Chapter 446: Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace — A Special Opportunity

Stepping into the human race's treasure vault, Lu Qingshan quickly saw the cyan stone disc ahead.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

With a wave of his hand, streams of flowing light flew one after another onto the cyan stone disc before him.

These were all resources he had obtained during his recent adventures in the Sea of Universes; he had originally kept them on him so that he could make certain concessions when contending with other powerhouses over supreme treasures.

After all, when two powerhouses of comparable strength were contending over a single treasure, one side could always take the initiative to offer some treasures in exchange, and the other side would then give up contending for the supreme treasure.

But if such a situation arose and Lu Qingshan could not produce corresponding resources, he would have no choice but to accept only the portion of resources the other party offered in trade.

What the human race currently lacked most were still peak supreme treasures, as well as supreme treasures at the top-tier domain level; for some high-grade and ordinary supreme treasures, they were not actually in too short a supply.

Precisely because of this, whenever Lu Qingshan roamed the Sea of Universes, he would carry some lower-tier resources with him — for instance, some top-tier supreme treasure weapons and armor, as well as some high-grade supreme treasures and so on…

This way, when a precious supreme treasure emerged and he had no choice but to compromise, he could bring out these supreme treasures and thereby obtain the chance to acquire those precious supreme treasures.

A moment later, the Virtual Universe system quickly finished appraising these treasures, and then a gentle voice rang out in Lu Qingshan's mind.

"Contributing these treasures to the race will yield a total of 3,896 supreme treasure points. Lord of Wan Jie, shall these treasures be contributed to the race's treasure vault?"

"Yes!"

Lu Qingshan quickly nodded in agreement.

Hum!

After Lu Qingshan agreed to contribute these treasures, the cyan stone disc before him slowly cracked open, revealing a passage that seemed to lead to an endless abyss; the treasures Lu Qingshan had contributed then streamed into the passage one after another.

Once the passage slowly closed, the wealth in Lu Qingshan's hands had become 42,857 supreme treasure points and 2,631 heavy treasure points.

"The exchange price for peak palace-type supreme treasures is generally around thirty thousand to fifty-five thousand supreme treasure points!"

Looking at the more than forty thousand supreme treasure points in his hands, Lu Qingshan thought to himself: "The last peak palace-type supreme treasure that Lord Qingdong exchanged cost thirty-nine thousand supreme treasure points — I hope this one isn't too much more expensive!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly waved his hand and tapped out a huge hazy form in the void before him, then said aloud: "Supreme treasures — peak palace-type supreme treasures!"

Whoosh!

The instant Lu Qingshan's words fell, the contents of the hazy form before him immediately changed.

However, unlike before — when searching for high-grade or top-grade supreme treasures would bring up dozens or even over a hundred at once — this time the peak palace-type supreme treasures displayed on the hazy form numbered only one.

Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace: a peak palace-type supreme treasure, also possessing suppression functions; requires 41,000 supreme treasure points to exchange.

Soon, Lu Qingshan waved his hand and opened the detailed information on this Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace.

It was a cold-white, ancient-looking palace, divided into three upper and lower levels; each level of the palace body was carved with incomparably complex and intricate law secret patterns, and a layer of hazy light enveloped its surroundings, making it look extremely mysterious.

"Is this the peak palace-type supreme treasure that Founder Giant Axe just obtained in the Sea of Universes?" Lu Qingshan could not help but think to himself.

At the same time, a gentle voice began to ring out in Lu Qingshan's mind.

"The Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace is a peak palace-type supreme treasure that also possesses sealing functions — extremely precious!"

"Hiding inside it is enough to ignore material attacks at the level of the strongest beings in the universe! When fighting against some relatively weaker powerhouses, you can even use its sealing function to directly seal them within it!"

"This is the one!"

After reading the detailed introduction of this Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace, a look of satisfaction quickly appeared on Lu Qingshan's face: "Although the exchange price is a bit higher than I imagined, the fact that it also has sealing functions makes it very much worth it!"

