《Overlord in Cultivation》99. Plunder the Most Valuable Treasure
Advertisement
"What the hell is it? Where is it from?"
The crowd below who were ready to rob the treasures were dumbfounded!
A monster with blood all over its body suddenly jumped here with its tail entwining a golden bamboo. It smashed over an Eight-diagrams Furnace and caught at least eight treasures!
However, they could only stand by anxiously and do nothing, for they couldn't even get there. The energy the steps unleased was extremely violent, suppressing anyone trying to fly to the air!
Su Yan was also amazed. This golden bamboo was so special for it could even fend off the energy ripples of the Star!
"Su Yan! It's with Su Yan! Su Yan must be around here, find him!" growled Tong Huoyin with his face suddenly turning ferocious. He recognized the Eight-diagrams Furnace immediately, which should have been his treasure, but it was taken away by Su Yan forcibly!
He dashed forward with bloodshot eyes, trying to take back the Eight-diagrams Furnace!
However, Tong Huoyin was badly injured, and he screamed miserably after sprinting up just a few thousand meters for he was knocked down by the energy ripples emanated from the Star, smashing a crater with mud and blood spurting out together!
The people around all gasped, thinking that Tong Huoyin was so unlucky!
"Su Yan!"
Liu Chengtian and his companions almost slapped their thighs in excitement. It was too hard to take these treasures away. After all, it was Zu Yan who opened the palace. Besides, there were also a lot of Zu Yan's men here!
"Buzz!"
The golden bamboo glowed and suddenly began to shorten!
Su Yan stared at Zu Yan, who, eyes following the bamboo, also saw Su Yan!
They looked at each other across the air, and the killing intention released from them made this area creepy and chilly!
Su Yan was calm. He didn't retreat, because he didn't believe that Zu Yan would give up the Star to kill him.
"Boom!"
Now, the crowd under the stair was in a mess. All the masters were fighting fiercely for the various treasures falling from the giant palace. Although there were not much left, these were all legendary weapons!
"Everyone stop!" Saying that, Zu Yan conjured up a huge purple hand suppressing down from the sky and caught three treasures at once!
At this moment, Zu Yan was powerful and domineering. He stood majestically in front of the palace like a golden Warlord looking down on the world!
"Give it back to me!"
Zu Yan's palm spewed out tremendous purple divine light and moved over upon some old overmatches of the Huaxia College!
Fan Hong was holding a legendary saber excitedly! Though it was only a legendary weapon of medium class, it was much better than the one he owned. More importantly, there were even some divine lines engraved on this legendary weapon!

The palm created by Zu Yan's energy were pressing down, which made Fan Hong startled. He had never expected that Zu Yan would do this to him!
"Zu Yan! What are you doing?" Fan Hong was by no means good-tempered. The swarthy Fan Hong roared angrily, "It’s mine! What do you want to do? Rob me?"
"Excuse me? I opened this door. Who do you think these treasures belong to?” sneered Zu Yan with an aura vast and powerful. He looked majestic in front of the gate of the giant palace, with his cold eyes staring first at Fan Hong disdainfully then at Liu Chengtian.
Liu Chengtian also gained a furnace. He was very delightful, for this furnace could increase his success rate of elixir-refining, which was much better than his own. He estimated that soon he would be able to refine fourth-level elixirs.
The smile on Liu Chengtian's face slowly faded away. He said dignifiedly, "Zu Yan, you did open the door, but don't be so arbitrary! Besides, what are you going to do with this furnace?!"
Many young people's faces changed. Liu Chengtian had made great contribution to Huaxia Alliance and he often gave various resources to help those disciples with great talent. What’s more, he even widely recruited disciples, so more than half of the chemists in the entire Huaxia Alliance were trained by him!
Liu Chengtian just took a furnace. But now, Zu Yan actually wanted to take it by force, that was going too far.
"I must repeat that it was I who opened the door!"
Zu Yan was indifferent. He didn't want to talk nonsense with these old folks. Now that the mutation of the earth had completed preliminarily, and the Star was extremely easy for him to obtain, Zu Yan's ambition was infinitely awakened. He thought that it was time to control those who did not obey him!
He looked down on them with a condescending manner, just like they were slaves!
The expression in Zu Yan's eyes even made Tie Baocai angry, "Damn you! The earth will never allow such an arrogant human exist!"
"Zu Yan, you bossy wretch. You did open the door, but these treasures are ownerless. Now it flew out and Deputy Dean got it, how cheeky of you to take it as yours!" Su Yan said coldly, "You are going too far!"
Zu Yan's emotion became colder. He stared at Su Yan with killing aura gushing out uncontrollably. How he wished that he could cut Su Yan into pieces. Just now Tie Baocai had taken at least eight treasures!
But for the distance, he would have killed him.
"They are mine. Why can't I take them back? Whoever disagrees can come and challenge me!" Zu Yan sneered, taking a hard line and overlooking everyone with an indifferent face.
"Su Yan, stop!" Liu Chengtian threw the furnace away. Meanwhile, Fan Hong's face changed dramatically. He gritted his teeth and also threw the saber away.

