Standing at the entrance, Li Hong was shocked, a wave of joy surging in his heart.
Indeed, there were treasures.
This was a vast underground warehouse, completely opened up, with low walls forming rooms specifically for storing different categories of items. The low walls were only used for partitioning, and each warehouse had no doors, just an open gap of about six feet. One could see inside from outside the low walls. All these enclosed warehouse rooms varied in size and twisted around without wasting any space.
The deep yellow stone walls shone brightly under the illumination of huge Bronze Lamps hanging from the not-so-high ceiling, with various Strange Creatures inside each warehouse. The entire underground Treasury was filled with treasures of all colors reflecting off each other, and the Spiritual Energy was so thick it felt almost suffocating.
Chuxiong was standing at the low wall in front of one room. Inside was clearly visible: dozens of dark Clay jars, about half a person tall, aligned with the top edge of the low wall. Inside the jars were round objects reflecting red and purple light under the lamps, looking quite beautiful.
Chuxiong shouted, "What are these things!"
Li Hong stood at the entrance of this warehouse, his eyes wide open: "Eggs! So many eggs!"
There were all kinds of eggs; one large egg filled an entire jar, while four or five smaller ones were piled in another jar. Some were oval-shaped, some perfectly round, and surprisingly there were even a few square eggs about a foot in diameter stacked together. The colors ranged from deep purple to shiny black to bright red, a dazzling array. Some eggs were completely still as if they were dead. But some clearly showed signs of life within them. Particularly a few large ones that occasionally twitched as if they were about to hatch.
Chu Xi looked on in astonishment: "Why did the Ancient God put so many eggs here!" Then he realized: "Eggs of ancient mythical beasts! My goodness, some species might be unique!"
Li Hong thought of the lonely phoenix in Nine Li Cave Heaven!! Yin Li'er smiled: "Let's see if we can find a Phoenix Egg; that would be a huge fortune!"
There was a clear movement in Upper Dantian; Heavenly Torch awakened!! Or perhaps it had been pretending to sleep all along; anyway, it immediately shouted: "There are dragon eggs! Junior Brother, come over here and let me take a good look. We need to take all these eggs!"
Take them all? Li Hong was speechless. There were at least seventy or eighty warehouses here, each containing valuable items; they had only seen the first one so far. If they were going to take all the eggs, there would surely be even more treasures behind; how could his Cosmic Bag hold all that!
"Then let's just take the dragon eggs. As one of the last remaining seniors of the Middle-Earth Divine Dragon lineage, I absolutely cannot stand by and watch the descendants of the Divine Dragon be buried in this cursed place!" Heavenly Torch exclaimed angrily, shooting fireballs from within Fire Separation Pearl, fully awake.
"This warehouse also has eggs!" Chuxiong quickly turned to the opposite warehouse and took a quick glance inside before shouting again.
Chu Xi simply took out paper and pen to start recording.
In the five warehouses near the entrance, there were various types of eggs totaling no less than five or six hundred. In the last "egg storage," Li Hong indeed discovered a Phoenix Egg. It lay alone in a Clay jar, radiating brilliant flames with intense red light that sent hot air rising three to five feet above.
As for the dragon eggs, they indeed exist. Li Hong could not refuse Heavenly Torch, so he had no choice but to take out an empty large jar and place the five dragon eggs inside it, preparing to store them in the Cosmic Bag. However, after some thought, he warned Heavenly Torch, "This place is very suitable for storing items. These dragon eggs have clearly been alive for quite some time. Moreover, while these jars appear to be made of Clay, they should actually be magical treasures that can store the eggs of spiritual beasts for a long time. Look, even the high temperature from the Phoenix Egg has no effect here. If we move them into the Cosmic Bag, I worry that they might encounter problems due to environmental changes. Each egg represents a life; you need to think this through carefully!"
Heavenly Torch fell silent for a moment and then hesitantly said, "Then let's set them aside for now and continue looking inside. We might find a good treasure for storing these eggs!"
This statement made Li Hong's heart stir; indeed, as his personal belongings increased, the Cosmic Bag was becoming less suitable. Although only he could open the Cosmic Bag, it was not a life-bound treasure, meaning it had to be carried at all times and could not be refined into the Upper Dantian. With more and more battles occurring, if he were to accidentally lose it, all the precious items he had collected over the years could vanish. If there were magical treasures here, especially ones good for storage, he would do everything possible to acquire one.
"Thank you for your good words; I hope you don't have a jinx this time!" Li Hong said as he quickly signaled Chu Xi and Chuxiong to move forward.
The further they went inside, the more astonished the three became. This place was like a massive Treasury.
In this spacious warehouse, not only were there various spiritual beast eggs, but also all kinds of strange and rare spiritual herbs that were alive and thriving in what appeared to be Clay jars, nourished by a mixture of Supreme Celestial Stone powder and Five Elements Jade Liquid.
