Chapter 776 - 775: Hundred Treasures Secret Realm! Beginning the Fourteenth Full Evolution
Chapter 776: Chapter 775: Hundred Treasures Secret Realm! Beginning the Fourteenth Full Evolution
Gu Yuexi nodded and walked over to Huo Lang and Big Y.
Huo Lang and Big Y were so nervous they didn’t dare breathe, unsure of what Gu Yuexi was about to do.
Gu Yuexi raised her hands and placed them above their heads.
A brilliant white light flashed in her palms and vanished.
After just a few seconds, she retracted her hands.
Gu Yuexi turned, returned to Chu Sheng’s side, and said calmly,
"Let’s go."
Chu Sheng nodded and flew back into Gu Yuexi’s underwear pocket.
Gu Yuexi’s feet moved, and she used Instant Teleportation.
She turned into a streak of white light, heading toward Luoping City.
Leaving Huo Lang and Big Y standing there, stunned and unable to recover their wits for a long time.
Just a moment ago, a vast amount of Cultivation Insights and comprehensions of the Law had flooded their minds.
These were some of the Cultivation Insights of Immortal Venerable Shi Xi from her time in the Profound Understanding Realm.
Although it was just scraps, for Loose Cultivators like Huo Lang and Big Y, it was a grand opportunity that not even Divine and Immortal Weapons could be traded for!
It was like Hua Tuo teaching a modern, ordinary practitioner of Chinese medicine about his medical experience.
Just a few pointers would be enough to cause an epiphany, benefiting them for a lifetime.
As long as they studied and absorbed it diligently, becoming a renowned physician in their own right wouldn’t be difficult.
It was the same for Huo Lang and Big Y.
As long as they could comprehend even one percent of these insights from Immortal Venerable Shi Xi, advancing to the Divinity Transformation Realm in the future would be effortless.
"Lord Mosquito is awesome! Fairy is awesome!"
"Long live Lord Mosquito! Long live the Fairy!"
Snapping back to their senses, they dropped to their knees with a THUD.
Facing the direction where Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng had disappeared, they kowtowed respectfully three times.
[Ding! Power of Faith +8000]
[Ding! Power of Faith +8000]
Hearing the system prompts in his mind, Chu Sheng wasn’t surprised.
’With Huo Lang and Big Y’s original aptitude, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to reach the Divinity Transformation Realm in this lifetime. But with Gu Yuexi’s guidance, it was like they were given a cheat code. As long as they weren’t lazy in their Cultivation, they could advance to the Divinity Transformation Realm with their eyes closed. Contributing some Power of Faith was only natural.’
The two of them moved quickly.
The outline of Luoping City’s walls was already clearly visible.
Chu Sheng suddenly flew out of Gu Yuexi’s underwear pocket and hovered in mid-air.
"You head back first. I have something to take care of."
Gu Yuexi was long accustomed to Chu Sheng’s habit of disappearing at a moment’s notice.
She didn’t ask what he was doing and simply nodded.
Then she turned into a streak of light and flew toward Luoping City.
Chu Sheng, however, changed direction and flew north.
His destination was a lake outside the northern part of the city.
After flying for about five or six minutes, Chu Sheng arrived at his destination.
It was a small lake, hidden among the mountains.
The location was very remote, and few people ever came here.
Around the lake, a dozen or so Low Tier Demon Beasts were drinking water.
Their strength was low; they hadn’t even reached the Spirit Awakening Realm.
When they saw Chu Sheng arrive and sensed the Divinity Transformation Realm aura emanating from him, the Demon Beasts scattered in panic, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Chu Sheng flew to the center of the lake and plunged into the water.
The lake water was icy and clear.
The bottom was covered with fine sand and gravel, visible at a glance.
On the surface, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Chu Sheng kept diving until he reached the very center of the lakebed.
Only then did he see a small, light-blue whirlpool, slowly spinning.
This was the entrance to Tang Jiesheng’s treasury—the Hundred Treasures Secret Realm.
Without hesitation, Chu Sheng dove straight into the whirlpool.
When he stabilized himself again, he was already inside the Secret Realm’s Space.
The first thing he saw was a desolate wasteland.
Barren land, no plants, no animals, not even a single blade of grass.
Only palm-sized Silver Fire Ants scurried about, wandering everywhere in search of food.
The Silver Fire Ants were the native species of this Secret Realm.
Seeing the intruder, Chu Sheng, the Silver Fire Ants instinctively tried to surround and Attack him.
