《Overlord in Cultivation》9. Mountain Treasure
Advertisement
It was quiet again before the Weapon Chamber. The students had not recovered from the shock. Su Yan’s strength surprised them and Pai Mengying's choice blew them away. They had never thought Pai would choose Su Yan over Hsiang Yang.
The powerful strength of Pai and Hsiang, both of whom had broken through to the Destiny Spring Realm and were certain to join Huashia College after the Examine, made them both envy and jealous.
Su Yan had learnt one thing from his conversation with Pai that the Natural Essence was getting more powerful and prosperous after the Earth underwent change of more than 100 years.
Its volume had doubled in the past 3 years. The alteration of cultivating environment had led to the rise of many powerful talents from each college. Once they grew up, they would comprise of the backbone of Huashia Alliance!
With more and more Natural Essence, one could advance faster on the journey of martial arts. However, no one was certain what the Earth would become in the future.
“There’s always someone better than us. Some geniuses have more than hundreds of horsepower in the Premier Realm. Their strength will be more horrifying when they reach the Destiny Spring Realm.”
Pai Mengying smiled. When these young talents all come to Huashia College, real competition would begin. She would be one of them too!
Hundreds of horsepower? Su Yan found it horrifying already. It looked like 100 horsepower was the weakest among the top talents.
“It’s a good thing for me that the Examine is delayed.”
Because there were quite a few students had reached the Destiny Spring Realm, Huashia College decided to send teachers to invigilate in each college, but they did not have enough teachers to do it at the same time, so the big exam in Frozen College was postponed.
“Mengying, thank you for telling me so much. I wish your dream come true. I should leave now.” Su Yan said his goodbye.
“Su Yan, fighting!”
The setting sun spread its light over Pai’s curved figure. She put on a pure smile, so radiant that she attracted all the boys’ eyes.
Su Yan straightened up, tilted his head to one side, stopped for a while and said, “I will.”
Pai beamed with joy. She crossed her hand together and whispered in her heart, “Su Yan, I really hope you will keep up with me.”
Su Yan went back to his dorm heavy-heartedly. He digested the new information learnt from his talk with Pai and gradually formed a comprehensive understanding of the current society.
“Earth is so tiny compared to the vast universe, but is it the only planet with life? If God & Devil Civilization existed before, it should not be difficult for the strong one to explore the space.”

“The change on Earth is accelerating. I must continue my hard working, or I will be left behind and never have the chance to catch up.”
He went silent, remembering that he had gone to the Everest for consecutive three years trying to reveal his origin but that he mysteriously appeared here 100 years later with endless puzzles to solve.
He got a bit confused and then determined. “If I can’t handle Tao Tianhua today, how do I earn the right to talk to Zu Yan?”
He closed his eyes. In order to get stronger, he must absorb a lot more Natural Essence.
But he did not use the Original Essential Stone any more. It did not contain much energy now, so it had to be reserved for emergency.
Time passed day by day. Whispers of talents breaking through to the Destiny Realm in each college went viral in Base 9, even news was reported that Huashia Alliance ushered in the period of high-speed development and that more and more strong talents would emerge.
“Great, the Examine has been put off for 3 whole months!”
“Then I’ll have more time and have more chance to join a better institution.”
The announcement of delaying the Examine for another 3 months in the Frozen College stirred up excitement screams from the students. Time was so precious at this critical period of time.
“Damn it. Why has it been put off for such long time?”
Hsiang Yang’t face turned pale. His rise to fame was postponed for 3 months, how could he be pleased?
“Boom!”
When the night fell, thundering roars of beasts burst out from the mountains surrounded Base 9, swaying the buildings there and scaring its residents as if there was an earthquake.
Su Yan jumped from his bed right off. He was not frightened by the beast roaring but startled by the burning Dragon Token.
“What!”
He was surprised with delight. The Token was much hotter than the time it had led him to find the Original Essential Stone!
What kind of precious treasure did it find this time? No matter what it was, it must be powerful than the Stone, he guessed.
He went out of his dorm and saw a lot of students standing below the dormitory building. He heard countless roars from the mountains, seeming a huge wave of beasts were ready to attack.
