Chapter 364 Token Blind Box
...The token may turn into a key of a different color.
Yes, it's still a key.
Wu Shaogan has been on the Sky Ranking for so long, and all he's received as rewards are keys, only each key represents a different meaning.
All keys must be used at the Temple of the Azure Sky.
Currently, neither of them has gone yet—not for any other reason than that they have many ways to gain power now and are not in a hurry. Besides, each key can only maintain its function for a short time, so it's better to accumulate some before going.
—On another note.
The token "blind box" only has a chance to be obtained by the top three players, meaning it's not guaranteed every time. Once it appears, the third-place player gets one token, the second-place player gets two, and the first-place player gets three.
After "opening the blind box", there are currently three types of keys: purple, black, and white.
The purple key is used to unlock the Thunder Tribulation Secret Realm.
The Battle Kings can safely collect treasures that can help them overcome the tribulation of lightning. These might be materials for refining, body-refining treasures like Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Liquid, or medicinal herbs containing heavenly lightning that can be used to make pills. In short, they must collect these items within the specified time, but there is no danger involved.
The black key is used to open the depths of the sky and the core of the earth. Each key randomly opens one type, protecting cultivators who can enter and comprehend the world up close. This thing is clearly not something that can be used by those in the Fusion Realm. Instead, it is something that is prepared in advance for top experts at each level to "go through the back door". Only those who have reached the peak of Nirvana are qualified to use it.
...Speaking of which, there is such a place in the ancient city, but it is only a simulation and is far inferior to this kind of direct on-site experience. However, it is still possible to gain more experience in the ancient city first, to prepare for going to the core of the celestial dome in the future, and to reduce some of the dangers.
With the two resources complementing each other, it will be more beneficial for the couple.
The white key is used to unlock secret realms.
Once inside, you enter a historical torrent. Under the protection of the token's power, you can witness powerful figures from the past unleash their secret techniques, sense their power up close, and even receive personal guidance and dialogue with them across time.
The secret techniques and realms are not engraved images, but reality.

From Wu Shaogan becoming number three on the list to now reaching number one, including the several times his ranking fluctuated, and now that the number one reward has been directly given out, he has a total of eleven blind box tokens in his hands.
None of them have been opened yet.
Zhong Cai moved closer to Wu Shaogan and suggested with a grin, "We've saved up so much, why don't we just fire them both?"
This will also allow Lao Wu to relax a bit!
Wu Shaogan's eyes were gentle as he replied, "Okay."
Zhong Cai then said enthusiastically, "You get five, I get five, let's see who's lucky. We'll share the last one."
This is one of their old tricks!
Wu Shaogan said, "Then it must be that A Cai is just lucky."
However, he simply rummaged through the tokens, letting Zhong Cai choose whichever she wanted.
Zhong Cai just casually picked through them and picked up five of them.
Each of them held a blind box token and began to infuse them with mystic energy one by one.
With two faint flashes of light, the one in Zhong Cai's hand, wrapped in a circle of purple light, suddenly transformed into a purple key; the one in Wu Shaogan's hand emitted a white light and was a white key.
The two exchanged a glance, and Zhong Cai immediately said, "See? Our luck is about the same!"
Wu Shaogan replied, "A-Cai is right. A-Cai is always right."
Zhong Cai's eyebrows flew up.
Then, they both laughed again.
Indeed, their luck was similar. Whether it was finding resources for the tribulation or comprehending new secret techniques, it was all very beneficial to the cultivators.
However, if you're really lucky, you still have to open the black key—this thing is the most important treasure for ambitious and talented cultivators!
Especially for Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan, the black keys are highly useful, so the more the merrier.
Zhong Cai suddenly turned to Wu Shaogan and said, "Old Wu, do you think we'll still have this token after we reach level six?"
Wu Shao chuckled dryly, "Of course there will be."
Zhong Cai thought about it and realized that as long as one could reach the level of the Sky Ranking, this thing was the best resource that top martial arts cultivators had a chance to obtain. Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, the higher the level, the more of these blind box keys there would be—after all, the time to use them to one's heart's content was getting closer!
The two exchanged a glance and then opened the second blind box token.
This time, Zhong Cai's side got white, while Wu Shaogan's side got purple.
Then the third time, the fourth time...
After all the tokens were drawn, Zhong Cai had two purple, two white, and one black tokens, while Wu Shaogan had three white, one purple, and one black tokens.
