Chapter 211: Palace Treasures
Chapter 211: Palace Treasures (4000 Subscriptions Requested)
"Master." A wolf demon with gray hair and cloudy eyes walked out of the thatched hut, prostrated himself and said respectfully, "Welcome, little prince."
"Di Wu, this is a servant who has followed me since ancient times. Now he can be considered one of my relatives." The Heaven Devouring Overlord nodded and introduced him to Xu Yang, "You can just call him by his name."
"Hello, Diwu." Xu Yang readily followed suit.
After waving his hand to send Di Wu away, the Sky-Swallowing Overlord began to introduce to Xu Yang this world that he had carefully created with some interest.
"This is the water of the Red Flame Pond. It looks like magma, but it is actually a spiritual liquid. The purple-gold ichthyosaur living in it is something I found in a secret realm. Its meat is extremely delicious, and it can only survive in the water of the Red Flame Pond."
"Although these hundreds of ichthyosaurs are few in number, they are the result of my continuous reproduction. Their reproduction rate is very low... If it weren't for me, I'm afraid they would have disappeared from the torrent of time long ago."
Just like an old farmer trying to sell something, the Sky Devouring Overlord was in high spirits and was smiling all the time. "I'll ask Diwu to make a few for you later. He's an expert at processing purple-gold ichthyosaurs."
Xu Yang was very happy to listen to the introduction along the way, from the Red Flame Pool to the Canghui Beech. After all, these were the treasures of the Heaven-Devouring Overlord, and ordinary people would not have the opportunity to listen to them.
Finally, the Sky-Swallowing Overlord brought Xu Yang into the thatched hut.
Although the light in the thatched house is a little dim, there is an ancient and mysterious atmosphere in the air. Combined with the life breath of the thatch, the whole house looks unexpectedly fresh.
There are all kinds of items hanging on the walls, and each one looks like an ordinary old farmer's belongings, dark and old.
In the center, there is an old scroll hanging. In the scroll, the galaxy is vast and boundless, with numerous stars, as if the magnificence of the entire universe is condensed in this one-foot scroll.
Look carefully.
The stars are moving and the lights are interweaving.
But the most eye-catching thing was the sense of sealing that emanated from the depths of the scroll. It was heavy and deep, like an ancient seal. When Xu Yangguang took a look at it, he felt that his own divine power was sluggish a lot.
"This is a treasure I brought back from Primordial Star. It's called 'Star Sealing Atlas'." The Sky Devouring Overlord raised his hand and the scroll flew into his hand. The edge of the scroll was inlaid with tiny runes made of unknown metal. These runes appeared and disappeared in the weak light, and seemed to echo the stars in the scroll, flowing with a faint light. "This is a treasure that can seal the sky. It's very powerful. It's enough for you, Overlord."
As he spoke, the Sky-Devouring Overlord's eyes grew profound, as if he was also immersed in those distant memories.
Xu Yang took the scroll handed over by the Heaven-Devouring Overlord and looked at it carefully. Since he had not recognized the owner of the scroll, as soon as he got this precious treasure in his hands, he immediately felt that his body, which could gather and disperse at will, suddenly solidified like a block of ice frozen in winter.
"Take it and feel it first. You can also choose any of the treasures hanging around or placed in the corners."
On one side of the wall, there were several weapons of various shapes hanging. Some had slender claw blades, flashing with cold light, revealing a sharp aura. Some had helmets as thin as cicada wings, but the horns were extremely heavy, and there were faint sounds of wind and thunder... They were all equipment suitable for the monster clan and could be equipped on the monster clan's real bodies.
In the corner of the wall, there are several seemingly ordinary pottery jars, but if you look closely, you can find that a faint light is flowing through the jars, giving Xu Yang a feeling of indestructibility.
The most eye-catching thing is that on a wooden table in the middle of the thatched house, there is a pitch-black stone sculpture. The attic carved on the stone sculpture is exquisitely carved with intricate runes. From time to time, faint electric flashes and flames jump, which looks extremely mysterious.
Xu Yang stood in the center of the thatched hut, surrounded by all kinds of treasures, each of which exuded a unique charm that dazzled him, and made him excited and conflicted.
What makes me excited is that I can choose any of these treasures, but what makes me confused is that I don’t know which one to choose.
Waited for a long time.
The Heaven Devouring Overlord, who had been silent the whole time, seemed to see through Xu Yang's mood and said with a smile, "Are you overwhelmed by the choices? Tell me what you need, maybe I can give you some advice."
"I... I want to choose one that is strong in protecting my life and one that is powerful." Xu Yang was a little embarrassed. After all, this sentence meant that he wanted to pick two things. But since the Overlord of Tuntian asked, he still spoke up.
