Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System Chapter 2072: Treasure

"Oh? It seems there is still a Supreme Being available for recruitment."

Chu Yuan fell into silent contemplation with his eyes closed. Soon, a faint smile touched his lips. "Yanran, I recognize the place you speak of—the Treasure Realm. You mean the Supreme Being of Treasures. He is the preeminent Divine Artifact among all Supreme Beings, the most formidable weapon in existence, and the greatest Artifact Refining Master of his rank. While his raw combat power might not be the absolute peak, he still commands the might of a top-tier Supreme Being. He would indeed be a valuable addition to the empire."

"Exactly. It is the Supreme Being of Treasures, known simply as Treasure."

Yanran gave a small nod. "His true form is that of a divine weapon; his existence owes much to the King of Supreme Beings. Had the King not refined him personally, he never would have attained the status of a Supreme Being. During the Great Battle of the Supreme Beings, although he sided with the King, he never actually struck out against him, acting only out of a sense of obligation and helplessness."

"He understood the art of self-preservation once he witnessed the King of Supreme Beings' downfall. Out of respect for their past bond, that was the extent of his involvement," Chu Yuan remarked.

"Bringing the Supreme Being of Treasures into our faction would bolster our military strength immensely. He has forged an endless array of divine weapons, and every inhabitant of the Treasure Realm is itself a potent divine weapon," Yanran explained.

"If Treasure joins us, it will be a massive advantage," Chu Yuan concurred. "It appears I should travel to the Treasure Realm immediately to have a thorough talk with him. During the previous Battle of the Supreme Beings, he managed to stay neutral and survive, but the era has shifted; he won't have the luxury of sitting on the sidelines this time."

"Chu Yuan, what is your strategy for this discussion?" Yanran inquired.

"The usual method. I shall attempt to move him with emotion and convince him through logic," Chu Yuan replied.

Yanran understood his meaning perfectly. When Chu Yuan spoke of 'emotion and logic,' it meant that if Treasure proved stubborn, the consequences would be devastating.

"Very well. I will accompany you to the Treasure Realm; I also wish to speak with Treasure personally."

Even as they spoke, Chu Yuan and Yanran vanished, reappearing instantly on the outskirts of the Treasure Realm.

A gargantuan world stretched out before them, sealed by a cosmic barrier. It shimmered with a spectrum of brilliant hues, protected by a dense crystal wall that served as a massive, world-spanning Formation.

This was a secluded Supreme Being Realm. Entry was restricted to outsiders, as the realm was populated entirely by various forms of treasures.

However, Chu Yuan did not force his way inside as he had done with the Supreme Being of Blood. Instead, he stood outside the barrier, waiting for the Supreme Being of Treasures to acknowledge his presence.

This was a display of absolute confidence and ambition.

Given Chu Yuan's current reputation and power, Treasure would surely realize that cooperation was the only logical path.

"There is more than one Supreme Being within the Treasure Realm; another has emerged alongside him," Chu Yuan noted.

"Treasure, won't you come out to greet your guests?" Yanran called out.

"Reincarnation Supreme Being, and the Martial Emperor—your arrival is a great honor. Your sudden visit has caught me quite off guard," a voice responded.

Treasure finally showed himself.

He appeared as an elderly man with hair as black as ink, dressed in simple white robes, radiating the aura of a gentle and scholarly patriarch.

Yet, he was not to be trifled with; he was the most powerful divine weapon in the Supreme Being Realm.

Though he maintained a pleasant smile on the outside, he was inwardly on high alert. He was well aware of the Martial Emperor’s deeds—a man so ruthless and powerful that even the Supreme Being of Blood had fallen by his hand.

In these times, such visitors rarely came for a friendly chat.

The only reason the Martial Emperor and the Reincarnation Supreme Being hadn't attacked yet was because they intended to negotiate first.

Chu Yuan’s vision pierced through Treasure’s physical shell, instantly revealing his true nature. Treasure was no longer bound to a single weapon form; he was a fluid mass of energy, capable of manifesting as any type of divine weapon imaginable.

Under Chu Yuan’s intense scrutiny, Treasure felt a crushing weight of pressure settle on his heart.

"I have come to your Treasure Realm; are you not going to invite me inside for a seat?" Chu Yuan said calmly.

"Please, enter."

Treasure realized that against such opponents, no barrier he possessed could truly stop them. The walls of the Treasure Realm would crumble before their power.

It was better to welcome them with dignity.

As they entered the heart of the Treasure Realm, they were met with an explosion of divine light and beautiful mists. The very air was saturated with the True Qi of Treasure. Merely breathing this air provided immense benefits to the cultivation of any treasure's Artifact Spirit.

It was a paradise designed specifically for the growth of treasures.

Chu Yuan observed countless sentient magical treasures.

These Artifact Spirits treated their weapon forms as physical bodies, using their intelligence as a soul to live independently, serving no master.

"If Hu were to enter this realm, his chances of ascending to a Supreme Being would be significantly higher," Chu Yuan mused.

Hu was also an Artifact Spirit of a Supreme Divine Artifact. With Treasure’s guidance and this concentrated True Qi, his potential would be limitless.

His gaze swept across the landscape.

He noticed the latent power within the realm; the defensive Formation alone was strong enough to destroy a typical Supreme Being if they were foolish enough to enter without permission.

Of course, that required the intruder to be trapped within the inner realm first.

"Please, enter the Hall of Myriad Treasures." Treasure remained extremely cautious.

No one would dare be careless in this situation.

Not only was the Reincarnation Supreme Being a legendary figure from the era of the King of Supreme Beings, but the rising Martial Emperor was even more terrifying. In their brief meeting, Treasure already sensed he was the weaker party.

The Hall of Myriad Treasures was a glowing sanctuary and a Supreme Divine Artifact in its own right, with an Artifact Spirit possessing the strength of a Heavenly Emperor.

In this realm, everything was a treasure.

"There is another Supreme Being here; let him show himself as well," Yanran declared.

Treasure paused for a moment before nodding. "Heavenly Furnace, come out. Since the Reincarnation Supreme Being wishes for you to be present, join our discussion."

"Very well."

A deep, booming voice answered.

Heavenly Furnace had been hidden in the realm's core, managing the defensive arrays and preparing for any sudden conflict.

He stepped forward, a massive, tower-like man radiating the heat of a forge. He felt like a furnace that never stopped burning.

His true form was indeed a colossal cauldron known as the Heavenly Furnace.

This furnace could refine any material into a treasure.

Treasure had forged him specifically for crafting, but over time, he developed high intelligence and eventually reached the status of a Supreme Being under Treasure's tutelage.

It could be said that Heavenly Furnace owed his entire existence to Treasure.

While he wasn't as strong as the Sun and Moon Supreme or the Blood Supreme, he was certainly more powerful than the Ten Thousand Evils Supreme.

"Reincarnation Supreme Being, Martial Emperor, the news of you slaying the Sun and Moon Supreme, the Ten Thousand Evils Supreme, and the Blood Supreme has reached every corner of the world. I am well aware of your strength. So, tell me, why have you come to my Treasure Realm today?"

As Treasure spoke, he subtly gathered his Qi, making his own formidable presence known.
