Chapter 1269 - Cleaning out the Treasure Vault

Chapter 1269: Cleaning out the Treasure Vault

They passed through a passageway lined with traps before opening a sturdy and heavy gate.

Treasures stacked in mountains appeared before their eyes.

An Lin and his group were completely dumbstruck by the countless treasures they beheld.

It was quite clear that the treasures here were far beyond what An Lin and the others were expecting.

Xiang Ling introduced with a smile, “This is our sect’s treasure vault and also where the Dark Depravity Monarch once stored his treasures.”

An Lin came to a realization upon hearing this. No wonder the Dark Depravity Monarch didn’t even have a storage ring on him when he died.

Xiang Ling pointed to the mountains of spirit stones and vital stones before them. “There are a total of one hundred and thirty million spirit stones here.”

Gulp…

An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Da Bai, and Tina all swallowed involuntarily.

One hundred and thirty million spirit stones were enough to stun even tycoon cultivators like them.

Xiang Ling continued with her introduction, “Here are three immortal tools, a hundred and fifty-six spirit tools, and two thousand five hundred magic tools… Here are eight immortal pills, six immortal fruits, three hundred and twenty spirit pills, five hundred spirit fruits, and various exotic plants and minerals…”

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan had to keep swallowing in order to avoid drooling.

Thus, they made a lap of the entire treasure vault.

Xiang Ling turned to An Lin with a smile. “Great Sect Leader, you have the right to take any of the Divine Dark Dao Sect’s treasures, and you do not need my permission if you want to take anything from here.”

“I can take anything?” An Lin’s breathing accelerated.

“That’s right, take anything you need.” Xiang Ling waved an expansive hand.

An Lin clapped his hands together and put all of the spirit stones into his storage ring.

Xiang Ling: “???”

An Lin: “Didn’t you say I could take anything I need? I need money.”

Xiang Ling: “…”

After that, An Lin put all of the treasures within the treasure vault away into storage rings.

One was not enough. An Lin had to use three supreme-grade storage rings.

Xiang Ling: “???”

An Lin explained, “The treasures are not safe here. It’s better to keep them with me.”

“How could it not be safe here? Unless a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure comes here, who would be able to access our sect’s treasure vault by force?” Xiang Ling pursed her lips and stated an objection.

She was really starting to panic now. No one had ever dared to clean out the treasure vault like this.

“Unless a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure comes here? I’m just an ordinary Soul Formation Stage cultivator, yet I can crash through this sect with ease! This place really is unsafe!” An Lin spoke with a concerned expression.

Xiang Ling was astonished.

What the f*ck was this about being an ordinary Soul Formation Stage cultivator?!

“But storing the treasures here in this treasure vault would make it easier for the elders to manage them. After all, the sect has so many disciples to whom resources need to be allocated to. You won’t be able to take care of the distribution all by yourself. Even the Dark Depravity Monarch had kept all of his treasures within the treasure vault…” Xiang Ling persisted.

“Don’t compare me to that idiot! I have my own plans. Let me tally up the treasures first, then decide what to do with them,” An Lin spoke with a stern expression.

Xiang Ling was in despair.

She knew she couldn’t dissuade An Lin, so she relinquished any attempt to do so.

If anyone asked, she would just blame it on An Lin.

After clearing out the entire treasure vault, An Lin and the others continued on toward other parts of the sect.

“By the way, do you know where the Dark King Palace is?” An Lin suddenly asked.

Xiang Ling was one of the highest-ranked elders here. If she didn’t know, then there was probably no one in the sect who knew about this. Sure enough, her expression shifted slightly upon hearing An Lin’s words.

“The Dark King Palace? I do know where it is, but the Dark King Palace is protected by an extremely powerful restriction. Not even the Dark Depravity Monarch is able to access it…” Xiang Ling replied.

“I told you not to compare me to the Dark Depravity Monarch.” An Lin glared at Xiang Ling.

Xiang Ling’s expression faltered, and she obediently led An Lin to the Dark King Palace.

There was a winding mountain path leading upward, and the Dark King Palace seemed to be located at the summit of the inside of the divine mountain.

After a long while, they finally arrived at a place where boundless dark energy lingered in the air.

Xiang Ling pointed toward a dark barrier in the distance, which was exuding an extremely vast aura. This was clearly a Dao Integration Stage energy restriction.

Above the barrier, there was a stone plaque upon which the words “Dark King Palace” were inscribed.

Xiang Ling pointed toward the barrier. “The Dark King Palace is behind that barrier. No one can break through it unless they’re a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure, so…”

Boom!

Before she had finished her sentence, the nine Dark Beads crashed into the barrier and were reduced to dust.

Immediately afterward, the barrier began to tremor violently before gradually splitting down the middle to form a passageway.

An Lin turned around. “What did you say?”

Xiang Ling: “…”

Xu Xiaolan furrowed her brows. “I feel like there is still some sort of extremely dangerous power within the passageway that is rejecting me.”

“That’s because you’re not the master of the Dark Beads. I’m going in, you wait for me outside.” An Lin waved a hand.

Sure enough, none of the dark energy dared to approach An Lin. All of it drifted off to the side as if they were obedient servants making way for their king.

Thus, An Lin disappeared from everyone else’s line of sight.

Xiang Ling stared blankly into the passageway as she muttered to herself, “He can access the Dark King Palace! As expected, he is the Dark Monarch that is going to take our Divine Dark Dao Sect to greater heights!”

On the other side.

An Lin entered the Dark King Palace.

Dark blue flames burned without rest, unleashing the power of darkness.

With the help of their light, he could see that there was nothing in here.

The only things that were situated within this palace were three statues, which were statues of the three Dark Monarchs.

The three Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures of the Divine Dark Dao Sect were truly the antagonists of ancient times. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the three main enemies of the human race.

They were the Sky Sealing Dark King, Bitter Blood Dark King, and the Infernal Earth Dark King!

The Infernal Earth Dark King possessed very terrifying and imposing looks.

In contrast, the Bitter Blood Dark King appeared to be quite handsome and elegant. However, An Lin knew that he was the one responsible for the creation of the Dead Spirit Demonic Land.

The Sky Sealing Dark King was the most ordinary-looking one among them. If you ignored the chains wrapped around his arms, he appeared to be no different from a mundane mortal.

Of course, An Lin was well aware that he was the most powerful among the three Dark Monarchs.

He was the man who had founded the Divine Dark Dao Sect and dared to oppose the Heavenly Court.

An Lin paced from side to side in front of the three statues, unsure of how to proceed.

“I am the new sect leader of the Divine Dark Dao Sect, please give me your inheritance!

“I collected the nine Dark Beads, please give me your inheritance.

“Oi… speak up!

“Look, I’ve even flicked my blood essence onto your faces! Hurry up and give a response!”

An Lin was starting to get a little pissed off by the three stationary statues.

Everything remained deathly silent.

“F*ck, I feel like an idiot!”

An Lin aimed a vicious kick at the Sky Sealing Dark King’s knee.

Bam!

Boom…

The Sky Sealing Dark King suddenly began to move!
