There were far too many good things.
Yu Xian and the others couldn't even identify the material of most of the treasures.
It wasn't that they didn't know what kind of matter it was.
They were made of metal.
They could at least tell that much.
Yet as for exactly what metal they were or what properties they possessed, they were completely in the dark.
Right now, no one bothered to examine them closely. The priority was stashing them away first; there would be plenty of time to study them slowly later.
At this moment, nothing mattered more than securing the loot.
Yu Xian continuously swept items into his storage rings. Suddenly, he spotted an extraordinary-looking sword ahead.
It was sheathed. Stepping forward, he gripped the scabbard with his left hand and the hilt with his right, pulling hard, but it didn't budge in the slightest.
Without hesitation, he tossed the sword, scabbard and all, into his storage ring. Moving forward, he bent down and picked up a spear.
These items could only be picked up by hand. Neither telekinesis nor materialized psychic power could budge them at all; there was simply no way to reel them in with unseen forces.
Only by gripping them with one's own hands could they be claimed.
Still, surely no one present found it troublesome. After all, it was certain that every single item here would be a priceless treasure in the outside world.
Safe to say, Yu Xian and his group struck it rich in one fell swoop.
However poor they had been before, they were just as wealthy now.
...
...
A day later.
Yu Xian and the others were still riding a high of excitement, but Yu Xian's storage rings were already completely full.
He carried three storage rings on him—the rest had either been given away or sold. Looking at the completely crammed rings now, he finally realized his storage capacity was still far too small.
"Sure enough, there's no such thing as having enough storage rings—only not enough, and nowhere near enough."
Yu Xian gazed at the treasures covering the hills and valleys, and a wave of grief suddenly washed over him. Being unable to take any more was sheer agony.
"Yu Xian, do you have any more storage rings on you?" Nora walked over and asked.
Yu Xian wanted to cry. Clearly, Nora's storage rings were full as well.
The two stared at each other in dismay, both silently resolving that in the future, no matter how many storage rings they acquired, they would never get rid of a single one. Even if they had to string them into a necklace around their necks, they would keep every last ring.
Fortunately, Niman's storage space was immense. Once Little Nora and Huangquan had also stuffed their storage rings to bursting, everyone simply sat down at the island's highest point and watched Niman collect treasures.
Niman's storage space wasn't a storage ring, but an immense dimension she had carved out within her body back when she was a Cosmos Rank powerhouse. It was extraordinarily vast; all the remaining treasures here should easily fit inside.
Though they were currently one entity—sharing honor and disgrace, prospering and suffering together—their property was still kept separate. Things could be shared, but only with the owner's consent. In other words, the treasures Niman collected would still belong to her. Evidently, after this haul, Niman was going to become the richest among them.
"You guys are satisfied already?" Zhang Buyao flew over and landed beside Yu Xian. Seeing everyone sipping tea and nibbling on pastries, she asked curiously.
Even she coveted good things like these. How had Yu Xian and his crew reached their fill so quickly?
"Storage rings are full," Yu Xian said with a gloomy expression, explaining helplessly to Zhang Buyao.
Zhang Buyao looked shocked. "Storage rings can get full?"
"How big is your storage ring?" Yu Xian couldn't help asking.
Zhang Buyao showed off a ring and a bracelet. "I only have two pieces of storage gear in total. The ring's storage space is infinite, and the bracelet's space is infinite too."
"..."
Yu Xian and the others felt a wave of bitter envy. Infinite... what kind of ridiculous concept was that?
They had been thinking that a storage ring the size of the Milky Way would already be impossible to fill or exhaust, yet hers was literally infinite.
"Sister Yaoyao, how do you get infinite storage gear?" Little Nora asked with wide-eyed curiosity.
It wanted an infinite storage device too, so it could keep conjuring food without ever worrying about running out of room to store it.
"I don't know. My dad gave me this ring, and my mom gave me this bracelet," Zhang Buyao replied. Then inspiration struck, and she beamed. "Next time I go home, I'll ask my mom for another one and give it to you, Duckie!"
As she spoke, she couldn't resist pulling Little Nora into a hug, nuzzling against it with pure bliss. She adored Little Nora far too much.
"Then when are you going home?" Little Nora asked expectantly, leaning comfortably against Zhang Buyao's soft body.
Zhang Buyao rubbed her cheek against Little Nora's and answered, "I don't know! I'll head back once I've had my fill of fun. Don't worry, it'll be soon."
"Speaking of which, with so many treasures here, could there be storage gear among them?" Nora couldn't help chiming in, looking at the surrounding islands.
Yu Xian's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands. "That's actually very possible! Let's search around."
"Then I'll help too! Little Nora, let's go—we'll hunt for storage gear together," Zhang Buyao said with a bright smile.
Yu Xian asked curiously, "Yaoyao, aren't you going to grab more treasures?"
After all, Zhang Buyao's storage ring was infinite, which meant no matter how many treasures there were, she could hold them all.
"One island's worth is enough. Any more would be too exhausting to sort through," Zhang Buyao answered.
Yu Xian had no rebuttal. After all, she was the daughter of an absolute titan—what kind of magnificent treasures hadn't she seen? Whatever Feng Laixian possessed, Zhang Buyao's parents likely had as well. The fact that this could bring her some amusement was already enough to prove just how rich Feng Laixian's collection truly was.
Next, everyone split up and headed to different islands to search for storage gear. They didn't ask for infinite space—so long as it could hold a galaxy, they would be satisfied.
Yu Xian landed on an island filled entirely with bronze artifacts.
Even the island's ground was the color of bronze. He picked up a bronze cup and examined it—not storage gear. Next, he lifted a cauldron.
The moment he touched the cauldron, its purpose became clear to him: sacrifice.
As long as the cauldron was filled with the blood of a sacrifice, the shamanic god patterns across its surface would glow and absorb all the blood, granting the celebrant one small wish.
The higher the quality of the sacrifice, the greater the degree of fulfillment for the wish.
Conversely, if an inferior sacrifice was used, the wish might be granted in a way the celebrant would never anticipate.
For instance, if one wished for immortality: using a high-quality sacrifice, the cauldron might grant an immortal body out of thin air. But using a low-quality sacrifice, the cauldron might turn the wisher into a sentient boulder—immortal, yes, but in time, the wisher would surely beg for death yet be unable to die.
Yu Xian didn't care much for such erratic items. After a moment's thought, however, he took a metal chair out of his storage ring and placed the cauldron inside. After all, it was an all-purpose wishing machine; he might not use it himself, but he absolutely couldn't let anyone else get their hands on it.
He had a feeling that Zhi'er was probably still alive somewhere within Feng Laixian's storage ring, so he definitely couldn't aid the enemy.
