Chapter 571: Chapter 557: Alien Treasure, Antique Within Reach of Heaven and Earth!_1

When Xiao Chen stepped out of the Spirit Rice Pavilion, he had over thirty varieties of spirit rice of the Heaven, Earth, and Human ranks in his Mountain and River Seal Space.

Of course, these pieces of spirit rice did not come cheap. But, the pavilion did not impose a strict requirement for mediums to top-grade spirit stones. Naturally, Xiao Chen would not use these mediums for these transactions.

It had cost Xiao Chen over two million low-grade spirit stones. Only the ten grains of heavenly grade Jade Bodhi Rice alone cost a staggering one million low-grade spirit stones.

Xiao Chen felt no remorse spending half of his low-grade spirit stones in a blink of an eye. Spirit items were priceless. This was especially the case for spirit plants like spirit rice, which played a significant role in the tribe.

The Gu Yuan Clan was only established a few years ago. It lacked the accumulation of millennia that other war divisions possessed. As such, various matters at the tribe still needed time to develop.

Xiao Chen did not blindly purchase all these spirit rice varieties. He made thorough inquiries and found out that even though the grains had hatched, they still had the potential to sprout and multiply. However, they would require an environment with a high concentration of Heaven and Earth’s Vital Energy to take root and grow.

This was why the Spirit Rice Pavilion could display their varieties openly for sale without fear of customers taking them to grow. The cost to regrow them was simply not worth it.

Xiao Chen had initially intended to purchase some spirit seeds directly. Unfortunately, he was told that they were not for sale. After all, once a spirit grain was planted and matured, it could be traded for benefits several hundreds of times its value. This would majorly impact the Spirit Rice Pavilion’s profits.

Even if the Spirit Rice Pavilion did put some of the spirit seeds for sale, their prices would be astronomical. Xiao Chen would never choose to purchase them.

Even though the grains of these spirit rice had shed their shells, he had the Mountain and River Seal World, which provided the most ideal conditions and soil for the growth of spirit plants. Even if the life force of the rice grains had somewhat withered, Xiao Chen believed that they would soon rejuvenate in no time and sprout roots.

At dusk, within a modest residence in the East City District, Xiao Chen sat with his legs crossed.

Having not gained anything from the East City District and South City District after almost half a day, there was no one and no power willing to trade him a top-grade spirit stone.

In the end, Xiao Chen had to settle for a temporary stay. He learned that there would be a Ghost Market Grand Exchange in the West City District in three days.

Hmm!

Just then, Xiao Chen, who was sitting on the stone bed, vanished into thin air.

The next moment, Xiao Chen appeared in the Mountain and River Seal World. An aroma from the spirit herbs welcomed him. With the low mountain range barely visible from afar and towering trees growing lushly, the place resembled a small world in its own right.

After several years, the Mountain and River Seal Space evolved again, extending over a hundred square miles. A clear lake as broad as a few miles was situated in the center. A small river meandered across the surface of the earth.

Within the hundred square miles, Xiao Chen had densely planted spirit herbs everywhere. Various kinds of spirit herbs were in a competition to display their brilliance. However, this was not Xiao Chen’s masterpiece alone. Two years ago, he discovered that he could bring others into the Mountain and River Seal.

Mu Qing and Nianhua were brought into the Mountain and River Seal. Most of the valuable spirit herbs inside were cultivated by the two of them. Xiao Chen also found that the Mountain and River Seal sped up the growth cycle of the spirit herbs by more than twice.

Near the small lake, a bamboo house was built over the water. To his surprise, the bamboo house was made out of several bamboo stems, which were named Vajra Cuiyu Bamboo and were extremely sturdy. They were considered a top-rated casting material for forging weapons.

The instant Xiao Chen appeared in the Mountain and River Seal World, a golden figure darted out from a distant forest. It was the Heavenly Horse. It was still vigoriously chewing something in its mouth with a lustrous green colored root stock extending from the corner of its mouth.

Despite the fact that it had sneaked some food, the Heavenly Horse seemed to be unconscious of its actions. Seeing Xiao Chen deep in thought, it unfolded its golden wings and knowingly flew to another dwarf mountain.

The gold-colored pupils flickered with intelligence. On top of the ancient mountain, a rock ginseng the size of a forearm was absorbing vital energy from the rock crevices.

Xiao Chen paid no mind to the Heavenly Horse’s actions. Over the years, the spirit herbs in the Mountain and River Seal had been frequently affected by the Heavenly Horse. However, it knew what was at stake and dared not touch any precious spirit herbs.

As he sat leisurely in the bamboo house, Xiao Chen was examining the crumbling stone tower that he had exchanged with a Grade 3 spirit herb during the day. Next to him, three bronze ancient spoons were scattered messily.

VRRRRMMM!

At this point, the waves of oscillations between the three ancient spoons and the stone tower grew increasingly intense. They seemed to share the same origin. The gravel stone layer on the surface of the tower fell off, revealing a bronze-colored tower.

