Chapter 177 Moving-Style Sleepwalking: The Lin Family Ancestor's Dao Heart Collapses
"This pillow... is quite hard, but it smells good."
Jiang Chen mumbled in his sleep, his entire projected phantom directly hugging that two-meter-long Millennium Soul-Calming Wood.
If the Lin Family ancestors were still alive, seeing this scene, they would likely be so angry they'd jump right out of their coffins.
This was the essence of a divine vein that the Lin Family had forcibly severed from an ancient Immortal Cave, consuming countless resources and taking a millennium of time!
Usually, even the Lin Family Old Ancestor only dared to sit beside it and take a whiff when breaking through a Bottleneck.
But now, Jiang Chen was acting as if he were strolling through his own storage room; he swung his leg over and directly straddled this divine wood.
"Stop! How dare you, you brat!"
In the Void Realm above the vault, an aged face suddenly appeared.
It was the will projection of the Lin Family Old Ancestor—Lin Overthrow Heaven.
Although his true body was still in his seclusion ground thousands of miles away, through secret techniques, he could instantly sense the changes in the vault.
Lin Overthrow Heaven was so furious at this moment that his three corpse gods were jumping in rage; his beard was even burning violently due to anger.
"This is where the Lin Family's millennium of Luck resides! You petty thief, how dare you use a projection to steal treasure!"
"Shatter for me!"
Lin Overthrow Heaven roared and activated a Lin Family forbidden technique—the "Nine Nether Soul-Seizing Needle."
Countless black Divine Soul needles, as thin as ox hair and carrying a poison that corroded the Void Realm, shot toward Jiang Chen like a torrential downpour.
This type of attack ignored physical defense and specifically harmed the Divine Soul; it was extremely ruthless.
However.
The moment these poisonous needles approached Jiang Chen's skin.
【Ding! Detected that the host is enjoying "High-Quality Deep Sleep" and is receiving malicious mental interference.】
【Detected interference source rank: Ant-level.】
【Triggering passive counterattack: Waking Up Anger — "Where did that dog barking come from?"】
Jiang Chen's originally closed eyes, while not opening, saw a point of golden light suddenly shine at the center of his brow.
This was the System instantly converting the irritable emotions from his dream into a tangible mental tsunami.
Hum—!
An invisible shockwave exploded outward with Jiang Chen at the center.
Those so-called Nine Nether Soul-Seizing Needles, the instant they made contact with this shockwave, were directly forcibly assimilated and erased.
Not only that, the fluctuation followed the Karma line, directly tracing it upstream, and slammed fiercely into Lin Overthrow Heaven's will face.
"Ah!!!"
A shrill scream came from the Void Realm.
Lin Overthrow Heaven's face instantly shattered into pieces, turning into countless specks of light.
And in an underground palace a hundred miles outside the Magic City, Lin Overthrow Heaven's true body violently spat out a large mouthful of blood mixed with visceral fragments; his originally full aura instantly withered.
"This... what kind of power is this?!"
"Even the Emperor Realm... it is impossible to heavily injure my Origin with a single glance across a projection!"
Lin Overthrow Heaven's eyes were full of horror and despair.
He discovered that his War God cultivation, which he was so proud of, was truly like a mongrel dog trying to bare its fangs at a Dragon in front of the other party.
...
Inside the Magic City vault.
Without any obstruction, Jiang Chen moved even more vigorously.
He not only hugged the Soul-Calming Wood, but his hand also scooped up a handful from the mountain of Top-Grade Spirit Stone.
"This bead... can be used as a marble in my dream..."
The System was also very cooperative; black tentacles flickered in the Void Realm, marking all the core resources Jiang Chen touched with spatial tags and forcibly pulling them into the dream warehouse.
The Soul-Calming Wood disappeared.
One hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stone disappeared.
The Sharp Weapon that the Lin Family had treasured for three hundred years was casually grabbed by Jiang Chen, who felt it was uncomfortable in his hand, and tossed aside.
Most importantly, that fragment of the "Key of God" floating in mid-air seemed to sense the unattainable rank of Jiang Chen, actually actively emitting a joyful chime, turning into a stream of light, and drilling into the pocket of Jiang Chen's pajamas.
