2423 Bone-Burying Clam A look of excitement crossed Lin Yuan’s face. Dazzling Silver left immediately after leading Lin Yuan to the water world’s treasure vault. The mermaid species’ bloodline sensitivity was very strong. As an emperor, Lin Yuan had the authority to enter the treasure vault. It would also seem inappropriate if Dazzling Silver remained in the treasure vault. Dazzling Silver would only wait for him by the entrance if Lin Yuan asked her to stay. The mermaids’ treasure vault was much fuller than Grace Sacred Hall’s treasure vault had been. This was largely due to Mermaid Forbidden Sea’s increasing territory. Furthermore, the mermaid emperors did not require many resources to break through their power. Meanwhile, Grace Sacred Hall’s two rulers had been steadily using up Grace Sacred Hall’s best resources. It was now time again for the Source Sand to work. The Source Sand produced a large amount of Close Guard Sand and began sorting through the treasure vault. Although there were many items in the mermaids’ treasure vault, they were better organized than Grace Sacred Hall’s treasure vault. This significantly reduced the work that the Source Sand had to do and sped up its progress. Lin Yuan swam to the coral shelf at the center of the treasure vault. There were five shells lined neatly on the coral shelf. These five shells had to contain Mermaid Forbidden Sea’s most important resources. He opened the first shell and saw three books within. These three books were the three Vast Sea Secret Treasures. Lin Yuan stored the three Vast Sea Secret Treasures inside the fountain of faith in his divine kingdom, just like he had done with the Green Field Secret Treasures. The six Vast Sea Secret Treasures also combined into one tome that started to rapidly absorb the water in the fountain of faith. Lin Yuan moved on to open the second shell and saw that it contained an Endless Gem. Lin Yuan handed this Endless Gem to Morbius, and Morbius softly replied, “Partner, once I wake up from my next sleep, you will be able to take full control of the water world!” Lin Yuan nodded. Lin Yuan had spent a long time conquering the marsh world, while it had only taken him less than two months to conquer the water world. If he managed to control the five dimensional worlds in six months, he would possess enough power to do anything he wanted in the main world. The Freedom Federation no longer posed any level of threat. Lin Yuan was already used to Morbius’ bouts of hibernation. These two crystal balls resembled amber, and they were the source of the skunk’s aura. When he saw the markings on these two balls, Lin Yuan was suddenly reminded of the skunk’s strange eyes. The two balls that the mermaids had been storing within the shells had to be the skunk’s eyes. But after such a long time had passed, the eyes had petrified. Lin Yuan could not sense electrical power from within these two eyeballs. This made sense. If they contained powerful electrical power, Brilliant Gold would have used them when she was trying to break through her bloodline instead of leaving them here for him to find now. Lin Yuan summoned Green Vine again and instructed it to swallow the two eyeballs. It had been proven that these two eyeballs had belonged to the skunk lifeform. Although these two eyeballs could not be compared to the half-corpse in terms of size, they contained far more energy than the half-corpse. When Green Vine used Entire Body Medium again, the skunk’s form would be maintained for longer than it previously had. When it came to the fourth shell, he realized that it was very heavy. Dazzling Silver had mentioned that the emperor-class mermaids had used almost all of the top-grade strange water to evolve their bloodlines. There was no way that this shell contained top-grade strange water. But what could be so heavy if not top-grade strange water? Filled with curiosity, Lin Yuan opened this shell and saw that it was full of the bones of emperor-class mermaids. The emperor-class mermaids passed on their legacies through their emperor scales, and the mermaids did not like the idea of allowing their corpses to float around in the water after death. They preferred for their corpses to be collected by their loved ones and kept at home so that they could continue to be with their loved ones. Lin Yuan started to count. Due to an extended period of time having passed, many of the emperor-class mermaids’ bones had decayed. However, there had been tens of mermaid emperors in the mermaids’ entire history. Lin Yuan had been trying to come up with a way to obtain spiritual ingredients that would complement the Deep Chasm Sea Eye when he turned it into a precious instrument. Now, he had found what he was looking for. The Deep Chasm Sea Eye was the eye of a mermaid thearch. It would be a perfect match to complement it with the corpses of tens of mermaid emperors! There was no way that Lin Yuan could allow Di Wanmi to forge this precious instrument. Although his master had become a Class 6 Creation Master, he had found out through testing that Begin Lady was more capable of forging precious instruments. Lin Yuan intended to hand the Deep Chasm Sea Eye and all the mermaid corpses to Begin Lady so that it could turn them into a precious instrument. Now, there was only one shell left on the shelf. Going off convention, the last item in the row should be what the mermaids saw as the most important. Lin Yuan opened the last shell, but all he saw inside was a ring. There was an azure crystal set into the center of the ring that contained three emperor scales. If there was a thearch-class mermaid in the water world, the seal on the Deep Chasm Sea Eye would have been broken long ago, and the New Thearch’s Scale would have been retrieved. Emperor scales were very effective at aiding the emperor-class bloodline. If Brilliant Gold and the others could break the azure stone and remove the three emperor scales within, they would have already done so to evolve their bloodlines. This ring was not a precious instrument, and Lin Yuan could not find anything impressive about it after studying it for some time. It looked like an ordinary luxury accessory. But a regular and useless accessory would not have been used to store three emperor scales. Now that Morbius was asleep, Lin Yuan could not use True Data to check on this ring.
