Chapter 748 - Tier 2 Account Unlocked
Xia Fei’s first stop was not the Ancient Battlefield but Rock Bank, instead.
The Atlanteans’ account was set up in tiers; Xia Fei could qualify to access the second tier now that he was a Law Emperor. Since this was the case, he could take a look and see just what was stored within the Atlanteans’ Tier 2 vault.
Actually, what Xia Fei was most concerned with was the Beast Spirit Codex. Xia Fei had only learned the first six stages. According to the introduction to the codex, someone who really managed to master all nine stages would be capable of controlling every exotic beast under the stars.
The power of the Beast Spirit Codex was immeasurable, and even the Holy Beast Shatterstar had been subdued by Xia Fei through it, which was why the former was so loyal to the latter. Naturally, factors like how Xia Fei and Furball shared similar temperament and how he had been rearing the creature since young had to be taken into account as well.
Regrettably, the first tier vault did not have the amazing Beast Spirit Codex that he wanted so much; now that he could access the second tier, Xia Fei was hoping that he would be able to obtain the last three stages of the codex. After all, the Ancient Battle of Gods and Demons was extremely dangerous. He had been busy recovering his cultivation this entire period and had been unable to promote.. If he could obtain some mystical weapon or even the complete Beast Spirit Codex from the vault, it would be a great help for him for the foreseeable future.
Flashing his dark gold card, Xia Fei was very respectfully invited to the VIP lounge by the staff of Rock Bank. Good tea was served and there was even an attendant assigned to take care of his every need. ‘Money is king.’ This was a saying that was applicable no matter where he went. It was the same even in the Law Realm.
“I’d like to access the Tier 2 account,” Xia Fei spoke straightforwardly.
“Esteemed client, your account is tiered, and it requires you to have a Law Emperor cultivation to access the Tier 2 account. I’m wondering...” The staff ventured to ask him this very courteously.
Xia Fei nodded. “Yes, I am now a Law Emperor of the Skywing Clan.”
After he said these words plainly, the attendant for VIPs got the fright of his life. He was the same attendant who had taken care of Xia Fei the last time he visited the bank, and he clearly remembered him being a level 7 Law Sovereign. However, in the span of two short weeks, Xia Fei had actually ascended to a Law Emperor! This was a really stunning rate of promotion!

What made him even more surprised was to hear the young man say the words ‘Skywing Clan’. Forget White Horse Constellation, even the furthest reaches of the Demon Territory had heard of that horrifying event of a clan being forcibly expelled from the Law Realm by an equally prestigious clan through superior martial prowess. It was hard for anyone who heard this not to gasp in shock. Both were major clans; how could the gap between their strength be so big?
“*Gulp*!”
Cold sweat began to form on this attendant’s forehead, and he hurriedly excused himself on the pretext of retrieving the testing equipment.
The demon lord laughed. “Looks like the Skywing name has been utterly ruined this time around. Anyone will shudder upon hearing it, believing that anyone from your clan is a monster that won’t blink an eye while taking a life.”
Xia Fei was unfazed. “I don’t really think that that’s a bad thing. At the very least, it’ll spare me plenty of trouble. I don’t care about the business of others, nor do I want to care.”
The test was very simple. A square device was brought over; Xia Fei simply placed his palm in the middle of the receptacle and the lights turned on correspondingly. Before long, the last green light indicator lit up, signaling completion of the test.
“Sir, you indeed have the cultivation of a Law Emperor, and your credit account has gone up by a tier accordingly. Do you need me to help you check?” asked the staff very respectfully.
Xia Fei nodded. “That’s good. Also, I recall that there’s a respective treasury aside from the cash account. Get it ready; I intend to take a look at it at once.”
Having the Skywing token with him made things very convenient. In less than a minute, an attendant came with a list; the balance of the Atlanteans’ Tier 2 cash account was described on it in detail.
