Primordial Harem System

Chapter 306 Leaving

The spirit bowed slightly. "Indeed, Master. These techniques demand exceptional cultivation and mastery over Laws. For now, I recommend considering King Grade techniques, as you may claim any treasure of King Grade or below without undergoing a trial."

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Looks like the Monarch was truly generous. Take me to the King Grade techniques. Let's see what's available."

The spirit guided him to another section of the island, where the energy was less overwhelming but still potent.

Here, the scrolls and tablets glowed with vibrant hues, each one containing knowledge that could elevate an ordinary blacksmith to a revered Ancestor in a sect.

The spirit gestured toward a glowing scroll. "This is the Heavenly Tempering Method, a King Grade technique that focuses on enhancing durability and resonance between the artifact and its wielder.

It is particularly effective for crafting weapons meant for prolonged use in battle. And it also helps the user master Intents faster."

Shen Yuan picked up the scroll, feeling the warmth of its energy. "This could be useful."

The spirit pointed to another scroll, this one emanating a blue-gold aura. "This is the Auric Forge Technique, a King Grade method for imbuing artifacts with elemental affinities.

It allows the user to create weapons and tools that channel specific elemental energies more effectively."

Shen Yuan's eyes flashed as he examined the scrolls. "The Auric Forge Technique... This might come in handy. I'll take both of these."

The spirit bowed. "As you wish, Master. You may freely claim any King Grade techniques or treasures without restriction."

Shen Yuan tucked the scroll into his spatial ring and scanned the shelves once more. "I'll save the higher-grade techniques for when I'm ready to face their trials. For now, this will suffice."

The spirit floated beside him, its tone respectful. "Wise decision, Master. It is better to prepare adequately before attempting the higher challenges."

Shen Yuan turned to the spirit, his gaze calm. "Let's continue exploring. I want to see what other treasures this treasury has to offer before I leave."

The spirit nodded. "Of course, Master. There is still much to discover."

With that, the two continued their journey through the Ancestral Treasury, Shen Yuan's mind buzzing with possibilities as his gaze roamed over the absurd amount of fortune that the Pagoda-Bearing Monarch had amassed over the years.

The spirit nodded. "Indeed, Master. The Ethereal Silk Robe is favored by many for its practicality and adaptability. Unlike Sovereign Grade treasures, it imposes no trials for acquisition. You can claim it freely."

A faint smile formed on Shen Yuan's lips as he lifted the robe, feeling its light weight. "Practical and low-maintenance. I'll take it."

With a thought, he stored the robe in his spatial ring, already envisioning how useful it would be in both combat and cultivation. "This treasury truly knows how to cater to my every need."

The spirit floated beside him, its tone respectful. "A wise choice, Master. The Ethereal Silk Robe will serve you well on your journey."

He moved on, coming across an island surrounded by glowing orbs. As he drew closer, the orbs hummed, their light intensifying. "What are these?" Shen Yuan asked.

"These are Soul Orbs, each containing condensed spiritual energy. They are used to temper the soul and expand the Sea of Consciousness. However, you can take these freely as most of them are at the King Grade," the spirit replied.

Shen Yuan stepped back, noting the treasure in his mind for future use. "I'll return for these when my cultivation has advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm."

The next island housed a massive collection of swords. Each weapon floated upright, its blade gleaming with power. Shen Yuan's gaze fell on a sword with a dark, jagged edge surrounded by an ominous aura.

"That sword feels... alive," he muttered.

The spirit explained, "That is the Void Cleaver, a Sovereign Grade sword forged from Void Essence. It can disrupt spatial constructs and tear through barriers. However, it requires mastery over Space Laws and Sword Law to claim."

Shen Yuan smirked but shook his head. "I will pass for now. I already have a good sword."

'And not like I can claim it anyway.' He softly laughed to himself.

As the hours passed, Shen Yuan's exploration led him to more wonders—enchanted scrolls, celestial herbs, and artifacts of myriad uses.

However, despite his curiosity, he refrained from claiming anything beyond King Grade, knowing the trials for higher-grade items would just kill him at his current level.

After what felt like an eternity of wandering, Shen Yuan paused on a floating platform. "This treasury truly seems endless," he remarked.

The spirit nodded. "Indeed, Master. The Ancestral Pagoda's Treasury is vast, and exploring it fully would take quite a long time due to so many lesser-quality treasures. Many treasures lie hidden in deeper layers, waiting for the right moment."
