Ancient Ancestral Emperor

3The importance of a wooden box that the great demon king had used his life as a price to exchange for it was self-evident.    0

    

This kind of thing was obviously impossible for the Great Demon King to let it fall into the hands of humans. The only possibility was that he would bring this wooden box with him or pass it on to the demons. However, these two possibilities did not exist. Moreover, the most incomprehensible thing was that this wooden box was used by the people to hold the extremely important secret.    

    

Qin Shaojie saw only one possibility with this method, and that was that people might know the importance of the wooden box and its unique properties, which was why they left it here.    

    

According to what Patriarch Subhuti said, even Qin Shaojie had not been able to see what was so special about the wooden box. If it were not for the movement of the sarcophagus using his divine sense, it was highly likely that he would have treated the wooden box as an ordinary object that could not be casually thrown away! Furthermore, based on the level of caution that people had, to be able to store such important information and information, they must have taken a fancy to the special and extraordinary aspects of this wooden box.    

    

What was so special about this wooden box? Could it be that the Infernal King and the Gate of Mortal were treating him as a treasure?    

    

Qin Shaojie's gaze was fixated on the ordinary-looking wooden box, and really couldn't wrap his head around it. In this world, every treasure had its own special characteristics. It was either useful for a martial artist's cultivation or it could extend one's lifespan. In short, there must be some sort of special value that could be called a treasure. Otherwise, if it was just a decoration, there would be no meaning in all of this.    

    

Inside the wooden box, there was still a trace of the Demon Lord's aura. If he hadn't guessed wrongly, this wooden box's greatest use was to nurture the soul! Finally, Patriarch Subhuti spoke out in a low voice in response.    

    

The wooden box was not a treasure of the Tian Yuan Continent, and very few people knew about it. He didn't even know how this wooden box had ended up in the Tian Yuan Continent's Human Door. However, there was one thing that he was sure of, and that was that the Demon King had paid attention to him because of his special role in nurturing his soul!    

    

The greatest reason why demons were so tyrannical was because of the strength of their bloodline as well as the toughness of their flesh. In this situation, however, there was a major drawback: their soul consciousness was relatively weak. Thus, when demons and humans fought, they usually wouldn't choose to attack with their soul. This world was always fair. Although the human race was weak and their bodies couldn't compare to the demons, the power of their soul consciousness was still their strong point. Therefore, humans could sense the changes in the world and their own bodies by relying on the power of soul consciousness. They could see everything.    

    

The reason why the great devil king could become the great devil king was not only because he had adjusted the demon bloodline's power and physical condition to the peak, but also because his soul consciousness had reached an unprecedented level in the demon race. It was because of this that he was able to break through his shackles and raise his cultivation realm to an unprecedented level. This was the reason why he was able to become a true Supreme Realm cultivator!    

    

Patriarch Subhuti's words caused Qin Shaojie to secretly nod as well. He knew that there was nothing wrong with the ancestor's words. It was precisely because the Great Devil King had raised his spiritual sense to such a formidable level that he was able to sense the Great Devil King's soul that was surviving for over a hundred thousand years!    

    

Could it be because of the wooden box? If that was the case, then the importance of this wooden box could be imagined!    

    

If it really was like this, the importance of the wooden box could be imagined. It was even more likely that this wooden box would be used correctly and the demons would be able to nurture another Great Demon King. After all, although the devils had always been devils, but very few were able to achieve anything in terms of Spiritual Sense. Furthermore, only a few were able to reach the Great Devil King's level.    

    

Because of this, the development of the whole demon race was restricted. Otherwise, if a powerful figure like the Great Demon King appeared, the future of the demon race wouldn't be like what everyone was seeing now.    

    

Qin Shaojie and Patriarch Subhuti had fallen into silence.    

    

According to these speculations, the importance of this wooden box could be imagined. There was absolutely no possibility of it appearing in the Human Door. According to what Patriarch Subhuti knew, the wooden box had never been truly used within the sect, at least as far as he could remember. Qin Shaojie also did not find out anything about the wooden box from Zhuo Li and Lin Miao's mouth, even Wu Mei and Bai Mei did not mention anything. In this way, the situation seemed even stranger.    

    

It was as if this wooden box didn't really attract any attention from the three sects.    

    

There was another way to deduce something. A long time later, Patriarch Subhuti took a deep breath as well, then spoke in a solemn voice.    

    

No matter what, this wooden box should have some sort of special aura remaining. As long as there is an aura, I think I can sense something. After placing the wooden box in his own palm, Patriarch Subhuti muttered to himself as his hand seal slightly changed. A crack appeared in his palm and a refreshing and faint energy diffused outwards, wrapping around the wooden box. Accompanying this change, Qin Shaojie could also clearly see some of the dark-green liquid flowing out from the hole that had been split open.    

    

Qin Shaojie knew that this was something similar to human blood. He didn't know what Patriarch Subhuti was planning, but he was quite sensible and didn't say anything.    

    

Time seemed to stop at this moment, the silence in the surroundings was terrifying. When Patriarch Subhuti's aura completely wrapped around the wooden box, his face began to twitch slightly, as if he had seen something.    

