Chapter 225: Chapter 196: Seizing the Legacy Treasure
Following that, the Loose Cultivator at the Half-Step Rotating Pill stage saw his aura completely disappear.
The three to four-meter-long black droplet actually submerged the aura of a Half-Step Rotating Pill entirely, making it obvious that within this black droplet existed a small space, a secret space containing Legacy Treasures!
Could this first Half-Step Rotating Pill to make a move successfully obtain a Rotating Pill grade Legacy Treasure?
Everyone in the hall turned their gaze towards the black droplet the Half-Step Rotating Pill had entered, waiting with anticipation.
They did not have to wait long before the black droplet suddenly began to shake violently, and then, a figure was flung straight out from within the black droplet.
This figure was none other than the Loose Cultivator at the Half-Step Rotating Pill stage who had previously entered the black droplet!
Did he acquire a treasure?
All eyes turned towards the Half-Step Rotating Pill, only to realize that he held no treasures in his hand, and his complexion turned somewhat pale.
Had he failed?
This Half-Step Rotating Pill had chosen one of the darkest drops of Legacy Treasure, which meant it should have been easier to obtain the treasure within.
He failed even under these circumstances?
Everyone crowded around the Half-Step Rotating Pill, for they knew that as the first person to enter the black droplet, he would know the most about the conditions inside. They naturally wanted to ask him questions to prepare for their own attempts to snatch the Legacy Treasures within the droplet.
Seeing the crowd gathering, the Loose Cultivator at the Half-Step Rotating Pill stage knew without asking what they were there for.
"I failed, I have failed," the Half-Step Rotating Pill let out a bitter laugh. "Inside that Legacy Treasure droplet is a test space. As soon as I entered, I was attacked by drops of fiery red rain. Those drops of rain, falling from the space's sky, each contained power that exceeded my combat strength!"
"I was utterly defenseless. It felt like I was directly pierced by the raindrops, and then I was ejected from the Legacy Treasure droplet!"
It was expected that there would be a challenge inside the Legacy Treasure droplet.
After all, in order to obtain the treasures hidden inside, there would naturally be tests involved; the Legacy Treasures wouldn't be acquired without effort.
But what they had not anticipated was that even the weakest Legacy Treasure droplet's challenge would be so fearsome.
The fiery red raindrops were the test?
And the power of any single raindrop exceeded the combat strength of this Half-Step Rotating Pill?
This revelation made many in the room grow solemn.
It directly implied that most of them might not be able to acquire even a single Rotating Pill grade Legacy Treasure!
"Fellow Daoist, take some time to recover. I shall give it a try!"
At this moment, another Half-Step Rotating Pill stepped forward.
The outcome, however, was the same. This new Half-Step Rotating Pill, with a slightly stronger aura than the previous Loose Cultivator, chose to enter one of the darkest Legacy Treasure droplets in a bid to seize a treasure, and he too failed!
This caused many people's expressions to turn ugly.
Could it be that none of them could obtain a single Legacy Treasure? Not even the weakest Rotating Pill level Legacy Treasure?
In their unwillingness to accept defeat, more people made their moves.
After five or six Half-Step Rotating Pills had their go, a change finally occurred with the sixth attempt.
He was a Half-Step Rotating Pill from the Cloud Sky Sect.
This Half-Step Rotating Pill from the Cloud Sky Sect also chose to enter one of the weaker droplets amongst the Legacy Treasures.
This time, he remained in the droplet for three times as long as the previous Half-Step Rotating Pills before being ejected, without being thrown out.
At this, everyone grew excited.
"Could it be, this fellow Daoist has succeeded?"
"A Rotating Pill grade Legacy Treasure, even the weakest one would be a tremendous gain if he has succeeded!"
"After five failures, are we finally going to see someone reap a reward?"
While everyone waited, and after the Legacy Treasure droplet was entered for the duration of a stick of incense, the droplet finally began to buzz and tremble intensely. Amidst the trembling, it started to emit a crimson glow.
Looking at this, the situation was clearly different from when the previous Half-Step Rotating Pills were ejected in failure!
It was very likely that this Half-Step Rotating Pill from Cloud Sky Sect had truly succeeded!
While everyone hung suspended in anticipation, the Legacy Treasure droplet that radiated crimson light began to buzz and tremble even more. Suddenly, with a flicker of light, a figure flew out from within it.
"Haha, I've succeeded, I've got a lower-grade Treasure Instrument!"
The figure that flew out was precisely the same Half-Step Rotating Pill from Cloud Sky Sect who had entered the Legacy Treasure droplet.
As soon as he flew out, he laughed out loud, raising his hand in triumph.
Everyone looked towards the Cloud Sky Sect Half-Step Rotating Pill's hand and indeed saw in his grip a short flying knife shimmering with a treasure light.
Just by the shining treasure radiance on the short knife, it was apparent that it was no ordinary item.
"A low-grade Treasure Instrument!"
Recalling the words spoken earlier by the Loose Cultivator of the Cloud Sky Sect who had obtained the Half-Step Rotating Pill from the Legacy Treasure, a black bead, everyone felt a jolt of excitement.
This Half-Step Rotating Pill had truly acquired a Rotating Pill-level Legacy Treasure, a flying dagger that reached the level of a low-grade Treasure Instrument!
