Swallowing the Stars: The Supreme Being of All Heavens

Chapter 371 The Treasure Hunt Begins

Chapter 371 The Treasure Hunt Begins

Suddenly, a stream of light descended upon the plaza of the island lord's palace on Bauhinia Island, revealing the figure of a man wearing black armor with silver edges. He looked up at the fountain.

The three fountains are as follows: the left water curtain leads to the Land of Heritage; the middle water curtain leads to the Land of Treasures; and the right water curtain leads to the Land of Secrets.

"A treasure trove." A flicker of fervor appeared in Suk's eyes.

He came to the Ancestral God Sect for two purposes: one was to collect life matter, and the other was to visit the Ancestral God Sect's treasure trove.

Legend has it that the Ancestral God Sect has placed a vast number of precious treasures here, the lowest of which are all more valuable than ordinary treasures, waiting for a destined person to open them. This place has attracted countless inheritors to come here, making it the place where the most inheritors gather.

The inheritors often spend their free time in the treasure-filled areas trying their luck.

However, Suk also knew that the treasures of the Ancestral God Cult were not so easy to obtain.

"I can't be that unlucky, not even getting one item, right?" His eyes flickered, and then Suk took a step and disappeared into the fountain's water curtain.

Eloi is preparing for the upcoming battle in the Glory World and is cultivating in her mansion. Only Suk came to the Treasure Land this time.

Transmission complete.

Suk appeared atop a mountain peak. Looking out into the distance, he saw countless mountains, some steep and others strangely shaped, stretching as far as the eye could see. Between some of these mountains lay lakes, some large and some small, some with over a million kilos.

Those lakes are also beautiful, some are emerald green like giant jade, and others are pitch black like ink.

"This is the treasure trove?" Suk looked up—

High in the sky... streaks of aurora were flying continuously, clearly indicating that this treasure trove was also within the "Five-Colored Aurora Lake" area.

Below, countless inheritors are scattered across mountains, valleys, lakesides, rivers, and forests... most of them wandering around, seemingly searching for something.

"There are so many people. I heard that tens of millions of inheritors gather here and often stay here to search for treasures, but it is very rare for someone to find a treasure in this treasure land," Suk thought to himself.

Looking around, he learned from the information he had received that there were treasures everywhere, almost every mountain peak and every lake.

"Ten thousand mountains and thousands of lakes, if they all contained treasures..." Suk muttered to himself. Although there were many treasures, only occasionally would someone obtain one.

This is actually normal. First, the treasures left behind are precious, so strict conditions must be set. Second, although the Ancestral God Sect is large and powerful, if it is not restricted, so many inheritors can quickly empty this place.

"Let me see where the treasure is." Although he knew that the most precious part of the treasure land was the 108 highest peaks, Suk was not in a hurry. The treasure had been there for countless years and couldn't have disappeared. He started his exploration from the mountain he was standing on.

Once the Eye of Insight is activated, it can perceive information about all things, but of course it is not omnipotent and its effectiveness depends on the specific circumstances.

Moreover, Suk must pay attention to a target and lock onto it in order to obtain some information.

A single mountain peak can be thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers high, and a single lake can be hundreds of thousands or millions of kilometers in size.

This made Suk's exploration and production more difficult.

If we were to conduct a thorough, meticulous search, taking a mountain as an example, how many rocks, trees, flowers, and crevices are there? How much time would it take to search the entire mountain, inside and out?

With a whoosh, realizing the problem, Suk flew directly into the sky, looked down from above, locked his target on the entire mountain peak, and activated [Eye of Insight].

A special mountain peak, hiding an unknown treasure...

Gone.

"6

""

Suk was somewhat silent. The information wasn't entirely useless; at least he knew that there really was a treasure on this mountain. Just that alone made him far better than other inheritors who were aimlessly groping around.

After all, not every place necessarily has a treasure.

Of course, each inheritor doesn't stubbornly stick to one path; they all search everywhere, hoping for the best.

But then a problem arises: how am I supposed to find such a huge mountain?

If you encounter this kind of thing outside, you have plenty of options at your disposal, and you can even just sabotage it.

But now, looking up at the colorful aurora borealis flying in the sky, it's like the Sword of Damocles hanging overhead at any moment. Try to destroy it!

