Chapter 1769 A Busy Journey Home!
Then,
Cheng Buzheng reached out and flicked his hand, and an ancient-looking jade slip fell into his palm.
The jade slip was warm to the touch, and its surface was embossed with a lifelike golden dragon, its scales and claws flying.
It exudes a sense of ancient and majestic grandeur.
"good."
He ran his fingertips along the surface of the jade slip, feeling the faint spiritual pressure contained within.
"The material of this jade slip is indeed from the same source as the one that records the [Sacrifice Method for the Dragon Pearl]."
They were all meticulously crafted from rare, first-grade spirit jade.
He stared intently for a moment, and then his vast divine sense surged forth like a tide, silently disappearing into the depths of the jade slip.
In an instant, countless profound runes and thoughts flowed, and an obscure and complex method clearly appeared in his mind.
however,
Just a few breaths later, Cheng Buzheng's brows furrowed slightly.
He put down the jade slip and quickly picked up another one.
One, two, three...
He looked up the information very quickly, but his brows furrowed more and more, almost forming a deep frown.
These jade slips, treasured and kept deep within the Golden Dragon Clan's secret vault, are regarded as the fundamental essence of the clan.
The contents recorded therein are all methods for the complete development of bloodline supernatural powers.
It might be very important to the Golden Dragon Clan.
It is an indispensable foundation.
Save it here...
That's understandable.
However, in the eyes of this venerable one who had already reached the realm of Nascent Soul and whose vision and knowledge far surpassed the ordinary, most of them were rather superficial and simplistic.
Or it may have extremely strict requirements regarding bloodline.
Or perhaps the increase in power is limited.
It's hard to call it amazing.
"Ugh……"
After a long while, he gently put down the last jade slip in his hand and let out a barely audible sigh.
A hint of disappointment, hard to conceal, flashed across his eyes.
But soon, he shook his head and comforted himself:
"That's enough."
Obtaining even a single silver page of the celestial book on this trip was an immense and unexpected delight; the gains far exceeded expectations.
Why crave more?
His mind raced as he once again weighed the immense value of that silver-page book.
The [Heaven and Earth Sacrifice Ritual] itself is an incomparably profound and mysterious law-based technique, not to mention for now; just consider its vessel—
"Dao Wen"
Its value far exceeds that of ordinary spiritual objects, making it a rare and precious treasure.
At least in Cheng Buzheng's eyes, who understood the value of the Daoist text, its value was simply immeasurable.
Thinking of this, Cheng Buzheng's frustration caused by the unsatisfactory contents of the jade slip dissipated considerably.
He regained his composure, his deep gaze sweeping across the surroundings like a cold lightning bolt.
At this moment, the Golden Dragon Clan's secret vault, which was once radiant with precious light and heavily guarded, was now empty and desolate.
As if swept by a gale,
Nothing of value remained.
"To be on the safe side, it's best not to leave any loose ends."
Standing in the secret vault, Cheng Buzheng looked around and thought to himself.
He has always been extremely cautious in his actions. Even though his cultivation has reached the pinnacle of this world, he still maintains the habits he developed when he was weak.
With a seemingly casual flick of his sleeve, an invisible and intangible power, yet imbued with an aura of extreme destruction, quietly spread out.
Like a gentle breeze gliding across the water,
In an instant, every inch of the secret vault was thoroughly cleaned.
All traces of his presence, magical energy, and even the slightest hint of his power were completely erased in that instant.
It was as if no one had ever set foot here.
"In this way, even if a powerful expert skilled in tracking and tracing shadows were to come, they would not be able to find any trace of me in this 'absolutely clean' place."
Cheng Buzheng silently congratulated himself, quite satisfied with his flawless handling of the situation.
Obviously.
Even though Cheng Buzheng was already a top expert in this world, a Nascent Soul Venerable, and the only remaining Nascent Soul cultivator after all the Nascent Soul cultivators of the two races had perished.
His cultivation level remained unchanged, but his status in the cultivation world became increasingly prestigious.
But this ingrained "steadiness" in him has long been ingrained in his very being.
It became his crucial reliance in the perilous world of cultivation, allowing him to gradually ascend to the pinnacle.
next moment,
With a slight sway, he vanished like a ghost into the once-dead, dim starry river.
Only the empty vault remained, silently recounting everything that had just happened in the void.
……
After a few hours,
Countless miles away from the ancestral land of the Golden Dragon Clan...
Deep within a void layer that is extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to reach.
A barely perceptible ripple spread through the space, and a figure quietly appeared.
Who else could this be but Cheng Buzheng!
However, his current location is extremely far from the ancestral land of the Golden Dragon Clan, separated by hundreds of vast seas.
