Chapter 504 Ashen PaG.o.da


Black Dragon City occupied a vast area. Apart from the transaction grounds, most of the places were cave abodes.


The Supremacy-level cave abode only spanned half a kilometer. To cultivators, it was considered very small. They had to hold back when cultivating in the cave abode. However, it was absolutely safe. This was Patriarch Black Dragon’s guarantee.


“After refining the cave abode talisman token, you will be the owner of this cave abode. The cave abode will be absolutely safe. Furthermore, the array formation is stable. Attacks below the Tribulation realm will not damage the cave abode at all,” said the female attendant with a smile.


Meng Chuan held the talisman token and looked at the cave abode in front of him. This was because the refinement talisman token allowed him to control the cave abode easily.


“Leave,” instructed Meng Chuan as he nodded once.


“Yes.” The female attendant bowed and left the cave abode before closing the door carefully.


Apart from being stable, there’s nothing special about it. They haven’t opened up the s.p.a.ce inside. This Black Dragon Planet owner sure is thrifty.


The cave abode was only half a kilometer wide. If he wanted to practice his techniques, he had to be careful not to cross the boundary.


“This is the first time I’m living in a cave abode on Black Dragon Planet.” Supremacy Qing Gu looked around the cave abode excitedly.


“Choose any room in the front yard,” instructed Meng Chuan as he headed towards the inner courtyard.


Suddenly


Knock! Knock! Knock!


Someone knocked on the door. “Oh?” Meng Chuan was surprised.


Supremacy Qing Gu was puzzled. “We just moved in. Why is someone visiting us?”


“Qing Gu, open the door,” instructed Meng Chuan.


“Yes.” Supremacy Qing Gu immediately stepped forward and opened the door.


A handsome young man stood outside the cave abode. Meng Chuan could tell at a glance that he was just a puppet attendant. The puppet attendant’s clothes had the Black Dragon Palace’s symbol, indicating that he represented Black Dragon Palace.


Supremacy Qing Gu was very casual when facing a puppet attendant. “We just came from Black Dragon Palace. Why are you here?” “Supremacies,” said the man with a respectful smile, “Black Dragon Palace has many branches. I’m from Black Dragon Palace’s Treasure Auction branch. According to Black Dragon Palace’s rules, they will send a Treasure Catalog to all Black Dragon City cave abodes owners at the beginning of the year. It’s already the middle of the year. Having learned that you just settled down, we immediately sent over this year’s Treasure Catalog. The Treasure Auction will be held at the end of this year. All treasures recorded in the Treasure Catalog will be publicly auctioned. This will be Black Dragon Planet’s liveliest time of the year. Many cultivators will come from all over.”


Supremacy Qing Gu extended his hand and took the Treasure Catalog.


“I’ll take my leave.” The man smiled and left.


“Brother Eastcalm, Black Dragon Palace takes the initiative to give Black Dragon City cave abode owners a copy of the Treasure Catalog. Ordinary cultivators like me will have to spend Outer Realm Essence Stones just to read it,” said Supremacy Qing Gu as he handed it to Meng Chuan.


Meng Chuan reached out to receive it.


Those who could rent cave abodes were not ordinary cultivators. This was because even Heaven Earth realm cultivators had to grit their teeth before they were willing to pay the ten-year rent. They wouldn’t dare to rent the cave abodes for extended periods.


Being a cave abode owner represented one’s wealth.


Treasure Catalog. Meng Chuan flipped through the pages and walked towards the inner courtyard. There was a backyard in the inner courtyard. It was rather elegant.


Meng Chuan sat by the pool and flipped through the Treasure Catalog.


Only Black Dragon Palace has the right to hold the Treasure Auction in Heaven Peak River System. Other factions are forbidden from holding it. Even Eternal Tower will give in. Meng Chuan understood that Patriarch Black Dragon was Heaven Peak River System’s strongest expert. Black Dragon Planet was his. He was the local honcho. Eternal Tower naturally had to give in to him.


Every year, over 100 treasures are sold at the Treasure Auction. They are all good treasures. The starting prices are quite high. Meng Chuan read the introductions to each of the items listed in the Treasure Catalog. The items that could be listed within were all extraordinary. Every single item was expensive and rare. A Life Subst.i.tute Talisman didn’t even have the right to be sold at the Treasure Auction.


Altogether, 38 Tribulation treasures, 19 single-used talismans and amulets, 22 precious materials, nine rare flowers and fruits, and 23 rare treasures were being sold this time. Meng Chuan looked at the items’ prices. The lowest starting price was ten cubes of Outer Realm Essence Crystals. Ordinary Fourth Tribulation treasures were worth this price. Furthermore, this was only the starting price of these treasures.


Meng Chuan flipped through the Treasure Catalog and was astonished.


