Chapter 682: Chapter 682: Gold Mountain

Zhen Kai said, "Shu Feng, I owe you one. If you need anything in the future, just come find me. As long as we’re on Blue Star proper, and there’s no special Barrier interfering, I can take you anywhere."

Liu Lang smiled faintly and said, "If you ever need a prophecy, come find me! My success rate is quite high!"

"If you need help, come to me."

Ding Xiaoxue smiled faintly and brandished the [Void Blue Night] in her hand, one of the Seven Great Holy Spears.

Among Celestial Princess’s group of four, Ding Xiaoxue was not the strongest. But wielding the [Void Blue Night], once she advanced to the Spirit Saint level, she could even wound a Divine Spirit.

Shu Feng and his party divided up all the rare treasures in the courtyard and continued deeper into the Imperial City.

After passing through numerous winding corridors, an immense Bronze Gate appeared before Shu Feng and the others.

In front of the Bronze Gate stood a fifty-meter-tall statue with the head of a lion and the body of a man. Scattered around the statue were the mangled remains of many Dragon Hunting Dogs.

"More people have arrived! Interesting. I am the Thinker! Answer my three questions, you insignificant ants. Answer correctly, and you may enter this Treasure Vault. Answer incorrectly, and you will become a tasty meal for me."

When Shu Feng’s group came within a hundred meters, the lion-headed statue suddenly came to life. Its eyes rolled, and a savage glint flashed within them.

With a flicker, Shu Feng appeared before the lion-headed statue like a storm, executing his Storm Swordsmanship with a single downward slash.

A terrifyingly fast flash of sword light swept across the lion-headed statue.

"No!!"

The lion-headed statue shrieked as its body was instantly torn to pieces, collapsing to the ground in countless fragments.

With a wave of his hand, Shu Feng sent a ball of [Burning Void Demon Flame] flying out. It landed on the statue’s fragments, immediately setting them ablaze.

"No! Don’t kill me! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!!"

An incredibly bizarre mist surged out from the statue’s fragments. It was instantly ignited by the Burning Void Demon Flame, letting out a series of horrifying screams.

After a dozen breaths, the bizarre mist finally vanished.

"Let’s go. Time to go in and appreciate the Treasure Vault of Nia Royal City!"

Shu Feng swung his sword, and a flash of sword light, as fast as lightning, struck the Bronze Gate.

The Bronze Gate was instantly shattered into countless pieces that scattered across the floor.

A look of envy flashed in Zhen Kai’s eyes. ’He’s so strong! If only I had that kind of power, enough to crush everything... how great would that be!’

The lion-headed statue was undoubtedly a terrifying Demigod-level monster, yet it had been utterly defenseless against Shu Feng. It wasn’t that the monster was too weak, but that Shu Feng was far too strong.

"Gold! So much gold!"

The moment they stepped into the Imperial Palace’s Treasure Vault, they were greeted by the sight of a Mountain of Gold, a hundred meters high and built from bricks of solid gold. Zhen Kai stared at the Gold Mountain, his body trembling and his eyes shining with excitement.

Gold could be refined into a substance that was a potent poison to Void Demons. Its price on Blue Star was also persistently high. Moreover, in all the worlds currently explored beyond Blue Star, gold was a universal currency.

If this Mountain of Gold were taken out, it could absolutely be used to purchase countless Cultivation Resources and establish an immense faction. If a Ninth-Grade Noble Family acquired this Mountain of Gold, they would no longer lack the resources to advance to a Clan. Of course, resources alone were not enough to become a Clan; they also needed talented individuals.

Shu Feng’s gaze swept past the Gold Mountain as he looked toward the other treasures.

The entire Andoras World had become Shu Feng’s domain, so he had no shortage of gold. What he lacked were treasures to enhance his own power.

"World Stones! So many World Stones! As expected of a civilization that once dominated Blue Star and gave birth to a Divine Spirit! This is fantastic!"

Shu Feng’s eyes lit up. He walked over to a chest that was filled with World Stones, which made him ecstatic.

Inside the Imperial Palace’s Treasure Vault, apart from the World Stones, all that remained were some priceless antiques, some incredibly beautiful and precious Gemstones and jewelry, and six Semi-Divine Artifacts.

Shu Feng generously gave four of the six Semi-Divine Artifacts to Celestial Princess and her group, while he chose to store all the other treasures from the vault in his Base Space.

Shu Feng said, "I plan to go into seclusion for a few days to cultivate and improve my strength. What are your plans? Do you want to stay here and continue adventuring, or leave and return to the Qianyuan Republic?"

This place held the greatest opportunities of the Nia Civilization, but it was also dangerous enough to claim the lives of even Divine-level Powerhouses. Naturally, Shu Feng wanted to be in peak condition before proceeding.

Celestial Princess said decisively, "The Nia Continent is too dangerous. We’ll leave at once!"

On this trip to the Nia Continent, Celestial Princess and her companions had already obtained a Five-Colored Divine Fruit and a Semi-Divine Artifact, making the journey more than worthwhile.

The Nia Continent was teeming with powerful, bizarre, and terrifying monsters. Without Shu Feng’s protection, Celestial Princess and the others wouldn’t last a single day. Her pride was immense, and she had no desire to become a burden to him.

Zhen Kai frowned slightly. "But the Nia Continent is shrouded in a strange Barrier. My Teleportation Gate’s range is only thirty li!"

Zhen Kai’s Heavenly-level Spiritual Ability, Teleportation Gate, allowed him to freely open a portal to any place he had previously visited on Blue Star. However, it couldn’t be opened in places with powerful Barriers.

The Nia Continent was enveloped by an immense power, preventing Zhen Kai from freely using his Teleportation Gate.

"Don’t worry! I’ve already made preparations. Follow me!"

Shu Feng smiled faintly and led Celestial Princess and the others toward a secret chamber.

"Alright! This is the Qianyuan Republic. I’ll be on my way."

As soon as Shu Feng entered the secret chamber, he smiled faintly and vanished from where he stood.

’We’re back in the country already? How was that so fast?’

Liu Lang was stunned for a moment. He looked around and saw that they were in an ordinary-looking secret chamber.

Celestial Princess said, "This definitely isn’t the Nia Continent. That strange energy that permeates the continent is gone."

Zhen Kai gave a wry smile. "Incredible! Shu Feng’s teleportation Ability is even stronger than mine. That’s so demoralizing!"

Ding Xiaoxue’s delicate brows shot up. "Don’t speak of this to anyone!"

Every Spiritualist’s Spiritual Abilities and cultivated Secret Techniques are their secrets. The more they hide their Spiritual Abilities, the more others will fear them and hesitate to act against them.

If a Spiritualist’s Spiritual Abilities and trump cards are all exposed, they can be easily targeted.

Zhen Kai smiled. "Don’t worry, we all understand the rules!"
