Chapter 158 A Bountiful Harvest of Treasures
"Great Lord of Lotus, congratulations on successfully acknowledging Lotus Ancient City as your master!"
"Boom!"
A deafening roar filled the air, and the entire ancient city seemed poised to collapse in an instant.
At this time, only those who had reached the Invincible King level and some at the peak of the King level remained in the ancient city. Those who had reached the limit of the King level and made it to the next three levels basically chose to leave the ancient city directly and continue to wait there. The top-level treasures that appeared were not something they could snatch.
Those who have reached the Invincible King level want to wait until the end of an era to see if new treasure trials will appear in the last three levels, while those at the peak of the King level want to challenge the treasure trials in the middle six levels.
With Gu Ce's successful recognition of Lianhua Ancient City as its master, the kings who were still staying in Lianhua Ancient City were directly teleported to the outside world.
"What happened?"
"We were kicked out of the Lotus Flower Ancient City?"
"How is that possible? The Lotus City existed on this continent before the sixth battlefield was formed. How could it be causing unusual activity now?"
"My prized possession! Just a little short..."
"hateful!"
Outside, many who were granted the title of "King" were filled with doubt and anger.
Among them were many of Gu Ce's acquaintances, such as the Blackwater King, the Gu Heart King, and the Power-Attracting King.
They were all expelled from the ancient city. From this day forward, the Lotus Flower Ancient City is Gu Ce's private property! Including the treasures, the most precious treasures, and all kinds of heirlooms within, they all belong exclusively to Gu Ce.
Only those with invincible combat power worthy of being crowned kings are qualified to undergo the test of recognizing the Lotus Ancient City as their master; failure in the test means death.
Throughout countless ages, there have been those who chose to accept the test, but without exception, they all failed.
Even if the strongest being in the universe came here, they wouldn't be able to forcibly take away the Lotus City!
This place has also been regarded as a special place by various races in the universe, similar to the Star Tower.
Now that such a huge change has occurred here, these kings have all taken it seriously and contacted the strongmen in their respective clans, asking them to come and find out what's going on.
……
"Owner."
A small figure appeared in front of Gu Ce. It was a petite loli with an elf-like appearance, transparent wings growing on her back, a pink lotus flower on her head, fair skin, and delicate hands and feet. She looked very cute and well-behaved.
"Who are you?" Gu Ce recognized her voice; she was the owner of the voice he had just heard.
"I am a sentient being born in this Lotus Flower Ancient City. You can also consider me an intelligent life form," the little girl said. "My name is Lian. You are now the master of Lotus Flower Ancient City, which means you are my master."
Gu Ce nodded slightly.
"The Lotus City has 18 levels. The first nine levels correspond to the Immortal level, levels 10-12 correspond to the Universe Venerable, levels 13-15 correspond to the Universe Lord, levels 16-18 correspond to the strongest in the universe, and level 18 is your residence, Master," Lian said.
"Now, I'll take you to see the treasure trove of the Lotus Flower Ancient City."
As Lian finished speaking, she and Gu Ce were instantly transported to a completely new space.
"This is the 16th floor of the Lotus Flower Ancient City. The Lotus Flower Clan's treasure trove was originally located here," Lian explained. "The treasures, heirlooms, and other valuable items that appeared on the first nine floors were all selected from here and placed on the first nine floors."
Lian led Gu Ce into the treasure vault, which was divided into two parts. Lian first led Gu Ce to the area where the most precious treasures were located.
This area is divided into five levels, corresponding to ordinary treasures to supreme treasures.
"Back then, the Lotus Clan faced the crisis of extinction, so all those top-tier and supreme treasures were taken away by the universe lords within the clan—of course, in the end, the Lotus Clan was still wiped out, and those treasures were lost in the outside world. Only some ordinary and high-level treasures remain here," Lian explained.
Gu Ce nodded slightly.
Even though most of the treasures were lost, there were still dozens of treasures that came before Gu Ce.
Of course, even if all these treasures were added together, they might not be comparable to a single top-tier treasure.
There are 6 high-grade treasures left.
Gu Ce immediately took a liking to one of the heavy swords.
"That's the Five-Evolution Savage Sword, a high-grade melee treasure," Lian said, following Gu Ce's gaze.
Gu Ce immediately stepped forward and grabbed the greatsword!
The thick blade shrank according to Gu Ce's will, becoming the size that fit Gu Ce's body.
Having comprehended the five lower laws of space, Gu Ce is a perfect match for this 'Five Evolutions Savage Sword'!
Almost instantly upon receiving it, it successfully became Gu Ce's owner. Without much hindrance, Gu Ce was able to use this treasure in battle, and his combat power increased dramatically, by more than ten times!
Gu Ce decided to give this sword to his true self, and with his true self's explosive power, it might be able to kill a Universe Venerable.
"Congratulations, Master!" Lian congratulated him expressionlessly from the side.
Gu Ce smirked, ignoring her gaze and instead looking at the remaining high-grade treasures.
Of these six high-level treasures, five are the least valuable melee-type high-level treasures.
Apart from the Five-Evolution Savage Sword that Gu Ce took away, there are four other weapons: an axe, a spear, a scimitar, and a short sword.
Gu Ce accepted them all. Even if he didn't use them himself, he could exchange them with his clan for other treasures or give them to others.
It seems that Venerable Lansong uses an axe?
Shaking his head, Gu Ce looked at the last high-grade treasure.
That was a high-grade treasure of the domain, the Ten Directions Lotus Sea.
"This domain-type treasure was used by the Lotus Goddess during her time as a Universe Lord. Because it held some commemorative significance, it was left here and was not used in battle by other Universe Lords," Lian said.
The Ten Directions Lotus Sea, as a high-grade treasure of the domain category, is probably no less valuable than several top-tier melee treasures.
This level of treasure is enough to attract even the Lord of the Universe to fight for it!
With this treasure, Gu Ce can even bind universe overlords. Some weak universe lords will be affected by the domain of the Ten Directions Lotus Sea and bound within it. The Ten Directions Lotus Sea itself is enough to kill a King-level invincible being. Some weak universe venerables will flee when they see Gu Ce.
This also signifies that Gu Ce's clone has officially possessed the combat power of a Universe Venerable!
The Ten Directions Lotus Sea is a perfect match for the Star Flow Sea clone, since they are both seas.
When the time comes to hand over the Five Evolutions Wild Sword to the original body, Gu Ce will possess the combat power of two Universe Venerables, and neither of them will be the weakest. They will even be stronger than those who have just broken through to the Universe Venerable realm.
Keep in mind that Gu Ce is only a minor realm lord!
There is still a lot of room for improvement in our strength!
Laws, secret techniques... Gu Ce hasn't yet reached the pinnacle of these things at the World Lord level.
