Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension - Chapter 752: 446: A Treasure That Shocks the World_2

Chapter 752: Chapter 446: A Treasure That Shocks the World_2

However, amidst the pile of waste still lay hidden treasures. Zhao Sheng found three intact Rare Treasures and one Ancient Treasure from the third Treasure Pit.

Then, to his delight, he unearthed two more unknown wonders and a Yellow Ring from the last pit.

In the key second Treasure Pit, there were as many as twenty-five types of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, most of which were materials from the bodies of powerful Exotic Beasts, such as a pair of Space Wings from a Sky Splitting Dragon, the throat bone of a Demon Stingray King, a White Jade spine over twenty meters long, and so on.

Besides exotic beast materials, there were also nine Mid-Upper Grade Magical Treasures, all of which Zhao Sheng pocketed.

Yama and the other three watched enviously as one unattainable Treasure after another was taken away, their eyes red with jealousy, practically spewing fire, their hearts overturning like the rolling river, seething with envy, wishing they could immediately kill that damned thief and take his place.

However, they could only watch helplessly, not even mustering the courage to make a move.

“Alas, what a pity!”

Zhao Sheng sighed, carelessly tossing aside one Jade Scroll after another. At his feet, the Jade Scrolls had piled up into a small mountain half a person tall.

Too much time had passed, and the majority of the psychic fluctuations within the Jade Scrolls had been eroded away by the Devil Fungus, and the information they contained had nearly all been lost.

While searching through the Jade Scrolls, Zhao Sheng casually ordered, “Collect the Spirit Stones on the ground, and by the way, Xian Kong, since you’ve been summoned here by Mr. Ou, this task is yours to handle.”

“Rest assured, my lord, I’ll be back soon!” Xian Kong promptly responded before soaring into the sky and disappearing into the earth and stones of the dome in a flash.

Yama, Thunder Roc, and He Tai exchanged glances and quietly scattered in different directions to start picking up the Spirit Stones on the ground.

At this moment, the floor of the entire Earth Cave was thickly layered with Spirit Stones.

Some Spirit Stones were unusually large—half a person tall, or even as tall as a person was not uncommon, and they contained vast amounts of pure Spiritual Energy. At first glance, they appeared to be all High Grade Top-grade Spirit Stones.

It is particularly worth mentioning that within each of the large Top-grade Spirit Stones, with a diameter exceeding one foot, there was a core of Spirit Crystal that rivaled the Top-grade Spirit Stone in quality.

The larger the volume of the Spirit Stone, the larger the Top-grade Spirit Crystal at its core.

The more Yama and the others collected, the more shocked and envious they became.

This was an astoundingly sensational Treasure that was unheard of!

Recalling all they had seen and heard in their lives, they could not think of any other treasure that could compare to this one, apart from those in myths and legends.

It could be said that the total value of this Devil Fungus Treasure could drive a Divinity Transformation True Monarch mad with desire, and it could even purchase an entire large Cultivation power.

Even if it couldn’t make a purchase, using it to hire assassins would be enough to annihilate any top Cultivation power.

“This… this… fuck!”

Daoist Ou Feng had just descended into the cave and caught sight of the mountain of Spirit Stones, immediately losing his composure as he let out an involuntary curse.

Xian Kong Ancestor, who came along with him, was even more overwhelmed, staring in astonishment, drooling at the corners of his mouth.

That would be the reaction of anyone!

Who in the past and present had ever seen a Spirit Stone Peak a hundred meters tall, weighing over ten thousand kilos, especially one composed of Top-grade Spirit Stones on average?

Not to mention, next to the Spirit Stone Mountain stood another pile, two meters tall and covering an expanse of three meters, exuding the vast and mighty Spiritual Pressure of a spiritual crystal mountain akin to a vast ocean.

“I thought… I thought… I never imagined… I’m totally outclassed here!”

Daoist Ou Feng rushed next to Zhao Sheng, looking at the two Spirit Stone Peaks before him, his words a jumbled mess of excitement.

“Haha, even Mr. Ou has been shocked, huh? Unfortunately, as good as these Spirit Stones in front are, besides the few of us, anyone else who takes and uses them is doomed without a doubt!” Zhao Sheng laughed heartily, his expression indifferent, as if he did not place much importance on the Spirit Stone Mountains before him.

As an Array Master, Daoist Ou Feng was naturally exceedingly intelligent.

Upon hearing these words, he instantly had a revelation and hastily said, “Could it be that these Spirit Stones contain… Devil Fungus spores!”

Zhao Sheng praised, “Exactly! Conversing with an intelligent person truly saves effort. Mr. Ou is quick to catch on!”

