The Insect-Chasing King decided not to leave, but instead sat alone in the pavilion drinking wine, waiting to see if Zhang Junbao and his companions would really have a harvest as they claimed.

"It's been a long time since any new treasures have appeared in the Treasure Land. Everyone says that the Treasure Land is full of treasures, but why haven't we seen any?" A member of the Alien Race was perched on a small mountain peak, the spiraled tail of a snake sweeping around casually, polishing the surrounding rocks until they shone.

It's clear that he has been entrenched in this area for quite some time, yet he still hasn't found any treasure.

Treasures appearing frequently? That's terrible!

No matter how much treasure you possess, the long years will eventually exhaust it all. It's no longer our turn to search for it. The last time a treasure appeared, it seems, was obtained by the Seven Sword King of the Human Race.

"What a boring thing it would be if the treasure never appeared! A bunch of us wandering around like idiots. If people knew us, they'd say we're looking for a treasure, but if they didn't, they'd think we were a bunch of beggars rummaging through a garbage dump!" The snake-tailed Alien Race's triangular, emerald-green eyes were filled with anticipation. "Even if we don't get it, the sight of the treasure appearing would be breathtaking. I really hope that scene happens just for me."

"Hahaha... You've been wandering the Treasure Land for tens of thousands of years. If there really was something suitable for you, you would have been born long ago. Why wait until now? Give up!"

Suddenly, they saw four newlyweds flying towards them—

"It's the Aurora King!"

" The Aurora King has arrived!"

" The Aurora King who drank with the Insect-Chasing King, I heard he's World Lord. A World Lord who can keep Venerable Beishan from showing his face until now, that's terrifying! If he came to this Treasure Land, many treasures would probably appear for him. Which senior wouldn't like such a genius?"

"And then there's Blade River King, Illusion Heart King, and Purple Firmament King. These three are also ruthless; none of them are weak. Blade River King's fighting style is extremely fierce, so his cultivation speed in the Path of the Beast God must be quite fast."

The Illusion Heart King is a master of illusion. I've heard from some friends who have stayed in the Star Tower Star Tower that it's better to encounter a Soul Master than the Illusion Heart King. Once you fall into his illusion, no one has ever escaped. It's extremely terrifying!

The bald man with strange runes on his head is the Purple Firmament King. His Lightning Secret Technique are extremely unique; ordinary defensive treasures are completely ineffective against his attacks. He's practically a god of death!

The inheritors gazed from a great distance, some even soaring into the air to observe from afar, and soon locked onto the four of them.

Luo Feng glanced around and chuckled, transmitting his voice, "Looks like we've become some of the most prominent figures among the inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect."

"Hehe, Brother Hong and I aren't as famous as you two. Look at those inheritors, they don't even dare to get close, clearly they're afraid of your and Junbao's strength."

"Come on, Brother Hong's reputation Illusion Heart King is not small at all. If he were to bring out those hundreds of Soul Slave, it would be enough to intimidate most of the King Level inheritors here," Luo Feng said irritably.

" Junbao's reputation is still the greatest. Even Venerable Beishan became his stepping stone. Now, I guess ordinary Venerable would feel uneasy if they saw him. Nobody wants to be stared at by a group of Universe Venerable and Invincible King powerhouses all day long. Even Universe Overlord can't stand it!"

"That Venerable Beishan has been hiding in his residence until now, probably too afraid to come out of his God Kingdom. I saw in the Glory World that some powerful figures have put a bounty on the location of Venerable Beishan's God Kingdom, probably wanting to directly attack his God Kingdom," Luo Feng said with a smile.

Thinking of Venerable Beishan's tragic end, Luo Feng laughed rather unkindly.

"That bad? A chance to refine Advanced Heavy Treasure is precious, but surely it shouldn't warrant Universe Venerable risking his life like this?"

"No way? Thunder God, you really don't know the hunger of the starving. Those Universe Venerable weren't looking for Heavy Treasure; they were clearly after the Supreme Treasure," Zhang Junbao laughed.

" Supreme Treasure?"

"The opportunity to refine Advanced Heavy Treasure, worth twenty times, does that mean those powerful Universe Venerable care? What they're thinking is, if they accumulate enough opportunities, or even kill the Venerable Beishan Venerable Beishan, can they exchange them for a chance to refine a Supreme Treasure from me?"

After all, the difficulty and resources required to forge twenty Advanced Heavy Treasure are greater than those required to forge one Supreme Treasure.

