Celestial Court Treasure Vault Opens, Bixiao Is Left Speechless

Deep within Purple Palace Isle.

The Celestial Court had more than one treasure vault.

After all, Dongwang Gong had ruled the immortals of the Eastern Sea for many years. There were vast numbers of cultivators under his command, and all manner of spiritual materials, pills, Dharma treasures, and spiritual roots needed to be stored separately. An ordinary palace simply could not hold them all.

Following the lingering providence of Purple Palace Isle, Luxuan sensed his way forward and soon arrived at the Celestial Court's core treasure vault district.

Nine immortal palaces.

Each one was larger than the last.

Dozens of layers of restrictions had been laid outside every one of them.

The central treasure hall in particular used three Innate Spirit Treasures directly as its array cores. Clearly, what it stored was far beyond ordinary stockpiles.

Bixiao followed along behind them.

At first, she had been brimming with excitement.

When they reached the entrance of the first treasure vault, she had even begun guessing what was inside.

"Master."

"I think this should be pills."

Zhao Gongming asked, "Why?"

Bixiao pointed at the palace gate.

"I can smell them."

Zhao Gongming fell silent for a moment.

The reasoning was simple.

But impossible to refute.

Luxuan raised a hand and swept it through the air.

With Dongwang Gong no longer presiding over them, the outer restrictions held little meaning in his eyes.

The laws of the Array Dao swept through them.

The dozens of layers of restrictions automatically severed from their core nodes.

The treasure vault doors slowly opened.

Boom!

A rich medicinal fragrance instantly surged forth.

Bixiao's eyes lit up at once.

"They really are pills!"

Inside the palace.

Tens of thousands of jade bottles and jade cases were arranged neatly upon immortal shelves.

Even the most ordinary ones contained spirit pills suitable for Mysterious Immortals and Golden Immortals.

The farther inward one went.

The higher the grade of the pills.

Those that replenished Dharma power.

Those that healed injuries.

Those that aided enlightenment.

There were even dozens of furnaces of Taiyi-grade immortal pills that had yet to be fully opened.

Even Zhao Gongming could not help sighing in admiration.

"The Celestial Court has indeed amassed quite a fortune over the years."

Luxuan nodded.

"Move it all."

Bixiao immediately turned her head.

"All of it?"

"All of it."

Two simple words.

The young girl instantly grew even more energized.

The second treasure vault.

Spiritual materials.

All kinds of Innate divine metals were piled into mountains.

Taiyi Refined Gold.

Profound Yin Divine Iron.

Astral Mother Copper.

Nine Heavens Jade Marrow.

Some precious materials required Great Luo cultivators to search for tens of thousands of years in the outside world, yet here they were laid out in heap after heap.

The third treasure vault.

Spiritual roots and spiritual herbs.

More than a hundred Innate Spiritual Roots had been planted separately in independent spirit fields.

The number of acquired spiritual roots was even more astonishing.

Many had already borne immortal fruit in abundance.

The fourth treasure vault.

Array flags, array discs, and talismans.

Yunxiao examined them most carefully.

In particular, the array diagrams from every generation of the Myriad Immortals Formation were all stored within, from the earliest prototype to the later completed versions.

This might have limited value to ordinary cultivators.

But to Yunxiao.

It held greater research value than quite a few Innate Spirit Treasures.

The fifth treasure vault.

All varieties of spirit treasures.

The instant the treasure gate opened.

Countless rays of Innate treasure light flooded the palace interior, making its original colors impossible to discern.

Low-grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

Mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasures.

Though high-grade ones were clearly far fewer, there were still some.

As for acquired spirit treasures, they were so numerous they could not be counted.

A large portion of them had clearly been obtained through the Celestial Court's campaigns over the years.

Bixiao stood at the doorway.

For once, she did not speak immediately.

Yunxiao waited for a moment.

When she found that her younger sister was still quiet.

She found it somewhat strange.

"What's wrong?"

Bixiao raised a hand and pointed inside.

"There are a bit too many."

"And then?"

Bixiao fell silent again for a while.

"I don't know which one to look at first."

Yunxiao finally could not hold back her laughter.

That reason was indeed very Bixiao.

Usually, whenever one or two treasures appeared, she was the quickest to react.

But now, the treasure light throughout the palace was as countless as stars.

It had instead made her mind freeze.

