After handling these matters, the Sea Serpent King began selecting water-element seventh-grade Spirit Herbs from the tributes, as previously agreed upon. Naturally, Leo did not object.
However, despite the thirty or so seventh-grade Spirit Herbs offered by the various dynasties, only five were of the water element.
The two soon arrived in front of a massive palace.
This palace was the personal treasury of the Galactic Dynasty’s emperor.
“Those tributed Spirit Herbs were insufficient. I hope the contents of this treasury won’t disappoint me,” the Sea Serpent King said, his eyes fixed intently on the treasury doors.
At that moment, the wound on the Sea Serpent King’s chest, pierced by the Undying Serpent, was still being corroded by the power of dark laws.
To eradicate this dark power, a few more water-element seventh-grade Spirit Herbs were needed.
Leo glanced at the wound on the Sea Serpent King’s chest and nodded slightly.
In truth, the Sea Serpent King had contributed significantly to this battle. Without him, Leo and Golden Spear might not have been able to contend with the unnamed Spirit God realm expert of the Galactic Dynasty.
Gazing at the palace doors before him, Leo retrieved a purple-gold dragon-shaped jade pendant and threw it onto the doors.
The purple-gold dragon-shaped jade pendant was acquired by Leo from the Galactic Dynasty emperor’s Storage Sack after defeating him.
As the pendant landed on the doors, they swung open with a thunderous sound.
Leo and the Sea Serpent King stepped inside.
The interior was spacious, with neatly arranged stone platforms in sight.
On the large stone platform at the front were various rare fourth-grade Spirit Herbs, ores, spiritual weapons, and cultivation technique scrolls.
Currently, as the Seven Stars Sect was in a phase of rapid development and needed various resources, Leo did not hesitate to collect everything on the stone platform into his Storage Sack.
The Sea Serpent King had no objections to Leo’s ransacking; these items were useless to him.
Moving further in, they encountered a row of seventh-grade Spirit Herbs.
The seventh-grade Spirit Herbs were placed in jade boxes. This time, it was the Sea Serpent King’s turn to act first, selecting those useful to him.
As they approached the end of the treasury, Leo’s eyes lit up.
In the center at the rear of the treasury stood a massive jet-black flying boat.
The flying boat was over ten feet tall and as large as a cruise ship on Earth. Its surface was covered with mysterious black runes, appearing extremely sturdy.
With a sweep of his divine sense, Leo realized that this massive flying boat was a flying Spirit Treasure, causing excitement to flicker in his eyes.
Beside Leo, the Sea Serpent King’s eyes also gleamed brightly.
Leo smiled and said, “It seems we’ve got some good luck.”
Flying Spirit Treasures were rare and typically only possessed by super sects.
This flying boat had reached the level of a mid-grade Spirit Treasure based on divine sense perception.
After dealing with the Galactic Dynasty’s affairs, Leo planned to head to Starfall Realm.
The Awakened Continent was vast in each domain. Even for a Spirit God realm expert, crossing a domain took considerable time. With this flying Spirit Treasure, much time could be saved. Moreover, traveling on it wouldn’t hinder cultivation.
Of course, Leo could also have the Sea Serpent King transform into his true form and ride him to Starfall Realm. However, given the Sea Serpent King’s temperament, that might be challenging.
Thus, facing such a flying boat made Leo genuinely excited.
Immediately, Leo released his spiritual power to envelop the entire black flying boat and stored it in his Storage Sack.
Behind the black flying boat were six arched white jade platforms.
Above each platform floated six light clusters emitting dazzling radiance.
From left to right, the first light cluster contained a deep blue conch. The conch had spiral patterns like jade, clear and translucent.
“A conch belonging to Sea Demonkin?” Leo raised an eyebrow upon seeing what lay within the light cluster.
The Sea Serpent King calmly explained, “That is an item of the Mermaid Clan. Before their lifespan ends, Mermaid Clan kings seal all their cultivation into a Deep Sea Conch.”
“The more cultivation sealed within, the stronger the Deep Sea Conch becomes. Typically, such a conch serves as a clan treasure for the Mermaid Clan. A mermaid holding it wields significant influence within their clan.”
Leo nodded in understanding. The Sea Serpent King ruled over Star Moon Lake, where one of his four strongest subordinate races included the Mermaid Clan.
“The Deep Sea Conch in the Galactic Dynasty emperor’s palace must be spoils from their battles with Moonset Sea’s Sea Demonkin,” added the Sea Serpent King.
Their attention then turned to the second light cluster.
The second light cluster displayed black and white colors and contained a spirit elixir with one side black and one side white.
It was Water Spirit Elixir!
Both Leo and the Sea Serpent King’s eyes flickered with interest.
The Water Spirit Elixir was an intermediate seventh-grade Spirit Herb and extremely rare. It was especially valuable to Black and White Orca Clan as it could aid their advancement.
Inside the third light cluster was a fiery red alchemical furnace adorned with carvings of galloping fire beasts.
Seeing this furnace reminded Leo of Aimee.
Aimee had great talent in alchemy, and this furnace would be perfect for her.
Leo already possessed both Mystical Sky Eight Diagrams Patterned Alchemical Furnace and Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s Spirit Flame Alchemy Furnace and didn’t need another furnace.
Continuing to move his gaze forward, Leo’s attention was caught by the fourth light cluster.
The fourth light cluster emitted an extremely faint silver glow. Without careful observation, one might think it empty.
Within it lay a dagger about half a foot long. Both its blade and hilt were extremely thin.
The hilt appeared faintly silver and visible to the naked eye, while the blade was so thin it seemed like a shadow; even a glance could convey its sharpness.
With a sweep of his divine sense, Leo recognized it as a spatial-type dagger Spirit Treasure.
Leo walked over and grasped it in his hand.
The dagger felt weightless in his grip, and he sensed spatial law energy emanating from it.
On its hilt were four delicate characters: Shadowblade of Space.
Judging by its aura alone, Shadowblade of Space had clearly reached peak lower-grade Spirit Treasure level. As a spatial-type Spirit Treasure, it could be used for unexpected attacks effectively.
Thus, Leo considered Shadowblade of Space quite a treasure indeed.
He then turned his attention to the fifth light cluster.
Within it lay a large saber crackling with lightning energy; this saber too had reached Spirit Treasure level.
The sixth and seventh light clusters contained two white jade pill bottles each.
The Sea Serpent King’s azure eyes sparkled as he stepped forward and flicked his finger; one bottle’s stopper opened from within sixth light cluster opened automatically under Pill Energy influence two golden pills floated out.
Each golden pill bore infant-like patterns.
“Sacred Golden Elixir!” exclaimed Sea Serpent King, recognizing them instantly.
Had he obtained Sacred Golden Elixir before breaking through Demon Saint Realm, he would have been ecstatic.
However, now Sacred Golden Elixir held less allure for him.
