Chapter 148 The Foundation of the East Sea Dragon Clan
A golden array enveloped the entire Dragon Palace, seemingly indestructible.
However, in an instant, it shattered silently, without the slightest warning.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent, never expecting that Lin Xuan could actually break through the great formation.
How did he do that?
Many people wanted to ask questions, but for a moment they couldn't bring themselves to ask them; they were too surprised and remained silent.
Lin Xuan didn't have too many thoughts on it. He had been watching the durability bar the whole time and was prepared for whatever might happen.
He strode forward with an air of nonchalance.
At this moment, almost all the scales on his tail had fallen off, his claws were broken, and he looked extremely disheveled.
There are actually many guards in the Dragon Palace.
One-on-one, he is no match for Lin Xuan, but together they are a formidable opponent.
Unfortunately, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals left in the Dragon Palace were so frightened when they saw Lin Xuan slowly approaching that they turned and ran away.
Even several of the turtle prime ministers, after pondering for a while, had no choice but to retreat.
Lin Xuan's strength is truly unfathomable; his current performance may simply be a ploy to lure people in.
If anyone dares to approach, Lin Xuan will immediately drop his disguise and reveal his full power.
They lacked the confidence to stop it.
In Chentang Pass, Ao Guang suddenly awoke, gritting his teeth in anger.
"These useless idiots!"
His voice was shrill, as if he wanted to devour all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals left behind in the Dragon Palace.
Nezha burst into laughter upon hearing Ao Guang's words.
Ao Guang glared angrily at Nezha, wanting nothing more than to slap the brat to death.
He hesitated for a long time but ultimately did not make a move. He returned to the heavens in resentment and came before Venus.
Ao Guang stared at Venus, a question arising in his mind: why did this old immortal seem somewhat disappointed?
He had no time to ask questions, and, transforming into human form, cupped his hands and said:
"Old Immortal, that Lin Xuan is going too far! Please send me some heavenly soldiers!"
Venus turned his head in displeasure and snorted coldly:
"Dragon King of the East Sea, you are a descendant of the ancient dragon race, while Lin Xuan is just a mere flood dragon."
"If you want to kill him, why borrow the troops of my Heavenly Court?"
This was really disrespectful to Ao Guang, and it didn't make any sense either.
No matter what, Ao Guang was a lackey of the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court's dispatch of troops this time was to avenge Ao Guang's third son.
Even when Ao Guang personally requested it, Venus still refused.
Many of the heavenly soldiers frowned, deep in thought, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.
Some heavenly soldiers, however, paid no attention to these things, their eyes fixed on the scene in the sky.
Before they ascended to heaven, they were powerful beings in the mortal realm, but they were not wealthy.
In ancient times, the world was far more prosperous and richer than it is today, with a multitude of magical treasures.
But the spiritual energy was also abundant at that time, and many cultivators truly began their seclusion and arduous cultivation from the very beginning of their lives.
He cultivated himself into an immortal solely through the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Most of these heavenly soldiers were like that; after seeing Lin Xuan enter the Dragon Palace, they went straight to the treasure vault and searched for the treasures inside.
They all gasped in astonishment.
"The Dragon Palace of the East Sea actually hides so many treasures? If only I had known..."
Hearing the commotion, Ao Guang hurriedly turned around. He saw Lin Xuan in the scene, seemingly familiar with the place, as if he were returning home.
After wandering through the Dragon Palace without getting lost, they arrived at the treasure vault and smashed down the gate with their claws.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuan used some unknown method to collect all the treasures.
Upon seeing this, Ao Guang's eyes widened, and he roared, "How is this possible? Those treasures all bear the seal of my dragon clan!"
He was filled with fear and even began to suspect that Lin Xuan was not an ordinary dragon, but a dragon from one of the other three oceans in disguise.
Otherwise, how could Lin Xuan have found his treasure vault so quickly?
How could they so easily take away those treasures?
