As they stepped into the other end of the hall, they were soon walking along a hallway and after some time of walking cautiously in this hallway, they had entered another great hall.
In this great hall, there were actually three heavenly relics that were floating in mid-air.
All 8 of the cultivators were startled when they saw the three heavenly relics; it was because all 3 of these heavenly relics were high grade heaven-step heavenly relics and could be made into a high heaven-step divine sword!
In short, these 3 heavenly relics could be made into a heaven-step divine swords which were extremely rare in the Dragontooth Continent.
Of course, rarer than heaven-step are the celestial-step, immortal-step, saint-step, emperor-step and even true divinity-step heavenly relics. But obtaining them is quite impossible.
As a matter of fact, immortal-step and above can't be obtain by any means and an immortal-step can be counted as an immortal class profound treasure already.
Also, Heavenly Relics are only formed when a celestial cultivator had failed in their ascension and their golden bones would be condensed into a metallic fragment called the Heavenly Relic.
This won't occur all the time and even when the Heavenly Relic was formed, it could often be a lower step Heavenly Relic such as the mortal-step and mystic-step.
It was quite hard to obtain even an earth-step or a heaven-step heavenly relic.
Also, the grades of the heavenly relic may not be the superior grade as well and it could be the poor or the average grade.
These three heaven-step heavenly relics were all the superior grade heavenly relics and were even better than even the excellent grade heavenly relics!
The reason why no one could really obtain an immortal-step Heavenly Relic was because from this step onward, it could only be formed from the golden bones of the immortals. Hence, it was called the immortal-step.
That was the reason why the Great Virtuous Saintess could so easily be bribed with saint-step or saintly divine sword. It was because obtaining one was not easy at all, if not downright impossible.
When the saint cultivators, including the Charming Saintess Luo Yingying saw these 3 heavenly relics that were floating in mid-air, they were looking at it with great interest.
The Charming Saintess Luo Yingying smiled, "How do we distribute these 3 heavenly relics when there are 4 of us here?"
She had already cast Ye Fan, Fairy Xuan Xueqi and the other two 6th realm cultivators aside with her casual comment.
The other two 6th realm cultivators were indeed looking at the floating heavenly relics with plenty of desire to obtain it. However, in the face of 4 mighty saint cultivators, they could only bitter their bitter pill in great silence.
As for Ye Fan and Fairy Xuan Xueqi, they were actually not interested.
It was because Fairy Xuan Xueqi had given Ye Fan a saintly divine sword when her papa had failed to bribe Ye Fan with one.
In short, Ye Fan already had a much better divine sword than these three heaven-step heavenly relics and moreover, he did not have to forge it into a divine sword as it was already a divine sword!
The Charming Saintess Luo Yingying was smiling to the other 3 saint cultivators, "Since these 3 heavenly relics are in their raw state, if they are forged into divine swords then it would be easy for us to divine harmony with these divine swords and to unleash the most profound power from these divine swords. I want one too."
When she had said so, the other 3 saint cultivators could not rebuke her claim; it was because they had already claimed a Yang Fire Essence Stone each.
Hence, Saint Xiao Dongguan began to look at Saint Teng Jianren and the Saintess Shen Yunfeng was also looking at the two of them.
One of them had to give up their claim to the heavenly coveted heaven-step heavenly relic!
Now this was extremely difficult for anyone of them to give up such a highly coveted profound treasure and it would not only increase their prestige in their cultivation sect and it would also increase the overall strength of their cultivation sect as well.
Also, divine swords are invaluable when one is facing breakthroughs and against the lightning tribulations. Naturally the more powerful a divine sword is, the better it is.
Naturally none of them wanted to give up this claim.
The Saintess Shen Yunfeng smiled wryly, "I am a maiden so I should have the claim. I am sure that the two of you are gentlemen, am I right?"
Saint Teng Jianren immediately frowned, "This isn't a matter of who the maiden or a man. We all have a equal claim to this."
The Saintess Shen Yunfeng giggled softly, "Maybe there are more powerful profound treasures that are inside this place. So giving it up may serve the one who is giving up better."
"Then why don't you give it up?" Saint Xiao Dongguan frowned at the Saintess Shen Yunfeng.
Saintess Shen Yunfeng smiled, "I am not giving it up because I need a heaven-step divine sword for my upcoming breakthrough. This will be invaluable to me."
The other two 6th realm cultivators were also saying, "We have a need for the heavenly relics as well."
Saint Teng Jianren stared at the two of them, "These 3 heavenly relics are surrounded by an inertia barrier. Do you even think that you have the profound strength to pull one of these heavenly relics out of the inertia barriers?"
One of the 6th realm cultivators frowned, "It isn't fair that all of you have been taking all the loots since the very start. We have contributed to entering this immortal tomb as well."
Saint Teng Jianren laughed softly, "You will have your share of the loot but not these heavenly relics…"
As the cultivators began to quarrel, Ye Fan had suddenly pulled Fairy Xuan Xueqi away as he softly said, "Let's take a breather in the hallway while they settle this."
And Ye Fan had taken Fairy Xuan Xueqi back to the hallway.
The others did not mind because Ye Fan was returning to where they had come from and they were only too glad that they had two less competitors for the three heaven-step Heavenly Relics.
Once Ye Fan was in the hallway, he quietly said to Fairy Xuan Xueqi. "I think there is another passageway in here."
Fairy Xuan Xueqi was startled as she looked at Ye Fan, "How did you know?"
Ye Fan closed his eyes as walked along the hallway while touching the walls, "I don't. It is the bronze divine tree that seems to be telling me."
All of a sudden, his hands had reached through a black wall behind a tall pillar. "There is a spatial space in here."
Fairy Xuan Xueqi was startled, "There is really a secret passageway."
Then she pondered, "There are no traps in the last two halls and it seem to be too easy. Now I know why. It is because there is another passage way in this hallway."
Ye Fan smiled, "Let's go and take a look."