    

Aside from the Great Demon King, nine deficiency had also come into contact with this wooden box before. A long time later, Patriarch Subhuti slowly opened his eyes as well. However, at this moment, his face had also turned somewhat pale. It was obvious that the attack from before had caused him to consume quite a bit of energy.    

    

The first thing he said caused Qin Shaojie to be stunned. It was obvious that he did not expect the wood box's nine deficiency to have come in contact with it.    

    

There was no doubt about this, because there were two extremely powerful auras lingering within. The first was the aura of the Great Demon King, and the second was the aura of nine deficiency. Although a long time had passed, they had left a very deep mark on the ground. I think that nine deficiency should have studied this wooden box before. However, in the end, he did not discover the true use of this wooden box.    

    

Patriarch Subhuti said in a low, serious voice as well.    

    

There was no doubt that this wooden box could be used to nourish the mind. This kind of divine intent's nurturing ability was not something that ordinary treasures could compare to. Therefore, when someone constantly used their divine intent to look at the wooden box and try to find its true use, they would certainly leave behind some of their own breath.    

    

Unknowingly, their auras had been absorbed by the wooden box and nurtured. Even if hundreds of thousands of years had passed, these auras were still barely able to remain. Just this was enough to tell how special this wooden box was.    

    

Patriarch Subhuti could sense that there were more than ten different auras within the wooden box. However, the most powerful ones were the auras of the Great Demon King and nine deficiency. It was obvious that the two of them had studied the wooden box the most. The others might not have discovered anything special about the wooden box. They merely fiddled with it for a while and did not truly study it.    

    

If this matter was related to nine deficiency, then this matter could be explained a little.    

    

There were a total of three disciples in nine deficiency, who respectively established the Heaven Gate, Earth Gate, and the Mortal Gate, becoming the leaders of the human race. There was no difference in the limelight! Amongst the three disciples, the person he valued the most was their Patriarch, and it was precisely because of this that the nine deficiency gave him the chance to cooperate with the sect.    

    

However, who would have thought that after doing such a thing, he would be disbanding the sect on the spot? Although he had teamed up with the sect, in the end, he had disbanded the sect on the spot. It was likely that even the nine deficiency back then had not expected such an outcome.    

    

Qin Shaojie once heard from Chu Feng and Quan Yang that Jiu Xu had left a special treasure for the sect." This treasure was even able to give the Sect Leader of the Sect a certain chance to reach the realm of the Nine Void, or even surpassing the Nine Void.    

    

Because of this, the Gate of Heaven and Earth had always had some unpleasantness towards the Gate of Heaven. This grudge had always existed, and it was not faked by Chu Feng.    

    

Unfortunately, no one knew what this thing was.    

    

But at this moment, Qin Shaojie's heart was beating even faster. Could the ultimate treasure left behind by the nine deficiency be this wooden box?    

    

Back then, all of their nine deficiency were the same generation as the Great Demon King, and they stood at the peak of the world. The only pity was that Kong Wu and nine deficiency had never stepped into the peak realm of Zhi Zun no matter what. There was simply no comparison between them and the Great Demon King. But no matter what, in the end, they still joined forces to fight.    

    

Thus, the two sides must have come into contact.    

    

To Qin Shaojie, this object was extremely important. Unless the Great Demon King was willing to hand it over to him personally, otherwise, nine deficiency would not be able to take the initiative to snatch it away. As for the so called "Great Demon King" accidentally losing it and just getting picked up by the nine deficiency, it was evidently even more unjustifiable.    

    

After all, since nine deficiency knew what was different about this wooden box, there were only two possibilities. The first was that he had detected the special ability of this wooden box; The second was something the great demon king had told him on purpose.    

    

However, the first possibility was almost non-existent. This was because if the nine deficiency had discovered the special ability of this wooden box, it was impossible for the previous generation of human sect masters to not know of it. And the nine deficiency would also be able to borrow the power of the wooden box to rise to another height.    

    

Then, the most likely outcome would be that the Great Demon King himself had told some things to the nine deficiency.    

    

But another possibility had appeared. Back then, the Great Demon King had to leave the Tian Yuan Continent due to the relationship with the mainland. At that time, he would still be heavily injured and disappear from the Tian Yuan Continent, but everything had happened so suddenly! In this severely injured state, if this wooden box was able to conceive and recuperate, then the importance of it could be imagined. After all, the endless universe was abnormally dangerous, and no one dared to underestimate it.    

    

Furthermore, the Great Demon King had left behind his remnant soul in the Tian Yuan Continent and had even predicted of his existence.    

    

In that case, he must have sensed that after his disappearance, the whole demon race would be in danger of annihilation. So to some extent, the Demon King ought to know about the possible destruction that the three disciples of nine deficiency could bring to the demons and the possible harm that could be done to the Hundred Races!    

    

However, even with this being the case, he still handed the wooden box to the other party.    

    

After all, Qin Shaojie did not believe that the Great Demon King would be that ignorant!    

    

So, what are you trying to say?    

    

Qin Shaojie's speculations caused Patriarch Subhuti to sense that something was different, and he immediately asked in a low voice.    

    

I have a bold guess. Although it is not very mature, it is the best explanation for this phenomenon.    

    

What kind of guess?    

    

All of this might have been deliberately arranged by the great demon king, or perhaps it was even deliberately arranged by the great demon king!
