The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 3077: Chapter 3072: Selecting Treasures_1

Yang Chen couldn’t imagine how powerful the Ancestral Divine Artifact really was.

However, under multiple layers of restrictions and small-scale formations, he could still feel the power of this Ancestral Divine Artifact, which far surpassed that of the Emperor Divine Tool, and was able to analyze its power.

At least when facing opponents of the same tier, the difference between wielding an Ancestral Divine Artifact and wielding an Emperor Divine Tool was like day and night.

"Alright, stop calling it." Yang Chen, feeling both amused and exasperated, dismissed Slaughter God Spear’s thoughts: "You still want to devour this sword? I’m afraid that instead of fighting this sword, it won’t devour you."

The Slaughter God Spear was now wilted, and lost all its temper when it heard about the Ancestral Divine Artifact.

Although it didn’t know how powerful the Ancestral Divine Artifact was, it wasn’t deaf. It had heard what the Red Tree Dragon King had said.

"One could say that this Ancestral Divine Artifact was forged by the lifelong effort of our North Night Dragon Emperor. It is the most precious treasure in the Treasure Spirit Palace. And here you are, a kid who wants to take it away?" The Red Tree Dragon King said, with mixed feelings of amusement and exasperation.

Yang Chen touched his nose: "Alright, I admit that I was too greedy. However, there’s still something I don’t understand."

"What is it?" asked the Red Tree Dragon King with confusion.

"This Ancestral Divine Artifact is so precious. Shouldn’t the Dragon Emperor treasure it like a baby? Storing it here, aren’t you afraid that it’ll be coveted by thieves? It’s true that these forbidden array formations are very ingenious, but they’re not that hard to crack, right?" Yang Chen asked with a puzzled expression.

"Hahahaha, Yang Chen, my friend, do you really think the Dragon Emperor is an idiot?" The Red Tree Dragon King laughed heartily: "To be honest with you, even if I gave you this Ancestral Divine Artifact now as its master, you still wouldn’t be able to take it away or use it effectively."

"Why is that?" Yang Chen was bewildered.

"An Ancestral Divine Artifact is not the same as an Emperor Divine Tool; it is a very special existence. If it were an Emperor Divine Tool, you could still find a way to seize it after leaving its master’s possession. But with an Ancestral Divine Artifact, even if its master were to die in battle, it would still be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to make it your own. Why? Because once a divine tool evolves into an Ancestral Divine Artifact, its attributes will become completely in tune with its master, turning it into a personalized divine tool! This is due to the effects of its master’s long-term nourishing."

The Red Tree Dragon King sighed: "Throughout this long span of time, this Ancestral Divine Artifact and its master can even be regarded as a single entity. Other people cannot bring out its true power, and it’s completely a waste of metal. Moreover, this Ancestral Divine Artifact has its own spirituality and will not be used by powerful outsiders besides its master."

Yang Chen was slightly astonished that the Ancestral Divine Artifact had such an effect.

"So, why should the Dragon Emperor worry? Even if the Ancestral Divine Artifact is here, no one can move it. And Yang Chen, my friend, do you really think these prohibitions and small-scale formations are meant to seal the Ancestral Divine Artifact and prevent it from being stolen? Instead, they serve to keep the Ancestral Divine Artifact from being overly conspicuous, to prevent people entering the Treasure Spirit Palace from being accidentally hurt."

The Red Tree Dragon King explained: "If you harbored ill intentions and wanted to steal some treasures, then this Ancestral Divine Artifact would break through its restrictions and capture you directly. Don’t underestimate the power of this Ancestral Divine Artifact; even with your extraordinary strength, Brother Yang Chen, you may not be able to defeat it."

Yang Chen sighed and said with emotion: "It’s because I’m ignorant."

"Hahaha, it’s normal for you to be young and not understand these things, young friend Yang Chen." The Red Tree Dragon King smiled generously: "Yang Chen, take a look at the other items. Besides the Ancestral Divine Artifact and the Emperor Divine Tool-level treasures, you can choose any materials in the treasure storehouse."

Yang Chen nodded and looked around again.

However, he did not pay immediate attention to these materials. Instead, he first noticed Murong Qi, whose excited eyes wandered all over the place.

Clearly, there were quite a few treasures in this treasure storehouse that Murong Qi desired.

Seeing this, Yang Chen did not hurry to choose treasures for himself. Instead, he said, "Miss Murong, you pick first."

"Me?" Murong Qi was stunned: "Young Master Yang Chen, isn’t it your turn to choose? How... how can it be me?"

"You helped Miss Murong back then, too, so how could I take all the credit for myself? Please, Miss Murong, choose whatever you want." Yang Chen replied.

Murong Qi’s heart couldn’t help but be moved, and her opinion of Yang Chen’s character increased by a few points.

However, how could she accept this? She knew very well how much she had helped that day, as she had just been a mere assistant.

"Young Master Yang Chen, this credit should all be yours. I... I don’t know what to pick." Murong Qi bit her bright red lips, looking pitiful.

"If Miss Murong doesn’t choose, then I won’t either." Yang Chen simply said, letting go.

Murong Qi’s face tightened, and her heart grew warmer. Her good feelings towards Yang Chen soared as she said: "Thank you, Young Master Yang Chen. Since you insist, I’ll respectfully follow."

Yang Chen laughed: "That’s more like it."

Seeing such a scene, the Red Tree Dragon King also observed it with interest.

A person who isn’t blinded by benefits and still thinks of his friends at such times is worth praising for his character alone.

Although Murong Qi had agreed to take a few treasures, she didn’t overreach. She knew her contributions were small and took just one item.

"Young Master Yang Chen, this is the only item I’m interested in. As for the others, I don’t really care." Miss Murong said gently.

Only then did Yang Chen nod gently and begin his selection.

Indeed, he saw many things he liked. There were also many decent treasures in this Treasure Spirit Palace.

Not to mention anything else, even just these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had inestimable help for him.

He had already gathered most of the materials needed to cultivate the Third Layer of the Forbidden Divine Art. Now that he was here, he could collect the rest.

In addition, he took some materials that could help him cultivate the Reincarnation Scripture. Seemingly getting nine items seemed like a lot, but in reality, they were spent in the blink of an eye.

Yang Chen was quite satisfied with this and said, "Thank you, Senior Red Tree, for leading the way."

Red Tree Dragon King smiled kindly: "There’s no need to worry about it. In fact, I should be thanking you. Mu Qing is like a daughter to me. If something had happened to her, I would never have forgiven myself. You two are honored guests of our Dragon Clan. With this status, no one but me, the Red Tree Dragon King, can deny it. Both of you can stay in my Dragon City for the time being. Have fun whenever you want, and if you need anything, just contact me. I will also notify others about your affairs as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Senior Red Tree." Yang Chen responded with a smile.

Under the guidance of the Red Tree Dragon King, Yang Chen and Murong Qi temporarily settled down in Dragon City.

With this second arrangement, they were already treated as distinguished guests.