Treasure Instruments, they contain countless Divine Ability Bans comparable to the power of Rotating Pill-level combatants, their might is incredibly astonishing!
Such treasures, naturally, were coveted by everyone.
As the Half-Step Rotating Pill landed among the crowd, he spread his hand open and excitedly said, "This flying dagger contains twenty-eight bans. It's a low-grade Treasure Instrument, and there are no other restrictions on it. I just need to refine it a bit, and I'll be able to use it!"
Seeing the flying dagger in the palm of the Half-Step Rotating Pill, many felt a surge of optimism.
Having previously failed five times, they were worried that they might not obtain any Legacy Treasures, but now that someone had succeeded, confidence soared in many people.
"Refine the flying dagger later. First, tell us about the situation of your trial!" someone urged the Half-Step Rotating Pill impatiently.
"After I entered this Legacy Treasure droplet, like the other fellow cultivators before me, I also encountered a sky filled with fiery red raindrops. The lethality of these raindrops was truly astonishing. Luckily, my best martial skill is my movement technique which allowed me to continuously dodge the onslaught of these raindrops, avoiding being struck."
"After enduring for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the fiery red raindrops finally stopped. Then, this Legacy Treasure flew toward me, and after I grabbed it, I was sent out of the Legacy Treasure droplet!"
Fiery red raindrops again!
Hearing the words of the Half-Step Rotating Pill, and added to the testimonies of those who had been ejected from their attempts in the darker Legacy Treasure droplets, everyone understood that the weakest droplets clearly held trials of the fiery red raindrop level.
The Loose Cultivator from Cloud Sky Sect had succeeded, so naturally, no one else wanted to fall behind. For a moment, many people with strength comparable to the Half-Step Rotating Pill flew towards the weakest of the Legacy Treasure droplets one after another.
In the end, twenty-six people entered the weakest droplets to try their luck, and ultimately seven people each successfully obtained a low-grade Rotating Pill-level Legacy Treasure.
At that time, someone finally stepped forward to challenge the moderately glowing Legacy Treasure droplets.
This person was none other than the young leader of Cloud Sky Sect, Yun Luo.
Considering the weakest Legacy Treasure droplets contained low-grade Rotating Pill-level Legacy Treasures, Yun Luo naturally did not wish to settle for just that. His strength was much greater than those who had successfully obtained Legacy Treasures before him. His first attempt at challenging a Legacy Treasure droplet was aimed at one of moderate glow.
Seeing that Yun Luo was eyeing a Legacy Treasure droplet that shone brighter than all those previously entered by others, every person present, whether they had obtained a Legacy Treasure or not, turned their gaze towards Yun Luo.
Legacy Treasure droplets varied in brightness, and the treasures and difficulty of challenges within differed accordingly.
The challenge that awaited inside the moderately glowing droplet Yun Luo was about to enter needed no explanation to be understood as distinctly different.
Yun Luo's strength was already among the elite of those present.
Whether he could succeed in obtaining a Legacy Treasure from the moderately glowing droplet would largely predict the outcomes for many others.
Momentarily, all eyes were fixed on Yun Luo, even Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, Fairy Nishang, Liu Yan, and others watched him intently.
Boom!
Just then, Yun Luo's figure moved, and in an instant, he flashed into the moderately glowing Legacy Treasure droplet.
Everyone waited.
The wait quickly spanned the time it takes an incense stick to burn. In the dimmest Legacy Treasure droplets, enduring this long without being ejected definitely meant acquiring a Legacy Treasure.
However, now that the time had passed, the droplet Yun Luo entered showed no reaction, clearly indicating that the rules for these moderately glowing droplets were completely different from those of the darkest droplets!
After another incense stick's time passed, still no movement.
Just as it was nearing three sticks of incense in time, the droplet suddenly began to violently shake, and then, a figure was flung out directly from within.
It was none other than Yun Luo!
When everyone looked at Yun Luo's face, they could see his expression of dejection—Yun Luo had failed!
Yun Luo, the commander of the great fifth-rank sect—the Cloud Sky Sect—was exceedingly powerful, yet he had failed!
This result astonished many into exclaiming out loud.
If Yun Luo with his strength had failed, it meant that most others probably had no chance with the moderately glowing Legacy Treasure droplets!
Inside these moderately glowing droplets might lay mid-grade Rotating Pill-level Legacy Treasures.
Following Yun Luo's failed attempt, it seemed unlikely that many would obtain mid-grade Rotating Pill-level Legacy Treasures.
"Junior Brother Yun Luo, what was it like inside?" Several of the Half-Step Rotating Pills from Cloud Sky Sect approached Yun Luo.
The others also gathered around Yun Luo, ready to hear about what the challenge within the Legacy Treasure droplet he faced was like.
"The Legacy Treasure droplet I entered had a moderate glow, much brighter than the ones they had entered before, and as expected, the challenge was different!"
"The previous cultivators said they faced a sky filled with fiery red raindrops, but what I faced were purple raindrops directly!"
"These purple raindrops were terrifying not just because of their lethality but also because, like Fellow Daoist Liu Yan's True Fire, they seemed to scorch my True Qi!"
"It was as if these raindrops harbored True Fire within. Even if not True Fire, they were something of equal presence!"
"With raindrops plummeting from the sky, my True Qi was continually burned away. Even though I had many tactics at my disposal, I still couldn't hold out until the end and ultimately failed!"
