Chapter 2348 With Interest, Raid The Treasure Vault, A Huge Daoist Mountain
The Celestial Divine Tribe was one of the oldest tribes in the Great Hongmeng Universe with deep roots and an abundance of resources from having gathered countless treasures across countless eras.
All the treasures were placed in a secret treasure vault inside the tribe.
The vault was guarded by many guards, and the weakest among them was a Grand Dao Supreme Saint.
There were also more than a dozen Supreme Honorables. Even Monarchs keeping watch of the vault at all times.
It was safe to say that the treasure vault was heavily guarded.
The treasure vault welcomed a visitor on that particular day.
When the guards saw the person, they bowed and saluted. "Lord Yan!" Lord Yan, or Tianshen Yan, was one of the Monarchs of the Celestial Divine Tribe. However, he had been killed by Chu Kuangren, and the one who had appeared before the vault was Chu Kuangren himself, transformed using the Limitless Imitation.
With the mystical Limitless Imitation technique, Chu Kuangren possessed Tianshen Yan's aura, cultivation technique, fate, memories, and even his soul.
It was not an exaggeration to consider him as the real Tianshen Yan.
"I want to get something from the vault."
"What do you seek, Lord Yan?" the guard asked.
Not even a Monarch enjoyed free access to the vault.
"An Immortal Herb. I'd like to use it for pill-refining."
Other than being a Monarch, Tianshen Yan was also a superb pill-refiner and was quite well-known within his tribe.
The guard lowered his guard and said, "Do you have the Tribe Leader's permission?"
Even with his status, he had to get the Tribe Leader's permission to enter the treasure vault.
"The tribe leader is cultivating, and I am in a hurry. I have to get the Immortal Herb by today. When the tribe leader is done with his cultivation, I'll come back with permission. Move! You wouldn't want to bear the responsibility of delaying my matters," Chu Kuangren said grimly.
Tianshen Yan was a short-tempered person, and the guard knew it. In addition to his Monarch status and prestigious position in the tribe, even the Tribe Leader had to respect him.
With that, the guard granted him access.
The rules were stiff, but the guards there could make their own decisions, and they dared not offend a Monarch.
After Chu Kuangren entered the treasure vault, mountains of treasures entered his sight. There were rare Immortal Minerals, herbs, and more than thirty pieces of Hongmeng Supreme Treasure.
In the center of the vault was a Daoist mountain consisting of a large amount of Great Dao Source. It had the highest quality of Great Dao Source that Chu Kuangren had ever seen.
Its crystal-like body looked amazing surrounded by divine light.
The Celestial Divine Tribe was indeed well-resourced.
Chu Kuangren's eyes gleamed with interest. "Hehe, Tianshen Yan, your tribe will pay the temple on behalf of you and with interest, of course."
The Divine Destiny Temple never dealt in a losing bargain.
Would killing Tianshen Yan reap less value than sparing his life? Not exactly. Chu Kuangren waved at the mountains of treasures, and all the treasures were sucked into his Pocket Universe.
Minerals, herbs, treasures, and everything in sight were absorbed.
Suddenly, Chu Kuangren saw a talisman rune sealed in a crystal rock.
The talisman looked extremely mystical.
His heart raced. "This is one of the Nine Divine Seals!"
The Nine Divine Seals represented the peak of nine different Daos.
Chu Kuangren had mastered the Void, the Weapon, and the Curse Seal and gained all their Ultimate-level cultivation techniques. The Six Eyes Diviner had the Divine Destiny Seal, and now he had found the fifth one in the Celestial Divine Tribe's treasure vault.
"This is a good fine."
Chu Kuangren took it and planned to have a look after he exited the vault.
Soon, he raided the entire treasure vault, leaving nothing behind.
He got twenty-four pieces of Hongmeng Supreme Treasures, twice as much as Tianshen Yan's debt.
He also got other rare minerals and herbs as well.
"Tianshen Yan owed the temple for ages. I think I can take all of these to compensate for the late payment," Chu Kuangren said with a content smile.
The Divine Destiny Temple earned a lot from Tianshen Yan's deal, including an interest. Not even a loan shark could reap so much return in one deal.
"Let's go."
Chu Kuangren originally wanted to wreak havoc on the Celestial Divine Tribe to teach them a lesson for messing with the human race, but he ultimately suppressed the urge to do so.
After all, the Celestial Divine Tribe had a few old men in hiding, so he had to be more careful.
"Lord Yan, I'll see you off," the guard said respectfully.
"That won't be necessary. Just carry on with your duty."
"Take care, Lord Yan."
After Chu Kuangren left, another Monarch came.
"Lord Yi."
Lord Yi was Tianshen Yi.
He revealed a scroll carrying the Tribe Leader's permission. "I want to get something from the vault."
The guard was baffled. "Is this the Tribe Leader's permission scroll?"
"What? Are you suspecting me?"
"No, my Lord. I thought the Tribe Leader was cultivating."
"Who said that?"
"Lord Yan. He just left."
"Tianshen Yan… Bring me inside now!" Tianshen Yi instinctively noticed something was wrong and immediately went into the vault.
What he saw inside the vault was shocking.
There was nothing inside.
Tianshen Yi and the guard were stunned.
The minerals, the herbs, the Hongmeng Supreme Treasures, the huge Daoist Mountain — everything was gone!
Petrified, the guard started to shake in fear. He knew he would be punished for that.
"Are you sure Tianshen Yan came before me?"
"Yes, it was Lord Yan!" The guard looked devastated, but Tianshen Yi attacked him with a palm strike, killing him.
After that, he took out a jade talisman.
Soon, the news of Tianshen Yan stealing the entire treasure vault spread across the whole tribe.
Multiple Monarchs were mobilized to hunt him down.
Countless runes were summoned across the tribe's land, forming a massive boundary to put the place in total lockdown.
The sudden commotion surprised many people.
"What is going on? The Earthen Monarch is here again?"
"I thought he attacked before! What does he want now?"
One of the cultivators recalled the fear when he saw the Earthen Monarch attacking their tribe.
Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes at the boundary. "Oh, they've found out already? What a surprise."
He grinned at the terrified cultivators. It seemed like the Earthen Monarch's attack had traumatized a lot of them.
"Tianshen Yan, there you are!"
A loud shout and a blast of Monarch aura erupted.
Then, a figure arrived before Chu Kuangren.
"You're quick," Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
It was Tianshen Yi.
"Tianshen Yan, why did you betray us?" Tianshen Yi asked coldly.
"Skip the chatter." Chu Kuangren threw a palm strike forward. The Celestial Divine Light transformed into a fiery attack, which was Tianshen Yan's signature attack.
Tianshen Yi countered with his own attack.
When the attacks clashed, they were both pushed back.
Chu Kuangren pursed his lips.
"Tianshen Yan's power is really disappointing."
His Limitless Imitation was powerful but not perfect. When he transformed into the target of imitation, the power he could use would depend on how powerful the target was. He could not use other powers while he was in other forms.
However, compared to what it could do, the little flaw could be ignored.
