Chapter 896 Stone Jar and Bamboo Slips, I am Off to Subdue the Dragon
If the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe withheld information and tried to divert disaster elsewhere, Xu Yan's good impression of the Sea Spirit Tribe would evaporate. However, since the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe honestly clarified the pros and cons, Xu Yan was indifferent to the hot potato.
For the Sea Spirit Tribe, these two garments could bring crisis, but to Xu Yan, they were practically insignificant.
No matter who coveted them or how powerful they were, Xu Yan didn't care.
Since they suited his taste and could make good gifts, there was no reason not to accept them.
"To me, it's no trouble, so I'll take it."
Xu Yan accepted the jade box.
"A word of caution, Friend Xu, the one coveting this item may now be of the Divine Venerate Realm."
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe said solemnly.
"Divine Venerate Realm? No matter!"
Xu Yan chuckled, unconcerned.
"If Friend Xu has such confidence, then I am relieved."
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Yan continued to browse the treasury leisurely, seeking treasures that caught his eye.
After picking and choosing, and taking a few treasures, Xu Yan reckoned that he had found items for everyone he wanted to gift and there were no particularly alluring treasures left, so he prepared to leave.
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe interjected, "Friend Xu, why not take a look at those ancient relics? They are said to be extremely ancient."
"What's so special about these ancient relics?"
Xu Yan asked out of curiosity.
"I can't quite say!"
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe shook his head and led Xu Yan to a corner of the treasury, rhythmically tapping on the walls, and suddenly, an entrance appeared on the floor of the treasury corner.
"Friend Xu, follow me!"
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe entered the underground passage.
Xu Yan raised an eyebrow; this hidden treasure chamber was quite secret, likely elusive to the common strong.
Following the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe into the underground passage, they arrived in a modest treasure chamber spanning only a few zhang.
Upon entering the treasure chamber, one could immediately sense an ancient essence.
And even feel the sensation of time having settled.
There weren't many ancient objects in the treasure chamber.
Merely around a dozen, among which the most eye-catching was a shimmering, azure pearl.
Besides that, the other items seemed very old but possessed that feeling of time's sediment.
In the entire secret treasure chamber, the most attention-grabbing object was undoubtedly the azure pearl, yet Xu Yan's gaze did not linger on it and instead turned to another item.
It was a stone jar, but not an ordinary one; patterned with age, the pot's worn body seemed unremarkable beyond the feeling of history imbued within it.
However, Xu Yan saw that the jar emitted a faint charm, sealing whatever was inside to prevent it from decaying over time.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe was taken aback, having assumed that Xu Yan would first examine the azure pearl, since among his ancient objects, it looked the most extraordinary.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yan's attention first went to a stone jar.
"This stone jar is quite special, I have tried to open it to see what is inside, but could never manage to, and due to my strength, I also can't damage the jar..."
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe started to explain.
"Does this stone jar have a history?"
Xu Yan asked curiously.
"Legend has it, it was treasured by our tribe's Ancient Emperor. The specifics, unfortunately, are unknown, but there are a few sporadic mentions in our ancient texts that this jar was gifted to our Ancient Emperor by some powerful entity…"
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe recounted.
He then added, "Considering that our tribe once belonged to the True Spirit of the True Dragon Lineage, it's surmised that it might have something to do with True Dragons."
Xu Yan picked up the stone jar and said, "This item, I'll take it."

"As long as Friend Xu likes it, that's what matters!"
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe expressed joyfully.
His biggest concern was Xu Yan's disinterest, but as long as Xu Yan liked it and accepted the Sea Spirit Tribe's treasures, there'd be a connection and common history between them.
Should the Sea Spirit Tribe face a dire calamity one day, considering this connection, Xu Yan might give assistance.
Xu Yan stored the stone jar away. Although he couldn't see the full picture of what was inside, he had some guesses which would be perfect to give to his master.
Next, Xu Yan glanced at the azure pearl.
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe introduced it, "This object is known as the Azure Sea Pearl, rumored to also have been left by our tribe's Ancient Emperor. I do not know its specific use but it surely contains some profound secrets."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yan's heart stirred, Azure Sea Pearl?
That giant turtle was called the Azure Sea Turtle; could this pearl have originated from the same place as the Azure Sea Turtle?
Azure Sea?
Was there a place called Azure Sea within this Domain?
But, the Azure Sea Turtle came from beyond the heavens, not a strong entity of this domain.
"Could it be, the Azure Sea lies beyond this Domain?"
Xu Yan thought curiously.
"Great Elder, do you know of a place called Azure Sea within this Domain?"
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe shook his head, "I have never heard of it, the seas of this Domain have always been called the Azure Sea. The Divine Realm's Azure Sea Sphere and the Spiritual Realm's Azure Sea are all parts of the Domain's vast Azure Sea.
"The transformations of the Domain have divided it into its current states; the legends say that in ancient times, the Azure Sea was vast, beyond what the Azure Sea Sphere can compare to."
Xu Yan nodded, reached out, and the Azure Sea Pearl fell into his hand. Since it was related to the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe, he decided to take it and would give it to his master as well.
After pocketing the Azure Sea Pearl, Xu Yan reviewed the rest of the ancient relics.
The remaining ancient objects were rather ordinary; although some had their intriguing features, Xu Yan didn't find them particularly appealing.
