(Due to a slip of the pen in the previous chapter, I misstated that the ancestor of the Lu family was an early Deity.)
The light in Shen Jian's eyes immediately flickered when he saw the box in Jianchen's hand protected by layers of formations. He was extremely curious about the treasure of the Lu family.
"These formations are indeed very powerful. If I were alone, it would be extremely difficult for me to get through them, but if we work together, we'll be able to get through them in a single day," said Jian Chen. With that, a dazzling white light immediately appeared in his right hand. It condensed into a powerful strand of sword Qi in a single instance, which he pressed against the box loudly. Powerful origin energy pulsed within the white light. He directly used his cultivation as a Deity and the power of the Laws of the Sword to fend off the formations on the box.
"This is the Mo clan. Be careful of controlling your power. Don't alarm anyone else," said Jian Chen. He also began to condense the power of the Laws of the Sword in his right hand, condensing it into a dazzling sword just like Shen Jian. He attacked the formations on the box.
The formations on the box immediately began to flicker when the two of them attacked. All the formations were activated at that moment, unleashing their greatest power. They formed powerful defences that blocked the attacks from Jianchen and Shen Jian. At the same time, the origin energy in the surroundings was drawn in by the formations, rapidly gathering towards the formations on the box. It was constantly absorbed by the formations to replenish their energy.
After all, in order for a formation to function, it also required energy. Although the formation on the treasure box could last for quite some time on its own, there were many formations set up on the treasure box, and one of them just so happened to be a formation that gathered Origin Energy.
As soon as the formations on the box began to absorb the origin energy in the surroundings, Jianchen understood that it was impossible for them to not attract the attention of the Mo clan. The formations on the box gathered the origin energy extremely quickly. Let alone Godhood experts, even all the Origin realm experts in the Mo clan could clearly sense the changes in the origin energy in the surroundings.
However, Jianchen and Shen Jian did not stop because of this. Instead, they began to work as hard as they could to get through the formations on the box. This was because the hall they resided in was equivalent to Shen Jian's personal residence. Without Shen Jian's permission, even the patriarch could not enter as he wished, let alone the other elders of the Mo clan.
After all, Godhood experts possessed extremely great statuses in the Mo clan, even if they had only just reached Godhood.
As expected, as the changes in the origin energy in the surroundings appeared, the elders who were cultivating in the other halls all opened their eyes. They looked towards the seventh hall.
"Looks like Shen Jian's talent is very impressive. He can actually cause such a disturbance when he cultivates. His rate of absorbing origin energy is nowhere close to mine …"
"Absorbing origin energy? Sigh, it's already been several thousand years since I've experienced something like this. I've already been stuck at mid Deity for several thousand years. It's just a pity that I've never been able to make any progress in my comprehension of laws, allowing me to reach late Deity … "
The elders of the Mo clan murmured. They mistook the disturbance from Shen Jian and Jianchen's work as Shen Jian was cultivating.
At the same time, the patriarch looked towards Shen Jian's residence. He could not help but sigh in admiration as he sensed the rate at which origin energy gathered, "I really was right. Shen Jian's talent really is extraordinary. Aside from Yu 'er, there's probably no one else in our Mo clan who can match him. I need to rope him in. If he becomes the seventh elder of our Mo clan, perhaps we'll have enough strength to move into the provincial city in a thousand years. That's only if the Lu family and the Ando clan don't make trouble for our Mo clan. "
In a mountain range several million kilometers away from the Mo clan, there was a dense cluster of buildings. They were made of black bricks and white tiles, as well as jade buildings. There were pools of clear water and mist lingering in the air. Cranes flew in the sky while precious spiritual beasts ran on the ground. They would cry out from time to time. From afar, it seemed like a paradise.
This was where the Ando clan resided. The Ando clan was the same as the Mo clan, the Lu family, and the Atomos Sword sect. They were one of the four great powers in the region. However, compared to the other three organisations, the Ando clan was extremely particular about where they lived. Under their purposeful arrangements, the Ando clan seemed like a paradise.
Of course, the Ando clan had paid quite a hefty price to make the clan like this.
At this moment, the ancestor of the Lu family sat with a ruddy old man in a secret room within the Ando clan. They were talking sternly.
The ruddy old man was the ancestor of the Ando clan, Ando Gu.
"What? The treasure of your Lu family has already ended up in the hands of the Mo clan? Lu Tian, is this true? " The ancestor of the Ando clan, Ando Gu, stared at the ancestor of the Lu family in shock. Disbelief filled his face.
The ancestor of the Lu family's face sank. Heavy killing intent filled his eyes as he said coldly, "Ando Gu, do you think Old Man would joke about something like this? The Mo clan secretly bribed Lu Fei. Lu Fei used a powerful formation disc to trap Old Man before stealing the treasure and escaping. However, when Lu Fei fled from our Lu family, he was already heavily injured. When he met up with the people of the Mo clan, they took the treasure from Lu Fei before killing him. They wanted to silence him. That way, our Lu family would have no idea who bribed Lu Fei. "
"However, the Mo clan never thought that Old Man would break through the formation in time and catch up. He learnt who the mastermind was, so their plan to steal the treasure from our Lu family without anyone knowing fell through."
Ando Gu became stern when he heard that. He said furiously, "I never thought that the Mo clan would be so ambitious. They've gone too far."
The ancestor of the Lu family stared at Ando Gu and said sternly, "Since the Mo clan has already extended their hand to our Lu family, there must be people they've bribed in your Ando clan as well. Perhaps some of your Godhood elders have already joined the Mo clan and are secretly watching over the treasure of your Ando clan. Once the opportunity arises, your Ando clan will suffer the same fate as our Lu family."
Ando Gu slammed the table viciously and snorted coldly, "It looks like the Mo clan has grown up with the addition of Xi Yu. They want to fend off our two clans all by themselves."
"No, the Mo clan doesn't just have Xi Yu. They also have a mysterious Godhood expert. It was this mysterious Godhood expert who took the treasure from Lu Fei. Old Man fought with him, but he failed to gain any advantage. We failed to retrieve the treasure either," the ancestor of the Lu family said emotionlessly.
Ando Gu was surprised, "What? The Mo clan actually has such a powerful expert, where even you failed to gain any advantage? Just where did the Mo clan recruit them from? "
