Obtaining the Treasure, Harsh Conditions

The Ancestral Dragon Clone moved very fast, arriving at the First Peak where the First Treasure was located in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately, there was no unusual activity at the First Treasure, but the Ancestral Dragon Clone was not disappointed and quickly flew towards another mountain peak.

And so, the Ancestral Dragon Clone flew over one mountain after another.

At first, these mountains showed no abnormalities, but after the Ancestral Dragon Clone stepped onto the fourth highest mountain—

"Boom!"

The entire mountain peak trembled instantly, attracting the attention of countless powerful figures in the Treasure Land, and the entire Treasure Land was thrown into a frenzy.

"The mountains are shaking!"

"Treasure! It must be treasure!"

"It's the fourth-ranked treasure!"

"The treasure of the Fourth Peak, second only to the three highest peaks, I wonder what kind of priceless Supreme Treasure it might contain!"

As the fourth mountain peak trembled more and more violently, it quickly attracted the attention of countless Inheritors from the Treasure Land. They all took to the air and flew towards the fourth peak.

In an instant, the figures of powerful beings from all races in the vast universe could be seen in all directions.

On this fourth mountain peak, countless powerful individuals were also strolling around.

"A treasure! A treasure has been unearthed!"

"The mountains are shaking!"

"Hahaha, it must be me! This treasure is definitely mine! I've just broken through to the sixth level of the Beast God Path!"

At the summit of the fourth mountain, the Inheritors were all incredibly excited, for they all felt they had unlocked a treasure trove.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh----"

Above this fourth mountain peak, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake also began to undergo astonishing changes.

In an instant, countless Five-Colored Aurora began to spin wildly, just like a colorful vortex.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Soon, thousands of Five-Colored Aurora fell from the sky, each reaching tens of thousands of kilometers in height.

These Five-Colored Aurora, like colorful shooting stars falling, instantly enveloped the entire mountain peak, looking like a colorful beaded curtain, a truly magnificent sight.

This breathtaking scene inspired countless Inheritors around, who longed to take his place!

However, the Five-Colored Aurora contained incredible power; a few Aurora could easily annihilate Universe Venerable, let alone the protective shield formed by countless Aurora!

"Be mine!"

"It must be mine!"

Enveloped in the Five-Colored Aurora, the Inheritors on the Four Peaks were all extremely excited, and they secretly prayed in their hearts.

But then, powerful forces erupted instantly, sweeping these people away.

"No!"

"How is that possible!"

"No! The treasure is mine!"

All the Inheritors screamed hysterically.

Outside the mountain peak.

"Who? Who exactly triggered the treasure?"

They've all been kicked out!

"Look! Ancestral Dragon Venerable hasn't come out, so he must have opened the treasure! I knew he hadn't been here for tens of thousands of years, so his arrival now must mean he was confident! And it seems that's indeed the case!"

"If it's the Ancestral Dragon Venerable, that makes sense. I heard he only took tens of thousands of years to advance from a fourth-level Inheritors to a sixth-level Inheritors. It's probably because his cultivation was so fast that he was able to unlock this treasure!"

"This Fourth Peak must be the most precious Supreme Treasure ever unlocked by the Ancestral God Religion Sect! I wonder what it is!"

A group of Inheritors were discussing among themselves, their words filled with envy, relief, and even jealousy!

Within the area covered by this Five-Colored Aurora Lake, everything within the entire Four Peaks was completely sealed off.

The reason why the Five-Colored Aurora Lake does this is naturally to maintain secrecy!

It is guaranteed that once the Inheritors has obtained the conditions to open the treasure obtains it, no one else besides the Five-Colored Aurora Lake will know about this newly discovered treasure.

Otherwise, if others learn that the Inheritors has obtained the treasure, it will surely arouse their greed.

However, the treasures on the 108 peaks are already incredibly precious, each one comparable to Supreme Treasure. Even if the information about the treasures is kept secret, it will still arouse the greed of countless people. Moreover, the Fourth Peak has been opened at this time. Theoretically, apart from the first three peaks where the Three Ancestral Gods left their treasures, this treasure is the most precious.

If the treasure is obtained by an extremely powerful individual, that's fine. But if the individual who obtains the treasure isn't very strong, they will definitely be targeted.

And so, the mountain continued to tremble.

The Ancestral Dragon Clone stood alone atop the fourth mountain peak, watching a boulder about five hundred meters high slowly rise before him, eventually hovering directly in front of him.

"I wonder what kind of treasure is hidden within this mountain peak?"

The Ancestral Dragon Clone was quite surprised that he was able to unlock the treasure on the fourth mountain peak, but at this moment, all he felt was anticipation.

Just after the boulder hovered in front of the Ancestral Dragon Clone, an ancient black ring slowly flew out from a dark cave ahead and then hovered directly in front of the Ancestral Dragon Clone.

