The Land of Treasure

After Wu Qingfeng left, he decided to try his luck at the treasure land.

After all, he doesn't have enough Glory Points to comprehend the inheritance right now.

It would be better to go to the treasure land first. With his talent and luck, he should be able to get a top-tier treasure as a safety net.

Once he becomes famous, naturally many people will dislike him and want to challenge and bully him. Why would he be afraid of not having enough Glory Points to learn from him?

Shi Heng's clone moved in a flash, stepping into the entrance fountain of the central treasure area, and appeared atop a mountain peak.

He looked up and gazed into the distance, seeing mountain peaks, some precipitous as blades piercing the sky, others strangely ethereal, shrouded in mist, stretching as far as the eye could see. Interspersed among these peaks were lakes, some large, some small, ranging in size from over a million kilometers in diameter with vast expanses of turquoise water to delicate, translucent jade fragments. Each lake possessed its own unique charm; some were crystal clear emeralds, like giant pieces of jade suspended among the mountains, shimmering in the sunlight and reflecting the verdant peaks; others were pitch black, still and undisturbed, like a deep abyss capable of swallowing all light, exuding an air of mystery and enigma.

Shi Heng's clone looked up at the sky and saw that in the void at the very top, streaks of brilliant aurora were constantly flying back and forth. As the light and shadow flowed, they exuded a powerful force of law. Clearly, this treasure land was also within the coverage of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

"That makes sense." Shi Heng thought to himself, "The treasure land is said to contain a vast amount of treasures. Such an important place would surely be carefully hidden in the safest area by the Ancestral God Sect. Otherwise, if a super being from the outside world were to forcibly descend and take away the entire treasure land, it would become a laughing stock in the universe."

Whoosh! Shi Heng's clone lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his figure soared up like a streak of light, traversing the skies above numerous mountain peaks. From his vantage point, he looked down and saw figures scattered across the mountain peaks, their slopes, valleys, lakesides, lakes, and even the depths of the water. There were ferocious and powerful beings of flesh and blood, solid and steady beings of rock, ethereal and formless beings of energy, and verdant and vibrant beings of plants... Countless races existed, including many rare and unique life forms.

Those enormous demon races and plant life forms all shrank their original forms, transforming into sizes similar to humans, clearly adhering to the rules of the Ancestral Mystic Realm. "It's like a grand gathering of billions of races," Shi Heng's clone chuckled inwardly. "Although I've seen many races on the outer battlefields, compared to this, they are nothing but small fry."

Although he was familiar with the original plot, this was the first time he had ever seen so many previously unrecorded tribes and special life forms. Swoosh! Shi Heng's clone swooped down and landed steadily on the summit of a mountain. He found a flat boulder and sat down cross-legged.

He gazed at the surrounding mountains and rivers, a mountain breeze caressing his face, carrying a faint aura of law, which was quite pleasant. However, he secretly pondered, "It is said that the treasure land is full of treasures, but only the highest 108 peaks are the starting point of the ultimate treasures, which is of the greatest value to me. Moreover, according to the original work and the information I have looked up, each person should only be able to open one treasure at most."

Shi Heng's clone stood up and flew directly to the highest peak of the 108 peaks.

The first peak was majestic and towering, its summit shrouded in a thick aurora barrier, with powerful fluctuations of laws swirling around it. After carefully circling the first peak without any movement, Shi Heng understood the situation in his mind and, without lingering, turned and flew towards the second peak.

On the second peak, Shi Heng's clone tried to resonate with the laws, but the stone platform didn't react at all. Instead, it faintly emitted a repulsive force, clearly indicating that the treasure on the second peak wasn't prepared for him either. Undeterred, he flashed and arrived at the foot of the third peak.

Unlike the first two peaks, the third peak lacked the heavy aurora barrier and the overwhelming pressure of laws. Instead, it was surrounded by a faint halo of light and time intertwined. A gentle breeze caused the halo to swirl, creating a strong resonance with the light and time fusion law within him, as if an invisible force was calling to him. Shi Heng's clone was overjoyed and quickly leaped up, landing steadily on the summit of the third peak.

The entire mountain shook instantly, the commotion of the treasure opening drawing countless gazes. Most of the powerful figures on the third peak wore ferocious expressions, their eyes gleaming with wild joy: "It must be me! I'm definitely the owner of the treasure!"

The Five-Colored Aurora Lake emitted countless rays of light, sweeping away the powerful figures on the third peak. Only Shi Heng's clone remained standing atop the peak.

