Chapter 378: Secret Realm of Inheritance (2)
A month later, after the secret realm first opened, Nash stopped in his tracks.

[The Secret Realm is about to close]

“Not enough…”

Hearing the secret realm was about to close, Nash felt reluctant.

During this time, he had only crossed over 75 doors.

This might seem low, but the knowledge he gained was beyond imagination.

Much less creating a complete void manual, the knowledge he learned could even relate to the elements and law.

Nash felt that if he learned all the knowledge in all the steles, he would be set on the path to power.

Unfortunately, seeing the secret realm was about to close, Nash could only pause.

“End trial. Take me to the treasure vault.”

[Ending the Trial…]

[Calculating the rewards]

[Reward: Badge of Knowledge (Copper)]

[Transmitting to the S5 Treasure Vault]

“This—another badge?”

It was similar to the Badge of Combat, made of copper tin, with incomprehensible runic commands etched across it.

“I wonder if I could collect all types of this badge?”

Now, no longer ignorant, he realized that each badge granted special access to the secret realm. He estimated that with more badges, he could have more time, more rewards, and even direct access to any secret realm.

Unfortunately, it seemed collecting them wasn’t easy.

Unfortunately, collecting them wasn’t easy. Just finding a secret realm was time-consuming enough, much less the hidden mechanism to get it.

Soon, before his thoughts could go any further, he was enveloped by a blinding light, which transported him to the treasure vault.

—

[Welcome to the S5 Treasure Vault]

“Is this the upper level of the A1 Treasure Vault from before?” Nash deduced.

Looking at the bigger space with a thicker concentration of energy, he thought his chances had finally come.

While he didn’t face opponents like in the previous secret realm, each door he understood earned him points. The higher he climbed, the more points he amassed.

By his calculations, he had earned a total of 51 million points, more than triple his previous score.

“I should be able to get some decent shelter treasure this time…” Nash thought excitedly.

He hadn’t forgotten his main goal in the secret realm: to obtain another shelter treasure.

This treasure would determine whether they could conquer the cluster resource they had found or not.

Looking around, Nash saw various tier 6 law treasures displayed around him.

“A tier 6 treasure? Wouldn’t this break the balance?”

One had to understand that the competition prevented anyone from carrying a tier 6 treasure, not out of fairness, but for their own safety.

A tier 6 treasure was like a beacon of light in the dark plane.

Once it appeared, those tier 6 dark beasts would be like flies attracted to the law it emitted.

Turning the place from dangerous to catastrophic, no one was stupid enough to challenge this rule.

Knowing this, Nash also held himself back.

Although he should have had the capability to fight a tier 6 dark beast, he didn’t dare to risk it.

What if he were unlucky and faced a lord-level or even intelligent-type tier 6 dark beast? Even with his trump card, he wasn’t sure if he could win.

Calming himself, he walked toward those shelter-type treasures.

This time, instead of being displayed in encapsulated glass, everything seemed just carelessly placed on standing platforms.

However, as Nash got close to one, a barrier promptly stopped him, sending information about the price he needed to pay to acquire it.

[Crystal Tower (Shelter Treasure): Cost 47 million points]

“Too expensive!”

Looking at the points he had, Nash felt the price was outrageous.

[Nash Navre:

Points: 52.7 million

Badge: Combat (copper), Knowledge (copper)]

He got that it was rare and more powerful. However, being at the same tier 5 realm, how could the price be so high?

This wasn’t even the number one showcase in the place. Looking at their grand displays, he estimated their prices might reach hundreds of millions of points or even billions.

Unable to do anything about it, Nash quickly browsed the other shelter treasures, searching for one he could afford.

Though there were no descriptions about their usage, he could roughly deduce their purpose from their names and runic structures.

Soon, after some searching, he found what seemed to be exactly what he needed.

[Aegis Core (Shelter Treasure): Cost 49 million]

The Aegis Core should be a treasure capable of deploying a defensive barrier, exactly what they needed to conquer the cluster resource point.

It would turn the battle from an offensive siege to a defensive one. While clearing away the lord-level dark beasts, they could rest and recuperate.

Previously, what they worried about was the battle of endurance while doing so at the fastest speed, so as not to attract more dark beasts.

However, if they could secure their base, they could even just deploy their war weapons and watch them clear the dark beast.

They could even completely disregard the dark beast and focus solely on mining.

Of course, Nash estimated that each second the defensive barrier was deployed, it would cost energy.

Even still, with such a shelter treasure around, the Nova Shelter—no, the Star Alliance, could go further in this cosmic competition.

Soon, after paying for the treasure, the Aegis Core, the size of a large car, was finally kept within his storage ring.

Looking at his remaining points, Nash thought of searching to see if there were any fragments of the severance knife around.

He only needed seven severance knives to unlock its first seal.

Soon, as he looked around carefully, he quickly found one, then two, then three, lighting up his excitement.

“Could I get a complete set of severance knives this time?”

Eagerly searching around, he found another two severance knives.

“That’s it?”

Short by another two, Nash felt a lump stuck in his throat.

Just two more and he could unlock the first seal!

Unfortunately, even after searching for another turn and not finding anything, Nash finally gave up.

With the time of the secret realm coming close, Nash could only shake his head in disappointment.

“Unlucky…”
