Every time a relic appeared, it allowed a handful of lucky individuals to advance their strength by leaps and bounds!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Tianxu checked the poster’s information and location.

’This Purple Heart Grass was posted by Li Yang? And the location is on that island?’

As the forum administrator, Lin Tianxu could, of course, see the poster’s information.

’Haha, so that island really is special after all.’

In the past, Spirit Fruit and Medicinal Herbs had been discovered on that island, along with some mutated beasts, so the Celestial Origin Palace had been using it to temper Hua Country’s Profound and Earth-Level Cultivators. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

’To think that there’s now a high probability of a relic being there!’

’I have to report this to the Palace Master!’

Lin Tianxu’s figure flickered as he quickly left the room. In less than a minute, he arrived at a palace.

The palace before him was peculiar, quite different from any other palace on Earth. It was divided into three stories, and this was where Earth’s strongest man, Shen Xuan, resided.

...

"Oh, you’re saying Purple Heart Grass was discovered on that island, and there’s likely a relic there?"

Hearing Lin Tianxu’s report, Shen Xuan was a little surprised.

He had briefly explored it before, then designated it as a training ground.

"Yes, Palace Master. It was discovered by Li Yang," Lin Tianxu said.

"Li Yang?"

Hearing this name, a smile appeared on Shen Xuan’s face.

He had been paying close attention to the young genius, Li Yang.

"Inform Shao Jie and the other King Levels to go to that island and find the relic’s location," Shen Xuan ordered.

He sat inside the palace. Behind him was a giant screen, but it was blank.

It seemed Shen Xuan had no intention of going to the relic himself.

"Yes, Palace Master."

Hearing Shen Xuan’s command, Lin Tianxu quickly nodded and respectfully withdrew.

...

Soon, news about the Purple Heart Grass spread, and Hua Country’s King Level Cultivators all grew interested.

"There’s actually a relic on that island?"

"The Palace Master wants us to work together to break it open."

"Let’s go take a look. Maybe there’s something inside the relic that can help us!"

These King Levels were clearly very interested.

Before a relic is opened, no one knows what’s truly inside. Its value is immeasurable.

Relics had been opened in the past that offered huge benefits to King Level Cultivators.

Although such relics were rare, they did exist.

While they were interested, the Celestial Level Cultivators who heard the news were absolutely ecstatic!

"There’s a relic on that island!"

"Haha, my chance has come!"

"I’ve been stuck at the Peak of Heaven-level for several years. This time, I might make a discovery in the relic and break through directly to the King Level!"

Compared to the calmness of the King Levels, these Celestial Level Cultivators were completely thrilled!

This was because while some relics might be helpful to King Level Cultivators, the vast majority offered immense benefits to those below the King Realm.

Inside a Relic Space, the Spiritual Power is usually much denser than in the outside world. This allows for a considerable number of Spirit Fruit and Medicinal Herbs to grow within.

Of course, due to the passage of time, many of these Spirit Fruit and Medicinal Herbs would have lost their potency, but their residual Spiritual Power was still of great help to them.

One by one, Celestial Level Cultivators rushed towards the island.

At this time on the Cultivator forums, most Cultivators didn’t recognize the Purple Heart Grass that Li Yang had posted, but some still did.

"This is... Purple Heart Grass!"

"It really is!"

"What’s Purple Heart Grass?"

"Let me explain. Purple Heart Grass is a small, grass-like plant that grows in patches. Its requirements for Spiritual Power are extremely strict, so any place where a large patch of it grows is very likely to contain a relic! In fact, more than half of all relics discovered in the past have had Purple Heart Grass nearby!"

"A relic has appeared? Haha, this can’t be real, can it?"

"OP, can you tell me where you found this Purple Heart Grass? This is urgent!"

Knowing the significance of this purple grass, the many Cultivators who saw the post became incredibly excited.

...

A single post had thrown the entire Hua Country Cultivation Realm into turmoil.

Meanwhile, Li Yang, the man at the center of it all, was looking at a message from a forum administrator.

"Purple Heart Grass... a seventy percent chance of a relic nearby..."

The message explained the significance of Purple Heart Grass in detail.

’A relic near the Purple Heart Grass?’

Seeing the message, Li Yang’s heart stirred.

He knew about relics. Rumor had it that Earth’s strongest, Shen Xuan, had become so powerful only after discovering an unimaginable relic.

Of course, no one knew if the rumor was true.

’It’s a shame I can’t open it.’

A trace of longing appeared in Li Yang’s eyes, but he immediately shook his head.

The appearance of the Purple Heart Grass meant the relic had already developed a weak point, so it wouldn’t be too difficult to open.

However, only King Level Cultivators could truly open a relic.

Upon reaching the King Level, one could fly, master lightning, and control fire and water, among other things. They also gained a special connection to the world, allowing them to sense the subtle differences between the space a relic occupied and the space around it.

It was because of this that they could identify that difference and, in turn, successfully open the relic.

But below the King Realm, cultivation was purely physical. One’s body became powerful, but they had no such connection to the world. Therefore, even knowing a relic was right in front of him, Li Yang was helpless.

Li Yang looked around, trying to spot any anomalies.

It was maddening. He knew the benefits a relic could bring, he had discovered it himself, and it was right within his grasp, yet he couldn’t get in. Anyone in his position would find it unbearable.

He wandered around for a bit, but Li Yang still couldn’t find any abnormalities in the surrounding space.

No matter how fast he cultivated, he was still just at the Celestial Level. His body was powerful, but he lacked any of the other abilities.

"Sigh. A relic so close, yet I can’t get in. This is torture," Li Yang sighed. He finally decided to give up and prepare to leave.

HUM...

Just then, as if sensing Li Yang’s frustration, the mysterious small sword in his mind suddenly pulsed.

’Hm? The mysterious small sword?’

Feeling this pulse, Li Yang was stunned.

The mysterious small sword hadn’t stirred since he discovered the World Tree.

’That’s right! The mysterious small sword’s attack power is astounding. It shattered the World Tree’s membrane with ease. Maybe it can do something now.’

Li Yang’s eyes suddenly lit up.

’Use the mysterious small sword to find the relic?’

Of course, this was just an idea. There was no guarantee it would work, but he had to at least try. Who knows, it might just succeed!

’I have to try!’ Li Yang’s heart filled with anticipation.

He had nothing to lose if he failed, but if he succeeded, the rewards would be immense.

With this in mind, Li Yang stood on the shore and tried to summon the mysterious small sword from his mind.
