Chapter 2045 Legendary Treasury

After everyone settled in, Yun Lintian sought seclusion within the tower, determined to hone his strength. His first order of business was the treasury.

Li Shan led Yun Lintian and the others through a hidden passage within the tower, arriving at a cavern. A colossal jade door stood in the center, its surface etched with swirling symbols that pulsed with a faint golden light.

Reverence etched on his face, Li Shan approached the door and placed his palm on a designated spot. The symbols flared brightly, and with a hiss, the door slid open, revealing a shimmering portal.

"The traps are deactivated," Li Shan announced.

Yun Lintian gave a curt nod. "Lead the way."

Stepping through the portal with Li Shan and the others, Yun Lintian found himself in a vast, ethereal space. The cavernous treasury stretched before him, impossibly vast and bathed in an otherworldly glow. Luminous pearls, embedded in the ceiling like constellations, cast a soft light that danced across towering shelves overflowing with treasures.

Carved from obsidian, the shelves gleamed like polished mirrors, reflecting the unbelievable bounty they held. Rows upon rows of gleaming weapons shimmered with an inner fire, each hilt adorned with intricate carvings of mythical beasts or swirling constellations.

Jade tablets whispered secrets in forgotten tongues, their cryptic runes promising lost knowledge and potent techniques. Stacks of ancient scrolls, their edges softened by time, emanated a faint, musty scent that spoke of forgotten lore and powerful spells.

The air crackled with a potent energy, a tangible manifestation of the countless treasures housed within. Awe coursed through Yun Lintian as he stood overwhelmed by the sheer scale and power of the Yellow Emperor's legendary hoard.

Each artifact whispered of ancient battles, forgotten dynasties, and the boundless power wielded by divinities of bygone eras. In the center of the chamber, a single pedestal of polished jade stood sentinel.

This was the first time Yun Lintian had ever witnessed such a staggering amount of heavenly treasures.

"Do you remember anything about this place, City Lord Li?" Yun Lintian inquired.

Li Shan smiled faintly. "Just call me by name directly… Unfortunately, my memory remains hazy. However, the treasures here exude a powerful ancient aura and seem well-preserved. Using them shouldn't be an issue."

Yun Lintian nodded and stepped forward.

As they ventured deeper into the Yellow Emperor's treasury, the air grew heavy with the scent of aged parchment and enchanted metals.

Yun Lintian scanned the dazzling arrays of treasures, unsure how they could aid his progress. Then, a flash of azure caught his eye – a shard of light nestled among the vials like a forgotten jewel.

Drawn by an invisible force, he reached out and retrieved a palm-sized chunk of jade. The moment his skin touched its cool surface, a wave of energy surged through him, invigorating his spiritual core like a life-giving draught.

Visions flooded his mind: swirling galaxies, celestial bodies radiating an otherworldly glow, and a figure cloaked in starlight, ancient and impossibly wise. The figure spoke in a voice that echoed with the music of the spheres, its words weaving a tapestry of knowledge about celestial energy – the very essence that fueled the stars and birthed immortals.

As the vision receded, Yun Lintian gripped the jade tighter, awe coursing through him. "What is this?" he whispered.

Li Shan examined the azure jade, his brow furrowing in concentration. He sensed a deep importance within it, yet his memory remained elusive.

Lin Yitong extended her palm. "May I see it?"

Yun Lintian passed the jade to her.

The moment the jade touched Lin Yitong's hand, a similar vision assaulted her mind. Her gentle aura involuntarily flared around her, responding to the jade's energy.

A moment later, Lin Yitong lowered her head, examining the jade in her hand. "It possesses the very aura of the Primordial Era," she declared.

"It's far stronger than anything I experienced in Nine Firmament City back then," Yun Lintian agreed.

"I can't absorb it, but that shouldn't be a problem for you," Lin Yitong said, returning the jade to Yun Lintian.

Curiosity sparked in Yun Lintian's eyes. "Is there anything here that could enhance your strength, Senior?"

Lin Yitong scanned the room briefly. "Those weapons," she pointed, "were likely crafted by the finest artisans of that era. And have you noticed those Divine Stones? Their quality far surpasses the best-graded ones we have in the Land of Beyond Heaven."

"Feel free to choose whatever suits you, Senior," Yun Lintian offered. "I'll explore further later."

Turning to Yun Yi and the others, he announced, "Everyone, feel free to take anything that resonates with you. No need for formalities."

Without a word, Yun Yi and the others dispersed, searching for treasures that might benefit them.

Noticing Nantian Fengyu lingering, Yun Lintian inquired, "What about you, Fifth Sister? I recall you didn't have a suitable weapon."

"Who said I don't have it?" Nantian Fengyu responded gently, opening her palm to reveal a breathtaking sword. It embodied the fiery essence of the Divine Phoenix. The blade itself was forged from a rare, crimson-hued metal that shimmered with an inner fire. Intricate feathers, seemingly alive with latent heat, adorned its surface.

The handle, crafted from the nigh-indestructible bone of a phoenix ancestor, was wrapped in fiery-red silk that trailed off into streamers resembling phoenix feathers.

"What is this?" Yun Lintian exclaimed, stunned. He could feel a stir within the Divine Phoenix Soul residing in his body.

Nantian Fengyu smiled brightly. "It's the Phoenix Feather Sword."

Bewildered, Yun Lintian questioned, "Where did you acquire it, Fifth Sister?"

Nantian Fengyu offered no secrets. "It's from the phoenix jade."

"Oh?" Understanding dawned on Yun Lintian. "Was it... her weapon?"

Nantian Fengyu reached out and caressed the crimson blade with a hint of sadness in her eyes. "Yes," she confirmed. "The ancestral weapon of the first Divine Phoenix."

Yun Lintian fell silent. It was undoubtedly Nantian Feng's weapon, likely kept by Nantian Yu as a memento of her mother.

"Try it," Nantian Fengyu urged, handing the sword to Yun Lintian.

As Yun Lintian reached for the weapon, phoenix flames erupted from his body.

Scree—

A crack split the sky above the city, widening to reveal a swirling vortex of molten gold. From within, a magnificent cry echoed a sound that resonated with the very essence of fire and life. A colossal phoenix, its feathers shimmering with every imaginable color, emerged from the rift, its fiery eyes blazing with an otherworldly power...
