Chapter 1663: A Little Trick

“Lonely Peak’s treasury… Can it be accessed with just the key? Or does the key have to be used at specific coordinates to open it?” Lin Huang gave a malicious smile.

“The space isn’t anchored to a set point; anyone can open it as long as they have the key,” Yang Ling explained, a touch resignedly. “Right now the key is bound to Spy’s Goldfinger.

“Apart from necessary items, Lonely Peak seems to have put almost all of his collections in there. I have a feeling he might not be very confident about achieving a successful breakthrough. That’s why he left a back door for himself. As soon as the breakthrough failed, he would reincarnate immediately, then have Black Mountain and Spy locate his reincarnation. By doing this, his reincarnated self would be able to directly inherit everything he left behind once he obtained the key. He also wouldn’t need to expend a great deal of effort to specify a particular set of coordinates.”

“Which means to say we can directly access his treasury right now?” Lin Huang’s eyes lit up.

“We could, but…” Yang Ling was clearly concerned.

“No buts, just open it right away.”

“Listen to me first.” Yang Ling still felt he needed to explain exactly where the problem lay.

“First of all, Lonely Peak very likely has some sort of setup on the treasury or the key. At the very least, if the treasury is accessed, he’d definitely sense it. Otherwise, if Spy stole something, he wouldn’t even know. He won’t have let his guard down entirely with Spy.

“Secondly, there’s almost certainly a safeguard mechanism in the treasury. We have absolutely no idea what kind of traps Lonely Peak might have left in there. However, given his personality, whatever methods he used ought to be able to kill an upper-rank Lord easily.”

Lin Huang nodded slightly to express his agreement.

“The first problem you mentioned—Lonely Peak sensing someone opening the treasury—isn’t a problem at all. We’ve already killed Black Mountain, and we’ve obtained Lonely Peak’s treasury key. That’s already a grudge. Whether or not he knows we’ve accessed his treasury won’t affect his determination to kill us.”

In the face of Lin Huang’s rebuttal, Yang Ling was rendered somewhat speechless.

Since Lonely Peak already had a grudge against the two of them, one more thing would not affect matters in the least. Stealing one of his treasures would certainly not make any difference.

“As for the traps he left in the treasury, that’s certainly a problem, but it’s not something that can’t be solved…” An idea suddenly popped into Lin Huang’s mind.

“You can use a clone to try instead of going in yourself, but it’s not entirely safe either.” Yang Ling saw that Lin Huang had stopped speaking and guessed that he might have been intending to use a clone. “Lonely Peak is sure to have thought of every possible situation, so he probably won’t have overlooked this. Whatever he set up might be able to kill one’s Primordial form directly through its clone.

“I think the wisest thing to do is to leave this great world temporarily and avoid the arrival of the Raiders’ investigators,” Yang Ling paused and put forward his suggestion anyway.

Even though he knew Lin Huang possessed sufficient ability to kill Black Mountain and Spy, Yang Ling still felt he would not stand a chance if he were to face down the Raider’s investigators.

“Don’t get so worried first. If, as you say, the universe’s oath of alliance has sufficient restrictions to prevent ultimate-rank Lords from coming here, then I have ways to deal with things.”

“What ways? Are you going to get the Club’s upper-rank Lords to help?” Yang Ling persisted

Seeing that Lin Huang did not reply, he continued.

“I kept rejecting the Club’s invitation back in the day because I knew there were spies in their midst. Furthermore, there are a considerable number of them.

“Don’t put too much trust in any assistance from the Club. If you really do ask them to help, we have no way at all of confirming whether the assistants we get are Raider spies or not.”

“I have another plan that has nothing to do with the Club.” Lin Huang was very much aware that Yang Ling had a great deal of psychological trauma regarding the Raiders. Even though Spy was now dead, the crippling fear he felt for the Raiders had not receded by very much.

Seeing that Lin Huang was still unwilling to disclose his plan, Yang Ling did not pursue the matter any further.

After all, with his current ability, he could not participate in lord-level battles at all.

“If I’m absolutely certain my plan won’t work, I’ll consider your suggestion and leave this great world.” Lin Huang patted Yang Ling’s shoulder.

After their conversation ended, Lin Huang returned to the Ricky Star again.

He sat down on the sofa in the hotel living room and took out the six storage rings that belonged to Black Mountain and the others. He then checked through each of them.

It did not take him long to make a list of the items he could upload onto Royal’s auction platform.

The first thing he noticed in the storage rings were dead bodies.

This was because what he needed most now was the Kingdoms in the bodies of Lords.

However, most of these bodies were carcasses of heavenly god-level monsters. There were only ten or so Lords, and only two of them had not had their God Territories removed.

Lin Huang immediately put away the two Lords’ bodies in his storage ring.

Apart from corpses, there were a total of forty-eight Dao Weapons. Of these forty-eight, thirty-seven were low-grade Dao Weapons, and only eleven of them were intermediate-grade Dao Weapons. There was not a single expert-grade Dao Weapon.

Although Lin Huang was slightly disappointed, he had expected this.

Dao Weapons were different from god sequence relics. They were the same in that the higher the grade, the more powerful they were. However, the more Dao tattoos there were, the greater the consumption of Odylic Force to activate the Dao Weapon. With Black Mountain and the rest’s ability, since they had only consolidated twenty to thirty Dao seals, intermediate-grade Dao Weapons were fully sufficient for their use and were the most convenient weapons to utilize. Not only would more powerful expert-grade Dao Weapons accelerate Odylic Force consumption significantly, but their power would also not experience a significant boost.

Within the storage rings were also hundreds of bottles of elixirs with different effects. They were exclusively used by lord-level powerhouses.

There were some elixirs that could temporarily boost one’s God’s soul’s strength and some that could increase the ferocity of one’s Odylic Force…

There were also some precious mineral stones and medicinal materials. Lin Huang even noticed quite a few elevation materials for his imperial monsters.

Apart from these, the rest were miscellaneous items.

Among these miscellaneous items, Lin Huang even discovered several runes.

These runes had temporary Dao seals sealed within them. When they were activated, one could temporarily utilize the Dao seal’s power.

Lin Huang considered for a moment, then uploaded all thirty-seven low-grade Dao Weapons on the auction page. The trading condition he set was, “Only accepting lower-rank Lords’ God Territories, including God Territories of Abyssal tribes, the Bug Tribe or any other tribes.

The auction was set for a duration of 24 hours.

Based on what Yang Ling had said, the Raiders would have to expend some time going through the necessary processes required by Royal so they could send their investigators here. However, if the process was swift, it could be completed in one or two days. He could not afford any delays.

After setting up the list on Royal’s auction page, Lin Huang did not waste any more time.

He passed through the gate to the virtual realm and entered the virtual realm cabin once more.

This time, his main objective for entering the virtual realm was not to refine the God Territories he had retrieved from the two Lords’ bodies earlier.

After sitting down in the middle of the virtual realm cabin with his legs crossed, he took out the Nirvana Trees one by one from the God Territory within him.

This was the loot he had obtained from the Abyss with Virtuoso and the others.

The Nirvana Trees were derived from the death spring. Once they were refined, they would be able to appropriate massive amounts of cultivation resources from the death spring.

Previously, Nine Gloom had used the Nirvana Trees as filters to appropriate the energy of the death spring.

However, that was not Lin Huang’s purpose this time in bringing out the Nirvana Trees. Instead, he planned to refine these trees into his clone by using the secret skill he learned from Nine Gloom.

If he were killed, the clone could be used as a death substitute.

This was the little trick he had only just thought of using for exploring Lonely Peak’s treasures.
