Chapter 1655: Chapter 1655

Ye Guan looked at Mu Xinghe and asked, "Since you have the support of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, why are you still poor?"

Mu Xinghe sighed softly and replied, "Brother, you may not know this, but even though Immortal Treasures Pavilion had decided to help us, our Stellar Civilization's economy has only improved slightly. Compared to what we need for cultivation, it's just a drop in the bucket. It is completely insufficient."

Ye Guan also felt somewhat helpless. Just as this guy said, the cost of cultivation in this civilization was truly excessive.

Star Core Crystals! One thousand Ancestral Spiritual Crystals could barely be exchanged for a single Star Core Crystal! And most cultivators in this civilization needed Star Core Crystals to cultivate... who could afford that?

Ye Guan withdrew from his thoughts and looked at Mu Xinghe with a helpless face.

Mu Xinghe's lips curled bitterly.

Ye Guan asked, "Which training tower should I go to?"

"The Supreme Tier..." Mu Xinghe immediately replied. Then, he hesitated, saying, "Brother, you're a Circle Breker. Do you not have any idea just how strong you are?"

Ye Guan calmly said, "A Circle Breaker... Honestly, it's not that big of a deal."

Mu Xinghe's expression froze. Damn, why does this guy talk ...

Ye Guan said, "I just arrived in the Origin Universe, and I'm still not very familiar with this place. So, I came to your civilization's training tower. I didn't expect that none of you were Circle Breakers."

Mu Xinghe's face darkened. Why does everything this guy says sound so pretentious?

"I'm leaving," Ye Guan said and turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Mu Xinghe suddenly stopped him.

Ye Guan turned to him in confusion.

Mu Xinghe asked, "Brother, are you planning to go to a Supreme tower?"

Mu Xinghe said, "Then you probably don't have enough money."

His heart ached, as Ye Guan's money once belonged to them.

Ye Guan noticed he had something in mind, so he asked, "So what do you suggest...?"

Mu Xinghe quickly said, "Go to the Forbidden Divine Tomb!"

Ye Guan looked puzzled. "Forbidden Divine Tomb?"

Mu Xinghe nodded eagerly, saying, "There are four major forbidden zones in the Origin Universe—the Divine Tomb, Ancient Relics, Hundred Races Ruins, and the legendary Ascension Battles Road. We should go to the Forbidden Divine Tomb. A ruin was recently discovered there..." Thɪs chapter is updated by NovєlFіre.net

"The Divine Tomb isn't simple. In the past, people discovered Ancestral Spirit Veins and even legendary Supreme Artifacts there..."

Ye Guan asked, "Is it dangerous?"

Mu Xinghe hesitated before replying, "Of course it's dangerous."

Ye Guan nodded, "Then let's go. If there's no danger, it'll be boring."

Mu Xinghe was at a loss for words.

Ye Guan asked, "How do we get there?"

Mu Xinghe quickly said, "We'll take you."

Ye Guan looked at the siblings. "You two?"

Mu Xinghe nodded. "Yes, yes. We were just about to go ourselves. It would be great to go together. What do you think... is that okay?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Alright."

Little Pagoda asked, "Shouldn't you be going to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion?"

Ye Guan replied, "Master Pagoda, mind your own business. I want to show...no...I want to experience an ordinary person's life."

"You just want to show off."

Ye Guan chose not to respond.

Hearing Ye Guan agree, Mu Xinghe got excited. He and his sister weren't exactly afraid of going alone, but some areas were just too dangerous to visit by themselves.

With this swordsman, however, it'd be like having a cheat code.

Ye Guan didn't want to waste time, so they immediately headed for the so-called Divine Tomb.

Along the way, Mu Xinghe told him more about the Divine Tomb.

The Divine Tomb's exact history remained unknown. When the Divine Dao Clan arrived here, the Forbidden Divine Tomb was already present. Back then, the Divine Dao Clan had mobilized everything to explore the tomb, but for some unknown reason, they withdrew and lost many experts in the process.

Since then, the Divine Tomb had become a forbidden zone in the Origin Universe.

Before long, Mu Xinghe and his sister brought Ye Guan to the Divine Tomb. The entrance was deep in vast mountains. After passing through several hundred thousand kilometers of mountain ranges, they finally arrived at the entrance.

To Ye Guan's surprise, near the entrance, there was a large city built into the mountains.

Mu Xinghe said, "This is Immortal Treasures City, built by the Immortal Treasures Pavilion."

