Chapter 465 - 461: Grand Earth Cache Opening
A figure blurred, arriving beside Wei Wuyin with a solemn air. Their pretty eyes gazed at the two approaching figures in the distance with a dark expression. This was Ai Yin. She didn’t speak, but she stayed near Wei Wuyin.
Wei Wuyin faintly smiled. She was extremely cautious of the Holy Clans, especially guessing their intentions. There were numerous rumors that called into question the legitimacy of these Holy Clans, believing their Holy Bloodline had thinned too much, being unfit.
There were numerous individuals calling for Wei Wuyin’s inclusion, to be integrated into the Holy Clans. These words weren’t just external, but even a few of the elite experts of the Holy Clans were concerned. The successive generations of awakened Inherited Holy Children became progressively worse in terms of quality, with some of these Inherited Holy Children not amounting to much at all.
They would display their Holy Bloodline and Badges of Divinity before others without the ability to back it up. It dissatisfied many.
Ai Yin knew one of these Holy Clans harbored ill-intentions while the other sought to bring Wei Wuyin to their side using marriage. If that didn’t work, who knew what they would do. But with these two differing opinions, the Holy Clans were in conflict.
Wei Wuyin learned the two Holy Clans were called the Lei and Shaung Clans. The Lei Clan held the Lightning Element Badge of Divinity, and they worshipped the Divinity named Yuni. The Shaung Clan held the Ice Element Badge of Divinity, and they worshipped the Divinity Motu.
According to the records, the Central Region was created by the merging of the Lightning and Ice Regions. At the time, the Four Extreme Continent was named the Six Extreme Continent. But after thousands of years, the two territories with Holy Children had merged somehow, shrinking the continent’s overall size.
It is likely that the Desolate Lands will similarly merge, turning the Four Extreme Continent into the Three Extreme Continent.
As the figures above arrived, unleashing waves of pulsating air pressure as they moved, Wei Wuyin couldn’t help but be awed. They were in the shape of oceanic freighters with a length that spanned for tens of miles and an extremely wide width. On the flat surface were several palaces and buildings, suitable for living within, instead of the usual shipping containers. It seemed like a miniature city!
These were Holy Voidships, vehicles of monstrous proportions, that could traverse the void. Legends said they were left behind by the Divinities, given to the Holy Children in hopes they could breach the Mortal Limits, breaking the shackles of this world.
Wei Wuyin, as someone who knew of the outside world, knew this held a bit of truth in it. Because this was the long lost voidships used to traverse between stars and the Dark Void! They had shown up during the golden era of the King of Everlore, but they vanished for some inexplicable reason.
The only ones capable of making these ships were Starlords, and the only ones capable of having enough astral force to urge it through the Dark Void were Starlords! But having it fly through normal space, even Realmlords could handle that task.
He had only read about these ships, both in the Myriad Monarch Sect and inside the True Desolate Temple. When he saw them for the first time, he was amazed and awed. They were extremely long! They were truly like floating cities!
A burning desire to own one flared within his heart.
"Hmph! As Void Dragons, why do we need such a pathetic tool?" Kratos disdained the concept of Voidships, and was extremely vocal about it. Even when Wei Wuyin had read about it in the True Desolate Temple, it flared with contempt at the notion.
They could open Void Portals, traverse the true void in moments, why the need for such a gaudy trinket?
Wei Wuyin shook his head. "Why own a Grand Sky Palace when you can sleep outside? Because it feels awesome!" That was his point of view at least. While a little childish, he still wished to maintain his heart of innocence. If he lost that, he would lose the excitement to explore the world and have dreams.
Furthermore, traveling using his Void Bloodline Powers that took too much of his own energy and lost a large portion of a journey’s benefits. He loved sightseeing, so traveling without needing to expend his own energies was a blessing, and arriving at one’s destination a little slower than instantaneously was also a precious gift.
The torrential surging of wind from the massive entities was terrifying. Fortunately, everyone present was experts among experts. They urged their astral force and shielded themselves from the rapid winds, observing in awe.
The two ships halted a few miles away from the gathered crowd, allowing everyone to clearly observe their glorious design and exquisite functions. They floated in the void the same way ships floated on water. There was a little wobbling as if they rode the ambient space like waves.
