#496 - Chapter 504: Exchange of Treasures

Jiang Ning opened the Hongmeng Treasure Vault, and the sight that greeted his eyes stunned him.

A dazzling array of treasures filled his vision, almost overwhelming him.

Even the lowest-level items were universe treasures of the Venerable level, and their quantity was unimaginable.

This was the foundation of the human race, one of the top ten peak races in the universe.

Any single item from the Hongmeng Treasure Vault could trigger countless Universe Gods to fight and kill each other madly.

"Resource integration is indeed crucial for enhancing the strength of the entire race."

It was at this moment that Jiang Ning realized the importance of the Hongmeng Virtual Universe.

The universe was too vast; the human territory alone contained hundreds of thousands of star fields.

Uniting the entire human power was difficult to achieve due to the distances involved.

However, with the Hongmeng Virtual Universe, regardless of your location, you could meet and converse with anyone in the virtual space.

You also didn't need to scour the world to collect the special resources you needed.

You could easily exchange them in the Ancestral City.

By integrating all resources and completely merging the human race's foundation, an even more powerful force could be unleashed.

"Ultimate Peak Supreme Artifact, Heavenly Kingdom Divine Gate, worth one million Hongmeng points."

"Ultimate Peak Supreme Secret Technique, Myriadfold Tribulation!"

...

One million Hongmeng points represented the most valuable treasures in the Hongmeng Treasure Vault.

For Jiang Ning at his current stage, it was still too far out of reach, so he could only ignore them.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ning had viewed all the treasures in the Hongmeng Treasure Vault.

"Unfortunately, there are no treasures with eternal attributes."

Jiang Ning sighed, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Although cultivating the strongest Myriad Tribulations Undying Body didn't require much eternal power, it needed eternal power as a catalyst to succeed.

Those Universe Lords had all cultivated to become half-step eternal beings.

Jiang Ning believed that treasures with eternal attributes definitely existed.

However, they were simply too precious and were held in the hands of individual human powerhouses, not appearing for exchange in the Hongmeng Treasure Vault.

Jiang Ning had to find another way.

"However, I've found four suitable materials out of the seven needed to break through to the seventh transformation of the Beast God."

The required materials were simple: fourth-order Demon God (Supreme God) claws, scales, essence blood, feathers, inner core, bones, and beast soul.

Of course, not just any fourth-order demon beast's claws, bones, etc., would do.

Each Demon God had a characteristic part of their race, and they would strengthen this special part, making it their strongest weapon and method.

The claws needed had to be from a demon beast that used its claws as its strongest weapon and had strengthened them over endless years.

Its claws would be the most essential part of that Demon God.

The majority of its energy would be concentrated in this part.

Therefore, such Demon God claws were the most perfect material for evolving into a Beast God.

The same applied to bones, scales, etc.

Of course, it wasn't necessary to use materials from a fourth-order Demon God; a third-order peak Demon God would also work.

The better the materials used, the stronger the Beast God evolved would be.

Jiang Ning naturally had high standards for himself and wouldn't choose materials from a third-order peak Demon God to become a Beast God.

Back then, the only Beast God of the Beast God race had used materials from third-order peak Demon Gods.

After all, their race didn't have the strength to hunt Demon Gods.

This resulted in their Beast God only having power comparable to a Supreme God when using the "Beast God Scripture."

In a normal state, they were no match for a Supreme God at all.

The four types of Beast God evolution materials that Jiang Ning favored were:

"Fourth-order Peak Demon God, Holy Armor Dragon Emperor's Scale of Heaven, Value: 45,200 Hongmeng Points!"

"Fourth-order Peak Demon God, Sky-Rending Wolf Ancestor's Sky-Rending Wolf Claw, 58,360 Hongmeng Points!"

"Fourth-order Peak Starry Sky Beast, Golden Devouring Giant Ancestor's Golden Holy Bone, 42,380 Hongmeng Points!"

"Fourth-order Source Beast's Source Essence Blood, Value: 126,800 Hongmeng Points!"

"This fourth-order Source Beast's Source Essence Blood is actually so expensive."

Jiang Ning was shocked.

However, after reading the introduction to the Source Beast Essence Blood, he understood why it was so expensive.

It far surpassed the Sky-Rending Wolf Claw, Golden Holy Bone, and Scale of Heaven.

The Source Beast Essence Blood contained source essence, which could enhance a cultivator's understanding of the source laws.

Source laws were stronger than supreme laws; even the high and mighty Universe Lords couldn't resist the pressure of source laws.

