Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 1167 - 1107: The Chaos Cauldron’s Tremor
Swish!
After Ao Ning spoke, in an instant, the gaze of the Peak Lords present focused on him.
At this moment, of the fifteen people who had barged into the second Treasure Cave of the third heaven of the Chaotic Heavenly Hall, there were six Peak Lords, four Peak Divine Masters, and then Ye Chen and the other five geniuses below the Divine Master Realm.
The Peak Lords were numerous and the strongest, their alignment lent an overwhelming pressure.
Ao Ning, daring to stand out under such circumstances, was certainly extraordinary.
As expected.
Initially, Hua Tianjue frowned upon hearing dissent, but when he saw the person objecting was Ao Ning, his expression changed several times and he did not scold him. Instead, he said, "Ao Ning, my friend, there’s no need to be angry. With your strength, you aptly belong in our Peak Lord ranks, and we wouldn’t treat you as a regular Divine Master during exploration."
"As for the others," Hua Tianjue’s gaze turned to the other Divine Masters and those below Divine Master Realm, "we still have to adhere to the rules, and the Treasure taken out must be shown to us!"
Hua Tianjue directly began to rope in Ao Ning, starting to divide the Divine Master team.
Upon hearing Hua Tianjue’s words, Ao Ning seemed utterly pleased, smiling and nodding, "Since Senior Hua says so, I have no objections."
Clearly, having secured his interests, Ao Ning was satisfied and did not intend to oppose the six Peak Lords truly.
Ao Ning’s words brought a smile to Hua Tianjue’s face. Hua Tianjue turned, his gaze shifted to the others, and said, "What about the rest of you? Any objections to this Treasure collection arrangement?"
At this time, not a single Divine Master dared to stand out again.
Amid the crowd.
Ning Xiaoxiao transmitted to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, these Lords are too much, demanding we let them inspect our Treasures after obtaining them. How is this any different from seizing our Treasures?"
Ning Xiaoxiao was extremely indignant.
However, the leader of her team, Overlord Hongjue, did not care for her at all, and she, not daring to stand against them like Ao Ning, could only grumble.
Ye Chen was indifferent to Hua Tianjue’s arrangement.
The desire of those Peak Lords to inspect the storage space after collection might expose secrets for others, but for Ye Chen, it had no effect.
On him, the precious Stars Tower could store his Treasures safely.
The Stars Tower was genuinely a Star Lord Level Treasure; even among Star Lord Level Treasures, it would rank at the forefront.
The contents of the Stars Tower couldn’t be probed by the likes of Hua Tianjue, and even the vast majority of Star Lords couldn’t fathom it!
No matter what Ye Chen hid, it was unknown to Hua Tianjue, so why would Ye Chen worry about secrets being exposed?
Ye Chen could only comfort Ning Xiaoxiao upon her enraged words.
After all, this world was cruel; strength was paramount, and with the Peak Lords uniting to seize the finest Treasures, he couldn’t say much more.
What concerned Ye Chen was why Ao Ning could make the Peak Lords concede.
While Ye Chen and Ning Xiaoxiao conversed, another voice entered Ye Chen’s ears, "Young friend Ye Chen."
It was the voice of Yuan Qingzi, the leader of the Ancestral God Temple team!
"Senior Yuan." Hearing Yuan Qingzi’s transmission, Ye Chen quickly halted his conversation with Ning Xiaoxiao and turned to Yuan Qingzi.
"Young friend Ye Chen, under these circumstances, the Lords all wish to obtain the best items, and I can’t oppose them alone. My apologies, young friend," Yuan Qingzi transmitted to Ye Chen.
"Senior, don’t worry. I don’t expect the luck to acquire the best Treasures. If they wish to inspect, let them inspect," Ye Chen responded to Yuan Qingzi.
Upon hearing Ye Chen agree to the Treasure collection arrangement without many complaints, Yuan Qingzi also sighed in relief.
