"Indeed, during our time, such people would have been dragons and phoenixes among men, absolute geniuses. However, there are so many of them now."
Originally, these people were mocking Xiao Chen for overestimating himself. However, when they saw so many young cultivators breaking through the huge waves, they all sighed.
--- The instant Xiao Chen entered the huge waves, he immediately felt the space around him turn chaotic. His vision turned blurry and he only recovered his wits after a long time.
The sky was blue; he could clearly see the white clouds. However, the huge waves behind him were separated by several dozen kilometers.
"It is indeed as that Bloody Bladesman said. The natural laws here have changed. It is a completely different world outside and inside."
Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and focused his gaze on the island in front. Then, he quickly flew over.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Chen landed firmly on the edge of the island. A huge palace stood at the highest point of the island.
The cultivators breaking through the waves all rushed towards the palace. The treasures should be inside the palace. Xiao Chen hesitated for a while before he followed.
"I, Wu Shangxuan, have finally returned to Qianren Island. This time, I must obtain a natural treasure that can allow me to break through to half-step Martial Monarch."
Above the seaside of Qianren Island, Wu Shangxuan smiled sinisterly. "I hope that brat has reached this island as well. He has three Secret Treasures at the same time. He must be very valuable."
After Wu Shangxuan spoke, he quickly flew towards the palace at the highest point of Qianren Island.
The huge and majestic palace looked very close. However, it took some time to get there. The doors of the palace were already open, and there were a few collapsed stone pillars outside.
When Xiao Chen arrived, he discovered that the palace was already mostly destroyed. Many of the buildings had already collapsed. However, the main palace was still intact.
Since Xiao Chen was already here, he could not hesitate any longer. He followed the crowd and entered the palace. He kept his Spiritual Sense within a hundred meters of him, maintaining his vigilance.
The passageways in the main hall were extremely complicated. Xiao Chen felt like he was in a spiderweb, all tangled up and tangled together.
There were Night Pearls embedded in the ceiling. When the light shone down, it did not make one's vision dim.
Xiao Chen extended out his Spiritual Sense. In this place, his Spiritual Sense could spread out without any hindrance. Soon, the rough outline of the main palace appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.
The buildings in the main palace were arranged in circles. There were fifteen of them, which was equivalent to fifteen floors. It really looked like a spiderweb.
There was a spacious main hall in the core. That should be the heart of the palace.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to check the situation on each floor, he felt a sharp pain in his mind.
The map of the main hall flickered continuously in his mind. His mind felt like it was about to explode.
Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly, and he quickly withdrew his Spiritual Sense. The layout of this main hall actually followed some strange formation. He could only investigate it by himself.
There were many open rooms on both sides of the road, and the things inside had been emptied. It seemed that the people who came here first had already taken away the treasures here.
"There must have been many good things in the past. We came too late. Now, everything has been moved away."
"It's fine. The real Secret Treasures, Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, and the like are in the innermost floors. The outer floors are filled with gold, agate, jadeite, and other worldly items."
A team of five people next to Xiao Chen came out of a room and discussed softly.
"How do you know so much? You have never been here before." The person who spoke earlier clearly did not believe it.
"I have not been here before, but there were many people in the past. News would have spread. The rooms in the inner floors are guarded by Demonic Beasts, Puppet Beasts, and Combat Puppets. It is very dangerous. We have to defeat them before we can take away the things safely."
"There are many rooms. In the past, only a few people came. Time was limited. It was impossible to take them all."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the inner floors and take a look. This place has been emptied."
The five of them stopped talking and rushed forward at full speed. It was like the Secret Treasures were waving at them, waiting for them to take them.
Xiao Chen's expression was calm. He was not in a rush to follow them. He said indifferently, "How can the Secret Treasures be so easy to take? Otherwise, the people who came every time would not have died. Not even ten percent of them returned."
Xiao Chen casually walked into a room at the side. The room was no more than ten meters long, five meters wide, and four meters tall. It was a rather spacious room.
There was an empty box under the southern wall. Xiao Chen went over and took a look. He discovered a piece of gold that had not been cleaned in time.
"It looks like this place is indeed the periphery of the palace. There are no special treasures inside," Xiao Chen muttered as he held the piece of gold in his hand.
There was a large pile of metal shards on the ground. Xiao Chen used his scabbard to pry them apart. After a while, he saw a few exhausted Medial Grade Spirit Stones.
"This is only the first floor, and there are already combat puppets or puppet beasts using Medial Grade Spirit Stones. It is easy to imagine how dangerous the later floors will be," Xiao Chen thought to himself.
Xiao Chen remained in the building on the first floor for a long time. He went in and out of the empty rooms and observed them carefully.
Fortuitous encounters were often accompanied by unimaginable danger. He was no longer the hot-headed youth who had just stepped out into the world.
He no longer harbored unrealistic illusions that he had fallen into a cave and picked up a secret manual. After that, he became a powerful expert.
