Chapter 824
Unlocking the Mountain Treasure
This is the instinct of all ferocious beasts, and also an important method for various races to protect their heritage, unchanged throughout the ages.
Throughout history, countless powerful individuals have hunted ferocious beasts, only to obtain their flesh and fur; very few have been able to inherit the precious bones of top-tier ferocious beasts.
Unfortunately, Qiongqi and the Devouring Sky Sparrow were unlucky today and encountered Jiang Hao, so they didn't even have the chance to destroy their own inheritance.
Huang Yunfeng carefully wrapped the two precious bones in layers of animal hide and put them away for safekeeping, his face full of excitement.
In just one day, the desolate village reaped a series of unparalleled opportunities, and its resources increased dramatically, which made him extremely happy.
After carefully storing the precious bone, the villagers gathered back around the campfire, busily preparing the beast's food, their laughter echoing throughout the village.
On the other side, Jiang Hao quietly held the mountain treasure in his palm, the one that had attracted the four top-tier ferocious beasts to fight to the death.
This is a hexagonal bone box, pure white, resembling bone but not quite, with a warm, lustrous sheen like jade. Faint, ancient patterns are engraved on its surface.
Surrounded by a soft, shimmering white light, warm and dazzling, it exudes a subtle aura of the Great Dao, appearing both sacred and extraordinary.
The little boy, along with a group of children from a deserted village, surrounded Jiang Hao. Each of them stared intently at the mountain treasure in his palm with wide, round eyes, their faces full of innocent amazement.
"What a beautiful baby! It's sparkly, like the moon in the sky!"
"Yes, it's really beautiful!"
The children, innocent and naive, could not see the supreme value contained in the mountain treasure, nor could they perceive the heaven-defying inheritance lurking within. They simply thought the thing was dazzling and beautiful, and felt joy in their hearts.
The little red bird fluttered its crimson wings and landed on Jiang Hao's shoulder. Its bright eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation as it stared intently at the mountain treasure. It was very curious.
Although the four overlords fought tooth and nail for this mountain treasure, they didn't actually know what was inside.
All that is known is that there is a powerful legacy within, which can enable them to continue to break through and become stronger, eventually becoming gods.
This has been a legend in the Great Wilderness for a long time. But how to open it, and what exactly is hidden inside, no one can say for sure.
Unable to contain its curiosity, the little red bird asked softly, "Sir, do you know what's hidden inside this mountain treasure?"
Jiang Hao looked down at the little red bird on his shoulder and nodded gently: "I know."
He tilted his head slightly, looking at the little red bird with its expectant eyes. "Want to see?"
The little red bird's red feathers stood on end slightly, and it nodded its head sharply, "Yes!"
The bird's eyes shone brightly, filled with eagerness and anticipation.
Not only Little Red Bird, but also the group of children looked at Jiang Hao with expectant faces, clearly wanting to know what was inside.
"Then I'll show you."
Without further hesitation, Jiang Hao raised his hand and formed a hand seal. Six completely different and dazzling rays of light instantly appeared on his right hand, which then struck the mountain treasure simultaneously.
hum!
A deep and resonant Daoist chant echoed throughout the heavens and earth, as if it came from countless ages ago, reverberating across the entire desolate mountain forest.
The once dormant, snow-white precious bone suddenly burst forth with boundless immortal light, chaotic energy surged and rose, and auspicious colors fell from the sky, illuminating the dark deep mountain.
The ancient patterns on the surface all lit up, crisscrossing like the revived patterns of heaven and earth, sacred and majestic.
"Click..."
A crisp, subtle cracking sound rang out, exceptionally clear in the silent mountain forest.
One of the bone plates of the mountain treasure derailed automatically without warning and slowly floated up, revealing the mysterious space inside.
The seemingly small bone box contained a hidden world inside, a vast and boundless space dotted with rosy light. Several ancient, yellowed animal hides floated on the surface, each one imprinted with dense golden Daoist runes, exuding an aura of the Great Dao.
Seeing Jiang Hao open the Mountain Treasure, the little red bird beside him was completely stunned. Its petite body stiffened slightly, its eyes filled with shock, and it couldn't recover for a long time.
It never expected that the method to unlock the treasure would be so demanding!
They actually unleashed six top-tier magical techniques simultaneously!
What kind of incredible conditions are these?
Throughout the entire Eight Domains Wilderness, any force that masters a top-tier magical technique can become a king and a hegemon who can awe the world.
Mastering two skills will secure you a place at the top of the Great Wilderness, where no one will dare to provoke you.
Those with three or more gates are already legendary, supreme beings.
To unlock this mountain treasure, one must simultaneously activate six completely different top-tier treasure techniques!
Who can meet this requirement?
As a descendant of the Vermilion Bird and a national guardian spirit worshipped by the Yan Kingdom, it possesses extraordinary heritage and noble bloodline, yet it only masters two top-tier inherited treasure techniques.
Looking across the entire Yan Kingdom, and even the entire world, there is no one who can simultaneously master six top-tier magical techniques.
Let alone using them simultaneously, even combining six top-tier magical techniques would be absolutely impossible!
"This is way too difficult..."
At that moment, the little red bird finally understood.
No wonder this mountain treasure, which contains a mysterious inheritance, has attracted powerful figures to fight to the death for countless years, yet no one has ever been able to open it.
Such stringent activation conditions are simply beyond the reach of ordinary living beings.
The little red bird murmured to itself, "Perhaps only this lord in the entire Lower Realm could do this..."
Jiang Hao reached out and took out several yellowed animal hides from the mountain treasures. The hides were extremely thin and light, as if they would crumble into dust at the slightest touch. The hides were branded with dense golden Daoist characters, each character extremely small and dense, exuding an ancient and profound aura.
The little boy led a group of children over, all craning their necks to try and see what was written on the animal skins.
"There are so many small characters, I can't understand a single one." The little one tilted his head and frowned.
"Uncle Jiang, what does it say on this?"
The little red bird also came over and landed beside Jiang Hao's hand, its black bean-like eyes fixed on the animal skins, its eyes full of expectation and curiosity.
Huang Yunfeng, along with several elderly people, also gathered around, their faces solemn.
This is a mountain treasure, a peerless treasure that has been passed down through the Great Wilderness, something that countless powerful figures have fought to the death for.
But when they saw those few yellowed animal hides, their expressions became somewhat subtle.
Zhu Yan also shrank in size and squatted down beside him, his big eyes darting around.
Although the animal hides have these runes, if you ignore the intricate runes and look at the appearance alone, they are just a few old, yellowed animal hides, without any earth-shattering phenomena or the dazzling divine power of a treasure that one might imagine.
Zhu Yan stared at the animal hides for a while, his initial burning excitement gradually cooling down. His furry brows furrowed tightly, and his face was full of confusion and disappointment.
It couldn't help but speak, its voice filled with obvious disappointment: "Sir, is this what's inside the mountain treasure? It looks... just average."
The little red bird nodded in agreement, its voice filled with disappointment, and murmured softly, "So, all there is in the mountain treasure are these few animal hides...?"
They fought tooth and nail for this mountain treasure, expending so much effort, thinking it contained a supreme divine object that could shake the heavens and earth or a peerless opportunity for a complete transformation.
But to everyone's surprise, the final result was so ordinary.
Not to mention the awe-inspiring aura of supreme inheritance and peerless treasures, not even the power of ordinary magical techniques was revealed, which was extremely disappointing.
