As the saying goes, a rotten ship still has three catties of nails, and a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. How could a sect with over a million disciples disappear just like that?
He noticed that Wang Dong used the term 'suddenly declined'. Generally speaking, for such a colossal sect, if there were no external forces, even if it declined, it would still be a very long process.
"In fact, we don't know much about the specific situation, because after countless wars and changes, even our Alchemist Society, which doesn't participate in the struggle for world hegemony, was once on the verge of destruction!" Wang Dong said very calmly, as if it wasn't their Alchemist Society. "In that process, many ancient records were lost, so we don't know much about what happened back then. The only thing we know is that the Purple Thunder Sword Sect seemed to have gone on an expedition to an unknown place and suffered a great defeat. Less than ten percent of the people who went on an expedition back then returned, and the remaining people were not enough to suppress the various powers that were stirring up trouble. In the end, in a very short period of time, the sect declined, and the sect was breached!"
"An expedition?" Chu Yunfan was stunned. The Purple Thunder Sword Sect had over a million disciples, but the expedition actually failed?
What kind of power was it that they went on an expedition against? It was actually so powerful!
"Yes, an expedition. More things have been buried in history, and even I don't know!"
Wang Dong said.
"Ever since the Purple Thunder Sword Sect declined, the sect was breached, and all the disciples were slaughtered. The treasure vault of the Purple Thunder Sword Sect that was originally filled with treasures also disappeared without a trace!" Wang Dong said. "Actually, the entrance to the treasure vault has always been there, in this mountain. The residents of this town are actually the descendants of the disciples who guarded the treasure vault of the Purple Thunder Sword Sect back then!"
"Is it because we lack a sword token, so we can't open it?" Chu Yunfan asked.
Wang Dong nodded his head and said, "This is one of the reasons, but it isn't the only reason. The crucial point is that the timing isn't right yet. In truth, the location of this mountain range is merely an entrance, and the treasury is built in another dimension. After the decline of the Violet Thunder Sword Sect, this treasury has already separated itself from the Spiritual Realm, and would only return once every few hundred years. This time around, the treasury will return once more, and we can only enter at that time!"
"But if I don't appear, this opportunity will be gone!" Chu Yunfan said indifferently.
"No, you will appear!" Wang Dong said. "In fact, the reason why we have gathered here this time is precisely because we are confident. This time, the Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of Divine Mysteries has personally used the Book of Changes to deduce. This time, the treasury will see the light of day again!"
Chu Yunfan was instantly interested. He had unintentionally come here while fighting with the Khan of the Golden Tribe. All of this was a coincidence, but someone had actually predicted it in advance.
"Impossible. As far as I know, it is impossible to deduce the future even at the Dan Realm. Even if one is stronger than the Dan Realm, it is still impossible!" Chu Yunfan shook his head and said.
He had Danhuang's memories in his mind, so he naturally knew that to deduce the future, it would require an astonishing cultivation base. Even if one was a realm stronger than the Dan Realm, it would still be impossible to do so.
Especially when it came to deducing experts, the stronger the expert, the more difficult it was to deduce. The traces of these experts in the long river of fate became increasingly faint, until finally they left the Three Realms and were no longer in the Five Elements.
With his cultivation base, not to mention the Void Core Realm, even the Core Formation Realm would not be able to deduce his roots.
"Of course, it is impossible to deduce the arrival of the Young Master Sword. When the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion made this deduction, it was already a year ago. At that time, he only calculated that there might be a turning point in this matter through the Book of Changes. Of course, it is impossible to calculate everything. Otherwise, all the benefits in the world would have been taken by the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!" Wang Dong said with a smile.
Only then did Chu Yunfan come to a realization. If that was the case, then it was normal. They had only used some sort of method to deduce that the treasury would open today. As for how it would open and who would open it, these were all unknown.
It was only certain that it would open today!
This was the fate of the unseen. However, there were always some variables in the Great Dao and 49 in the Heavenly Mystery.
Fixed numbers were fixed numbers, and variables were variables. The two were unrelated, but they could exist at the same time.
But even so, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion could not be underestimated. Even if it was just an ambiguous deduction, if it was done well, the benefits that could be obtained were simply too great.
The Book of Changes that Wang Dong kept mentioning before was most likely related to this. The fact that Wang Dong was able to calculate these things should be closely related to the Book of Changes.
"I wonder how many of these sword medallions are there now?" Chu Yunfan asked.
"In order to open the treasure vault of the Purple Thunder Sword Sect, a total of seven sword medallions are required. Among them, the Alchemist Association has one, the Golden Tribe, Great Wei Country, and Great Qi Country have one each, and the Netherworld Sect has one. As for the last one, it is in the hands of the Nine Stars Sect!" Wang Dong explained.
Chu Yunfan thought to himself. It was no wonder that the Stainless Sect Sect Master had been so nervous back then. Every single one of the factions involved in these sword badges was a colossus. Compared to these factions, any one of them could easily crush the Stainless Sect.
Hence, he didn't dare to make it public. Who knew that in the end, it would fall into the hands of Chu Yunfan, benefiting Chu Yunfan.
"However, since this matter was deduced by the Pavilion of Heavenly Mystery, why don't they have it in their hands?" Chu Yunfan asked doubtfully.
"They also wish to have it, but sadly, they don't have the means to do so!" Wang Dong lightly replied.
Chu Yunfan thought about it and agreed. Although the Pavilion of Heavenly Mystery was a hegemon, which of the powers with the sword medallions were weaker than the Pavilion of Heavenly Mystery?
Following which, a hint of sharpness flashed in Wang Dong's eyes as he said, "Precisely because of this, the Pavilion of Heavenly Mystery decided to leak the information, attracting so many experts from the various powers!"
"The Pavilion of Heavenly Mystery wants to fish in troubled waters?" Chu Yunfan almost immediately understood what the Pavilion of Heavenly Mystery wanted to do. They didn't have the sword medallions in their hands, but they still wanted a share of the spoils. The only way to do so was to stir up the waters so that they could fish in troubled waters.
