The first thing that caught his eye was the crystal stone, as towering as a mountain, all made of chaotic crystals, their divine brilliance almost blinding.
Fist-sized Chaos Spirit Stones piled up into a hundred-zhang mountain. Excited, Guo Ran dove into the mountain, rolling back and forth as if in a dream.
Long Chen and Xia Chen were also thrilled; they could hardly believe their eyes. There were so many Chaos Spirit Stones here, and all of them were good quality, with not a single bit of waste.
Not to mention Guo Ran, even Long Chen wanted to pinch himself to see if he was dreaming. It seemed he had never been this lucky in his life, getting whatever he wanted.
These Chaos Spirit Stones amounted to hundreds of millions. Long Chen was like a destitute beggar who had instantly gained a mountain of gold, yet everything felt so illusory.
"Got rich, got rich!" Xia Chen shouted in surprise, clutching a handful of spirit stones and tossing them into the sky as if he had gone mad.
"No, this is just one of the treasure vaults." Xia Chen suddenly looked at the wall ahead, his face full of surprise and delight.
"There's also a treasure trove?" Guo Ran crawled out from the pile of spirit stones, his eyes instantly shining.
"Whoosh"
Long Chen immediately stored all the Chaos Spirit Stones into the Chaos Space. At this moment, Xia Chen had already arrived at the wall, took out a formation plate, placed it on the wall, and began to decipher the runes on it.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Suddenly, the walls retracted to both sides, revealing a treasure vault, which was also piled with Chaos Spirit Stones.
However, when they saw these Chaos Spirit Stones, Long Chen and the other two felt their hearts stop. Although they were also Chaos Spirit Stones, their auras were completely different. The moment the treasury door opened, a vast chaotic energy surged forth.
The three of them approached the pile of Chaos spirit stones. Long Chen grabbed one and found it was the same size as the previous stone, but the mist inside was different.
The mist inside the spirit stones before wasn't as dense, and here, the mist inside the stones flowed slowly. The feeling between the two was worlds apart.
Within the latter, there seemed to be some strange law attached, more spiritual, as if it had its own life and could feel a strange rhythm.
"It seems that Chaos Spirit Stones also come in grades and grades. These should be high-grade Chaos Spirit Stones. This time, they've really made a fortune." Long Chen exclaimed in surprise.
The Chaos Spirit Stones here are much fewer than outside, though still in the millions. However, their rarity is probably no less than those low-grade Chaos Spirit Stones.
"Crack, crack, crack... Long
Chen had just put away these high-grade Chaos spirit stones when Xia Chen opened another large door, which was still filled with spirit stones.
"Boom..."
The moment the gate opened, a terrifying air current surged, causing the three to stagger and nearly fly away.
"Wow, what grade of Chaos Spirit Stone is this?"
Guo Ran said in shock. There was a pile of spirit stones here, only a few hundred stones taller than a person.
The energy inside the spirit stone no longer appeared as mist, but instead flowed back and forth like water. Its fluctuations were many times stronger than the so-called high-grade Chaos Spirit Stones before.
"I misspoke. Previously, there were low-grade and mid-grade, but this should be the upper grade." Long Chen grabbed a high-grade Chaos spirit stone, his heart pounding wildly.
Within this Chaos Spirit Stone was a terrifying power, like the core of a star. If released directly, it could destroy an entire world.
"This time we've really made it rich. This high-grade Chaos spirit stone contains the sound laws of heaven and earth, like a microcosm of a world. If you use it to help your brothers, you can surely activate the chaotic phenomenon and root in the myriad paths." Long Chen's hand trembling as he gripped the Chaos Spirit Stone, exclaiming excitedly.
Of course, Long Chen was excited. He hadn't expected that in this life, he would have moments of extraordinary luck. It seemed the Saint King's fortune was truly extraordinary—his bad luck had finally been shaken off.
Guo Ran and Xia Chen were also excited, but Long Chen was the first to stay calm and said to Xia Chen,
"We need to clean up here as soon as possible. Take everything we can. If the living beings here notice, it will be troublesome."
Xia Chen nodded. Now was not the time to celebrate; the only way was to take the treasure and escape back to Nieying Heaven. It wouldn't be too late to get excited.
Xia Chen used the formation disk to continuously open the treasure vault here, but unfortunately, the armory, like the previous ruins, was almost completely emptied, leaving little to spare.
According to Long Chen's guess, when the final battle arrives, the Zhantian Divine Sect will surely not hold back at all; all divine weapons will be brought out to fight.
However, what excited Xia Chen and Guo Ran was that the materials warehouse contained many highly refined divine materials, many of which were immortal gold and divine iron used to forge immortal divine weapons. The two of them instantly delighted and looted all the materials.
Unfortunately, many treasure vaults were destroyed in the battle, and Long Chen hadn't found any cultivation techniques or battle skills, nor even collected pills or rare medicines, which left him a bit disappointed.
After all, many of the rare herbs here are remnants of ancient times, almost extinct from the outside world. If he could obtain these rare herbs, that would be impressive—Long Chen could refine even more powerful pills.
"What is this?"
Suddenly, in a treasury, the three saw countless strange armored monsters. Their bodies varied in size, with odd shapes and strange runes.
"I understand. They're puppets, but they're not combat-type—they seem to be mining puppets." Xia Chen saw these puppets and exclaimed with delight.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Opening another treasury, they saw armored monsters appearing, each wielding a sharp weapon, exuding a murderous aura that made anyone who saw them shiver.
"These must be combat-type puppets. Wow, the runes on their bodies are so intricate." Guo Ran looked at these battle puppets, his heart pounding wildly, and he suddenly became interested. Perhaps in the future, his battle armor could be used to learn from them.
However, these combat-type puppets all seemed to have problems. The pile here was likely some defective products, and the surrounding treasury was empty. Clearly, the powerful combat puppets had gone out to fight.
Even so, Guo Ran and Xia Chen still carefully put them away. They both had an idea: if they could create powerful puppets, wouldn't they be able to sweep across the world in the future?
When collecting the puppets, they found that these puppets all needed to be powered by Chaos Spirit Stones. In other words, as long as they had Chaos Spirit Stones, they could cultivate a powerful army of puppets.
After looting all the treasure vaults, the three returned to the main hall. Xia Chen didn't stand on ceremony and took away all the formation disks from the floating platform one by one. He needed to study these disks carefully and believed they would yield great gains.
"Boom!"
Just as the three were about to leave, the ground suddenly trembled, a terrifying aura surged, and Long Chen's expression changed:
"Not good, it seems we've been exposed."
