After Su Mo had cultivated for several hours in the secret chamber, he opened his eyes.
He could not accept the progress of his cultivation after he had experienced the efficacy of the Chaotic Chalcedony and Purple Qi.
This is way too slow!
He could accept the time that he spent in Spatiotemporal City but the situation was different in the outside world.
He did not have much time on hand and given the speed of his cultivation, he would need at least 300 years to become a Supreme Being.
I wonder if there is any treasure that is beneficial to me in Chaotic Ancient Mountain! Su Mo pondered for a while. He stood up and walked out of the palace to check on the Chaotic Tribe’s treasure vault.
Wei Tian Supreme Being had told him that he could use the badge to obtain any resources that he might need.
Su Mo asked around and found out that the treasure vault was located on the mountain peak.
Chaotic Ancient Mountain was the Chaotic Holy Court’s Sacred Mountain, and the entire Court’s resources were kept in Celestial Cave which was in the Mountain.
As the name suggested, Celestial Cave was a cave and it was located in the inner part of Ancient Mountain.
A few disciples were guarding the entrance of Celestial Cave and Su Mo was able to get in without obstruction when he showed them the badge that was given to him by Wei Tian Supreme Being.
The Cave was dark and deep. However, it was not totally dark as a large number of gems were mounted on the walls.
After walking several hundred meters, Su Mo came to a spacious stone chamber.
There was a stone door that was about 1.5 meters broad at the end of the stone chamber and light was shimmering on it. It was apparent that a powerful array had been set up on the stone door.
An elder in a gray robe was seated on a White Jade stone counter in front of the stone door and he had a profound aura that belonged to a Supreme Being.
A few young disciples were crowding around the stone counter, asking the elder for some resources.
“Su Mo!”
The disciples suddenly turned to look at Su Mo when they noticed him. One of them was Heng Chen, who had reprimanded Su Mo earlier.
“Su Mo, we can forgive you for devouring our Purple Qi but, are you eyeing our resources as well?” Heng Chen asked, looking unhappy.
“Can’t I?” Su Mo asked flatly as he walked toward the stone counter.
“Su Mo, since you are allowed to stay in Chaotic Ancient Mountain, the higher echelons must have decided to protect you. However, who are you to use our resources!” Heng Chen said with his face darkened. Although their Chaotic Holy Court was powerful, they did not have many resources in Chaotic Ancient Mountain.
There were more than 1,000 disciples in Chaotic Ancient Mountain and all of them cultivated the Chaotic Martial Arts, regardless of the orthodox or unorthodox practice.
The resources for the Chaotic martial artists were scarce as the ordinary treasures were not beneficial to them.
Thus, other than the Chaotic Dawn Stones, there were not many treasures in the Celestial Cave.
“Too bad, Elder Wei Tian has allowed me to use them!” Su Mo turned his palm over to reveal the badge that Wei Tian Supreme Being had given to him.
“What?” Heng Chen and the few disciples were shocked to see that Elder Wei Tian had given his badge to Su Mo. Is he allowing Su Mo to use their resources?
The few of them looked unhappy. They felt that it was extravagant for Su Mo to use the resources as he would not survive for long.
Heng Chen was especially unhappy but he could not do anything about it.
“Elder, what kind of treasures do you have?” Su Mo ignored Heng Chen and turned his head to look at the elder who was behind the stone counter. The elder had a long, white beard.
“What do you need?” The elder asked as he stroked his beard. Since Su Mo was holding Elder Wei Tian’s badge, he would not make things difficult for him.
“Elder, is there any treasure that can help to ground the foundation of my cultivation level within a short period of time or shorten the time of my cultivation?” Su Mo asked.
“Yes!”
The elder nodded. After pondering for a while, he said, “There are eight types of treasures that can help to ground one’s foundation in his cultivation level, and 12 types of treasures to accelerate one’s cultivation.”
“Oh?”
Su Mo’s eyes lit up when he heard it and he asked hastily, “What is the quantity you have for the eight types of treasures?”
Su Mo was excited. Although the treasures might not be as effective as the Chaotic Chalcedony and Purple Qi, it was better than having nothing at all.
Moreover, if there was a large number of treasures, they might be as effective.
At the moment, Su Mo required the treasures that could help him be more grounded in his foundation. Once that had been done, he could devour the Energy to help him advance to the next level.
He did not need the treasures to help him accelerate his cultivation as the foundation played a more important role. He could have activated his devouring power instead of using those treasures.
“Su Mo, don’t tell me that you are taking all the treasures away!” Heng Chen commented with his face dark.
The few disciples looked unhappy as well. Apparently, Su Mo had the intention of taking away all the treasures.
Su Mo ignored Heng Chen and fixed his gaze on the elder.
He had no intention of taking all the treasures as he had to leave some for the rest of the disciples. He wanted to know the quantity so that he could decide on the amount to ask for.
“Among the eight types of treasures, five of them were Sky Treasures and three of them were Elixirs. The five types of Sky Treasures have the best efficacy, but we do not have many in stock. We only have around 400. As for the three types of Elixirs, we have more than 2,000 of them!” The elder replied. He had all the figures and information about the resources at his fingertips.
“Can I have half of each type?” Su Mo asked the elder. Although he knew that what he had asked for was exorbitant, he could not help it.
The longer it took for him to become a Supreme Being, the riskier it would be for him. Moreover, the Chaotic Holy Court, Human Palace, Dragon Tribe, and the other forces would be in hot water if he were defeated by Di Yihun.
Once Di Yihun became invincible in the Deity Plane, everyone who had set himself against him would end up in a sorry state.
Thus, Su Mo had no qualms about taking all the Chaotic Holy Court’s resources if he had to.
Since Chaotic Holy Court had decided to support him, they would not mind letting him have the resources.
“You must be dreaming!”
Rage flowed through Heng Chen like lava when he heard Su Mo’s request. He pointed his finger at Su Mo and shouted, “Half? You are asking for the sky! We have 1,000 disciples in Chaotic Ancient Mountain and if you have taken half the treasures, what will we be left with?”
“I hope you understand that I am left with no choice.” Su Mo said as he cupped his fist at Heng Chen. He understood how Heng Chen felt and thus he was not angry with him.
Having said that, Su Mo looked at the elder and asked, “Elder, can I have half the treasures?”
Su Mo asked the elder again as he needed to get permission from the elder.
The elder hesitated for a while. Although he was reluctant to hand over such a large amount of treasures to Su Mo, he could not turn Su Mo down as he was holding Elder Wei Tian’s badge. Apparently, Elder Wei Tian had given him permission to do so.
“Wait a while!” The elder nodded. He opened the array on the stone door and entered the treasure vault.
“This…!” Heng Chen and the disciples were dumbstruck when they saw that the elder had acceded to Su Mo’s request.. Su Mo was taking away half the treasures that could help him be grounded in his foundation!