This scene caused a chaos all around. Some people clenched their fists as they looked at Liu Chengtian who seemed to have aged in a flash. They did revere Zu Yan, but they also respected Liu Chengtian. What Zu Yan had done went too far.
"Damn it! How dare him!" Tie Baocai raged, "Just wait and see. I will find out where your nest is, and I will destroy it."
The atmosphere was a little tense, except Zu Yan's men who laughed complacently. This was their leader, the No.1 overmatch of Huaxia Alliance. Who dared not to obey?
"Great!" Zu Yan changed the topic, "When the treasure-hunting in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is over, I will reward everyone for your efforts. Liu Chengtian, for the effort you have made, maybe I'll give you one!"
Liu Chengtian became furious, his face turning livid. How could Liu Chengtian bear such pitiful tone and condescending gesture? After all, he, Liu Chengtian, was the No.1 chemist in Huaxia Alliance!
No matter who Liu Chengtian was, Zu Yan would show no mercy to anyone who dared to oppose him. Besides, Liu Chengtian and other older generations would be his obstacles in the future, so he didn't care to be polite to these people!
Zu Yan turned his head domineeringly, and looked at the Star!
He must take away the Star to enter the giant palace.
"No arrogant man like him is allowed in the earth!" Tie Baocai stared at Zu Yan's back like a hungry wolf. He said, "Get ready, I'm going to rob the Star!"
"With Zu Yan's strength, we can hardly stop him." Su Yan frowned and then said, "Even if we join hands with Deputy Dean Liu Chengtian and his companions, we do not stand a chance at all!"
"Hum, we don't need to deal with such a guy above board!"
What Tie Baocai had said made Su Yan wordless. When had this guy ever been aboveboard?
"Wait and see. I'll wake him up and let him know who's the best!"
Tie Baocai and Su Yan murmured to each other, trying to figure a feasible way. Both of them didn't want Zu Yan to get the Star. But it was too difficult to rob the Star under Zu Yan’s eyes.
"Boom!"
A series of loud noises broke out at the gate of the giant palace. Under the shocking eyes of all, Zu Yan took out a glittering silver chain, which was like a silver divine whip, emitting a dazzling and bright silver luster!
The luster of stars twined around this silver chain, making Tie Baocai jealous at once. Though it was also a legendary weapon, it was different. Craved out from stars iron, it was extremely solid with much room for future improvement!
Although there were lots of treasures flying out from the palace, most of them were ordinary legendary weapons.
"He is so fucking rich, we must raid him!" Tie Baocai fumed, drooling again.
Everyone was looking unblinkingly at Zu Yan. He waved the silver chain just like waving a silver evil dragon, unleashing numerous star radiance that eclipsed the stars!
"Crack!"
The purgatory of energy that fell automatically from the Star was torn apart by the silver chain!
"The Star is mine!"
Zu Yan's aura burst out completely. He wielded the silver chain to get the Star at a tremendous speed!
The heaven and earth were clanging.
Liu Chengtian and others raged. Once Zu Yan got this treasure, they had no idea how arrogant he would be in the future.
"He wants to bind the treasure with the silver chain and pull it down!"
Someone discovered Zu Yan's intention. This silver chain, like an evil dragon, quickly wrapped the entire Star!
The Star quivered violently as Zu Yan pulled it with all his strength. It was slowly pulled down by Zu Yan's power!
"Hahaha!"
Zu Yan laughed out loud. He had never expected to get this treasure so easily.
With the strength of the Star, he needed extremely powerful spatial treasure to store it. But he didn’t have one on hand, so he could only drag it back with the silver chain and refine it into a peerless weapon in the future.
"What a powerful Star!"
Zu Yan was trembling with excitement. The Star was getting closer and closer to him, and he could feel the divine power within it, which, once broke out, would be devastating!
"Boom!"
Just then, bursts of sky-cracking energy broke out.
Su Yan awoke to his strongest state with the fierce power of real dragon flowing through his body!
Under the petrified gaze all around, Su Yan wielded a big bronze tripod and threw it violently towards the Star!
They were stupefied. What could this shabby bronze tripod do?
Somebody expected to watch the bronze tripod being smashed into pieces. However, beyond everyone’s expectation, it enlarged rapidly and swallowed the Star like a big mountain falling down!
"Fuck! You’re courting death."
Zu Yan's face changed drastically. He waved his fist as fast as lightning and hit against the bronze tripod!
"Damn you! You arrogant asshole! How dare you to show off yourself in front of me, the great beast god!”
Tie Baocai squatted inside the bronze tripod laughing contemptuously as Zu Yan punched frantically at the bronze tripod. Yet the tripod was safe and sound, not a bit affected by the attack, which made Zu Yan's face extremely sullen!

My second life in a fantasy world
Important Announcement: English is not my first language, sorry for the mistakes After living a long life on earth, it was finally time to leave, bedridden in a hospital, surrounded by a large family, between sobs and sad goodbye glances, bearing many memories, some good, some bad, funny moments, sad moments, happy moments, tragic moments, I finally closed my eyes and plunged into the abyss of darkness and what awaited me on the other side was ... An old ex-mercenary hungry for adventure is reincarnated in a world of swords and magic, with no trap powers, just his own strength, wits, and outlandish friends. P.S.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