Upon seeing this, the Ancestral Dragon Clone immediately reached out and took the ancient black ring, then imprinted his divine power mark upon it.

The materials used in this black World Ring are extremely unusual; it's impossible to tell what they are made of.

However, the Ancestral Dragon Clone could sense that this World Ring was quite precious. Unless deliberately attacked, even a battle at the level of a Universe Lord would not easily destroy this World Ring.

The World Ring is quite special; if destroyed from the inside, it would be extremely simple and easy to do.

As for external destruction, that depends on the materials used to forge the World Ring; the more precious the materials, the more difficult it is to destroy.

After imprinting the divine power onto the World Ring, the Ancestral Dragon Clone immediately released a wisp of divine power to permeate it.

Within the World Ring, a vast world stretched out before them, surrounded by nothingness, with only a boundless continent at its center.

At the very center of this vast continent, there floats a gigantic hourglass, about ten thousand miles high. Inside the hourglass flows a colorful, sand-like substance that looks dazzling and extraordinary.

"An hourglass! What a treasure!" the Ancestral Dragon Clone muttered to himself.

At the same time, the Ancestral Dragon Clone also imprinted a trace of divine power onto the hourglass.

And he controlled the hourglass to shrink and fly to the front of the Ancestral Dragon Clone!

A flood of information entered the mind of the Ancestral Dragon Clone, causing the Ancestral Dragon Clone's expression to become excited.

This hourglass is called the Time-Space Hourglass, and it is a high-grade, top-quality Domain-type Supreme Treasure.

However, it is also very difficult to activate! To fully activate this Supreme Treasure, one needs Ten-thousand-fold Gene Universe Venerable, or a hundred Gene the divine power of a Universe Lord!

In its normal state, the Ancestral Dragon Clone cannot fully activate this Supreme Treasure, but it can still unleash the power of a normal High-level Domain Treasure. If the Ancestral Dragon Clone uses the Bloodburn Secret Art, it can fully activate this Supreme Treasure.

If the Ancestral Dragon Clone had possessed this Supreme Treasure before his avatar appeared, he might have actually been able to capture the Flame Spirit Lord.

"With this Time-Space Hourglass, I've finally made up for my last weakness! Now that I have this High-level Treasure, my Gene, and my secret techniques are all pretty good, I'm afraid there are few Top-tier Universe Overlord in the Original Universe who can rival me! Even against first or second-tier universe judges, defeating me wouldn't be easy!" The Ancestral Dragon's divided spirit secretly calculated his own strength.

"It seems the Ancestral God Religion really made the right decision to come this time. They've allowed me to collect the complete set of Supreme Treasure for the Ancestral Dragon Clone so quickly, and these Supreme Treasure will still be usable for some time even at the Universe Lord stage!"

Call out!

Just then, a stream of Flowing Light, shrunk to its smallest size, flew toward the Ancestral Dragon Clone and then rushed into his Sea of Consciousness.

The Flowing Light contained a simple message, a passage left by the one who placed the treasure to the future Inheritors.

"I am the Starry Sky Master. Now, my Ancestral God Religion Sect, by Universal Operation Law, has created this treasure trove. I'll also join in the fun and put some unused treasures inside for future Inheritors!"

This voice, seemingly piercing through time and space, resounded in the mind of the Ancestral Dragon Clone.

It was as if an unparalleled powerhouse had appeared directly before the Ancestral Dragon Clone, displaying the demeanor of a super strong being.

"This Time-Space Hourglass is a precious treasure that I obtained by chance during my time as Universe Venerable. Even after I comprehended the Light-Time Fusion Law and entered the realm of Cosmic Lord, it remained with me for a very long time!"

"Later, as my strength continued to increase, I successively comprehended several Beast God Path, and after creating the Universe Master's Strongest Fusion Secret Method, I was bestowed with even more precious Supreme Treasure by the Three Ancestral Gods. At this time, the Time-Space Hourglass became of no use to me! Therefore, I sealed it on the Fourth High Mountain, leaving it for a destined person!"

"However, to obtain the treasure, you must also meet the conditions I have set!"

"As the son of Primordial Beast God, I inherited the bloodline of Eight Primordial Beast Gods and cultivate all eight Beast God Path simultaneously! Although this is a special case, I feel it is a path to heaven, so there are also requirements for its Inheritors."

"Inheritors! If you can cultivate the three different Beast God Path to the Fourth Level or above, you can unlock the treasure and obtain the Time-Space Hourglass!"

"Haha! If someone can truly unlock this treasure, then they are truly gifted! If, after endless ages, I am still alive, then by the chance of this Time-Space Hourglass, you may become my disciple! Of course, whether you become my disciple or not is entirely up to you! Remember my name: Starry Sky Master. If I can break through and become the strongest being in the universe, then I will be called the Starry Sky Ancestor! Haha!"

