Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Chapter 362 The Treasure at the Top of the Mountain
The Ancestral God Religion, the place of treasures.

The canyon walls are steep and dangerous, with all kinds of strange plants growing on them, and streams gurgling among the rugged rocks.

"They say there are countless treasures hidden in the treasure land, but in all the long years I've been on Bauhinia Island, I've only seen treasures emerge a few times..."

An inheritor of an alien race was entrenched there, and the tip of his snake tail swept around casually, rubbing the rocks behind it clean.

"It's no good if treasures appear frequently. No matter how much treasure you have, it will eventually be used up over time."

Beside it was a strong green-skinned alien with flowers on his head. He glanced around casually and said boredly.

"It would be pointless if the treasure wasn't revealed. I've visited it nearly a million times, explored every rock and tree on every mountain, and even every lake, but I still haven't found a single trace."

"Oh, it would be great if a treasure could be revealed for me." The inheritor of the snake-tailed alien race coiled his body, his triangular eyes full of anticipation.

"Haha, just think about it!"

The green-skinned alien warrior laughed heartily and said, "Even the smallest treasure in this treasure land is worth as much as an ordinary treasure. The reason why such a huge amount of treasure can be accumulated is because the conditions for opening it are so harsh and complicated."

Although many inheritors of Bauhinia Island are peerless geniuses from various ethnic groups, they are still far behind the Ancestral God Religion in terms of ethnic heritage.

The chances of inheritance in the inheritance land are extremely limited. Apart from the time when it was given away for free, it is basically difficult to obtain it again. The secret land is too dangerous. If the Universe Venerable encounters danger, there is a high possibility that he will perish. At most, he can explore occasionally.

Therefore, besides practicing, the inheritors’ most common pastime is visiting treasure troves.

There is no danger and no time limit. If you are lucky enough to meet certain unlocking conditions, you may get a precious treasure that will be coveted by countless powerful people.

Therefore, no matter when, there are always a large number of powerful people gathering in the treasure land to search for it.

The opening of this treasure is also very strange.

The entire area covered by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake is under the control of the Ancestral God Cult. Anything done in this area will be known to the Ancestral God Cult's secret control system.

Including the Glory World, it is also within the scope of information collection of this control system.

When the super strong people in the Zushen Sect hide the treasure somewhere, they will also set conditions for opening the treasure. As long as the strong people who meet the conditions walk to the treasure, the treasure will automatically open.

Get the treasure...
You only need to meet two conditions: first, meet the treasure conditions, and second, come to the treasure.

The second condition seems to be the simplest, but some strong people will not give up even if they search everywhere and there is no response from the treasure place.

They began to spend more time on improving the Beast God inheritance, divine power strength, soul amplitude techniques, body amplitude techniques and so on.

Perhaps, this can also have a significant impact on the final outcome of the treasure opening.

……

On a certain mountain peak.

The two strong men were chatting with each other, when suddenly they both widened their eyes and looked in the same direction with surprise.

"That is….."

"how is this possible?"

"Why did he appear in this treasure place?"

The two alien warriors looked into the distance and saw two human warriors flying through the air. One of them was wearing scarlet armor and the other was covered in green armor.

They were all familiar with the former's identity, as he was the King of Death of the Human Alliance, and they had a deeper impression of the latter because both of them were in the Glory World and had queued up to send Glory Points to each other.

King Qingli!
They had already obtained detailed information about King Qingli's puppet body through various channels, and there were also many people in the Zushen Sect who used puppet bodies.

The range of activities allowed on Bauhinia Island is limited. Special life forms or races with huge divine bodies need to shrink their divine bodies to the restricted height if they want to walk or live on Bauhinia Island.

But this way.

The shrunken immortal bodies will greatly affect their own combat effectiveness. Although fighting and hurting others are not allowed on Bauhinia Island, many strong men are still not used to it.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for the inheritors of foreign races to walk around in puppet bodies in this ancestral god religion.

The Ancestral God Cult also acquiesced to this. After all, for the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, there was no difference between hiding in the world ring and showing up outside.

……

"It's King Qingli!"

"King Qingli is here!"

"Isn't King Qingli fighting in the Glory World? How did this treasure land appear?"

"Your information is outdated. The battle ended long ago."

Many of the inheritors of the mountains in the treasure land looked around from afar, and some even took off into the air, watching from high in the sky and quickly locked onto one direction.

I saw a young man in green armor flying through the air, flying directly towards the 108 mountains in the entire treasure land.

At this moment, the vast treasure land seemed to become lively in an instant, and many powerful people recognized the identity of the human in green armor.

