Chapter 316: Chapter 280: The Various Treasures Left by the Great Power!

This was a stunningly beautiful crown, entirely made of purple gold glass, crystal clear and sparkling.

It even featured nine sharp corners, each one inlaid with a star stone, shining brilliantly.

The Nine-Horned Purple Gold Crown seemed like the most outstanding Divine Item between heaven and earth, shimmering with the brilliance of Purple Mist, the starlight reflecting off each other. Unseen, it expelled an aura of Supreme majesty, akin to the emperor of all heaven and earth, capable of making everything cower.

Apart from Ye Chen at the scene, even ancient heroes like Yang Wushuang felt an urge to kneel and submit, just like commoners facing an exalted emperor.

However, the crown had a flaw, lackng an important part; the central gem had disappeared, leaving only an empty hole, as if it had lost a crucial corner, making it feel regrettable.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Chen faced no obstacle; the crown that was like Heaven and Earth’s most majestic Leisurely Divine Crown comfortably landed in Ye Chen’s hand, lying there quietly, transmitting a piece of information—

"True King Divine Crown, missing the most important True King Star Stone. If the Divine Crown is completed, you can obtain my inheritance..."

Indeed, it was just as he expected...

Ye Chen understood; his guess was correct. This was a True King Divine Crown, which was something one could only obtain on the path to becoming Human Emperor and was only available to the strongest contenders for the position of Human Emperor.

In his previous life, he had possessed one as well, although it had mostly been shattered in the final battle; however, during the present era’s struggle for the Human Emperor, beings like the Yuan Yang God King, the Immortal True King, inevitably possessed one because they were the most powerful True Kings, deserving of such recognition.

Yet, Ye Chen had not even set foot out of the Tiandu Continent or participated in the actual struggle for Human Emperor; unexpectedly, he had already obtained one prematurely. Although it was slightly flawed, it was something that young kings like King Hao and Flame Dragon King didn’t have the qualification to own.

Moreover, this flawed Divine Crown contained the inheritance of Jiuyue Great Power. Once the Divine Crown was completed, one could obtain the inheritance at the Great Power Level.

To Ye Chen, having such a backup wasn’t surprising. As an Ancient Great Power who had once participated in the Human Emperor struggle during the Ancient Era and became one of the strongest, Jiuyue Great Power’s foresight was exceptionally extraordinary.

If one could simply ascend the Green Stone Heavenly Ladder and obtain his inheritance by entering the last door, it would be too simple, almost surreal.

Each Ancient Great Power had extremely high expectations; even for young kings, reaching the Great Power Realm was exceedingly difficult. It wasn’t just any king who was amazing; perhaps it took several Great Domains to produce one, but looking across the vast Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, there were still quite a few.

However, True Great Powers are exceedingly rare; historically, there have never been many. Each of them in their youth had been outstanding, becoming the strongest kings wasn’t difficult, therefore the inheritors they chose must also be the strongest kings, not just any king.

However, the information Jiuyue Great Power left in the Leisurely Divine Crown indicated that the most important True King Star Stone was not in the Tiandu Continent, but was placed somewhere in the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms; and obtaining his True King Divine Crown naturally required another trial.

The True King Divine Crown was the most powerful and significant credential for competitors in the struggle for Human Emperor, also imbued with mysterious secrets; Jiuyue Great Power’s inheritance was exceedingly important. Therefore, Ye Chen would stop at nothing to find the lost True King Star Stone scattered across the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms.

Buzz—

Ye Chen opened his palm; the Leisurely True King Divine Crown hovered between his fingers, effulgent, radiating a unique glow, and possessed an overwhelming aura of the Supreme Dao, causing all young contenders besides Ye Chen to tremble in awe and feel an urge to bow down in submission.

Boom—

Suddenly, inside the Ancient Hall where the King Ancient Gate stood, unknown to everyone, a rumbling sound emerged, and an ancient gate there began to slowly open.

Everyone was amazed and rushed forward but held back from acting rashly, standing in front of the ancient gate and looking inside, they were somewhat astonished.

Inside the ancient gate was a spacious inner space, not very large, only about a hundred zhang in length and width, but it was streaming with light, fragrant and overflowing. Inside lay a field of medicinal herbs, planted with various precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Moreover, every single Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure seemed robust and fuller compared to those found in the Tiandu Continent, clearly possessing at least a thousand years of medicinal age, perhaps even more.

"Hmm?" Ye Chen startled, he clearly saw several particularly extraordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that contained a mysterious essence of the Dao, distinguishing them from other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"That is... A Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure!"

Once a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure surpasses ten thousand years of medicinal age, its efficacy increases many times. It can not only revive the dead and mend bones but also has divine effects of prolonging life.

