Aspiring to the Immortal Path-Chapter 1108: Treasury (2)

Tang Jie was very happy.

Anyone would feel the same if they were freely plundering someone else's treasury.

Strictly speaking, Nirvana didn't have many treasures. Most of them were low-level treasures there for appearance. This was understandable, given that the Nether Domain was a barren land where one might have to scavenge hundreds of kilometers of land to find a single needle, let alone treasure. This was why Nirvana's nearly ten thousand years of collecting were only enough to fill a small room, and why much of the collection was unimpressive.

But from another perspective, these items were extremely valuable.

Even the most desolate of lands could produce pearls. For example, while things like Spirit Communion Grass and Death God weapons were produced in very low quantity here, they were essentially nonexistent elsewhere. In the mortal plane, their value would be even more outrageous.

Putting aside the art relics, the resources were all rare resources worth plenty.

Bonewax, Shadow Soul Pearls, Grudge Soil, Bloodsucking Spirit… any one of these could command an astronomical price in the mortal plane, and they were all sitting there for Tang Jie alone to take. All those formations in his head that he had lacked materials to make began to come to mind, and he began to daydream on how he was about to use his newfound fortune. In just a few short moments, he had already gained materials to make several dozen ghost-based formations, with more than a hundred formation combinations, including top-class formations that could link to the underworld and summon a horde of ghosts.

Put simply, he could create his own Nine Nethers Feast.

Alas, these formations were too vicious, and unless it was absolutely necessary, these formations could only exist as drafts in his mind.

Other than ghost formations, he could also create medicines that could heal or protect the soul, which were rather rare in the mortal plane.

While doing his calculations, he had picked the shelves clean.

He chuckled, "He's still holding it in."

He had thought that taking the treasures would provoke Nirvana and save him the effort of looking for him, so he had taken it slow. To his surprise and his regret, Nirvana had managed to endure.

Worst of all was that he hadn't found any Heavenly Mandate Grass.

Sighing over his luck, Tang Jie prepared to leave.

But then he stopped, thinking of something.

The treasury was empty, and he sensed no other traps.

But he still felt like something wasn't right.

He looked at one of the walls, his eyes gleaming. "Interesting… I didn't expect such a primitive arrangement."

He thrust out a palm and struck the wall, which shattered to reveal a dark passage.

Yes, this treasury had a secret passage, but this passage had not been hidden by any spell arts or mechanisms, simply concealed by some construction.

A cultivator's inspection normally focused on spell art traces and spiritual energy pulses. But this meant they easily missed things that were not concealed by mechanisms or spell arts.

Tang Jie had been a cultivator for a long time, and he no longer used the ways of mortals, so in his moment of carelessness, Nirvana had almost fooled him. Fortunately, he had ultimately realized that something was wrong and found something suspicious.

As his palm shattered the wall, he laughed and entered the secret passage. "Let's see how much more you can endure."

The second treasure chamber was much smaller. It had only a small altar on which several items were placed:

One stalk of blue grass with a ghost face on it, a yellow bottle, and a giant mummified toad.

Tang Jie immediately turned to the grass.

"Heavenly Mandate Grass!" Tang Jie gleefully said as he lunged at it.

Nirvana truly had possessed Heavenly Mandate Grass, which meant Wang Posha could be saved.

As he grabbed the grass, a roar of fury came from the depths of the Nether God palace.

As the roar resounded through the palace, the three Nether Emperors trembled in fear while Nether God Eternal Night rejoiced. Through this roar, he could tell that Nirvana truly was severely injured. It wasn't a fatal wound, but it was enough to greatly weaken him.

Tang Jie ignored it, calling, "Tang Chuan!"

Tang Chuan appeared.

Tang Jie gave him the Heavenly Mandate Grass and said, "Go—give this Junyang and the others."

"But Father, what about you?"

"Go. I'll be fine. Every day Posha's treatment is delayed increases the danger he's in. Go and save him. As for me, I'll be fine."

"Yes, Father!" Tang Chuan nodded and left. In any case, he had a mental connection with Tang Jie, so he could find him no matter where he went.

