2712 The Legendary Divine Crystal

"Huan'er… Don't you use Celestial Stones when you cultivate?" Duan Ling Tian asked with a bitter smile on his face. In his opinion, since she was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, she should have used Celestial Stones when she cultivated. Otherwise, how did she obtain such a profound cultivation base? He had checked her physical condition with his Divine Consciousness earlier and discovered she was, similar to him, not older than 100 years old!

"No…" Huan'Er shook her head innocently in response to Duan Ling Tian's question.

Upon hearing that, all four men from the Qi clan were speechless. This woman did not use Celestial Stones to cultivate? How had she been cultivating then? Even without Celestial Stones, she managed to cultivate into an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?

"Huan'er, isn't your cultivation progress slow since you didn't cultivate with Celestial Stones?" Duan Ling Tian asked with a frown. "Logically, your mother should've given you Celestial Stones and Celestial Pills to cultivate. Otherwise, your cultivation speed would be very slow." Although he had never met Huan'er's mother, he knew she was not simple since she was able to leave behind an Illusory Realm that was capable of trapping him. Even if Huan'er's mother was not human, she was definitely not an ordinary Celestial Beast. Logically, Huan'er's mother should have given her daughter Celestial Stones and Celestial Pills to cultivate with.

"Mother had given me Celestial Pills, and the medicinal properties still remain in my body… She didn't give me Celestial Stones, but she gave me this..." Huan'er said innocently as she reached out and revealed the necklace she wore.

Everyone's attention fell on the pendant of the necklace.

The pendant of the necklace was fully concealed in a circular contraption. When Huan'er pressed on a button, the contraption opened up, revealing a flash of blinding light.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Waves and waves of vast and almost palpable Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy surged out from the pendant immediately into the main hall. In just a blink of an eye, the main hall in the Qi clan's estate had turned into the perfect cultivation spot!

In other words, the Heaven and Earth Energy released by the pendant was sufficient for an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial to cultivate. However, it was probably not enough for a Celestial Duke to cultivate.

'Oh, right! I forgot about cultivation methods. In Devata Realms, higher grade cultivation methods would allow one to absorb more Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy! Moreover, the speed of absorption would be faster as well!' His previous assumption was made based on yellow-grade cultivation methods. At this moment, he felt like a frog at the bottom of a well.

Duan Ling Tian continued thinking to himself, 'In fact, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy is less dense since it has surged out into the surroundings… If Huan'er were to absorb it straight from the pendant without releasing the energy into the surroundings...' He did not dare to continue that line of thought. It was too terrifying to think of! Even if Huan'er was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial with a heaven-grade cultivation method, she would still easily reach the limit of energy she could absorb if she absorbed it straight from the crystal!

"Huan'er, close the contraption!" Duan Ling Tian said.

Upon listening to Duan Ling Tian's words, Huan'er obediently closed the circular contraption, stopping the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy from flowing out immediately.

For this reason, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Qi Clan's main hall gradually became thinner and thinner until it returned to its original state.

Duan Ling Tian had taken a clear look at the pendant hidden inside the circular contraption. It was a completely transparent crystal that looked quite similar to diamonds in Duan Ling Tian's past life. Naturally, the biggest difference was the diamonds on earth did not contain Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy.

"Celestial Crystal… That's a Celestial Crystal…" The old ancestor had greedily absorbed the dense Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy that surged out from the pendant earlier. He had a dazed expression on his face as he looked at Huan'er's necklace covetously.

Duan Ling Tian scoffed, causing the old ancestor from the Qi clan to return to his senses. His expression changed immediately, and he quickly looked away from the necklace.

The three other men from the Qi clan also regained their senses. They cowered on the ground, afraid to make even the slightest noise.

All of them were reminded that the owner of the Celestial Crystal was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!

Duan Ling Tian looked at the old ancestor of the Qi clan and coldly asked, "You said it's a Celestial Crystal? As far as I know, not even supreme Celestial Crystals have such effects, right?" He had learned about Celestial Crystals from Memory Celestial Talismans. He knew Celestial Crystal would appear in supreme Celestial Stone's vein. However, the probability of finding one was extremely low. It was lower than finding a supreme Celestial Stone in a prominent Celestial Stone's vein. A Celestial Crystal was equivalent to 1,000 supreme Celestial Stones. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in a Celestial Crystal was equivalent to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in several hundred of supreme Celestial Stones.

The Celestial Crystals Duan Ling Tian had learned about were primitive Celestial Crystals. Similar to Celestial Stones, Celestial Crystals were also divided into different grades; the grades were primitive, mediocre, prominent, and supreme. Primitive Celestial Crystals could be found in primitive Celestial Crystal's veins that would also produce a mediocre Celestial Crystal once in a while.

However, the value between the grades of Celestial Crystals was different from Celestial Stones. For example, the exchange rate between the grades of Celestial Stones was one to ten. One supreme Celestial Stone was equivalent to ten prominent Celestial Stones, 100 mediocre Celestial stones, or 1,000 primitive Celestial Stones. On the other hand, the exchange rate between the grades of Celestial Crystals was one to 100. One supreme Celestial Crystal was equivalent to 100 prominent Celestial Crystals, 10,000 mediocre Celestial Crystals, or 1,000,000 primitive Celestial Crystals

As far as Duan Ling Tian knew, in a mediocre Celestial Kingdom such as the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, there was no primitive Celestial Crystal's vein. In fact, even the high-rank Celestial Kingdoms did not have primitive Celestial Crystal's veins.

On the other hand, the number of supreme Celestial Stone's veins in a high-rank Celestial Kingdom was higher than mediocre and low-rank Celestial Kingdoms.

"You're right, my lord!" The old ancestor of the Qi clan nodded hurriedly in response to Duan Ling Tian's question. "If I'm not mistaken, the Celestial Crystal in this lady's possession is a Divine Crystal that would only appear once every 10,000 years in a supreme Celestial Crystal's vein!"

A Divine Crystal!

Upon hearing this, the three other men from the Qi clan gasped. A Divine Crystal was legendary to them. They could not even hope to obtain something like that.

The Clan Leader of the Qi clan said with a sigh, "I, Qi Yun Sheng, have no regrets now that I've personally seen a Divine Crystal and felt its power…"

The old ancestor said, "Indeed. Even if we die now, we would have no regrets."

'A Divine Crystal that only appears once every 10,000 years in a supreme Celestial Crystal's vein?!' Duan Ling Tian's eyes widened when he heard the words of the Qi clan's old ancestor. As far as he knew, the number of supreme Celestial Crystal's veins in each of the 87 Devata Realms did not exceed ten! In other words, on average, a Devata Realm would only have one Divine Crystal every 1,000 years.

'Who is Huan'er's mother? I'm afraid the Phantom Foxes are no ordinary Celestial Beasts!' How could an ordinary Celestial Beast bequeath a Divine Crystal to her daughter? He recalled Huan'er had said her mother was a Phantom Fox while she was a rare Thousand Phantom Ice Fox.