Ye Chen then asked, "Senior Yuan, might I inquire about Ao Ning’s background?"
"That Ao Ning is a super-genius from Primordial God Mountain. Although only at the Ninefold Divine Master Realm, his combat power is already near the level of a Cosmic Emperor, more importantly, he is backed by a genuine Cosmic Emperor."
"Although his combat power can’t match Hua Tianjue’s, just having a Cosmic Emperor backing him makes Hua Tianjue unwilling to provoke him."
"Naturally, he dares to stand out," Yuan Qingzi explained.
Backed by a genuine Cosmic Emperor!
No wonder.
Yuan Qingzi’s words finally helped Ye Chen understand Ao Ning’s background.
While Ye Chen and Yuan Qingzi conversed, other Divine Masters and geniuses below the Divine Master Realm were also communicating with their teams’ leaders. Without a background like Ao Ning’s, after some appeasement, they accepted the Treasure collection rules set by the alliance of Peak Lords.
Ultimately.
Besides Ao Ning, the remaining three Divine Masters and five geniuses below the Divine Master Realm, including the genius Yu Shendu from Primordial God Mountain and Ye Chen, had to open their storage spaces for inspection by the six Peak Lords and Ao Ning after obtaining Treasures.
However, after a series of communications among the teams, there was a small concession for the Divine Masters and those below their level.
If an item obtained from the first Treasure Cave or a pre-owned Cosmic Emperor-level Treasure was shown now, they didn’t need to be surrendered upon later inspection.
The Peak Lords only wanted newly acquired powerful Treasures from the second Treasure Cave.
With this rule clarified, to everyone’s surprise, Ning Xiaoxiao immediately presented two Cosmic Emperor-level Treasures, while Yu Shendu also produced two Cosmic Emperor-level Treasures.
Even the remaining three Divine Masters each produced one Cosmic Emperor-level Treasure.
Except for one of Ning Xiaoxiao’s Cosmic Emperor-level Treasures being retrieved from the first Treasure Cave, the rest of the Treasures owned by others were already in their possession.
This made Ye Chen wary of the people present.
Those who managed to get here indeed had many trump cards!
It’s likely those Peak Lords had even more precious Treasures!
Of course, Ye Chen has far more treasures than Ning Xiaoxiao and Yu Shendu, but with the Stars Tower hiding them, he is not foolish enough to take them out for others to see.
Once the treasures and rules were confirmed, the treasure retrieval from the second Treasure Cave finally commenced officially!
Swoosh.
When Hua Tianjue was the first to fly into the ice pillar and began using his two opportunities for treasure retrieval, all eyes filled with excitement.
Even the three Divine Masters and the five below Divine Master Realm talents, who would have their storage space inspected, were extremely excited.
After all, the treasures within this second Treasure Cave, the lowest level are Overlord Level treasures, and the highest could even be Star Lord Level treasures!
Even though obtaining the highest level Star Lord Level treasure might not mean keeping it, as it could be snatched away, witnessing the divine wonders of such treasures is absolutely worthwhile.
Moreover, these few individuals were thinking, if they could use the divine might of a Star Lord Level treasure to intimidate the overlords present, perhaps they might even keep the treasure in their possession!
Even if not, acquiring an Overlord Level treasure would definitely be worth it.
This, of course, made everyone extremely excited!
Boom! Boom!
Hua Tianjue’s treasure retrieval took only the time of half an incense stick, and after he emerged from both ice pillars, he showed an expression of disappointment on his face.
Clearly, he did not obtain that precious Star Lord Level treasure.
Following Hua Tianjue, it was Overlord Hongjue’s turn.
Overlord Hongjue flew into the ice pillar with great anticipation, and after retrieving treasures, she showed a mix of disappointment and a hint of joy.
She was disappointed that she didn’t get the most precious Star Lord Level treasure but pleased to have obtained a rare Cosmic Emperor Level treasure, which was a decent haul.
