First Exploration
"Hey, you Winged Human Race brother up ahead," Lu Yan'an's voice suddenly rang out.
At this moment, the Winged Human Race Feng Wang who was strolling ahead was startled, then turned around and saw Lu Yan'an flying towards him.
"Hello, my name is Huan!" Lu Yan'an slowly landed in front of the Winged Human Race Feng Wang.
"My name is Tianyu." This Winged Human Race Feng Wang with azure eyes carefully examined Lu Yan'an before slowly speaking. However, his tone still unconsciously carried a hint of nobility, clearly indicating that this person's status was not low!
"I've never seen you before. Did you just arrive?" asked the Winged Human Race King Tianyu.
"Hmm, this is my first time visiting this Treasure Land." Lu Yan'an looked around and sighed. "I heard that this Treasure Land contains many treasures left by the predecessors of the Ancestral God Religion. I came here to find out where the treasures are, but I found that I don't know a single person here!"
"Hahaha, this is a common problem among newcomers," the Winged Human Race King Tianyu, laughed with a rather familiar air.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yan'an looked at him. "Is there a problem?"
"There are treasures everywhere here," the Winged Human Race King Tianyu said, pointing in all directions. "Almost every mountain peak and every lake around here holds treasures."
"They have them all?" Lu Yan'an looked at it, somewhat stunned.
Although the mountains and lakes are vast—potentially tens of thousands of peaks and thousands of lakes—if each one holds treasure, how much treasure would there be?
"Every newcomer who comes here has probably heard about the treasures in this treasure-hunting place, but most people have only heard that the 108 highest peaks here contain the 108 most precious treasures!" As he spoke, King Tianyu pointed to the very obvious, extremely high peaks in the distance. Those 108 peaks were clearly taller than the other peaks.
"Almost all inheritors know that those 108 mountain peaks contain the 108 most precious treasures that the Ancestral God Religion has kept since the birth of the universe. Of these 108 treasures, 35 have been taken away by some lucky individuals since the birth of the universe. The most recent one was 100,000 epochs ago, when a lucky Special Lifeform actually obtained a Supreme Treasure."
Although Lu Yan'an had learned about these things from the original novel, listening to King Tianyu's account still made him feel a surge of excitement. To be honest, the Ancestral God Religion's treasure trove was probably one of the easiest places to obtain Supreme Treasure. As long as you met the conditions set by the treasure's owner, even a mere World Lord could still obtain Supreme Treasure.
Therefore, Lu Yan'an nodded in response to what King Tianyu had said, indicating that he understood.
"As newcomers here, let's forget about the top 108 treasures. Let's try our luck elsewhere," King Tianyu laughed. "The more precious the treasure, the more complex the opening conditions. If we knew the conditions, we could try our best. The worst part is that none of us know what harsh conditions those super-powerful individuals set when they created these treasures. So we can only rely on luck. Maybe we'll find a treasure that suits us. Even the weakest treasure here... is worth more than an Ordinary Heavy Treasure."
In the Treasure Land, there are many who King-level Immortal, but there are also quite a few Universe Venerable.
After all, many of the inheritors are Universe Venerable, and many of the Outer Member the Ancestral God Religion Sect are also Universe Venerable. Therefore, in the Treasure Land, the ratio of King-level Immortal to Universe Venerable is almost 1000:1. There are many King-level Immortal, but there are also quite a few Universe Venerable.
"Sigh, it's been so long since any new treasures have appeared. If only I could open one..." Two Alien Race Venerable swept through the air. One of them released his aura, suppressing the gathered King-level Immortal around him, forcing them to prostrate themselves. The other was not to be outdone, and the surrounding spacetime was even distorted under the crushing force of their auras.
Those who had been granted the Feng Wang in the distance quickly scattered upon seeing this; such people existed everywhere. Therefore, under normal circumstances, when the Universe Venerable passed by, the King-level Immortal would naturally give way a little.
