Chapter 276: Tianhua Silver Mystic Hall

The mountain trembled, and at its summit a giant stone was rising.

A three‑hundred‑meter‑tall giant stone rose slowly, then shot upward and hovered in midair.

A black ring drifted up from a huge opening on the summit, curved, flew straight toward Xiao Yu, and finally hovered before him.

Xiao Yu immediately seized the World Ring, his divine power permeated it; it was an ownerless World Ring, and Xiao Yu's spirit easily imprinted within.

Inside the World Ring lay a world containing only a single item.

It was an ancient yet luxurious palace.

The palace stood eighty thousand kilometers tall, with a maximum diameter of about three hundred sixty thousand kilometers.

A strand of Xiao Yu's divine power pierced straight into the palace, a strand of his spiritual imprint merged with it. Instantly a flood of information surged into his mind, causing a surprised smile to appear on Xiao Yu's face.

"It's actually a Flying Palace, and moreover an Initial-level Treasure‑type Flying Palace," Xiao Yu exclaimed with delight.

"Defensive Treasure?"

"This Treasure is called 'Tianhua Silver Mystic Hall,'" Xiao Yu thought silently; the information he just received had already described the Tianhua Silver Mystic Hall, originally the Flying Palace of the First Generation Thunder Beast God. The First Generation Thunder Beast God was a born Beast God, the embodiment of the Fusion Principle of 'Time and Thunder.'

"From now on, let's just call this Flying Palace Tianhua Hall," Xiao Yu said, feeling the previous name was too cumbersome.

Amid the many inheritors' wild guesses, Xiao Yu continued flying toward other peaks, persisting in his treasure hunt.

For example, the Xue Luo Crystals on the Blood Luo Continent are the useless bodily essence formed after the Golden Beast God's fall.

Xiao Yu still pressed on toward the other twelve lofty peaks.

Whoosh!

A rapidly shrinking aurora streaked in, one tip gently touching Xiao Yu's forehead, streams of information flooding his mind—it was a message left by the First Generation Thunder Beast God.

Boom!

The previously hovering giant stone dropped straight down and returned to its place.

With a flick of his hand, the Flying Palace shrank rapidly and merged into the skin of Xiao Yu's arm.

"Restore Divine Body?"

An enemy must first break the palace's defense before it can strike the Xiao Yu inside.

"That's already 108 Treasures; it must have been over‑the‑top excitement."

"Offensive Treasure?"

"The Time‑Space King seems to be daydreaming."

"Haha, ever since becoming Immortal, I've felt those pyramids and space ships were getting insufficient; now I can finally upgrade them," Xiao Yu said, overjoyed.

An Initial-level Treasure cannot be destroyed even by ordinary Universe Overlords; even the Lord of the Universe must expend effort to damage it, so Xiao Yu's future travels are now assured.

Since the Treasure Land existed, no inheritor has ever obtained a second relic there.

"I wonder what treasure the Time‑Space King obtained?"

Like the Venerable Divine Armor Xiao Yu wears, which only shields his Divine Body from damage, this palace‑type artifact allows Xiao Yu to enter it wholly.

The born Beast God—every claw, scale, and drop of blood is a treasure—has long been hunted by countless races across the universe.

An hour later, indeed there was no extra gain.

Xiao Yu vanished from the summit, leaving the Treasure Land; perhaps he need not return here again.

News of Xiao Yu receiving a gift from the Ancestor God Sect and the treasure he obtained in the Treasure Land spread swiftly into the upper echelons of humanity.

Many newly befriended Universe Venerables came to congratulate him; Xiao Yu held a grand feast, inviting Luo Feng and Hong as well.

After the feast, the Chaos City Lord summoned Xiao Yu for a meeting.

At the summit of Thunder Island, within an endless vortex and a towering palace.

Xiao Yu materialized and respectfully said, "Master."

"You have obtained a Treasure?" the Chaos City Lord asked with a smile.

"Yes, Master. In the Treasure Land I obtained a Flying Palace-type Treasure, a relic of the First Generation Thunder Beast God," Xiao Yu replied truthfully, "The Beast God bestowed a Domain-type Treasure."

"The First Generation Thunder Beast God's was the Tianhua Silver Mystic Hall, right?" the Chaos City Lord smiled, "The Ancestor God Sect is truly generous—knowing you are the Human Race's most prized genius, they gifted you two Treasures, both extremely rare: a Domain-type Treasure and a Flying Palace-type Treasure."

"The First Generation Beast God, that is the born Beast God, his entire body is cosmic essence—truly all treasure. Since the first born Beast God fell, revealing to all races the myriad wondrous uses of his corpse, other born Beast Gods have been besieged and have fallen one after another," the Chaos City Lord lamented.

"In this universe, competition is eternal; even those of low realms compete, and even the Lord of the Universe competes," the Chaos City Lord continued, "Remember: the law of the strong is the law of survival of the fittest, which is also the Cosmic Operation Law."

"Before other peoples you are an 'Alien,' and no one shows mercy—only competition! So you must constantly acquire resources to strengthen yourself. Your strength represents your tribe's strength. A tribe's true power consists of a cadre of powerful elites at its upper echelons."

"Now that you have entered the high‑level council, you must remember this," the Chaos City Lord advised.

"Yes, disciple will remember," Xiao Yu replied respectfully, feeling the Chaos City Lord's care for him.

"You have been in the Ancestor God Sect for some time now; how is your cultivation?" the Chaos City Lord asked casually.

"Master, I have now begun cultivating the fourth tier of the Eight Great Beast Gods' inheritance. I have some ideas about integrating the Ten Fundamental Laws, though they are still vague. I estimate that once I complete the fourth tier, I can truly embark on the path of Fusion Principle cultivation," Xiao Yu said solemnly.

During these decades in the Ancestor God Sect, Xiao Yu has not only received the Beast God inheritance but also contemplated his own path.

"Hmm, having a direction is good," the Chaos City Lord nodded. He has little experience in integrating the Ten Fundamental Laws and can only offer some auxiliary assistance.

……

In the Zijing Island Residence.

Xiao Yu sat cross‑legged in the pavilion and began silent cultivation.

Ten years later, Xiao Yu rose, entered a World Ring, and using Wish Points, his Seven-colored Divine Power, and Wish Gold Coins forged an artifact—a weapon‑type artifact comparable to an Initial-level Treasure.

He then instant‑teleported to Island Lord Square, continuing to receive inheritance.

He then returned to the residence to continue his silent cultivation.

Thus, after each inheritance Xiao Yu would spend ten years in silent cultivation, digesting what he had gained and exploring the path on his own, before receiving the next inheritance to correct his way.

The reason for this arduous process is that Xiao Yu is accumulating experience for his own Ten Fundamental Laws Fusion path.

Treading an unprecedented road requires not only courage but also method; with no predecessors, one can only borrow methods from other paths—this is not a cultivation method but a trial‑and‑error correction method.

In this way, inheritance, silent cultivation, artifact forging, inheritance… repeat endlessly.

Three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.

Since beginning his secluded cultivation on Zijing Island, Xiao Yu often used the system to craft some magic treasures; over three hundred years, Xiao Yu crafted thirty magic treasures, all rated by the system as high-level magic treasures, including defensive-type magic treasures, offensive-type magic treasures, and soul-type magic treasures.

Even the lowest-grade of these magic treasures is equivalent to an Initial-level Treasure, and the best among them is equivalent to a Top-level Treasure.