Base 9 was in big mess. Armies rushed to the city gates in case of an attack.
“Guys, look, what’s that?”
Bright rays glittered from the wildness region, interweaved with each other and lit up the night sky.

Thousands of beasts raced toward the rays, shaking the minds of the viewers.
Countless beasts gave out horrifying roars as if they wanted to turn this area upside down.
“A treasure coming into the world?”
Su Yan clenched his fists. The change of the Dragon Token must have something to do with what happened now in the wildness region, and it must be an extremely powerful treasure if it could wake the Dragon Token hundreds of miles away.
“Boom!”
Strong energy exploded. Three horrific beasts came into sight. They were like three monster gods exerting heinous pressure all over others.
“Beast king! There are three of them!”
“There must be a mountain treasure in Wildness 024, an extraordinary heavenly material or earthly treasure. Send the message to Huashia City immediately.”
Such a scene held even the strongest soldiers in awe. The beast king was equivalent to the top strong man, and they saw three of them at one time. Sometimes heavenly material or earthly treasure would be found in mountains, but this time it must be the most valuable one.
So the top talents of Huashia Alliance must be informed to keep it from the beasts.
“Base 9, what a surprising place!”
Even Tao Tianhua couldn’t resist such a huge tempt. A mountain treasure that attracted 3 beast kings to fight with their lives must be priceless. He had seen such similar treasures and some of them had incredible effects.
“Mountain treasure, beast kings……”
“Such powerful beast kings should be able to kill me so easily as if I am an ant.”
Su Yan stared at the wildness region in bitterness. Though the Dragon Token could locate the mountain treasure, it would be suicide if he tried to kill for it now. What a pity!
It was an unrest night. Strong talents from Huashia City kept rushing to Base 9.
Until they came, the fierce fighting was stopped and the situation was stabled. Still quite a many unlucky men were killed by the beast army.
The next day, the mountain treasure disappeared. No one knew whose hands it fell into.
“Boom!”
The fighting in the wildness region escalated. Men and beasts had not always get along, so the beast kings suspected the treasure was taken by men.
“Who on earth has taken it?”
Su Yan’s Dragon Token rested in peace now. He wondered, and the students talked and discussed. Such fight was not rare, nearly once in every 6 months. Under the current situation, valuable treasures were extremely precious, thus both men and beasts could not afford to lose!
The fight lasted until night. The three beast kings were injured and escaped deep into the wildness region where even the strong humans dared not to intrude.
Armies retreated to their bases, yet discussions in Base 9 were never died away. Everyone tried to figure out what the treasure was.
Tao Tianhua was not happy. Who got the treasure? He did not know. What he knew was that it was missing, a top treasure that was many times precious than the Original Essential Stone was missing!
“Alas, it’s not mine to have.”
Su Yan went back to his dorm with a long face. He had a treasure hunter, yet he was not strong enough to fight for.
“Well, maybe I should go to the wildness region tomorrow morning. It should not be a problem to find something more valuable than the Original Essential Stone, I guess.” He talked to himself secretly.
Everything was quiet during the night.
Rays of light covered all over Su Yan’s flesh body in which his Qi and blood boiled. With his practicing of the Premier Indescription getting more skilled, waves of impact emitted from inside out.
His blood, flesh, skin, bones and organs, under the nourishment of the Natural Essence, strengthened in a rapid speed.
In the Waking Realm, one had to refine his flesh body to an extent that was strong enough to activate the Destiny Spring and then leveled up to the Destiny Spring Realm.
“Em?”
Su Yan suddenly opened his with a hint of joy. The Dragon Token once again heated up just like the night before.
“No, the treasure is still there.”
He got off the bed at once and excitedly looked at wildness region through the window.
“What shall I do? It’s still in Wildness 024. The beast kings may still wait there, including some beast lords. Only those in the Destiny Spring Realm can survive there.”
“If I go, there’s great possibility I’ll be dead.”
He took a deep breath. Should he give up after he discovered the truth? That was a top treasure that both men and beasts would fight their lives for!
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I have to try.”
He clenched his hands and made up his mind. “Practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current. I can’t give up such great opportunity. I am coming, Wildness 024!”
Practicing through Killing!
