Chapter 326: Chapter 163: This Is Clearly a Ten-Thousand-Li Cruise Missile

"In addition—"

Standing to the side, Wang Kui reported, "We also got quite a few Exotic Treasures. They’ve all been stored in the warehouse, waiting for your inspection, Domain Lord. Just before that Great Ghost died, its Ghost Qi transformed into two Exotic Treasures."

"They’re the ones that shone the brightest."

With that, Wang Kui presented the two Exotic Treasures he was holding.

"..."

Chen Fan’s brow furrowed. ’The stronger the Ghost Object, the better the Exotic Treasures it drops. But only two? That’s far too few.’ However, after seeing the treasures’ description panels, his worries vanished.

’Quality over quantity,’ he thought.

These two Exotic Treasures were worth hundreds of White Level ones.

Both Exotic Treasures were Yellow Level.

The first Exotic Treasure was a stone.

’An old friend.’

-

[Exotic Treasure Name]: Celestial Dao Stone

[Exotic Treasure Level]: Yellow

[Exotic Treasure Effect]: When used on any building, it grants that building a "Celestial Dao Blessing Effect." This effect applies to all buildings of the same type within the camp.

[PS: Can only be used on Max Level Buildings.]

-

He had only obtained one Celestial Dao Stone before.

He had received it after registering five Max Level Buildings in his codex.

This was his second one.

The Max Level Godslaying Cannon’s Celestial Dao Blessing Effect, "Sweeping the Entire Army," perfectly utilized overkill damage. He’d gotten this effect from a Celestial Dao Stone. Its effectiveness was undeniable; without it, the Godslaying Cannon wouldn’t be nearly as formidable.

But the Godslaying Cannon had yet to show its true power.

Its true moment to shine would come in three years, with the arrival of the Undersea Ghost Tide. When hundreds of millions of Ghost Objects attacked, ordinary turrets would be overwhelmed, no matter how numerous they were or how large the Ghost Stone reserves.

Any living creature, even something as insignificant as an ant, becomes a terrifying force when its numbers swell to the hundreds of millions.

Let alone Ghost Objects.

But with the Godslaying Cannon’s Celestial Dao Blessing Effect, dealing with the tide would be much easier.

"Not bad."

Chen Fan smiled and pocketed the Celestial Dao Stone. ’Which Max Level Building should I use this on?’ he wondered.

’The Ghost Fire?’

’The High-speed Rail?’

’Or the Anti-Aircraft Cannon?’

’I only have one Celestial Dao Stone. I have to think this through and make sure I get the most out of it.’

The other Exotic Treasure was a special type.

It looked like a cloud of cotton candy and was soft to the touch, but it was entirely the color of black mist.

-

[Exotic Treasure Name]: Tribulation Clouds

[Exotic Treasure Level]: Yellow

[Exotic Treasure Effect]: Can be placed within the camp. By consuming Ghost Stones, it will create concentrated rainfall in a small area, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

-

"..."

Chen Fan frowned slightly, lost in thought. ’An Exotic Treasure that can control the weather... Its level isn’t high, but the ability to control weather alone is extraordinary.’

’Even if it’s just small-scale rainfall, it’s still very useful.’

Sitting on the City Wall, he looked up at the cliff face of Nameless Mountain. The Eternal Night had already shrouded the Celestial Pillar, but amidst the rolling thunder, he could clearly see its progress bar increasing rapidly.

It had already reached 17%.

It would probably reach 100% in a few days.

The Celestial Pillar could absorb and store lightning, then unleash it against enemies with immense, instantaneous power.

That was the description on its panel.

He wasn’t sure of its exact power.

He planned to test its power once the progress hit 100%. If it was impressive, he would build more Celestial Pillars on the mountaintop to build up a larger reserve.

He wanted to give the Undersea Ghost Tide a big, nasty surprise when they came calling in three years.

And these Tribulation Clouds could charge the Celestial Pillars even outside of the rainy season.

How valuable this Exotic Treasure was would depend entirely on the power of the Celestial Pillars.

"Time to check the warehouse."

Chen Fan got up, walked down from the City Wall, and headed towards the warehouse camp inside the cave. In the past year, Hey Hey had expanded the warehouse cave area quite a bit. Now, ten Warehouses were neatly arranged in this warehouse camp.

Of course, most of them were empty.

After all, his consumption had been high lately; he’d burned through his Ghost Stone supply rather quickly.

’I’ll have to fill these ten Warehouses within three years.’

Chen Fan stood at the entrance of the first Warehouse, scanning the newly stored Exotic Treasures one by one, looking for valuable ones. The Mortal Realm had no Appraisers.

Essentially, he was responsible for appraising all Exotic Treasures himself.

’Fast and efficient.’

The night deepened.

Everyone in the Mortal Realm had already gone to sleep, except for a few who were on night watch. Inside Cave No. 1, only Wang Kui’s occasional reports could be heard.

It mingled with the patter of the heavy rain outside.

Like white noise.

It was a sound that lulled one to sleep.

...

「Deep within the Eternal Night Continent.」

In an unknown place. A place of absolute darkness. A place where no outsider had ever set foot.

The middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the ground slowly opened his eyes and looked up into the depths of the darkness.

He sensed someone’s approach.

"You."

A deep voice suddenly echoed in the darkness. "You have been trapped here for 38 years. Are you still unwilling to answer? It is a very simple question."

"It will not harm you at all."

"..."

The middle-aged man, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly laughed. He could tell the other party was getting a little anxious; there was an urgency in their tone.

"It seems the situation on the Eternal Night Frontline is not looking optimistic for your Ghost Race."

"Somewhat," the voice in the darkness did not deny it, admitting frankly, "The defenses at the Eternal Night Frontline are extremely formidable, making it difficult to break through. But that won’t last much longer. Human strength is ultimately finite."

"The Ghost Race isn’t actually as savage as you humans imagine."
