The Foundations of a Great Clan, Treasures Everywhere!

A decision has been made --

One person, two demons, and two ghosts gradually explored the first level, first figuring out its general layout, and then proceeding to the next level...

Since we're already trapped here, the best strategy is to proceed cautiously and steadily!

Qin Zheng waved his sleeve, and countless water droplets scattered. These droplets then coalesced, forming fist-sized water spheres...

Its method is somewhat similar to scattering beans to create soldiers.

The formed water sphere spirits are ubiquitous and number in the tens of thousands...

Qin Zheng could use this method to quickly obtain information, as if he had a god's-eye view. Wherever Shui Ling went, Qin Zheng could see something!

The Water Spirit even has a parasitic effect, allowing it to gather more information.

While we're at it, let's explore this level to see if there are any fortuitous opportunity treasures or exploitable resources, and also to find out where the various Demon Race gather in this area...

This can be seen as laying the groundwork for later seizing this territory.

"Please wait a moment; my Transform Rain into Spirits will take some time."

"Soul Frost, can you find any other information from the souls of those Demon King?"

Upon hearing this—

After pondering for a moment, the Soul Frost Ghost King shook his head:

"Most of these Demon King know very little, and some are even forbidden from entering the second level. Only a small number of Demon King have entered the second level..."

"The remaining fragments of memory are extremely few."

"The second level of this ancestral temple looks like a tomb, with many huge, ancient stone statues. According to the Ice and Snow Demon Race..."

"Those stone statues correspond to the transformed Demon Emperor of the Ice and Snow Demon Race throughout history, numbering no less than a hundred..."

"It looks like a history book of the Demon Race."

"Those Demon King who were able to enter the second level were all recorded descendants of Demon Emperor, presumably through sacrifices to these stone statues..."

"It can bring some kind of benefit."

"Judging from the memories of the Demon King, only a dozen or so of those hundreds of Demon Emperor statues still retain some of their power..."

"Those ancient stone statues have long since lost their luster."

"According to the Demon Race race, this means that this lineage has completely declined, and it has been a long time since Demon Emperor expert has appeared..."

"So..."

"I suspect that this second level might contain the remnant soul of Demon Emperor, or some kind of projection of will. We need to be careful..."

After listening--

Qin Zheng had also made some considerations. This information was very important, and they couldn't retreat right now. This information might just save their lives!

It only takes a short while.

On Qin Zheng's side, countless water spirits also began sending back messages continuously...

Qin Zheng sank into his sea of Divine Sense, where he saw a map that was constantly changing and being filled in with various details.

Various resources, as well as unknown areas, have been marked accordingly!

The first level of the ancestral temple is roughly divided into glaciers, forests, and plains, where nearly two hundred species of Demon Beast have been discovered...

Among them, the three ecological cores of glaciers, plains and forests each have a medium-sized Spirit Vein, with abundant Spiritual Power!

The plains region contains numerous open-pit mines, including over a dozen Third-Tier spirit mines, which are essential materials for crafting Law Artifact or constructing spirit buildings...

Even rare Fourth-Tier -Fourth-Tier spirit ores like Mica Cold Stone, Cold Spring Jade, and Permafrost Mystic Metal exist in three small veins!

With just a little mining, enough could be used to refine quite a few Law Treasure...

If the Qin Clan clan were to dedicate all its resources to refining these artifacts, they might be able to create several top-quality, heaven-reaching Heaven-Penetrating Spirit Treasure to serve as clan-protecting artifacts!

With just a few minor modifications and the addition of some formations, it can be perfected.

This can assist Core Formation Cultivator in activating Heaven-Penetrating Spirit Treasure, thereby unleashing the abilities of Nascent Soul Cultivator. This is the foundation of a powerful force...

The Qin Clan is currently in a situation where it has Nascent Soul Cultivator, but its foundation is relatively weak.

Once the Nascent Soul of their own clan is gone, they lose an effective means of dealing with Nascent Soul Cultivator, and it is necessary to fill this gap...

This is also the main direction of the Qin Clan's development at present.

Like Qin Mingyi's Boundless City, it has always been the Qin Clan clan's most prized possession, a treasure they have always protected. Don't be fooled by the countless hardships Qin Mingyi endured to forge his Golden Core...

However, its natal Law Treasure, Boundless City, is now Fourth-Tier High-Grade Law Treasure. With the nine cities combined, it can be infinitely close to Fifth-Tier Heaven-Penetrating Spirit Treasure!

This is precisely why these Fourth-Tier spirit ore veins...

For the Qin Clan today, it is extremely important; it is no exaggeration to call it a strategic resource, and its value is immeasurable.

And the forest area—

Compared to the plains, this area boasts the richest resources of Spirit Plant, with countless varieties of spiritual trees, fruits, flowers, and herbs, making it a natural garden of spirit medicine...

Even the most ordinary trees are often Cold Ironwood, some thousands, tens of thousands, or even thousands of years old...

If it can grow to ten thousand years old, it is already comparable to Fourth-Tier spiritual creature!

Whether for crafting puppets or Law Treasure, the materials are top-notch, especially considering the Qin Clan's warships have extremely sophisticated craftsmanship...

If this ten-thousand-year-old Cold Ironwood were used as raw material, it might be possible to forge a Fifth-Tier warship that could rival Nascent Soul!

The entire forest is a natural treasure trove.

If they can obtain it, the Qin Clan will surely be able to take another step forward and increase their clan strength several times over!

And the last glacial region—

It was a plateau composed of endless icebergs, where Spirit Plant and objects were scarce, and there were no numerous spiritual mineral veins, but the entire glacier itself...

It is indeed an excellent place for cultivation!

The occasional gushing springs, or the millennia-old ice at the heart of the glacier—these are all natural treasures of the Ice Dao...

After only a cursory glance, Qin Zheng discovered hundreds of millennia-old ice mountain ranges, and even found several ice caves containing millennia-old cold marrow!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this place is full of treasures!

No wonder the Ice and Snow Demon Race mobilized their entire force back then, nearly annihilating almost 90% of the Demon King. Although some escaped, they were not seriously harmed...

And yet, only a short time has passed.

Within this ancestral court, the number of Demon King Demon King grown from a few to twenty-seven. With such a treasure land, it's no wonder the Ice and Snow Demon Race has been able to survive until now...

It was destroyed once 50,000 years ago, then again 30,000 years ago, and then once more 10,000 years ago when it was expanding into the Northern Continent...

Then, a hundred years ago, the Qin Clan led the effort to wipe out the Ice and Snow Demon Race once again!

If Qin Zheng hadn't found the ancestral court and annihilated this group of Demon King, the Ice and Snow Demon Race might have made a comeback in a year or two...

Thinking about all this, Qin Zheng couldn't help but sigh...