Ai Yin inched closer to Wei Wuyin. Wei Wuyin looked at her faintly trembling body, those eyes of hers hiding a ferocity to lay it all on the line. Considering Wei Wuyin had yet to impregnate anyone, she wasn’t willing to allow a single thing of harm to reach him.
But Wei Wuyin couldn’t help but chuckle in his heart. ’ You might be a Timelord, but your cultivation base is suppressed in this world. During the Season of Regression, you might not even be stronger than me. ’ This thought flashed through his mind as two figures from each Holy voidship, totalling four, left and approached.
They weren’t the Inherited Holy Children, but Envoys.
Wei Wuyin didn’t bother with them. Clearly they wanted to come to him, talk about the Grand Earth Cache with their solemn expressions and grandiose air. He merely turned and shouted to the world, "The rules of the Grand Earth Cache Opening will be simple. No one is allowed to enter until I’ve explored and accounted for its contents. Then, I’ll allow the experts to bid on individual objects.
"I won’t be handling this, but my most trusted Grand Priestess will. Anyone who breaks this rule, well, you know others won’t allow that, so I won’t go into that. After all, you’re not just robbing me, but everyone here. The competition will be fairly held, as long as you’re bidding and have the wealth on you, you’ll have it. If you do not have your bidded price, you’ll forfeit the item and it’ll go to the next highest bidder. Understood?" Wei Wuyin’s voice was carried by mental energies, entering everyone’s mind with absolute clarity.
The Holy Envoys were startled by Wei Wuyin’s words. Their expressions darkened.
Wei Wuyin continued to ignore them, "I’ve sent a list of materials that will go for ten times the estimated value. If you have some of the highest valued ones, you can automatically reserve any item amongst the list for yourself. You don’t have to worry about me keeping anything for myself. I won’t be bringing in storage rings on my person, but the items that belong to my Holy Bloodline, such as a Holy Starship and those other Holy Items, will be mine."
After he said that, he swore an extremely vicious oath to ease their worries, in which included that he nor anyone he knew had previously entered or taken anything from the cache prior to today, and he floated to the base of the lone mountain. He held the Earth Element Token into the sky and activated it. He felt the Grand Earth Intent within the badge flare up, then interact with him, and burst into vast, piercing light that entered the sky.
The crowd was watching with widened eyes, seeing the divine light enter the sky. They were wondering if a phenomenon would occur, but what happened left them disappointed. After the light entered the sky, another light pierced down. Then, an opening formed in the base of the mountain.
Many felt tempted, but the auras of others kept them in check. They didn’t wish to move forward and be blasted into nothingness. And so, when they saw someone else seemingly itch with greed, their eyes lit up dangerously as they sought to strike. Unfortunately, no one took the bait.
The Holy Clans were extremely gloomy, looking at the crowd and Wei Wuyin. They, too, wanted to venture inside first. The dangers, however, were too high.
The young woman sighed, "Like you said, they’re keeping each other in check. They’re just waiting for someone to slip up."
The old man chuckled, "Fear everywhere."
The hilarious part was that Wei Wuyin didn’t immediately enter. He allowed a wide-open path into the opening, yet for a solid minute, not a single individual acted. Wei Wuyin pouted.
In truth, he wanted to see someone get blasted by the astral force of hundreds of Realmlords. How glorious would that be? This was why he stayed. Well, maybe one day. He turned away and shot into the opening.
When he arrived, entering the cache, it was an extremely expansive room filled with boxes and transparent pillars holding specific materials, tools, and items. At the back was a particular tool of a certain enormity!
A Holy Voidship!
His eyes brightened considerably. When he swept his eyes across the room, his heart violently pounded! So much? Everything...EVERYTHING he needed was in this room! Soul Ash of Divine Jade? A shit ton! Spatial Jade Crystal?! So much! All sorts of things the starfield lacked!!!
With a heavy smirk, his heart throbbed endlessly as boundless Void Force gushed out of his pores. He laughed in his heart.
After merely five seconds passed, Wei Wuyin exited the opening, his expression absolutely calm and collected. He looked at everyone, sweeping his gaze across the entire audience with an increasingly chilly gaze.
He stopped his gaze onto the Lei Clan’s Holy Envoys. With the loudest voice filled with blistering anger, he roared at the Lei Clan with unfathomably trembling rage in his voice: "EVERYTHING HAS BEEN STOLEN!"
"..."
"..."
"WHAT?!" The crowd of elite experts went wild!