Zhong Cai immediately laughed: "It's about the same, we can still get black ones, we're extremely lucky."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly, took out the last token, and held it in his palm.
Zhong Cai placed her hand over Wu Shaogan's, palms facing each other, and together they enveloped the token.
The two looked at each other.
The next moment, they activated the tokens together.
The radiance flowed between their palms, but was completely blocked by their tightly pressed palms.
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "One."
Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "Two."
The two exclaimed in unison, "Three!"
Zhong Cai immediately opened her palm.
In an instant, the understated black color came into their eyes.
This is yet another black key!
Zhong Cai excitedly rushed over, hugged Wu Shaogan, and exclaimed, "That's awesome, Lao Wu!"
Wu Shaogan hugged Zhong Cai tightly and they both burst into laughter.
·
After sorting through all the rewards they had obtained from the Sky Ranking, the two did not rush to leave.
They huddled together, leaning against each other, chatting idly.
It doesn't have to be a specific topic, as long as you're together in the moment, you'll feel very happy.
Most of the day passed in this way, and it got dark.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan then steered the flying boat once more, heading rapidly toward the location of the Lingxian Sect.
It was already late at night when we arrived.
Although cultivators almost never need to sleep after reaching a certain level, most cultivators still tend to stay in their own territory after nightfall and rarely go out.
It's much quieter here.
The couple returned to Qianyuan Island without a sound.
The battle is over, but they are still the same two people.
We'll continue living our lives as before.
·
This battle for the top spot has stirred up quite a storm across the entire continent.
Especially after the cultivators who arrived in time took back the images they had recorded, those cultivators who were unable to watch the battle were also able to glimpse the style of the two top-ranked cultivators and were extremely shocked by their strength.
In no time, countless rumors about the two of them circulated across the mainland.
Countless cultivators have sought to understand the experiences of the two individuals, and many have even retraced their steps, hoping to discover whether they could achieve the same level of strength if they had similar experiences.
As they searched, their story spread far and wide...
·
Young powerhouses who reach a certain level of strength will inevitably attract enemies and have many people who dislike them during their growth.
Wu Shaogan has one, and so does Chao Hanxiao.
In the past, when Chao Hanxiao topped the list, he made those who were eager to make a move unable to raise their heads. Even the major forces that had clashed with him mostly backed down, or at least held back for the time being.
However, at the time they knew that Chao Hanxiao was very powerful, but they did not know that Chao Hanxiao was this powerful.
After seeing those battle scenes, even if there was still some resentment, it would be completely suppressed.
Wu Shaogan came from another continent and had only spent two years on the top continent, so he naturally encountered very few things.
But even in that short time, he had already attracted enemies.
However, the enemy, though powerful, was quite sensible and abandoned revenge early on, having no intention of making an enemy of Wu Shaogan. On the other hand, the source of their enmity is still bedridden and under the watchful eyes of many alchemists, in dire straits… it would be better if he were just dead.
As for others who had interacted with the two and had a decent relationship with them, when many cultivators found them during their "tracing back to the source," they were naturally willing to help promote them and also make some connections in the process.
More detailed accounts of his deeds were also spread...
Most of what's associated with Chao Hanxiao is that he's aloof, cold, and a loner. And since many of Chao Hanxiao's past deeds were already exposed, this is just a revisiting and a search for recent years' stories, so he's not actually that much of a hot topic anymore.
Many cultivators were actually more interested in Wu Shaogan.
The new top spot! Their background is quite unique!
However, upon closer examination, they discovered that no matter what events they found, there was always another person involved.
Looking at it from all angles, they show off their affection more than anything else.
For a moment, the many cultivators who had worked so hard were filled with mixed feelings.
"There's nothing wrong with a loving couple..."
"King Zhong Dan must have provided a lot of assistance to King Wu Dou..."
"That's fifth on the list!"
"Unfortunately, we are simply unable to implement such a method..."
"I heard that these two were teleported from another continent together, and they are such a perfect match. I can't learn from them, I can't learn from them!"
"It would be better to go back and focus on cultivation!"
·
Not only the outside world, but also the interior of the Lingxian Sect and the War God Hall were filled with joy for many days.
This is a true role model!
Thus, inspired by their example, when the disciples of both families discovered that the Zhong and Wu couple had returned and were no longer socializing but had instead gone into seclusion to cultivate diligently, they quickly put aside their distracting thoughts and stopped just joining in the fun.
Cultivation! Cultivation!
They will never slack off!
