Chapter 253 - 188 – Price of the treasure (The third request)
"Palace of Truth?"
Ye Xuan was surprised.
The message transmitted into this head was related to the palace in front of him.
According to the message, this was the Palace of Truth.
The Palace of Truth would become one of the benefits for the true transmission disciple of the Palace of the Ocean Dragons. If he could pa.s.s the trial in the future, it would belong to him.
But for now, he was unable to enter and could only stand in front of the palace.
"Why did you bring me here if I can"t enter?"
Ye Xuan felt helpless.
He stood at the top of the mountain, looking around.
He realized that the group of palaces in front of him were really huge.
He couldn"t even spot the end of it with his eyes.
It was cloudy and misty deep within, making it hard to see what was there.
Only...
This place with a large group of palaces was tranquil.
You couldn"t even spot a single figure.
He couldn"t seem to figure out have all the people in these palaces went.
Beasts from another world could stay alive even after coming into their world.
Even the Ancient Mountain Carrying Turtle who carried the Dragon City in the Sea was still alive, but where were the people in the Dragon City in the sea?
Where were they?
There was not a single one of them.
You could tell just looking at the appearance of this palace.
The people here had been evacuated in an orderly manner.
They had not hurriedly left in a chaotic situation.
Ye Xuan didn"t get it.
While waiting, his mind shook a little. His consciousness was split, and he fell into his own Beast Lair.
In the World of Dragons, what looked like a Silver Tyrannosaurus was lying at the top of a mountain.
It was biting the Black Stone obtained from the island of the Ancient Dragon Crocodile Beast with a face full of joy.
Saliva was even dripping down the corner of its mouth.
Ye Xuan took a glance and stopped looking at it.
This guy was too embarra.s.sing.
But he was pretty curious about that stone.
It felt like it had a great effect on the Tyrannosaurus.
Ye Xuan could sense from the Tyrannosaurus"s mind ripples that this guy was in a perfect mood right now.
It was like the Black Stone could increase the level of its advancement.
If that was the case, it seemed alright to leave it in the Tyrannosaurus" World of Dragons.
Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows, then split his consciousness. He looked at the Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings from the World of Lightning and Thunder and Obscurus from the World of Darkness.
Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings had quietened down by now.
It had turned into a Thunder Minipig and was soaking in the Spiritual Pool of Thunder and Lightning. It looked like it had already fallen asleep.
Ye Xuan thought it wouldn"t take long for this guy to advance to Silver (Peak).
As for Obscurus, after swallowing the Dark Original Elixir, it had just been standing there.
It was all alone as if it was trying to feel something.
But it also looked like it was in a daze at the same time.
But it would definitely be able to advance in three hours.
While thinking about that, Ye Xuan swept his consciousness away from both worlds and left.
After leaving, he immediately looked at the Oceanic White Carp Jiao from the World of Sea.
Right now, the Oceanic White Carp Jiao was lying in the sea eye of the World of Sea.
It had already swallowed seventeen drops of the Oceanic Dragon Essence into its stomach.
Ye Xuan dropped his consciousness onto it.
He could notice that its carp whiskers were trembling.
It looked bizarre.
Too ugly.
This was one of the uglier beasts amongst the beasts he owned.
While thinking about that, Ye Xuan looked at the ordinary points and the gold points that he had now.
He didn"t have too many ordinary points right now.
Only about 7000.
As for gold points, he had 30.
30 gold points weren"t too little. He could exchange for most of the Gold-level evolutionary resources with that number of points.
But Ye Xuan took a glance at the couple of beasts he had. Even after advancing to the Gold-level, the number of evolutionary resources needed for their evolution made him frown.
Most of the required evolutionary resources required to evolve all his beasts were relatively rare.
And since they were rare, it meant that they were precious.
Especially for Heavenly Punishment Thundercloud Wings, the evolutionary resources required to evolve it into a Gold-level five-star Ancient Thunder Metamorphosis Wings were so rare that even looking at it was making Ye Xuan"s teeth hurt.
The next evolution only required two resources.
One of them was the Ancient Rock.
The other was the Law of the Thunderclouds.
Not a lot of items.
But he would need 40 gold points to exchange for each of those items.
As for Evil Fiery Red Luan to evolve, it would need an Evil Nether Stone, a Wis.h.i.+ng Stone, and a Conjugal String.
Out of the three treasures, the Evil Nether Stone was the cheapest. He would only need 8 gold points to exchange for it.
But the other two each cost 35 gold points.
Moving on, the evolutionary resources required to evolve Oceanic White Carp Jiao was one Challenger-level Dragon Crystal Core, one Challenger-level Core of the Sea, and one drip of the Challenger-level True Dragon Blood.
He would only need 6 gold points to exchange for the Dragon Crystal Core among the three treasures.
But the Core of the Sea and the True Dragon Blood would need 35 and 36 gold points, respectively.
As for Tidal Treasure Snail... forget it. He didn"t want to talk about it.
Secret Treasures were all forged through various refining materials.
After they were successfully forged, their value would be even higher than before.
Ye Xuan only took a glance and didn"t want to bother about it anymore.
Next was the Dream Fragments that the Big Dream Sleeping Rock would need.