Its distance is so vast that it almost spans the entire territory of the Endless Sea from south to north.
To be able to traverse such a terrifying distance in such a short time, aside from the support of his profound cultivation at the Nascent Soul stage,
His mastery of top-tier escape techniques also played a crucial role.
Cheng Buzheng's gaze was as sharp as a sword, easily piercing through the void barrier in front of him, and looking out at the vast, boundless ocean.
Based on the nautical chart, he had already reached the target sea area.
"Based on this location and the information we have gathered, this deep sea below should be the ancestral home of the sea serpent clan."
He muttered to himself, a glint of anticipation in his eyes.
"I hope this trip will yield further results."
of course,
The standard he used to describe "not bad" had already been lowered.
After all, the Golden Dragon Clan has a long history and unfathomable foundation, far surpassing other top clans.
The Sea Serpent Clan has only recently risen to the top ranks, so their accumulated experience is inevitably relatively shallow.
Cheng Buzheng had already lowered his expectations, hoping to achieve half of what the Golden Dragon Clan had gained, which would have been enough for him.
Once the mind is made up,
Without further hesitation, he lightly stepped into the air, his figure once again merging into the void, and diving towards the deep underwater ancestral land below.
……
About half an hour later...
In the same void interlayer, Cheng Buzheng's figure reappeared silently once again.
At this moment, his expression appeared calm and composed, but his slightly furrowed brows...
However, it clearly shows that the result was far from satisfactory.
"I never imagined that the secret vault of the mighty sea serpent clan would be so... barren."
He shook his head inwardly.
"Aside from some rare and precious spiritual items of decent quality, we haven't even seen a single law-based spiritual item."
Not to mention the fragments of the Heavenly Book of the Spirit Realm.
A strong sense of disparity welled up inside me.
Compared to the rich rewards in the Golden Dragon Clan's secret vault, what we got here seemed rather meager.
"It seems that I was too optimistic before and overestimated the general strength of these top races."
Perhaps the Golden Dragon Clan is the exception.
He thought about it again and immediately felt relieved.
The fact that this vast sea area is named "True Dragon Sea" already demonstrates the special status of the Golden Dragon Clan.
In ancient times and even further back, the True Dragon Sea was a territory dominated solely by the Golden Dragon Clan.
Its true strength and foundation...
Naturally, this is something that other elite groups living in the endless sea cannot achieve.
As for the other top races, they were all 'crowded' in the Endless Sea, but with the rise of the human race...
Only a portion of the Endless Sea has been occupied by the human race.
Only after the other top clans reached an agreement with the Golden Dragon Clan did they move their ancestral land to the True Dragon Sea.
That's how we got to where we are today.
Thinking about it this way, the abundance of the Golden Dragon Clan's secret treasury seems quite reasonable.
but!
After this incident, Cheng Buzheng couldn't help but lower his expectations for future goals once again.
……
Time flies, and a day and a night have passed in the blink of an eye.
In this day and night...
Without stopping, Cheng Buzheng, relying on his extraordinary cultivation and ability to conceal himself, successively "visited" the ancestral secret vaults of several other top clans.
The next day!
In the void above a certain open sea in the True Dragon Sea...
As a streak of light sped toward the Baoyang Sea area of the Zhenhai Alliance at an alarming speed,
Cheng Buzheng finally had some free time to take stock of the total gains from this trip.
In the flowing light,
As he rode the escape light, he silently calculated:
"The greatest gain from this journey was undoubtedly the fragment of the Spirit Realm Heavenly Book obtained from the Golden Dragon Clan's secret treasury. This was an opportunity that could not be sought after."
Secondly, there are the three Law-based spiritual objects in the Golden Dragon Clan's secret vault, and... the one in the Black Tortoise Clan's secret vault.
Mentioning the Xuan Turtle Clan, a hint of lingering fear flashed across Cheng Buzheng's eyes.
He never expected that deep within the seemingly unassuming Xuan Turtle Clan's secret realm, there was actually an ancient demon lord slumbering!
If he hadn't habitually pushed his concealment and reconnaissance skills to the limit, and hadn't sensed that faint yet chillingly terrifying aura beforehand,
It's likely that the restrictions have already been triggered, awakening that terrifying being.
In that secret realm suppressed by a fifth-order grand formation, facing a Nascent Soul demon lord who had been alerted...
His physical body has no chance of survival; all his gains will be lost.
That would be a complete loss!
"Thank goodness, thank goodness..." he thought to himself.
"It was precisely because the demon lord was in a deep slumber and the defenses were slightly relaxed that I was able to sneak into his treasure vault with great difficulty."
