Chapter 1164

"Welcome to the Realm Within a Realm! I have waited for this day for over ten million years!"

A deep voice echoed through heaven and earth.

Above the castle, beams of light converged, forming a virtual figure—a stout, white-bearded old man who immediately fixed his gaze on Fang Yu.

"Kid, you came here seeking the Realm Within a Realm's treasure, right? Yes, the master originally hid his treasure here, under my watch."

The white-bearded old man smiled down at Fang Yu. "The master's treasure is vast—look!"

The old man pointed to his side, and instantly a massive screen appeared above the castle, displaying countless item images—various treasures, with the most central one being a crystal ball of strange hues.

"I've carefully categorized them: 68 types, 312 items total."

The white-bearded old man pointed to the side screen, and instantly a ranking list appeared on it.

Fang Yu's gaze fell on the ranking list: first place was the complete Space Secret Technique, the transmission crystal ball with a triple-bank account; second place was the master's deposit bank account; third was a Domain Lord-tier bloodline potion.

"No. 9 Life Fruit (three)"

"No. 32 D6-class Rail Cannon (three)"

"No. 68 Fifth-Rank Primordial Force Weapon: Tianhuo Wheel."

Among the 68 treasures, some had three or four pieces, others six or seven, bringing the total to 312 items.

Some of these treasures were so valuable that even Fang Yu felt their worth upon seeing them.

For instance, No. 9 "Life Fruit" contained immense life energy; even a Realm Lord, no matter how grave his injuries, would be fully restored upon consuming one—equivalent to gaining an extra life.

The D6-class Rail Cannon at No. 32 possessed such destructive power that even a sixth-rank Domain Lord would struggle to withstand a single shot—it was undeniably a lethal weapon.

"Kid, to obtain such treasures, you must exchange them for Thunder Stones. Every single item here can be exchanged for Thunder Stones. Look—each has a detailed price!"

Instantly, the side screen's list changed.

Fang Yu saw that the top-ranked complete Space Secret Technique transmission crystal ball with triple-bank account required ten million Thunder Stones per account; combining all three accounts allowed withdrawal of the stored transmission crystal ball from the Universe's First Bank. The second-ranked deposit account required eight million Thunder Stones; the third-ranked Domain Lord-tier bloodline potion required three million Thunder Stones; each Life Fruit (three total) cost eighty thousand Thunder Stones each.

The D6-class Rail Cannon (three total) cost twenty-one thousand Thunder Stones each.

The final treasure, the Fifth-Rank Primordial Force Weapon Tianhuo Wheel, cost ten thousand Thunder Stones.

"Thunder Stones—I named them. They're a unique stone found only in the Realm Within a Realm. They're worthless elsewhere, but here, they're the only currency. Go, dig for Thunder Stones. With enough, you can exchange them for any treasure you desire."

The white-bearded old man's eyes gleamed with madness. "Want treasures? Fight for them! Gather Thunder Stones, come to the castle, and trade with me!"

The old man's projection vanished, leaving only the giant screen above the castle.

"Good."

Seeing the white-bearded old man disappear, Fang Yu's face broke into a smile.

He did not leave to search for Thunder Stones—he remained where he stood, and countless Thunder Stones flowed continuously into his body.

Thunder Stones were rocks containing low energy, insignificant compared to Cosmic Crystals, but given exchange value by the white-bearded old man, they now held meaning.

Fang Yu saw that three hundred zhang beneath a distant stretch of land, Thunder Stones had begun forming; within a twenty-kilometer radius underground, there were exactly two hundred thousand Thunder Stones. He opened a spatial passage from his body to that location and retrieved all two hundred thousand.

In another location, Fang Yu detected eight hundred thousand Thunder Stones, and again, a space-time passage reached out to extract them.

One million Thunder Stones.

Five million Thunder Stones.

Ten million Thunder Stones.

Fifty million Thunder Stones.

One hundred million!

The Thunder Stones within Fang Yu's body kept increasing, and after accumulating enough, he stepped directly into the castle.

"What? You came in so quickly, kid? You've got no patience. But I keep my word—how many Thunder Stones did you gather? What treasure do you want to exchange?"

The white-bearded old man's face showed a flicker of surprise, then he laughed.

"Then I'll take the No. 11 Star Heart first."

Fang Yu's gaze fixed on the No. 11 Star Heart.