"So that's how it is. No wonder those Universe Venerable were so eager. It's settled then, you have to give us a few supreme Supreme Treasure first. We've never even seen what a supreme Supreme Treasure looks like!"

"Really? The runes on your head... they don't look simple at all." Zhang Junbao glanced at the purple lightning-like runes on Thunder God's head. Would the Giant Axe Founder simply give Thunder God a Heavy Treasure? That would be too unworthy of the Universe Supreme Master.

Hong and Thunder God are now being groomed by the Giant Axe Arena as their most important geniuses. After all, among the five major human powers, the Giant Axe Arena and the Virtual Universe Company are the most powerful. In the past tens of thousands of years, the Virtual Universe Company has not only gained the Universe Master Demon Lord Luan Shen, but also seen the rise of two geniuses, Zhang Junbao and Luo Feng.

If the Giant Axe Arena doesn't act soon, the position of human leadership may be questioned.

The Earth Lineage's talent has long been proven. As two of the four strongest individuals on Earth, how could Giant Axe possibly underestimate them?

The more he nurtured them, the Giant Axe terrifying the Earthling became. Other powerful individuals saw their cultivation speed slow down as they progressed. But the geniuses nurtured on Earth were the complete opposite.

Just like Hong and Thunder God, they seemed Pingping at first, but the more they grew, the faster they progressed. Their understanding of the Law was as easy as eating and drinking, which shocked many powerful figures in the human elite.

Luo Feng and Zhang Junbao both possess Supreme Treasure; how could Hong and Thunder God not?

"Hehe, these treasures belong to the Giant Axe Founder, not to the clan. It's not that the clan is biased," Thunder God said apologetically.

They knew that all three of them had been bestowed with Supreme Treasure by their clan, but Zhang Junbao, who had the strongest talent, had obtained his Supreme Treasure entirely on his own, not through the clan's bestowal.

"I understand. My requirements for Supreme Treasure are special. Even if the clan bestows them upon me, I won't be able to use them. Why waste them on me?"

However, my Supreme Treasure are all incomplete. If I could completely perfect them, their power should be considerable. Luo Feng, you gave Hong and Thunder God ten Sealing Star each, right?" Zhang Junbao asked.

"That's right, I originally wanted to give it to you, but you weren't here, so I didn't. Just let me know if you need it."

"Then I won't hold back. When it comes to taking advantage of someone's wealth, I won't be polite. How many of the Sealing Star can be retrieved?"

"Some Star need to remain inside the Star Tower to maintain its necessary operation and cannot be retrieved, but 16,235 can be freely retrieved. I brought 100 with me this time, gave ten each to Hong and Thunder God, and have 80 left."

"80 isn't enough. Since you have over 10,000 unused ones, just leaving them there is pointless. Give me 10,081."

Zhang Junbao's demand for 10,081 Sealing Star truly startled Luo Feng.

"With so many Sealing Star, you probably wouldn't be able to control them all. I can only control a maximum of ten Star at a time."

"My Supreme Treasure, the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, originally had an outer core, but I destroyed it during the previous battle. I haven't reforged it since. Using ordinary materials would only slightly enhance its power, so it's better to leave it out. But I can't afford to use all Heavy Treasure."

Since you have over ten thousand idle Sealing Star, that's perfect for enhancing the power of my Supreme Treasure. Don't worry, I have a way to harness its Supreme Treasure."

Ever since he self-destructed the outer core of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation, Zhang Junbao has been eyeing the Star Tower's Sealing Star.

Luo Feng has over ten thousand idle Sealing Star, which are useless to him. It would be better to give them to him. In this way, the power of the Zhou Heavenly Star Battle Formation will definitely be comparable to that of High-grade Supreme Treasure.

Originally possessing the power to Control of Space-Time, coupled with the sealing power of 10,081 Sealing Star, once an enemy falls within Zhang Junbao's domain, they would probably find it difficult to even lift a finger.

As for the driving force, the nine Law Core within the Zhou Heavenly Stars are capable of communicating with the Origin Land of the Universe and infusing Zhang Junbao with a large amount of World Power, so he doesn't need his own World Power as the driving force.

Zhang Junbao only needs to manipulate the nine Law Core to reliably control the entire Supreme Treasure.

"Alright, I've already had my Soul Slave leave Divine Power mark on my residence on Bauhinia Island. Going back to the Star Tower to retrieve the Sealing Star will only take a short while. I'll go get it after returning from the Treasure Land," Luo Feng said.

Thank you!

