Chapter 772: Ancient God Treasury

Chapter 775: The Ancient Divine Treasure

Within the Divine Land, ancient, towering palaces stretched endlessly.

A group of barbarian warriors conquered one grand hall after another. Most of them were filled with swirling mists, rising colorful clouds, and ethereal immortal energy, with treasures abundant everywhere.

When another ancient hall was breached, a brilliant light surged forth. Divine pearls, inscribed with mysterious patterns and shining like stars, floated within. Cultivating in this place could double one's progress.

The barbarian warriors gasped in astonishment. They had never seen such precious rarities, usually associating with strange birds and fighting fierce beasts, content with a single wolf-tooth club in the vast wilderness where they lived.

Upon breaching yet another massive palace, divine radiance soared to the sky. Inside were piles upon piles of divine sources, so dazzling they made it hard to open one's eyes. They came in various sizes – fist-sized, head-sized, and face-sized – and in all colors, suspended like a multitude of suns, truly mesmerizing and stirring.

The Wang family had ruled the Northern Plains for hundreds of thousands of years, accumulating an astonishing amount of treasures since ancient times.

Within the Divine Land, resistance had dwindled. The pure land was stained with blood, skeletons lay everywhere, and the iron cavalry rumbled past, trampling over the bodies of the powerful.

This was the fate of an annihilated clan. All glory ceased to matter. After an era of prosperity, only endless mournful laments remained, everything recorded in blood, leaving behind only sorrow and desolation.

When the next palace was opened, countless ancient weapons clanged and buzzed. Many soared skyward, attempting to fly in all directions and escape.

This was an armory where every item was already imbued with spirits; any piece would fetch an exorbitant price at auction. Conquering such an armory held immense significance for the barbarian tribe, as they urgently needed these weapons. Many warriors' eyes widened in awe.

When yet another massive palace was breached, a rich herbal fragrance filled the air, invigorating all the weary cultivators. The palace was vibrantly colorful, displaying various jade bottles shimmering with clear light, and many alchemy furnaces emitting a fragrant, refreshing aroma. The sheer number of precious elixirs was unimaginable!

The Wang family's accumulated wealth was incredibly vast. With hundreds, even thousands, of ancient halls, their combined reserves were beyond imagination!

This represented hundreds of thousands of years of heritage. Countless precious materials and many unheard-of wonders glittered brilliantly, dazzling and mesmerizing, almost causing one to lose themselves.

Here were mountains of source stones, world-shaking ancient medicines tens of thousands of years old, incomplete sacred weapons, profound and immortal ancient scriptures, and mysterious Primordial killing formations.

This was a divine treasure trove. Conquering an ancient aristocratic family meant encountering their immense wealth and dazzling collections, so rich and splendid they would leave one petrified and stunned.

Compared to an ancient aristocratic family's holdings, legendary treasures or immortal legacies would appear meager and incomparable.

The barbarian warriors were generally simple, yet now they were almost lost. Many looked dazed; compared to their usual lives among wild beasts in deep mountains and ancient ridges, what they saw before them was too luxurious and dreamlike.

The thought that all of this would belong to them felt incredibly unreal. Having long been accustomed to a primitive life of eating raw meat and blood and roaming the forests, being confronted with such wonders left them bewildered.

The Barbarian King frowned, standing atop a palace. He roared, "Children, do not let what you see shake your iron-like will. I brought you to war, first, to avenge our people, and second, to train the troops, to let everyone experience the baptism of blood and fire. Only then can you become true ancient barbarian warriors. In the future, we may have even greater, harsher battles to fight. This is merely the prelude to a magnificent chapter, all just a rehearsal, using this war to temper you."

As soon as these words were uttered, they served as a profound awakening, making all the barbarian warriors alert. Their eyes regained clarity, and they became solemn once more.

Several ancient pines soared into the clouds. As the chilling wind blew, the rustling of their branches sounded like the roar of the sea.