The Star Heart was a wondrous artifact. In the vast universe, some life-bearing planets had life cycles; when such a planet died, its core had a chance to form a crystalline core infused with all remaining life energy—the Star Heart.

Fang Yu immediately coveted this treasure. If he could assimilate it into his body, it would greatly aid his comprehension of the Creation Law.

Thus, his first target was the No. 11 treasure.

"The Star Heart requires seventy thousand Thunder Stones, kid. If you have seventy thousand, I'll give you the Star Heart right now!"

The white-bearded old man's voice rang out.

"Of course I do."

Fang Yu reached out, seized seventy thousand Thunder Stones, and sent them floating before the old man.

"Good. Here's the Star Heart—it's yours now."

After swiftly counting the seventy thousand Thunder Stones, the old man handed over the Star Heart.

As Fang Yu grasped it, he felt boundless vitality within, not just life energy, but also profound mysteries—requiring a quiet place to refine it thoroughly to comprehend all its cosmic truths.

Excellent treasure!

Truly an excellent treasure!

Such a Star Heart, costing only seventy thousand Thunder Stones—Fang Yu felt he'd made an incredible bargain.

"Next, I'll exchange for the No. 9 Life Fruit."

After obtaining the Star Heart, Fang Yu did not leave. Instead, he pulled out two million four hundred thousand Thunder Stones to exchange for the Life Fruit.

Life Fruit contained immense life force; as long as a Realm Lord's soul hadn't scattered, one fruit could fully restore even the gravest injuries—essentially a second life. Each Life Fruit held pure life energy capable of evolving humans, plants, and animals.

Its life energy was billions of times denser than Earth's Muyajing. Such a treasure, even beyond this realm, would be priceless.

"You still have Thunder Stones? Kid, I underestimated you. Fine—here are three Life Fruits. Let's see if you still have more!"

The white-bearded old man was visibly stunned, yet he still followed protocol and delivered the three Life Fruits.

As Fang Yu took the Life Fruits, he realized they were supreme treasures even in the Eternal Life Realm—the Eternal Life Realm had four divine stones, one being the Life Stone, but Fang Yu sensed its life energy paled beside these Life Fruits.

After all, the life force contained within this Life Fruit could allow a Realm Master to recover rapidly, whereas the Life Stone of the Eternal Life Realm could only give a 10th Stage of Divine Abilities expert a great chance to charge into the Longevity Realm, and even the Immortal Realm.

The life energy of the Life Fruit surpassed that of the Life Stone, yet within this realm within a realm, one only needed to spend 800,000 to obtain one, while those Thunder Stones were actually completely useless.

Fang Yu took all three Life Fruits in one go, his heart filled with joy. This method of shuttling between different worlds and obtaining magic treasures according to the rules of each world was truly exhilarating. If he wanted to obtain these three Life Fruits in the Eternal Life Realm, it would not be as easy and smooth as now, even though he was a great figure in the Eternal Life Realm who had comprehended time and space, a legend among legends, a myth among myths.

After all, in that world, any existence at the Longevity 4th Stage — Light of Time Realm — was a legend among legends, a myth among myths, but in this world, the laws of time and space were not so easy to comprehend. Some Realm Masters had only grasped a fragment, and some Immortals had not even comprehended time and space at all.

Fang Yu used the laws of time and space from the Eternal Life Realm to scheme for treasures in this world, greatly taking advantage of his comprehension of time and space, and now he had obtained great benefits.

"Next, I want to exchange for a Domain Master's bloodline potion."

Fang Yu spoke to the white-bearded old man, and as he spoke, he took out another 3,000,000 worth of Thunder Stones.

"What? How did you do this? Why, in such a short time, could you obtain so many Thunder Stones? Strange, truly strange!"

The white-bearded old man was utterly shocked, but he still followed the previous exchange rules and gave Fang Yu one Domain Master-level bloodline potion.

In other words, if Fang Yu consumed this potion, his bloodline would purify toward an extraterritorial-level race.

Fang Yu, however, did not consume it immediately.

"Little fellow, how many Thunder Stones do you still have? I don't believe you still have Thunder Stones now!"

The white-bearded old man's eyes bulged wide as he looked at Fang Yu, utterly unable to believe that Fang Yu could still produce more Thunder Stones.

Fang Yu smiled, and Thunder Stones poured out like a sky-filling torrent.

"Children make choices; I want everything that's left."