Xia Fei took the list and looked. The Tier 2 account was different from the Tier 1, which only contained grade 4 Origin Crystals. On top of the grade 4 Origin Crystals, the Tier 2 account had eleven thousand precious grade 4 Origin Crystals!

In the Law Realm, a grade 5 Origin Crystal was something only the wealthiest clan would use as currency. In most cases, no one would care to use grade 5 Origin Crystal to pay for transactions.
The energy from a grade 5 Origin Crystal was a lot purer, containing a hundred times the energy compared to a grade 4 Origin Crystal! Using it for cultivation was the right way of expending; in fact, Xia Fei had relied on fourteen thousand grade 5 Origin Crystals to rapidly cultivate to the max his speed ability, which was evidence of just how effective they were.
Of course, a young scion like Zanian Feng would not care about this. After all, the Feng family was in charge of the largest martial hall in the Law Realm, Dragon Ascension. In the brothel before, Zanian Feng handed over dozens of grade 5 Origin Crystals merely as a tip along with his payment; as such, those ladies were practically over the moon when they received the crystals. If not for his face, Xia Fei would have really tried exchanging those valuable green crystals for his own grade 4 Origin Crystals!
There was no sense in comparing, however. Xia Fei did not have even a single piece of grade 5 Origin Crystal, yet Zanian was willing to treat those precious rocks as a tip. Rumor had it that the Feng family’s grade 5 Origin Crystals were all given to them by the God Race as they were working for them. This was why the family had no lack of high-grade crystals. Perhaps the Feng family could even take out a grade 6 Origin Crystal!
Conversely, this Atlantean account contained three million level 4 Origin Crystals.
A Grade 5 Origin Crystal needed a high level Energy Master for conversion, so it was not an issue of money; though the over ten thousand grade 5 Origin Crystals did not seem particularly eye-catching, Xia Fei could exchange for five to six million grade 4 Origin Crystals if he were to sell these on the black market! This was most definitely a sizable sum to him!
Xia Fei withdrew three thousand grade 5 Origin Crystals and stored them in his spatial ring for his and Furball’s future use. Furthermore, he did a bit of transfers to the account, leaving just ten thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals on himself and saving the rest. With the better grade 5 Origin Crystals to use for cultivation, the grade 4 Origin Crystals were now no more than cash. As such, it was more convenient for him to use his card when paying his bills, meaning that there was no need for him to lug around a large pile of Origin Crystals.
“Sir, your account’s current balance is eight thousand grade 5 Origin Crystals and 6,732,100 grade 4 Origin Crystals. If you confirm that there’s no error in this, please sign your name on this,” said the attendant as he handed him a form.
Xia Fei secretly cursed, complaining about how Xia Laoshi had grifted astronomical crystals from him. If not for that, he would have at least eight million grade 4 Origin Crystals in his account. What he had forgotten was that he had also emptied Xia Laoshi’s reserve. In reality, Xia Fei had profited greatly from his foray to Lingfeng Pavillion!
With a scribble of the pen, Xia Fei wrote his name.
Skywing, Xia Fei!
...
The spatial door sent Xia Fei to an underground treasury. Opening the vault door, Xia Fei stepped in.
The Atlanteans’ Tier 2 clan treasury was bigger, covering about four hundred square meters, filled with rows upon rows of metal support frames. On it were intricately crafted storage boxes, though these boxes only took up at most a third of the space, leaving the rest empty.
Giving it some thought, Xia Fei decided to merge the contents of the Tier 1 and Tier 2 treasury so that it would be more convenient for him to check the contents the next time he was down here, meaning that he need not to run between the two places.
Merging the two together was nothing difficult for Xia Fei since he had a spatial ring that had large storage space. He moved the items from one vault into his ring and then placed them inside the new vault. Given how fast he moved, this entire task took less than several minutes.
Smiling, Xia Fei looked at the merged treasury with satisfaction. He flexed his arm as he mumbled to himself, “I wonder if this Tier 2 treasury has what I need...”
