All that he had done was for the hope that one day, he could enter the Heavenly Dragonâs treasury, and take flight with its treasure.
As for how much treasure there is in the Heavenly Dragonâs treasury, you donât even have to ask!
Dragons have a natural longing for pleasure and especially treasure. Even average Dragons living in their residences would have amassed piles of treasure.
As the supreme dragon, the Heavenly Dragon, thereâs no need to say more.
The amount of treasure in there, unfortunately, would probably have to be described in astronomical numbers!
Getting down to business, after making some preparations, Chen Changâan and Shen Xuzi embarked on their journey to find the Heavenly Dragonâs Treasury.
According to Shen Xuzi, the Heavenly Dragonâs Treasury was located in a place called The Void in the Demon World.
The Void, as legend has it, was the place where one of the ten ancient beasts of the Mythical Era, the Cangming Heavenly Dragon, had fallen.
Later, the dragon energy and resentment of the Cangming Heavenly Dragon gathered here, eventually forming this Void after intertwining with one another.
Each breath in the Void contains great horror, making it off-limits to living creatures within millions of miles.
For millions of years, countless people have tried to set foot here, but in the end, without exception, everyone backed off.
However, this trend doesnât include the Heavenly Venerate. Despite the miasma here â evolved from the wrath and dragon energy of the Cangming Heavenly Dragon â it now holds no threat to a Heavenly Venerate after years of erosion.
So Chen Changâan can move freely inside.
"Old man, where is the entrance you mentioned?"
Although free to roam, having spent quite some time within, Chen Changâan had yet to find this so-called Heavenly Dragonâs Treasury.
Just think about it, if the Heavenly Dragonâs treasury was so easily found, then over the innumerable years, everything inside must have been taken by now.
Heavenly Venerates werenât unique to just this era!
"A little further in and we should be there."
Shen Xuzi recalled for a moment, then said.
In truth, he didnât know exactly where the entrance to the Heavenly Dragonâs Treasury was.
He knew about the treasury because during a Mystical Realm opening, he happened to learn about it from someoneâs memories.
That individual was a descendant of the Saint of Thieves, who, through his memory, revealed that their lineage once infiltrated the Heavenly Dragonâs treasury.
However, in the end, they could not withstand the backfiring dragon energy of the Cangming Heavenly Dragon. Not only did they fail to extract any treasure from inside, they were instead cursed due to this event, bringing their lineage to the verge of extinction.
This piece of information is absolutely reliable, Shen Xuzi would stake his reputation on it.
After all, the only one who had come close to stealing his body in all these years was that guy, the Saint of Thieves.
Although the one he encountered was a descendant, his thieving skills were just as noteworthy.
So, there couldnât be a mistake.
"Found it, itâs here!"
Finally, after what seemed like forever, Shen Xuziâs excited voice echoed out.
Following Shen Xuziâs voice, Chen Changâan immediately saw a large gateway appearing before them.
The gate was an ancient bronze one, with scratches all over it. Those scratches didnât seem like they were recently carved but instead seemed ageless.
Because from those scratches, Chen Changâan could feel the breath of time and change.
However, at this point in time, Chen Changâan felt that his IQ had been greatly insulted.
That was because the location of the two ancient bronze gates was too conspicuous.
Standing lonesome on a wide mountain range, exaggeratingly speaking, as long as a mindful person passed by, theyâd be able to spot it.
What was even more absurd was that above the bronze gate, on either side, were two giant words.
On one side, âHeavenly Dragon.â
On the other, âTreasury!â
Then, a ridiculous horizontal plaque was affixed at the top.
âHeavenly Dragonâs Treasury Entrance, Please Enter Here!â
This is... are you afraid people wonât know this is the Heavenly Dragonâs Treasury?
"Old man, are you sure this is the Heavenly Dragonâs Treasury?"
Chen Changâanâs mouth twitched.
He was reminded of someone, someone who had been adapted countless times.
It was a monk, who in one version, would tell everyone about his secret. The secret being that whoever ate his flesh would gain immortality. He would tell anyone!
This situation seemed familiar, both definitely cut from the same cloth!
"Um, boy, I know youâre doubtful, but donât be."
"I am serious when I tell you that this is indeed the Heavenly Dragonâs Treasury."
Shen Xuziâs mouth also twitched, indicating his disbelief that this was the Heavenly Dragonâs Treasury.
However, he was currently baffled to find that, whether from judging the atmosphere or from the memories he recalled, this really was the location of the Heavenly Dragonâs Treasury.
The so-called descendant of the Saint of Thieves, werenât they not scared at all?
"Shall we... go in and have a look?" Shen Xuzi looked at Chen Changâan uncertainly.
"Letâs go."
Although it seemed preposterous, since they were already here, they naturally couldnât just leave without taking a look around.
Thus, Chen Changâan stepped in, entering the Heavenly Dragonâs Treasury.
Hummmm~!
The moment Chen Changâan stepped inside, he immediately noticed something unique about the space.
It seemed to connect to another spacetime, but there was nothing in this one.
Empty, just like the state of the world at the beginning of creation.
"Boy, we might be in trouble, we might have to leave empty-handed."
Seeing this empty void, Shen Xuziâs original high spirits suddenly dampened.
"Old man, go, why?" Chen Changâan asked, not understanding.
"Boy, have you ever heard of a legend?" the kidney-deficient man didnât answer, but asked him a question.
Without waiting for Chen Changâanâs reply, he continued:
"The legend says that the Heavenly Dragonâs Treasury is actually within the inner world of the Cangming Heavenly Dragon."
"I didnât believe this legend before, but seeing this, I have no choice but to believe it."
Then, Shen Xuzi looked around and sighed.
"Boy, you may be unaware of this, but we are now in the inner world of the Cangming Heavenly Dragon."
"Since ancient times, the only way to get into the inner world of the Cangming Heavenly Dragon was by executing the exact same technique as the Cangming Heavenly Dragon, otherwise you can never break in!"
"But nowadays, the Cangming Heavenly Dragon is dead, so this condition is destined to be unachievable by anyone!"
"Those people in the past couldnât do it, and we canât do it now."
"So this time, itâs destined that we will return empty-handed."
"Old man, youâre saying weâre going to return empty-handed? Then, what is this?"
However, just as Shen Xuzi sighed, he saw that Chen Changâan, standing diametrically opposite him, looking at him with a teasing smile.
Hummmm~!
Suddenly, Chen Changâanâs hand began to glow with a hazy light.
It was clearly the Divine Icon Impulse Wave!
"Itâs useless, boy, dragons and elephants have always been natural enemies."
"If you were using a technique inclined towards the Dragon Clan, that would be fine. But using your Divine Icon Impulse directly wonât work...!"
Seeing this, Shen Xuzi started to warn Chen Changâan.
However, the next moment, before he could finish his words.
The unbelievable happened.
Hummmm~!
Suddenly, a ray of light appeared amid the heavens and the earth.
The long-silent Heavenly Dragonâs Treasury, opened!
