" King Xue You, thank you. That Venerable Beishan was definitely after me."
Watching Venerable Beishan disappear rapidly, the Dragon Whale King's expression was somewhat uncertain.
This isn't his first time visiting the Ancestral God Religion.
He naturally understood the purpose of Venerable Beishan's visit.
If it weren't for the King Xue You by his side, he would probably have suffered the same humiliation as the other Human Race in the Hongmeng Alliance.
He, the Dragon Whale King, has lived a long life and experienced everything. He doesn't care about his own pride, but here he represents a member of the Hongmeng Alliance.
"It's nothing. That Venerable Beishan is just an ordinary Universe Venerable. Dragon Whale King, you've broken through to the Universe Venerable realm, so you might be able to crush him!"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
Venerable Beishan was so sensible, he naturally had no intention of pursuing the matter further.
But what deep-seated hatred does this guy have for the Human Race? Lu Qingshan plans to find out after leaving the Treasure Land...
" Dragon Whale King, let's go and take a look at those mountains."
"Good!"
The two of them were lifted into the air and landed on a mountain peak.
" King Xue You!"
" Ten Thousand Seas King."
Some people recognized Lu Qingshan and greeted him. Lu Qingshan would then respond after checking their identities.
After pausing briefly on one mountain without any response, he continued his search on another large mountain.
Gradually, many inheritors learned that the King Xue You had come to the Inheritance Land.
"Rumors are unreliable. Everyone says the King Xue You is tyrannical, but I think he's fine. He even greeted me just now."
"These rumors were probably spread deliberately by the Demon Race. Apart from the Demon Race, has the King Xue You ever bullied any other inheritors?"
"I haven't heard of that! It's just a rumor that the One-Horned Ghost King is extremely Bloodthirsty, but it seems the rumor is wrong."
"It's all just a conspiracy by the Demon Race. Rumors... None of us have ever seen another One-Horned Ghost King. It's all just hearsay. That Demon Race suffered a great loss, so they'll definitely smear King Xue You."
"No wonder the King Xue You called the Demon Race 'scum'..."
"Keep your voice down, don't let anyone else hear!"
Along the way, Lu Qingshan greeted others and received some positive feedback.
The main reason is that he is famous enough and has strong enough ability.
Otherwise, a simple response wouldn't be touted like this.
Another mountain peak remained unresponsive.
The two had been in this Treasure Land for over half a month, but had yet to find anything.
The Dragon Whale King shook his head and said, "I never had any hope, but I never expected that even you, King Xue You, couldn't trigger the conditions for opening these treasures. They're just too strict."
"That's normal. After all, any treasure produced in this Treasure Land can be considered Top-Tier Heavy Treasure. If it were so easy to open, it would have been taken by someone else long ago. How could it be our turn?"
Lu Qingshan was not surprised.
"I didn't expect you to have such a good attitude, King Xue You. I thought you would be disappointed," the Dragon Whale King said with a smile.
"Haha, it's not that bad."
Lu Qingshan was naturally not disappointed.
What's there to be disappointed about?
Aren't they just some True Treasure and Supreme Treasure?
I've already acquired several of my own Inheritance Token; if I were to sell them, exchanging them for even an ordinary Supreme Treasure wouldn't be a problem.
He is currently weak, and his disciples are also weak. Once he becomes stronger, he can recruit suitable disciples or train his current disciples to become stronger.
The Supreme Treasure can be easily cashed out. For him, it's like the ingredients that grow in Ling Xi's Internal World —there are so many that he can't possibly use them all.
Lu Qingshan's desire for this Treasure Land was far less intense than that of the other inheritors.
"Let's try a few more places, and then go check out those hundred-plus highest peaks."
Lu Qingshan looked at the 108 mountain peaks in the distance. Those were the highest peaks in the Treasure Land, and the treasures inside were the most top-tier in the entire Treasure Land. Over Endless years, only forty-odd of them had been opened.
