Chapter 222 - A Mere Feather (1/2)

The palace was filled with seals along with the power of the divine weapon itself, it was hard even for a magnate cultivator to breach through the palace – this would be one of the places of utmost importance to the dragon race!

Ao Longan held the token given to him by the clan master high in the air and instantly, the totem patterns around the palace avoided them while the seals ignored them. He proceeded to lead Zhong Yue to the front of the palace.

The doors opened quietly soundlessly and immediately, dazzling golden rays of light and the scent of jewelry bombarded their faces. Ao Longan led Zhong Yue into the Million Treasure Palace and said leisurely, "The treasures in the Million Treasure Palace were gathered by the dragon ancestors over countless years. This is the first time they were ever presented to an outsider. Our little friend, please take a look."

Zhong Yue looked forward, and his body quivered in shock as his eyes were met with a huge river. It was hovering in mid-air, shaped like dragon. Tiny droplets of water and vapor sprayed about as it soared through the air.

"By the looks of it, this river is only a few miles long, but it is actually a thousand miles in length. It was forged by gathering the Water Qi of a thousand mile river as its material. It was heavier than a few dozen mountains!"

Ao Longan smirked and said, "If you can wield this river, a single slash and you can crush a mountain ridge! Do you want to choose this treasure?"

Zhong Yue shook his head, his eyes looked past the river into the deeper part of the palace, where thousands of soul weapons hovered in the air. Each and every one of them was as strong as the river before him, and some were even stronger!

There was a stamp, shaped like a mountain and hovered in the air while emanating a thick and heavy air of the Earth Qi. There was a metal pillar covered in gold and engraved with dragon carvings, emanating an unyielding and domineering air. There was a flying golden ship, a heaven-trembling huge drum, a sky-shrouding cloud, palaces, altars, swords, sabers and a myriad of other kinds of weapons!

Even more so, he saw inconceivably powerful divine weapons, and a divine sword that looked like as if it was encoiled by a dragon.

The saint weapon of the Ao Clan dragon race — the Coiling Dragon Sword!

If only the Ao Clan allowed me to choose a divine weapon, I'd definitely take this sword.

Zhong Yue sighed, he strode forward and saw a second divine weapon. In the Million Treasure Pavilion, the divine weapons were particularly conspicuous as they would be surrounded by the ordinary soul weapons like a sun would be surrounded by its planets.

These soul weapons are refining themselves with the godly aura! Zhong Yue thought to himself.

All of the soul weapons in the Million Treasure Pavilion were incredibly strong. After all, the dragon race wouldn't keep them here if they were not up to standard. Most of them were forged by the magnate cultivators. Although they were not as strong as the Swords Gate's Ten Malefic Weapons, their appearance in the outside world would still undoubtedly incite a commotion!

The constant refinement of the soul weapons under the Qi Practitioner's atman would beget a primitive and elementary intelligence within them. This was why they would orbit around the divine weapons as a way to refine themselves.

Thankfully, the godly auras of the divine weapons were suppressed in the palace, or otherwise, even the elder cultivators would not be able to resist. And if the soul weapons were to get too close to the divine weapons, they would be directly crushed by the immense divine aura rather than being able to refine themselves.

Zhong Yue glanced around, he could still see the godly bones; the skeletal frames of the gods were also kept away as treasures by the dragon race. There were many skeletons like these in the palace.

Zhong Yue even saw the flawless corpse of a god. The scales on his crimson red skins, the horns on his ferocious head, the sharp claws of his hands and legs, the burning fire around his body, and the pair of dark black wings on his back!

This was the mortal body of a demon god that was still suffusing the air with demonic Qi even after his death. It was clear that he was much stronger than the godly bones and divine weapons that Zhong Yue had seen before this!

There wasn't a single soul weapon that dared to orbit around its mortal body. Clearly, his demonic Qi was too thick and overpowering to the point that the soul weapons would be tainted and corrupted by it.

Zhong Yue's eyes brightened up as he said smilingly, "Elder Longan, may I have this demon god's mortal body?"

While Ao Longan gave a frigid sneer and replied, "Don't think too much! This demon god came from a demon race across the sea. It took the dragon race nine magnate cultivators and nine divine weapons, and half a year's time to kill him while also preserving his mortal body. This demon god's corpse is no inferior to the divine weapons, even the dragon race is keeping it for ourselves to forge another divine weapon, how can we possibly give it to you?"

"Stingy."

Zhong Yue blinked his eyes, he asked, "Are there still demons far on the other side of the sea?"

Ao Longan answered bitterly, "Since you criticized me as stingy, I won't tell you!"

Zhong Yue shrugged before continuing to walk forward. He suddenly came to a halt as he saw a jade pendant. It was refined to the extent of being devoid of any impurities, even transcending the boundaries of a material object as even the smallest particles had transmuted into totem patterns.

There were thousands of dragon totem patterns of different forms and figures soaring on the surface of the jade pendant!

The jade pendant was constantly changing sizes; at one time it was as huge as ten thousand feet tall and a thousand feet wide, dragons flowing around it; while the next second it would be reduced to the size of a palm, small enough to be able to hang on one's waist!

"This is the Thousand Dragon Pendant!"

Ao Longan's face was contorted in bitterness as if a huge clump of meat was taken away from his body as he spoke, "This jade pendant was forged by the first clan master of the Ao Clan, engraved with a thousand dragon totem patterns and was refined for a lifetime. The Thousand Dragon Pendant is a weapon imbued with both offensive and defensive capabilities. When you cast it, it will transform from its pendant shape and morph into a thousand dragons, each of them at the level of Heavenly Dharma! If you choose this jade pendant, you would be able to use it once you are at the Heavenly Dharma stage."

"I can only use it at the Heavenly Dharma stage?"

Zhong Yue shook his head and strode forward, he said, "I might as well use my Fang Blade, I can already wield it in battle now. And even the Ten Malefic Weapons in Swords Gate are better than it. At least, the Ten Malefic Weapons didn't have such a high prerequisite on the users' cultivation base. It seems like having a high requirement on the user's cultivation base doesn't necessarily mean it is a good soul weapon."

Ao Longan was piqued by his words while Zhong Yue walked to the front of another soul weapon. It was a jade bottle with four fishes swimming in it, it looked exquisite and graceful.

"This is the Four Sea Bottle, the treasure of the Yu Clan, it is said to be able to contain four seas in it. This treasure was won over by the Ao Clan from the Yu Clan."