“Haha, you are really greedy.” The Sky Devouring Overlord was not angry, but laughed loudly, “However, the rules cannot be broken. Let me call your Brother Silver Wolf over. If your Secret Pattern Treasure Box can produce a Secret Pattern Weapon, then I will let you choose an extra one. Otherwise, you can only choose one to take away.”
"Thank you, Master." Xu Yang said gratefully, knowing that this was Heaven-Swallowing Overlord giving him a chance.
In fact, all the treasures in this room belong to the Overlord Swallowing Heaven. It is up to him to decide whether to give them to Xu Yang or not. If he is willing, he would not feel sorry to give away three or five pieces, let alone two.
The reason why I didn’t give so much at once is still related to the interests mentioned at the beginning.
The Heaven-Swallowing Overlord wanted to train a capable assistant or even a companion. Proper help was enough. If he was too indulgent, it would weaken Xu Yang's growth motivation and make him lose the opportunity to hone himself in adversity.
However, this is inconsistent with the interests mentioned by the Overlord of Devouring Heaven. If Xu Yang is crippled, all its interests will be destroyed.
A truly strong person is a warrior who forges ahead in the wind and rain, not a pampered flower in a greenhouse.
……
In the temple below.
The Silver Wolf Venerable, wearing a fur blanket, lay on a soft cushion with drooping eyelids. His whole body was filled with a drowsy and lazy aura. The entire hall was affected by this aura. Only a bald man with six arms was sitting cross-legged among a pile of secret pattern treasure chests, constantly opening them.
These treasure chests were dismantled from the sacrificial towers that were brought back. The only mystery of the sacrificial towers is that they cannot be detected by the divine power of the Venerable. Once discovered, any Venerable can tamper with it at will.
drop!drop!
The shrill virtual assistant prompt sounded, startling the Silver Wolf Master.
Reverend Silver Wolf stood up calmly and glanced at the virtual assistant placed in the distance. "Hmm? A message from the ancestor."
"Kahous, stop and come with me."
Wow~~~~
The six-armed bald man named Kaheus stood up suddenly, and piles of treasures fell down his body, including secret pattern wristbands, secret pattern headbands, secret pattern giant axes... all kinds of secret pattern weapons, the highest achievements of the Yanji tribe, were thrown everywhere like cabbages.
"Yes." Kahesi was enslaved by the soul and his attitude was extremely respectful.
...Soon, the Silver Wolf Venerable brought Kahes to the sky.
"Grandmaster, I have brought the people here." Reverend Silver Wolf bowed, turned to Xu Yang and said with a smile, "Little Junior Brother, long time no see. Come to my place and have a seat later."
"Hello, Senior Brother Silver Wolf. Sorry to bother you later." Xu Yang said with a smile and bowed.
"Haha, you brothers have plenty of time to chat later." The Heaven-Swallowing Overlord saw the impatience in Xu Yang's eyes and immediately waved his hand to let Kahes open the box.
A soul slave will obey the orders of his master 100%. Kahes quickly looked at the Silver Wolf Lord.
"Go ahead and open the treasure chest."
Kaheus quickly took two steps forward and placed his hand on the secret pattern treasure chest. A certification process flashed by, and with a click, the treasure chest opened.
"It's time to witness a miracle."
Xu Yang stared at Kahes's hand as he opened the lid of the treasure chest, while Sky-Swallowing Overlord and Silver Wolf Venerable also watched with interest.
Wow!
The treasure chest, which was ten meters long and six meters wide and high, was opened, revealing a bright silver crown fixed by four chains. There were no secret patterns engraved on it, and it was obviously not a secret pattern weapon.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Xu Yang's eyes, but then his brows frowned again, and soon his eyes brightened again.
"Congratulations, junior brother. Although you didn't get a secret pattern weapon, you got a valuable treasure." Venerable Silver Wolf congratulated him sincerely. His junior brother's luck was not fake. Just now, Kahes opened so many treasure chests in the temple, most of which were secret pattern weapons, and there was only one valuable treasure.
Xu Yang only seized a box, but found a valuable treasure inside it.
A precious treasure is much more valuable than a secret pattern weapon.
The view that "Secret Pattern Weapons are as valuable as treasures" was recognized in later generations. In the era when Luo Feng lived, the Yanji tribe had been destroyed for a long time. Scarcity makes things valuable. The Secret Pattern Weapons made by the Yanji tribe became out of print, so their value naturally rose.
And now, when the Yanji tribe has just been destroyed, the so-called "secret pattern weapons are as valuable as treasures" are not widely recognized, and most of them are just bragging by the Yanji tribe.
It is undeniable that the various secret pattern weapons have some characteristics of treasures in some aspects because of the existence of secret patterns. But if a treasure and a secret pattern weapon are placed in front of you and you are asked to choose one, I believe that no strong person will hesitate!