In front of an ancient tree resembling a coiled dragon, stood an old, weathered stone hall. It housed scriptures and secret texts left by the Wang family's powerful figures throughout the generations.

Ye Fan stood by the window, holding an ancient scripture, engrossed in its study. For a time, he was deeply immersed in its profound mysteries, unable to pull himself away.

Yan Yixi and Li Tian were also poring over texts, while the Barbarian Elder was diligently searching on the other side. The ground was in disarray, with many ancient books damaged.

The Wang family hastily retreated, attempting to destroy this place, but several masters discovered their intentions immediately, preventing complete success and thus leaving many scriptures behind.

"Found it!"

After an unknown period, Ye Fan was startled awake, finding Li Tian, the Barbarian Elder, and Yan Yixi covered in blood, almost torn apart.

The Barbarian King stood nearby, clutching his stone axe, his chest rising and falling. He had evidently used a sacred weapon to block an attack. They had opened a mysterious ancient cave, where several scrolls of scriptures floated within.

"An ancient scripture written by a Human Race Great Sage!"

The first scripture was soon taken into their hands. It felt heavy, and they couldn't discern its material; it seemed neither gold nor wood.

After opening the ancient book, they were immediately captivated. This was a scripture written by the Wang family's progenitor, containing the clan's highest and unfathomably profound secret methods.

This was undoubtedly a great gain. The scripture of a Human Race Great Sage could sustain a clan's prosperity for generations, and its various profound mysteries were worth a lifetime of study.

Afterward, several other scrolls were opened. These were also ancient scriptures, left by several Saints who had created their own unique cultivation methods.

Not all Saints could forge their own path; only a few exceptionally talented ones could. Those who managed to leave behind a lineage were formidable, expounding different great Dao of Heaven and Earth and secret techniques.

The last scroll caused a great stir among them. Everyone's expression became solemn, and even the Barbarian King pushed forward to get a closer look.

The "Ancient Chaos Scripture"—these three characters seemed to possess a strange magic! They drew the spirits of everyone, making them want to delve into it. This was an ancient scripture left by Emperor Luangu.

Wang Teng, in his youth, was carried away by an immortal crane and received the inheritance of Emperor Luangu, so it was clear that he had brought this back.

Their hearts were restless as they carefully examined it. They felt a slight regret, as it only contained the first three volumes of the mental cultivation methods: Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, and Four Extremities. The Dragon Transformation and Immortal Terrace volumes were missing, and there were no world-shaking secret techniques created by Emperor Luangu.

By now, Ye Fan did not lack mental cultivation methods. What he most yearned for were the final secret chapters of the ancient emperors' scriptures, which were rumored to contain supreme forbidden techniques.

The Barbarian Elder laughed heartily. Contentment brings joy, and conquering a great ancient aristocratic family, with hundreds of thousands of years of treasures as world-shaking spoils of war, left him with nothing to regret.

"Little Brother Ye, you can look them over and copy a set of the scriptures," said the Barbarian Elder.

Ye Fan, Li Tian, and Yan Yixi naturally didn't feign modesty. They generously stepped forward and began to study them diligently. While they didn't lack mental cultivation methods, they hoped to gain some enlightening insights.

That night, beacon fires soared into the sky across the Northern Plains, and battle cries were incessant. The Wang family was a colossal entity, deeply rooted and sprawling, with endless properties and training grounds everywhere, all becoming targets of attack.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. When the Wang family was at its peak, intimidating the Northern Plains, no one dared to provoke them. But now, with the barbarian iron cavalry having flattened them, all their enemies surged out for revenge.

Across the Northern Plains, beacon fires blazed with warfare, and fierce battles ensued. Even major sects with no previous enmity towards the Wang family joined in, all solely for the sake of seizing benefits.

Various source mines, cultivation sanctuaries, and auction houses containing astonishing rare materials—all these places became battlegrounds.

The Wang family's Divine Land was completely uprooted. How could the people in the other territories possibly resist?

Of course, the fighting would not end quickly. It was predictable that various battles and pursuits would continue for a long time to come.