A ring with a smooth, lustrous surface, shimmering with the silvery sheen of light and time. The ring is engraved with intricate animal patterns, and faint animal roars can be heard from it.

A thought entered my mind: "I am the Light-Time Beast God. We eight Beast Gods were born at the dawn of the universe, born as fourth-order universe masters. For countless epochs since, our understanding of the laws has been difficult to improve. Only I, disregarding life and death, traversed countless epochs in the perilous realms of the cosmic sea, enduring trials of life and death, finally fusing with the laws to become a fifth-order universe master, wielding the Light-Time Law, traversing the endless ages of the universe. However, the Beast Gods have been repeatedly besieged and killed. I know that even as the strongest born Beast God, a fifth-order universe master, I cannot escape this calamity. Therefore, in a remote secret realm of the universe, I used the supreme palace treasure 'Light-Time Evolution Palace,' obtained from a forbidden area in the cosmic sea, as my legacy..." "Inheriting the core, supplemented by the secret techniques and treasures I've accumulated throughout my life, I've hidden them within this inheritance, leaving them to my successor, hoping they will carry on my will and carry forward the Way of the Light-Time Fusion Law. The Ancestral God Sect has built a treasure trove, and I've placed the discarded high-grade, supreme domain treasure, the Starlight Sea, into the world ring that serves as the key to this inheritance. My successor must possess unparalleled comprehension and talent, a genetic level a thousand times higher, and reach the fourth level of the Light-Time Inheritance within ten eras to obtain the key. After completing all this, I will go to the Cosmic Sea to undergo a trial of life and death. If I succeed, we will meet again; if I fail, even death and the dissipation of my soul will be without regret, far better than the shame of being surrounded, killed, and torn apart!"

Upon reading this message, Shi Heng's clone was utterly shocked. He hadn't expected that the treasure of the Third Peak was actually the legacy of the First Generation Light-Time Beast God! The First Generation Beast God was a top-tier powerhouse who existed since the dawn of the universe. Fifth-tier Beast Gods were the pinnacle of the universe's rulers within the primordial universe, and this Light-Time Beast God was the strongest among them. The value of his legacy far surpassed this high-grade supreme domain treasure. The core of the Light-Time Beast God's legacy was itself a top-tier supreme treasure!

This is a huge windfall, but the requirements for opening this treasure trove are ridiculously high. Most of the special life forms with a thousand times the genetic level are unique individuals in the universe, extremely rare. It also requires the fourth level of the Light-Time Fusion Law Inheritance within ten epochs—a requirement for a Venerable-level being. With that kind of comprehension, becoming a master of the universe is highly probable; no wonder no one has been able to open the first three peaks throughout countless epochs.

Just as Wu Qingfeng was about to leave, countless greedy, jealous, and shocked gazes fell upon him. A demon race cosmic sovereign blocked his way: "Human? You're actually a realm lord! What kind of supreme treasure did you obtain? The Third Peak... could it be a high-grade supreme treasure?"

Wu Qingfeng gave him a cold glance: "A supreme treasure, so what? You dare to steal it? Get lost!"

"You're courting death!" The demon lord was furious. He hadn't expected a mere lord to dare treat him like this, and he charged directly at Wu Qingfeng.

Wu Qingfeng took out the strongest fire god crystal, which he had prepared with points before coming to the Ancestral God Sect.

It's not that I'm afraid of him; I might not be able to kill a low-level Venerable, but I can definitely suppress him. It's just that he is, after all, a Realm Lord. If I were to expose my strength, it would inevitably attract countless troubles. If I can suppress a Venerable, even a top overlord might not be able to annihilate me. And the Lord of the Universe wouldn't dare to come to the Ancestral God Sect to assassinate him; that would be courting death. In that case, the one who comes to assassinate this heaven-defying Realm Lord genius is very likely to be the strongest being in the universe.

The demon lord froze upon seeing the object. It wasn't that he was afraid of it; at most, this thing could injure a peak-level King-rank expert, posing no threat to him, a mere beginner lord. However, because of his impact, the explosion could kill or even just injure this realm lord, and he too would be annihilated by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. He wasn't about to make a losing deal.

Wu Qingfeng smiled contemptuously: "If you don't have the guts, don't be arrogant. Demon race, ha."

The demon lord angrily said, "Human brat, you've got guts. You'd better not leave Purple Thorn Island again."

Wu Qingfeng didn't bother with him. He teleported directly to the exit and went back to his residence. He still needed to comprehend the treasure, so he didn't have time to deal with this kind of trash.