"This must be the tower’s true form. From now on, it should be called a bronze tower!"

While holding the bronze tower once again, Xiao Chen was surprised. He’d initially thought that the tower was coarsely made because the outer stones had eroded. However, now that the tower had shown its true form, there were still signs of damages. It seemed that the tower had experienced battles.

A snap of his fingers resounded with the ringing sounds of steel and metal. Regardless of how hard Xiao Chen applied force, he couldn’t inflict a dent on the tower. It’s worth to mention that his current state had already mastered the golden war body technique, which could easily shatter spirit weapons.

Not only that, the three rusty bronze ancient spoons also started shedding rust, appearing as if they were freshly molded. They continuously emitted undetected oscillations, interacting with the tower.

"Could this be the key to the tower?"

Gazing at the three key-like structures, Xiao Chen could not help but speculate. However, despite their appearance, there were no doors to the tower and therefore no locks to be found.

"Could it require a blood drop to acknowledge its master?"

Then Xiao Chen remembered that within the Great Wasteland, there exist unique relics, not weapons of warfare, but crafted using special techniques. Once activated, they were said to possess mysterious powers.

Whoosh!

He squeezed a drop of his own blood and let it fall upon the bronze tower. In the blink of an eye, the drop of blood disappeared into the tower.

Then, the palm-sized bronze tower began to tremble. At first, it only caused ripples, as if on a peaceful lake. Yet in a moment, those ripples evolved into monstrous waves.

The entire bronze tower grew dramatically, soaring to a height of thirty feet. Despite the superficial cracks on its ancient facade, one could still sense the vicissitudes of time and the remnants of a force of incredible power.

Xiao Chen’s eyes brightened, and he was surprised to find that the drop of blood did initiate a reaction. The bronze tower was indeed a unique relic. The calligraphy that was previously obscured under the green roof now became visible.

The End of the World Tower!

These four archaic characters were the inscription on the bronze tower.

"Could this be?"

In an instant, Xiao Chen was overcome with joy. The End of the World Tower, a unique relic, was famous in the Border Wasteland Region’s history. He did not expect his luck to be so good.

The End of the World Tower is a unique spatial relic!

"Indeed, it is. No wonder it was found within the secret realm of the Xuankong Battle Clan."

Originally one of the treasury’s key pieces of the Xuankong Battle Clan, the tower had disappeared after the clan’s ruin. There were even rumors swirling around the Great Wasteland that an extremely powerful entity had destroyed it.

Standing in front of the tower, Xiao Chen brushed his hand over the weather-beaten bronze wall. Blotchy scars still littered its surface.

"The End of World Tower" was a treasure capable of space teleportation. Legend has it that, as long as one possesses a connection with the relic, no matter how far apart they may be, they can be teleported to the tower’s location.

This was a truly ancient artifact left over from primordial times. Legends suggest that the Xuankong Battle Clan had obtained this relic from somewhere else in the past.

One could imagine, if a warrior from the Yuan Tribe encounters a life-threatening situation outside the tribe, the End of the World Tower could teleport them back to safety in an instant.

Seeing the three bronze ancient keys in his hand, Xiao Chen understood that these were the ways to connect with the End of the World Tower. Without any hesitation, he acknowledged one of the ancient keys with another drop of his blood, which instantly seeped into the key.

When Xiao Chen had first obtained the bronze ancient keys, he had attempted to acknowledge them with blood, but the keys and the blood droplet did not mix together. Now it seems that the keys must be acknowledge after initiating the connection with the End of World Tower.

The bronze ancient key turned into a streak of light that entered Xiao Chen’s body. Suddenly, a nearly imperceptible idea was transmitted into his mind. It was some information passed on by the End of the World Tower.

Xiao Chen’s guess was right. To integrate with the bronze ancient key, one must first establish a connection with the End of the World Tower This also avoids the possibility of any foreign warriors who also possess the bronze ancient key from acknowledging the tower.

Through the information transmitted by the End of the World Tower, Xiao Chen found out that there were hundreds of these bronze ancient keys, all cast by the ancient human tribe using ancient methods. They contained Void teleportation formations, but now these keys had already been scattered throughout the Great Wasteland.

In the end, Xiao Chen also learned that the End of the World Tower, despite its name, could allow one to travel across the Void without being affected by the space turbulence.

However, there were limitations: the distance could not exceed a million miles. Otherwise, the End of the World Tower would not be able to sense the position of the warrior, and there would be a risk of getting lost in the Space Turbulence.

But Xiao Chen was more than satisfied. A million miles was enough to cover the entire Border Wilderness Domain, and currently, the Gu Yuan Clan could not reach anything outside of this area. This was enough.

Now that he had the End of the Word Tower, once he found enough bronze ancient keys and let the warriors of the tribe acknowledge each one, the warriors of the tribe who went out to perform missions would be able to return to the tribe without any effort after encountering a crisis or completing a mission.
