Looking at the mountain of Divine Elixir Pills in front of him, Fang Chen could not help but be speechless. The Gu Clan was indeed the number one clan in the Immemorial Chaotic World. Their wealth was incredible.
Divine Elixir Pills were the currency used by Universe Gods as well as cultivation resources.
Within the Divine Elixir Pills, there was a majestic power of the Heavenly Way and even a trace of the Supreme Law.
Under normal circumstances, even an Emperor-to-be's net worth was only tens of thousands of Divine Elixir Pills. One million Divine Elixir Pills was enough to establish a sect. However, the Gu Clan had hundreds of millions of Divine Elixir Pills. It was simply unimaginable.
"Phew."
Fang Chen took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart. He put the hundred million Divine Elixir Pills into his Sumeru Ring.
"From the Boundary Evolution Realm to the Emperor-to-be Realm requires a vast amount of energy. If I absorb the Divine Elixir Pills, the speed will be much faster."
Fang Chen muttered to himself.
With his attainments in martial arts and comprehension of the Supreme Law, he had already reached the Emperor-to-be Realm. However, his strength was still insufficient, so he could not break through.
With these Divine Elixir Pills, it would not be long before he could step into the Emperor-to-be Realm.
"The Gu Clan has saved me a lot of trouble."
Fang Chen said with a grin. Then, his gaze landed on a picture scroll.
"This is …"
He waved his hand gently, and in an instant, a layer of restriction on the painting scroll was removed. The real painting scroll appeared in front of him.
This was a landscape painting. In the painting, there was a man standing on a broken bridge with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery in the stream. If one were to look at it seriously, they would discover that on the sparkling surface of the lake, there were droplets of water that formed rays of sword light.
"Swordsmanship?"
Fang Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the painting scroll seriously.
After a long time, his face was filled with joy.
"Apocalypse Painting Scroll, this is the Apocalypse Painting Scroll."
He laughed heartily and was extremely excited.
He was well aware of the power of the Apocalypse Painting Scroll. Even in the Sacred Palace, there were only three paintings. He did not expect the Gu Clan to have other paintings.
Weng!
Just as Fang Chen was rejoicing, the eyes of the figure in the Apocalypse Painting flickered. A beam of light shot out and entered Fang Chen's mind.
The next moment, Fang Chen felt his head tremble as countless pieces of information poured into it.
Not long after, he fully accepted this information.
"I see."
Fang Chen sighed. There were a total of three scrolls in the Armageddon Painting. Each scroll contained three sword moves. The Armageddon Painting in the Holy Palace was the first scroll, while the Gu family's was the second scroll.
At the same time, he also knew that the Armageddon Swordsmanship was created by a supreme Sword Principle expert from the antiquity times. His attainments in Sword Principle had reached an unbelievable level. There were even rumors that he was only one step away from the true peak of Sword Principle.
"Who would have thought that the Apocalypse Picture Scroll came from the Godsfall Battlefield."
Fang Chen's eyes flashed. He was becoming more and more interested in the Godsfall Battlefield.
Unfortunately, he had not yet mastered the Apocalypse Third Sword, so he could not practice the three sword moves in the second scroll.
"The power of the Apocalyptic Second Sword is already so strong. How strong are the three sword moves in the middle scroll?"
Fang Chen was quite curious.
However, he knew that he could not bite off more than he could chew on the Martial Way.
"I'll study this scroll after I master the Apocalypse Third Sword."
After putting away the Apocalypse Picture Scroll, Fang Chen's gaze fell on the last two items.
One of them was a broken sword.
The black broken sword was covered with rust. It looked very ordinary from the outside.
"Since the Gu family treats it as a treasure, it must be unique."
Fang Chen said as he carefully observed the broken sword.
After a long while, he shook his head helplessly. No matter how he examined it, the broken sword did not move.
In the end, he gave up.
"Forget it, I'll think about it later."
His intuition told him that there was a great secret hidden in the broken sword.
The last item was a black command token. A demonic flower was drawn on the front, and the word 'kill' was written on the back.
"This token?"
Fang Chen held the token in his hand and suddenly felt a bloody killing aura coming from it.
"What a terrifying killing aura."
Fang Chen exclaimed, but he could not see the origin of the token.
"Let's ask Palace Master Mu Qing."
…
Many Palace Masters gathered in the Sacred Hall.
"Palace Master Mu Qing, don't worry. I've just asked the Red Brows Monster. Everything in the Treasure Pagoda is normal. Not long ago, they went to ask Emperor Xiao, who said that Fang Xi is fine for the time being." Palace Master Mu Qing glanced at Fang Chen and said.
Fang Chen nodded. Now that the Gu family had been destroyed, he would do his best to find those precious materials.
"Palace Master Mu Qing, what's going on with the Dark Shadow Ghost Clan that tried to assassinate me?"
Fang Chen had never heard of the Dark Shadow Ghost Clan before, but when they tried to assassinate him in the Ancient Region, they had erupted with such great power.
Moreover, from the tone of Palace Master Mu Qing and the others, the Dark Shadow Ghost Clan was not a single person, but a huge organization.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Any random assassin had the battle strength of an invincible Quasi-emperor. How strong was the Dark Shadow Ghost Clan?
