Death Soulwood
The second item that caught Yi Yun's attention was very unique. Compared to the 999 Thousand Snow flying sabers, it was on the complete opposite end of the spectrum.
The Thousand Snow flying sabers was gorgeous and dazzling. It was a product of an Artisan God, and it was accompanied by a top-grade sutra. There was no doubt to its power. But looking at this enchanted item, it was extremely simple, and it looked unremarkable.
It was a piece of dead wood, about the length of an adult's arm, and it was as thick as a thumb.
This dead wood looked like commonly seen dead twigs in forests at a first glance. However, just taking a more careful look would instantly make one discover how different it was.
As Yi Yun looked at this piece of dead wood, he felt like his heart was gradually being attracted to it. If he took another look, countless images would seemingly appear in front of his eyes. There was the passing of spring, and the arrival of autumn, with grass wilting and leaves turning yellow...
It seemed like they were the memories of the dead wood.
Yi Yun immediately recalled the Dao Leaf that he received under the Dao Tree. This dead wood was quite similar to the Dao Leaf, but it was also different. The Dao Leaf withered, but it also had new life. As for this dead wood, Yi Yun could only see death.
It was a strange piece of dead wood. What kind of treasure was it?
Yi Yun looked at the dead wood's introduction and it alarmed him slightly.
The dead wood was called Death Soulwood. It was originally an ancient enchanted tree that had lived for so long that no one knew how old it was. One day, a Demon God died on the tree. The demonic blood that flowed out from the Demon God splattered on the enchanted tree, corroding it.
After the enchanted tree was corroded by the demonic blood, it eventually lost its vitality, becoming a piece of dead wood.
And this piece of dead wood happened to be obtained by the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner. He found it extraordinary, and he wanted to hire an Artisan God to create an enchanted treasure out of the dead wood.
He believed that with the Death Soulwood being stained with the demonic blood, and it being the remnants of an enchanted tree, the enchanted treasure produced would definitely be exceptional.
However, he never expected that his bosom friend Artisan God only said one line after looking at the Death Soulwood for a long while. "Decayed wood cannot be carved*."
The Artisan God did not wish to transform the Death Soulwood, and gave it back to the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner.
He was initially puzzled, but after pondering about the profound meanings in the Death Soulwood in meditation, he felt that the Artisan God's words contained some philosophical truth. After some contemplation, the Pure Yang Sword Palace owner gave up the thought of carving the dead wood.
Hence, he placed this dead wood in the first level of the Heavenly Construct Hall.
The Death Soulwood came from remarkable origins, and it was a lot more valuable than many of the treasures in the first level of Heavenly Construct Hall. The only reason why it was placed on the first level was because it was neither a weapon or an enchanted treasure. It was very difficult to use against enemies.
However… this treasure that seemed to lack any offensive or defensive abilities had a special value in Yi Yun's eyes. It could be said that its importance was not any weaker than the Thousand Snow Domain to Yi Yun.
After seeing the Thousand Snow Domain and the Death Soulwood, Yi Yun had already decided on the two treasures. However, Yi Yun still finished looking through all the treasures in the first level.
Yi Yun had originally thought that there would not be any other item that would spark his interest, but just as he was about to finish browsing through all the treasures, he discovered an item that caught his eye.
It was a formation skill, called God Confining Lock.
The core of God Confining Lock was a disk array the size of a palm. It was refined by an Array Master from the 12 Empyrean Heavens.
To use the God Confining Lock, seven experts with nearly equal strength were needed to power the formation array. Once the formation skill was activated, it would be like a complete entrapment. If the participants of the array were strong enough, it could entrap and kill Demon Gods.
Yi Yun was actually not interested in such enchanted treasures that needed many people to be deployed. It could not raise Yi Yun's strength and it was of not much value. Yi Yun was also not the leader of a sect, so how could he easily find six powerful experts to aid him?
But now, the situation was somewhat different. If he had this God Confining Lock array, it would make the situation against the Black-armored Demon God much better...
