Chapter 1 What is Solomon's Treasure?

"Is this Solomon's Treasure?" Shi Feng couldn't help but wonder.

He originally thought it would be mountains of gold and seas of silver, or at least a high-grade treasure chest, but he never expected it to be a book.

"Could it be an Epic item?"

Thinking this, Shi Feng stood up and picked up the ancient book.

The oppressive aura emanating from it alone made his heart palpitate, a power only Epic or higher-grade items possessed.

In God's Domain, while Epic-grade weapons and equipment were precious, Epic-grade items were even rarer.

Like the Book of Darkness.

Without occupying any equipment slots, it could greatly enhance a player's strength, an advantage that other weapons and equipment couldn't match.

As soon as Shi Feng picked up the ancient book, a system notification sounded in his ears.

System: Player has obtained the ancient manuscript ‘Solomon's Treasure.’ Open the ancient manuscript?

"So this is an ancient manuscript." Hearing the system notification, Shi Feng's expression became excited. "It truly lives up to its name as a treasure."

There were many books in God's Domain. Some were for reading, some for learning skills, and some for using. The Book of Darkness belonged to this category. Among these books, there was a very rare and special type: the ancient manuscript.

Ancient manuscripts recorded a lot of information about God's Domain. Players who obtained an ancient manuscript had one chance to open it and obtain a piece of information about God's Domain that they wanted to know.

This might not seem like much, but ancient manuscripts were once treasures that drove the entire God's Domain crazy.

Back then, at the Blackwing City auction, an ancient manuscript was sold for an astronomical price, even higher than a fragment of a Legendary item.

Why was it so expensive?

Because players could obtain the whereabouts of Legendary items from ancient manuscripts, giving them a great chance to obtain one. That was why ancient manuscripts were so precious.

Of course, in addition to Legendary items, one could also obtain extremely powerful super skills and various props. However, from the perspective of improving strength, Legendary items were undoubtedly the best choice.

Legendary items in God's Domain were extremely limited. To obtain one, one had to put in an unknown amount of effort, or even effort might not be enough. Luck and strength were also needed.

Every Legendary item was very difficult to obtain, and there were no specific whereabouts, only clues.

Clues were not 100% accurate; most were traps.

In other words, a lot of time would be spent, and the end result might be nothing.

Many large guilds would pour their resources into obtaining a Legendary item, spending a lot of time to obtain some clues, and then searching for the whereabouts of the Legendary item from the many clues they obtained. The manpower and resources required were unimaginable. Therefore, even with the power of an entire large guild, the chances of obtaining a Legendary item were very slim.

But an ancient manuscript could directly find the whereabouts of a Legendary item, without having to check the obtained clues one by one. That was why ancient manuscripts were so precious and rare.

"It seems this quest wasn't a waste of time." Shi Feng looked at the ancient manuscript in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Although he knew quite a few clues about Legendary items, he didn't know how they were obtained, because no one would be so idle as to publicize such high-level secrets. They would all make a fortune in silence. Shi Feng obtained some clues through various secret investigations by the guild. Ordinary players probably couldn't even dream of knowing a clue.

"Although it's impossible to obtain a Legendary item with my current level, getting the exact whereabouts of one will allow me to prepare earlier." Shi Feng immediately clicked to confirm the opening.

After Shi Feng confirmed, Solomon's Treasure suddenly opened, emitting a dazzling golden light, revealing a five-layered magic array in front of Shi Feng. Countless runes flowed within the magic array.

The entire space was also frozen, preventing players from contacting the outside world, and vice versa.

System: Ancient manuscript Solomon's Treasure opened...

System: Connecting to the Main God System...

System: Verification correct, confirmed as Solomon's Book, Volume 6. Connection to the God's Domain database allowed...

System: God's Domain database connection successful. Player has one chance to access the God's Domain database. Please enter the information you wish to search for.

"Good thing I know the names of Legendary items. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't know how to search." Shi Feng smiled and immediately entered Solomon's Sword.

System: Searching for information on Solomon's Sword...

System: Database retrieval complete. Confirming Solomon's Sword information...

System: Information confirmation complete. Select to receive?

Shi Feng clicked to receive the data.

Immediately, Shi Feng felt a lot of information about Solomon's Sword flowing into his brain. The displayed God's Domain clues alone numbered 3,687, causing Shi Feng to feel a little dizzy.

If the guild were to search for these clues, finding even one would be extremely difficult, let alone 3,687. If they were to be confirmed one by one, it would drive a large guild crazy.

Shi Feng finally understood one thing.

Anyone who could obtain a Legendary item had definitely been favored by the Main God System, with heaven-defying luck, or they possessed amazing power, like a super guild. Not only did they have a large number of guild members, but they also had many monster-like experts. Only then would they have the ability to search for Legendary items. Third-rate and second-rate large guilds simply couldn't do it.

"I didn't expect that the clues I obtained before were all false. Fortunately, I didn't go, or I would have wasted a lot of time." Shi Feng couldn't help but feel relieved.

Among the 3,687 clues, only 5 were confirmed to be correct. In other words, only by following these 5 clues could he eventually obtain Solomon's Sword, one of the ten legendary weapons.

Without the existence of the ancient manuscript, Shi Feng would probably not be able to obtain Solomon's Sword even after decades.

Each of these 3,687 clues would take a lot of time to confirm, the short ones two or three days, and the long ones ten days or half a month. Moreover, due to level reasons, many places couldn't be accessed. Even if it only took one day to confirm a clue, it would take ten years to confirm them all...

This difficulty could drive any expert player crazy. Without the ancient manuscript, wanting to obtain Solomon's Sword was simply a dream.

After receiving all the information, Shi Feng also felt dizzy. Suddenly, a system notification sounded in his ears again.