Xiao Chen had experienced too many life and death situations since he left Mohe City. In this cruel world, many lives could vanish in the blink of an eye, dying an unnatural death.
Xiao Chen searched the floors carefully. Every time he passed a floor, he would enter a few rooms and search them carefully. He wanted to see if he could find any information that would be useful to him.
Soon, he passed the third floor and arrived at the building on the fourth floor. There were already some rooms on the fourth floor that no one visited.
Xiao Chen heard the sound of fighting. Someone was fighting with the combat puppets or puppet beasts in the rooms.
However, the treasures on the fourth floor were all mundane items. There was nothing that cultivators needed, such as Spirit Stones or Medicinal Pills.
Xiao Chen continued forward and arrived at an entrance to the fifth floor. Because the main palace was built in circles, there were many entrances to each floor.
The door in front of Xiao Chen was only one of them. The door was already open, and there were a few corpses lying below it.
When Xiao Chen walked over and took a look, his expression changed slightly. The group of cultivators that he had met in a hurry earlier were among the corpses.
There were three men and two women, all Superior Grade Martial Kings. Their corpses were in perfect condition.
Of the five corpses, there was only a wound on their necks. Clearly, they had been caught off guard and were killed with a sword.
All the valuables on their bodies had been plundered. Only the humans could kill and steal their treasures. In the end, these people probably didn't expect such an ending.
"Xiu!"
A strand of sword Qi tore through the air and headed for Xiao Chen from behind the door. The sword Qi was very dense and gave off a piercing sonic boom.
Xiao Chen had been vigilant long ago. He swung his saber and destroyed this strand of sword Qi.
Two Superior Grade Martial Kings walked out from behind the door. The scar on their faces was very eye-catching. When they saw Xiao Chen, they laughed hoarsely, "Since when can a Superior Grade Martial Saint join in the fun on Qianren Island? However, you are pretty strong to be able to block my sword."
This person should have comprehended a state. Otherwise, he would not have been able to kill five Martial Kings of the same cultivation realm in an instant. He was a troublesome person.
Furthermore, he had been waiting here for a long time, killing all the cultivators that passed by mercilessly. Clearly, he was a vicious and merciless person. "Dong! Dong!
Dong! "
Soft footsteps came from behind Xiao Chen. The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He glared at Xiao Chen and said, "Consider yourself lucky that my sword scar saw you."
Who is so powerful? Before the person arrived, he managed to scare this person away. Xiao Chen could not help but look back suspiciously.
The footsteps drew closer. Xiao Chen soon saw the appearance of this person. He was stunned. It turned out to be the Bloody Bladesman, Sun Guangquan, one of the ten great bladesmen of the Ancient Desolate Land, ranked tenth.
When Sun Guangquan saw Xiao Chen, he was stunned as well. Then, he smiled and said, "Little Brother, I did not expect to meet you again. Let me give you a suggestion. With your strength, you can try your luck on the fifth floor. If you go any further, it will be dangerous."
"This person is interesting." Xiao Chen watched as Sun Guangquan left. He smiled faintly and said, "Let's go to the fifth floor and take a look first. Hopefully, I can find something good."
The moment Xiao Chen stepped through the door, he immediately heard the sound of fighting. Occasionally, there would be an intense explosion, echoing throughout the fifth floor.
When Xiao Chen looked around, he realized that these sounds came from the rooms of the fifth floor.
Xiao Chen's face lit up in joy. He knew that there were many treasure rooms on the fifth floor that no one had visited before. He quickly found a room with a tightly shut door.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and regained his calm. Then, he ferociously kicked the door to smithereens.
Xiao Chen's body flashed, and he stuck himself to the wall beside the door. When the combat puppet inside heard the commotion, it rushed out with heavy steps. "Boom! Boom!
Boom! "
When the combat puppet stepped out of the door, Xiao Chen suddenly exploded out. The Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand moved like a storm as he hacked at the combat puppet three times.
Xiao Chen used his full power in every attack, not holding back at all. He merged his Essence with his strength; he had more than one hundred thousand kilograms of force.
The first attack chopped off the combat puppet's right hand, which was holding the weapon. The second attack chopped off its left hand. The third attack chopped off the combat puppet's right leg.
The crippled combat puppet immediately fell to the ground; it had completely lost its combat prowess. Xiao Chen had his reasons for doing this. Through his observations in the first few floors,
After observing the first few floors, he discovered that all the combat puppets and puppet beasts would shatter very cleanly in the end, all in small pieces.
At that time, Xiao Chen had guessed that these combat puppets would self-destruct before they died. When he walked in and heard the explosions, he was even more certain of his guess.
Xiao Chen only needed to cripple the combat puppet by breaking its limbs. The might of twenty-odd Medial Grade Spirit Stones self-destructing was horrifying just thinking about it.
Xiao Chen was not willing to take the risk. He ignored the struggling combat puppet on the ground and headed straight for the treasure room.
