Chapter 1195: Chapter 1195: Divine Artifact Chooses Its Owner

The crowd was examining these items when a holographic image was projected from the ceiling, revealing a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a refined appearance, long legs, and exuding male charisma.

“Dad!” Xiaona called out excitedly when she saw the projection.

Xiaoye, however, just stood there watching, her expression somewhat complex.

“Being able to come here already proves your excellence and qualifies you to inherit my legacy. The twelve divine artifacts here are the ultimate artifacts I’ve collected throughout my life. Each has its own remarkable features, and they all have the potential to become artifacts of the Great Emperor level.”

“However, it’s not easy to turn an artifact into one of the Emperor’s artifacts. Even dedicating one’s entire life may not achieve this level for a single artifact. I’ve exhausted all means in my life to elevate the Chaos Gourd to the Great Emperor level but can progress no further. I suggest that you each choose only one artifact that resonates with you and focus on elevating it to the Great Emperor level. Greed is of no benefit.”

“Artifacts like these have a spirituality that is no less than that of humans. Not only do you choose them, but they also choose you. If the protective cover is opened and the artifact doesn’t resonate with you, it will vanish on its own to find its rightful opportunity. Therefore, choose carefully.”

“I won’t tell you about the origins and names of these twelve ultimate artifacts so that you won’t be swayed and fail to choose the one that matches you. Lastly, let me share a small secret: among these twelve ultimate artifacts, there is one that has already received the Emperor’s opportunity. With time and accumulation, it will surely ascend to the Emperor level. Good luck. I hope you can find it and resonate with it.”

With that, the projection of the Ancient Realm King faded away.

“Does he mean to say that these artifacts can move on their own? If they don’t like us, will they just leave?” Ouyang Yudu asked.

“That seems to be the case. If these are all Upper Ultimate artifacts, if they decide to leave, we might indeed find it difficult to stop them,” Di Esi replied.

“Then we need to seriously consider how to keep them all here,” Lin Shen thought. He didn’t believe that everyone should only choose one.

If possible, he’d want them all.

However, keeping them isn’t an easy task. The Red Gourd and the Jade Purifying Bottle haven’t yet returned to the Great Emperor level, and their power is likely only comparable to the Upper Ultimate artifacts. The Chaos Bell also hasn’t reached the Emperor level, so whether it can trap these ultimate artifacts remains uncertain.

Lin Shen was puzzled. The Ancient Realm King admitted himself that he only had the Chaos Gourd at the Great Emperor level. So why wasn’t the Chaos Gourd here?

Xiaoye and Ya only knew that the Ancient Realm King’s exclusive artifact was the Chaos Bell, not the Chaos Gourd.

The group examined these ultimate artifacts, but there were no labels indicating their names or origins.

They could only rely on their own knowledge and observational skills to discern something.

Apart from the origins of The Three Treasure Chests, which everyone knew were created by the Cloud Immortal as ultimate artifacts, possessing all of them would certainly make them the most powerful artifacts here.

“Could the artifact the Ancient Realm King mentioned, the one that could become an Emperor’s artifact, actually be The Three Treasure Chests?” Lin Shen pondered.

Everyone studied the artifacts for a long time, but apart from The Three Treasure Chests, they really didn’t recognize any others.

Lin Shen looked at Xiaoye and Xiaona, who also appeared bewildered, obviously unfamiliar with these artifacts and unaware of their origins.

“Since we don’t have any leads, let’s open one and see,” Lin Shen said, already heading towards the stone platform where the book “Realm King Chronicles” was placed, planning to lift the crystal cover and take the book out.

Although the Ancient Realm King stated that the twelve artifacts here are all ultimate artifacts, this book was clearly handwritten, even the title. It seemed merely a memoir, and it was hard to believe a memoir could be an ultimate artifact. Though not impossible, it seemed highly unlikely.

Lin Shen suspected that this might be a trick left by the Ancient Realm King, as “Realm King Chronicles” might not be an ultimate artifact but could actually contain secrets, potentially recording information about the origins and usage of the other artifacts.

Wei Wufu and the others had similar thoughts, so they agreed with Lin Shen’s decision when he decided to lift the crystal cover.

Despite this conclusion, Lin Shen took all necessary precautions before opening the crystal cover.

He summoned the Chaos Bell, and Xiaona held the gourd aimed at the book, prepared to seize it should any changes occur, and the “Realm King Chronicles” attempted to escape.

This was the only artifact with text content among the twelve artifacts, so even if it didn’t document information related to the twelve artifacts, Lin Shen wanted to see what was inside.

As Lin Shen cautiously lifted the crystal cover, the “Realm King Chronicles” emitted a white glow.

As if a breeze had passed, the pages turned on their own and quickly flipped to the middle.

To the surprise of Lin Shen and his companions, the opened pages contained no text at all.

Apart from the cover, the book was blank.

Lin Shen reached out to take the book, his movements swift, but the book vanished in an instant, the pages fluttering like a swallow flying through the air, disappearing into the void in a moment.

The Red Gourd’s suction power barely had time to react, and the Chaos Bell didn’t manage to suppress it.

“What the heck? It’s gone just like that?” Lin Shen was momentarily stunned, realizing the Ancient Realm King was telling the truth: if it didn’t resonate, it was indeed difficult to hold onto these artifacts.

“In that case, we can only find an artifact that resonates with us,” Di Esi said, carefully observing each artifact until he stopped in front of a three-legged copper furnace.

“Strange, why do I feel familiar with this copper furnace? Yet I’m sure I’ve never seen it before,” Di Esi said, staring at the three-legged copper furnace with a look of confusion.

“Maybe it’s destined for you, precisely the artifact that resonates with you. Why not open it and see?” Lin Shen suggested.

Di Esi nodded slightly at this suggestion and reached out to lift the crystal cover.

As he lifted the cover, the smoke emerging from the three-legged copper furnace wrapped around Di Esi like a white True Dragon, coiling around him and swirling in the air, emitting a dragon’s roar.

The smoke dragon’s tail pulled the three-legged copper furnace into the air. It floated before Di Esi as he extended his hand, and the copper furnace settled into his palm, radiating divine light.

“Heaven and Earth Qiankun One-day Furnace…” Di Esi murmured, as if the name suddenly popped into his mind, inexplicable yet he knew it was the name of the three-legged copper furnace.