Even the Supreme Gods coveted it greatly.

Therefore, its exchange value was so expensive.

Moreover, Source Beasts were native creatures of the Source Universe.

Universe Lords couldn't enter the Source Universe, and it was too difficult for Supreme Gods to kill Source Beasts.

Therefore, their numbers were extremely scarce, which was one of the reasons for their high value.

Jiang Ning was curious, who exactly was the Supreme God who killed this fourth-order Source Beast?

Supreme Gods of this level were basically invincible.

Besides these four materials, of course, the other three materials were also available in the Hongmeng Treasure Vault.

However, they were completely on a different level from these four materials, so Jiang Ning chose to give up.

He could only find another way to search for them.

However, these Demon Gods were extremely rare, difficult to find, and possessed unparalleled power, making it extremely difficult for Jiang Ning to obtain them for the time being.

Of course, there were also auction and reward functions in the Ancestral City.

As long as you had enough Hongmeng points, you could offer a reward for the treasures you wanted.

Other Universe Gods would help Jiang Ning find the whereabouts of these Demon Gods, or even help him kill them.

The premise was to pay enough Hongmeng points.

"Although it is extremely difficult to gather these seven top-grade materials."

"But using them to evolve into a Beast God, combined with the 'Beast God Scripture,' I will unleash strength comparable to a Universe Lord."

Jiang Ning's heart was burning with passion.

With the strength of a Universe Lord, coupled with Super Instant Kill, there was basically no force in the Great Luo Universe that could take his life.

"The current task is to earn Hongmeng points and break through to Universe God to increase my strength."

Killing alien races was the fastest way to obtain Hongmeng points.

And to kill alien races faster and in greater numbers, naturally required sufficient strength.

After breaking through to Universe God, Jiang Ning would be able to quickly break through to the peak of Universe Venerable God, and his strength would increase dramatically.

"Chaos God Crystals can actually be exchanged for Hongmeng points."

"As expected of a universal currency, but the exchange rate is a bit of a loss."

Jiang Ning suddenly discovered that Chaos God Crystals could be exchanged for Hongmeng points.

However, the ratio was a bit of a loss.

For example, an item worth one Hongmeng point.

Outside, Jiang Ning could spend 60 billion Chaos God Crystals to obtain it.

But in the Hongmeng Treasure Vault, 100 billion Chaos God Crystals were needed to exchange for one Hongmeng point.

Of course, even with this ratio, all Universe Gods were willing to exchange for Hongmeng points.

After all, the treasures in the Hongmeng Treasure Vault were very difficult to obtain outside.

They were priceless.

"I automatically obtain 1 billion Chaos God Crystals a day, which means I obtain one Hongmeng point every 100 days."

"That's 3.5 Hongmeng points a year."

"With my current accumulation, I can probably exchange for 5,000 Hongmeng points."

Jiang Ning had been reincarnated for almost two thousand years.

Excluding the Chaos God Crystals spent at the auction, there were still many left.

"Exchange."

In the end, Jiang Ning chose to exchange for 5,000 Hongmeng points.

He left some Chaos God Crystals behind for emergencies.

After all, using the Godfiend Myriad Formation Map consumed an astronomical number of Chaos God Crystals.

However, 5,020 Hongmeng points were not enough to exchange for the required materials.

Therefore, Jiang Ning chose to exchange for the resources to break through to the sixth transformation of the Beast God, as well as the treasures to evolve the Sun God Tree.

"With these resources, my strength will take another qualitative leap."

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

This was the importance of the platform.

He could easily obtain the resources he wanted.

If he didn't join the Human Race Ancestral City, even if Jiang Ning had many Chaos God Crystals, he wouldn't be able to exchange them for cultivation resources in a short time.

After all, very few forces possessed these high-level resources.

Nor would they all be used to allow Jiang Ning to exchange.

After all, the purpose of Chaos God Crystals was only to activate formations.

After completing the exchange, Jiang Ning exited the Hongmeng Treasure Vault.

"Go to the Intelligence Hall to take a look."

"The Human Race Ancestral City's intelligence capabilities are many times stronger than the Northern Mountain Holy Sect."

"Perhaps I can directly find where the Abyss Demon Realm is located."

Jiang Ning went to the Intelligence Hall with a trace of anticipation.

The Human Race Ancestral City controlled the entire Human Race territory, and its intelligence was imaginable.

As a formal member, he could enjoy all non-confidential intelligence.
