Treasure - 115

"Let's follow the map and collect the space stones." Anna said.

One of the papers she had picked up had been a treasure map that showed where the treasure was and what it contained.

As they walked towards the location of the treasure, Anna couldn't stop herself from thinking more and more.

'Why is there a treasure map from outer space that leads to a place on OUR planet? It's completely illogical. It's as if someone is handing them to us.' Anna couldn't shake the feeling that everything that had happened was the doing of someone else.

Anna continued to think to herself until the group of void traversing cultivators reached the mountain the treasure was under.

"Anna....Anna.....ANNA!" The dragon king screamed, putting his hand on her shoulder with the last call.

Anna flinched out of her stupor and realized that they had reached the place the treasure map marked.

"Sorry. Lets search around the mountain. If we don't find anything, we will dig below it." She said, stopping herself from thinking any further and helping the group search for the treasure.

Thanks to their divine sense, the search was finished in minutes. Although the mountain could only be described as average compared to the rest of the Zhou Worlds mountains, it was thousands, if not tens of thousands times bigger than the biggest mountain on earth.

That was the only reason the search took so long.

After they had confirmed that the treasure wasn't on the mountain, Anna signaled the titanosaur to dig below it.

Although he wasn't the strongest and likely not the fastest at digging, earth was his specialty. The titanosaur transformed back into his original form and dug down a hundred miles before they reached an open space.

The titanosaur transformed back into humanoid form and entered the area first, followed by Anna, the dragon king, the monkey king, and the rest of the void traversing cultivators.

What they had dug into was a fairly big cave with fully gray walls. Not a single thing other than stone could be seen. There was only one tunnel in front of them and a wall behind them, so the group traveled down the tunnel.

After walking for a mile, the group started to see a darkish blue light. Although the titanosaur and the monkey king were unable to determine what the light was from, Anna and the Dragon king had much experience with the Qi it was giving off.

Without a doubt, the light was coming from something with space Qi. The only explanation was that the treasure was ahead since the papers had said the treasure was space stones.

After another half mile and some twists and turns, the group entered a room full of crystals stuck in the walls. The crystals were space blue and not a single person would have doubt that they were space stones.

The non-ruler void traversing cultivators stayed right outside the room as the others entered. Anna was the first one to make contact as she walked up to one of the walls and pulled a space stone out.

She sighed in admiration at the pure space Qi inside them. As someone with a space affinity, only she could fully appreciate them. Anna was tempted to try and absorb one as if it was a spirit stone, but she felt her instincts blaring just as she was about to try.

She hastily dropped the stone and stepped back. From that point on, she didn't attempt to absorb space stones.

Although the other rulers were startled at her dropping the stone and backing up, Anna waved her hand and said she was fine but had done something stupid.

"Don't try to absorb the space stones. You will probably die." She said as a warning.

After her warning, the rulers carefully examined the entire cave in order to make sure there were no traps or dangers before they called in the rest of the void traversing cultivators and carefully harvested the space stones.

Due to the fact that there were 2400 stones and each one was removed carefully, the process took 5 hours. With the pile carefully laid out on the ground, Anna went up to each of the stones and held them before transporting them into her ring.

By the time she managed to collect all of them, the spatial ring was filled to the brim. With all the space stones safely put away, the group walked back up to the surface and flew to the celestial lands.

Although the space stones had been collected, the forging method had not been tested. Anna sent away the non-ruler void traversing cultivators from the other lands at the border and entered the celestial lands.

Getting to central city didn't take too long with their flying speeds and the rulers landed at the doors of annas tower. They had come to her tower in order to use the forging space on the middle floor.

As for who was going to forge the ring, there was no doubt it would be anna. Besides her identity as the ruler of the celestial lands and one of the two strongest people in the world, Anna was also known as the greatest blacksmith in the world. If she could not successfully forge a ring, then nobody would be able to.

The rulers arrived at the middle floor unimpeded and went into the forge room. The room was extremely large and contained a single anvil, hammer, fire pit, and bucket of water.

The bucket of water was special water made from annas own power and Anna would borrow the flames of the dragon king for forging.

Although she could make her own flames, since not having an affinity didn't mean one couldn't use an element, the dragon king's flames were special and much more powerful.

"Light it up." Anna said as she picked up her hammer. Both the hammer and the anvil were made from the strongest materials Anna could find. They had reached grade 6, or void traversing.