The last one to initiate this was a Universe Venerable from the Demon Race.
"Good!"
The two landed on an unremarkable mountain Pingping again, and like the previous peak, there was no reaction. Just as they were about to leave...
suddenly!
"Boom!!"
The earth began to shake, and the entire mountain peak began to sway violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
The treasure has been opened!
One after another, figures flew towards this direction, eager to witness this scene.
Everyone on the mountain was overjoyed.
Who is it?
"I don't know, could it be me?"
"It seems like the King Xue You came over just now. Could it be that the King Xue You it?"
" King Xue You... then it's not surprising..."
As the mountain range swayed, both Dragon Whale King and Lu Qingshan felt a surge of excitement in their eyes.
" King Xue You, congratulations!"
"The Dragon Whale King said excitedly."
"You're congratulating us a bit too soon. We still don't know who opened the treasure. We'll have to wait until the treasure is revealed to find out."
"Haha, King Xue You, you're too modest. Those people were already on this mountain before us. If they could trigger it, they would have done so long ago. The treasure only triggered after we arrived, so it must be because of you..."
The Dragon Whale King was overjoyed. Before coming, he had said he wanted to share in the good luck, and he never expected that he would actually do so.
I had actually witnessed the opening of a treasure trove.
Suddenly, the Dragon Whale King froze, as if he had been completely stunned. Then, beams of light flashed, kicking all the other inheritors on the mountain peak away. Even the King Xue You was kicked away by an irresistible force.
Only the Dragon Whale King remained atop the mountain.
"It's me?"
Why me?
The messages that came through his consciousness left the Dragon Whale King bewildered. A treasure that even a genius as brilliant as the King Xue You couldn't obtain had been acquired by an old man like himself.
Are you sure you're not joking?
However, the Dragon Whale King soon understood the reason, and while he was pleasantly surprised, he was also somewhat amused and exasperated.
"This senior... is truly... unconventional..."
As the Dragon Whale King touched the World Ring enveloped in multicolored Aurora, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"I am the Master of Nine Dawns, a Guardian Beast God of the Ancestral God Religion... I heard that the Ancestral God Religion has created a Treasure Land, so today I will place one of my unused treasures Meteoric Iron Mystic Armor, inside, hoping that a destined person will be able to open it."
"The conditions for unlocking it are simple... You only need to live for two trillion epochs, be a peak inheritor of the Third Layer the Path of the Beast God, and not possess any True Treasure during your time with the Ancestral God Religion to unlock my inheritance. Simple, right... Hahaha..."
The carefree smile gradually faded.
The Dragon Whale King picked up the ring and examined it. It was an unclaimed World Ring, which only required a trace of Spiritual Imprint to recognize its owner. Inside was a silver-white suit of armor.
"Armor?"
The Dragon Whale King left its Spiritual Imprint on it, and was then greatly shocked.
"This isn't just ordinary armor; it's actually a True Treasure..."
The name of this treasure was so ordinary that the Dragon Whale King originally thought it was just a decent Heavy Treasure Armor, but it turned out to be a True Treasure.
It consists of 18 True Treasure... boots, armor, helmet, weapon...
These 18 True Treasure can be used separately, each possessing the power of Ordinary Heavy Treasure. They can also be combined to greatly increase their power... making them comparable in value to ordinary Supreme Treasure.
I'm rich!
The Dragon Whale King was overjoyed.
However, before the colorful Aurora disappeared, he immediately suppressed his smile...
Having lived for so many years, he naturally knew the value of this True Treasure set. This thing absolutely could not be revealed, otherwise even Universe Venerable would fight over it.
"It's the Human Race Dragon Whale King!"
Why is it Human Race again?
"I originally thought it was the King Xue You who obtained the treasure, but I didn't expect that the King Xue You was also kicked out, and the treasure was actually obtained by the Human Race."
"This Dragon Whale King has mediocre talent; he's lived for countless eons and is still only Third Layer Inheritor. What makes him think he can obtain the inheritance?"
