Cangling Immortal Clan

There was also a gray-clad man in front of the treasure vault. His aura was as impeccable as that of the man named Gui, but he also possessed a power that made Ye Linyuan's heart tremble.

"Another being surpassing the Quasi-Saint level. Is this the true potential of the human race?"

Ye Linyuan was surprised, but greeted the man as usual.

The man smiled and replied in the same way, "I'm just a loser too, so just call me 'Huan'."

“This treasure vault is an important place for the human race. You can follow behind me later.”

The man named Huan calmly spoke, took the token, and opened the treasure vault door for Ye Linyuan.

Ye Linyuan nodded, and then followed Huan into the treasure vault.

The two stepped into the human treasure vault, and Ye Linyuan began to observe the entire vault. He was soon greatly shocked by the wonders within.

He only glanced at it briefly, but he discovered that there were more than ten thousand treasures inside, all of which were rare and hard to find in the outside world.

"Surprised?"

Huan smiled slightly, then asked.

Ye Linyuan nodded, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Tens of thousands of mysterious and wondrous objects—this is a treasure trove that I could hardly even imagine."

What you've seen is just the tip of the iceberg.

Huan shook his head and calmly said.

Ye Linyuan was shocked, and then Huan began to introduce this treasure trove of the human race.

As the supreme treasure vault of the human race's holy temple, this vault has three levels, containing only true Xuan Tian treasures. No rare items below the sixth rank are qualified to enter.

The first layer of these three treasure vaults contains ordinary Xuan Tian treasures, including elixirs, medicines, immortal gold, rare treasures, and various other Xuan Tian items.

What Ye Linyuan saw before him was only a part of the first layer of the treasure vault. In this treasure vault, the Xuan Tian treasures of different attributes and different functions were stored in categories.

There are at least dozens of such places where treasures are stored.

"Such profound heritage, it truly deserves to be called the Holy Temple of the Human Race."

Ye Linyuan exclaimed in amazement, witnessing for the first time the profound depths of the Eternal Heaven Realm.

According to his estimate, the combined resources of all the races in the ancient Nine Heavens Realm were probably less than one-thousandth of the treasure trove of the Human Race Temple.

"But it's all good. With these rare treasures, the advancement of the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower should not be a problem."

Ye Linyuan muttered to himself, but still couldn't help asking, "With so many Xuan Tian spiritual objects, the amount of Xuan Tian Qi cultivated must be enormous. Does our human race have that much Xuan Tian Qi?"

"Most of the rare and wondrous things here are rare and wondrous plants. The Dao Ancestor has mastered the art of cultivating herbs, which can greatly reduce the losses in cultivating ordinary rare and wondrous plants."

Huan spoke calmly, then said lightly, "There are even rumors that he can successfully cultivate Xuan Tian spiritual plants without consuming Xuan Tian Qi."

"Of course, this is just a rumor. You can ask your ancestor for the specifics yourself."

"I see."

Ye Linyuan nodded, finally understanding why the two Dao Ancestors had told him that he could take as many ordinary Xuan Tian treasures as he needed, as long as they were useful to him.

If the miraculous technique of cultivating herbs can truly ignore the need for Xuan Tian Qi and directly upgrade a fifth-order spiritual plant to a sixth-order Xuan Tian item.

For the Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Medicines, such ordinary Xuan Tian rare items were simply basic resources that could be mass-produced. They were not particularly amazing items, and it was not a big deal for him to take them at will.

However, this seems reasonable. After all, the art of cultivating medicinal herbs is the most skilled art of the Great Dao, and it touches upon the most primitive rules of the Great Dao, so it should far surpass the Xuan Tian Qi.

Only this possibility can explain why there are so many mysterious and wondrous objects in this place.

After all, cultivating Xuan Tian spiritual plants requires Xuan Tian Qi, and ninety-nine percent of the Xuan Tian wonders in this treasure trove are Xuan Tian spiritual plants.

If each one were to be nurtured using Xuan Tian Qi, it would likely require hundreds of thousands of strands of Xuan Tian Qi, which is practically impossible.

After all, even if all races in the entire Eternal Heaven Realm worked together, it would be difficult to gather hundreds of thousands of strands of Xuan Tian Qi in a short period of time.

Not to mention that the mystical treasures in this treasury are likely what humanity has left over from its continuous consumption.

"Since there are so many treasures here, I'll shamelessly take a few more."

Since there are so many ordinary Xuan Tian treasures here, Ye Linyuan has no intention of being polite.

After all, the power and foundation of his Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower were too strong, and it would be too difficult for him to fully upgrade it to a Profound Heaven Spiritual Treasure.

The resources it consumes are probably dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary Xuan Tian spiritual treasures.

