Chapter 678: Chapter 664 Dazzling Bronze Ancient City!_1

The voice of the stone lion echoed again, carrying with it the imperial decree from the authority of the Ancestral Court. As the guardian of the Ancestral Treasury, it--of course--would obey!

"Young Xiao, the Ancestral Treasury has its rules. Whether you can obtain treasures depends on your eyesight. Once, a warrior made great contributions and earned the reward of the Ancestral Court, gaining entrance to the Treasury. Yet he was unlucky and only obtained a mere war Soldier!"

Upon hearing the words of the stone lion, guardian of the Treasury, Elder Shi turned and spoke to Xiao Chen.

He nodded slightly in response to Elder Shi’s words and saluted again, then Xiao Chen’s body transformed into a streak of light and dashed towards the depths of the Human Ancestor’s Treasury formed by this secret realm.

Only when he actually set foot in such a treasure vault, did Xiao Chen truly grasp the majesty of this treasury. Worthy to be the Human Ancestral Court, even though it was a branch of a region, it was unmatched by most tribes, unless it was those supreme king-level tribes and bloodline families with ancient heritage.

Finally tearing his gaze from the Elemental Stone Mountain Range that stretched for dozens of miles, Xiao Chen proceeded deeper into the secret realm. He already knew from Elder Shi that the real exotic treasures were all placed deep within the secret realm.

Within this secret realm, these numerous elemental stones were nothing more than ordinary strategic reserves to the Ancestral Court. If Xiao Chen selected elemental stones, it would be a genuine waste and a missed opportunity to choose treasures from the Treasury.

Even if they were crystal stones, one could only acquire three at most with three chances. Unless it was a top-grade crystal stone, but Xiao Chen couldn’t find any such stones. Even if there were any, his current strength wouldn’t allow him to use them.

This is not to say that the value of crystal stones isn’t high. Even a lower grade crystal is considered a spirit item. But what Xiao Chen was seeking in this treasury was a major opportunity, which couldn’t be satisfied by mere crystal stones.

Moreover, top-grade spirit stones, lower-grade and even middle-grade Crystal Stones, Xiao Chen already knew, could be obtained by trading military contributions at the Ancestral Court. A top-grade spirit stone required a hundred battle points, while a lower-grade needed a thousand battle points; which was equivalent to killing an exotic being.

A medium-grade crystal required five thousand battle points for one piece. Despite the Elemental Stone Mountain Range stretching for dozens of miles, the crystals scattered on it were mostly lower-grade or half Crystals. He could only see hundreds of middle-grade crystals. As for top-grade crystals, he didn’t see any.

At this moment, Xiao Chen discovered just how grand this Ancestral Treasury was - the entire secret realm covered a hundred square miles, littered with various types of treasures and even casting material ore, all of which seemed randomly tossed on the ground.

From these piled-up mine veins and casting materials, Xiao Chen could vaguely discern that when the treasury was initially established, there were hidden compartments for placing items. But after so many years, all sorts of resources were piled up. Later items sent to the treasury were just randomly strewn about on the ground.

Chaos!

Chaotic to the extreme, that was the only feeling Xiao Chen had. It was so chaotic it made his scalp numb. Even though he knew that among this vast collection of items were priceless treasures, wanting to identify them one by one was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

No wonder they gave Xiao Chen a whole day to choose. But at this moment, Xiao Chen felt that one day was too short. It was a waste being in the treasury; faced with the disorganised pile of treasures, it was like a hedgehog, he just didn’t know where to start.

What a sight!"

Very quickly, Xiao Chen arrived under a mountain of bones. This was a mound made entirely from the fighting bones of exotic beasts. Sensing the formidable energy remaining in it, the beasts that these bones came from were at the very least of the four-star variety, and all were rare species in the Great Wasteland. Ordinary beasts did not qualify to be placed in the treasury.

The Flame Thornbird, an Exotic Beast!"

On top of this bone mountain, there was a light gold skeleton with wings spread out, it was a hundred feet in size. The faint gold bones had flames lingering on them. These were the remains of a thorn bird, reaching the level of a five-star species, and all the remains were perfect. If there were divine craftsmen present, they could use the remains as a base, incorporate various treasures, and construct a Void Battleship.

"The top-grade Spiritual Material, Flame Spirit Iron!"

Xiao Chen’s gaze sharpened. He saw a chunk of red casting material casually tossed on the ground, with red light continuously flowing within it. It was indeed a spiritual material of top-quality grade.

This kind of spiritual material could be regarded as a clan’s treasure, whether it is in the Gu Yuan Tribe or other Battle Divisions. But here, it was casually thrown on the ground, as if someone forgot about it.

