Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards
Chapter 487 - 275: Qingyun True Monarch: Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul Is Actually Stronger Than Mine?
After finalizing their plans, Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch each prepared for three days. Then, three days later, they officially set off, leaving the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and heading towards the Chaotic Demon Sea.
Their journey, naturally, was conducted in secrecy, so Cangjian Pavilion and Yin Yang Mansion were unaware of it.
Chaotic Demon Sea.
Dawu Island.
This is an uninhabited island in the southwestern part of the Chaotic Demon Sea. The island is quite large, and below it are some chaotic Low Tier Spirit Veins. However, the Spiritual Qi released is very mixed, and all carry a strange sinister aura.
If a normal cultivator were to absorb these sinister auras, their physical body and mana would immediately encounter problems.
Due to this reason, Dawu Island has been abandoned, and no forces have occupied it.
Additionally, because of the presence of some Low Tier Demon Beasts on the island, mortals are unable to survive here, thus there are no mortals on the island either. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Whoosh whoosh!
On this day, a sound broke through the air above Dawu Island.
Two beams of escape light shot forth, landing on a desolate low hill. As the light dissipated, two figures appeared; they were Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch.
"This place is so desolate, how could there possibly be any opportunities for a Great True Monarch?" After revealing himself, Qingyun True Monarch looked at the desolate scene on Dawu Island and frowned.
"We are currently on the western part of Dawu Island. The treasure map indicates that the treasure location is in the northeastern part of Dawu Island, where there is a mountain range. The treasure is located on the highest peak of that range," Qi Chuan said after glancing at the treasure map he took out.
"Since we’re already here, we might as well take a look. This True Monarch of Yin and Yang is likely deceiving us; I really don’t know what their purpose is?" Qingyun True Monarch sighed.
Qi Chuan also couldn’t figure it out for a moment.
This place has nothing; could it really pose any threat to the two of them?
So at once, they transformed into a beam of escape light again, heading toward the northeastern part of Dawu Island according to the treasure map’s markings.
Soon, they arrived in the northeastern part of Dawu Island, where there was indeed an ordinary mountain range. From a distance, it appeared to have richer vegetation than other parts of Dawu Island, and the Spiritual Qi was denser, but it was still a mixed Low Tier Spirit Vein.
The two investigated this mountain range and quickly found the so-called highest peak in its central area.
This so-called highest peak isn’t very high, only about five hundred zhang.
At first glance, there’s nothing particularly special about it. If anything, the Spiritual Qi in this area is the densest in the entire mountain range.
"Is this all?" Qingyun True Monarch glanced at the highest peak, looking unimpressed.
"The treasure map indicates that the treasure is within this peak. Inside this peak, there is an underground stone cave..." Qi Chuan said after taking another look at the treasure map.
"The more I look at it, the more suspicious it becomes. Let’s not go in yet; let’s thoroughly investigate the outside first," Qingyun True Monarch suggested as he stopped Qi Chuan.
"Of course." Qi Chuan nodded in agreement, having the same thought.
Thus, they meticulously inspected the highest peak from all sides, including the entire mountain range, thoroughly checking it several times.
They even spent several days flying across Dawu Island, examining almost the entire island.
Ultimately, they found no issues, so they returned to the highest peak.
"It seems there’s really no hidden trick. What is the purpose of True Monarch of Yin and Yang? Is it just to waste our time?" Qingyun True Monarch wondered aloud, perplexed as he gazed at this seemingly ordinary peak.
"Who knows?" Qi Chuan shook his head.
"However, since we haven’t found any issues, perhaps we should enter this peak and take a look," Qi Chuan suggested.
Cangjian True Monarch and True Monarch of Yin and Yang are only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm.
Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch are at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Realm as well.
Additionally, Qingyun True Monarch is skilled in Illusion Divine Techniques, making it difficult to fool him with illusionary means.
Qi Chuan didn’t believe Cangjian True Monarch and True Monarch of Yin and Yang had any impressive means of deceiving them utterly.
If those two had such skills, why would they still harbor fear towards Qi Chuan and Qingyun True Monarch?
"Then let’s go in and see," Qingyun True Monarch agreed.
Subsequently, the two approached the highest peak and, following some markings on the treasure map, found a concealed entrance on the northern side of the mountain. They entered and continued through a passage, finally arriving in a vast stone cave.
"This stone cave is suspicious!"
Previously, when Qi Chuan and his companion approached the peak and navigated the narrow passage through the concealed entrance, they were very cautious but found nothing unusual.
However, the moment they entered the stone cave, Qi Chuan immediately sensed something was off and told Qingyun True Monarch.
"There is indeed a problem," Qingyun True Monarch agreed, having also noticed: "Within this stone cave, there is an array—an extremely advanced one. At our current cultivation realms, it is impossible to break it."
The two saw numerous ancient and natural array traces in front of them within the stone cave.
This array, seemingly not man-made, should have existed for a long time.
