Xiao Chen asked out of curiosity, "What is this?"
Mo Chen explained, "This jade pendant of mine was passed down from my ancestors. Whether we can obtain the Book of Heavenly Works or not depends on it. This piece of yours should be the key to some secret room. However, if we cannot find the corresponding secret room, this key is useless. "
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's interest diminished significantly. He put away the jade pendant and said, "Let's go. We have to help you obtain the Book of Heavenly Works quickly. If we delay, something might happen."
Mo Chen nodded, and the unlatched doors opened once more. Then, the two formally entered the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion.
The instant the doors opened, an unpleasant smell of blood wafted out. The shelves and the boxes on the stone pillars were all opened.
The ground was littered with recently dead corpses. The blood had not dried yet.
Aside from dying at the hands of cultivators, most of them died to the restrictions of the treasures. Every box and treasure here had restrictions and ancient mechanisms that could not be casually touched.
The first floor of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion was already incomparably complicated. The pathways extended in all directions. If one walked around carelessly, they might not even know the way to the second floor.
Mo Chen took out a rough map and glanced at it. Then, she advanced unhurriedly. Along the way, she did not even glance at the stone rooms or the treasures on the shelves.
Soon, they arrived at the passageway to the second floor. There was a thin barrier there, blocking several cultivators from entering.
"Bang!
Bang! Bang! "Two Inferior Grade Martial Sages attacked the barrier. However, the barrier did not budge at all. Instead, it reflected their attacks. The two vomited blood. Unexpectedly, the last strike had shaken them to death.
The other cultivators who were preparing to test the barrier paled in fright. They no longer dared to make a move. They all hoped that when an expert broke the barrier, they could take the opportunity to pass through.
Xiao Chen felt startled in his heart. The rebound force of this barrier might not be half of what he sent back. It might be double or even triple.
Of course, there was definitely a limit. It could not go on indefinitely. As long as one passed that threshold, it could be easily broken.
There were many cultivators here. Xiao Chen did not want to attract attention. He hugged Mo Chen, not allowing her to struggle. Then, he pushed off the ground and soared into the air, turning into a saber.
Buzz!
A resplendent saber light came from Xiao Chen's body, shining like the sun. Everyone's vision blurred as they heard the hum of a saber ring out beside their ears. When they opened their eyes again, the crack in the barrier was slowly mending.
"Damn, where did this expert come from?"
In the time it took for a spark to fly, someone instantly broke through the barrier. The waiting cultivators all cried out in alarm.
There were also quite a few people who were secretly cursing. Since they were going to go, it would be good to bring two people along.
"Get lost!"
Just at this moment, a rough shout resounded, and two strong auras surged over. The bodies of the cultivators were tossed into the walls like sandbags. They were badly mutilated and died on the spot.
Everyone turned around and saw two rays of light as resplendent as the sun, illuminating the hall as if it was daytime.
"It's Zodiac Hall, a disciple of Sun Palace. Run!"
The remaining people were greatly startled. Zodiac Hall was a huge place in the entire Heavenly Starry Ocean. Furthermore, these were the elite Sun Palace disciples. How could they dare to remain here?
"They are indeed trash. Before the two of us made a move, the Sun Astral Might smashed them to death!"
Lu Shaoyou and Feng Ziying said indifferently as they put away the Solar Astral Banners above their heads and looked at the mangled corpses on the ground.
The mouths of Chen Wenjun and the great grandmaster-level Martial Sage of the Nine Cauldron Merchant Association twitched. They could not bear to watch. Most of the cultivators on the first floor were only Martial Monarchs.
How could they block the Solar Astral Banners that the two had refined with tens of thousands of kilograms of divine materials?
Lu Shaoyou played with a mysterious black metal in his hand, a faint smile on his face.
Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Senior Brother, your luck is pretty good. You managed to obtain an ancient Iron Heart on the first floor. Even if you melt it down, you can exchange it for one hundred tons of divine materials."
Lu Shaoyou said indifferently, "This Iron Heart is the core component of the Fire Li Sect's combat puppets. If we can comprehend its secrets and forge combat puppets that can learn Martial Techniques, they will be worth far more than one hundred tons of divine materials."
A dim look flashed in Lu Shaoyou's eyes as he said, "Unfortunately, even the rare Divine Grade refiners cannot comprehend its secrets. Without the Book of Heavenly Works, everything is for naught."
Chen Wenjun whispered, "Senior Brothers, that saber light earlier seemed to be from Wen Ziran. The person he brought with him was Mo Chen."
Feng Ziying exclaimed softly, "What's wrong? Do you have a grudge with him?"
"This Wen Ziran humiliated a subordinate clan of mine. That Mo Chen also grasps the unique refining techniques of the Mo Clan. I have always wanted to annex this clan."
Lu Shaoyou's eyes lit up. After some thought, he said, "Mo Chen, this girl is quite famous. Unfortunately, she is disfigured."
Feng Ziying said casually, "Let's give chase and take a look. After all, this place is very big. We won't be able to cover it in a short time. We can just find something to do."
When Chen Wenjun heard this, he rejoiced. He smiled and said, "Many thanks, Senior Brothers. I'll go and tear open the barrier."
Feng Ziying's lips curled up as he said, "It is just a small barrier. There is no need to go over personally. Watch me."