"Haha, then I'll keep my promise and let you pick two treasures to take away." The Sky-Swallowing Overlord smiled, "You can also take a look at the treasures in the box first. If they suit you, you don't have to exchange them."
Before, it made a bet with Xu Yang, the bet was whether there was a secret weapon in the box. If there was, it could exchange it for a valuable treasure. Now that there was a valuable treasure in the treasure chest, it was up to Xu Yang to decide whether to exchange it or not.
He reached out and picked up the silver crown. A trace of divine power penetrated into it, and all the information was immediately transmitted to Xu Yang's mind, making him slightly disappointed. This precious treasure was an armor. Not only did its effect overlap with the Huiyin armor, but it was also much weaker.
"Master, I'd better change it." Xu Yang took a breath and said with a smile, "This treasure is not as valuable as your collection. This opportunity is rare, so I'd better pick the good one."
"Haha, sure. Go ahead." The Sky-Swallowing Overlord laughed and waved his hand, letting Xu Yang go in and choose by himself.
After Xu Yang walked in, the Silver Wolf Venerable came to the side of the Heaven Devouring Overlord and said with a slightly sour tone: "Ancestor, why are you so doting on Junior Brother this time? This is not like you."
As soon as he accepted him as a disciple, he let him choose two treasures regardless of their levels. You know, there are some real treasures in this seemingly small thatched house of Overlord Tuntian, such as the treasure loft on the table, which is a palace treasure. Although it is not as valuable as the top-level palace treasure 'Hidden Blood Flowing Maple Shuttle' used by Overlord Tuntian himself, its value is comparable to that of ordinary top-level treasures.
The treasures in the palace have always been widely sought after, because unless the enemy destroys the palace, the "material attack" will be weakened to the point of being almost useless, and the soul attack will also be greatly weakened, which can be regarded as a life-saving expedition weapon.
The Heaven Devouring Overlord glanced at his disciple, and he knew what he meant. The warning was fake, and the benefit was real, so he said slowly, "I am not partial. Later, you and Golden Wolf can come to my place and pick a treasure to take away. There is no level limit."
“However, I have to exchange it for treasures.” After thinking about it, the Sky-Swallowing Overlord added softly.
Xu Yang came here to select treasures, and also exchanged them with the Juzun Bowl and the treasured crown in the secret pattern treasure box. These treasures placed here are all useless to the Heaven Devouring Overlord, but if you want to exchange them, you must abide by its rules.
"Haha, of course, of course, don't worry, ancestor." The Silver Wolf Reverend laughed, his face full of joy. It and the Golden Wolf Reverend were both mid-level Reverends, and many of the treasures collected by the Heaven Devouring Overlord could greatly enhance their strength. They had had an opportunity to exchange for treasures before, but that was after it and the Golden Wolf showed enough talent and became disciples of the Heaven Devouring Overlord.
Since then, it has never found an opportunity, and this time it has the opportunity to "exchange old for new", of course it is overjoyed. At the same time, its interest in its junior brother has also increased dramatically. When it and Jinlang became apprentices, they were only allowed to take one treasure, but now the junior brother is allowed to take two treasures.
The Silver Wolf, who was very familiar with Sky-Swallowing Overlord's temperament, knew that in Sky-Swallowing Overlord's eyes, this junior brother's talent was far superior to both its and the Golden Wolf's.
Therefore, it is also important to establish a good relationship with my junior brother. It seems that this junior brother of mine has a great chance of becoming a Venerable in the future.
Of course Xu Yang was unaware of the discussions and thoughts outside the door. When he stepped into the thatched hut again, his mind was full of "treasures, treasures".
"For defense, I have the Huiyin Armor, and then I'll choose another one for attack and escape." Xu Yang already had a goal in mind and walked directly towards his favorite object.
The exquisite carvings on the table were like a lifelike attic. When he held it in his hand, electric arcs and flames kept jumping out and hitting his hand, making it numb. "What a treasure, a treasure of the palace. 'Lightning Flash', with this name, I think the speed must be good."
This is the first treasure that Xu Yang values, and it is also the most valuable among these treasures. When it comes to saving lives, the palace treasures are second to none, and no one dares to claim to be first.
From the smallest Universe Venerable to the strongest person in the universe, all use palace treasures and highly respect them. The only difference is the palace treasures they possess… The most powerful Universe Venerables are lucky enough to be able to use ordinary treasure palaces.
The strongest in the universe, at worst, would use the top palace treasures. Anything lower would be too useless to them, so it would be better not to use it.
The second treasure, Xu Yang looked at a set of weapons hanging on the left wall.
It's four claw sets.