"This is a ruthless person!"

"Just finished 120 million battles, and now I'm running to this treasure land."

"I just connected to the Glory World. The news that King Qingli appeared in the treasure land has completely exploded. It turned out to be him."

King Qingli appeared in the treasure land, and this explosive news spread at an astonishing speed.

Almost all of these alien warriors from all over the universe knew about this "invincible" king who had "defied the will of heaven". Even the few warriors who didn't care about the outside world soon learned about it from other warriors.

Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing this.

Off the charts!
"This is too fierce!"

"Over 120 million battles, that's over 12000 inheritance opportunities. With so many inheritance opportunities coming your way, as long as you're not a ferocious beast, you can definitely reach the level of Universe Venerable!"

Ferocious beast...

It is a life form in the universe that has great strength but extremely low intelligence, and has become a synonym for strong limbs and simple minds in the primitive universe.

……

"Look, King Qingli has gone to the highest mountain."

"It seems that King Qingli came to the treasure land to obtain treasure."

"Hey, aren't you talking nonsense? Who comes to the treasure land if not for the treasure?"

"The treasure land has 108 highest peaks, hiding the 108 most precious treasures. This trip is to the highest peak. This Qingli King is really ambitious."

"Of the 108 highest peaks in the treasure land, only 42 have been obtained by successors throughout history. The rest are still waiting for a destined being. It's so difficult to open them. I'm afraid King Qingli will return disappointed."

"Heh, the Glory World's million challenges were just taking advantage of the prophet. There's no such advantage to be had in the Treasure Land."

Many inheritors came after hearing the news. Some of them wanted to join in the fun, while others wanted to see with their own eyes the Qingli King, who was known among billions of races in the universe.

Yang Wu ignored the discussion of these people and flew straight towards the first peak.

However, he was not completely sure about the First Peak. Even though he had revealed his identity and life level as a Realm Master in the palace, he still did not know...

Is there a chance to get a treasure?

……

Among the many foreign inheritors far away, some were jealous of Yang Wu and even hated him.

"Humph!"

"What an arrogant guy, he went straight to the highest mountain." From the top of one of the mountains, a golden hunched figure jumped out, a pair of golden pupils filled with bloodthirsty murderous intent, and the whole person looked like a wild beast ready to pounce at any moment.

He is a cosmic sage, from a powerful tribe at the frontier of the universe. He was lucky enough to get a Beast God inheritance order, so he entered the Ancestral God Sect and became one of the hundreds of millions of triple inheritors.

He is jealous!
How come King Qingli was able to challenge 120 million battles as soon as he was crowned as a king and came to the Zushen Sect? That’s more than 12000 opportunities for inheritance.

He was a dignified Universe Lord, but he had only managed to get four opportunities to inherit the sect in millions of years, and he had won these opportunities from some newcomers by using various means.

The alien cosmic venerable looked on grimly, and after a moment couldn't help but sneer: "In the history of the Ancestral God Cult, even a Realm Lord-level extraordinary being has set foot on the highest peak, but no one has ever been able to open the treasure."

"How can a mere newly emerged Invincible King meet the requirements to unlock the treasure land?"

It is normal to visit a treasure trove. Most inheritors are there to watch the fun, but there will always be some inheritors who want to see Yang Wu fail out of "jealousy" and "hatred".

The human race is the top race, and has caused a lot of killings in the universe, which naturally arouses the hatred of many alien races. They not only hate the human race, but also the Hong Alliance led by the human race.

But the path taken by each peak ethnic group is full of blood and killing, and it is difficult to judge who is right and who is wrong due to the hatred between these ethnic groups.

Wow!
Yang Wu turned into a stream of light and flew through the air. Looking at the highest mountain in front of him, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

Whoosh!
He suddenly fell down, just as he stepped onto the top of the mountain...
"Boom..."

The entire mountain began to tremble, instantly attracting the attention of countless inheritors, and then the entire treasure land was boiling.

"The mountain is shaking!"

"Treasure, it must be treasure."

"Another treasure has been opened!"

The entire mountain was shaking more and more, and the huge noise it caused immediately attracted the attention of many inheritors in the treasure land.

For a moment, the inheritors who were originally either talking or searching for treasures, rose into the air one by one, and stared at the shaking mountain in the distance in all directions.

The mountains in the distance were shaking more and more violently, and their moods were changing drastically as well.

Although there were 26 inheritors standing on the top of the mountain, their eyes were all fixed on King Qingli who was wearing green armor.

"It's King Qingli!"