Inside the Dragon Palace's treasure vault, Lin Xuan rummaged through the treasures, shaking his head and sighing.
"What a pity, these things are not spoils of war; they all belong to someone."
"It's alright, I'll keep it for now and talk about it later."
He opened his storage space and put all the treasures inside.
The system's storage space is neither a storage bag nor a supernatural power.
The seals and restrictions set up by Ao Guang had no effect on the system space.
Of course, Lin Xuan couldn't use these treasures either.
Each treasure's name is followed by a note.
This item is a quest item belonging to the East Sea Dragon Clan and you cannot use it at this time.
In the game, these unusable quest items are unwanted even if given away for free; they will only make a mess of the inventory.
However, Lin Xuan was prepared and knew how to "clean up" these props and turn them into real, usable magic weapons.
However, there is no opportunity yet.
After emptying the treasure vault, Lin Xuan did not linger and walked out again.
Since Ao Guang had not yet brought the heavenly soldiers for some reason, he was not in a hurry.
He knew that the Dragon Palace had more than just this one treasure trove.
"Where is Lin Xuan going this time? He couldn't possibly be... No! Impossible!"
Ao Guang, whose eyes were already bloodshot with anger, roared even more furiously after seeing Lin Xuan's actions.
The sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth, making many heavenly soldiers curious about what the Dragon King of the East Sea was shouting.
But they soon realized what was going on.
As Lin Xuan walked, he unexpectedly came to a spacious palace again, and following the same pattern, he broke down the gate once more.
This time, even through the screen, the heavenly soldiers could still smell a rich, exotic fragrance.
This is a complete illusion. The supernatural powers of clairvoyance and clairaudience do not include the ability to conjure up smells.
They smelled the aroma only because of the scene in the palace, which triggered an instinctive reaction.
The palace was almost overflowing with all sorts of magical herbs.
Thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old lingzhi are just the most common herbs. Several large boxes of them were casually placed at the door.
The deeper one goes into the palace, the more precious the magical herbs become.
On a shelf at the very back, there were three large plates, each with a bright red peach on it.
"These are... the peaches of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West?"
"Not just peaches from the Heavenly Palace, but peaches from nine thousand years ago!"
"Where did the Dragon King get it from?"
Many people exclaimed in surprise.
The Heavenly Court holds a Peach Banquet, where the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are honored guests and also receive a share of the peaches.
However, these peaches can only be eaten, not taken away.
No one knows what methods Ao Guang used to secretly smuggle these three peaches out.
Lin Xuan was not surprised to see the three peaches; in the game, these three peaches had always been hidden in the treasure vault.
Moreover, it belongs to a rather special kind of treasure.
If you complete a prerequisite task, you can acquire ownership of these three peaches.
Lin Xuan failed to complete the task, so of course he had no way to obtain it.
But he still stepped forward, stared at the three nine-thousand-year-old peaches, and nodded slightly.
"A peach that is nine thousand years old is better than one that is three thousand years old."
Without hesitation, he waved his hand again, taking all the peaches into his system space.
Seeing this, Ao Guang's heart was bleeding. Even when the Third Prince died last time, he was not as heartbroken as he was now.
Dragons have unlimited lifespans; if you don't court death, you won't die.
As the Dragon King of the East Sea, he was bestowed the title by the Jade Emperor and possessed great fortune, being an integral part of the operation of heaven and earth.
Even if you deliberately court death, it's not that easy to die.
Although a son is precious, one can still have another in the future.
However, the treasures in these vaults are the result of countless years of accumulation by the East Sea Dragon Clan.
The spiritual energy of the primordial world is gradually waning, and many treasures and immortal herbs are becoming increasingly rare; once they're gone, they're gone forever.
Once Lin Xuan empties the treasure vault, it can never be restored.
"Lin Xuan!"
Ao Guang could no longer hold back. Regardless of whether Lin Xuan had any other tricks up his sleeve, he soared into the sky and flew towards the Dragon Palace.
