Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“Stout, why didn’t you take the shelves too?” Judge asked, slightly twitching his mouth.

“The storage ring doesn’t have much space left. We need room for other treasures!” Stout replied earnestly.

The group then proceeded to enter the other three rooms.

As expected, aside from beast cores, the other rooms contained some extremely valuable natural treasures.

Stout wasn’t very interested in the beast cores and only selected a few Perceiving Dao Realm level beast cores, ignoring the rest.

As for the natural treasures, he collected all of them into his storage ring without exception.

Notably, there were quite a few of the four main ingredients needed to refine Sky-Splitting Pills, enough to make dozens of them.

“The treasures here seem untouched. It looks like those who invaded the City of the Dead back then weren’t after wealth,” Soul Chaser remarked.

“Obviously!” Judge nodded.

“Boss, should we check upstairs?” White Tiger asked Billy.

“Yes,” Billy nodded.

Soon, they reached the second floor.

The layout was different from the first floor; it was a large open space with several rows of weapon racks neatly arranged, holding various weapons.

Swords, spears, sabers, halberds, axes, hooks, whips, hammers, and more were all present.

The group moved to the sword area and examined the weapons’ levels, feeling a bit disappointed.

They were only two or three levels higher than the swords held by Azure Dragon and Bob’s group.

However, every little bit counts. Azure Dragon’s group each picked a suitable new sword.

Aubree chose a high-level whip that could likely boost her combat power by two levels.

Next, they headed to the third floor.

In the center was a circular open space about four or five hundred square meters in size, surrounded by bookshelves holding hundreds of ancient texts.

These ancient texts were divided into two categories: Martial Arts Ancient Books and Heart Sutra Ancient Books summarized by martial arts experts.

The group first browsed through the martial arts books. Aside from some Blade Technique Books, the rest weren’t suitable for their training.

Among the Blade Technique Books, there were a few Heaven Dao Realm techniques, but they weren’t very appealing compared to Heavenly Fury Slash and Five Elements Blade Dance.

Meanwhile, Stout spent some time looking through the Fist Technique Books but found nothing of significant value.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“This Domain Lord’s Mansion was once the strongest force in a third-tier star domain. How come it has so little to offer?” Stout pouted. “Had I known, I wouldn’t have come!”

“Stout, you’re just too wealthy to appreciate this!” Azure Fang retorted.

“At least a third of these are Heaven Dao Realm techniques. For most warriors in this star domain, these are priceless treasures!”

“I don’t care!” Stout responded again.

After a brief pause, he seemed to think of something.

He then began to sweep all the ancient books from the shelves into his storage ring.

“Stout, what are you doing? Didn’t you say you didn’t care?” Black Tortoise asked puzzledly.

“Azure Fang said it. Just because we don’t care doesn’t mean others won’t. I can sell them for some money!” Stout shrugged.

“According to Natasha, there should be a Five Elements Realm in this Domain Lord’s Mansion. We don’t know where it is though,” Casey pondered aloud.

“Oh right!” Stout perked up. “There must be better treasures inside!”

“Don’t get too excited. We don’t even know where the Five Elements Realm is,” Azure Dragon poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

Stout’s mouth twitched. “Boss, did Natasha tell you where the Five Elements Realm is?”

“Even David Roth probably doesn’t know where it is. How would she?” Billy replied.

“Alright then,” Stout pouted again.

“Look at this,” Harleen said from the center of the open space, looking up.

Hearing her, everyone gathered around and looked up at the circular ceiling.

About seven or eight meters above their heads floated a faintly visible Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Diagram, slowly rotating.

“What is that?” Judge couldn’t help but ask.

“Who knows!” Soul Chaser shrugged beside him.

“A Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Diagram. Could this be the entrance to the Five Elements Realm?” White Tiger speculated.

“Very likely!” Frostblade replied.

Casey and the others also showed expressions of agreement.

“According to Natasha, the entrance to the Five Elements Realm requires five Five Elements Magic Stones to open. There’s no place to put Magic Stones here though,” Judge said.

“If this really is the entrance, there should be a corresponding mechanism on this floor. Let’s search around,” Casey suggested.

“Alright!” The group responded and spread out to search.

The third floor was much smaller than the first and second floors, about a thousand square meters. It took only a few minutes for them to search it thoroughly but found nothing.

“Billy, can you sense any formation lines here?” Ivy asked Billy after they regrouped in the center open space.

“Yes,” Billy nodded. “Faintly, not very clear. Give me a few minutes!”

He then released his spiritual power to envelop the entire third floor.

“Ivy, the array eye is on the left side’s third bookshelf. Go ahead!” Billy said solemnly after about five minutes.

“Got it!” Ivy responded and enveloped the bookshelf with her spiritual power.

Then, with a flick of her wrist, a sword light flashed out.

The bookshelf broke apart with a sound.

As the array was broken, five graphite-like pillars slowly rose from the floor in the center open space, stopping at about one meter high.

The group saw that each pillar had a square groove at its top end.

“Damn, there really was an array set up!” Soul Chaser exclaimed.

“Stout, put the Five Elements Magic Stones in and see what happens!” Opal suggested to Stout.

“Alright!” Stout responded and took out the Five Elements Magic Stones from his storage ring, placing them one by one into the grooves.

In an instant, a powerful aura burst forth, filling every corner of the third floor. Judge and Soul Chaser shivered slightly due to their lower cultivation levels.

Next, a circular beam of light descended from the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Diagram on the ceiling and began rotating with it.

“Is this a teleportation channel?” Stout wondered aloud.

“We’ll know if we try!” White Tiger replied and threw a book into the light beam.

As soon as the book entered the beam, it was sucked up and disappeared from sight.

“It really is!” Judge exclaimed.

“Let’s go in and take a look!” Billy said and led the group into the light beam one by one.
