Exiting the treasure chamber, Ye Chen's figure flickered, vanishing into the distance. Sensing the Sky Beast Superman Mode still had over 60 seconds left, he instantly teleported, frantically sweeping through the remaining treasures.

The entirety of the Heavenly Witch Mountain seemed to have transformed into his personal garden.

"Hmm?" Ye Chen’s eyes suddenly focused. Relying on his spatial sense, he detected a tiny patch of crimson-gold grass about 78 kilometers to the east, rooted in a slab of obsidian-black rock. No other flora grew near it, nor above it; all plant life seemed to orbit it as a central point.

Most remarkably, this tiny blade of grass possessed nine leaves, each enveloped by a swirling golden aura, vaguely resembling nine golden dragons coiling around the grass, shielding it within.

"Dragon Sorrow Grass!" Ye Chen’s body jolted, his blood surging violently towards his head as if flowing backward. An unprecedented excitement flooded his heart. He swiftly moved, rushing over until he stood before the mature Dragon Sorrow Grass. Gazing at its exquisitely beautiful and crystalline form, his body trembled slightly.

"If only..."

"If only..."

That spectral white figure, like a faint, ethereal orchid fragrance, flashed through his mind. He clenched his fist and quickly activated his Rune Space, urging the old man in the green rune suit to clear a spot. Then, with a sweep of his hand, he retrieved the Slaying Battle Saber and brought it down upon the rock beneath the Dragon Sorrow Grass.

Clang!

The Slaying Battle Saber vibrated slightly. Ye Chen, gripping the hilt, felt his hand go numb near the tiger's mouth, the impact jarring him. He inwardly started, frowning as he looked at the obsidian rock.

He pondered for a moment, sheathing the Slaying Battle Saber. He then took out the giant axe divine artifact from within his Rune Space. The axe felt as heavy as a mountain; he needed to focus all his strength just to hold it. Gritting his teeth, he raised the axe high and roared, bringing it down in a ferocious swing!

Boom!

The myriad Law Patterns inscribed on the giant axe uncoiled like intricate scrolls, converging at the axe blade, cleaving through the rock and shearing off a large section.

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this obsidian rock was not part of the Heavenly Witch Mountain's core. If it were, its hardness would surely rival that of a peak divine artifact; trying to scratch it, let alone cleave it, would have been impossible.

He carefully placed the severed piece of obsidian rock, along with the Dragon Sorrow Grass, into the deepest storage compartment of the Rune Spaceship.

Little Black and the old man in the green rune suit were somewhat subdued. Even when Ye Chen acquired divine artifacts, he casually tossed them into the ship, but now he treated this small grass with such profound reverence, indicating that this grass far surpassed the value of those artifacts!

After securing the Dragon Sorrow Grass, Ye Chen felt the Sky Beast Superman Mode had only about 20 seconds remaining. He instantly darted into the Rune Spaceship and teleported away toward other areas.

Soon, 20 seconds elapsed. Ye Chen finally stopped in a relatively safe location, far from any Divine Beasts, in an environment that was serene and secluded, unlikely to attract visitors.

As the Sky Beast Superman Mode ended, a crushing wave of fatigue washed over his mind, making his entire consciousness drowsy, his physical reserves severely depleted.

Ye Chen quickly retrieved some elixirs obtained from the Heavenly Dao Mountain, swallowing them to restore his stamina. Only then did he relax, secretly thankful that he had encountered that Ghost God Realm Sky Beast; otherwise, he wouldn't have amassed such wealth, which was necessary for finding Bai Yijun even after arriving on the Ancient Continent.

Everything seemed preordained by fate...

Ye Chen felt a pang of melancholy. In reality, the Sky Beast Superman Mode was extremely rare. Some powerhouses obtained Sky Beast scales, but by then, they already possessed a Superman Mode and could not merge a second one.

Moreover, the suitability of the Sky Beast genes depended on the strength of the Sky Beast itself.

If a Pseudo-God martial artist attempted to merge the genes of a God-level Sky Beast, they would simply explode and die.

After resting briefly, Ye Chen impatiently opened the Rune Space, closed the external view, and settled within the Rune Spaceship to begin taking inventory of his spoils.

"After sweeping through this entire area, roughly eight or nine tenths of the treasures within the Heavenly Witch Mountain are here. The remaining items are in dangerous locations guarded by Super Divine Beasts, making them nearly impossible to steal; approaching them immediately triggers spatial lockdown."

Ye Chen instructed Little Black to organize the treasures and display them before him.

Among these treasures, the three most conspicuous items were the Seven-Colored Divine Sword, the Bronze Giant Axe, and a jade-green circular disc resembling a flying saucer.

The aura emanating from these three objects was breathtaking, causing dryness in the throat and an overwhelming sense of shock.

"A massive haul!!"

"Wahaha..."

"Ooh, so many! This fruit smells so fragrant..."

Little Black, the old man in the green rune suit, Kabba, and the others gathered around.

"Little Chen-Chen, I can tell you’re a good person. Give this fruit to me. Look how romantic and dashingly handsome you are..." The old man in the green rune suit rubbed his hands, his mouth watering profusely.

Ye Chen shot him a side-eye. "Inventory first."

Ignoring Little Black and the others, he began the inventory process from the start. The spaceship’s built-in appraisal system could provide information on these weapons. Since the Rune Spaceship was a Divine Spirit vessel, despite the interference from the Heavenly Witch Mountain, its signal reception was formidable, capable of receiving aerial appraisal signals to identify weapons remotely.

