Chapter 517: 514: Beast Servant Palace_1
He looked at them one by one and quickly noticed the most eye-catching Array Plate among these treasures.
He was quite familiar with this Array Plate, which was the same size as other Array Plates and could be held in one hand. However, it was different from ordinary Array Plates in other aspects. In the center of the plate, there were four stone generals wearing armor and holding sharp swords, looking very imposing.
If one didn’t observe carefully, they wouldn’t find anything unusual about these four stone generals. But with a closer look, one could notice that their rock-like bodies emitted a faint aura.
This aura was not to be underestimated, as it seemed that the four stone generals could unleash astonishing power at any time.
Ordinary Array Plates did not have such peculiar things.
This was the reason why Yang Chen noticed the Array Plate at first glance. Holding the Array Plate, he curiously looked at Yu Ban and asked, “Elder Yu Ban, what is this Array Plate for?”
Yu Ban said with a smile, “Young Master, your eyesight is indeed good. This Array Plate is the most powerful treasure left by the Great Emperor for you at this stage. It can be said that the value of all the other treasures combined is not as high as this one.” Yu Ban spoke with great seriousness.
Yang Chen blinked his eyes, “Oh, what is the function of this Array Plate?”
“During the Great Emperor’s lifetime, he once encountered four Life Stones. Young Master, you know what these Life Stones are, right?” Yu Ban said.
Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, the mention of Life Stones making him think of a certain possibility.
What is this Life Stone?
In this vast world, there are countless wonders, and people generally think that plants and stones are lifeless. However, in this peculiar world, plants and stones might not be truly lifeless. Just like these Life Stones, they are a kind of stone with life in them.
Life Stones are simple and honest in nature, with little wisdom and spirituality, and do not know the way of cultivation.
However, Life Stones have an amazing feature – their defense is very strong.
But the growth cycle of Life Stones is really too slow. Hence, many people who encounter them usually kill them in advance and use them as materials for alchemy and artifact refining. There’s no choice; no one can wait for the growth of a Life Stone. This also makes Life Stones rare, and their usefulness is nearly extinct.
Unexpectedly, he encountered Life Stones here…
“This stone general, is it evolved from the Life Stone?” Yang Chen was horrified.
“That’s right. Others can’t wait for the growth of Life Stones. However, when the Great Emperor encountered these Life Stones, he had a brilliant idea. He asked a formation master to create an Array Plate, and then sealed the Life Stones in it. In this way, the Life Stones could go through their growth cycle peacefully and merge with the Array Plate. Anyway, the stones couldn’t feel loneliness, so after many years of accumulation, these four Life Stones evolved into this form.”
Yu Ban couldn’t help but praise, “However, the growth cycle of Life Stones is indeed frightfully long. Even a thousand years is just enough for them to grow into their juvenile stage.”
“This form is still just a juvenile stage?” Yang Chen’s eyes widened.
“What did you think? It’s said that the Life Stone is the king among stones, and after maturity, it can summon the power of all the stones in the world. When it reaches that stage, it’s truly powerful. However, it’s a pity that humans can’t wait that long. I guess even the time that human beings have existed so far may not be enough to support the time consumed by a Life Stone to grow into maturity.”
Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh. He looked at the Array Plate and asked curiously, “Then, Elder Yu Ban, what is the actual function of this Array Plate?”
“Quite simply, it’s for self-defense. These four Life Stones have completely merged with the Array Plate, and you can control both the Array Plate and them, which have almost no wisdom and spirituality. Just treat these Life Stones as ordinary stones.”
As Yu Ban spoke, he pointed at the Array Plate.
Yang Chen rubbed his brows, “For self-defense? Elder Yu Ban, can you be more specific, please?”
“Young Master, don’t be impatient. I said this Array Plate is valuable, and I wouldn’t deceive you,” Yu Ban said gently, “Once this Array Plate is used, the four Life Stones will form a defense to protect you. This protective force can even withstand the attacks of True Martial Realm masters, allowing you to avoid danger.”
“Withstand attacks from True Martial Realm masters?” Yang Chen was taken aback.
Yu Ban solemnly said, “This is the treasure left by the Great Emperor for you at this stage, which is like an additional protective magic treasure for you. However, it’s a pity that the lifespan of these stone generals is still too short, and a mere thousand years is barely enough to withstand the attacks of the True Martial Realm.”
Yang Chen was actually quite satisfied.
Withstanding True Martial Realm attacks.
Jokingly, with this treasure, at least half of the people in North Mountain County who could kill him would be reduced.
The Tiandu Emperor was indeed considering for him, his successor.
“It’s a pity that there’s no chance to thank the Tiandu Emperor again,” Yang Chen sighed heavily, feeling a little saddened.
He certainly wouldn’t let go of such a valuable Array Plate and directly put it into his pocket.
After putting away the treasure, Yang Chen began to look at the other treasures.
Most of these other treasures were Spirit Weapons or other items, and even Supreme-Level Spiritual Instruments, which were very valuable. But for Yang Chen, they were not of great value. It’s not that he looked down on these Supreme-Level Spiritual Instruments, but with his current means, these Spiritual Instruments were just icing on the cake.
The Tiandu Emperor was not stingy, but…
Normal Origin Martial Realm practitioners who use these Supreme-Level Spiritual Instruments are already good enough. If those at the Origin Martial Realm use Xuan Tian treasures from the start, it’s almost the same as seeking death.
With this thought, Yang Chen turned to Yu Ban who was next to him, “Elder Yu Ban, with my current cultivation level, what kind of treasures can I use and where else can I go in the Tiandu Divine Country? Please tell me in detail.”
Of course, Yu Ban would not hide anything and told Yang Chen in detail about the places he could go to now and the treasures he could allocate without any omissions.
After listening to these explanations, Yang Chen was somewhat distressed.
Because many of the treasures he could allocate now offered little benefit to his current Martial Arts Cultivation.
For example, those materials were actually good, but the elixirs that could be refined from them did not offer much gain for his current cultivation. It seemed that the Tiandu Emperor intentionally wanted him to take one step at a time and didn’t plan to give him treasures beyond his Origin Martial Realm essence during this stage.
However, there were some unexpected surprises.
“There’s a Beast Servant Palace where I can get those demonic beasts for practice? I can check that out,” Yang Chen revealed a smile as he listened to Yu Ban’s words.
