Becoming An Ancestor In Another World From This Day On

Chapter 98: Treasure Hunting

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The swamp region in the west had the most complicated environment and was also the most dangerous. Furthermore, there were few treasures. Apart from some natural treasures that grew here, there were almost none here, such as the cultivation techniques and magical weapons of the predecessors. Similarly, there were also the fewest people who came here to explore. This way, the pressure to compete would be smaller. Romo had chosen this route previously. Now, Ron had also chosen this route because of the experience Romo had given him. With this experience, Ron would be able to avoid most of the dangers. There were also some treasures which Romo had not been strong enough to obtain previously, and Ron would be able to obtain them.

But after all 500 years had passed, and this mystic realm had already been opened more than 50 times, and it had also experienced many changes. Most of the treasures in Romo’s memory were no longer around. Previously, Romo had told Ron several places with treasures, and Ron checked them one by one, but they were all empty.

Two of the treasures had obviously been taken by those who took the trials, and there was another which had a heavenly treasure. However, the heavenly treasure had not been found, but instead, a powerful magical beast was found. It was the peak level-4 magical beast Ron had killed earlier.

“Currently, out of the four treasure locations which our Old Ancestor had told me about, there is only one location left. I hope the treasures in this last location are still around,” Ron mumbled to himself, and then he headed toward the last treasure location.

On the other side, in the Calamity Mountain Range, Romo had opened the Visitation Talisman again while he was recovering to check on Ron’s status, and saw that he was already on the way to the last treasure location. Romo was very satisfied with Ron’s performance along the way, and no longer cared whether the last treasure was still around because Romo had obtained enough treasures now. Disregarding the rest, just the high-grade Water Moon Stone he had obtained was far more valuable than the combined value of the treasures Ron had obtained currently. Moreover, Romo had asked Ron to participate in the trial mainly not to let him search for treasures, but to sharpen him and allow him to grow faster. Now that this goal had been achieved, it would suffice as long as he could ensure that Ron would not die prematurely in the mystic realm.

A day passed quickly, and Romo had fully recovered from his weakened state. This made Romo sigh at the wonder of the innate spirit body the System had given him. If only he could really have such a body. Unfortunately, Romo only had four days left. He had to continue to set off and search for treasures.

Romo currently had a total of four Storage Rings. Three of them had been found in the cave of the giant python, two small ones and one large one. Romo had placed all his items in the three small Storage Rings. This way, the largest Storage Ring would be cleared, and all the treasures found later could be placed in this Storage Ring.

The Five-Color Peacock was also a little shocked to see Romo fully recovered. Even if it had eaten the crystal core of the python, it would still take several days for it to recover. Romo looked at it and said, “You can continue to recover here first. I’ll go elsewhere to search for some treasures. You can go home later yourself. I won’t be coming back.” After Romo had finished speaking, his silhouette was seen flying out.

Romo’s time was precious, and he could not waste it on returning to search for the Five-Color Peacock. Now he had signed a spirit contract with the Five-Color Peacock, by the time his physical body’s time was up, his spirit would return directly to the ancestral hall. When that time came, the Five-Color Peacock would be able to find the Nicholas family clan through the spirit guidance. Romo did not have to worry about this. Moreover, Romo had planned to find a lot of treasures later and could also command the Five-Color Peacock to bring them back. Thus, the Five-Color Peacock would not only be the Guardian Spirit Beast of his family clan, but also a porter.

Romo’s next destination was the place where he had discovered the most important treasure when he trained here while alive. Of course, it was also very dangerous. Otherwise, he would have taken away the treasure there in his previous life and not have left it there till now. Moreover, because of the danger, it was also the most unlikely place for anyone to take away the treasure.

After flying for half a day, Romo finally arrived at his destination. He landed on the ground. In front of him was what looked like an ordinary hill; it was no different from other places. However, Romo stretched out his hand, and his hand was covered with a layer of magical power as he pressed forward. Instantly, Romo’s palm encountered an obstruction. Something transparent in the air had blocked Romo’s palm. Romo increased the input of magical power, and there seemed to be 500 kilograms of gravity constantly bombarding his hand from the front. A transparent defensive barrier appeared.

“Hmm? Someone had actually reinforced this barrier?” Romo sensed the strength of this barrier and immediately discovered that it was actually a little stronger than when he had first discovered it. This made Romo a little worried. Since the barrier had been reinforced by someone, it meant that after he had explored this place when he was alive, someone had come to explore it, and had even strengthened the barrier. This was obviously because the other party did not want others to enter. He wondered if the treasures inside had been taken away. If they had been taken, then his loss would be too great. That’s right, now Romo had already treated the items inside as his.

Romo then cast a spell and quickly found the correct path to enter. He followed a special set of steps and after taking a few steps, his figure suddenly disappeared. In front of Romo, another scene appeared. In front of him was no longer the ordinary hill, but a very beautiful place with birds chirping and flowers. There was even a cave abode. This should have been the cave abode of a powerful existence. The barrier earlier had protected this cave abode. Not only was the barrier defensive, it also had a concealment effect. Therefore, if one was not observant, it would be very difficult to discover the secret of this place.

Romo quickly entered the cave abode. The original owner of the cave abode should be very powerful. He was at least a level-10 Great Archmage and was very good in the way of formations. This was because there were all kinds of formations in the cave abode. If he was not careful, he would die in these formations. When Romo came to explore this place previously, his strength was only that of a level-6 Great Archmage. He had come in to explore the cave abode to get some treasures from the owner of the cave abode. However, he was subsequently trapped consecutively in two formations, and Romo almost lost his life. Hence, he did not dare to continue exploring.. He had to leave in a hurry.
