Chapter 344: Chapter 320: Collect! Collect! Collect
SIZZLE!
Wherever his gaze swept, the darkness vanished, and the entire hall became as bright as day. All kinds of Arrays, seals, and Restrictions appeared clearly before his eyes, no longer hidden in the slightest.
This was just like a common scene from the movies. Inside a treasure vault, countless infrared sensors are laid out. If someone were to touch these beams, which are invisible to the naked eye, the defense system would be triggered. But if an intruder put on special goggles, they would be able to see the countless beams and find a way to bypass them without setting off any alarms.
Nie Yun was in that exact situation. Normally, the Arrays, seals, and Restrictions were formless; not even Spiritual Power could sense them, let alone the naked eye. But now, under the gaze of his Celestial Eye, the formless had become tangible. Every detail was laid bare, with nowhere left to hide!
’Haha, as expected of a top-ten talent! It really is terrifyingly powerful. With this, all these so-called Arrays and Restrictions are useless. My Qi Sea happens to be completely empty, so I’ll just use these treasures to fill it up!’
With a triumphant cry, Nie Yun threw all caution to the wind. With a sweep of his hand, he grabbed several bottles of Elixirs from a shelf.
Previously, he hadn’t known what kind of Restrictions were on the shelves and had been too afraid to touch anything. But now, with his Celestial Eye, he could see the Restrictions. As long as he avoided them, he could turn the entire Treasure Vault upside down without any issues!
’Devour!’
A quick inspection told him these bottles of Elixirs were excellent for increasing True Qi. Without hesitating, he swallowed them all like a whale drinking the sea.
Each of these Elixirs was incredibly precious; a normal person would need several months to digest a single one. Swallowing several hundred at once like he did would have caused even a Secret Realm Powerhouse to explode. But Nie Yun’s Qi Sea was simply too vast. After he downed all the Elixirs, there was still barely any effect. Forget filling up with True Qi, it hadn’t even wet the bottom!
"Snowflake Qi Enhancement Pill!"
"Primordial Essence Spirit Liquid!"
"Celestial Secret Replenishing Qi Pill!"
"Creation Spiritual Power Pill!"
...
Nie Yun snatched bottle after bottle of Elixirs from the shelves, downing them one after another. As the density of his True Qi increased, he grabbed and swallowed them faster and faster!
In less than an hour, he had devoured every last elixir in the Treasure Vault that could increase True Qi. Despite all that, his Qi Sea was only half-full, still a long way from being completely saturated.
’Now that the True Qi elixirs are gone, these Spirit Stones, weapons, and Medicinal Materials will do just fine. Store, store, store!’
With an excited shout in his heart, the dense True Qi in his body formed dozens of arms that grabbed fiercely at the shelves of the Treasure Vault!
With each grab, several weapons and a few Spirit Stones fell into his Storage Dantian.
Nie Yun also discovered that as his Qi Sea grew, his Dantians expanded along with it—especially his Storage Dantian, whose capacity was now even greater!
Previously, after looting the Zi Qiong Mountain Range, it had been nearly full. But now, all of his new acquisitions barely took up any space at all.
CLATTER!
After grabbing things continuously for several hours, Nie Yun did a quick mental calculation and realized dawn was about to break. He reluctantly stopped, feeling that he wasn’t done yet.
Although he was much slower than when he’d looted the treasure vault in the Zi Qiong Mountain Range, since he had to be careful to avoid the Restrictions, he had still managed to clear out most of the Divine Holy Empire’s Treasure Vault after several hours of nonstop work.
’Alright, I suppose I can leave a little something for them to remember me by. I can always come back to steal more later!’
Laughing to himself, Nie Yun opened his Celestial Eye and scanned the entire room for a moment, finally finding a gap.
Seals and Arrays are a lot like fishing nets. No matter how tight they are, there are bound to be gaps. The only problem is that Arrays are formless, making those gaps impossible to spot without the Celestial Eye!
Under the light of Nie Yun’s Celestial Eye, the layers of Restrictions outside the hall were revealed, and he quickly found a gap. However, the gap was only the size of a basketball, far too small for a normal person to squeeze through.
’Hehe, this is the spot. Disguise Qi... transform me into a baby!’
A normal person couldn’t pass through, but that was no obstacle for a Disguise Master. Disguise Masters could transform into people of completely different heights and weights, so turning into a baby was incredibly simple.
WHOOSH!
Now a baby, Nie Yun slipped through the gap in the Restriction and flew outside the Treasure Vault.
’It’s not completely light out yet. I should hurry and go, or it’ll be difficult to leave once day breaks!’
Although Nie Yun’s own concealment methods were good, he didn’t have a special talent like a Concealment Master or an Assassin Master that allowed him to become truly invisible. If he were to be discovered in the Imperial Palace during the day, he’d have a very hard time talking his way out of it.
SWOOSH!
As these thoughts crossed his mind, he didn’t slow down at all. He was back in his residence at Di Lin Villa before the sky had fully brightened.
Back at his residence, Nie Yun began to take stock of the night’s gains.
The Celestial Eye Talent went without saying. As a supreme talent ranked in the top ten, its power was by no means limited to just seeing through formless Arrays.
’Fifteen Dantians, and my bloodline has advanced to the Spirit Level. Although my True Qi Power hasn’t increased—it’s still around the strength of 6,000 elephants—my overall combat strength has more than doubled! Before, it would’ve taken some effort to kill someone like Huangg Ling. Now, I could crush him with a single finger!’
Having dense True Qi was like increasing the wattage of a power generator. Even if the voltage it could put out was the same, the amperage would be completely different!
If a single strike of Momentum of the Earth could previously unleash one unit of True Qi, that same strike could now unleash ten units! There was no comparison.
’It’s a shame this Treasure Vault didn’t have many Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, only ten or so. With so few, the Demon Saint Ancient Corpse can at most exert ten percent of its former combat strength, and only for a single use!’
Nie Yun shook his head as he tallied up the Mid-Grade Spirit Stones he had taken from the Treasure Vault.
If he could find enough Spirit Stones, and the Demon Saint Ancient Corpse could unleash one hundred percent of its combat strength, it could turn even a coalition of the Qi Sea Continent’s mightiest Secret Realm Powerhouses into ash with a single punch!
Unfortunately, without that many Spirit Stones, such a "beautiful wish" was simply impossible to realize.
’I still have a lot of True Qi-enhancing elixirs left over from the Zi Qiong Mountain Range. I might as well swallow them all. Maybe that will be enough to finally fill my Qi Sea completely!’
After finishing his inventory of the day’s haul, Nie Yun shook his head and once again took out the treasures he had obtained from the Zi Qiong Mountain Range.
For him, the most important thing right now was to fill his vast Qi Sea. No other treasure was as important.
CLATTER!
He had already given a good portion of the True Qi cultivation elixirs from the Zi Qiong Mountain Range to his parents, Baihua Xiu, and others, but there were still several baskets left. Opening his mouth wide, all the remaining elixirs formed a straight, tumbling line that flew directly inside.
RUMBLE!
As the Elixirs underwent continuous Refinement, Nie Yun’s once-empty Qi Sea began to fill. Qi Force rippled like monstrous, surging waves, and his strength grew ever stronger! (To be continued.
