Bang! The black figure fell to the ground by Jianchen's feet before lying there motionlessly. Only now did he see the black figure's true appearance. It was a ten-meter-long mutated lizard. Its body was black and covered in mud. It gave off an abnormally pungent stench.
The lizard was extremely poisonous. Blood flowed from the wound on its head where Jianchen's sword Qi had pierced through it, staining the ground. It actually corroded the ground, creating a pit that constantly expanded and deepened.
Jianchen pointed a few times and shot out a few more strands of sword Qi at the lizard's corpse. Every single strand of sword Qi was extremely powerful, easily piercing through the lizard's body. In the end, he removed a fist-sized monster core from the lizard's body and grabbed it. Without any protection, the poison on the monster core was unable to harm him at all.
Jianchen used a handful of mud to wipe the poison off the monster core before stowing it away in his Space Ring. The mutated lizard was a Class 8 Magical Beast, so the monster core it nurtured was extremely valuable. Even if he had no use for it, he could give it to the experts of Changyang Prefecture.
Qing Yixuan stared at the dead lizard as she stood beside Jianchen. She was secretly shocked. The lizard was not much weaker than her. Even if she had been the one to deal with it, she would have needed to expend a lot of effort to kill it. She had never thought that it would be killed so easily by Jianchen. It was as weak as an ant, which shocked her very much.
Is this the strength of the Holy Emperor? It's actually so terrifying. If Jianchen had used that attack on me, I wonder if I would have ended up like this lizard. Qing Yixuan was greatly shocked. She understood very well that the bastard who was far weaker than her back then had now become an existence that she could only look up to.
Thinking about how Jianchen had been chased by her for thousands of kilometers, Qing Yixuan immediately felt an indescribable emotion. Even her lips curled into a faint smile.
She had once chased down a Holy Emperor.
Is the treasury of the Tao family here? Jianchen no longer paid any attention to the lizard's corpse, allowing it to lie there. Even though it was the corpse of a Class 8 Magical Beast, he had no plans of taking it away. He studied the valley seriously.
Qing Yixuan dismissed her thoughts and stared at the valley. She said, "Correct, it's here. When I secretly followed Tao Zhengtian, I saw him enter this valley. However, there are many hidden killing formations in the valley, which are extremely powerful. As a result, I never entered it, so I have no idea where the treasury of the Tao family is located."
"There are indeed many formations in the valley. Even if a Holy Emperor enters the Ninth Heavenly Layer, he will die if he is careless. These formations should have been personally cast down by the Holy Emperor a very long time ago. It's impossible for a Holy Emperor to cast down such powerful formations at his level of cultivation." Jianchen had already expanded the senses of his soul, enveloping the entire valley. He discovered many hidden formations.
"The Tao family is a powerful clan that once gave birth to a Holy Emperor. However, there were many Holy Emperors in the sea realm back then, nowhere near as few as there are now.
As a result, the appearance of a Holy Emperor was unable to lead the Tao family to glory. These formations should have been cast down by the Holy Emperor, so probably only experts at the same level as the Holy Emperor would be able to get through them, "Qing Yixuan said as she looked at Qing Yixuan. She looked at Jianchen. Whether she could obtain the treasury of the Tao family today would all depend on Jianchen, as there was something she needed in there.
"Has no one discovered the treasury of the Tao family after all these years?" Jianchen asked.
Qing Yixuan said after a moment of thought, "According to what I know, the ancestor of the Holy Emperor of the Tao family had once used a great ability to conceal this valley, sealing it off. Even Holy Emperor experts would struggle to discover it, so no one has ever discovered this place. However, with the passage of time, the great ability cast down by the ancestor of the Tao family has lost its effects, which is why this place has been exposed. However, this place is extremely well-hidden. Normally, no one would come here. I only learned about the treasury of the Tao family by accident, and I only found this place by secretly following Tao Zhengtian. "
Jianchen nodded. He believed most of what Qing Yixuan had said, which was why the valley really had been cast down by a Holy Emperor.
"Let's go in. Follow behind me carefully. I think I've already found the exact location of the treasury." Jianchen said calmly before entering the valley first. Immediately, the landscape before him changed. The valley vanished, and he was standing on a vast ocean all by himself. The waves surged into the sky as a huge, vicious beast flew over. Its presence was as great as the mountains and rivers, enveloping the surroundings.
This was a vicious beast that possessed the might of the Holy Emperor. It was extraordinarily powerful.
Jianchen's expression did not change. He sighed, "This formation really is extraordinary. Even the Holy Emperor would need to expend quite some effort to get through it. It's a pity that with the passage of time, the power of the formation has greatly weakened. It can't even take a single blow from the Holy Emperor." Jianchen swung his sleeve and countless strands of sword Qi shot out. The sword Qi split into two. One rushed into the ocean and struck the bottom, while the other rushed into the sky, shattering the universe.
Boom! With a great rumble, the space violently trembled. Before the vicious beast with the might of the Holy Emperor could reach Jianchen, it dispersed into a gust of clear air. The landscape before Jianchen changed once again. The ocean vanished, and he was standing in the valley once more.
Afterwards, Jianchen led Qing Yixuan deeper and deeper into the valley. Along the way, they swept through all the formations hidden in the darkness. The formations were indeed very powerful. If they were at their peak, they would have been able to stop the Holy Emperor. However, they could only be used against the Holy Emperor now. They obviously could not stop Jianchen.
Before long, Jianchen and Qing Yixuan stood in the very depths of the valley. Before them was an uneven cliff.
"We've already reached the end of the valley," said Qing Yixuan. She glanced around, searching for anything suspicious.
"It should be here." Jianchen stared at the cliff before him. His senses of the soul had already discovered that there was a formation here.
Boom!
With a great rumble, Jianchen shot out a strand of sword Qi, striking the cliff before him. The entire ground shook violently, and dust filled the air.
A huge cave appeared before Jianchen and Qing Yixuan. It was pitch-black inside, and cold, moist winds blew out.
Qing Yixuan's eyes narrowed. Even with her strength, she had failed to discover anything amiss at such a close distance. She could not help but sigh inside at the ingenuity of the formations here.
The cave was very long. It led straight underground. Jianchen and Qing Yixuan followed the tunnel for several kilometers before finally arriving before a huge, stone door. The entire stone door pulsed with powerful energy, making it extremely tough.
In order to prevent the cave from collapsing, Jianchen did not forcefully destroy it this time. Instead, he used a strand of sword Qi to carve out a two-meter-wide hole in the stone door and walked in.
Inside the stone door was a huge space. The ceiling was embedded with thousands of fist-sized luminous pearls and pearls of various colors. The largest ones were even the size of a person's head.
Several small mountains of crystal coins were stacked neatly in one place. They radiated with extremely dense water elemental energy. The crystal coins had all surpassed supreme quality, reaching the level of God Tier.
