Monarch Of Time

Chapter 372 - 372 Elderwood King tree

Looking at the wooden c.h.e.s.t in front of him, Shun Long was actually stunned for a moment, as he then mumbled to himself in a voice filled with disbelief

ʼʼThis is... actually made from an ʼElderwood King treeʼ?ʼʼ

Although Shun Long hadnʼt noticed this back in the ʼDragon Lordʼs villaʼ, since he had grabbed the c.h.e.s.t in a hurry and placed it inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ, now that he observed it carefully, he was shocked when he realized this ʼminorʼ detail.

At the same time, after hearing Shun Long mumbling to himself in a shocked voice, Liu Mei couldnʼt help ask curiously

ʼʼLong-ge, is this ʼElderwood King treeʼ very rare?ʼʼ

Nodding his head, Shun Long looked at Liu Mei before he said

ʼʼIt isnʼt only rare, it is also extremely valuable, even among rank 6 trees. A rank 6 ʼElderwood treeʼ will take a thousand years to m.a.t.u.r.e. Upon reaching maturity, its wood becomes extremely durable, and can be used to create powerful gold-grade weapons like bows, arrows and staffs.

Among a thousand rank 6 ʼElderwood treesʼ however, there is a small chance for a single rank 6 ʼElderwood King treeʼ to appear! That tree will continue to grow, and it will take 7000 years until it reaches maturity.

Not only is the wood of the ʼElderwood King treeʼ even sturdier than the normal ʼElderwood treesʼ by many times, but it can also be used as a supplementary ingredient to create high-grade and even top-grade rank 6 pills.ʼʼ

Although Liu Mei wasnʼt an alchemist or a formation master, it wasnʼt difficult for her to realize the value of the ʼElderwood King treeʼ after hearing Shun Longʼs explanation.

This tree was a real treasure that could be used to create both rank 6 pills, as well as gold-grade weapons.

And yet, such a tree had simply been used to create a simple-looking c.h.e.s.t.

As he continued to stare at it, Shun Long also noticed various runes that were carved on the c.h.e.s.tʼs surface.

Although Shun Long wasnʼt too knowledgeable regarding formations, he could vaguely make out that the formations on the c.h.e.s.t werenʼt dangerous, but instead, they were used to protect it from any attacks.

Ignoring the formations on the c.h.e.s.tʼs surface, Shun Long took a deep breath, before he pushed the c.h.e.s.t open.

Shun Long and Liu Mei, as well as Little Black and even Little Silver inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ, all watched with rapt attention as the c.h.e.s.t slowly opened.

However, contrary to what Shun Long had originally expected, there was nothing else inside the c.h.e.s.t aside from a single white jade.

Shun Long was stunned for a moment, and he didnʼt even try to pick up the white jade.

He had originally expected that there would either be a spatial ring filled with treasures, or a star rank weapon similar to the black sword and the translucent armor.

After all, since this c.h.e.s.t was placed directly in front of the golden throne, and since the c.h.e.s.t itself was made from a rank 6 ʼElderwood King treeʼ, the c.h.e.s.tʼs contents were certainly valuable.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Shun Long still placed his hand inside the c.h.e.s.t and picked up the white jade.

The jade was actually cold to the touch while its edges seemed to have been carved meticulously, but there didnʼt seem to be anything too special about it.

ʼʼMaster, this is a memory jade. This jade is usually used, when a cultivator at the Dao Emperor realm or above wants to record a message and pass it down to their descendants.ʼʼ

Although Shun Long had never heard of the term memory jade before, since this jade was actually stored inside the wooden c.h.e.s.t, its contents were definitely nothing simple.

At the same time that Little Black finished his words, a powerful soul sense erupted from Shun Longʼs body submerging the entire room under its terrifying pressure.

Little Black stared intently at the memory jade in Shun Longʼs hands, before he shook his head a few moments later, and said in a relieved voice as he retracted his soul sense

ʼʼThankfully, there is no soul inside that jade trying to take over masterʼs body.

It is actually not uncommon for cultivators to hide part of their souls inside a memory jade, and once a ʼluckyʼ cultivator finds the jade and activates it, they will also find the soul hidden inside it invading their body.

If that person is lucky and the soul hiding inside the jade is weak, there will usually be no problem to expel it before it can wrest control of their body.

However, in the case that the soul is too powerful, it isnʼt impossible for that person to die, and the soul inside the jade to take control of that body!ʼʼ

Shun Long suddenly realized that he had actually neglected this matter.

Although he had originally been confident, that he could fight or escape against most enemies, he had actually had neglected the fact that Nascent Soul stage experts also had the ability to take over other cultivatorsʼ bodies.

It wasnʼt impossible for the soul of a powerful expert to hide itself inside the jade, and attack him when he wouldnʼt expect it.

Although Shun Long was confident that there was a very high chance for the ʼStone of Timeʼ to protect him in such a situation since it was merged with his soul, it still wasnʼt a risk that he was willing to take.

Closing his eyes, Shun Long first calmed down his agitated emotions, before he sent his spirit sense inside the ʼStone of Timeʼ and asked Little Black

ʼʼLittle Black, how do I activate this memory jade?ʼʼ

ʼʼMaster only needs to inject your qi inside the jade to activate it, before you send your spirit sense inside it.ʼʼ

Nodding his head, Shun Long opened his eyes and circulated the ʼMonarchʼs Hourglassʼ, before he injected his qi inside the white jade in his hands.

A pale white light appeared from the jade, growing brighter and brighter as Shun Long infused more and more of his qi inside it.

Less than 10 breaths of time later, after feeling that the light from the white jade had finally reached its peak, Shun Long closed his eyes, before his spirit sense was absorbed inside the jade.