But as soon as they got a little closer and sensed the Divinity Transformation Realm aura coming from him, they immediately chickened out.
They turned and fled in panic, afraid they’d be crushed to death if they were a step too slow.
Chu Sheng had no interest in bothering with these little ants and flew straight toward the deepest part of the Secret Realm.
Soon, he found the cave where Tang Jiesheng had hidden his treasure.
The cave entrance was inconspicuous, hidden behind a large boulder.
The cave was also shallow; it ended after just ten-odd meters.
The surrounding walls were bare stone, with nothing special about them.
If an ordinary person found this place, they would probably assume it was just a normal cave, search it once, and leave.
Chu Sheng, however, was familiar with the layout. He activated the Space Law and used his foreleg to press several specific spots on the stone wall in sequence.
CLICK—
With the soft sound of a mechanism turning, the stone wall directly ahead suddenly vanished, revealing a spacious cave within the cave.
Inside were rows upon rows of wooden shelves.
Neatly arranged on the shelves were all sorts of treasures.
Spirit Stones were piled up into a small mountain.
Elixirs of various grades, Magical Treasures, Cultivation Technique Manuals, and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures were displayed in a dazzling array.
The quantity was so vast it was comparable to the entire inventory of a small clan.
"Worthy of being called the Hundred Treasures Secret Realm," Chu Sheng mused.
However, he also knew that the name "Hundred Treasures Secret Realm" had nothing to do with the treasures before him.
This place was originally called the Silver Fire Ants Secret Realm.
It had been a Low Level Secret Realm with few benefits, one that even Body Refining Realm Cultivators looked down on.
Later, a great battle between Cultivators took place around the lake.
Many Cultivators died.
A large number of Magical Treasures and manuals were left scattered on the ground.
Even the surrounding Space was thrown into chaos by the turbulent Spiritual Qi.
The Silver Fire Ants took the opportunity to crawl out of the Secret Realm and drag all the scattered treasures back inside to hide them.
Later, a Cultivator accidentally entered the Silver Fire Ants Secret Realm and discovered a few treasures.
After other Cultivators learned of this, more and more people flooded into the Secret Realm.
The Silver Fire Ants Secret Realm was turned upside down, and many Cultivators reaped handsome rewards.
Gradually, the Silver Fire Ants Secret Realm came to be known as the "Hundred Treasures Secret Realm."
But the treasures in the Hundred Treasures Secret Realm were, after all, finite.
Once the Cultivators could no longer find a single treasure, the place fell into desolation once again.
Tang Jiesheng had also discovered this place by chance.
He felt that since the place was hidden and no one came here, it was perfect for hiding his loot.
So he treated it as his own private warehouse.
In all his years of burning, killing, and pillaging, the treasures he had stolen piled up like a mountain, yet he had used almost none of them.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t use them.
It was that he didn’t dare to.
After all, this was all stolen goods that couldn’t see the light of day.
Many of the treasures had distinct features and would be easily recognized if brought into Luoping City.
The family and friends of the deceased would not let the matter rest.
And the Luoping City Law Enforcement Team was not to be trifled with.
So he could only hide them here, thinking he would take them out when he moved to another city in the future.
But he never expected that in the end, it would all fall into Chu Sheng’s lap.
Chu Sheng looked at the shelves full of treasures and nodded in satisfaction.
’This haul was worth it. Tang Jiesheng really didn’t disappoint me.’
He didn’t stand on ceremony. With a flap of his wings, the entrance to the Ziwei Palace opened.
A powerful suction force emanated from it.
The treasures, Spirit Stones, Elixirs, and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures on the wooden shelves were sucked in like a tidal wave.
In the blink of an eye, the entire cave-within-a-cave was completely emptied.
After collecting all the treasures, Chu Sheng immediately left the Hundred Treasures Secret Realm and returned to the sky above the lake.
"System, are these treasures enough to offset one hundred years of evolution time?"
[Ding! Resources are sufficient to offset all evolution time.]
The system’s reply was crisp and clear.
Chu Sheng heaved a long sigh of relief.
’Although the quantity of these treasures isn’t as great as that of the Ten Great Clans of Blue Star, in terms of quality, they far surpass the inventories of the Ten Great Clans. After all, in the warehouses of the Ten Great Clans, finding even one King-level treasure would be considered good. But among Tang Jiesheng’s stolen goods, Emperor Level treasures were only fit to prop up the shelves.’
Chu Sheng slowly composed himself and issued a command in a deep voice.
"System, begin the fourteenth comprehensive evolution!"
