CHAPTER 1240 MASTER OF THE NAMELESS EMPEROR'S TOMB
"So, this is what it's like outside, huh? The air and everything just feels so different," Xi Meili remarked casually as she and Yuan exited Ancient Dragon City. She took a deep breath, savoring the change in atmosphere.
"Well, we're not exactly 'outside' yet, since we are still within the Nameless Emperor's Tomb," Yuan said.
As they left the portal platform, a notification appeared before Yuan.
A real-time projection of Xi Meili appeared the next moment, causing Yuan to raise an eyebrow.
'Since when did I become the master of this place?' he wondered inwardly.
Naturally, he refused to kick Xi Meili out of the Nameless Emperor's Tomb.
"Do you want to look around before we leave?" Yuan asked Xi Meili, who immediately nodded her head.
"Alright, give me a minute to figure something out. You can look around this building in the meantime."
"Sure."
As Xi Meili wandered the building, Yuan began trying to figure out what he could do as the master of the Nameless Emperor's Tomb.
A menu with multiple options showed up when he tried to sense his connection with the Nameless Emperor's Tomb.
[Map][NPC][Treasures][Trials][Other]
When he tapped on the [Map] option, the entirety of the Nameless Emperor's Tomb showed up on a massive map, and on this map marked all of the available trials within the tomb, as well as all of the hidden treasures and traps. Belonging to .
"There's a lot more to this place than I thought. Why did I even make such a place? Surely, it wasn't prepared just for me, as there are trials and treasures that won't benefit me."
When he tapped on a location map, another notification appeared before him.
"Oh, this is really convenient, especially for exploration."
Next, he opened up the [Treasures] option, and just as its name suggested, it listed all treasures in the Nameless Emperor's Tomb, including those that weren't available at the moment, such as treasures that have yet to spawn, as well as treasures that would only appear if certain conditions are met.
There were hundreds of thousands of treasures available, and when Yuan tapped on a random treasure, a new notification appeared.
Out of curiosity, Yuan retrieved the treasure.
The treasure materialized right in front of him the next moment.
"..."
Yuan was speechless.
Having unrestricted access to all the treasures concealed within the Nameless Emperor's Tomb was a game-changer of epic proportions. If word got out to the outside world, it would undoubtedly drive people into a frenzy. After all, while most had to risk life and limb to lay hands on something valuable, Yuan could simply obtain it with a mere whim.
Unfortunately, most of these treasures were useless for him. There were some decently valuable resources, but he didn't really need them at the moment, as he wouldn't be able to transcend Spirit King without evolving his physique.
Yuan proceeded to sort the treasures from the rarest to the most common.
The highest grade of equipment available was Ancient-grade, and there were only six of them left.
'Although I won't have any use for them, I can sell them for some money.'
Yuan remembered how poor he was in terms of currency and decided to snatch the Ancient-grade treasures to sell later. He also retrieved a bunch of cultivation resources and some Divine-grade treasures, but he had no intentions of selling those, as he planned on giving them to his friends.
He thought about giving the Ancient-grade treasures, but they were simply too powerful and had extremely high stat requirements that would require them years of cultivating to meet.
'Since these are technically mine, there shouldn't be any problems if I take some…' Yuan thought to himself as he stored the treasures in a separate spatial ring.
He looked at the [Trials] option next, and as expected, it showed all of the available trials in the Nameless Emperor's Tomb, as well as their intricacies.
Next, he peeked into [NPC], which listed all of the NPCs that assisted the Nameless Emperor's Tomb. Yuan noticed Jin Xi's name at the very top of this list, and his immediate response was to try and summon her.
However, Yuan quickly stopped himself and decided against summoning Jin Xi, as he did not want to ruin the last moments he had with her.
There were other NPCs, but they were just generic individuals created only for the purpose of their specific trials. Monsters were also categorized as NPCs.
Yuan looked into [Other] next.
With this option, he could basically change anything he wanted about the Nameless Emperor's Tomb. He could shift mountains and rivers, breathe life into existence, and erase anything he chose. In this world, he was literally God.
He also realized that he could bring the Nameless Emperor's Tomb with him on his journey if he desired.
There was so much he could do with the Nameless Emperor's Tomb, but Yuan decided to keep everything the same— as it was intended by his incarnation.
Sometime later, Xi Meili returned to the room.
"What kind of scenery do you want to see?" Yuan suddenly asked her.
Xi Meili pondered for a moment before responding, "I would like to see an ocean."
Yuan nodded, and he proceeded to teleport them to an area in the Nameless Emperor's Tomb that had the best-looking ocean scenery.
"What just happened?" Xi Meili was greatly surprised by what he had just done.
"As the owner of this place, I can teleport us anywhere I want within this world," he causally explained.
"What exactly is this place?"
"The Nameless Emperor's Tomb. It was created by my incarnation."
"Your what?" Xi Meili looked at him with wide eyes.
Yuan then said with a serious expression, "Since you'll be following me, I think it's only right to tell you a little more about me."
Xi Meili swallowed nervously after sensing the change in atmosphere, and she had never seen Yuan so serious before.
"Go ahead…"
"This might sound crazy but…" Yuan proceeded to tell her about his true identity— how he was the reincarnation of several prominent figures in the Nine Heavens and that he was in the process of regaining their memories.