After reading this simple message, the Ancestral Dragon Clone immediately learned about the person who left the treasure and the conditions for opening it.

"The Starry Sky Ancestor? If it's him, then it's normal for him to have such a request!" The Ancestral Dragon Clone nodded slightly.

The original work clearly states that the Starry Sky Ancestor only broke through to become the strongest being in the universe after traversing the Eight Beast God Paths!

Therefore, it is normal to require Inheritors to cultivate multiple Beast God Path, but relatively speaking, this requirement is extremely demanding! Of the hundreds of millions of Inheritors of the Ancestral God Religion, the vast majority only cultivate one Beast God Path. After all, as long as one cultivates a Beast God Path to its peak, one will become a supreme master of the universe. In this case, one only needs to cultivate the one one is best at.

Of course, there are also some cosmic lords who, after mastering one of the Beast God Path, begin to cultivate other Beast God Path in hopes of becoming the next Wuhun Lord or even the Starry Sky Ancestor!

However, such powerful figures rarely come to this Treasure Land. After all, those who buried the treasures here were mostly early-stage Universe Lords of the Ancestral God Religion Sect. As fellow Universe Lords, they would feel somewhat embarrassed to accept the rewards from other Universe Lords!

Moreover, most of the Supreme Treasure left here are things that even the Lord of the Universe would not need; even if they obtained them, they might not be able to use them.

"Unexpectedly, this Starry Sky Ancestor also came from the Ancestral God Religion. I just don't know why he parted ways with the Ancestral God Religion Sect."

"Now that the Starry Sky Ancestor has left the Ancestral God Religion and joined the Beast God Race, he is an enemy of the Human Race. Naturally, the Ancestral Dragon Clone cannot become his disciple!" the Ancestral Dragon Clone thought to himself.

Moreover, the purpose of taking a master is to seek guidance when one is weak and does not understand the future. Now that Gulanxiu's talent is extraordinary, it is a foregone conclusion that he will become the master of the universe and True God in the future. There is no need for him to take anyone as his master!

Just as the Ancestral Dragon Clone received the Supreme Treasure, other powerful figures within the Ancestral God Religion also rushed to the Treasure Land.

This includes many Universe Overlord, and even a few cosmic lords who have set their sights there.

After all, the Ancestral Dragon Clone opened the fourth highest-ranking treasure among the 108 treasures. Judging from the treasures that have appeared in the Ancestral God Religion before, the treasure that appeared this time must be quite valuable. Even for ordinary universe masters, it should be of some use.

As for those Inheritors at the King level, they went to the Treasure Land simply to watch the excitement.

After all, treasures of this caliber are far beyond what even King -Marquis-level Immortal can obtain. Moreover, the one who obtained the treasure this time was a Top-tier Universe Overlord from the direct line of the Ancestral God Religion Sect. Even the powerful figures from the major peak forces would not have any designs on the neutral Ancestral God Religion Sect.

The Ancestral God Religion, a treasure trove.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the boulder that had been floating in mid-air crashed down and fell back into the cave. The fourth mountain, where only the Ancestral Dragon Clone, returned to its original state.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

--

Subsequently, the Five-Colored Aurora that had been surrounding the Four Peaks quickly shot into the sky and returned to the vast Five-Colored Aurora Lake above.

At this moment, the gazes of countless Inheritors in the distance quickly fell upon the Ancestral Dragon Clone, filled with envy and jealousy.

"One of the 108 most precious treasures in the Treasure Land, and the fourth most valuable one at that! Even the rulers of the universe would probably covet it!"

"Yes! Since the establishment of this Treasure Land, only two of the top ten Treasure Land have appeared. I didn't expect another one to appear today. I wonder what kind of treasure it will be this time?"

"These 108 most precious treasures are so rare that once they appear, they become one less. Especially since this one is the fourth most valuable treasure, ranked extremely high. This should be the most precious treasure to have ever appeared since the Treasure Land was established. How wonderful it would be if I were the one to obtain it!"

Stop dreaming! Even if you were the one to get the treasure this time, could you protect it?

"That's true! Although I've already reached the level of Universe Venerable, I only now realize just how vast the gap is between me and those Universe Overlord! Ancestral Dragon Venerable, backed by the Ancestral God Religion Sect and himself Top-tier Universe Overlord, naturally has no problem! If I were to obtain this treasure, it would probably be more of a curse than a blessing!"

The Ancestral Dragon Clone ignored the group of envious and jealous Inheritors. With his current status and strength, what difference would it make if he obtained Supreme Treasure?

With that thought in mind, the Ancestral Dragon Clone turned and left the Inheritance Grounds, returning to his own residence.

Since the Ancestral Dragon Clone had very few acquaintances within the Ancestral God Religion, no one came to disturb him.

Soon, the Ancestral Dragon Clone entered a state of cultivation again!
