The gravity of the Eighth Layer was far beyond that of the Seventy-Third Layer. As Aotian stepped into the Eighth Layer, he immediately felt as if he were carrying a great mountain on his back. 0
 
At that moment, Aotian's face appeared somewhat pale, and his knees involuntarily bent as each step became incredibly difficult. 0
 
Even so, Aotian remained steadfast with every step, like an immovable mountain! 0
 
After surveying his surroundings, Aotian's eyes shone with fervor. The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Weapon Elixirs around him were undeniably enticing. 0
 
Even a warrior from the Celestial Spirit Realm would likely struggle to remain calm in this place. 0
 
The Elder was right; the rewards became increasingly alluring the higher one ascended. Although the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the first layer were indeed rare, they were nothing compared to what was found here. 0
 
The items in the Eighth Layer could drive warriors from the Celestial Spirit Realm mad; how much more precious would the treasures on the Ninth Layer be?! 0
 
As Aotian pondered this, he unconsciously glanced toward the entrance of the Ninth Layer. However, every step he took now felt immensely challenging; if he attempted to enter the Ninth Layer, he would likely be crushed and unable to move at all. 0
 
Yet, the treasures on the Ninth Layer must be more valuable than those in the Eighth Layer. Opportunities to enter the Treasure Tower were scarce; could he really just give up? 0
 
At that moment, Aotian felt an intense inner conflict. 0
 
Just as Aotian wavered, his peripheral vision caught sight of a damaged Ancient Map. 0
 
Each treasure in the Eighth Layer was strikingly eye-catching, but this Fragmented Map appeared rather ordinary. However, its plainness piqued Aotian's interest. 0
 
Anything placed by Xuantian Academy in the Treasure Tower's Eighth Layer could not be an ordinary treasure; this Ancient Map was likely not as simple as it seemed. 0
 
With this thought in mind, Aotian's eyes brightened slightly as he slowly approached the Ancient Map step by step. 0
 
The closer he got to the Ancient Map, a familiar feeling began to rise within Aotian's heart. 0
 
 
Slowly extending his hand, the Ancient Map was immediately grasped by Aotian. 0
 
At that moment, the two Fragmented Maps in Aotian's Storage Ring suddenly trembled violently, causing Aotian's expression to change dramatically. 0
 
"Could it be that this Ancient Map is one of those four Fragmented Maps?!" 0
 
Immediately, Aotian's face was filled with ecstasy, and he couldn't help but exclaim. 0
 
In the Purple Gold Chamber, Aotian had auctioned for the second Fragmented Map. After combining the two maps, he realized that there were a total of four Fragmented Maps. When all four Fragmented Maps came together, a significant event would occur. 0
 
At the same time, these four Fragmented Maps seemed to be related to the tomb of an ancient deity, which made Aotian pay even more attention to these Fragmented Maps. 0
 
However, the Fragmented Maps were scattered all over the place, and Aotian had no clear idea of their locations. He could only rely on chance to gather the Fragmented Maps. 0
 
What Aotian did not expect was that this third Fragmented Map was actually located in the Treasure Tower of Xuantian Academy. This was indeed tremendous news for Aotian. 0
 
Taking out the other two Fragmented Maps from his Storage Ring, Aotian slowly leaned the three Fragmented Maps together. 0
 
In an instant, the three Fragmented Maps emitted blinding golden light, and a Primal Aura surged forth like a flood from the Fragmented Maps, instantly bursting out of the Treasure Tower and radiating in all directions... 0
 
Outside the Treasure Tower, the Grand Elder stood quietly with his eyes closed. Just as that terrifying Primal Aura erupted from the Treasure Tower, the Grand Elder's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened wide, locking onto the Eighth Layer of the Treasure Tower. 0
 
"What kind of power is this? Why does it seem so ancient?" 0
 
The Primal Aura pouring out of the Treasure Tower surged forth like wild horses running amok in all directions. 0
 
Seeing this, the Grand Elder's expression changed drastically. Although he was unsure what this aura represented, he understood that if people discovered it originated from Xuantian Academy, then Xuantian Academy would likely never know peace again. 0
 
 
Such ancient artifacts typically originate from a distant past. Those that have survived to this day possess immense power. 0
 
One can imagine the terrifying chaos that would ensue at Xuantian Academy if this news were to spread. 0
 
Thinking this, the Grand Elder immediately felt a sense of urgency. He quickly performed a series of hand seals, and in an instant, a brilliant beam of light shot from the top of the Treasure Tower, transforming into a massive Light Shield that enveloped the area around the Treasure Tower for several miles. 0
 
The Primal Aura was also trapped within the Light Shield, unable to break free. Seeing this, the Grand Elder finally let out a heavy sigh of relief. 0
 
"How could there be such a Treasure in the Treasure Tower without my knowledge?" he murmured with a frown. 0
 
In the Eighth Layer of the Treasure Tower, when the Fragmented Map unleashed its terrifying Primal Aura, Aotian's expression changed dramatically. 0
 
Aotian was well aware of the value of the Fragmented Map. If its secret were exposed due to this aura and it were to be seized by others, he would surely be devastated! 0
 
With this thought in mind, Aotian hurriedly separated the three pieces of the Fragmented Map, causing the Primal Aura to gradually dissipate. 0
 
Aotian tossed the three pieces of the Fragmented Map in his hands and couldn't help but smile broadly. He then put away the other two pieces and walked towards the exit of the Treasure Tower with the newly acquired piece. 0
 
Aotian was almost certain that this Fragmented Map was the most precious item in the entire Treasure Tower. After all, its origins were mysterious and seemed to involve a great secret of heaven and earth. 0
 
Even as just a Fragmented Map, its value was immeasurable. It was likely that Xuantian Academy was unaware of its secrets; otherwise, it wouldn't have been placed in the Treasure Tower. 0
 
Even if the supreme Treasure displayed on the ninth floor belonged to Xuantian Academy, it could not compare to the value of the Fragmented Map. 0
 
Thus, upon seeing the third piece of the Fragmented Map, Aotian decisively abandoned his plan to go to the ninth floor and made his way down from the tower with the Fragmented Map in hand. 0
 
When Aotian exited the Treasure Tower, he was surprised to find Luo Yiqiang, Han Kong, and the Grand Elder waiting for him. Aotian quickly walked over to them. 0
 
 
"Aotian, quickly tell us, what Treasure did you obtain? Was that ancient aura just now emanating from the Treasure you got?" 0
 
As Aotian approached, Han Kong spoke loudly. 0
 
Aotian knew that the aura had already spread out. Others might not have noticed, but the Grand Elder, Luo Yiqiang, and Han Kong could not have missed it. 0
 
After all, the three of them were either in or near the Treasure Tower. 0
 
Luo Yiqiang remained silent, his eyes fixed intently on Aotian. From his expression, Aotian could tell that Luo Yiqiang was also quite curious. 0
 
The Grand Elder's gaze also flickered towards Aotian, his meaning clear. 0
 
Seeing this, Aotian did not hesitate. He readily took out the Fragmented Map he had just obtained and handed it to the three of them. 0
 
Upon seeing this, Luo Yiqiang and Han Kong immediately showed disappointment. They had thought Aotian had acquired some precious Treasure, but it turned out to be just an ordinary Ancient Map. 0
 
Instantly, both lost interest in studying it and passed the Fragmented Map to the Grand Elder... 0
