Chapter 321: Dragon King’s Treasures

"Thanks, but since I’ve come all the way here, I naturally have to look around." Qin Yun smiled as he looked at the Guardian General before he continued proceeding forward.

The Guardian General was helpless as he looked at Qin Yun’s departing back. "He really is the sort who doesn’t heed advice. Although His Majesty is dead, how can the treasures in the Dragon Palace be that easily taken?"

...

Although Qin Yun ignored the Guardian General’s advice, he did make sure to not act completely carelessly.

He definitely had what it took to forge a way in after all.

"Although the ancient Skydragon was powerful, my current strength is on the verge of the third Firmament Essence Soul realm," thought Qin Yun. "Besides, he has been dead for years. I don’t believe that the array formation he left behind could instantly kill me. Besides, my best techniques are definitely life preservation techniques."

He proceeded carefully. The inner palace complex was in a greater state of ruin than the exterior. After all, this was where the Other Realm Fiendcelestial had died.

The intense battle caused many places to collapse outright. Cracks littered the halls and intersected with each other.

Qin Yun constantly maintained his Dao domain.

"My Dao domain can completely wipe out any array formation made by a mortal! However, back in the Yellow Wyrm Grotto-heaven, my Dao domain was suppressed by the Other Realm Yellow Wyrm corpse. There are many spots in the Ancient Skydragon Palace’s inner palace complex that I similarly am unable to probe." Qin Yun knew that immortals and fiendcelestials had means to block out a Dao domain.

"Oh?" Qin Yun’s eyes suddenly lit up. The palace wall in front of him had opened up into a crack at the end. He could vaguely see the small parts of what was a massive corpse.

The interior palace complex was originally very strict and ordered. But after that final battle, many places had collapsed, producing many tiny shortcuts.

"Sou!"

Taking the shortcut offered by the crack, Qin Yun flew over and soon arrived at the end of the other ruin. There was a gigantic fish corpse lying among the ruins. It was dark yellow in color and resembled a mountain. It was about fifteen hundred meters long and the pressure it put on Qin Yun was also extremely intense. The massive corpse had experienced numerous slices, leaving ghastly wounds.

"The aura of this Essence Soul great demon is stronger than Black Dragon and Jadeface despite being dead. It’s likely a figure who was at the peak of the second Firmament Essence Soul realm during its time." Qin Yun looked at the fish corpse. "Judging by the wounds, it must have been attacked by the Other Realm Fiendcelestial’s claws."

"Its corpse is too big. My Cosmic Bag can’t hold it."

Qin Yun shook his head gently.

Following that, he carefully searched the surroundings. He stored away many of the treasures the great demon had left behind. The fish demon had left behind more treasures than Black Dragon and Jadeface combined!

...

After obtaining all the treasures of the ancient Essence Soul realm demon, Qin Yun continued.

Moments later.

He suddenly saw a lofty tower through a distant corridor’s crack. The tower was extremely massive and appeared to be the tallest building in the interior palace complex. There were three words written above the tower’s entrance—Myriad Treasure Tower.

"Myriad Treasure Tower?" Qin Yun’s heart stirred. "There is a saying that the East Sea’s Dragon race is the richest in the Four Seas and even the wealthiest in the world. Even if this Ancient Skydragon Palace can’t compete with the East Sea Dragon race who have accumulated resources for such a long period of time, it can’t be too inferior. This Myriad Treasure Tower must have been the treasure repository of the Ancient Skydragon Palace."

Every faction had a place that they would use to store away their treasures so that they could allocate them to juniors.

The Dragon Palace had large numbers of Water race soldiers! There were the dragon children as well...

They were given treasures in large numbers depending on their merit and talent.

At best, the ancient Skydragon would only keep the commonly-used Dharma treasures and certain extremely precious treasures with him. Those that were relatively normal would likely be left in the Myriad Treasure Tower.

"I might as well take a look." Qin Yun approached it rapidly.

The Myriad Treasure Tower was thankfully intact and did not suffer any damage. The main door to the tower was also shut.