"What kind of pipe dream are you having? Opening a treasure trove? We've explored this treasure land countless times, we should have given up long ago. Stop dreaming, isn't it more satisfying to bully those little Feng Wang like this? Isn't that more practical than opening a treasure trove?" another Monster Race Venerable chimed in.
"That's true, there's nothing to look forward to about opening the treasure anymore. But the scene when the treasure is revealed will truly be breathtaking." The snake-tailed Alien Race's triangular eyes were full of anticipation. "These King Level guys are so much fun to tease. I love seeing their frustrated yet helpless expressions."
On the other side, when Lu Yan'an and King Tianyu arrived at the 108th highest mountain peak, the two wicked Monster Race Venerable had just left, thus avoiding a conflict between them.
He and King Tianyu landed directly on the highest mountain peak.
"Huan, I told you there was no need to come here, there's absolutely no hope! Why won't you listen?" Even though they had already arrived at this place, King Tianyu was still nagging.
"Didn't you say before that getting the treasure mainly depends on two things? First, meeting the treasure's conditions. Second, coming to the treasure's location. Let's not even talk about whether we meet the treasure's conditions, we should at least come and try! If we don't get it, it's just a trip, no big loss. But what if the treasure is opened? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?" Lu Yan'an laughed.
"That's true. The super-strong individuals in the Ancestral God Religion can leave behind treasures hidden in certain places, and they also set conditions after hiding them. As long as a strong person who meets the conditions goes to the location of the treasure, the treasure will be opened automatically. Although the possibility is very small, what if you really meet the conditions?"
After hearing Lu Yan'an's explanation, King Tianyu had nothing to say. The main reason he didn't want to come to the 108 highest peaks was that he didn't want to encounter those Alien Race Universe Venerable. Once he did, he would definitely be caught and bullied! You must know that King Tianyu was a powerful expert at the limit of the Feng Wang. Even if he was bullied by Venerable, he would still lose face.
Upon seeing Lu Yan'an and King Tianyu appear atop the highest peak, many inheritors turned their gazes to the two. However, when they discovered that these two newcomers were merely Immortal Level beings, they quickly withdrew their attention. They reasoned that those who dared to roam near this highest peak were at least Universe Venerable; what trouble could two mere Immortals possibly cause?
Lu Yan'an's first target was the highest peak. To this end, he had specifically logged into the Glory World and demonstrated his combat power and the level of his understanding of the inheritance to the Ancestral God Religion's system.
Because the 108 highest peaks of the entire Treasure Land contain 108 of the most precious treasures, but only 35 of them have been obtained by those who inherited them in history, while the rest are still waiting for destined beings.
"Good heavens, a mere Immortal dares to come to this highest peak? Truly, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers! Judging from the looks of it, he must be a newcomer. Only a newcomer would have such a boundless sense of propriety."
"What need is there for an immortal to come here? A bunch of Venerable wander around here every day and none of them have actually opened this treasure. That's called lacking self-awareness! I hate people like this who come here to try their luck. And even if they do open the treasure, they don't use their brains to think that those Venerable will just stand by and watch them take away the Supreme Treasure. Impossible!"
"The Treasure Land contains 108 of the highest peaks, each holding one of the most precious treasures. And now, we're heading straight for the highest peak? Are all the new humans these days so ambitious?"
Lu Yan'an ignored the gossip of the other Venerable and followed King Tianyu directly to the highest peak.
"The highest peak also represents the strongest treasure. It is said that the treasure was placed there by the Ancestral God himself." Lu Yan'an stood on the summit of the mountain and walked around the area, but did not cause any disturbance.
According to the normal rules, as long as the conditions are met on a certain mountain peak, the treasure will be automatically unlocked.
Clearly, Lu Yan'an did not cause any change in the highest peak, which means...
It failed!
However, he wasn't surprised at all. As the number one treasure within the Ancestral God Religion, it was normal for it to have extremely high conditions. If it couldn't be opened here, then he would continue downwards. Surely, among these 108 peaks, there would be two treasures that he met the conditions for! Lu Yan'an didn't believe that with his talent, he couldn't even open one treasure.
