509  Chapter 256: The Demon-Slaying Inner Armor, Immortal and Demon War_2

That is to say, in this so-called Eternal Rest Immortal City, all cultivators from the Beidou Region who have come this time are gathered.

These cultivators are not to be trifled with. The weakest of them are at the late-stage Golden Core, and not just ordinary ones. The majority are at the Golden Core Peak, comparable to those who rank high on the Daqian Master List. A small portion of them are even half-step Nascent Soul who rank within the top ten on the Master List.

Even more, there are several Nascent Soul true cultivators.

Han Yi was on alert, his figure landing down. Then, he approached the nearest palace complex he had seen earlier.

After about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, he cautiously entered the half-collapsed palace complex. After exploring the outskirts, he gained little but managed to find a few broken spiritual treasures in the ruins. These fragments were made of excellent materials and though they had lost their spirituality over the long years, they could still be used to refine high-grade or even top-grade spiritual treasures when brought back to the Yu Heng World. Alternatively, they could be sold as precious materials.

Han Yi stored the fragments of the spiritual treasures away and cautiously entered the core area of the half-collapsed palace complex. In the core area, the palaces' damage was less severe, and they were mostly well-preserved.

However, the palaces' formations had long been broken, and Han Yi encountered no danger as he ventured in.

Inside the palace, he saw a corpse. The corpse looked like a cultivator, and its robe was of unknown material. Though somewhat damaged, it was still preserved.

This time, the Ancient God Visualization Method did not activate on its own, but Han Yi didn't dare to approach it too closely either. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Scattered beside the corpse were some items, likely the remnants left behind after storage equipment like the Qiankun Ring had been destroyed and burst open.

There was a palm-sized iron piece, a tree branch half the thickness of an arm, and a sword tool that seemed to have only its upper half remaining.

Han Yi's eyes slightly brightened.

Since this sword tool still had its upper half, didn't that prove that it was extraordinary even if it was broken?

Han Yi gently beckoned, trying to summon the three items to him. However, to his surprise, only the half tree branch came to him, while the other two items remained motionless.

Not discouraged, Han Yi's eyes grew brighter as he knew that he had encountered real treasures.

So far, the only thing he had encountered that his divine sense could not move was the ancient corpse in Yuan Lao Mountain.

However, back then, he was still at the Foundation Establishment stage, while now, he had reached the middle Golden Core stage, and his divine sense had grown more than ten times stronger.

Han Yi furrowed his brows, first examining the tree branch and found nothing remarkable about it. However, it managed to withstand the test of time, which meant it should be a spiritual item. He put it into the Qiankun Ring. Then, he unleashed his divine sense, and this time, the remaining two items were slowly 'pulled' toward him.

When the items arrived in front of him, Han Yi picked up the half iron piece first. It was heavy, and he barely managed to lift it using his full physical strength.

The weight of this iron piece was comparable to the ancient corpse in the Qiankun Ring.

Han Yi's divine sense entered the iron piece, only to be suddenly absorbed. He didn't dare to try again but confirmed that this iron piece was a rare treasure, at least a material for refining spiritual treasures, and perhaps even a material for refining half-immortal items or immortal artifacts.

He placed the iron piece into the Qiankun Ring, which was still the one obtained from Bao Zhe Sheng, rather than his original ring.

He had reservations about the ancient corpse.

However,

the unsettling realization came when his divine sense withdrew from the Qiankun Ring. He inadvertently noticed that the box which originally contained nineteen top-grade spirit stones was now empty.

He turned his palms over, took out the empty box, and found it empty no matter if he used his eyes, divine sense, or touched it with his hands.

The top-grade spirit stones were gone.

Han Yi felt a chill in his heart. He directed his divine sense at his original Qiankun Ring, looked at the ancient corpse, and saw that the ancient corpse was still as peaceful as ever without any changes.

Upon withdrawing his divine sense, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Could it be that this ancient corpse had somehow taken the top-grade spirit stones from his other Qiankun Ring, or was his initial guess wrong?

Was there no issue with the ancient corpse? Was the problem with something else on him?

But this was not the time to think about all this. After putting the iron piece into the Qiankun Ring, Han Yi looked at the half-sword tool that he had found in the Immortal City, which was relatively decent so far.

Describing it as a broken sword might be more appropriate.

The broken sword had no sheath and was entirely black. It was only slightly lighter than the iron piece. On the blade of the half sword, two ancient runes were inscribed.

Eradicate demons.

Han Yi's divine sense swept across the broken sword named "Eradicate Demons" but didn't detect any spirituality. It was a broken sword with no other additional attributes and only retained its original material characteristics.

The name was quite coincidental.

In the Daqian Immortal City's Star River Garden, he had obtained a Demonic Dagger in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. That dagger was only a low-grade spiritual treasure and could not keep up with Han Yi's strength, so it was kept in his Qiankun Ring.

However, this Eradicate Demons was different from that one.

As he prepared to store away the Eradicate Demons broken sword,

He suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity with this broken sword.

This feeling of familiarity wasn't caused by the Demonic Dagger, nor was it because he had seen this sword before. Instead, he had seen some tools made of the same material as this sword somewhere.
