Chapter 837: Heaven-Sent Treasure Chests (Second update, requesting everything)

Once the sensation of dizziness vanished, Li Zhangsheng appeared at the Ends of the Earth.

The moment Li Zhangsheng appeared, the other contestants all turned their gazes toward him in unison.

The reason was simple: Li Zhangsheng was the last contestant to emerge, so he naturally obtained the only spot to enter the core area of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

They were very curious about whether Li Zhangsheng had obtained any treasures from the core area, and even more curious about how Yan Wanling had been eliminated.

Yan Wanling's expression was very poor, so naturally, no one would ask her; however, several contestants who were familiar with Wen Zetao had asked this question, but Wen Zetao was clever enough to remain silent.

If he were to tell the truth, it would definitely offend Yan Wanling; that was a certainty.

Ning Bizhen was no fool either; even when Zhao Rui and Wu Zetao asked her, she just smiled and said nothing, and as for the other contestants, it went without saying.

When Li Zhangsheng appeared, Ning Bizhen, Zhao Rui, and Wu Zetao hurried up to greet him.

Zhao Rui took a step forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations on becoming the number one person of this Heavenly Dao Secret Realm!"

"Changsheng, could you tell us how you obtained the only spot?"

Unlike Zhao Rui, Wu Zetao was very curious about how Li Zhangsheng had obtained the only spot.

Yan Wanling had been keeping a close eye on Li Zhangsheng, and the moment she heard Wu Zetao's words, her heart couldn't help but leap into her throat; she looked at Li Zhangsheng with great anxiety, fearing that Li Zhangsheng would reveal how she had been defeated.

If the four people present at that time all remained silent, the others would be unable to confirm whether Yan Wanling had been defeated; after all, to obtain the only spot, one only needed to have obtained the highest quantity of treasures, and it was not strictly necessary to defeat the opponent.

Even if someone guessed that Yan Wanling had been defeated, they would subconsciously assume that the three Top-tier Pseudo-Kings—Li Zhangsheng, Ning Bizhen, and Wen Zetao—had joined forces to defeat Yan Wanling, which was still somewhat acceptable for Yan Wanling.

As a New Pseudo-King, it wouldn't be too shameful to be defeated by three Top-tier Pseudo-Kings.

But if she had been defeated by only two Top-tier Pseudo-Kings, that would be a huge loss of face, especially since Ning Bizhen hadn't exerted much effort in that battle.

Yan Wanling did not use sound transmission to threaten Li Zhangsheng, because she knew very well that doing so would be no different from lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet.

"There's nothing much to say; I had good luck, and the quantity of treasures I seized was the highest, so I obtained the only spot."

Li Zhangsheng did not want to make enemies everywhere, especially with Yan Wanling, who had an Emperor Rank background.

Furthermore, Li Zhangsheng's feat of suppressing Yan Wanling to become the number one person of this Heavenly Dao Secret Realm was already enough to cause his reputation to soar; perhaps revealing the process of defeating Yan Wanling would boost his reputation further, but it would only be icing on the cake.

The tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind; being too high-profile is not a good thing, as it is inevitable that more people will target him, especially since Li Zhangsheng is still a long way from being invincible.

Hearing Li Zhangsheng say this, Yan Wanling finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her complexion looked a bit better.

Although Wu Zetao and Zhao Rui were very curious about what kind of treasures Li Zhangsheng had obtained in the core area, they did not ask, because any normal person would not reveal it; after all, in the core area, it was possible to obtain World Wonder grade treasures.

After chatting for a while, Li Zhangsheng and the other contestants began to wait for the rewards from the Heavenly Dao.

The rewards from the Heavenly Dao were mainly determined by the contestants' final results, which was why the contestants would risk their lives trying to go further in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

The next moment, a vast expanse of mysterious yellow light appeared above the Ends of the Earth, and immediately after, over a hundred streams of light descended, automatically falling into the hands of every contestant.

After the mysterious yellow light vanished, a small treasure chest appeared in the hands of every contestant.

These treasure chests were identical in style, with the only difference being their color, as they were obtained based on the contestants' results.

The most numerous were the Bronze Treasure Chests, obtained by contestants who stopped at the first round, which could yield Heavenly Essence Grade treasures.

Next were the Silver Treasure Chests, which had a chance to yield Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade treasures, or at the very least, top-tier Heavenly Essence; the treasure chests obtained by Wu Zetao, Zhao Rui, and Xiang Yutian were of this grade.

Next were the Gold Treasure Chests, which were only obtained by Yan Wanling, Ning Bizhen, and Wen Zetao; these could yield Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade treasures, or even incomplete World Wonders.

Finally, there were the Purple Gold Treasure Chests, but what was inside remained unknown, because everyone who opened a Purple Gold Treasure Chest always kept it hidden and would not easily speak of it.

If there were no surprises, the Purple Gold Treasure Chests should be able to yield World Wonder grade treasures.

Resisting his excitement, Li Zhangsheng put the Purple Gold Treasure Chest into his Space Ring.

Opening a Purple Gold Treasure Chest in a place like this—if the item inside were something like the Space-Time Origin—would be a case of "possessing a treasure is a crime."

Well, only a fool would open such a high-level treasure chest in full view of everyone.

Ning Bizhen and Wen Zetao also put away their treasure chests, and only Yan Wanling chose to open her Gold Treasure Chest in public.

In this Gold Treasure Chest, Yan Wanling obtained a golden crystalline object, which was a Profound Meaning Crystal.

One could guess with their eyes closed that this was no inferior product, but a Gold Profound Meaning Crystal, which could significantly increase the probability of a Demon Pet breaking through to the Demon King level; its value could be imagined.

However, Yan Wanling appeared somewhat disappointed; she could only use this Gold Profound Meaning Crystal for trading, as she could not use it to improve her own strength because she did not have a Gold Element Lord-level Demon Pet.

As for the contestants who obtained Silver Treasure Chests and Bronze Treasure Chests, they all chose to open their treasure chests.

For a time, various colors of treasure light appeared at the Ends of the Earth, giving the impression of a treasure island.

The moment the treasure chests were opened, some were happy and some were sad; those who were happy had naturally obtained treasures exceeding their expectations, while those who were sad had not met their expectations.

Wu Zetao opened a bead-shaped treasure, and Li Zhangsheng recognized it at a glance; it was a top-tier Heavenly Essence—the Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl.

However, a Silver Treasure Chest could at least yield top-tier Heavenly Essence, which meant that Wu Zetao's luck was average, as he had not opened a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade treasure.

Compared to Wu Zetao, Zhao Rui's luck was better; he was lucky enough to open a Profound Meaning Crystal, and even if it was only an inferior product, it could still slightly increase the probability of a Demon Pet breaking through to the Demon King level, and its value could be said to far exceed the Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl.

Seeing that Zhao Rui had opened an inferior Profound Meaning Crystal, Wu Zetao could not help but show a depressed expression.

His gains from this trip into the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm were actually not as good as Zhao Rui's.

Not far away, Xiang Yutian showed an expression of annoyance; he had originally hoped to open an inferior Profound Meaning Crystal, but it turned out to be a Heavenly Essence Grade material.

Thus, like Wu Zetao, although he had gained some precious treasures during this trip to the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, Xiang Yutian had also failed to meet his expectations.

If he did not pay some price, it was feared that Xiang Yutian would have to wait until next year to become a King.