Once this was done, Tang Jie grabbed the bottle, but it was so unexpectedly heavy that he failed to do it alone with his body cultivator strength, and only by stimulating his Deification energy was he barely able to lift it.

This weight was many times heavier than the Mountain Shatter Boy's Jade Waves Pot.

But all he saw in the bottle was yellow water, with no surging waves or sense of grandeur. Despite this, it was astonishingly heavy, even more heavy than Profound Heavy Water. freewēbnoveℓ.com

After a moment of surprise, he cried out in realization, "Yellow Springs Essence! This is Yellow Springs Essence!"

Everything in the world had its essence, be it blood, ghosts, or the waters of the Yellow Springs.

As a manifestation of Life and Reincarnation, Yellow Springs Essence possessed astonishing effects, enough to be considered a Great Dao resource. And in this world, Great Dao resources were even rarer than Dao armaments. After all, Dao armaments were generally reusable and could even be artificially manufactured, whereas Great Dao resources would be used until nothing was left.

If one had to rank Yellow Springs Essence, it would undoubtedly be in the top three water essences.

Tang Jie hadn't expected to find such an incredible resource, and he almost went crazy with ecstasy. This was essentially a fountain of life, and if he handed it to Xu Miaoran, she could make countless divine medicines. Let alone revive the dead, they would even be able to assist someone to Earth Immortal or True Immortal.

The bottle holding the Yellow Springs Essence was also an extremely rare treasure, able to hold vast amounts of water and unleash it against the enemy, though that was not its purpose right now.

As he put away the Yellow Springs Essence, the Nether God once more bellowed in fury. This roar set the entire palace quaking, indicating that he was reaching the limits of his patience.

Tang Jie turned to the giant toad corpse.

He didn't immediately know what it was for.

But since Nirvana had put it here, it had to be something good. Unable to figure out what it was, Tang Jie activated his Heavenly Dao Realm.

Nothing could hide from the Heavenly Dao Realm. The secret passage had only escaped his notice earlier because its zone had been too small. Now, however, the Heavenly Dao Realm engulfed the mummified toad, the might of the Heavenly Dao seeping into its every cell.

Through this thorough examination, Tang Jie discovered that there was a spatial passage inside this toad.

In other words, the toad was actually a spatial gate, though he didn't know where it led.

Wherever it led, it was a good treasure. In the past, Tang Jie had made a fortune through one teleportation formation by means of the inter-domain trade, so any gate to another domain was a source of wealth. Even if ordinary wealth no longer had much meaning to Tang Jie, he still had a need for rare top-class resources.

Thus, Tang Jie took the toad as well.

This act made Nirvana go utterly berserk.

With a terrible cry, the secret chamber Tang Jie was in shuddered. The floor cracked open, and a giant black python emerged from the chasm and lunged at Tang Jie.

"Finally chose to act?" Tang Jie smiled.

He thrust out a hand, manifesting a giant hand from nothing. This was the Heavenly King Mara Incantation, but at Tang Jie's current level, it was many times stronger than the one he had used in the past. This palm instantly turned into thousands of palms, each one with the strength to shatter mountains, and this was only a casual strike from Tang Jie.

The wave of palm strikes slammed into the python, which was sent flying, but Tang Jie's palms also popped out of existence.

At this, Tang Jie frowned. Just when he was about to say something, he sensed that something was wrong and swiftly blinked away. A black shadow swept through his afterimage, another black python arriving onto the scene.

Before Tang Jie could attack again, more and more black pythons emerged from the floor, all of them hissing at Tang Jie.

"Oh, a summon," Tang Jie snorted. "I was wondering why it was weak. So you can also do that trick."

These black pythons were not the real Nirvana, but guardian clones made from his blood and flesh. However, each of these clones was at the Nether Emperor level, and there were twelve in all, able to combine in a formation. They should have served as his trump card to defend himself, but Tang Jie had forced his hand.

He was shocked to find that this thief who had plundered his treasury was only at the Nether Emperor level.

And… he was a human!

"Human!"

The twelve snakes reared up, a cry of shock emerging from their mouths.