Ye Guan was curious. "Built by the Immortal Treasures Pavilion?"

Mu Xinghe nodded. "They built it in a month. Now, they earn hundreds of thousands of Ancestral Spiritual Crystals every day."

Both he and his sister Mu Xingchen had open envy in their eyes.

Earning hundreds of thousands a day...

Ye Guan's heart thumped hard when he heard this.

Soon, the three reached the city gates. Ye Guan asked, "Do we need to pay an entrance fee?"

Mu Xinghe shook his head. "No."

Ye Guan nodded. "That's nice."

Mu Xinghe added, "But there's a temporary stay fee."

Ye Guan turned to him. Mu Xinghe explained, "If you stay less than an hour, it's free. If you stay more than an hour, you have to pay ten Ancestral Spiritual Crystals. That gives you three days. After that, you have to renew."

Ye Guan was lost for words.

Mu Xinghe pointed to a wall by the gate. "You can swipe your card there."

Ye Guan looked at him. "Swipe a card?"

"You don't know? Oh, right, you're new here. Swiping cards is... the Immortal Treasures Pavilion has a department called Immortal Treasures Bank. It's basically a place to store your money.

If you store your money there, they'll give you an annual interest. For example, store one million Ancestral Spiritual Crystals, and you'll get thirty thousand extra a year. It's about a three percent annual interest.

"If you store more, like ten million, you can negotiate up to five percent. You also become a 'Supreme Client' and get all kinds of benefits.

"If we were Supreme Clients, Immortal Treasures Pavilion would send someone to greet us."

Ye Guan was lost for words.

Mu Xinghe added, "I heard from brothers in other civilizations that their civilizations store millions in the Pavilion, and they receive gifts every month. They're not expensive gifts, but they look good, you know? Plus, if you're in trouble, Immortal Treasures Pavilion might help you resolve it..."

Ye Guan asked, "People trust them that much to store all their money there?"

"At first, no one trusted them. But later, they did."

"Because the other four Supreme Powers all vouched for them and stored massive funds with them. Later, everyone saw that the Immortal Treasures Pavilion was fair and trustworthy, so they began to save there.

"Most importantly, they offer loans. Who doesn't run into an emergency? So more and more civilizations started working with them..."

Ye Guan nodded. "So that's how it is."

Mu Xinghe walked over and swiped a card.

Ye Guan glanced at it silently.

Noticing his gaze, Mu Xinghe quickly said, "Brother, there are only a few hundred crystals left on this card..."

Ye Guan nodded, "I wasn't implying anything."

They continued on. Along the way, Mu Xinghe said, "Before entering the Divine Tomb, we need to prepare a few essential items."

Ye Guan asked, "What kind of items?"

Mu Xinghe said, "Formation guarding talismans, soul calming pills, and most importantly, hazard maps."

Ye Guan furrowed his brow, unfamiliar with the terms.

Mu Xinghe explained, "Formation guarding talismans protect against the residual formations inside the Divine Tomb. Many formations are still active and very powerful. These talismans can reduce a lot of trouble. They were developed jointly by an Array Civilization and Immortal Treasures Pavilion. One talisman costs six thousand eight hundred Ancestral Spiritual Crystals..."

Ye Guan was speechless.

Mu Xinghe continued, "Soul calming pills stabilize the soul. Some areas affect the soul directly, and these pills help in the early stages."

Ye Guan asked, "And hazard maps?"

"They're drawn jointly by Immortal Treasures Pavilion and the four Supreme Divine Civilizations. They show which places are safe and which are dangerous. If you insist on going into danger, the maps include detailed data. They're essential."

"If I buy one, can I resell it to others at a lower price?"

"In theory, yes. But you'd offend all five superpowers."

"According to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, you'd be violating their ‘intellectual property rights.' So they'd come after you."

Ye Guan was dumbfounded.

Mu Xinghe added, "Not just one but all five supreme powers will come for you. Think about it...who can stand up to all five at once?"

Ye Guan had nothing to say.

Mu Xinghe remarked, "Also, they constantly update the maps. What works this month may be obsolete next month. Due to strange formations, new ruins pop up inside the Forbidden Zone all the time."

Ye Guan nodded. "Makes sense."

Mu Xinghe sighed, saying, "Immortal Treasures Pavilion is really loaded. I heard they have a Young Pavilion Master... Damn, that bastard is so lucky. He was born rich and will never run out of money. What do you think, brother?"
