78 -78: Fragment of Pangu Axe

“Hm?”

Although no emotion showed on his face, Jiang Chen’s heart was full of doubt.

Having been in the West Journey world for so many years, he had never seen the Dao Appraisal undergo such intense changes before.

He wondered what kind of treasure in the Dragon Clan’s trove could make the Dao Appraisal so desperate to have it.

Could it be a shard of the Chaos Orb?

A hunch formed in Jiang Chen’s heart.

In this world, perhaps only shards of the Chaos Orb, originating from the same source as the Dao Appraisal, could resonate with it.

After all, they were among the few things that could restore the Dao Appraisal.

However, upon further thought, Jiang Chen questioned this idea.

A shard of the Chaos Orb should be considered an Innate Spiritual Treasure, after all.

Even if the East Sea Dragon King was very generous, Jiang Chen doubted he would give him such a treasure.

He wasn’t someone of extraordinary standing, not worthy of the East Sea Dragon King’s extreme favor.

He was at least self-aware enough to understand that.

But if the treasure wasn’t a shard of the Chaos Orb, what could it be?

Thoughts raced in his mind, but nothing betrayed his internal turmoil on his face.

He calmly followed behind the East Sea Dragon King, headed for the main hall.

Dwelling on it now was pointless, he’d find out once he entered the hall.

“Open!”

Upon reaching the main hall’s entrance, the East Sea Dragon King took out a delicate jade seal, held it up, and shone it onto the gigantic door.

After a soft creaking sound, the door slowly opened.

“Let’s go in!

All the treasures I’ve collected since ancient times are in this hall.” The East Sea Dragon King chuckled lightly and led the way into the hall.

Regardless of this, although Jiang Chen’s face showed sheer excitement, his heart was quite indifferent.

If this hall were the Dragon Palace’s biggest treasure vault, Jiang Chen was willing to literally stick his head on a pike for the East Sea Dragon King to kick.

Why was Jiang Chen so confident?

Note that he has not even stepped into the hall yet; he doesn’t know what lies inside.

Because he did not sense the aura of any Dragon Clan treasures in the hall.

How could a Dragon Clan’s treasure vault lack Dragon Clan treasures?

It could only mean that this vault was a mere decoy, while the real one lay elsewhere.

There was where the true Dragon Clan’s treasury resided, brimming with endless wealth accumulated since the creation of the world.

In the real Dragon Clan’s treasury, even the Innate Spiritual Treasures might be common.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen couldn’t go there for now.

He wasn’t yet eligible.

However, once his status increases in the future and backed by his ancestral dragon bloodline, he might be able to visit the real Dragon Clan’s treasury and have a good time.

…

…

As soon as Jiang Chen entered the grand hall, he was dazzled by the glint of the treasures before him.

It took a while for his eyes to adjust, and then he slowly opened them.

At this moment, what took hold of his gaze was a room filled with postnatal spiritual treasures, numbering in the thousands.

In the center of the hall, there hovered hundreds of light clusters.

Each one emitted a blinding treasure light, with an aura of astonishing oppressive force spreading around.

These were all postnatal treasures, as well as a variety of prenatal rarities.

The one that attracted the Dao Appraisal was among them.

Even though they were not as valuable as the Innate Spiritual Treasures, they were still quite rare.

If any one of them were to appear in the Three Realms, it would cause a bloodbath.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was even more certain that the East Sea Dragon King was playing the role of Sun Wukong.

Consider the items here; isn’t any one of them stronger than the nine-pronged vajra and the square-painted halberd?

Particularly among those postnatal treasures, Jiang Chen even felt some items that were in no way inferior to the Sea Pacifying God Needle.

If the East Sea Dragon King had any intentions, he wouldn’t cheat Sun Wukong with a few pieces of scrap metal.

While Jiang Chen was lost in thought, the East Sea Dragon King’s voice suddenly came to his ears:

“My young friend, these are all the treasures of my Dragon Palace.

You can choose one piece from these treasures to take away, as an apology from us.”

At his words, Jiang Chen’s lips twitched, he said with an excited look, “Junior thanks the Dragon King.”

What a joke!

If these were all the treasures of the Dragon Clan, then the Dragon Clan’s days would indeed be too miserable.

How could they dominate the Four Seas?

They would have been swallowed up a long time ago and nothing would be left.

These savings were not even comparable to the Jiang Family’s treasure vault.

But while he knew the truth, Jiang Chen wouldn’t foolishly expose it.

After going through the formalities and exchanging pleasantries with East Sea Dragon King, he began to stroll around the great hall.

He didn’t rush to the item he had his eye on, as it would make his intentions too obvious.

Instead, Jiang Chen first made a few rounds in the hall, looking at this piece and that, before he naturally ended up at the place where the item attracting the Dao Appraisal was located.

At that moment, Jiang Chen finally saw the true appearance of the coveted item.

It was a common-looking black iron fragment, smooth without any patterns.

If not for the innate spiritual energy surrounding it, it really wouldn’t be distinguishable from an ordinary object.

But it was this unremarkable-looking piece of iron that resonated with the Dao Appraisal.

Could this be…

Without warning, the Dao Appraisal started to tremble.

Then, an indescribable giant axe shadow flashed across Jiang Chen’s mind.

The Pangu Axe!

The Open Sky Divine Axe – the Pangu Axe!

The giant axe that had flashed across Jiang Chen’s mind was none other than the legendary most powerful treasure—Pangu Axe.

Because, in relation to the Dao Appraisal, no other axe existed except for the Pangu Axe.

In an instant, Jiang Chen understood the origin of the iron fragment before him.

It was a fragment of the Chaos Treasure Pangu Axe.

…

According to the information Jiang Chen obtained from the Dao Appraisal, when the Heaven and Earth were first opened, the Pangu Axe shattered due to the inability to bear the rebound of the power of the Heaven and Earth.

Most of its fragments turned into the three great treasures of Creation.

However, some fragments were swept away by the frenzied force of the four great elements—land, fire, water, and wind—and scattered into the Prehistoric World, disappearing without a trace.

The Dao Appraisal was transformed from one of these fragments combined with a shard of the Chaos Orb.

As for the iron fragment in front of him now, it was likely one of the Pangu Axe fragments that had fallen onto the Prehistoric World.

Somehow, it ended up in the Dragon Clan’s possession and was stored in this treasury.

Seeing Jiang Chen pause before the shattered Pangu Axe, the East Sea Dragon King moved closer and asked, “Oh?

Have you taken a liking to this piece of celestial iron, my young friend?”

Hearing him refer to it that way, Jiang Chen knew that he was unaware of the true origins of the item.

It made sense; if the East Sea Dragon King had known it was a fragment of the Pangu Axe, he wouldn’t leave it here for outsiders to claim.

He’d have hidden it from prying eyes.

In this world, gods shield their treasures—it wasn’t a mere saying.