Luxuan did not linger for long.

These spirit treasures meant a great deal to ordinary cultivators.

But they no longer offered him much direct help.

What truly made Luxuan's eyes light up was the sixth treasure vault.

The moment its door opened.

A dense Innate spiritual aura, so rich it had nearly condensed into liquid, burst forth.

Inside the entire palace.

There were no Dharma treasures.

No pills.

Only sealed spiritual vein cores, one after another.

Small.

Medium.

Large.

There were even several exceptionally high-quality Innate Spiritual Veins that Dongwang Gong had deliberately sealed away in the deepest part.

Zhao Gongming took one look.

"So the Celestial Court stored all the spiritual veins it gathered from throughout the Eastern Sea over the years here?"

Luxuan nodded.

"More or less."

What did he lack most?

To be precise.

Luxuan himself no longer lacked ordinary resources for cultivation.

What truly required vast resources was Penglai.

For a top-tier immortal island to continue transforming into an independent world.

Its original foundation alone was nowhere near enough.

The more spiritual veins there were.

The more stable the earth veins became.

The more complete the cycle of spiritual aura grew.

The stronger the foundation for world transformation naturally became.

So compared to those spirit treasures and pills from before.

This vault of spiritual veins satisfied Luxuan the most.

"Take all of these away."

Bixiao, listening from the side, had no objections whatsoever by now.

She finally understood.

Why her master had looked down on the little compensation the Celestial Court had sent before.

At the time, she had thought three large spiritual veins were already a great deal.

Now that she had entered the Celestial Court's main vaults.

She understood that had truly been no more than a small slice casually carved from their flesh.

The Celestial Court had operated for who knew how many ages.

Its foundation was frighteningly deep.

They continued onward.

The seventh vault.

Cultivation techniques, divine abilities, and immortal Dao scriptures.

Zhao Gongming casually pulled out several scrolls and glanced through them.

There were inheritances from loose immortals of the Eastern Sea.

Fragments from the Dragon-Han Era.

There were even cultivation insights Dongwang Gong had personally compiled after listening to the Dao at Violet Cloud Palace.

Such things would be immensely valuable for Penglai's future cultivation of disciples.

The eighth vault.

Merit spiritual objects and all manner of special rare treasures.

Though fewer in number than those before, every item was valuable.

Until they reached the final main treasure vault.

The restrictions here were clearly the strongest.

Luxuan acted personally.

It took him several dozen breaths before he completely unraveled the array.

Rumble!

The treasure gate opened.

The first thing that came into view.

Was a dazzling river of stars floating within the palace.

Not stars.

Rather, it was a phenomenon formed by the interwoven radiance of tens of thousands of treasures.

At the very center.

The spare spiritual pool used to nurture the Dragonhead Staff.

A vast collection privately amassed by Dongwang Gong.

As well as dozens of exceptionally high-quality Innate Spiritual Roots.

Some immortal materials had even reached a level that would make ordinary Great Wilderness mighty figures green with envy at first sight.

Bixiao's mouth slowly fell open.

This time, she truly had nothing to say.

Zhao Gongming glanced at her.

"Junior Sister."

"Why aren't you commenting?"

Bixiao pondered seriously for a long while.

"I'm out of words."

Zhao Gongming couldn't hold back his laughter.

Yunxiao was also somewhat moved.

The Celestial Court had attacked Penglai several times before.

Who could have imagined it would end like this?

Not only had Dongwang Gong himself died.

Even the entire fortune he had built up over countless years had fallen into Penglai's hands.

Luxuan, however, felt no particular sentiment.

He had come to attack them of his own accord.

He lost.

The spoils belonged to the victor.

The Great Wilderness had always followed rules this simple.

"Take everything."

After saying that.

He seemed to remember something else.

"Don't waste the palace itself, either."

Bixiao's eyes lit up again.

"We're moving the buildings too?"

"The palaces on Purple Palace Isle are all built from innate immortal materials."

Luxuan found it only natural.

"Why leave them here to gather dust?"

Zhao Gongming looked over the entire Celestial Court palace complex.

All of a sudden.

He felt that he had still underestimated his master.

His junior sister only wanted to move the treasure vault.

His master was planning to pack up the renovations along with everything else.

This was no longer plundering.

He was preparing to make the Celestial Court vanish in the truest sense of the phrase—bag and baggage.