He kept selecting various rare treasures, choosing more than three thousand sets of Xuan Tian rare treasures in one go, preparing to refine them all into the Myriad Transformation Immortal Tower to advance the Myriad Transformation Immortal Tower.

According to Ye Linyuan's estimate, once these more than three thousand Xuan Tian treasures are completely digested, the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower will grow to a full thirty-three stories.

At that time, the power of the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower will be enhanced to an unbelievable level, and its power will probably be much stronger than that of the Nine-Patterned Profound Heaven Sacred Weapon.

After selecting the treasures for advancing to the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower, Ye Linyuan also took some medicinal ingredients for cultivating the Myriad Transformations Body and various supernatural abilities, totaling only a few hundred portions.

However, such a mysterious and precious object would be extremely rare and hard to come by in the outside world, and even a single one would be very valuable to a Void Refining Supreme.

Now that hundreds of portions have been collected at once, Ye Linyuan has saved at least hundreds of thousands of years of his accumulated wealth.

After all, cultivating the Xuan Tian spiritual root requires consuming Xuan Tian Qi, and ordinary sixth-order spiritual plant cultivators have a high probability of failure.

With Ye Linyuan's current abilities, cultivating so many sixth-order Xuan Tian treasures would be an almost unbearable task, both in terms of cost and difficulty.

"We already have enough ordinary Xuan Tian items."

Ye Linyuan murmured to himself, satisfied as he put away all the treasures.

Na Huan was stunned and couldn't help but ask in shock, "Can you use up all these rare and precious treasures?"

"That should be enough for now."

Ye Linyuan spoke, estimating that these treasures combined should allow the Myriad Transformations Immortal Tower to grow to the limit of an ordinary Xuan Tian spiritual treasure.

The next level up requires top-grade Xuan Tian spiritual items, which are not something that can be easily collected.

"Is this enough for now?"

Huan was somewhat amused by the situation, but still said, "Fine, since the Dao Ancestor has spoken, I won't say anything more."

"These treasures are rare and precious. If you have no use for them, please return them to me in the future."

"Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. If I really don't need it, I will return it."

Ye Linyuan nodded, then said, "Please take me to the second floor, fellow Daoist."

Huan didn't say anything more and led Ye Linyuan all the way to the second floor.

Upon arriving at the second level of the treasure vault, Ye Linyuan clearly felt that the treasures here had been significantly cleaned up; there were only a few thousand treasures in the entire second level of the treasure vault.

However, the treasures here are all top-grade Xuan Tian rare treasures with five or more patterns. Most of them have five or six patterns, but there are also quite a few Xuan Tian rare treasures with seven or even eight patterns.

Ye Linyuan could select thirty-six of these top-grade Xuan Tian treasures. He seized this rare opportunity and chose mostly seven- or eight-patterned Xuan Tian treasures.

These rare and precious treasures are mostly items that can assist in comprehending supernatural powers and cultivating, which is enough for Ye Linyuan to cultivate various cultivation arts and myriad transformation supernatural powers to the sixth-level high-grade level.

Huan didn't say much about it. He felt it was fine for Ye Linyuan to take away the treasures that were useful to him. He just didn't want Ye Linyuan to take this opportunity to plunder treasures and take the human race's resources into his own pocket.

"Take me to the last floor."

Having accepted the treasure, Huan led Ye Linyuan into the third level of the treasure vault.

Here, Huan's expression grew increasingly solemn, and he said with great emotion, "This third layer of the treasure vault is the foundation of our human race. In the past, only holy sons were qualified to enter it."

"This is a rare opportunity, so you'd better choose something that will be of great use to you."

"Thank you, senior, for reminding me."

Ye Linyuan nodded, then looked towards the deepest part of the treasure vault.

He only glanced at it before revealing a look of surprise.

The third level of this core treasure vault contains very few treasures; the various treasures scattered throughout the vault amount to only a little over a hundred items in total.

However, each of these treasures is filled with endless Xuan Tian light, and each one is a Xuan Tian sacred object with nine Xuan Tian Dao patterns.

At the very center of all the treasures, a ten-colored ancient bead, shrouded in countless laws and Dao patterns, stood in the sky, radiating supreme power that illuminated the heavens.

"This third treasure vault is the true foundation of our human race. Every treasure here is something that countless supreme cultivators at the Void Refinement stage dream of."

"Especially that Primordial Ancient Pearl, it is a supreme treasure of the Primordial Era that has been left over to this day."

Huan recounted the story in detail, his tone revealing an extremely solemn expression.

Ye Linyuan didn't speak, but he understood the value of the third level of the treasure vault.

A rare artifact possessing nine profound Dao patterns is generally called a profound sacred artifact or a profound sacred object. Such a treasure is enough to become the supreme treasure that guards the world. Even among ancient clans that possess a Dao Ancestor at the Integration stage, the invincible geniuses at the Saint Son level who are born from them mostly refine spiritual treasures that are only of a certain level.