All the inheritors of the treasure land were exploring it diligently, and no one dared to cause any damage, not because they didn't want to, but because they were afraid.

Destroying the treasure trove would be a desecration and disrespect to the powerful predecessors of the Ancestral God Sect, and they would be killed directly by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

Under the deterrent power of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, this supreme treasure, no one dared to act recklessly.

Otherwise, the Ancestral God Sect wouldn't dare to place such a vast treasure here; otherwise, it wouldn't be impossible for some super beings from outside to descend and wipe it all out.

Suk thought for a moment, then changed his position and continued to use the Eye of Insight to obtain information. After so many years of trying, he knew that even for the same target, the information obtained by the Eye of Insight was not fixed as the situation changed.

After flying around the mountain peak repeatedly, up and down, they finally obtained some useful information.

At the foot of a peculiar mountain in the northeast direction lies an unknown treasure.

Suk's spirits lifted; he had finally obtained some useful information, at least narrowing down the scope of his search.

Of course, Suk wasn't too happy either. Over the years, countless inheritors must have already searched every inch of the entire treasure land thoroughly. Even if there really was a treasure there, finding it wouldn't be easy.

If the conditions were known, those inheritors could still try their best to do it. The most fatal thing is that no one knows.

No one knows what harsh conditions those super-powerful beings who left behind treasures set when they created the treasures, so it all depends on luck. Maybe you'll find a treasure that suits you.

"Northeast, at the foot of the mountain." Suk immediately flew directly towards that place.

Whoosh! At the foot of the mountain, there were some strange trees. Suk landed directly on one of the large purple trees.

"These trees..." Suk observed the trees. These trees were different from the trees outside. They might have existed since the treasure land was first created and have continued to exist until now.

With his Eye of Insight scanning the area, Suk's mental processing speed was comparable to that of a high-level intelligent computer, so his scanning and detection speed and efficiency were naturally tens of millions of times higher than that of an ordinary person. However, even so, it was not an easy task to search the entire mountain. Fortunately, he had the Eye of Insight, which allowed him to continuously narrow down the search area, preventing him from aimlessly searching for a needle in a haystack and saving him a lot of time.

This tree isn't it, this rock isn't it, that crevice in the mountain isn't it, that clump of grass isn't it...

Suk walked among the trees, quickly scanning his mind, countless pieces of information flashing through his head.

Suddenly, a special message appeared, causing his rapidly working consciousness to pause.

It was a very special tall plant that looked like both a tree and a flower. At the very top, nine forked, jade-green vines hung down, while in the center was a ring-shaped, milky-white flower bud that emitted a refreshing fragrance.

[The Rainbow Tree, a special plant found in a cosmic secret realm, can bring peace to the mind and spirit, but it has no effect on cultivation; it can only maintain a pleasant mood...]

A powerful individual who loved this plant placed his treasure beneath this flowering tree and set a condition for unlocking it: "Young one, sleep on the flower buds of this tree for a thousand years, and the treasure will be yours."

Suk stopped, looked up, and stared blankly at the strange and beautiful plant.

Sleep for a thousand years?

What kind of strange condition is this?

Suk finally understood why so many inheritors wandered the streets of the treasure land day after day, year after year, yet it was so difficult for even one to obtain the treasure.

It's all because those powerful individuals who set the conditions gave outrageous ones.

Sometimes, it's not about whether you're good or not, but about meeting certain conditions. These conditions might be related to your race, your gender, your talent, your age... they can be incredibly unpredictable... you might even find a treasure by coughing three times while passing by a certain place.

To be honest, the conditions set by the senior who left the treasure under the flowering tree were not harsh at all. In fact, they were very simple, so simple that it was almost unbelievable. All you had to do was sleep quietly on the tree for a thousand years. When you woke up, you would get a treasure. How easy was that? If those inheritors knew, wouldn't they be excited to death?

But even though it's that simple, nobody has completed it.

Looking around, there were countless trees. Suk lowered his head and pondered. If he happened to find a tree among these countless trees that he liked and wanted to sleep on, it would take a thousand years... How low was that probability?

What's even more deadly is that those inheritors are at least immortal kings, and have long since transcended the concept of "sleep".