"The Dark Shadow Spirit Clan is one of the darkest clans in the world. Their existence is to destroy the human race.
The power you erupted with in the Ancient Region was too strong, so the Dark Shadow Ghost Clan could not help but try to assassinate you. "
Palace Master Mu Qing said, "Everyone thinks that the greatest enemy of the Human Race is the Corpse Demon, but …"
Palace Master Mu Qing slowly shook his head.
"The Corpse Demon is nothing in the eyes of the Sacred Palace. In the great battle back then, the Human Race killed all the upper echelons of the Corpse Demon. Even if there were some left behind, they would not have much of an impact on the Human Race.
For countless years, the Corpse Demon has infiltrated the Human Race's territory and assassinated the Human Race cultivators. All of this has been witnessed by the Sacred Palace. "
"Huh?"
Fang Chen frowned, somewhat puzzled.
The Fire Dome Palace Master explained, "Ever since the Ancient Era's Battle of Gods, our human race has fallen into an era of peace. For countless years, with our Sacred Palace guarding the Primordial Chaos, the human race's martial practitioners have lived too comfortably."
Cultivators should seek breakthroughs at the edge of life and death and fight bloody battles.
A comfortable life often made people lose themselves and let their guard down. When the real crisis came, they would not be of any use.
Therefore, the Human Race's Sacred Palace turned a blind eye to the Corpse Demon's actions. As long as they did not go too far, they would not act.
Simply put, the Sacred Palace treated the Corpse Demon as a training target for the Human Race cultivators.
Fang Chen was a little surprised after hearing Palace Master Fire Dome's explanation.
He did not expect the Sacred Palace to be so bold. For countless years, countless Human Race cultivators had died at the hands of the Corpse Demon, but the Sacred Palace had tacitly approved of this.
"Palace Master Fang, the Supreme Laws operate to maintain the balance of the world.
Everything in the world is a cycle of cause and effect. When cultivators die, cultivators are born. If not for the greed in their hearts, the cultivators killed by the Corpse Demon would not have been involved with the Corpse Demon. "
"You have cultivated for too short a time. You will understand in the future." Palace Master Mu Qing nodded.
Fang Chen listened quietly.
"The Corpse Demon is just a training target for the Human Race, but the Shadow Specter is different. It is the true enemy of the Human Race."
Palace Master Mu Qing's expression gradually turned serious when he mentioned the Shadow Specter.
The Sacred Palace Conference lasted for a full day.
When the conference ended, Fang Chen finally had a new understanding of the situation in the Archean Era.
The Shadow Specter Clan was an assassin organization. They would assassinate any Human Race cultivator they found with great potential.
Their attacks were almost infallible.
Because their whereabouts were extremely secretive and unpredictable, the Human Race had failed to encircle and annihilate them many times.
This time, they even brought the Soul Kill Dagger to assassinate Fang Chen. Fortunately, the King of the Demon Race had resolved the crisis at the last moment.
"Palace Master Fang, the Shadow Specter Clan has failed to assassinate you. I don't think they will let this go. You have to be careful during this period." Samsara Sword Emperor warned.
"I know."
Fang Chen nodded. In fact, what really made him afraid was that the Shadow Specter Clan in the Archean Chaos was only a branch of a powerful clan.
That powerful clan had participated in the Battle of the Gods in the Antiquity Age and was eventually destroyed. However, some of their clansmen had survived and were sleeping and cultivating in the Battlefield of the Gods.
Later, they reproduced and some of their descendants walked out of the Battlefield of the Gods, creating the Shadow Specter Clan that struck fear in people.
"What exactly is in the Battlefield of the Gods?"
Fang Chen could not help but ask.
"The Godsfall Battlefield is the battlefield where the Godsfall Battle took place in the ancient times. It is filled with boundless power. Even the supreme laws cannot operate normally there. If a Quasi-emperor enters it, there is no chance of survival. It is said that only a Sovereign of the Emperor Realm can barely survive there," the Samsara Sword Emperor said.
Over the years, countless powerful Heaven's prides had emerged from the Human Race. After they stepped into the Quasi-emperor realm, they entered the Battlefield of the Gods and never came out again.
"Don't try to enter before you have enough strength."
Palace Master Mu Qing said.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
At present, Fang Chen's focus was to save his daughter. Therefore, even if there was a chance, he would not take the risk to enter the Battlefield of the Gods.
"After I save Xi 'er, if there is a chance, I really have to go to the Battlefield of the Gods to investigate."
He shook his head and temporarily gave up on this plan. Fang Chen suddenly remembered the token he had obtained from the Gu Clan.
"Palace Master Mu Qing, do you recognize this token?" Fang Chen took out the token and handed it to Palace Master Mu Qing.
After Palace Master Mu Qing took the token, his expression changed drastically.
"This is … the Blood Emperor's token?"
Palace Master Mu Qing asked hurriedly, "How did you get this token?"
"I got it from the Gu Clan," Fang Chen did not hide anything and said directly.
"The Gu Clan?"
Hearing this, Palace Master Mu Qing's eyes shot out a cold murderous intent.
"It seems that the rumor back then is true."
"What rumor?" Fang Chen was a little puzzled.