"The more important a place, the more dangerous it is." Qin Yun proceeded warily. The Guardian General had also warned him. As he looked at the main door to the tower, he flicked his sleeve and sent out a beam of Sword Qi. It surged towards the main door and blasted it open with a rumble.

At the instant the main door was pushed open.

"Oh no."

Qin Yun was constantly monitoring his surroundings. When he sensed a change in energy activity, he immediately commanded with his mind.

Sou!

His Intrinsic Flying Sword immediately cast the Cyclic Sword Flash, protecting Qin Yun’s immediate surroundings.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The three words on the tower’s entrance blasted out black lightning bolts. Rich black lightning shot straight at Qin Yun, crashing against his huge Cyclic Sword Flash.

An array formation’s activation would result in a surge of energy at the instant it was triggered, so it naturally could not fool Qin Yun.

"The Guardian General was right. Places with important treasures are indeed dangerous. However, this lightning can probably be defended against with strength at the second Firmament Essence Soul realm," thought Qin Yun. His Cyclic Sword Flash warded off the black lightning strikes as he looked up. The lightning posed no threat to his Cyclic Sword Flash.

After the three words produced the smite of lightning, more than a hundred black lightning bolts were shot out consecutively before it finally came to rest.

Only then did Qin Yun continue deeper into the tower.

...

The Cyclic Sword Flash continued to protect him after he stepped into the Myriad Treasure Tower. However, he did not encounter any more danger.

"Oh?"

Qin Yun saw that most of the shelves in the Myriad Treasure Tower were empty. Standing a distance away on the first floor was the Guardian General from before.

"Brother Guardian General, what happened to the treasures here?" asked Qin Yun.

The Guardian General held his golden hammers by his waist while his glowing eyes looked amusingly at Qin Yun. "Human punk, I thought little of you at first. As a mortal cultivator, you actually managed to withstand a hundred and eight strikes of the Blackwater Divine Lightning. Impressive! His Majesty, the Dragon King split the treasures of the Myriad Treasure Tower into three sets. He did it this way so that they were suited to three people from a later generation who could enter the Myriad Treasure Tower. Since you are human, this is for you."

With that said, he threw a palm-sized Cosmic Bag towards Qin Yun.

Qin Yun reached out to grab it, and then opened it to take a look.

The palm-sized Cosmic Bag had an interior that spanned two thousand feet. It could even contain a hill. The items inside actually did form a hill. There were all sorts of Dharma treasures and weapons. They were of different grades with many of them being low-grade. They were probably prepared by the Dragon Palace for the Water race demons!

Other than the Dharma treasures, there were a massive number of rare resources. Many of them were things that could be mined from the sea, such as basin-sized pearls, or a giant Firejade Coral...

There were also a large number of pills! There were many bottles of pills, but Qin Yun believed that most of them would have lost their medicinal potency by this point. After all, a long time had passed! No matter how well-preserved they were, most of them would have lost their potency.

The most precious treasures were first-grade Dharma treasures, a total of five of them.

"Not a single transcendent-grade Dharma treasure?" Qin Yun could not help but laugh as he commented. "From the looks of it, I was given the worst share of the three portions because I’m human, is that so?"

"Yes," the Guardian General said matter-of-factly as he nodded. "Blame yourself for being the first to come here. If you were the third to arrive in the Myriad Treasure Tower and the two visitors before you were human and had taken a portion away, then the third and best portion would be left to you even if you were human. However, since you are human, you can only take the worst share."

Qin Yun smiled.

It was best being the first.

What he cared about most was the Other Realm Fiendcelestial corpse outside! He had many treasures, and the total amount of his wealth was probably many times more than the entire Myriad Treasure Tower. Besides, there were also a few Essence Soul realm demon corpses.

"Human punk, you have to understand that you were only able to receive this because His Majesty was willing to give it to you. If he wasn’t, you wouldn’t have received a single item," said the Guardian General. He flipped his hand and took out a bizarre dragon-shaped figurine. He threw it at Qin Yun and said, "Take this treasure well. This is the most precious treasure."

"Oh?" Qin Yun took it over.

A dragon-shaped figurine the size of a palm?

Qin Yun infused a sliver of Dharmic powers to probe the figurine.
