Chapter 44 – The Inner Factions of the Adventist Church, Arrival at the Cult's Treasure Trove
Chapter 44 – Descending Sect's Internal Faction, Arriving at the Sect's Treasure Trove

The Shadow Protector obviously looked favourably on. Su Xing explained patiently:

‘Our Advent Cult has been around for nearly a thousand years, and after a thousand years of evolution, the Cult is also divided into three factions: the Natural Faction, the Fanatic Faction, and the Coexistence Faction!’

After a pause, the Shadow Protector continued:

‘Those in the fanatic faction are a bunch of lunatics. They’re also one of the largest and most powerful factions in the Adventist Church. They believe in the Great Celestial Lord and hope to be able to sacrifice themselves to allow the main race to descend to the Blue Star and feed on all the humans on the Blue Star, including themselves!’

Su Xing frowned slightly after hearing this. It was clear that this fanatic faction was the radicals in the Advent Cult now. They were willing to sacrifice themselves to bring in those alien demonic beasts. It was hard to understand.

The Coexistence Faction is hoping that the Lord Race will be merciful to my human race. They think that after the Lord Race invades the real world, they'll be able to continue living. I think those people from the Coexistence Faction are wrong. Who are we, the mole crickets, to coexist with the great master race? We're not qualified!

Su Xing's face showed he was surprised by the Shadow Protector's words.

This Coexistence Faction in the Advent Sect seemed to have some humanity left in them. They believed that the alien demonic beasts were far more powerful than the human race, and thus wanted to surrender in order to survive the human race.

But Su Xing knew in his heart that this was simply impossible. When the alien race descends to the real world, it will swallow the real world, and there is no such thing as coexistence. In Su Xing's opinion, the war between the alien race and the human race is clearly a war of extermination, and those people in the coexistence faction actually put their hopes on the mercy of the alien race, which is really ridiculous.

So Su Xing asked again: ‘Protector Shadow, then what is the goal of our natural faction?’

Shadow Protector's face was filled with longing as he said: ‘Our Nature Faction is all about staying close to the most original and natural side of the world. In this materialistic world, we firmly believe that nature is the closest to the truth!’

Su Xing nodded in agreement, thinking that if it was just a matter of wanting to love and care for nature, then this Nature Faction still looked quite normal.

Who would have thought that what the Shadow Protector said next would leave Su Xing completely speechless?

Only to see the Shadow Protector say with some fervour:

‘And humans, nature is the lowest ranked race! They don't have half a relationship with nature!’ ‘The great master race is the closest to truth and nature in this world!’

‘We have to look up to nature and become part of the Lord Race, even if it's just a lowly Lord Race. It's enough for us to have the qualifications to get close to nature!’

The Shadow Protector lifted his black top slightly, revealing the skin of his abdomen.

Su Xing froze, his eyes wide with shock. He saw a large black mass writhing and moving in the Shadow Protector's abdomen. It looked like a bunch of sucker-like mucus and organs.

Is this... is this still a human organ? Su Xing felt a wave of nausea. The Shadow Protector's dungeon seemed to have no idea what a human looked like.

However, the Shadow Protector was still proud and said, ‘This is the great Lord Clan's reward for me. Our Nature Faction hopes that through the transformation, we can slowly metamorphose from the human race to the Lord Clan and become a part of the Lord Clan! And I have already transformed close to one-fifth of my entire body, and I have even obtained the organs of Lord Shadow Beast, which has allowed me to have such a powerful strength!’

Su Xing was speechless when he saw the Shadow Protector's fervour. So the so-called natural faction is to plant the organs of foreign races on human bodies? Eventually turning into a monster that is neither human nor beast! In this case, it seems that the Natural Faction, Fanatic Faction, or Coexistence Faction are not something that any mentally normal person could come up with!

Su Xing took a half-step back from the Shadow Guardian, who was pretty gross.
But the Shadow Protector didn't seem to mind and kept talking to himself:
‘Medicine Elder! Our Nature Faction is one of the top two factions, and our leader even has the body of half of the main race! ‘As long as you’re willing to join our Nature Faction, I’ll definitely report to the organisation and find you a perfect main race body!’ Su Xing’s smile froze on his face after hearing this. Who would be willing to be transformed into this kind of inhuman and beastly monster? So Su Xing forced a smile and said, ‘Ahem, Protector Shadow, this matter will be discussed again!’ I'm still the new guy in the company, so I'm not ready for this kind of reward.

It seemed like Protector Shadow didn't mind what Su Xing said, so he nodded and didn't say anything more.

The boulder was more than ten feet tall and looked like any other stone. However, Protector Shadow pulled out a token and placed it into a groove on the boulder, before speaking to it again:

‘Dragon Protector! We've come to take a look at the treasury within the sect!’

A transparent light screen appeared on the boulder, and the Shadow Protector waved towards Su Xing, then took the lead and walked in.

Su Xing followed closely behind, but his heart was already racing.

‘This is definitely a formation from the Immortal Cultivation Realm. It’s similar to the sect protection formations in the Immortal Cultivation Sect. From the outside, it doesn’t look any different from ordinary mountains and rocks, but the inside is cavernous!’

Su Xing walked into this grand formation, his heart pounding.

Once inside the formation, there was another unique cave.

An old man with a pale face was dozing at the entrance to the treasure vault, not even rolling his eyelids.

The Shadow Protector seemed to be very respectful of him, took out two jars of fine wine and placed them beside the old man, and then started the mechanism to open the treasury.

Su Xing followed closely behind, just walked into the treasury, this mountain of treasures left Su Xing speechless.

This treasure vault is dozens of feet high and the internal space is as spacious as a square. It's not flooded with sunlight, but it's brightly lit because the rows of night pearls inlaid in the mountain above let in a lot of light.

What's even more impressive is the countless gold and silver treasures that are piled up like rubbish on the ground in the treasure vault. The value of these treasures is incalculable.

Su Xing was pretty sure that if these treasure vaults were taken to the real world, he'd be able to buy a country for the price of a few of them!

Hundreds of billions, trillions?

No, I'm afraid that the unit of measurement of billions can no longer describe the treasures in front of him.

But on the contrary, such a large number of treasures were the least valuable things in the treasure trove, scattered randomly on the ground and discarded.

Elder Shadow led Su Xing to step on the ground paved with gold and pearls and walk another dozen metres or so inside the treasure vault before he began to introduce himself.

‘Medicine Elder, I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that our Descendant Sect’s internal treasure trove is as good as, if not better than, the national treasury of the Grand Xia.’ The treasure trove is divided into several areas, including props, equipment, books, heavenly materials and treasures. You have half an hour to pick treasures at will, but the treasures within the treasury cannot be taken out at will. You have to pay a certain amount of points to take them out.
Su Xing was sweating when he heard this.

There's tons of gold and jewellery under your feet. Is that the most worthless thing you could think of?

But after seeing the real treasures within the treasure trove, Su Xing decided to keep quiet.
