just one. Some may choose two or three successors as well," Wu Daozi said.
Xu Ping’an nodded.
"The karmic ties you’ve attracted are too numerous, and it’s uncertain whether they will lead to fortune or disaster," Wu Daozi said.
"Whether it’s fortune or disaster, I’ll face it head-on. I am my own person, and no one will control me, not even those who play the game from behind-the-scenes," Xu Ping’an said with a cold gaze.
Upon hearing this, Wu Daozi was taken aback, not expecting the youth to possess such determination.