It can be said, these kind of Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasures, even if placed in Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, could certainly provoke those old immortals facing the end of their lifespan to compete for it.

The dense medicinal mist formed a rich kaleidoscope of colors that enveloped the surroundings, a mere whiff was enough to refresh and invigorate one’s mind.

The young elites looked on, dumbfounded, and then their eyes gleamed with desire. A medicine field about a hundred zhang in size, they couldn’t fathom the number of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures planted here—everywhere one looked was truly a treasure trove of creation.

Ye Chen exclaimed in awe, this was likely a medicine field once cultivated by the Jiuyue Great Power, specifically using Divine Soil for growing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. This type of soil is the most suitable for cultivating Medicine Treasures, a rare and priceless kind across the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms, ensuring that the produce is of a higher grade, significantly more effective than other treasures.

Moreover, within the medicine field, many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, although reaching the Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasure level, ultimately withered from the passage of time, but their essence wasn’t lost; instead, it was absorbed by the Divine Soil and nourished an array of treasures in a wondrous cycle.

Indeed, this was the backyard medicine field of an Ancient Great Power, and everything about it was extraordinary.

Elder Yan couldn’t help but float out and click his tongue in amazement, "Little Chenzi, you’ve truly stumbled upon immense luck, to come across so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures so easily, not to mention those reaching a thousand years and even the ten thousand year old ones."

Ye Chen couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter, wasn’t that so?

The crowd marveled, wishing to harvest, but ultimately no one moved. The owner was still present, and they dared not act hastily, especially wary of Ye Chen’s King-level strength.

Ye Chen smiled, the medicine field was vast, and he had not monopolized it, but he had harvested all the most precious twenty-three Ten-thousand-year-old Medicine Treasures, a truly priceless collection.

Other rare and useful treasures for him were also excavated, even plots of Divine Soil were taken, leaving observers astonished at how thoroughly he harvested, unwilling to leave even a grain of sand behind.

They had no idea that the soil used here for cultivating the treasures was even rarer and more valuable than most of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Ultimately, other young elites each obtained three or four Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, friends like Xia Yang, Ancient Heroes obtained slightly more, with medicinal ages over a thousand years, but the majority was acquired by Ye Chen.

However, no one dared to voice complaints, for this fortune was rightly Ye Chen’s alone.

The hundred-zhang-wide medicine field of the Great Power was completely emptied by Ye Chen, stored away in Elder Yan’s Ancient Ring—an immense wealth that would be crucial in the future.

It can be said, with Void Dao Divine Blood, True King Divine Crown, countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Divine Soil, this expedition on the King’s Ancient Road, Ye Chen truly returned with a full load.

These were all gifts left by the Jiuyue Great Power for the ultimate victor of the King’s Ancient Road. Naturally, compared to the True King Star Stone and Great Power inheritances, these were relatively minor, just a sweet bonus, nothing more.

"Alright, this journey on the King’s Ancient Road has reached its end, seizing all fortunes possible, it’s time to head back."

The young elites were completely satisfied. This expedition on the King’s Ancient Road was fruitful for everyone, albeit far less so when compared to the true victor, Ye Chen, but it was far better than coming away empty-handed.

"It’s a pity, I thought we might find some Supreme Magic Weapons at the end of the King’s Ancient Road, useful for the Heaven Punishment Battle, but alas..."

Long Guao sighed inwardly. The Heaven Punishment Battle was drawing nearer, and although Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were rare, they were not very effective for the grand conflicts between two realms; these treasures were more suitable for healing purposes.

"Hold on, this might not be the end after all. I see at the very end of the medicine field... there’s a gate!"

Li Taixu suddenly exclaimed, catching everyone’s attention. Wasn’t the medicine field the ultimate treasure? Could there be other even more astonishing treasures beyond it?

With a swoosh—

Ye Chen took a step forward, arriving in front of the ancient gate. Due to its age, it was covered in dust, and a peculiar Qi Mechanism obscured everyone’s senses, making it impossible to notice without careful observation.

With a swooshing sound, Ye Chen flung his sleeve, generating a fierce wind, scattering the dust. Then, he forcefully pushed open the ancient gate.

The ancient gate opened easily, without any resistance. A captivating ray of light emerged, soon settling down, but it left everyone dumbfounded.

For beyond the stone gate was a vast and broad Great World Heaven and Earth, stretching as far as the eye could see, with endless mountains and rivers, skies and lands, surpassing even those of the Tiandu Continent.

And this was not the Primordial air of the Void Sky, but a vastness that was indescribable, yet it gave everyone a feeling of both relief and oppression, as if something was being released, and yet, something else was being suppressed.

Seeing this realm of Great World Heaven and Earth, Ye Chen was utterly amazed, and so was Elder Yan, because the world beyond the stone gate was none other than—the Heavenly and Myriads of Realms!
