Chapter 840: King Grade Secret Treasure
There were only five King Grade Secret Treasures. Di Wuque had already made the first move. Xiao Chen did not know how long the traps and restrictions along the way would delay him.
So, Xiao Chen could not help but increase his speed. After a long time, he finally arrived at the doors of the vast Treasury Hall.
The doors had opened long ago. Above them, the words “Treasury Hall” emanated powerful and vast energy, appearing full of spirituality. The cultivators who arrived here all paused and gazed at Xiao Chen for a moment. Their eyes all revealed an expression of caution; they did not dare to underestimate him.
He was someone bold enough to clash with Di Wuque at the Sage Mark Monument. He had stood on top of the Sage Mark Monument—an unprecedented feat. Finally, he kicked down the unparalleled Di Wuque.
After this, the name White Robed Bladesman Xiao Chen would definitely spread. The reappearance of the Azure Emperor’s descendant would stir up a storm in spades.
Xiao Chen looked away from the doors and stepped inside. After he entered, he arrived in a s.p.a.cious room. Ancient murals decorated the walls. Nine pa.s.sageways in the surroundings waited for the arriving cultivators to choose.
Just casually pick one. All of them will eventually lead to the great hall containing the King Grade Secret Treasure. After that, you can go up to the next floor from there, Ao Jiao said from the Immortal Spirit Ring. Back then, the Thunder Emperor had also come here. Naturally, she would be familiar with this place.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to make a choice, someone came in from outside, attracting his attention. That person appeared shocked, clearly not expecting to meet Xiao Chen here.
Xiao Chen glanced at this person, and after he saw that person’s appearance, he ignored him and calmly picked a pa.s.sageway.
Hatred flashed in Bai Wuxue’s eyes in the s.p.a.cious room. After a mere half year, Xiao Chen was not even interested enough to look at him properly anymore.
Stone doors lined the two sides of the pa.s.sageway. Xiao Chen entered one of these doors to check the room behind. Aside from fragments of puppets, there was nothing else. Clearly, someone already took the Secret Treasures.
After this sight, Xiao Chen did not bother entering these rooms. He moved quickly, occasionally running into some combat puppets. He did not show any mercy, using the fastest method to deal with them.
A short while later, he arrived at the great hall that led to the next level. A stone platform in the middle of the hall bore a box containing a sword flickering with electric light.
Sparks of electricity floated down continuously from the air above the stone platform, looking extremely strange.
A miniature transportation formation hovering in the air flashed rays of light continuously. This should be the way to the next level.
Ao Jiao, who was in the Immortal Spirit Ring, rubbed her head. Feeling doubtful, she asked, Strange, why did Di Wuque not take away this King Grade Secret Treasure?
Xiao Chen thought for a while before answering, It is not strange. Di Wuque and Tian Youxi are only two people. They can take only four Secret Treasures in total. They have to give up on one.
Inside the hall, aside from Xiao Chen, there were a few other people, who were staring at the Extreme Thunder Sword on the stone platform. They all revealed a strong desire to possess it.
Xiao Chen sized up these people and discovered that he had seen most of them before.
On the west side were the two men and one girl of the Merfolk Race from the Chaotic Demonic Sea. Of all the people in the hall, these three had the most urgent looks in their eyes.
To the north was a Fiend Race cultivator in blue. Xiao Chen had noticed this person carving his name on the Sage Mark Monument. According to Ying Qiong, he was known as the Azure Wolf Swordsman and was one of the Fiend Race n.o.ble Clans’ scions in the Profound Domain.
The strength and acc.u.mulations of this clan were no weaker than a human Sovereign n.o.ble Clan’s. The Martial Emperor holding down the fort was called the Azure Wolf King.
Although the Azure Wolf King had not yet advanced to Sovereign Martial Emperor, the Azure Wolf Race no longer had any ties with the Fiend Domain. Rumor said that the Azure Wolf King had gotten chased out, due to an irreconcilable conflict with the Spirit Fox King.
Not far away were three Deity Race old men. Although none of them were Keepers, they were already a hundred years old. By relying on their deep cultivation and the Mental Energy Martial Techniques unique to the Deity Race, they could compete with the demonic geniuses of the younger generation.
The person across Xiao Chen was a middle-aged man giving off a sharp sword intent. He had a fervent gaze as he stared at that sword in the box.
As a swordsman, that person’s greatest wish would be to obtain a good sword. This person’s sword intent even evoked some fear in Xiao Chen that he wondered if the middle-aged man had condensed a sword soul.
The Kunlun Realm was full of hidden talents, so it was not surprising to run into these hidden experts.
There were also cultivators of various races wanting to take advantage of the subsequent chaos to benefit. All of them had avid gazes. Among them were even some experts that Xiao Chen had not taken note of.
However, all this had nothing to do with Xiao Chen. He did not use the sword. He did not have any desire for the sword inside the box. He could only obtain two Secret Treasures in this place. He could not waste his opportunity on this Secret Treasure that had nothing to do with him.
“Outstanding talents of the Kunlun Realm, I am Princess Yao Yan of the Chaotic Demonic Sea’s Merfolk Race. My race is currently facing a crisis of extermination. I implore everyone to let us have this Extreme Thunder Sword. This lady represents the entire Merfolk Race to owe everyone a debt of grat.i.tude. We will definitely repay this in the future.”
Just as Xiao Chen prepared to leave, the Merfolk Race girl took a step forward and tendered a sincere request.
Xiao Chen could not help but smile. This girl was truly naive. Given the temptation of a King Grade Secret Treasure, who would back out just based on her words?