" Human Race are incredibly lucky. First it was the Seven Sword King, and now it's the Dragon Whale King."
Jealousy and resentment filled countless inheritors with displeasure upon seeing that the treasure had been obtained by the Dragon Whale King.
If it were the King Xue You, that would be one thing.
What makes this Dragon Whale King so special?! They were all unconvinced.
" Dragon Whale King, what treasure have you obtained?"
"A Universe Venerable from the Northern Territory Alliance asked curiously."
"Yes, what treasure does the Dragon Whale King possess?"
Another Universe Venerable spoke.
"Just an ordinary piece of armor." The Dragon Whale King sighed and took out a silver-white black iron armor, one of the pieces in the True Treasure set.
Upon seeing that it was a Heavy Treasure Armor, the jealous inheritors' moods immediately improved considerably.
Fortunately, it wasn't some kind of Domain True Treasure, Soul Defense True Treasure, or flying palace True Treasure.
A piece of Heavy Treasure Armor, though more precious than a weapon of True Treasure, is considered a very low-grade treasure in this Treasure Land.
This is also why the Dragon Whale King took out his armor.
"Haha, Dragon Whale King, don't be so picky. It's already quite good. Armor that can be placed in the Treasure Land is at least better than ordinary Heavy Treasure Armor." The Universe Venerable had spoken earlier laughed heartily, then flew away.
"Congratulations, Dragon Whale King!"
" Dragon Whale King, please treat us!"
Sensing the change in everyone's attitude, the Dragon Whale King secretly breathed a sigh of relief and transmitted his voice to the King Xue You, saying, "I'm going back to Bauhinia Island first. King Xue You, you can wander around some more by yourself."
"Okay, go ahead."
Lu Qingshan nodded.
"Okay, I'll treat you to a drink when you get back."
After saying this, the Dragon Whale King quickly left the Treasure Land and returned to his manor in the Bauhinia Island mountains.
Here, with absolutely no one to disturb him and no one daring to intrude, he carefully examined the True Treasure.
"These 18 True Treasure are all far more valuable than my previous True Treasure, and together they are priceless. I, the Dragon Whale King, have been unlucky for so long, is it really time for my luck to turn around?"
The Dragon Whale King was overjoyed.
After being unlucky for half my life, I've been incredibly lucky this era. First, I received Inheritance Token from my junior brother, and now I've acquired a set of precious True Treasure.
"Tell the teacher."
After recognizing the True Treasure set as its owner, the Dragon Whale King logged into the Virtual Universe, replied to all the congratulatory emails sent by the inheritors of the Hongmeng Alliance, and then went to the manor of the Ganwu Country Lord on Thunder Island.
"Teacher, your disciple has struck it rich!"
The Dragon Whale King was extremely excited.
There is absolutely no need to hide anything from the teacher. Firstly, it shows absolute trust in the teacher, and secondly, there may also be an element of showing off involved.
When I perished, I lost two True Treasure and owed a huge bill. I was hoping to get some gold coins, but I didn't succeed... Now that I have obtained a set of True Treasure, it wouldn't feel perfect if I didn't show it off to my teacher.
"What a fine Meteoric Iron Mystic Armor! Not bad, not bad at all. Longjing... you've hit the jackpot."
The Ganwu Country Lord looked at the armor simulated in the Virtual Universe and showed an envious expression.
This True Treasure set is estimated to be worth more than 1 Supreme Treasure Point. If the disciple is willing to give it to him, it would be enough for him to pay off all his debts to everyone except his clan.
"I have to thank my junior brother. If it weren't for his Inheritance Token, I wouldn't have had this opportunity."
"The Dragon Whale King sighed."
The Ganwu Country Lord nodded. "Just remember that. I've noticed your strength has improved quite rapidly lately, and you've had some good luck too. You might actually have a chance to break through to the Universe Venerable. But you need to hurry, your junior brother will probably be close too!"
