Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 890 - 840 Meditation Cushion, Gong, Divine Incense

Ye Chen even felt that cultivating on this large cushion might allow him to sense the bottleneck to break from the Lower God King to the Middle God King Realm—and achieve a breakthrough in one stroke!

"It's a pity I can only stay in this 'Abandoned Land' for three days, and during this time, I must hunt for treasures rather than focusing on cultivation."

Ye Chen sighed softly.

Yet, a glint of determination flashed across his eyes.

If he couldn't cultivate here, he could take the cushion with him instead! Then, he could cultivate once he left this Abandoned Land!

Thinking so, Ye Chen promptly stood up from the cushion and reached out with his hand to grab the larger cushion, attempting to store it in his Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

But to Ye Chen's surprise, his effort to grab the cushion resulted in no movement, as though it was being anchored by an incomprehensible force!

Ye Chen's grip wasn't the kind you would take lightly—his sheer strength could effortlessly lift a towering Giant Mountain, even with minimal effort.

Yet, he found himself unable to move a single "tiny" cushion, leaving him baffled.

Ye Chen turned his palm over and applied greater force toward the cushion, but still, the large cushion seemed rooted to the spot.

Finally, even after pouring all of his Divine Power into his grip, the cushion remained immovable.

Frustration.

This was the second time Ye Chen had felt the sting of failure since entering this Abandoned Land.

First, he had been denied entry into the Main Hall, and now he couldn't even claim a meditation cushion.

This deepened Ye Chen's reverence for the Abandoned Land belonging to the 'supreme existence,' while also giving him greater clarity about his own combat power.

"Though I am already considered overwhelmingly strong by the standards of many Heavenly Divine Venerables, I still pale in comparison to the supreme existence!"

"Even the abandoned relics of this supreme existence defy my attempts to claim them."

After his moment of reflection, Ye Chen turned his gaze toward the twenty-five smaller cushions.

If he couldn't take the large cushion, perhaps he could retrieve the smaller ones.

"I wonder if these smaller cushions will be as difficult to claim."

Ye Chen reached for a smaller cushion and immediately felt a tremendous resistance against his grip, challenging him to exert more force. Only after using ninety percent of his strength did the cushion finally rise.

Ye Chen's face lit up with delight.

Success.

He could retrieve it!

Once the cushion levitated from the ground, it became unexpectedly lightweight, and holding it felt as though it were as light as a feather.

With the cushion in hand, Ye Chen sensed waves of Divine Power flowing into his body.

While its effect couldn't compare to the largest cushion, its potency was still ten times faster than Ye Chen's regular cultivation speed.

"A fine treasure nonetheless!"

Ye Chen smiled and with a flash of Divine Light, he stored the small cushion in his Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

Next, Ye Chen proceeded to collect the remaining twenty-four smaller cushions from the ground.

By the end of his efforts, the hall that once housed the cushions now contained only the largest one.

Gazing at the nearly barren hall, Ye Chen took a step toward a corner passage leading to the Side Hall.

This corridor connected to twenty-five rooms.

Using Divine Sense, Ye Chen scanned the area and confirmed—there were indeed twenty-five rooms.

It seemed likely these rooms once housed the disciples of the supreme existence.

All the doors were tightly shut, and Ye Chen couldn't probe their interiors with Divine Sense, so he pushed the first door open.

This room was meticulously clean, containing only a bed frame without any bedding.

"It appears that these disciples took all their valuable possessions with them when they left."

Ye Chen shook his head.

As for the bed frame...

Ye Chen discovered that its effects were similar to the cushions he had just collected. Since he now had twenty-five cushions, he didn't find the bed frame particularly enticing.

Exiting the first room, Ye Chen proceeded to investigate the rest.

The second room—empty.

The third room—also empty.

It wasn't until Ye Chen reached the thirteenth room that his eyes finally gleamed with excitement.

This room wasn't utterly barren; it contained several items.

Aside from the bed and a cushion similar to those he'd collected earlier, Ye Chen noticed a copper gong hanging on the wall and a mysterious wooden hammer placed on the floor beside it.

Neither the gong nor the hammer emitted a trace of Divine Light, resembling mundane items, but Ye Chen knew better—they were treasures!

After all, relics left behind by the disciples of a 'supreme existence' were unlikely to be ordinary.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen picked up the copper gong along with the hammer.

Both were staggeringly heavy, as if holding two Giant Mountains in his hands!

Even more shocking, the instant Ye Chen grasped the hammer, his Divine Power began pouring into it like a raging river.

If Ye Chen hadn't reacted swiftly by tossing the hammer away, he might have been completely drained of his Divine Power within two breaths!

Despite his quick actions to halt the flow, the hammer had already absorbed eighty percent of his Divine Power in mere moments.

As Ye Chen's expression changed drastically, the discarded hammer began radiating Divine Light and autonomously struck the copper gong.

A deep, resonant "dong" reverberated through the room.

Immediately, Ye Chen felt the entire room sealed by an invisible force, and even the remaining twenty percent of his Divine Power was rendered inert.

This oppressive restriction reminded Ye Chen of the overwhelming aura of a Sovereign Realm entity!

Ye Chen's mind and spirit trembled violently.

"Incredible."

"What kind of relics are this gong and hammer?!"

"Even with eighty percent of my Divine Power drained, I couldn't imagine a mere hammer creating a Sovereign Realm-like restriction. Could it be that the hammer and gong amplify the absorbed Divine Power to produce higher-level effects?!"

For an entire half-cup of tea's time, Ye Chen remained imprisoned by this restrictive force.

Once the effects finally dissipated, Ye Chen wasted no time sitting down to recover the Divine Power drained from him.

When his energy was fully restored, Ye Chen cautiously examined the copper gong and hammer again.

"These relics are undoubtedly an extraordinary treasure!"

"With these items at my disposal, I might even be able to immobilize an Immortal Divine Venerable for a while!"

"And this is merely my current capacity. If I had more Divine Power to pour into the hammer, its restrictive force and duration might grow even stronger!"

After further scrutiny, Ye Chen carefully stored the gong and hammer into his Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

These relics, he decided, would require thorough study once he left the Abandoned Land.

Judging from their latent potential, Ye Chen suspected they might become his ultimate trump card.

Now was not the time for an in-depth exploration though; the time spent recovering his strength had already been substantial. Ye Chen grabbed the small cushion in the room and left.

Moving onward, Ye Chen investigated the remaining rooms.

However, most of the remaining rooms yielded nothing, just like the earlier ones.

It wasn't until the penultimate room that Ye Chen discovered an incense burner and a partially burned Divine Incense.

Even as Ye Chen found the Divine Incense still lit, the room bore no other clues about the time that had passed since the Abandoned Land was deserted, nor how long the incense had burned.

Upon smelling it, Ye Chen immediately felt the Divine Incense's effects on cultivation were even greater than those of the cushions.

Ye Chen extinguished the Divine Incense and discovered that it could be reignited by channeling Divine Power. After testing this property briefly, he packed away both the incense burner and the Divine Incense.

With this done, Ye Chen stepped into the final room.

The last room, like many before it, was barren.

Having searched all twenty-five rooms and thoroughly combed the Sub Palace without uncovering anything further, Ye Chen left the right side of the Sub Palace and emerged into the plaza.

A flicker in the air marked Ye Chen's swift movement as he headed toward the Side Hall on the left.

With the Main Hall inaccessible and the right Side Hall fully explored, Ye Chen wouldn't miss the opportunity to seek treasures in the left Side Hall—or the rear Side Hall, for that matter.
