Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 678: Sudden Wealth (Part 2)

Chapter 678 -678: Sudden Wealth (Part 2)

This copper bell was only the size of a palm, designed with an ancient simplicity and bursting with spiritual light from within; its surface was engraved with countless tiny True Seal Talisman Scripts as fine as ants.

Wang Chen had experienced its formidable power—if it weren’t for the True Form Chart of the Mystical Mirage Dragon shielding him, he would have been suppressed on the spot.

Now that the chief culprit had turned to ash, this magical treasure still remained defiant and unruly in Wang Chen’s hands, exuding a sense of resistance.

“This is simple,” the little ding said after toying with the copper bell for a moment.

Normally, Wang Chen would have no chance of utilizing True Person Ye’s lifebound magic treasure.

Even the little ding could only melt it down for materials.

...

That would truly be a waste of heavenly gifts.

But as it happened, Wang Chen had obtained True Person Ye’s Golden Core, and it was in perfect condition.

As long as he processed the Golden Core into an External Core while preserving a sliver of its spirit, Wang Chen could indirectly control the copper bell by manipulating the External Core, unleashing most of its power.

At that time, the little ding could also give it a new look to avoid attracting trouble by revealing its roots.

Wang Chen thus gained another treasure and simply entrusted it to the little ding for disposal.

The little ding took on two big tasks in a row and immediately shrunk back into the Creation Cauldron and got busy.

According to it, the creation of an External Core would take at least thirty days.

This also required a continuous supply of Spirit Stones.

Of course, Wang Chen was not stingy with Spirit Stones.

He had obtained True Person Ye’s Sumeru Ring.

The problem was that he couldn’t open it.

There were restrictions set by True Person Ye on this Sumeru Ring that could not be forcefully broken unless one’s cultivation level was higher than his.

Wang Chen was, of course, not even worth mentioning in this regard.

But this problem was not unsolvable, as Wang Chen had already thought of a method.

That’s why he didn’t ask the little ding for help again.

Setting aside the Sumeru Ring, Wang Chen picked up a brocade Storage Bag.

This rather luxuriously designed Storage Bag had come from the possession of Sima Changming.

As a lapdog of True Person Ye, Sima Changming’s cultivation realm was higher than Wang Chen’s, and the time since his breakthrough mansion was much longer; his accumulated wealth over the years must be substantial.

If True Person Ye was the captain of the transport team, then Sima Changming was the boy delivering wealth.

Wang Chen estimated there were also many treasures inside this Storage Bag.

However, he was temporarily unable to inspect them.

Sima Changming’s Storage Bag also had restrictions.

Although Sima Changming was strong, he was still of the Purple Mansion; with some effort, Wang Chen could erase the other’s Dharma Seal.

But he had a more effortless way.

Wang Chen returned to the core area of the Evil Eye, then placed True Person Ye’s Sumeru Ring and Sima Changming’s Storage Bag on the ground to let them be eroded by the Yin Sha Energy.

True Person Ye’s Sumeru Ring was of a very high tier, but without its master’s protection, its surface gradually began to blacken under the assault of the Yin Sha Evil Power so intense it was nearly tangible.

This was a sign of erosion.

Even though the Sumeru Ring emitted Spiritual Light on its own, warding off most of the erosion by the Yin Sha Evil Power,

it clearly couldn’t last for too long.

Without the hide, the hair would have no place to attach; once there were problems with the Sumeru Ring itself, the True Person’s restrictions set upon it certainly couldn’t remain in place forever.

Then Wang Chen could easily extract the items inside at his leisure.

Despite the fact that this method was “damaging” and the valuable Sumeru Ring would inevitably be ruined,

Wang Chen really didn’t care.

In fact, he had no plans to keep True Person Ye’s Sumeru Ring for himself.

Who knows what other hidden traps might be on it?

For safety’s sake, taking out the items inside and then destroying it was the safest!

Compared to the True Person’s Sumeru Ring, Sima Changming’s Storage Bag’s endurance was much poorer.

Wang Chen only waited for half a two hours, and the Storage Bag’s surface had completely turned to a dark gray color, void of any Spiritual Light, ready to collapse at any moment.

Seeing the timing was about right, Wang Chen immediately picked it up to inspect.

As expected, Sima Changming’s mana imprint was gone, and the restrictions he had set up no longer existed.

Wang Chen channeled his mana and, without any surprise, opened it.

But the surface of the Storage Bag also began to show a fine network of cracks.

Wang Chen couldn’t afford to inspect each item one by one, so he took all the contents out and stuffed them directly into his own Sumeru Ring.

By the time everything inside was emptied out, the Storage Bag had turned into nothing more than scraps.

It was completely destroyed.

Compared to it, True Person Ye’s Sumeru Ring lasted several times longer.

But Wang Chen had plenty of patience.

He had the Heavenly Net Robe for body protection, unafraid of the invasion of Yin Sha evil power, with only the monster spirits and evil wraiths to guard against.

However, during this time, the monster spirits and evil wraiths seemed to have vanished into thin air, with none of the sightless ones coming out to cause trouble.

This actually caused Wang Chen some minor disappointment—he had hoped to rake in some Human Virtue on the way back.

After the upgrade, the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net’s ability had strengthened, and not to mention “Grievance” tier evil spirits, even if a “Fiend” tier one came along, he was willing to test their mettle.

As for higher tier “Fierce” evil spirits, should they appear in the Evil Eye region, Yongle Immortal City above would certainly take notice, and they would be eradicated at all costs.

That’s why Wang Chen dared to layout a trap here for the Golden Core True Person and use it as a tool to break the seal.

As time passed, True Person Ye’s Sumeru Ring eventually had its seal broken.

All of its contents were taken by Wang Chen.

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

He immediately returned to Free Residence.

And then he tallied his gains.

Fortune had smiled upon him!

This was Wang Chen’s first thought after a rough sort through the haul.

First were the items from Sima Changming’s Storage Bag.

The Director of the Supervisory Hall did not disappoint Wang Chen; he contributed Spirit Stones estimated to be around three million Low Spirit grade.

There were also five or six top-notch Spiritual Artifacts and one Magical Treasure.

As for Pills and Talismans, he had a considerable quantity of those as well.

Some odd and curious items he didn’t have time to study just yet, so they had to be set aside for later.

Wang Chen’s attention mainly focused on the Sumeru Ring.

In True Person Ye’s Sumeru Ring, the middle and upper-grade Spirit Stones were worth over ten million Low Spirit grade combined.

There were also vast amounts of precious materials, including some heavenly and earthy treasures.

There were three Magical Treasures, including a luxurious Flying Warship.

As for Pills and Talismans, those were even more plentiful.

The Talismans were mostly third-tier Treasure Talismans, with varieties meant for attack, defense, and assistance, all invaluable, worth no less than ten million Spirit Stones.

Wang Chen truly experienced the sensation of sudden wealth.

And the biggest surprise was undoubtedly a Jade Slip that emitted a faint Spiritual Light.

This Jade Slip was a Cultivation Technique, within it sealed nine powerful spells!

And these spells were not restricted by the “The Law Must Not Be Transmitted Lightly”, so as long as Wang Chen was willing, he could learn them and then teach them to others without any restrictions.

The value of such spells was unquestionable.

Now that the Jade Slip was in his hands, Wang Chen naturally was not in a hurry to learn them.

His time and energy, after all, were limited and he could not split his focus to deal with different matters one by one.

In the following days, Wang Chen would continue his patrols in his jurisdiction as usual.

The fall of a Golden Core True Person would not go unnoticed by those above.

Wang Chen quietly waited for the news to spread and ferment.

He prepared for the worst possible outcome!