Across the entire Ancient Continent, there was an transcendent force that established signal towers in major cities. Any spaceship equipped with an appraisal system could remotely assess any object upon detecting the signal.

"Heavenly Dragon Axe: Legend says it originated from the hands of the Heavenly Dragon people of the Great Yu Civilization. It was forged using the essence blood and bone marrow of nine divine dragons, combined with the Scarlet Nether Bronze from the South Sea, and quenched with the Ice Water of the Demon Sea. A low-tier Divine Artifact, it is imprinted with a set of Gold element 'Break' Laws, possessing peerless might!"

"Heaven Mending Sword: Originating from the hands of Empress Wa of the Spiritual Civilization. Forged from the Heaven Mending Divine Stone of the Wa Empress’s world, it contains mysterious power, its might unfathomable. A low-tier Divine Artifact, imprinted with a set of Earth element 'Firmness' Laws!"

Upon seeing the second weapon, Ye Chen froze.

"Spiritual Civilization? Empress Wa?"

"In this Ancient World, there are ancestors of the Spiritual Civilization?"

Ye Chen was utterly bewildered.

Recalling carefully...

The trajectory of history involved the extinction of the Dinosaur Civilization, followed by migration into the Ancient World. Six hundred million years later, the Spiritual Civilization was born, beginning with the great god Pangu, followed by Empress Wa, Shennong, Fuxi, and a string of other ancient figures.

According to the records from ruins viewed in his previous life:

These figures were world-shaking powerhouses who foresaw the future early on. They migrated into the Ancient World, leaving behind an avatar with limited power, solely to spread the hope of civilization and the seed of the spirit on Earth, leading the ordinary people of the Spiritual Civilization.

For any civilization, power is never the primary factor.

The core characteristics of that civilization are what matter.

The Spiritual Civilization was called such because, according to one scientist from the 21st Century Science Bureau, humanity, referred to as the Spiritual or Emotional Civilization, was destined to truly awaken 200 years later.

At that time, the mysterious energy within the brain would fully awaken, allowing everyone to wield their own energy, similar to the Superpower Civilization, capable of soaring freely through the skies using only their physical bodies.

However, the apocalypse occurred in 2013.

Originally, the Mayan Calendar predicted the end of the world on December 21, 2012, but for reasons unknown, the timeline deviated, leaving people perplexed.

"Could it be that thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Spiritual Civilization already arrived on the Ancient Continent?"

"Just what kind of powerhouse was Empress Wa to be able to craft a low-tier Divine Artifact!"

"This is a Divine Artifact!"

Ye Chen felt a tremor in his heart. He looked at the Heaven Mending Sword, his eyes flickering slightly, before finally setting the sword aside. Thoughts churned in his mind. He let out a soft sigh and proceeded to appraise the circular disc below.

This jade disc was about the size of a palm, crystal clear, with numerous light spots slowly flowing across its surface, as if the entire universe revolved around it—a spectacle of overwhelming beauty.

"Imitation Universe Disc (Triple Grade): Forged using 99 scales from the Ethereal Beasts and 99 scales from the Time Dao Beasts, integrating the essence of time and space, melted with the Yin energy from the Hell Civilization and the Yang energy from the Heaven Civilization. A spatial Domain-Type Divine Artifact, containing the Primordial Universe Spacetime Domain!"

A Domain-Type Divine Artifact!

Ye Chen stood frozen for a long moment. Once he reacted, an ineffable ecstasy flooded his heart. He trembled with excitement, his blood boiling, rendering him speechless.

A Domain-Type weapon, after all, could rival ten spaceships of the same rank!

In other words, this single Imitation Universe Disc was worth a hundred Heaven Mending Swords!

"A Domain-Type weapon?" Kabba was astonished upon seeing the information on the appraisal platform.

"Huh?" Little Black frowned in confusion. "Why is it an imitation, and why is it triple grade?"

Kabba smacked his head. "Idiot, you don't even know that? It means the genuine Universe Disc exists in this world. Tsk tsk, even an imitation of this thing is at the God Spirit level! And it's a triple-grade imitation. I wonder what level a double-grade imitation would be!"

"Imitations are graded?" Little Black rubbed his head, frowning.

Kabba spoke leisurely, "Of course. You wouldn't understand this. Imitations have several levels. Some items have five or six grades of imitations. Since this Universe Disc is a triple-grade imitation, it means there are a double-grade and a single-grade above it!"

"Each level is stronger than the last!"

"One can only imagine what a supreme treasure the original Universe Disc must be, tsk tsk! Forget it, talking to a beast like you is pointless. Go play somewhere else, kid, don't interrupt the elder's appreciation."

"Appreciate your sister!"

"I don't have a sister."

"...Why don't you just die!"

"I'm already dead, haven't you noticed I'm in soul form?"

"..."

Ye Chen ignored the squabbling pair and directly put away the Imitation Universe Disc. After examining it closely for a moment, he tucked it inside his clothes, keeping it close to his body. This item was too precious, its value beyond his current comprehension. It was likely the finest treasure in the entire Heavenly Witch Mountain.

After appraising these three Divine Artifacts, Ye Chen’s gaze drifted to the remaining items. He found 38 sets of peak Pseudo-God armor sets and 16 sets of high-grade Pseudo-God armor sets!

There were also 28 peak Pseudo-God weapons!

It seemed the treasures within the Heavenly Witch Mountain did not fall below the high-grade Pseudo-God level.

"Hm?" Ye Chen's gaze suddenly landed on a black talisman among the pile of weapons.