As for the Xuantian Treasure containing ten Xuantian Dao patterns, it is known as the Xuantian Supreme Treasure, which is extremely rare even among the Great Clans of the Integration Realm.

Aside from elixirs that can be cultivated artificially and some special treasures, there are no more than ten treasures of this level in the entire Eternal Heaven Realm.

The Chaos Pearl before us is one of the less than ten Xuan Tian Treasures.

"This Chaos Pearl is a legacy from the ancient times. More than ten saint-level figures of our human race have tried to control it. I also tried to refine it back then, but in the end, everyone failed."

"Legend has it that only those who possess the spiritual roots of Yin and Yang, the Three Powers and the Five Elements can barely control this Primordial Ancient Pearl, but the success rate is actually not very high."

"You need His permission to take it away."

Huan spoke calmly, his tone tinged with nostalgia.

Ye Linyuan remained silent. Possessing a chaotic spiritual root, he could vaguely sense that the gray-robed cultivator named Huan before him was extraordinary, and that this person's strength was absolutely unprecedented.

He had only ever felt this way with the Lord of Haotian Realm; it was a sense of oppression that only the tenth level of Void Refinement could bring him.

To reach the tenth level of Void Refinement, one must possess at least ten spiritual roots, which is necessary to cultivate ten laws.

However, Huan gave him a different feeling because this person did not have the Dao of Time, but had a pure Yang Dao.

Therefore, if Ye Linyuan's guess is correct, this person should possess the Three Talents and Five Elements, plus the Void Spirit Root and Yang Spirit Root, making him an invincible genius with ten spiritual roots.

The sundial that had brought him earlier seemed to be similar to this person, but it lacked the spatial aura of this person, yet possessed a familiar sense of time.

Therefore, the gray-robed cultivator named Gui most likely possessed a Time Spirit Root, but lacked an Empty Spirit Root compared to this person.

"Possessing ten spiritual roots, yet appearing mysterious and unpredictable, these two are likely from the human race's core. It's just unknown how many such beings exist among the human race."

Ye Linyuan's mind flickered with thoughts, but he quickly suppressed them.

He calmly approached the Primordial Bead and, with a flick of his sleeve, took the ancient bead into his palm.

Na Huan originally thought that the Primordial Ancient Pearl would not recognize Ye Linyuan, but he found that the pearl actually accepted him into his palm without any resistance.

"They didn't resist; on the contrary, they looked expectant."

"Could he be so amazing that even a supreme treasure like the Chaos Pearl would yearn to follow him?"

Huan was shocked, a look of astonishment on his face.

Ye Linyuan remained calm, gazing indifferently at the Chaos Pearl, and asked with a slight thought, "Do you yearn to merge with me?"

After receiving the Chaos Pearl, Ye Linyuan looked at the remaining rare treasures, his eyes filled with anticipation.

There are countless sacred treasures here. After careful selection, Ye Linyuan finally chose three rare treasures.

These three treasures are a Primordial Sword Crystal, a Mystic Heavenly Artifact called the Enlightenment Pearl, and a special rare treasure called a Fragment of the True Understanding of Laws.

Because Ye Linyuan would not encounter any danger in the Human Race Temple for the time being, the three treasures he chose were all artifacts that aided in cultivation.

Among them, the [Ancient Sword Crystal] has an extraordinary origin. This item is closely related to the Ancient Sword God, who is said to be one of the strongest god-kings in the ancient era, and whose combat power ranks among the top three among the ancient gods.

Later, the Primordial Sword God was killed by the Eternal Sword Venerable, and his Daoist temple and Dao essence were all refined into the Eternal Heaven Realm, becoming the supreme treasure land of the Eternal Heaven Realm, the Primordial Sword Abyss.

The Primordial Sword Crystal is a rare treasure born from the Primordial Sword Abyss. This item is extremely beneficial to sword cultivation, and every time it is born, it is fiercely contested by various forces.

The nine-patterned ancient sword crystal before us is even more precious; even the human race's treasury only possesses one such piece.

The remaining two treasures are the Enlightenment Pearl, which can enhance a cultivator's comprehension and help True Immortals of the Void Refinement realm comprehend the profound divine powers and laws.

As for the [Fragment of the True Explanation of the Laws], it is a supreme treasure, a fragment of the True Explanation of the Laws. Legend has it that this treasure has three pages, and the human race only has one page in its possession.

The True Explanation of the Laws is all-encompassing, with too much and too complicated content, making cultivation extremely difficult. In addition, due to its incompleteness, it is not very useful for ordinary Void Refinement Supremes.

But for Ye Linyuan, this fragment of the true explanation of the law was an unparalleled treasure.

