I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Hundred Herbs Sacred Heart

Last night, the area covered by the Brahma World did not encompass the entire Deep Blue City.

This was indeed a blessing amidst misfortune.

Because Han Zhan detonated the Red Moon in advance, the number of deaths under the pollution plummeted, and the disaster was curbed.

Han Zhan came today looking for records in Deep Blue City to verify some of his conjectures from yesterday.

As an old teammate, Yi Fan couldn’t possibly refuse Han Zhan’s request.

Soon, a large amount of archival material was sent over, and due to the database connection, these documents included not only those from Deep Blue City but also some from other cities and frontline battlefields.

Han Zhan began to look through them one by one.

”Archive Record: Insect Disaster Year 112, under the leadership of the Tier Eight Insect Emperor, the Insect Race used a special instrument [Blood Massacre], sacrificing 10 human cities, causing immense devastation within the Great Xia, with severe losses and countless deaths and injuries.”

”Archive Record: Insect Disaster Year 159, ten Tier Eight Spirit Contract Masters collectively hunted a large Insect Race group. With the assistance of the second war zone catching them off-guard, they should have returned with a great victory. Yet, the Insect Race group used the special treasure [Star Map], transforming the entire group into starlight and disappearing into the Star Sea, resulting in a failed hunt.”

”Archive Record: Insect Disaster Year 209, Qiao Songpa, one of the Tier Nine Awakened from the Old Covenant and the Twelve Apostles, had his location leaked, leading to an assassination plot by the Insect Race. The assassins were merely three Tier Eight Insect Emperors. Despite the disparity in strength, the Insect Race forcefully inflicted serious injuries on Qiao Songpa using the tool [Fish Intestines], whose whereabouts remain unknown.”

Looking at these tools and treasures in the archives, one familiar name after another flashed by, coinciding repeatedly with Han Zhan’s memories.

He became more convinced his judgment was correct.

These tools and treasures obtained from the Ancient Ruins, they are indeed the legendary items from his previous world, he was certain!

This discovery inexplicably filled Han Zhan with a sense of dread.

If the legends of that world are all true, then what exactly is the Blue Star he’s now on—an alternate world he traversed into or his original world?

Han Zhan was utterly perplexed, with no one to provide him with answers.

He also saw descriptions of the [Brahma World] in the archives.

The [Brahma World] is the Supreme Treasure of the Tier Nine Insect Emperor Nightmare, recorded with a limited number of uses.

The only recorded use was in Saint John State, where the Brahma World obliterated the entire state, leaving all living beings within it mutated.

It took the Imperial authorities a full year to completely clear the anomalies, but the Saint John State, after its transformation, was no longer suitable for human habitation and became a deserted wasteland.

The official Imperial evaluation of [Brahma World] is: undoubtedly, it is a Supreme Treasure. Containing an incredibly terrifying world within, if this world were to materialize from fantasy, descending upon humanity, it would spell disaster for the entire Blue Star.

Upon reading this, Han Zhan summoned the Bodhi Treasure Tree once more.

The fruit representing the Brahma World hung on the tree, still dim.

Only a faint gray-white starlight surrounded it, far less dazzling than several others.

Han Zhan also noticed that among all the World Fruits hanging on the Bodhi Treasure Tree, three at the top of the canopy were radiating golden brilliance.

These three World Fruits were also much larger than several others.

As Han Zhan immersed his consciousness into the Bodhi Treasure Tree, he was delighted to unexpectedly obtain the names of these three World Fruits.

Their names were ”Wilderness of Zhulu,” ”Hundred Herbs Sacred Heart,” and ”琴瑟扶来”.

As someone familiar with mythological legends, Han Zhan immediately understood what these names corresponded to.

Xuanyuan Sword, Shennong Cauldron, Fu Xi Zither!

Among them, the ”Wilderness of Zhulu” World Fruit was the largest, almost twice the size of the other World Fruits.

Its golden glow was intensely strong, blindingly so, like a small sun hanging on the tree.

The other two were slightly inferior but still flickered with extraordinary brilliance.

Compared to these three, the other World Fruits appeared dimmer, enveloped in mere faint starlight, their lustrous glow unable to compete with the radiance of the moon.

Witnessing this, Han Zhan was struck by a sudden realization.

Now that he had become a Spirit Contract Master, weren’t the three Contracted Spirits he signed with precisely the Xuanyuan Sword, Shennong Cauldron, and Fu Xi Zither?

So, could it be that the requirement for lighting up World Fruits on the Bodhi Treasure Tree was these Ancient Divine Soldiers he had contracted with?

This correlation seemed to make sense.

The Bodhi Treasure Tree was discovered through his talent [Divine Radiance], and so too were the Ancient Divine Soldiers; there was a commonality between them.

If one fruit represents a world, does this also imply that he could enter those worlds?

With such thoughts in mind, the greatly enlightened Han Zhan returned the archival materials before heading back to the villa.

After locating his teacher Li Shutong, Han Zhan shared his conjectures one by one.

Upon hearing them, Li Shutong nodded gravely. ”There is indeed such a possibility, but if that’s truly the case, then you must never choose the largest fruit.”

”The larger the world, the more complex its structure, and vastness also implies unpredictability. Entering it with your current strength might mean certain death.”

”So, teacher, which World Fruit do you think would be the most suitable for me to enter?”

”Shennong Cauldron, or Fu Xi Zither. Both are auxiliary types, and the worlds they represent should have relatively lower danger levels.”

”And the Brahma World, should I explore it?”

Li Shutong shook his head.

He did not recommend entering the Brahma World.

Because this world first appeared in the Empire’s Saint John State.

The anomalies and specters within the Brahma World coincided with the history and culture of the Empire’s side.

Li Shutong suspected that the Brahma World corresponded to the historical legends of the Empire’s side.

As a bona fide Great Xia person, exploring a world he’s familiar with would be more assuring.

After voicing his thoughts to Han Zhan, the latter nodded in agreement.

Having decided on the World Fruit to enter, the next step was preparation.

Han Zhan needed to comb through the deep memories in his mind and revisit those legends.

On Li Shutong’s side, he was contacting the Li Family to pass on the news about Li Fengchun and the Tier Nine Insect Emperor ambush, urging Great Xia to be on alert.

He also began cleaning out hidden pests and removing Insect Race traitors embedded within human ranks.

This process couldn’t be accomplished overnight, but as long as action was taken, it would make the Insect Race wary.

A week later.

Han Zhan had just finished drinking the Four Great Vitality Soups in the villa when he bid farewell to his teacher, Xia Youwei, and Li Lingzhen.

He didn’t plan to bring the two girls along.

Given the unknown dangers within the World Fruits, even Han Zhan wasn’t entirely confident.

It was better to leave them with the teacher, allowing them to continue their own cultivation while Han Zhan entered the World Fruits alone to explore.

Xia Youwei and Li Lingzhen, despite their unwillingness, knew that Han Zhan was doing this for their own good, so they did not insist further.

After everything was set, Han Zhan summoned the Bodhi Treasure Tree.

He made a special seal with his hands.

The Bodhi Treasure Tree grew rapidly in the wind, transforming into a towering ancient tree that enveloped the entire villa.

Han Zhan extended his hand to touch the World Fruit glowing with golden light, and in the next moment, he was transformed into countless starlight, absorbed into the golden fruit, vanishing without a trace.

The name of this World Fruit is—”Hundred Herbs Sacred Heart”!
