Chapter 2246: Chapter 2246: Wooden Box!

Zhou Yu said calmly:

"I’m just browsing."

"If I need anything, I’ll find you."

Upon hearing this, the woman quickly and respectfully said:

"Yes, senior."

In fact, regardless of the race, there are many cultivators like Zhou Yu who dislike interacting with others, especially as their cultivation level gets higher; the woman found nothing strange about it.

Then, Zhou Yu began to stroll around.

However, many people from the Alien Race nearby, upon discovering the unfathomable aura of Zhou Yu, all kept their distance.

Some even chose to leave directly.

Soon after, the shop that was once somewhat lively was left with only a handful of people.

After another while, these few people also left one after another.

Zhou Yu couldn’t care less about this.

At this moment, he was in front of a shelf filled with ancient books.

These ancient books contained detailed records of past legends in the Northern Territory and Black Cloud City.

This intrigued Zhou Yu.

At once, Zhou Yu picked out some and brought them to the woman.

"I’ll take all of these."

"How many Spirit Stones?"

Seeing the ancient books Zhou Yu had selected, the woman suddenly laughed and said:

"Senior, if you like these ancient books, feel free to take them, I won’t charge a single cent."

Zhou Yu furrowed his brow.

"I don’t have the habit of taking things for free."

"I can certainly afford these Spirit Stones."

The woman hastily said:

"Senior, you’ve misunderstood."

"I am not questioning you, senior, I just wish to form a good relationship, perhaps there are other matters we could cooperate on!"

"Other matters?"

"What kind of matter?"

Zhou Yu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately said:

"Senior, I have something in my possession, and I wonder if you’re interested."

"Oh?"

"What item?"

Zhou Yu asked.

The woman said:

"Please, senior, come with me to the second floor, where I will take out the item for you to see."

Seeing the woman’s mysterious demeanor sparked some curiosity in Zhou Yu.

"Alright, lead the way."

Instantly, the woman guided Zhou Yu to the second floor.

Although on the surface Zhou Yu remained calm, he had already activated the Eye of Destruction in secret to check the surroundings.

The place was indeed ordinary, with nothing particularly special about it.

Soon after, the two reached the second floor.

The woman invited Zhou Yu to sit down, then she stepped out.

Moments later, she returned with a wooden box over two meters long.

Seeing this wooden box, Zhou Yu’s pupils slightly contracted.

The material of this wooden box was actually Heavenly Spirit Wood!

Previously, when Zhou Yu was threatened by Mrs. Mu in the Black Soul Abyss, Mrs. Mu had a complete piece of Heavenly Spirit Wood.

Thus, Zhou Yu recognized it at a glance.

Upon recognizing the Heavenly Spirit Wood, Zhou Yu was immediately invigorated.

Knowing that Heavenly Spirit Wood is a top-tier material of immense value, Zhou Yu wondered what could possibly warrant being encased within a wooden box made of such precious material?

While Zhou Yu was intrigued, the woman placed the wooden box in front of him.

"Senior, it’s this item."

"Please, have a look."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu didn’t immediately open the wooden box.

Instead, he first used his Divine Sense to probe it.

He found that the Divine Sense couldn’t get close.

Only then did Zhou Yu remember that Heavenly Spirit Wood naturally blocks Divine Sense probing.

Subsequently, Zhou Yu employed the Eye of Destruction.

With the help of the Eye of Destruction, Zhou Yu saw that there was a faint layer of patterns on the surface of the wooden box.

These patterns were clearly some kind of Rune Technique meant to seal the contents of the box.

Nevertheless, through the Eye of Destruction, Zhou Yu managed to discern some clues.

Instantly, Zhou Yu became interested.

He then extended his hand to open the wooden box.

As the box opened, Zhou Yu felt a slight spatial fluctuation.

The next moment, a burst of pure Demonic Qi emerged from the box.

As soon as the Demonic Qi was released, it began to permeate the surroundings.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He waved his hand, and the Demonic Qi was immediately absorbed by Zhou Yu.

Witnessing this scene, the woman’s eyes showed a look of shock.

She knew from experience how formidable the Demonic Qi in the wooden box was.

When she first obtained it, even a senior expert in her family from the Integration Realm nearly succumbed to the Demonic Qi, sustaining injuries to Primordial Qi in the process.

It took a full ten years to recover.

Yet now, Zhou Yu effortlessly absorbed all the Demonic Qi with a mere gesture, an impressive feat indeed.

The woman took a deep breath, excitement flashing in her eyes.

All of the woman’s reactions were noticed by Zhou Yu.

Nonetheless, he said nothing, as his attention was entirely captivated by the contents of the box.

The wooden box contained a tattered, cloak-like item.

All the Demonic Qi was emanating from this tattered cloak.

Zhou Yu’s eyes revealed a look of amazement.

He reached out and took the cloak into his hands.

Instantly, the Brahma Heaven Demon Qi within him began to circulate automatically.

This situation surprised Zhou Yu greatly.

The Demonic Qi within the cloak was terrifying enough to stimulate the Brahma Heaven Demon Qi inside him.

Could it be that this cloak is related to the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique?

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but recall the origins of the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique.

The Brahma Heaven Demon Technique was something he obtained from that old tree root.

And the origin of that old tree root was extremely remarkable, as the Plane Treasure Demon Blade in his body had grown from the old tree root.

If this tattered cloak is related to the Brahma Heaven Demon Technique, it must also be an item of considerable significance.

"Where did this item come from?"

Zhou Yu asked.

The woman immediately responded:

"To answer you, senior, I happened upon this item by chance."

"I do not know its origin, and when I first acquired it, I nearly perished from the Demonic Qi invading my body; it was only with the help of a senior from my family in the Integration Realm that I survived."

"Later, after research by the family elders, this item should be related to the Demon Clan."

"Moreover, it is likely a treasure of a Demon Clan expert above the Tribulation Crossing Realm."

"Regrettably, it is already damaged, and from the extent of the damage, its owner is presumed to have perished."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded; it indeed had ties to the Demon Clan.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu activated his Brahma Heaven Demon Qi, injecting it into the cloak.

In the next moment, the cloak began to move on its own.

Simultaneously, the cloak expanded more than three times in size, exuding rolling Demonic Qi.

This Demonic Qi was not ordinary; it was a kind of Demon Pattern.

Upon appearing, it circled around Zhou Yu.

Creating an incredibly strong protective barrier.

However, Zhou Yu had a feeling that this might not be the intended use of the item.

He pondered for a long while and then suddenly activated the Brahma Heaven Dharma...
