Chapter 760 - 536: The Harvest!
Inside the cave dwelling, a long corridor covered in cloud patterns meanders and twists, appearing both real and illusory.
Along the way, restrictions laid down personally by the Ancient Daoist Monarch are present, akin to slumbering ancient beasts that could erupt with world-destroying attacks at the slightest disturbance.
On top of the corridor, two figures tread through the mist, they are the avatars of Chen Sheng and Qin Zhaoyu.
Suddenly, a power condensed to the extreme burst forth from the depths of the mist, transforming into an illustrious immortal light, rushing directly toward Qin Zhaoyu’s avatar.
"Just as expected, nine false, one true!"
Qin Zhaoyu had anticipated this, her expression unchanged, still graceful in posture, she swung her sleeve violently, causing the Illusion Destruction Law to soar and transform into a giant wheel seal, crushing down fiercely.
Buzz~~
With a clear sound, the immortal light dissipated, and the restriction here was broken open along with it.
The mist gradually dispersed, revealing an expansive white jade immortal stair corridor before them.
At the end of the corridor, a transparent shell stood quietly, its silhouette barely discernible, it was Qin Cangwu!
"This is where Qin Cangwu met his demise!"
"He was schemed against here, instantly obliterated by the law’s deadly attack."
The two lifted their gaze, seeing at the corridor’s end, an imposing and magnificent immortal palace faintly visible, it was the location of the outer treasure vault of the Daoist Monarch’s cave dwelling.
Chen Sheng retracted his gaze, his tone softened somewhat:
"Alright, up ahead is the outer treasure vault, let’s go inside and investigate."
Qin Zhaoyu nodded, suddenly remembering something, she chuckled lightly:
"I wonder if that little fellow with the surname Du is still here."
Chen Sheng’s tone was indifferent:
"He should not be."
"As long as they aren’t foolish, they certainly won’t stay here to die."
The two continued on, stepping upon the smooth white jade immortal stairs, approaching the immortal palace ahead step by step.
Within the immortal palace.
Their gaze swept across the surroundings, their hearts already expected—empty!
Even the celestial charm etched on the recessed walls had been mostly erased, evidently, the outer treasure vault had long been thoroughly scavenged.
Chen Sheng shook his head: "The outer treasure vault has already been completely depleted."
Qin Zhaoyu’s phoenix eyes lowered slightly, her tone carrying a trace of regret:
"That Moon Soul Condensation Jade must have fallen into Du Han’s hands, truly a pity."
Chen Sheng shook his head:
"No need for regret, the true treasure is within the deepest core treasure vault of the cave dwelling."
"Follow me closely, no acting rashly, a slight misstep could lead to the avatar’s demise, even affecting the original body."
"Yes, Master!"
The two entered the passage to the core area, emanating lethal pressure, several times stronger than the outer restrictions.
The restrictions along the way are extremely dangerous, each one capable of easily erasing a Dharma Master’s avatar.
...
"Boom——"
A thunderous roar, a vast sea of thunder surged unceasingly, purple lightning like dragons, azure thunder like tides, heaven’s punishment intertwined forming a world-destroying ocean.
Two figures were struggling bitterly amidst the raging thunder, the protective spiritual light around them already torn to shreds.
Yet another purple sky divine thunder traversed the sea of thunder, crashing down, its strong light engulfing everything.
As the rumbling subsided, the sea of thunder continued surging, no trace of human silhouettes left.
Before long, two streams of light swiftly raced in from the passage entrance, precisely the avatars of the two.
Chen Sheng lifted his gaze, scanning the restriction runes around the passage, his tone solemnly stated:
"These restrictions are indeed laid by the Daoist Monarch himself, infinitely mysterious, no rushing, slowly probe, understand each restriction’s patterns, then proceed steadily."
Qin Zhaoyu nodded: "Understood!"
...
The ensuing journey became a lengthy and perilous probing of restrictions.
Chen Sheng continuously sent out avatars, confronting each restriction in the passage, allowing them to be erased without any impatience.
Every time an avatar fell, Chen Sheng would reconvene, meticulously recording the operational details, trigger conditions, and methods for breaking the restrictions derived from the previous probe, embedding them deep within the divine soul, constantly perfecting the solution.
Time flowed slowly, within the cave dwelling there was no day or night, only the intertwining of restriction rumbling and celestial music, two thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two thousand years, Chen Sheng’s avatars fell over a hundred times, he paused in his steps, gazing at the passage’s end where the area faintly radiating splendid immortal light was:
"That’s enough, the operation details, trigger patterns, and breaking methods of these restrictions have been completely grasped by me."
"Even if an ordinary avatar understands the patterns, it is hard to charge through the passage."
"Next, it’s time to get serious, no need for cautious probing, directly charge through these restrictions, straight to the core treasure vault."
Beside him, Qin Zhaoyu eagerly nodded, over the years, she’s repeatedly felt fortunate for initially sharing the cave dwelling’s information with her Master.
Without her Master’s guidance and probing the restrictions, she absolutely wouldn’t have reached here, nor would she have the opportunity to seek treasures.
Moreover, the Daoist Monarch’s methods are too mystical, several times the restriction’s deadly attack used her avatar as a medium, nearly affecting her original body, damaging her foundation.
If she had attempted the passage alone, forget seeking fortunes, she might have self-terminated her Daoist path!
Soon, a dazzling red glow sped forth from the passage entrance, within the red glow, immortal light and the blood sea’s evil qi intertwined, not clashing but complementing each other.
The red glow was extremely fast, continuously breaking through multiple restrictions ahead.
Clang!
Clang!
Sword light whistled!
In the blink of an eye, it tore through all obstructive restrictions as if into an uninhabited zone, without the slightest slowdown.
As the red glow dispersed, the figure of a Daoist gradually appeared, stepping on a red lotus, the red lotus blossomed, transforming into a faint layer of blood light around him, exuding a dominating demon god’s majesty over the world.