He would only need 10 gold points to exchange for one fragment, and it didn"t look to be all that expensive.
But the key point was that for the Big Dream Sleeping Rock to evolve, he would need 10 of those Dream Fragments.
This made Ye Xuan feel completely helpless.
What was worse was that though each Dream Fragment wasn"t expensive, when he asked about it at Cerulean Planet, in the end, whether it was Lin s.h.i.+ru or w.a.n.g Tianshan, no one had ever heard of it.
This would also mean that if he didn"t get this item from the trial grounds of the sea world.
When he left this place, it would be hard for him to find this item elsewhere.
He wasn"t even sure that he would be able to find this item inside Xia"s treasure house.
"However, I can"t take any more risks this time around."
"I"ll have to start gaining more experience after resting for three more hours here."
Ye Xuan took a deep breath.
Despite desperately wanting to earn more gold points.
But he also knew that if he went out and gained experience again, there was a chance that he would be surrounded by those Beast Tamers from those clans once again.
Especially since he noticed previously that there were already some Beast Tamers who already owned a Gold-level beast among the Silver Blood Clan.
Beast Tamers, at this level, kept his beasts in check. On top of the help coming from the other group of Beast Tamers, this was indeed very dangerous to him.
"But that will change in three hours."
Ye Xuan exhaled.
In three hours, the Oceanic White Carp Jiao would be promoted to the Gold-level.
When that happened, he would be able to go deep down into the bottom of the sea.
And hunt for monsters in this sea that was twenty miles deep.
He already noticed previously that there were many Beast Tamers here to gain experience this time.
But not many of them owned a sea beast.
With this, when he dived deep down into the bottom of the sea, those people wouldn"t be able to do anything to him even if they knew where he was.
At the same time, when he was deep down inside the sea, he would also fully maximize his Tidal Treasure Snail"s potential.
As for the others, when they dived deep into the sea, it wouldn"t be like on the ground. They wouldn"t be able to spot their target from a twenty-mile distance away easily.
While thinking about that, Ye Xuan was waiting in a corner.
He practiced the Ape and Dragon Honing Fist in front of the palace.
Boom, boom, boom...
With each punch, the air was swirling, and his power seemed to be much stronger than before.
All his beasts were being promoted in this period of time, and he was receiving reverse nurturing. Not only was his mind energy increasing, but his body was also becoming stronger as well.
On top of the fact that based on his Martial Arts Realm from before, he had already reached Dark Iron (Peak).
At this moment, after one round of punching, he could instantly feel the blood and qi in his body rising.
With a loud boom, he had broken through and reached the Bronze level, evolving from Dark Iron (Peak).
"Bronze..."
Ye Xuan stood at the top of the square in front of the palace, and with a flick of his finger, there was suddenly a ray of bronze energy bursting out the tip of his finger.
This ray was the transformation of qi and blood that was happening within him.
"I can"t believe I managed to gain something like this."
Ye Xuan revealed a gentle smile on his face.
Although the Warrior Path was minor to him, it was still a good thing, even if he saw a slight improvement.
...
In the trial grounds of the sea world.
Above the vast sea.
Before Ye Xuan had disappeared and entered the Palace of Truth, the wait for him began.
The Beast Tamers from the Silver Blood Clan and the other clans arrived at the island that Ye Xuan was before.
"Everyone, Ye Xuan has disappeared, and we don"t know if he will come back. For now, let"s all split up."
"If Ye Xuan appears again, we will meet up again at the spot where he first showed himself."
"Alright, since that"s the case, then let"s all split up here. Let"s find a way to hunt for more monsters and gain more points."
Most of the Beast Tamers from the Silver Blood Clan and the other clans felt pretty dispirited after arriving at the island.
So many of them surrounded Ye Xuan to kill him, but in the end, not only did they fail to kill Ye Xuan, but they allowed Ye Xuan to kill so many of their people and even let him escape. This was a pretty huge blow for them to handle.
"Right, when we were trying to find Ye Xuan to kill him, we wasted too much time. Many of our people here have yet even to complete their trial mission."
"If all of us here complete our trial and have a life-saving card at the bottom of our deck, even if we crashed head-on against Ye Xuan, there would be no need for us to be too worried."
At this moment, a lot of them were filled with much regret.
They regretted the fact that they were in too much of a hurry.
If they weren"t in that much of a hurry this time and instead tried to complete their individual experience gaining missions first, then there would be no need for so many of them to die.
"Eh?"
And while they were saying all that, someone"s heart suddenly shook a little.
Looking towards a slope at this island.
On top of that slope, there were more than twenty silver-level Fierce Sea Dragon Crocodile Beasts
gathering together.
Every single one of them was either lying forward or backward.
They all looked very weak.
As if all the energy in their bodies had already been drained.
But one look and they could tell that all these Ferocious Sea Crocodile Dragons were still alive.
"What"s going on here? Don"t tell me that Ye Xuan didn"t have the time to kill them because he spotted us rus.h.i.+ng towards him?"
Looking at all these Ferocious Sea Crocodile Dragons, some of the people"s eyes instantly lit up.
These guys were all silver-level monsters.
If they killed all of them, they would instantly earn a bunch of points.
