178: Test of the National Treasury (Happy New Year)

Under Wei Yan’s lead, the two arrived in front of a bronze door.

“Wei Yan, the Awakening Land dungeon ended a while ago, why are you bringing another little fellow here?”

Amidst the shimmering moonlight, an elegant elf wearing a moon-white robe appeared and asked with a smile.

This was also a Mythical-Grade Troops left behind by a senior from Soaring Dragon—a Moon God Elf, who had been guarding the national treasury for thousands of years.

“Senior Yue Yi, there was a slight unexpected change in the Awakening Land this time, and the little fellow behind me just came out of it,” Wei Yan said respectfully.

As the Chief Instructor of Soaring Dragon, Wei Yan was naturally a top-tier Lord, even a hegemon among them.

He also had a Mythical-Grade Troops altar under his command.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't need to be so respectful to a mere Mythical-Grade Troops.

However, Wei Yan was once a genius of Soaring Dragon, and when he first met Senior Yue Yi, he was just a little fellow.

This is similar to how a child, even after growing up and surpassing their elders, still maintains due respect.

What's more, Wei Yan genuinely revered these Mythical-Grade Troops who guarded the foundation of Soaring Dragon.

Therefore, even he, who was called a devil by the young ones of Soaring Dragon, would maintain a respectful attitude towards any Mythical-Grade Troops guarding the Tenglong Headquarters.

“Is that so?” Senior Yue Yi nodded thoughtfully, then pushed open the bronze door behind him.

“Let’s go, we’re going in,” Wei Yan called to Li Feng.

It was different from what Li Feng had expected.

After stepping through the bronze door, what greeted his eyes was a world of picturesque mountains and clear waters.

A bluestone path extended out, with rows of golden banana trees planted on both sides, laden with ripe, golden bananas.

“These are Split Bananas, only usable by Tier 1 Troops. After consumption, there’s a chance to split into 3-5 Troops, but they only last for one day. After a day, all the Troops will completely collapse.”

“Ordinarily, these Split Bananas don’t serve much purpose, but if a top-tier Lord wants to break through to the Divine Realm and happens to be short on Troops, these Split Bananas can be of great use,” Wei Yan explained, pointing to the Split Banana trees on either side.

After speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Soaring Dragon had acquired this secret realm thousands of years ago, and thousands of top-tier Lords had emerged.

However, very few had ever needed to use Split Bananas.

To achieve godhood, the minimum requirement for Troops is one trillion in number.

Once picked, Split Bananas must be consumed within three days, or they will wither.

All the Split Bananas in this secret realm could generate approximately one hundred million Troops at once.

It seemed like a lot, but compared to one trillion, it was merely one ten-thousandth.

For top-tier Lords lacking Troops, they were short of far more than one hundred million Troops.

Therefore, throughout the long years, the number of top-tier Lords who could actually use Split Bananas was extremely small.

After understanding the function of the Split Bananas, Li Feng withdrew his gaze.

The one thing he didn’t lack was Troops; he would never need to use Split Bananas in his lifetime.

Following the bluestone path, the two arrived in front of a cave.

Vaguely, Li Feng noticed countless pairs of eyes staring at him.

He knew that a large number of Mythical-Grade Troops must be hidden in the shadows.

This was a critical national site; if it were to fall, Soaring Dragon might not collapse entirely, but it would be difficult for it to recover for at least several centuries.

In front of the cave, a Mythical-Grade Troops Space Grand Mage quietly appeared.

Under Wei Yan’s guidance, Li Feng took out 91 awakening fruits and handed them over.

“Hmm, the awakening fruits are fine. You’ve earned 910,000 contribution points in total, which allows you to exchange for any treasures in the national treasury without restriction, but this is only for this one time. Afterwards, you must meet certain conditions.”

After collecting all the awakening fruits, the Space Grand Mage said to Li Feng.

Li Feng had handed over 91 awakening fruits in one go, which was more than the combined total of the other 9 people.

This also made the Space Grand Mage look at Li Feng with admiration and satisfaction.

“You may enter. Silently note down what you wish to exchange for and provide me with a list. If you attempt to steal any treasures, I will kill you immediately. You will not even have a chance to revive if you die within the national treasury.”

After warning Li Feng, the Space Grand Mage quietly vanished.

“Did you hear that? You absolutely must not be greedy, or no one can save you,” Wei Yan said, patting Li Feng’s shoulder and warning him sternly.

Historically, many geniuses who entered the national treasury, upon seeing the dazzling array of treasures, became consumed by greed and ultimately met their demise.

The national treasury also served as a screening process.

It eliminated those fools driven by avarice; such individuals, no matter how talented, were a hidden danger if they lived.

Perhaps one day in the future, they might betray Soaring Dragon for a small temptation.

“I understand,” Li Feng nodded gently.

He did have some expectations for the Soaring Dragon national treasury, but they weren't particularly intense.

After all, he had acquired all the treasures of a true god.

However, the treasures given by the true god were too precious for him to use.

That’s why he came to the national treasury, hoping to exchange for some treasures he could use.

Wei Yan watched Li Feng enter the cave, his worry evident on his face.

Li Feng possessed infinite potential, and he truly hoped that Li Feng wouldn't get lost in desire and be killed by the guardians.

That would be a tremendous loss for Soaring Dragon.

However, the national treasury's trial was something every top genius had to experience.

In early history, many genius Lords of Soaring Dragon chose to betray their homeland for personal gain.

After the national treasury trial was implemented, such people instantly decreased by ninety-nine percent.

Therefore, the national treasury trial was necessary.

“I hope he isn’t that kind of fool,” Wei Yan shook his head, quietly looking in another direction.

This national treasury was actually fake.

It was also out of fear that spies might recklessly destroy the treasures within.

The true national treasury could only be entered by a select few.

And Wei Yan, of course, was one of them...