Not only did they plunder a large number of rare and precious items,
Even more fortunately, they obtained that wood-attribute spiritual object.
Besides the Xuan Turtle Clan, he also made a gain in the treasure vault of the Lingxiao Tiger Clan, obtaining a powerful and imposing golden law spirit artifact.
"A total of five Law-based spiritual objects and one page of the Silver Heavenly Book—these are the core gains of this trip."
Cheng Buzheng already knew what was going on.
As for the vast quantities of rare and precious items, top-grade magical treasures, ancient elixirs, talismans, formations, secret manuals, etc.,
Although there was a wide variety of items, most of them were no longer of much use to him at the moment.
Only treasures like the [Spirit Rhinoceros Pill], which can assist in comprehending the laws, can offer him some benefit.
However, Cheng Buzheng did not intend to use these treasures himself.
To maximize the value of these treasures, it is best to have them refined and consumed by a half-saint realm expert.
Perhaps, there is a sliver of a chance to comprehend the rhythm of the laws, thereby breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm.
"Um!
These treasures that aid in enlightenment are useful to me, but their effects are ultimately limited; they only require me to spend more time cultivating.
It would be better to leave it to Wanwan (my wife), perhaps that can help her reach the threshold of the rules.
If there is any surplus, it will be stored in the family treasury, which can be considered as leaving a chance for the Cheng family descendants to ascend to heaven.
In an instant, he made a decision about the ownership of these treasures.
"Those top-grade magic treasures will also be left to the family, as my final support for my bloodline descendants."
As for those magical artifacts of sensitive origin, those that cannot be made public, and the numerous rare treasures that are ultimately useless...
Let them all serve as resources for the advancement of my natal spiritual treasure, the Chaos Dao Tribulation Sword!
correct!
The collected scriptures, secret techniques, and supernatural abilities should also be copied upon returning home to enrich the family's library.
He subconsciously pressed his hand against the seemingly ordinary but actually powerful storage bag at his waist, planning his arrangements for his return.
This achievement is enough to elevate the family's prestige to a new level.
This also laid an incredibly solid foundation for the future of the Cheng Clan.
however,
Just as Cheng Buzheng relaxed slightly and silently planned for the future...
A sudden change occurred!
The void layer ahead, which had been as calm as an ancient ice field, suddenly emitted a teeth-grinding "crack" sound without warning!
The sound did not come from one place, but from all directions.
It was as if the very structure of the void was being forcibly broken and crushed from the inside by an irresistible force!
Immediately afterwards, the void within sight shattered into pieces, like a broken glass mirror!
"Tsk-!"
An even more terrifying and ear-piercing tearing sound exploded!
A massive, deep, dark crack, its edges shimmering with chaotic silver light, burst open first, its length stretching as far as the eye could see, far exceeding ten thousand miles!
And this was just the beginning, seemingly triggering a chain reaction.
The first crack hadn't fully opened yet, but the second, the third...
Countless equally grotesque and terrifying spatial rifts have sprung up like a wildly spreading spiderweb, or like the countless ravines that have cracked open after the earth has dried up.
It spread and expanded wildly in all directions at a speed beyond comprehension!
Beyond the crack lies not pure darkness, but a surging, chaotic spatial current filled with an aura of destruction and death!
The visible gray-white turbulent flow resembled a bursting dam of a galaxy, or a world-destroying tide from the deepest abyss, bursting forth with a terrifying aura that could annihilate all matter and energy!
This destructive torrent came too fast and too fiercely!
Almost in the blink of an eye,
Cheng Buzheng's entire perception of the void dimensions—both in front, to the left, right, up, and down—was completely swallowed and submerged by this endless, extremely violent spatial turbulence.
The previously stable void interlayer was assimilated and eroded in that instant.
It became an integral part of that vast and extremely dangerous turbulent space layer!
In an instant, the world spun and the void collapsed!
What comes into view...
The void no longer resembled its original form; it was filled with distorted light, shattered fragments of space, and a destructive torrent that roared, churned, and seemed intent on tearing apart any intruders!
A true dead zone, a space that even Nascent Soul cultivators must be wary of!
This change came too suddenly and too violently!
Even with Cheng Buzheng's Nascent Soul Realm cultivation and reaction time...
In that instant, he was also unable to completely avoid the rapidly expanding turbulence.
"Oh no! The storage bag!"
Cheng Buzheng's pupils suddenly contracted.
Faced with this spatial calamity capable of annihilating an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, his first concern was not his own safety—
With his cultivation level and physical strength, he could protect himself in the spatial turbulence for a short period of time.
There is also enough reaction time.
The use of spatial teleportation, this supernatural power, comes with its own mysteries...