"Moreover, the higher the exchange price, the stronger its quality; once I hide inside it later, the chances of being suppressed will be that much lower!"

One must understand that even among peak palace-type supreme treasures, there are still certain differences in might; it was entirely normal for one with weaker might to be suppressed by a peak palace-type supreme treasure with stronger might and sealing functions.

This Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace's exchange price was as high as over forty thousand supreme treasure points, making it quite a fine one among peak palace-type supreme treasures.

So after pondering for a brief moment, Lu Qingshan immediately submitted his application to exchange for the Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace.

But after Lu Qingshan submitted his application to exchange for the Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace, that gentle voice did not ring out immediately as it usually did.

Yet Lu Qingshan was not surprised in the slightest, because after his long eons of cultivation, he had long since come to know the reason.

Because treasures at the level of peak palace-type supreme treasures were not numerous even when the entire human race was added together; whenever a powerhouse submitted an exchange application, it had to go through a review before the exchange could succeed.

However, given Lu Qingshan's current status and strength within the human race, passing the review was naturally no problem at all.

So, a moment later, that gentle voice rang out once more in Lu Qingshan's mind: "The Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace requires 41,000 supreme treasure points to exchange. Lord of Wan Jie, shall you exchange for it?"

"Exchange!"

There was not a trace of hesitation in Lu Qingshan's voice.

Rumble rumble rumble!!

The cyan stone disc before him slowly cracked open, and a treasure emanating hazy light flew out from the dark passage leading to the abyss — it was precisely a cold-white, ancient-looking palace about a meter tall, divided into three upper and lower levels.

The moment this ancient-looking palace appeared, it immediately flew toward Lu Qingshan, from whom the relevant supreme treasure points had already been deducted, and then hovered right before him.

"Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace!"

Lu Qingshan immediately released a wisp of divine power to seep into it; after completing the blood-bond, a stream of ancient information surged directly into his mind — it was precisely the detailed information about this Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace.

"This Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace is worth more than all the other supreme treasures on me combined, but its might looks like it should be quite impressive!"

After carefully sensing the might of the Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace, Lu Qingshan quickly thought to himself: "Last time, riding in that top-grade palace-type supreme treasure, I was already nearly reaching the core of that special region in the Bibo Sea; this time, riding in this Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace, there will certainly be no problem!

After exchanging for this Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace, Lu Qingshan had only 1,857 supreme treasure points and 2,631 heavy treasure points left on him.

For some second-tier or third-tier Universe Lords, this would be a considerable sum of wealth, but for Lu Qingshan it was already nothing to speak of.

So Lu Qingshan did not choose to continue exchanging for treasures, but directly left the human race's treasure vault carrying the Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace he had just exchanged for.

After leaving the treasure vault, Lu Qingshan did not immediately leave the Primal Universe either, but hurried to the residence of Lord Huang Jian.

After thanking Lord Huang Jian for giving him the opportunity to exchange for the Heaven-Spreading Phantom Palace, Lu Qingshan drank heartily with Lord Huang Jian for a while, and only then rose and took his leave.

……

Sea of Universes, within the Universe Boat — one of the three great forbidden lands.

Within the Universe Boat's inner domain, in the dangerous region known as the 'Bibo Sea'.

This Bibo Sea covered a range of over a million light-years; because precious treasures occasionally emerged within it, there were usually dozens, or even over a hundred, powerhouses roaming it at any given time.

Just then…

Whoosh!

A towering figure nearly ten thousand kilometers tall suddenly appeared at the edge of this Azure Wave Sea.

He wore purple-gold battle armor, bore a purple-gold long sword on his back, had a resolute face, and continuously radiated a powerful aura; it was Lu Qingshan, who had quickly rushed into the Universe Sea after becoming familiar with the Profound Heaven Phantom Palace.

Whoosh!

Because the space-time within the Azure Wave Sea region was unstable, even a Universe Master could not teleport and could only travel by flying.

Lu Qingshan directly transformed into a streak of flowing light and rushed toward the special area he had discovered earlier.

Time continued to pass.
