X-Dragon Era
Chapter 393
Looking up at the water still held a kilometer above, and then at the vast metallic object below, Xin Yun nodded in realization, it seemed... the reason why the water was held at bay was all because of this fellow.
Contemplating, Xin Yun steered Yinglong and quietly alighted on the massive metal object. At the same time, Yi Luo Xiang finally couldn''t help but speak, "This... what exactly is this? Was it made by someone and then discarded here? But... who could have created such a huge metallic object!"
Hearing Yi Luo Xiang''s words, Xin Yun shuddered, yes... it was impossible for any individual to have forged this. It was the era of dragons now, the future sages were still hiding at home cultivating, probably without even the strength of an aspiring leader, let alone the ability to create such an enormous object.
Let''s not even talk about ordinary sages; even Hongjun, the ancestor of primordial unity, was currently deep in crucial cultivation and far from achieving sainthood, so he could not have crafted such a great metallic treasure. In that case... could this be an object naturally formed since the beginning of time?
At this thought, Xin Yun''s breathing instantly quickened. Naturally formed, and such a large metallic item, it must undoubtedly be an Innate Spiritual Treasure. But looking at its shape, what could it possibly be?
Xin Yun''s brain whirred rapidly, dismissing one treasure after another. The shape of this object was too peculiar; it was vastly different from the usual forms of Innate Spiritual Treasures. After much contemplation, Xin Yun finally thought of one treasure!
Legend has it that the Kongtong Seal is the Fountain of Youth and the divine artifact that protects the immortal Dragon Clan of the Kongtong Sea. It is carved with the likenesses of the Five Directions Heavenly Emperors and encoiled with a Jade Dragon. Since ancient times, it has been said that whoever possesses it will hold the world in their hands. There are also rumors that it grants immortality. Throughout history, many Taoist seekers ventured out to sea in search of the seal, yet in the end, they all embarked on a journey of no return.
While its fame may not be as great as that of the Taiji Diagram, Zhu Xian Four Swords, or Pangu Banner, in truth... the Kongtong Seal is considered one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts, on par with the Donghuang Bell, also known as the Chaos Bell, in historical esteem.
The Kongtong Seal''s power is immensely vast; it represents the inexhaustible Fountain of Youth, rumored to bestow immortality. Note... it''s not that possessing the Kongtong Seal will grant immortality, but rather, it can confer immortality upon others, and surely even more so for its bearer.
As for how exactly it grants immortality and how one might use it to attain dominion over the world, that remains unknown. No records have ever described it, and all is but a legend.
Looking at the colossal metal object beneath him, if it were an Innate Spiritual Treasure, then it could only be the Kongtong Seal; apart from this, no other Innate Spiritual Treasure''s form matches this object! The difference is too vast.
The current situation is that, including the great Hongjun himself, no one is capable of forging such a treasure now. Therefore, it could only be an Innate object, and Innate objects are, naturally, Innate Spiritual Treasures. Among these treasures, only the Kongtong Seal fits this description. Truly a treasure that shocks the world, living up to its reputation!
Originally, obtaining a hundred thousand yuan in Immortal Stones had already exceeded Xin Yun''s wildest expectations. Just with these stones alone, the find was worthy of the title of an earth-shattering treasure. And now, adding this object, which is 80% likely to be the Kongtong Seal, is simply astonishing. Should he acquire this treasure, he could achieve immortality and even rule the world with it. If this isn''t a world-shattering treasure, then what is!

"Collect!" Hanging in mid-air, Xin Yun extended his right hand and unleashed the Treasure Control Technique. Instantly... from the tips of Xin Yun''s five fingers, a ray of light shot forth in each of the five colors: blue, yellow, red, white, and black, stretching toward the vast metallic object on the ground.
This Treasure Control Technique, capable of controlling all the treasures in the world, was a skill Xin Yun had acquired from the soul of the Sky-opening Axe. Using this technique, even the supremely preeminent Sky-opening Axe could be controlled, let alone other treasures.
In fact, whether it was Yi Luo Xiang, Yan Qingying, or Ming Xuan, everyone shared the same method of controlling treasures. They all learned from Xin Yun, who had acquired the ultimate Treasure Control Technique from the soul of the Sky-opening Axe. With it, even Innate Supreme Treasures could be effortlessly controlled, not to mention merely Innate Spiritual Treasures.
The five rays of light descended slowly from the sky, turning into five pillars of light over a meter in diameter, emanating endless brilliance, and striking the colossal metal object from the east, west, south, north, and center - the five major positions.
As the five pillars of light penetrated, the vast metal object shook violently in an instant. Witnessing this scene, a sharp glint exploded in Xin Yun''s eyes!
Although it was an object formed of metal, it could also be a naturally formed metal ingot, possibly not a treasure but just an Innate material. Xin Yun had considered this possibility too, but now that has been dismissed. If it was just an Innate material, the Treasure Control Technique would not have been able to make it budge in the slightest. Only a true treasure would respond to the Treasure Control Technique.
Since it has been confirmed to be a treasure and no one can forge it at present, it can be concluded that it is definitely an Innate Spiritual Treasure. The probability that it is the Kongtong Seal has jumped from 80% to 90% in an instant! How could Xin Yun not be thrilled?
At this moment, Xin Yun''s feelings were complex. Among the many spiritual treasures, the Kongtong Seal was the one he knew the least about. Considering that the number of Innate Spiritual Treasures is very limited and each one is immensely famous, Xin Yun might not know them like the back of his hand, but he was extremely familiar with them. Yet the only exception was the Kongtong Seal; Xin Yun only knew it was the Fountain of Youth, rumored to grant immortality and dominion to its possessor, but beyond that, he knew nothing at all.
