Chapter 871: Chapter 874: So many treasures!_1

Atop the Dragon Car, Lin Zhen leaned back on his seat and opened the trading panel in the Dimensional Universe.

The rewards on this trading panel were provided by the Four Great Gods.

Gods do not need money or common currency. What they need are Divine Stones – large amounts of them.

Divine Stones serve as a high-level currency among the Gods and can also provide for their training needs. It is said that the powerful operation of God Crystals can be strengthened by absorbing and refining a large amount of Divine Stones. Therefore, Divine Stones are very important to Gods, but they are practically useless for those living beneath the Gods.

In truth, everyone within the Eye of the Storm is working for the Four Great Gods. They collect Divine Stones to exchange with the Gods for goods they desire. It’s a simple exchange of needs.

“Wow! There are plenty of fantastic things.”

As he opened the trading panel, Lin Zhen’s eyes lit up instantly.

Three Divine Stones can be exchanged for a Heavenly Spirit Fruit.

The function of the Heavenly Spirit Fruit is to instantly restore a Martial Artist’s depleted Star Power and vitality to overflowing conditions!

Not every Martial Artist exhibits the incredible stamina of Lin Zhen. A fruit that can instantly restore one’s condition is something many people dream of.

However, each person can only consume one fruit a month. Nevertheless, it doesn’t prevent Martial Artists from wanting to store multiple fruits for times of need.

There is also a wide range of secret combat techniques and spiritual treasures.

“High Grade Spirit Treasure Cold Edge Blade, exchange price twenty Divine Stones, not that expensive.”

“Top Quality Spirit Treasure Four Symbols Shield, exchange price is three hundred Divine Stones, this is very powerful, it’s an almost indestructible defensive spiritual treasure.”

“Flash Golden Body Refining Skill, exchange price is two hundred and twenty Divine Stones, this is good too. Once mastered, the defense will be almost equal to my armorization.”

“Wow! The Supreme Treasure Divine Sword! The exchange price is four thousand Divine Stones! This is definitely a weapon of the Gods and it’s actually up for exchange for Divine Stones!”

“There’s also the Supreme Treasure Heaven-opening Axe, exchange price is five thousand Divine Stones, Supreme Treasure Agile Light Armor, exchange price is eight thousand Divine Stones…”

Lin Zhen looked somewhat dazzled. There were nine Supreme Treasures available for exchange in total.

Swords, spears, halberds, axes, shields, armor, hammers, and staves, plus a bow and a quiver.

Each Supreme Treasure carried immense power and force. In the hands of a Martial Artist, they were perfect weapons for challenging higher-ranked opponents.

“These Supreme Treasures aren’t bad, but I feel that my Divine Bell is even better. It not only contains the Time Law but also should have special uses. It definitely surpasses these Supreme Treasures.”

“The Supreme Treasures these Gods have brought out are probably not their best items. They’ve just brought out some of the things they don’t need and have these Martial Artists work for them.”

“However, for the average Martial Artist, a Supreme Treasure can drive one insane.”

Apart from secret combat techniques and supreme treasures, there are also God Crystals.

There are about a dozen God Crystals on the exchange panel – red ones that represent the fire-element God Crystals, blue ones that represent the wind-element God Crystals, and yellow ones for earth-element God Crystals….

Lin Zhen was once in possession of a God Crystal. His God Crystal was red, and at first, he thought all God Crystals were red. It was only later that he found out God Crystals also have diverse elements. Choosing a God Crystal that resonates best with oneself is most suitable.

If one absorbs a God Crystal of a different attribute, there may be some adverse consequences. However, Lin Zhen is not exactly clear what these consequences are, as no one has explained it to him.

The prices of these God Crystals are basically the same – three thousand Divine Stones for one. The pricing is quite uniform.

But since there are elemental attributes, there should also be special attributes, such as ice, thunder, and light. But Lin Zhen didn’t see them here.

Presumably, God Crystals with unique properties would be more expensive, but the Gods have not listed them here. It is still unknown if more treasures will be added in the future.

Aside from God Crystals, there are even better items.

Inheritance Crystal Balls!

Inheritance Crystal Balls carry the lifelong knowledge and wisdom of a Martial Artist, recording the most important and essence parts of their lifetime of learning and passing it to their successors. They are considered priceless treasures.

A Divine Stone Realm Inheritance Crystal Ball costs five hundred Divine Stones each.

A Demigod Realm Inheritance costs one thousand each.

A King-sealing Powerhouse’s Inheritance Crystal costs three thousand Divine Stones each!

A Hall of Fame Inheritance Crystal Ball costs ten thousand Divine Stones each!

The most eye-catching of all is a huge Crystal Ball – the Divine Inheritance!

This is left by a God, recording everything the God has learned, the skills, knowledge, and experiences they’ve acquired throughout their lifetime. It can drastically enhance a Martial Artist’s strength.

With the Divine Inheritance, one has a high chance of entering the realm of Gods. This is the biggest attraction!

It is not about refining God Crystals to enter the God Realm, but self-cultivation to enter the God Realm – there is a world of difference between these two paths.

The Divine Inheritance Crystal Ball can be exchanged for one hundred thousand Divine Stones!

This is the most valuable item on the entire trading panel, an object that almost all Martial Artists aspire to have.