Everyone comes here to find treasure; nobody just wants to sleep under a tree.

The conditions may seem simple, but the probability of them being triggered is ridiculously low.

"This senior set these conditions so arbitrarily, it really depends on whether we are destined to meet or not..." Suk said, both amused and exasperated.

That's true. The treasure was left behind by someone else, and you don't have to pay any price. They have the right to be capricious, so they can set it up however they want.

If all the powerful individuals who left behind treasures in the treasure-filled land are like this, then things will get really interesting.

After this experience, Suk was better prepared for the upcoming treasure hunt.

Suk sighed inwardly once again, realizing that finding treasure was not easy, and obtaining it was even more difficult once found.

Gazing at the beautiful flowering tree, Suk did not have any intention of sleeping for a thousand years. In Suk's understanding, sleeping meant that one's consciousness stopped thinking and entered a state of deep sleep. How could Suk possibly sleep for a thousand years right here?

Although the conditions were simple, Suk had no intention of doing it.

"Make a note of it first, and come back here to take this treasure when you have time later, or you can have someone come and get it."

One of the reasons Suk didn't intend to take the treasure was that its emergence would definitely cause a stir and attract the attention of the inheritors.

Therefore, even if he encounters a suitable treasure in the treasure land later, he will not open it immediately, but wait for a suitable opportunity to open and take the treasure away.

After all, he still has a lot to do in the Ancestral Mystic Realm and doesn't intend to become the center of attention immediately, attracting trouble or being targeted and assassinated by alien races.

My current strength is ultimately a bit weak, and it would be troublesome to deal with an assassination attempt by an alien race.

Whoosh! Suk flew into the sky and left the mountain. The experiment was over. This time, he planned to visit the 108 highest peaks.

"That's a human, isn't it?"

"It is indeed human, seemingly a newcomer, one of the two human realm lords."

"I know that there is one who is a first-level inheritor, and he is male. There is one who is a third-level inheritor, and he is female. The one in front of us should be the first-level inheritor, the male one."

"Hmph, a mere first-level inheritor, what a disgrace. A realm lord, yet he dares to come to the treasure land."

"Let's go over there and tease him."

A group of alien races gathered not far away saw Suk. After exchanging a few words, they flew over with sinister smiles. Boom, boom, as they got close, their speed suddenly increased, and whoosh, they crashed into him like meteors.

Suk, who was flying, didn't pay much attention at first. Although this treasure land was vast and had countless inheritors, with people coming and going and many alien races passing by, he immediately noticed when those few alien races suddenly accelerated and flew towards him inexplicably. "Hmm?" He quickly realized what had happened.

This scene feels so familiar.

"Killing is forbidden in the treasure land, but as long as there are no deaths or injuries and no environmental damage, the Five-Colored Aurora Lake will not punish minor collisions," Suk thought to himself. "These alien races shouldn't be stupid enough to attack me here; they probably just want to humiliate me."

However, since he had come to the land of treasure, he must have expected this to happen.

Faced with the onslaught of these alien inheritors, Suk did not dodge, but instead released the Death Star Vine from his body.

"Death Star Vine" is a support life form; servants cannot bring it out, but this type of life form can.

Boom! The Death Star Vine appeared, its tendrils blooming out, each about a kilometer long, encircling Suk and protecting him inside.

"What?" The faces of the several alien kings who were about to charge over changed instantly.

"How could he be carrying plant life?"

"It's a plant life form, and judging from its aura, it's at the King level."

"A King-level plant life form, this is troublesome. If we forcefully attack this plant life form, it may affect the surrounding area. Once we violate the rules, it will attract the Five-Colored Aurora Lake to kill us."

The several alien immortals stopped and frowned as they looked at the humans surrounded by vines.

They hadn't expected this human to react so quickly and be so cautious.

"Human, you are truly cowardly." A king of an alien race, covered in blue scales and with a slightly hunched back, sneered.

Suk, inside the vines, said, "Gentlemen, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now." He was too lazy to pay attention to these alien kings.

With a whoosh, right in front of several alien races, he swiftly flew away, enveloped by the Death Star Vine.

"snort."

"Cowardly humans."

"He actually managed to dodge it this time."

Several alien kings who had originally wanted to see the human ruler make a fool of himself were both angry and helpless.