With a flip of his hand, the Solar Astral Banner appeared in his palm. The banner fluttered, and a beam of flame shot out, burning the entire barrier.
Disdain flashed in the eyes of the two as they flew over.
Chen Wenjun recovered his wits and quickly gave chase. He was horrified at the strength of the Sun Palace disciples.
The Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion had a total of five floors. With each floor, the might of the barrier would double. Even with Xiao Chen's strength, he found it somewhat strenuous to break the barrier in the end.
At the start, Chen Wenjun's group easily broke the barrier. In the end, Lu Shaoyou and Feng Ziying had to work together to break it.
All the peak experts of this treasure hunt were gathered on the fifth floor of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion. Xiao Chen and Feng Ziying walked very carefully. Mo Chen chose the path with great care.
However, this place restricted the use of Spiritual Sense. Xiao Chen did not notice that the people of the Sun Palace were following him from a distance.
On the fifth floor, every stone room contained a high-ranked King Grade Secret Treasure, a Divine Weapon from the Ancient Era, all sorts of natural treasures, or even ancient divine materials.
Of course, it was not that easy to obtain them. The stone rooms had strong restrictions and traps. If one was not careful, they might fail to find the treasure and end up losing their lives.
All sorts of miserable cries rang out on the fifth floor of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion. From the moment Xiao Chen and Feng Ziying arrived, they had not stopped.
Lu Shaoyou and Feng Ziying, who were following behind them, showed grave expressions from their initial carelessness.
Even a fool would know that something was wrong with Xiao Chen and Mo Chen, who were following them, not even glancing at the various stone rooms and Secret Treasures.
Excitement flashed in Feng Ziying's eyes as he muttered, "Interesting. We were just looking for something to do. Unexpectedly, we caught a big fish."
Chen Wenjun smiled gently and said, "Five thousand years ago, the Mo Clan was the master of this sea region. The treasure they are searching for is definitely not simple. It is either the legendary Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow or the even more mysterious Book of Heavenly Works! "
"The Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow is one of the top five Divine Weapons on the Divine Weapon Ranking. Is it really in the headquarters of the Fire Li Sect?" Shock flashed in Lu Shaoyou's eyes.
Lu Shaoyou did not find it strange that the Book of Heavenly Works was in the Fire Li Sect. After all, this Divine Canon was the foundation of the Fire Li Sect.
However, no one had heard of the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow being in this treasure mountain. That was a Divine Weapon that had been missing for tens of thousands of years.
If not for the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow's name being on the Divine Weapon Ranking, many people would have thought that this Divine Weapon was damaged and disappeared.
Chen Wenjun smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "It is just a rumor. In the past, when the treasure mountain appeared, someone once saw it shoot out an arrow and kill a Golden Crow descendant that flew by.
"That Golden Crow descendant was the Black Dragon Eagle, a Spirit Beast comparable to the Blue Robed Emperor. However, it was killed by this arrow light. Hence, this rumor appeared in the Cloud Sea Domain. As for whether it is true or not, there is no way to verify it. "
Feng Ziying did not believe it. "The rumor is somewhat false. However, this Mo Chen has been very cautious along the way. She has already made three detours. Even if it is not the Book of Heavenly Works or the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow, it is definitely a valuable treasure!"
Lu Shaoyou nodded, and a fervent look flashed in his eyes. "We really did not come for nothing this time. We two senior brothers will definitely shine brightly in the Four Seas Hero Gathering. At that time, even the outstanding talents of the Sun Palace will be inferior to us. "
--- At the same time, in the fifth floor of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, some people rejoiced, some people cried out miserably, and some people felt depressed after obtaining a treasure.
The Silver Shark King youth carefully broke a restriction in a stone room and obtained a King Grade Battle Armor that contained eighty-nine formations. He was overjoyed.
"With this Secret Treasure, my defense will double." The silver-haired youth pondered for a moment before saying, "The restrictions in this place are a little strange. Even I cannot break through some of them, and some of them strengthen according to my strength. I should spend some time refining this secret treasure first."
Xuanyuan Zhantian vomited a mouthful of blood and looked at the pile of shattered combat puppets on the ground with lingering fear. He said sullenly, "This combat puppet is very powerful. It clearly only has the strength of a grandmaster-level Martial Sage, but it even knows a Profound Martial Technique. I nearly died here."
Xuanyuan Zhantian glanced at the treasure chest on the stone platform in front. Then, he took a step back and smashed the treasure chest with a palm strike from a distance.
A poisonous fog quickly spread out. Xuanyuan Zhantian had been prepared for this long ago. He sent out a palm wind and quickly scattered the poisonous fog, not staining it at all.
When the poisonous fog scattered, a yellowed secret manual was revealed. Xuanyuan Zhantian put on a pair of gloves and waved his hand to pull the secret manual over. There was a bloody word "forbidden" on the cover.
Xuanyuan Zhantian carefully flipped through it and revealed an expression of joy. "Although it is not a Profound Cultivation Technique or Martial Technique, this Forbidden Art can instantly increase my combat prowess tenfold. It would be great if it did not reduce my lifespan."
This Forbidden Art was called the Wheel of Life and Death. Once it was executed, it would reduce a cultivator's lifespan by one year.