Treasure retrieval continued one by one.
Soon, the six Peak Lords and Ao Ning completed their treasure retrieval.
From the expressions of those in the following group, it was impossible to tell what treasures they had obtained, but it seemed Hua Tianjue had some special divine object able to sense the treasures others took out. He was very certain these individuals did not seize the Star Lord Level treasure, and he focused his gaze on those further back, hoping the upcoming individuals could seize the Star Lord Level treasure for him to snatch.
Under Hua Tianjue’s watchful gaze, three Divine Masters also began their treasure retrieval one by one.
Once they completed their retrieval, their storage spaces were directly inspected by the Peak Lords and Ao Ning in unison.
To their disappointment, the three Divine Masters each only obtained two Overlord Level treasures, which were not worth robbing.
Then, it was Yu Shendu’s turn.
For Yu Shendu, it was uncertain whether his luck was good or bad this time.
The two treasures he retrieved included one Cosmic Emperor Level treasure, which was detected directly in his storage space.
Ultimately, this treasure was forcibly taken by Hua Tianjue, who then consoled Yu Shendu, giving him an Overlord Level treasure in exchange.
Next was Ning Xiaoxiao.
Ning Xiaoxiao also obtained a Cosmic Emperor Level treasure, which was taken by Overlord Hongjue, similarly exchanged for an Overlord Level treasure.
Then it was Ye Chen’s turn.
Ye Chen looked at the thousands of treasure ice pillars in the second Treasure Cave, took a deep breath, and flew directly into one of them.
At this moment, the Star Lord Level treasure had yet to emerge, and all eyes outside were fixed on the ice pillar Ye Chen had entered.
Hua Tianjue and the others hoped that Ye Chen would retrieve a good treasure so they could snatch it.
If Ye Chen could retrieve a Cosmic Emperor Level treasure, it would be a significant gain.
If he obtained the Star Lord Level treasure, it would incite a frenzy for its possession!
However, what these individuals did not know was that, upon entering the ice pillar treasure space, Ye Chen was completely unconcerned about the countless eyes staring at him from outside.
This ice pillar’s treasure space could not be explored from outside.
As soon as Ye Chen entered this space, with a flick of his hand, a divine object appeared in his grasp. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
This was a peculiar small cauldron, about the size of a palm.
The cauldron was something Ye Chen had acquired after wiping out the Divine Soul of that Peak Cosmic Emperor in the Ghost Mist. Initially, that Cosmic Emperor was pursued by numerous Cosmic Emperors for this cauldron from the mysterious Chaos Void—Chaos Cauldron.
The Chaos Cauldron was extraordinarily mysterious.
Ye Chen had been unable to open it since he obtained it.
Through the soul memory of that Cosmic Emperor, he learned that to open the Chaos Cauldron, one must find the three key opening materials: Absolute Divine Fire, Nine-Source Water, and Immortal Chaos Wood.
Unable to open the cauldron, Ye Chen had kept the Chaos Cauldron with him, never using it, instead utilizing treasures from the Cosmic Emperor’s other miraculous treasure, the Refining God Chart.
But now, within this treasure retrieval ice pillar, Ye Chen brought out the Chaos Cauldron.
What nobody knew, including Ye Chen himself, was that upon arriving at the second Treasure Cave, as Ye Chen used his Origin Star Aperture cultivated through the Tai Yu Chapter to sense the precious treasure ice pillars, he directly felt the Chaos Cauldron’s vibrations.
The Chaos Cauldron responded due to the presence of this ice pillar space!
Evidently, this space was intrinsically linked to the Chaos Cauldron.
Previously, Ye Chen was worried that others might enter this ice pillar, but among thousands of choices, fortunately, no one else noticed this particular ice pillar.
Finally, Ye Chen flew into this ice pillar.
Ye Chen was determined to uncover the unique traits of this ice pillar.
And why it could even cause the Chaos Cauldron to vibrate!
