Once he realized that he could only pick two treasures from the dozen in the treasure room, Yuan proceeded to look at every single treasure carefully before making a decision.
"Oh? This looks like..." Yuan narrowed his eye when he saw a glass bottle that contained a single drop of blood inside.
[Description: A priceless treasure that will increase one’s lifespan by 100,000 years and has the ability to awaken one’s bloodline.]
As he’d expected, it was dragon blood. However, Yuan wasn’t very excited about this drop of blood that would start a war in the cultivation world if known, and it was mostly because of the Dragon Ancestor’s Blood Essence that’s already in his possession.
Not only was the Dragon Ancestor’s Blood Essence much more powerful than this ordinary blood, but he has also already awakened his bloodline, so unless he really wanted that 100,000 years of longevity on top of the 50,000 longevity he’d obtained from Feng Yuxiang’s blood, this dragon blood was essentially useless to him.
Thus, after spending a few seconds on the dragon blood, Yuan moved onto the next treasure, which appeared to be a semi-transparent cloak.
[Invisible Dragon Cloak]
[Mental Strength required: 200,000]
[Soul Strength required: 200,000]
[Description: A powerful cloak that turns completely invisible when worn. Increases base physical defenses by 100%. Negates all physical damage from Cultivators below Spirit King. Deflects all physical damage from treasures below Ancient-grade.]
"Oh, this is a very good treasure... As long as I have this, I don’t have to worry about getting hit by physical attacks..." Yuan mumbled to himself, putting this Invisible Dragon Cloak at the top of his list.
The next treasure displayed was a single scale.
[Ancient Dragon Scale]
[Description: A near-indestructible material that can be used to forge or refine Ancient-grade treasures.]
Next in line was a cultivation technique that Yuan was very familiar with.
[Description: A technique created by the ’Great One’. A single gaze will cause Immortals to bow and the Heavens to tremble in fear! Used by Royal Families of the Dragon Race.]
"Dragon’s Gaze? I would’ve probably picked this if I didn’t already know it..." Yuan sighed.
The next treasure was also a cultivation technique.
[Relentless Dragon Overwhelms the Nine Heavens]
[Description: A single fist to shatter the stars, another to rule the heavens. Consumes half of your overall spiritual energy to unleash a heaven-destroying attack with your fists.]
"What a powerful-sounding technique... Kind of reminds me of Feng Yuxiang’s movement technique. It might come in handy when I cannot use my treasures." Yuan mumbled to himself.
He has already encountered multiple situations where he is restricted to using his fists, and he cannot rely on his weapons forever, so getting a fist technique might help him in the future.
The other treasures in the room were weapons and armors, but compared to the Invisible Dragon Cloak, they weren’t too impressive, and Yuan wasn’t in need of weapons or armors.
"Okay, I have decided. I am going to take the Invisible Dragon Cloak and the Relentless Dragon Overwhelms the Nine Heavens technique!"
[Would you like to use 1x Dragon Temple Treasure Key to open the display case?]
[A Dragon Temple Treasure Key has been consumed]
After opening the display case that contained the Invisible Dragon Cloak, Yuan immediately wore it on his body like a cape.
[Due to the Invisible Dragon Cloak, your Physical Defense has increased by 100%!]
[Physical Defense: 467,420]
The cloak disappeared the moment Yuan wore it, almost like it no longer exists. However, Yuan could still feel its presence as the owner of the treasure.
After wearing the cloak, Yuan went to open the second display case.
[Would you like to use 1x Dragon Temple Treasure Key to open the display case?]
[A Dragon Temple Treasure Key has been consumed]
Yuan picked up the scroll that had been sitting inside the display case for god-knows-how-long and immediately stored it inside his spatial ring.
"What should I do now? I reached the limit of trials I can do, I have received the Great One’s Legacy, and I even went to the treasure room. There’s literally nothing left for me to do in here, and I still have a couple of days left in this place. Can I leave this place before the time limit?"
Yuan was already prepared to leave the Dragon Temple, but he wasn’t too hasty and wanted to make sure that he wasn’t missing anything in the treasure room.
Thus, he began looking around the place again, searching every nook and cranny with the Dragon’s Gaze activated.
When he was satisfied, Yuan shouted out loud, "Great One! Can you hear me?! I would like to leave the Dragon Temple!"
A few moments of silence later, a profound voice suddenly resounded in the treasure room.
"Are you sure? Once you leave, you won’t be able to return."
"Yes, I am sure. I have already done everything here." Yuan said.
A greyish cloud suddenly appeared in the air a few meters away from Yuan before transforming into an eye.
"So you have received my Legacy." The Great One could immediately tell at glance.
"And you even reached the treasure room that hasn’t been opened since I created this place... Not bad... but not unexpected."
"I can take you outside if you wish, but before you leave, tell me one thing." The Great One said.
And it continued, "What do you plan on doing after you leave this place?"
"I don’t really know. I guess I’ll explore the Lower Heavens some more with my friends before I decide to challenge the Stairway to Heaven."
The Great One didn’t say anything else, and its eye suddenly flickered with a profound light.
Before he’d even realized, Yuan had been teleported outside the Dragon Temple, returning to the Dragon Fissure at the Dragon Essence Temple.
A surprised voice called out to him, causing him to turn around, and when he realized her identity, he mumbled in a low voice, "Senior Song?"