*Whoosh*
Superspeed!
Xia Fei opened all the boxes and began organizing the things in them, choosing the items of some use and putting them to the side while leaving the ones of no use to him inside the boxes. Also, Xia Fei added the items he had no use for in these boxes. Though a spatial ring with a storage space of ten thousand cubic meters was not by any means small, Xia Fei still needed plenty of space to store some necessary medicinal ingredients and tools. There was even that spaceship from the Demon Race inside! That was why it became very important for him to conserve space as much as possible.
Five minutes. It was how long Xia Fei had taken to organize and arrange everything! This was the benefit of having superspeed!
What disappointed Xia Fei was that the complete copy of the Beast Spirit Codex, which he wanted so much, could not be found in this vault.
‘The Beast Spirit Codex is very precious and unique; perhaps it’s stored in the Tier 3 vault...’ Xia Fei thought.
A trunk was placed on top of the table, and in it were the many strange things Xia Fei had come across while he was sorting everything. The Atlanteans were truly a clan that was very sentimental, for plenty of weapons and armor that no longer had any use were still carefully stored in the vault. Each item had a clear description of what the past owners had achieved using it, including the successful military exploits of the wielders.
Xia Fei was not an Atlantean, so he was not too concerned with their history. Hence, he did not view these things as useful.
“*Sigh...*”
Xia Fei shook his head, feeling somewhat disappointed. Perhaps it was because he went through his own weapons and equipment too fast, but to him, these treasures of the Atlantean were no more than chicken ribs. Not a single one of the armor surpassed Monohorn Ogre, while none of the weapons was comparable to the bloodthirsty dagger Blood Crystal.
“Not useful! Why don’t I sell all this stuff? They should fetch me a bit of crystals,” Xia Fei frowned as he mulled over what he could do with these items.
Oro chuckled. “One shouldn’t be too greedy; you’ve already taken more than ten thousand grade 5 Origin Crystals from this clan’s treasury, yet you’re still dissatisfied. Besides, this has nothing to do with the Atlantis Clan. It’s not that their things are bad; it’s that you have stuff way better! Just take that darkness metal weapon, Ode of Hundred Spirits, as an example; most could only wish to get hold of such a weapon, yet you’ve barely used it despite owning one.”
Xia Fei pouted. “The Ode of Hundred Spirits can’t compare with the Blood Crystal in terms of usefulness. You can’t blame me for that.”
Oro shook his head. “It’ll be hard for you to find weapons of higher grade than these. After all, we’re not in the two peak races, and honestly, even Blood Crystal will be quite a decent weapon when mixed with the God Race’s arsenal. Getting your hands on a top-grade divine weapon will have to depend on luck, and it’s not something you can just find anywhere.”
Xia Fei did not respond. He packed up all the decent armor and weapons around, ready to give them to those around him, and left the vault.
“Will the Tier 3 treasury require me to reach Law Overlord cultivation before I can assess it?” Xia Fei asked before he left the bank.
The Rock Bank employee somewhat reluctantly answered, “Sir, your account doesn’t have a Tier 3 treasury. The Tier 3 account only comprises a small deposit box. According to our records, only three items are inside.”
Xia Fei was stunned. Sure enough, the best was saved for the last. Since the Tier 3 account was just a deposit box with only three items inside, it must mean that they were the most precious possessions of the Atlanteans! The complete Beast Spirit Codex must be inside!
“Am I only able to access it after becoming a Law Overlord?” Xia Fei anxiously inquired.
“Heh... Sir, there’s no relevant cultivation required to access the Tier 3 account’s deposit box; one just has to move up there.” The staff pointed to the sky as he said this.
Xia Fei instantly understood what this bank employee meant. It turned out that only by joining one of the two peak races could he access the Tier 3 account.
That just served to highlight the strictness of this requirement. That secret deposit box was prepared for the God Race!