Jiang Chen smacked his lips, feeling that he had taken enough "spoils of war," and turned to leave.
He had arrived silently, but when he left... he had emptied half of the Lin Family.
The Lin Family guards watched this scene with their own eyes, yet not a single person dared to move.
Some even developed an extremely absurd thought of self-brainwashing:
"The reason Consultant Jiang only took half is definitely because he felt the remaining half was too trashy and unworthy of entering his dream."
"This is a hint to us in the Lin Family! Making us reflect on why the resources we produce are so low-level!"
...
Northern Territory barracks.
"Look! Jiang Chen brother's body... has become solid!"
Qingyue let out an exclamation.
Only to see the Void Realm vibrate, and Jiang Chen's projection returned to his main body.
But he did not return empty-handed.
Clang!
With a loud noise, the two-meter-long Millennium Soul-Calming Wood, having lost the support of the space, crashed heavily onto the barracks floor.
The thick alloy floor was smashed into a giant crater.
Immediately following, like dumping trash, "rattle, rattle" Top-Grade Spirit Stone fell from the Void Realm, instantly piling the originally spacious bedroom into a minefield overflowing with Spiritual Qi.
At the very top of that pile of Spirit Stone, a fragment shimmering with mysterious runes lay quietly.
Qingyue and Mu Qingxue were dumbfounded.
They were still worried about whether Jiang Chen had overdrawn himself just a moment ago, but he ended up coming back from a nap with a millennium's accumulation of a super wealthy family?
"This... is this the Lin Family's lifeline, the Soul-Calming Wood?" Mu Qingxue was well-informed, and her voice was trembling at this moment. "Did he... just go to the Magic City to rob them?"
Qingyue's beautiful eyes shone, and although she was shocked, there was more pride:
"Even when Jiang Chen brother is sleeping, he is the most powerful. Look at him, he didn't even want to wake up while robbing them, which means that group of people from the Lin Family are simply unworthy of making him open his eyes."
At this moment, Jiang Chen seemed to feel that his arms were empty.
He waved his large hand, and since the Soul-Calming Wood was right by the bed, he scooped it up and pulled the two-meter-long log directly into his arms.
"Mm... this pillow is so cool..."
【Ding! Due to the host occupying a Millennium Heaven And Earth Treasure in his dream, absorption speed increased by 3000%!】
【Mental Energy limit is continuing to skyrocket...】
【Due to the host emptying the Lin Family vault, causing the Lin Family Old Ancestor's Dao Heart to shatter, reward: Waking Up Anger charging limit + 20%!】
【Starting to analyze the host's harvest from this restocking, discovered hidden clues of the Empress in the Lin Family vault, suggest going in person to investigate!】
Hidden clues of the Empress?
I'll go when I've had enough sleep.
Jiang Chen slept even more soundly.
He even turned over in his dream, his toes unconsciously hooking onto the hem of Qingyue's skirt that was hanging by the bed, pulling it into the quilt.
"Ah..." Qingyue's pretty face flushed red, but she obediently sat at the head of the bed, continuing to wipe away the non-existent sweat for him.
Mu Qingxue took a deep breath, looking at the room full of Heaven And Earth Treasure, her eyes becoming exceptionally firm.
"These things... we must block the news immediately. Qingyue, we are not sleeping tonight, we must guard this place to the death."
"When Jiang Chen wakes up, the sky of the Great Xia... is going to change."
And in the distant Magic City.
Lin Family Old Ancestor Lin Overthrow Heaven stood in the empty vault, looking at the ruins on the ground and the core storage room that had been stripped down to the bare walls, a low roar like a trapped beast coming from his throat.
"Jiang Chen!!!"
"Pfft—!"
Another mouthful of blood sprayed out.
...
The Lin Family Old Ancestor fainted on the spot from anger.
On the wall of the Northern Territory barracks, Lin Yan, who had been slapped into the wall, happened to wake up at this moment.
She looked at the barracks room filled with Heaven And Earth Treasure from her own vault, then looked at Jiang Chen sleeping soundly next to her...
She tilted her head, her eyes went black, and she fainted again very neatly.
