Chapter 99: Terrifying restrictions, enter the manor!
Linley watched as the distant scholar-like Sage died to the point of no return. A hint of solemnity couldn’t help but flash through his eyes.
Seeing this, the nearby Bud helplessly shook his head.
“Kid, that person really is an idiot!”
“Do you know? Legend has it that in this prehistoric empire, a total of 360 Deity Emperors and 88 Deity Kings were conferred titles. And that idiot just entered the residence of the most powerful of the 88 Deity Kings!”
“Deity Emperors, Deity Kings?”
Linley couldn’t help but frown.
These realms which Linley had never heard of were most likely the realms after the Great Sage?
However, to Linley, who was only at the peak of the ninth rank, these things were still far too distant.
It was rumored that the emperors of the five great empires at the Saint realm had surpassed the Great Sage realm and reached the mysterious realm of ‘Deities’.
To be able to be called ‘Deities’ meant that one’s power had most likely reached a completely new level.
Even a Sage or a Great Sage would only be a human who had reached a certain level of power.
As long as the external forces were sufficiently powerful, even a Great Sage would die.
For example, Linley’s Sword of Shadow Walker.
Even if the opponent was a Great Sage, Linley would still be able to kill him.
But what made Linley curious was that this incomparably powerful former empire actually had a total of 88 Deity Kings.
Such a terrifying empire was actually gone just like that.
Just how powerful was the ancient empire!
A hint of surprise flashed through Linley’s eyes.
“Enough, Kid. We can’t waste any more time. Let’s hurry up.”
“I do know of a few mansions, palaces and castles that can be safely entered. Most likely, no one has entered them yet.”
By the side, the desolate Sword Sage Bud hurriedly said in a soft voice.
Linley nodded, then followed Bud towards an extremely secluded castle.
During this period of time, Linley and the desolate Sword Sage Bud had already discussed this matter.
Because Bud had once been to the second level of the ruins, he was extremely familiar with the entire place.
Thus, while Bud was in charge of the treasure hunt, Linley had to prevent the other members of the five great empires from coming to seize the treasures.
As for the two of them, once they acquired the treasures, they would split them 50-50.
“Linley, let me tell you. I know two places that no one has entered yet.”
“One of them is the residence of Deity Emperor Valmos. According to the various ancient records, this Deity Emperor Valmos is a grandmaster alchemist! His residence definitely contains all sorts of divine pills and secret medicines.”
“When I came here in my previous life, I saw that although there were restrictions set up in this Deity Emperor Valmos’ residence, a gap had already appeared due to the passage of time.”
“As long as we pass through the gap, we will be able to enter Deity Emperor Valmos’ residence.”
“As for the other place, it is the armory that Deity Emperor Mu Mu’er used to store his weapons. However, to the important figures of the ancient empire in the past, these weapons are only for the use of the security personnel.”
“But even so, those weapons are at least platinum grandmaster-level weapons.”
“When I entered Deity Mu Mu’er’s armory, I discovered that there was a secret room within it. However, there were quite a few people who entered the armory, and so I didn’t dare to enter. I secretly memorized it. I wonder how it is now.”
As Bud spoke, he asked Linley.
“Linley, you decide. Where are we going to search for treasures?”
Hearing Bud’s words, Linley could clearly sense that Bud was more interested in the Alchemist Master’s residence.
However, after thinking for a moment, Linley came to a decision.
After all, Bud’s days were numbered, and his power was only at the fifth rank of the Sage realm.
With this sort of power, it would be better for him to find some medicine that could increase his cultivation level or extend his lifespan.
Linley looked into the distance and said.
“Since that’s the case, let’s go to the Valmos’ residence first.”
Hearing this, a hint of gratitude flashed through Bud’s eyes.
And then, he led Linley directly towards the skies.
After confirming that no one was following them, Bud descended towards an unremarkable manor.
The manor wasn’t small. Even though it was already damaged, one could still tell just how grand it had been.
Around the manor, there was a blue light barrier that covered the entire manor.
But if one looked carefully, one would discover that. For every hour of operation of the light barrier, a hole roughly a meter wide would appear.
Bud frowned, then waved his right hand.
A fist-sized bug flew out of his hand.
Linley and Bud stared solemnly at the bug.
The entire ruins was filled with danger.
They definitely couldn’t be careless!
After testing out a few times, and confirming that there were no problems at all, Linley and Bud let out sighs of relief.
“Let’s go. It’s time.”
Linley nodded, then followed Bud towards the manor.
Soon, the two of them passed through the restrictive spell.
Nothing happened.
It seemed as though because the restrictive spell had protected the entire manor so well, the entire manor didn’t suffer any external damage.
The two of them pushed open the medicine-refining room, a thick and moldy smell entered their nostrils.
Linley and Bud were both within the manor, so they didn’t casually cast any spells. They quietly waited for the moldy smell to be removed, then used insects to scout the way. After confirming that there were no more problems, only then did they enter the room.
Right now, the room was completely empty.
However, on the shelves of the room, there were dozens of bottles of potions and secret medicines.
The two glanced at each other, didn’t say anything at all, just picked up the potions and began to examine them.
However, after the two inspected them, they quickly discovered that although there were many potions, most of them had already expired and no longer had any medicinal properties.
There were only forty or so bottles of truly useful potions and secret medicines.
However, Linley and Bud were both extremely satisfied with this result.
Although there were forbidden protections in this ruins, these potions had already been through an extremely long period of time. Now, there were still forty bottles of useful potions and secret medicines. This was an extremely good result.
These elixirs were not refined by ordinary people, but by Deity Emperors!
If these elixirs were placed outside, each of them could be sold at a sky-high price!
Even if it was to cause a bloody storm, it would not be excessive.