While the Jade Lotus in the Ancient Celestial Field was guarded by a group of at least celestial-level spiritual beasts, here it was planted in an enormous open Clay jar with no defenses whatsoever for anyone to pick. The entire jar shimmered with iridescence; leaning over it and taking a breath could provide immense benefits. There was also a ten-foot-high Purple Ganoderma; just looking at its thick mushroom caps with ancient patterns indicated it was at least one hundred thousand years old. One hundred thousand years of Purple Ganoderma—what does that even mean! They even discovered a jar containing Longan Flowers that had almost cost them their lives back in the Ancient Celestial Field. Compared to that lonely half-dead plant, here there was an entire jar with no less than ten plants inside, each not only large but also incredibly vibrant; the warehouse was ablaze with vitality as if it were on fire.
Countless spiritual herbs. Every single good item here would cause an uproar among the entire Immortal Sect if released.
Each warehouse was actually arranged with formations designed specifically for preserving items so that various spiritual herbs would not interfere with each other. Coupled with those specially made Clay jars, these items were preserved in perfect condition. No one knew how many years had passed; everything here remained in a state similar to when it was first moved in.
Chu Xi had filled up a large sheet of paper and began taking out another blank sheet, her expression reflecting the same ecstatic joy as Li Hong's face; however, gradually her face took on a thoughtful look.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Do you have a feeling that the items here are actually produced by our Middle-Earth and then collected by the Ancient Gods for proper preservation?" Chu Xi said while recording.
"Indeed. But why would they do that?"
"Do you remember what that senior who was teleported away said? He mentioned that our place called 'Wild Planet' produces many good things and has also caused a great anomaly, which is why cultivators from what he called the Divine Realm want to come here to find treasures. This is also related to a Great Secret of the Divine Realm concerning the Ancient Gods. This Great Secret seems yet to be uncovered; however, why did all the Ancient Gods leave? Why did they leave so many good things behind? Isn't that strange?" Chu Xi's pen gradually stopped moving as she wore an expression full of contemplation.
Li Hong noticed his initial excitement about finding treasures gradually calming down. Indeed, there was no reason for the Ancient Gods to leave these items behind unless... Li Hong chuckled and said, "I understand now! The Ancient Gods must have ascended to the celestial realm without having time to take these treasures with them!"
"Yes, yes, big brother is right, it must be so!" Chuxiong suddenly realized.
Li Hong was quite pleased with her explanation, wearing a smug smile.
However, Chu Xi gently shook her head. Before Li Hong could ask further, she pointed forward with her delicate finger: "Look, there's another level!"
The Treasury had reached its bottom, where there was an Azure Jade Gate.
As the three approached the door, still apprehensive about what mechanisms might be present, the door opened automatically, revealing a stone staircase leading down.
Standing at the entrance of the passage, Li Hong suddenly raised her eyebrows and turned to shout, "Did you feel that?!"
"I felt it! Here I come, treasure!" Chuxiong cheered and dashed down the steps.
Although Li Hong was almost going crazy with excitement, she still felt a strange sensation; entering here seemed too easy. Subconsciously, she glanced back as she stepped through the door.
She caught sight of a vague white Phantom in the center of the Treasury!
A bronze chandelier hung there, and the Phantom dangled beneath it. Surrounded by the rising aura of treasures, it looked like a faint outline—not very clear but distinctly separate from its surroundings. It was clearly a person!
Li Hong was taken aback and instinctively pushed the door back to go over, but the white Phantom suddenly vanished.
"What did you see? Is someone following us?" Chu Xi stopped and turned to ask.
So she felt it too! Although Li Hong could confirm that someone was indeed following them at this moment, she didn't want to raise alarm. With a slight smile, she said, "It's nothing; let's hurry and find the treasure." She pulled Chu Xi down the steps.
But inside her mind, she wondered: who could it be?
Whoever it was seemed to have no malicious intent; that much was certain. And...
Li Hong had a faint understanding of why the three of them could enter this place so easily.
In front of the door stood the Forbidden Stone Beast. When Chu Xi looked at Li Hong with a worried expression, Li Hong did not continue to harm himself. He coughed lightly and said slowly, "I think if we just push the door gently, it will definitely open." He pointed at the heavy Azure Jade Gate without any sign of Awareness.
As expected, the door opened effortlessly.
Li Hong smiled; what was lost in one area was gained in another. It seemed that even without the so-called expert in mechanisms from the Divine Realm, Nascent Soul, there were still others here. This "person" should know why the Ancient God abandoned so many treasures and left this place, as well as the so-called Great Secret that caused a stir throughout the Divine Realm.
The room was filled with a dazzling light, even more brilliant than the upper Treasury.
This level had no partitions at all. The vast stone chamber only had a narrow path, which was naturally formed, flanked by various Weapons and Treasures that made one's heart race at first glance.
These magical artifacts were astonishingly scattered on the ground, with some even piled into small mountains in the corners.
Sensing someone entering, many magical artifacts began to stir restlessly, their movements growing more vigorous. Suddenly, Chuxiong shouted, "I've found the treasure I want!"
In the Luminous Azure Light, a Mountain-Cleaving Axe rose slowly from the pile of Weapons and Treasures in an incredibly strange manner, soaring proudly into the air and hovering beneath a massive Bronze Lamp, displaying its magnificent front to the three of them.
The three inhaled sharply in unison.