The Divine Weapon Sky-Splitting Axe, it’s said to be based off the powerful ancient Human weapon, the Hell-Splitting Imperial Axe. A genuine Emperor weapon, it was once the life weapon of the Sacred Emperor who split the sky."

What Xiao Chen saw before his eyes was a replica, and its rank had reached the level of a top-grade spiritual weapon. Looking at it, Xiao Chen instantly felt his war body being torn apart.

"Twilight Divine Iron, the core stars of exotic beasts, heavenly grade spirit root of the fire tree pear blossom, Earth Divine Stone, top-grade spiritual weapon Falling Rain Sword, the eggs of four-star exotic beasts, broken ancient instruments."

Xiao Chen’s gaze continuously scanned the surroundings. He recognized most of the items. These objects that, if placed in the outer world, would drive people mad with desire, did not make him stop in his tracks. The treasures within the Human Ancestral Court were far more than these. A pile of exotic beast eggs, as many as a hundred, some of them even released faint signs of dragon energy, obviously the eggs of dragon-type exotic beasts.

Though in this secret treasury, the ability to sense spiritual intent was restricted, he could still radiate and sense objects within thirty miles around him. Invisible fluctuations swept across the area rapidly, even the objects piled together were clearly sensed by Xiao Chen.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was holding the remnants of a bronze ding. It was an ancient artifact of the human race. The divine weapons used by the current human race, through countless years of evolution, lean more towards slaughter, but the ancient instruments of the human race are different. It has been rumored that these instruments can contain thousands of Dao and give birth to unique divine powers.

After a while, Xiao Chen discarded the ancient ding. The tool soul within this bronze ding had completely dissipated. But that didn’t mean it was worthless. The casting material alone was a type of divine gold called Earth Cloud Copper, which had the characteristic of absorbing the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Xiao Chen began to stroll around the treasury, finding it difficult to make a choice. Just then, Luli’s voice sounded in his soul sea.

"Master, fifty feet ahead, there is a faint aura of Immortal Divine Material. But it’s so weak, there should only be a tiny bit."

Immortal Divine Material!

Luli’s words made Xiao Chen startle. Even a tiny bit of Immortal Divine Material was incredibly precious. This type of material was usually nurtured in chaos. Even for a Great Divine Power, a significant price had to be paid to obtain it.

The next moment, Xiao Chen arrived fifty feet away. The scene before him was quite a mess. Countless dark casting material ores and some broken ancient instruments were piled together, mixed with some decent spiritual weapons.

Finally, under Luli’s guidance, Xiao Chen found the item that had caught Luli’s attention from the pile.

Bronze Ancient City!

Before Xiao Chen was a palm-sized Bronze Ancient City. Although small, all the city walls, arrow loops, giant crossbows, spiritual cannons, pavilions, ancient halls, ancient mountains, and spirit fields within the city were clearly visible. It was just like a miniature tribal city.

But this ancient city seemed to have suffered a significant blow. The bronze walls were full of gaps, the towers had collapsed, the ancient mountains were split, and it effused a rich aura of death qi.

"Master, this Bronze Ancient City should be like the Mountain River Seal, a supportive type of treasure. When it was cast, a small amount of Chaos Divine Iron was added into it. That’s why I could sense it. The tool soul of this Bronze Ancient City seems to have suffered substantial damage, with only the true spirit left. Waking it up will require a certain cost!"

Xiao Chen was deep in thought as he continuously examined the Bronze Ancient City in his hand. Suddenly, he remembered a rumor that a massive palace in the depths of the Border Wasteland Region Ancestral Court was in fact a unique treasure crafted by divine craftsmen, containing its own tiny space. Could this Bronze Ancient City have once been the tribal city of a human tribe?

"Luli, can the tool soul of this ancient city be awakened?" After a while, Xiao Chen asked Luli.

"If it were anyone else, the cost would of course be substantial. But I am an Eternal True Spirit. This small tool soul is nothing to me. Moreover, the divine material used in the ancient city is not only minimal but also several levels lower than Immortal Bronze. All I need to do is to integrate my Eternal Qi into it. This will let me recreate the Tool Spirit. However, the newly born tool spirit will only retain its most basic functions, and it can be considered a different entity than the previous one."

Since the tool spirit can be activated again, Xiao Chen promptly chose this Bronze Ancient City as his first treasure. For him, this came as a pleasant surprise. If this indeed was a city’s auxiliary treasure, it would be an incredibly significant opportunity for the Gu Yuan Tribe. A city wall built with iron and stone can’t possibly compare to a city wall built with treasures.

The Bronze Ancient City, this is the first one!

After carefully storing the ancient city, Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate and continued forward, his gaze incessantly scouring the surrounding area. He didn’t overlook even a single piece of ore casually discarded on the ground, for fear of missing a valuable treasure.