For someone like Ye Linyuan, who aspires to walk the path of myriad paths, this extraordinary treasure, which explains the laws at the fundamental level, is an indispensable and supreme treasure.

After all, if one understands one law, one understands all laws. If Ye Linyuan wants to master all laws, he must fully grasp the foundation and principles of these laws.

"The complete explanation of the laws is the first supreme treasure of the Primordial Heaven. Legend has it that it encompasses the power of time and space, yin and yang, the three powers, and the five elements. It is a thing that encompasses all laws of the universe."

"Unfortunately, the true explanation of this law is now incomplete, and it would be extremely difficult for you to comprehend it."

Seeing Ye Linyuan take the fragment of the True Explanation of the Laws, Huan couldn't help but speak up.

Ye Linyuan nodded, but couldn't help asking, "Where are the remaining two fragments of the True Explanation of Laws?"

"One copy is with the Celestial Race, and the other was taken to the Nine Nether Demon Realm by the Celestial Demon Race."

Huan spoke calmly, then sighed and said, "Legend has it that in the ancient times there were two supreme ancient books, namely the True Explanation of the Great Dao and the True Explanation of the Laws, which were respectively the first creation treasure and the first profound heaven treasure."

"This true explanation of the laws describes the laws of the heavens, and the true explanation of the Great Dao is a record of the myriad paths of the universe."

"Originally, these two treasures were the treasures of my human race. Unfortunately, after the internal strife of the human race, both treasures were lost. The true explanation of the laws was divided into three, and the true explanation of the Great Dao was divided into nine."

"If one day our human race can return to the pinnacle of the universe, we must bring back these two supreme ancient books."

"That day will come."

Ye Linyuan nodded, having set some goals for the future.

Huan said no more and led Ye Linyuan away from the treasure vault.

Outside the treasure vault, Na Gui had been waiting for a long time. When he came out, he asked, "Have you taken all the treasures?"

"Mm." Ye Linyuan nodded.

Seeing this, Gui said, "Then come with me."

After saying this, Gui left with Ye Linyuan.

After Ye Linyuan had completely left with him, another gray-clad man slowly appeared beside the gray-clad man named Huan, looking at Ye Linyuan's back and asking, "How did you feel?"

"He acquired many treasures, seemingly intending to pursue a path of inclusiveness."

Huan spoke calmly.

The man in gray frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "The path of inclusiveness may easily lead to a lack of depth and refinement."

“That’s what I’m worried about too,” Huan sighed, but then added, “However, with two Dao Ancestors present, this isn’t something we should be concerned about.”

"Indeed."

The man in gray nodded, but then Devon asked with a serious expression, "Do you think he can succeed?"

"I'm afraid the hope is slim." Huan shook his head and sighed, "Since the split of our human race, most of the human destiny has been lost."

"Without the help of luck and the Dao Gold, even if you gather all the opportunities for the Fusion Realm, the probability of breaking through is not high."

"Now, most of the resources of the two ancestors have been seized by various races at low prices, leaving us with limited opportunities to break through to the next level, which further reduces the difficulty of breaking through."

"Qi, you should understand that this is not the most crucial reason."

Huan continued speaking, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the gray-robed man named Qi's pupils flashed with indifference; he naturally understood the deeper reasons behind it.

"Over tens of millions of years, there have been dozens of holy sons of the human race, including invincible holy sons like you and me. Each of us has had at least one opportunity to break through, but none of us have succeeded."

"Is the reason behind this really just a matter of resources and luck?"

Huan continued speaking, each sentence filled with profound meaning.

Qi fell silent. One who had reached the eighth level of the Void Refinement Realm could become a Quasi-Holy Son of the Holy Temple, and only the strongest among the Quasi-Holy Sons could become the contemporary Holy Son of the Human Race.

For tens of millions of years, the human race has given birth to a Holy Son almost every million years. These people are all invincible figures at the ninth level of the Void Refinement Realm.

There are even occasional peerless geniuses at the tenth level of the Void Refinement stage, but in the end, none of them are able to break through to the Integration stage.

Many people believe that the reason why the human race cannot produce a new Dao Ancestor is because of the combination of factors such as resources, luck, and the weakness of the human race's physical body, which makes the probability of breakthrough relatively low.

However, as former holy sons of humanity, they knew the deeper reasons.

Ultimately, they do not want our human race to rise again.

Qi slowly clenched his fist, the killing intent in his pupils almost solidifying.

Huan sighed, then shook his head and said, "But what's the use of knowing? Neither you nor I have the power to change any of this."

"However, the fact that the two Dao Ancestors value him so highly shows that he must possess extraordinary abilities. I only hope that he can truly succeed and completely shatter this world for our human race." (End of this chapter)