Undying Talisman: After using it, one will gain an undying body until the talisman’s strength is exhausted (it can be maintained for about two hours). A Seventh Tribulation Eminence can crack this talisman. It cannot be used to transcend Essence Soul Tribulations or Physical Body Tribulations. The starting price is ten cubes of Outer Realm Essence Crystals.


Meng Chuan shook his head slightly after reading the introduction. It’s useless.One may gain an Undying body for two hours, but the enemy can trap them for that duration. Once the talisman’s strength is exhausted, the enemy will be able to kill the user. It’s much less useful than a Void Transference Talisman. However, it can be used when probing perilous zones. It can also be used for special purposes.


The Undying Talisman was an evolved version of the Life Subst.i.tute Talisman. In those two hours, no matter how the enemy attacked, one would be instantly restored to their peak state even if they were reduced to dust instantly. This was a high-level application of the time lineage. It looked useless, but it had surprising effects when used in suitable situations.


Lightning Five-Colored Flower: After consumption, one-who has reached the Heaven Earth Realm with the lightning lineage


—will turn into the lightning beast, Xiao. Their lives will be completely changed. As a Heaven Earth realm cultivator, one’s lightning beast body will mature slowly. As time pa.s.ses, one’s lightning beast body will eventually have the strength of a perfected Imperial Lord. Starting price: 300 cubes of Outer Realm Essence Crystals.


The price of this treasure was much higher. This was meant for cultivators who had reached high technique realms, but their Essence Souls were stuck at the sixth level, preventing them from becoming Imperial Lords. After consuming the flower, although they would become a lightning beast, they would become an Imperial Lord-level special lifeform. Their lifespans and strength would increase greatly. However, it cost 300 cubes of Outer Realm Essence Crystals. This price was enough to make many Imperial Lords’ hearts tremble. Some Imperial Lords couldn’t even afford it.


If Meng Chuan hadn’t obtained the treasures left behind by Senior Pang Ming, he wouldn’t have been able to afford it.


Meng Chuan looked at the treasures that he coveted.


When he flipped to another page, Meng Chuan’s pupils constricted.


Ashen PaG.o.da: A cultivation cave abode. Time can be accelerated within the cave abode. When ordinary Supremacies cultivate in it, the Ashen PaG.o.da’s time flow will be sped up by thirty-fold. This can be maintained for long periods of time. When ordinary Imperial Lords cultivate within it, the Ashen PaG.o.da can maintain a ten-fold acceleration of time.


A Tribulation Eminence can also cultivate in it. The higher one’s Tribulation realm, the lower the Ashen PaG.o.da’s time acceleration. The Ashen PaG.o.da can normally maintain a two-fold speed-up on time when Fourth Tribulation Eminences cultivate within it. It’s useless on Fifth Tribulation Eminences. If too many cultivators or powerful special lifeforms are in the Ashen PaG.o.da, the temporal acceleration’s effects will decrease.


The Ashen PaG.o.da will be affected by the worldly laws when one is in an inhabited world. This will prevent the Ashen PaG.o.da’s effects from taking place.


Sixth Tribulation treasure. Starting price: 300 Outer Realm Essence Crystals.


Meng Chuan stared at the page solemnly.


Worldly laws suppressed worlds that supported life. Due to this, the environment was milder and more suitable for weaker organisms to live in.


Many rare treasures could not grow in worlds that support life. Some treasures were unable to be used in them as well. Tribulation Eminences could only break through while cultivating in the outer realm. One could also only cultivate to the Supremacy realm or the Imperial Lord realm in low-level worlds and middle-level worlds respectively. This was the worldly laws’ suppression.


One would not be suppressed by the worldly laws in the outer realm. This allowed one to go far on the cultivation road. All sorts of miracles could be witnessed in the outer realm.


Ashen PaG.o.da. Meng Chuan’s eyes burned. Meng Chuan knew that top Tribulation Eminences had very refined control over time. The Undying Talisman and Life Subst.i.tute Talismans were results of a high-level application of the time lineage. It wasn’t very difficult for top Tribulation Eminences to refine a cave abode that could constantly maintain an accelerated time flow.


Time is very important to me, and especially for Supremacies. I have to grow as soon as possible. Meng Chuan looked at the treasure’s introduction. I have to obtain Ashen PaG.o.da if possible.


On Black Dragon Planet, a Sixth Tribulation treasure transaction happened in places like Eternal Tower and Black Dragon Palace’s Treasure Auction. After all, it was very common for a Sixth Tribulation treasure transaction to occur in these two places. It was also very safe because they cared about their reputations.


However, Seventh Tribulation treasures were another beast…


Not even a single Seventh Tribulation treasure was listed in the Treasure Catalog!


With Meng Chuan’s current strength, he didn’t dare take out his Seventh Tribulation Treasure on Black Dragon Planet.


The Ashen PaG.o.da is too expensive. Perhaps I can look again and see if I can find a cheaper temporal cave abode. The Treasure Auction is at the end of the year. There are still five months left. There’s plenty of time.