"I saw it clearly. As soon as King Qingli landed on the mountain, it immediately began to tremble."

"Could it be that he really triggered the conditions to unlock the treasure? This is the number one treasure at the highest peak!"

When these inheritors saw this scene, they all whispered and talked frantically.

"Damn it! Damn King Qingli!"

The pupils of some inheritors bulged as they stared at the green-armored figure among the inheritors on the mountain, cursing inwardly with gritted teeth.

They hated and despised humans, and hated everything or anyone related to humans. When they saw that King Qingli of the Hongmeng had a great chance of opening the treasure, they were naturally jealous to the point of being distorted in their faces.

How can it be?

That’s the highest mountain!

Any one of the legendary 108 great treasures has a value comparable to that of a treasure, let alone the highest peak ranked first.

How precious is the treasure?

Looking at the entire Ancestral God Sect, apart from those powerful Beast God practitioners who are comparable to the overlords of the universe, there are also a very small number of highly valued special lives such as the "Insect Chaser King", and the remaining inheritors who possess the treasures are very few.

"There are many inheritors on that mountain, some at the foot of the mountain, and some on the mountainside. Perhaps it was another inheritor who discovered the hidden treasure. King Qingli just happened to stumble upon it. How could he, a newcomer, get this most precious treasure?"

"It must be one of the other inheritors."

"definitely is!"

Some inheritors standing on the distant mountain peaks had twitching faces and their eyes began to turn red with jealousy. They still refused to believe that it was King Qingli who obtained the treasure.

……

At the same time, the other inheritors on the highest peak were all excited and nervous. Although they all saw that the shock was caused by the arrival of King Qingli, they were also on the mountain, and it might be because of one of them.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will not give up. After all, it is the first among the 108 treasures.

"Hua Hua Hua..."

The colorful aurora lake over the treasure land was directly above the mountain. Suddenly, thousands of auroras began to rotate like a whirlpool.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Thousands of auroras suddenly fell from the sky, each one was tens of thousands of kilometers long, colorful like falling meteors, and in a moment they completely enveloped the mountain, surrounding it like a bead curtain.

Gorgeous!

This scene caught the eyes of countless inheritors, making them excited and wishing they could take their place.

But the pressure contained in those thousands of auroras is so great that it is unbelievable. You must know that this is the most precious treasure that protects the religion of the largest force in the universe. A few auroras can kill the masters of the universe. How powerful would these thousands of auroras be?
"its mine!"

"It must be mine!"

The inheritors in various parts of the mountain all had hopeful looks on their faces and prayed secretly, but then a wave of power swept over them.

"No."

"its mine."

The dreams of those alien inheritors were shattered, and they were unwillingly "moved" away by the colorful aurora.

The foreign inheritors who were watching from afar did not share the joys and sorrows of these displaced inheritors, but immediately searched for King Qingli among these kicked-out inheritors.

"King Qingli didn't come out!
"It was King Qingli who opened the treasure!"

They quickly came to the conclusion that although this result was within their expectations, it still made many inheritors jealous.

……

Yang Wu couldn't see what was happening in the outside world, but he could guess it.

"I'm lucky."

Feeling the crazy shaking of the mountain beneath his feet, Yang Wu was in a very happy mood at this moment.

These 108 mountain treasures are one of the means by which the Ancestral God Religion attracts successive generations of inheritors. From the birth of the universe to the present day, only 42 of them have been opened, which means that on average they are opened only once in a very long time, and the conditions for each opening are extremely harsh.

The highest mountain also represents the strongest treasure in the treasure land. It is said that it is a treasure placed there by an ancestor god himself. It has existed since the ancestor god religion opened up this treasure land.

Throughout the long years up to now, there have been special life inheritors at the realm master level who have set foot here in history, but no one has been able to open this treasure.

According to normal rules, as long as the inheritor is on a certain mountain and meets the conditions, the treasure will automatically open. However, such limited conditions are actually controlled by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

The conditions for unlocking it are so harsh that they are almost abnormal, and the possibility of achieving it is extremely small. Yang Wu doesn't believe that there is no manipulation by the Ancestral God Cult.

The Ancestral God Cult is the most powerful force in the universe. Although it does not compete on the surface, there are always close and distant relationships.

What they value most are the special lives belonging to the Ancestral God Religion, followed by the peripheral members of the Ancestral God Religion, and finally the super strong people from other forces.

There are naturally great differences in the degree of grace.

Given King Qingli's identity, his first loyalty must be to the Hong Alliance, followed by the Zushen Sect.

Only those who are completely loyal to the Ancestral God Cult will receive the best treatment.