"Between you and me, is there any need for thanks? Don't forget, you promised to forge a Supreme Treasure for each of us!" Luo Feng laughed loudly.

"So this is where I was waiting! Let me make this clear first, bring your own materials. I don't have that many Supreme Treasure- tier materials. If you find good materials, I don't mind crafting a Supreme Treasure item for you."

For a powerful figure from Earth to not possess a couple of Supreme Treasure, wouldn't that be too pathetic?

"Hahaha..."

The four men exchanged a smile, and their hearty laughter echoed throughout the mountain peak.

"Here lie 108 of the highest peaks, hiding 108 of the most precious treasures. Only 42 of these have been obtained by those who have inherited them throughout history; the rest await those destined to find them."

"A destined one? Look at this head of mine, I'm destined to be wherever I go, and the treasure will surely be mine!" Thunder God laughed loudly.

"Maybe the condition set by that powerful senior was having hair? Do you think you can pretend to be a monk just by having a big bald head?" Hong teased Thunder God.

"I may be bald, but I'm not a monk! Even the legendary Buddha might not have my current strength!" Thunder God grinned.

"Why don't we split up and look for opportunities separately? That would be more efficient," Zhang Junbao suggested.

"I think it's a good idea. If I'm with you, all the opportunities might be yours," Luo Feng said.

"Then let's all explore in the same direction, relying on our own opportunities—the treasures are endless!"

"Everyone's destiny is a treasure trove!"

The four each chose the highest peak and flew away.

"Look... those four have each gone to one of the four highest peaks. Their ambitions are truly immense. The highest peaks hold 108 of the most precious treasures, and they've gone straight to the highest peaks. These Human Race geniuses are certainly ambitious!"

Among the many powerful Alien Race races in the distance, quite a few harbored extreme hatred towards Zhang Junbao and his companions.

They dared not act rashly simply because of Zhang Junbao's previous intimidation.

After all, given the example of Venerable Beishan, no one knows how much they are Heavy Treasure.

"Snort!"

A cold snort came from a hunched figure atop a mountain peak. He had golden mane and golden eyes, but his back was hunched, and he looked like a wild beast ready to pounce at any moment, with a ferocious expression.

" Barking Mirror King, do you think your Aurora King and his companions will be able to obtain the treasure?"

"He went straight for the highest peak!" several inheritors nearby remarked.

Barking Mirror King looked at it coldly, sneered, and said disdainfully, "The treasure of the highest peak has existed since the Ancestral God Sect established this Treasure Land."

It is said that it was personally placed there by an Ancestral God. Over the long years, there have been Special Lifeform at the World Lord Level who have come here, but none of them have been able to seize the treasure.

"Aurora King, he's far from meeting the requirements to open the Treasure Land. As for Blade River King, needless to say, he's not even as good as Aurora King. And the other two? What are they?"

Several inheritors nearby nodded in agreement. They all relied on Barking Mirror King for their existence and naturally dared not disobey his wishes.

Barking Mirror King and Insect-Chasing King are both extremely powerful beings among Special Lifeform in the universe, and their Innate Secret Technique are also very powerful. Although they are only at the King-level Immortal, ordinary Universe Venerable are no match for them.

Of course, there is a huge gap between ordinary Universe Venerable and Universe Overlord. Beings who can be called Universe Overlord can easily crush them.

Even Special Lifeform like the Insect-Chasing King and the Barking Mirror King, once they reach the Universe Venerable, still need to undergo rigorous training before they can reach the level of Universe Overlord.

Within the Ancestral God Sect, these two were the most powerful Special Lifeform at the King Level, except that the Insect-Chasing King was even more powerful than the Barking Mirror King. Zhang Junbao's close association with the Insect-Chasing King and their shared drinking naturally aroused the Barking Mirror King's displeasure.

Despite his dissatisfaction, Zhang Junbao and his companions continued their search.

Zhang Junbao stood atop a mountain peak and walked around the area, but did not cause any disturbance.

According to normal rules, as long as the conditions are met on a certain mountain peak, the treasure will open automatically, which is quite peculiar.

Zhang Junbao's arrival did not change the highest peak; clearly, he was not satisfied with the conditions there.

Similarly, Luo Feng and his group landed on the mountain peak without any reaction.

This scene immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the inheritors in the distance, especially Barking Mirror King, whose ferocious face rarely showed a smile, though it was still quite ugly.

He turned to look at the Insect-Chasing King, who was drinking and watching the show alone in the pavilion, and grinned defiantly, as if to say, "Your friend is no good!"