Lin Zhen lightly brushed his finger against it, silently weighing up what kind of choice would be most profitable for him.

The Eye of the Storm lasts for forty-nine years. It certainly won’t be easy to find Divine Stones. One has to make a meticulous plan and choose the most suitable item, to avoid wasting money on something trivial.

After thinking for a while, Lin Zhen started to feel a headache coming on. There were too many things to exchange, so he decided to wait until they reached the Eye of the Storm.

Packing away the exchange panel, Lin Zhen nearly laughed when he saw the others.

They were all gawking at the empty space, apparently dazzled by the endless treasures available on the exchange panel.

He could imagine that once they reached the Eye of the Storm, the Divine Stones would become the lifeline for every Martial Artist. To seize these Divine Stones, they would dare to do anything.

Lin Zhen chose not to watch any longer and closed his eyes to meditate and ponder once again on the Ethereal Divine Clock.

“I need to master Time Deceleration as soon as possible to earn more time for myself. This is what I should do.”

To resist the temptation of treasures and focus on cultivation is not easy. At that moment, Lin Zhen felt his mindset had improved and he was jubilant, certain that this bout of cultivation would bring great gains!

As Lin Zhen started his cultivation, the others were deeply engrossed in the temptation of the treasures, barely able to pull themselves out. Six days passed in a blink.

**********

“Hissss…”

With the sound of a blue dragon’s howl, the speed of the Dragon Car decreased.

The driver, Lv Tianhua, turned around to the passengers and announced, “Mr. Lv and everyone, we’ve reached the Eye of the Storm Star Domain.”

“Oh, we got here so fast.”

Lv Tianhua returned to his senses, shaking his slightly dizzy head, feeling a bit guilty.

In the past few days, he had been completely absorbed in a state of oblivion, calculating day and night about which treasures he should aim for, who could possibly compete with him, and how powerful he would become after obtaining those treasures or so.

Being absorbed in the treasures and forgetting about cultivation was not what a Martial Artist was supposed to do.

Looking back, Lv Tianhua saw Chen Yuan, Mu En, and Arudi still in a daze. This made him feel a bit better, thinking they were worse than him.

However, when he saw Lin Zhen, he noticed that Lin Zhen’s eyes were slightly closed. He was slowly exhaling a turbid breath, clearly just getting out of a meditative state.

“How… how is this possible? Lin Zhen is just a Martial Artist at the Three Flowers Realm, but he could resist the temptation of so many treasures? He still finds time to cultivate!”

Lv Tianhua was shocked, realizing that he needed to reassess Lin Zhen’s abilities.

Feeling slightly embarrassed to face Lin Zhen now, Lv Tianhua quickly turned around, pretending to have just finished meditating too, to avoid being laughed at by Lin Zhen, his junior.

However, because of this, he overlooked the turbid breath Lin Zhen had just exhaled, which was expelled much slower than normal—a highly unusual circumstance!

Clearing his throat, Lv Tianhua turned around and clapped his hands.

“Clap, clap, clap!.”

“Alright juniors, we’ve reached our destination. We’re now in Eye of the Storm Star Domain. Wake up, everyone. It’s time to get off.”

The rest of them also woke up from their treasure-induced stupor, chuckling awkwardly.

“Hehe, I was entranced by the Divine Inheritance Crystal Ball. I didn’t realize we arrived at the Eye of the Storm so quickly. How embarrassing, our team leader is impressive, he didn’t seem bothered at all.”

Hearing Chen Yuan’s words, Lv Tianhua waved his hand, “I just woke up too. Let’s not talk about it. While the treasures are good, they’re not ours yet. We have to work together to earn more Divine Stones so we can get what we want. Alright, get ready to disembark.”

The group stood up and disembarked in a line.

Once off the Dragon Car, everyone was stunned by the sight!

The Dragon Car was parked on an asteroid less than a hundred kilometers in diameter. From the asteroid, they could see the vast Eye of the Storm Star System in the distance.

Like an ant standing before the sun, the Eye of the Storm Star System was unimaginably huge.

Sharp fragments of pale blue planets, driven by inertia, were slowly rotating.

From where they could see, to the edge of their sight, all was filled with this blue color, endless!

The entire star system was rotating. The spectacular sight deeply jolted their hearts!

On this temporarily parked asteroid, there were many people like them, gazing dumbfoundedly at the enormous rotating star system.

Even though the star system was possibly tens or even hundreds of millions of kilometers away, the force that seemed to overturn the earth and shook the universe still stirred people’s hearts profoundly.

“What an Eye of the Storm!”

With a soft sigh, Lv Tianhua, and others snapped out of their awe, noticing a temporary checkpoint ahead.

The ground clansmen heading to the Eye of the Storm were lining up, getting ready to pass through the checkpoint before they would be allowed into the Eye of the Storm.

“Let’s get in line. Follow me. After we clear the checkpoint, we can explore this new world at any time.”

As the team leader, Lv Tianhua was at the front, followed by Chen Yuan, Arudi.

Next should have been Mu En, and last was Lin Zhen, but Mu En was just standing there dumbstruck. Lin Zhen, who was behind him and saw that other teams were about to surpass them, came to his front and gave him a little push.

“Brother Mu En, it’s time to go.”

Mu En snapped back to reality and saw Lin Zhen walking ahead of him, his face suddenly turned gloomy.