The Wang family was annihilated!

That night, a myriad of troops poured into the Northern Plains. The forces from other major domains must have been top-tier great sects, as they wouldn't have been able to wage cross-domain warfare otherwise.

Many rushed directly to the Wang family's Divine Land, hoping to gain the greatest benefits. There were ancient scriptures, supreme sacred weapons, countless resources, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, chariots, ancient ships, royal weapons, and ancient medicines piled up like mountains—it was an unparalleled divine treasure trove.

Not to mention swallowing it all, even getting just a small share would be infinitely beneficial, considering it was once an immortal ancient aristocratic family!

However, many great sects could only look on enviously, because the barbarian army unceremoniously unleashed the Human Race Great Sage's stone axe, which hung high outside the Divine Land. Anyone daring to force their way in would surely be instantly cleaved.

Furthermore, people learned a terrifying fact: a Saint-level Primordial ancestral beast of the Wang family had been suppressed by the barbarians. This outcome sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Many great sects could only watch from afar. Not a single person dared to break in. The strength of these iron cavalry, capable of flattening an ancient aristocratic family, was terrifying, and no one wanted to court disaster.

Within the Divine Land, massive warships ascended one after another, then vanished into the domain gates. Each ship was laden with heavenly materials and earthly treasures, their brilliance illuminating the world.

People were incredibly envious, but not a single person dared to snatch anything. They could only watch helplessly.

One fortress after another, forged from refined gold, also ascended. All these powerful war tools left by the Wang family now belonged to the barbarians.

Each ancient war fortress was filled with source stones, ancient medicines, weapons, and divine materials. This kind of unimaginable harvest could be squandered for countless generations.

The Barbarian King had once roared, warning his descendants not to lose themselves to material desires, yet now he himself couldn't help but sigh at how immense the spoils were.

Hundreds of ancient chariots, warships, and fortresses continuously ascended, but they still couldn't transport all these items. In the end, they had to use the small internal worlds of the Saints to collect them.

Treasures like mountains, wonders like oceans, continuously disappeared. In the end, the Barbarian King was incredibly thorough, moving all the ancient halls and even their foundations, collecting them into his stone axe.

"How thorough! This is truly 'scraping the earth three feet deep,' no, 'thirty zhang deep'—not even a single hair was left!"

In the distance, the many great sects waiting around were all disappointed. Some couldn't help but grumble resentfully but dared not speak loudly.

After a day and a night, the barbarian army withdrew completely. Many great sects then entered the Divine Land and began a carpet search of their own.

Because the foundations of an ancient aristocratic family were too profound, there might still be some hidden treasures remaining. These people literally 'scraped the earth three hundred zhang deep,' even more thoroughly than the barbarian army!

To everyone's surprise, some great sects actually unearthed secret chambers and obtained quite a few significant treasures.

"Ah..." In the Southern Ridge, Wang Teng went mad, his hair disheveled, standing on an ancient imperial war chariot. His eyes like a wild beast's, he let out a shrill scream, his expression utterly ferocious.

He had entered the Southern Ridge specifically to kill Ye Fan, only to find that in a single night, Ye Fan had led the barbarian army into the Northern Plains and flattened his family.

"He really came back..." In the Southern Ridge, on a sheer cliff, Li Xiaoman's white clothes fluttered. Her eyes were cold as she gazed towards the Northern Plains.

"Little Yezi, you led tens of thousands of iron cavalry to flatten an ancient aristocratic family!" In the Eastern Wasteland, Ji Family's Little Moon's eyes sparkled as she gazed into the distance.

The success of this single battle shook the world. Everyone was stunned, and many major powers felt a chill, especially the Yin-Yang Sect of Central State.

In the Northern Region of the Eastern Wasteland, an ancient mountain stood like a demonic wall, bisecting the nine heavens and ten lands. A blurry male figure, with hands clasped behind his back, muttered to himself, "The Human Race's Sacred Body is somewhat interesting; it's worth my effort to kill him."
