Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 4080 Endless Treasure Lands

chapter 4080 endless treasure lands

unaware that a terrifying opponent had set his sights on him, long chen soared through the sky aimlessly with everyone.

their battle with the ninth elder had bolstered their confidence. within the expanse of the nirvana overflow heaven, only when you could fight against heaven venerates could you travel safely.

besides that, having uncle tree’s protection made them fearless even in a place teeming with heaven venerates like the nirvana overflow heaven. long chen also felt rejoiced to have coincidentally stumbled upon uncle tree. otherwise, taking a single step inside the nirvana overflow heaven would be challenging.

through this battle, guo ran and xia chen were in a rush to remake the runes of guo ran’s armor. his armor needed to be upgraded, or the power of the dragonblood warriors would cause it to explode.

as for long chen, he was starting to feel anxious. he wanted to increase his cultivation base, so his power would once more soar. but the dragon expert didn’t let him. it just told him to wait and train in the dragon soul body forging art.

today, long chen and the others arrived in an ancient human city. this was the biggest city that he had found in their three days of travel.

here, long chen finally found the huayun trading company. after showing his status plate, they were all warmly welcomed.

under the protection of the huayun trading company, they could rest for a while. just as long chen expected, in the nirvana overflow heaven, all the major forces were essentially led by heaven venerates.

an earth venerate, even a three-flower one, was unable to maintain order in this place. likewise, the huayun trading company’s overseer here was also a heaven venerate.

however, to their surprise, he didn’t have any of the air of a heaven venerate. he was both pale and plump, looking just like a rich family’s leader, but he was very humble and polite.

long chen had essentially found a safe resting spot here, so from here, long chen started to investigate the nirvana overflow heaven.

there really was nothing for long chen to complain about when it came to the huayun trading company. in a bit, they provided him with all their information on the nirvana overflow heaven.

when long chen flipped through this information, he couldn’t help sucking in a cold gasp of air. the distribution and relationships of the powers in the nirvana overflow heaven were even more complicated than he had expected.

in this place, the human race was a minority, so it was difficult for them to survive in this place.

as for the ones that were already occupied, they were comparatively safer. but of course, anyone who could occupy such a territory had to have immense power and had to maintain their top condition at all times.

as soon as any power declined, there was no need for anyone to attack them. they would immediately retreat to avoid being targeted.

in the nirvana overflow heaven, major forces could be replaced with new powers very quickly. one power might soar like a shooting star and could also be destroyed overnight. a power with hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years of history, was not impervious. even such major powers had to be wary of being wiped out.

the treasure lands that those powers occupied were sometimes of little interest. they refused to give them up though, feeling like it would be a pity.

hence, there were many treasure lands with plenty of treasures, but they could only be seen, not taken. anyone who made the attempt to do so would die.

throughout history, it was unknown just how many major powers had taken the gamble to try taking a treasure, only to suffer such hideous losses that they were forced to retreat. their enemies then took advantage of their losses to wipe them out. in the end, not only did they lose their treasure land, but they also lost their lives.

thus, these treasure lands were a double-sided blade. if managed properly, they were good things. if not, they led to calamity.

some sects would send groups of people into treasure lands every year, but it was always limited in scope. every time, the worst-case scenario was always considered. even if all those people died inside, it wouldn’t affect the sect’s overall power.

some sects would even publicly invite outsiders who were unafraid of death to go through their treasure lands.

if they could leave alive, then they simply needed to split a portion of whatever treasures they obtained inside. however, oftentimes, anyone who brought out any real treasures simply vanished after coming out...

in any case, treasure lands were a great deal of trouble to look after. it was like a cat standing guard over a large fish. the cat wanted to eat the fish, but it didn’t have the teeth to do so.

the worrisome thing was that they had to guard against other greedy forces, as well as others who managed to consume their fish and evolve to a new level. those stronger forces might then devour them.

thus, the nirvana overflow heaven was a cruel world filled with dangers. every lifeform was standing on edge, as if death would come for them at any moment.

“damn, there are so many treasure lands! mo nian has probably long since gotten to work!”

when he read this, a face with a wretched smile instantly appeared in long chen’s mind.
