Chapter 654: 563 Massive Wealth (No More Today)_1

Shen Long’s gaze carefully swept over the hall, but he didn’t find any passages. This shouldn’t be the case!

He released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, whose eyes emitted a dazzling golden light. It spoke, "Master, there are restrictions on the mural’s foreign race patterns. I don’t know what they are."

Shen Long summoned a Giant Ape Puppet Beast, a fifth-order puppet beast.

With a spell, the Giant Ape Puppet Beast strode into the hall. It wandered around without triggering any restrictions.

The Giant Ape Puppet Beast came in front of the mural on the left and spat out a thick beam of golden light, striking the foreign race pattern.

There was a muffled sound, but the mural did not budge.

The Giant Ape Puppet Beast punched out, hitting the foreign race pattern. Another muffled sound echoed, yet the mural remained intact.

Shen Long’s brows furrowed, and he marched in, arriving in front of the mural.

His body radiated a bright yellow light, transforming into a Yellow Giant Ape, and he punched out at the foreign race pattern.

With a rumbling boom, the entire Feathered Wing Hall shook violently, and the mural cracked profusely, the fissures spreading quickly.

Soon, the cracks opened up, revealing a stone corridor, and Shen Long returned to human form.

"Master, there are four secret chambers at the end, but I cannot see clearly inside them," said the Hundred Eyes Cicada.

The Giant Ape Puppet Beast marched in. Its pace wasn’t fast, and with nothing out of the ordinary, Shen Long followed suit.

Before long, they reached the end and stood before a stone chamber with tightly shut doors.

The Giant Ape Puppet Beast punched out, striking the stone wall, which emitted a muffled noise yet the doors remained unfluctuated.

Shen Long punched it, and the door shattered, revealing a hundred-feet-wide stone chamber. Inside was an Array formed by several thousand uniformly-sized sockets, each containing a greyish-white stone.

"Top-grade Spirit Stones!"

Shen Long exclaimed, his eyes falling on a crystal-clear blue Spirit Stone.

There were five Top-grade Spirit Stones here, one of which had exhausted its Spiritual Energy, while the other four were significantly depleted.

Unlike common Spirit Stones, Top-grade Spirit Stones were crystal clear and easily recognizable.

For Soul Transformation Cultivators and Void Refining Cultivators in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, the primary trading currency was top quality Spirit Stones, while Top-grade Spirit Stones were the currency for Unity Cultivators and Mahayana Cultivators.

Shen Long didn’t touch these Spirit Stones, avoiding any issues with the Array. He went to the door of the second stone chamber and punched it.

The door shattered, revealing a hundred-feet-wide stone chamber with a seven-foot-tall Golden fruit tree bearing over fifty oval fruits.

The fruits were translucent, clearly showing mini Flood Dragons inside, some red, some golden, and some blue.

At first glance, it appeared as though over fifty mini Flood Dragons were in slumber.

"Heavenly Dragon Fruit! One of the top ten Spiritual Fruits."

Shen Long was overwhelmed with joy.

To his knowledge, the growth cycle of Heavenly Dragon Fruit lasted ninety thousand years, and the tree before him was at least seventy thousand years old.

Heavenly Dragon Fruit could strengthen the body. Even Mahayana Cultivators would benefit significantly from consuming it, let alone Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

A single Heavenly Dragon Fruit, falling into the outside world, would incite Unity Cultivators to fight over it.

"To think there’s a Heavenly Dragon Fruit tree here; I’ve struck it rich."

Overjoyed, Shen Long took out his Formation Flag and Disk and began setting up the Thousand Wood Great Formation. He intended to transplant this Heavenly Dragon Fruit tree.

With the help of the Thousand Wood Great Formation and his treasures, Shen Long successfully transplanted the Heavenly Dragon Fruit tree.

He then opened the door to the third chamber, presenting a hundred-feet-wide stone chamber. In the lower left corner of the chamber, there was a green cabinet displaying some Jade Slips and ores.

In the center of the stone chamber lay a humanoid skeleton wearing a tattered yellow robe. The robe was riddled with cracks and the skeleton looked as though it had suffered heavy damage before death.

The skeleton’s left bony hand adorned a yellow Storage Bracelet, and there was a small black lock on its chest. Its right leg had vanished without a trace.

Shen Long’s brows furrowed as he flicked his sleeve. The Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon flew out from the Spirit Beast Bracelet, with one of its heads spewing a blue halo, enveloping the humanoid skeleton.

A yellow light sphere appeared, revealing the lingering soul within.

"Fellow Daoist, spare my life, I am willing to serve you, please don’t kill me."

The yellow light sphere begged for mercy.

"Hiding on the skeleton, weren’t you just trying to ambush me? There’s no need for such words."

Shen Long’s tone was ice-cold.

The blue halo wrapped around the yellow light sphere and pulled it into the mouth of the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon, which then swallowed it.

"Master, he is an incarnation of the Feathered Wing True Monarch; he sustained heavy injuries from a formidable enemy and had no choice but to flee back here. His injuries were too severe, his physical body horribly damaged, and his Divine Soul hid inside the Soul Nurturing Lock, planning to seize the body of any treasure seeker that came along."

The Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon explained.

"Does he not know the whereabouts of the Feathered Wing True Monarch? How many incarnations does he have in total?"

Shen Long inquired.

"He doesn’t know either; he has never seen the other incarnations. It’s estimated that the Feathered Wing True Monarch has several incarnations, and this individual is just one of them, merely in the late stage of Soul Transformation."

The Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon responded.

Shen Long nodded, beckoned with one hand, and the yellow Storage Bracelet flew toward him, landing in his grasp. His Divine Sense swept over it, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Inside were many treasures, including three Top-grade Spirit Stones and a good amount of Artifact Refining materials, although there was no high-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

Shen Long took out the Jade Slip from the Storage Bracelet and examined it carefully, learning how to control the Formation of the Secret Realm.

He approached a cabinet, picked up a green Jade Slip, and immersed his Divine Sense into it.

After reviewing all the Jade Slips, a contemplative look crossed Shen Long’s face.

These Jade Slips were mostly related to Artifact Refining, which suggested that the Feathered Wing True Monarch was an Artifact Refiner.

He collected all the items from the cabinet and moved to the doorway of the fourth stone chamber, where he blasted the door with a punch.

Following a thunderous sound, the door shattered into pieces. The room was an Artifact Refining Room, containing a man-high golden cauldron.

The golden cauldron had three legs and two ears, adorned with a pattern of a Golden Crow on its body. The stone walls were inscribed with numerous red runes, radiating intense heat.

On the stone wall, eight miniature Flood Dragon heads spewed red flames, converging beneath the golden cauldron.

"Master, this is a Spirit-Enhancing Pearl, a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure that the Feathered Wing True Monarch was attempting to refine. Before he could finish, he left, and his incarnation didn’t touch this treasure mainly because it was still incomplete. After so many years, it should now be finished,"

said the Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada’s eyes shone brightly as it stated, "Master, it indeed has been finished."

With a flick of Shen Long’s sleeve, the lid of the cauldron flew off, and a golden pearl that continuously emitted light burst forth.

"A mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure!"

Shen Long was overjoyed, not expecting to acquire a mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, especially one that catered to Divine Sense.

With a wave of his hand, the Spirit-Enhancing Pearl flew into his grasp.

"Excellent! To obtain a mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure of the assistive type."

Shen Long mentioned with joy as he spoke to himself, stowing away the treasure and the golden cauldron.

The Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon and Hundred Eyes Cicada returned to the Spirit Beast Bracelet while Shen Long took the four Top-grade Spirit Stones from the Formation and walked out of the temple.