The Xian Kong Ancestor heard this, his eyes whirling as he ingratiatingly laughed and said, “My lord, since it is so, why not let your subordinates share some of the burden? If our cultivation levels are raised, we will surely serve you even better in the future.”

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Sheng cracked a slight smile and said, “Other than the top-grade spiritual crystals, I’ll give you two zhang of the Spirit Stone Mountain, and each of the Yamas can have one zhang. Remember, the zhang I speak of refers to height and not volume!”

Overjoyed upon hearing this, Xian Kong quickly bowed deeply in thanks: “Thank you for your generous reward, my lord! I shall definitely brave any danger and never falter in my loyalty to you.”

Seeing this, Yama, the Thunder Roc, and He Tai had no choice but to bow down as well and chime in unison, “Thank you for your generous reward, my lord!”

A moment later, Zhao Sheng collected the excess Space Storage Seals from the five individuals before just managing to gather up the two Spirit Stone Mountains.

At this time, Daoist Ou Feng walked up to him and handed over a gray pouch.

After taking it, Zhao Sheng’s Divine Thought entered and saw that it was a Storage Bag that was rarely seen between the two worlds.

Inside the Storage Bag was a crystal ball large as a human skull, clear and translucent. Within the center grew a tiny Crystal Silk tree about an inch tall, emitting very distinct spiritual fluctuations.

“This little thing was trying to sneak away, but it was caught right in the act by the thousand-ring formation.”

Listening to Ou Feng’s explanation, Zhao Sheng suddenly realized that the Void Devil Fungus wasn’t so single-minded after all; it could be quite “cunning” when faced with the threat of death.

Too bad that no matter how “cunning” it was, it couldn’t outsmart the renowned Human Clan.

“Mr. Ou, come with me!”

Zhao Sheng pocketed the Storage Bag and then led Daoist Ou Feng to the front of the Cross-border Transmission Array.

Th𝐢𝖘 𝘤h𝑎p𝑡𝗲r 𝗂𝗌 p𝘰𝗌𝖙𝓮𝗱 b𝙮 Ḱɪṯҽṉ𝖔𝓋ɛ𝑙

Looking at the severely damaged Cross-border Array, Daoist Ou Feng felt a pang of heartfelt pain.

“Mr. Ou, in your opinion, is there any possibility to repair this great array?” Zhao Sheng said, pointing to the collapsed White Jade Pillars and asking very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Ou Feng quickly shook his head without hesitation and said, “It can’t be done. At least with my capabilities, it’s completely impossible to fix this formation. Even mending one percent is out of the question.”

Zhao Sheng nodded upon hearing this.

He hadn’t held too much hope in the first place. After all, the knowledge of Array Dao required for a Cross-border Teleportation Array was far beyond the standards of the Constant Sand World. At a minimum, a Formation Master from the Spirit Realm would be needed to set up such a high-level array.

Zhao Sheng had observed the Ascension Array several times and felt that the grade of the Ascension Array should be slightly higher than that of the Cross-border Teleportation Array, but the difference between the two wasn’t too vast.

“Mr. Ou, take a closer look. Does this array not bear an extreme resemblance to that Cross-border Array on Bright Star?”

After observing for a while, Daoist Ou Feng’s eyes lit up with delight as he nodded repeatedly and excitedly exclaimed, “The positions of the jade discs and pillars, as well as the layout and directions of the array patterns, and the space-time fluctuations… These two arrays are more than ninety percent similar, with only a few key nodes being entirely different.”

What Daoist Ou Feng said did not exceed Zhao Sheng’s expectations.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng immediately followed up with a question, “Then… In Mr. Ou’s view, with the reference of this array and combining our efforts, would we be able to repair the other Transmission Array?”

“Well…” Daoist Ou Feng was stumped by the question.

He observed the remnants of the array in front of him with his Divine Thought while pondering to himself.

After a moment of consideration, he suddenly looked at Zhao Sheng and said uncertainly, “There’s hope for repair, but the success rate won’t exceed twenty percent. After all, the Cross-border Teleportation Array far exceeds our level of Array Dao. Even if we were to attempt repairs, we could only trace the existing framework; it’s essentially like groping in the dark!”

Zhao Sheng, far from being disappointed, actually agreed and said, “I understand your concerns, Mr. Ou. We could probably only attempt to repair the array pillars in front of us, but we have no way to deal with the core Array Base located in the Void Realm.”

For super-level arrays like the Cross-border Teleportation Array and the Ascension Array, the array foundations in the current world are just the tip of the iceberg. Their most core Array Bases had long been set up in the Void Realm.

It could be said that, no matter how many times the array foundations in the current world are destroyed, as long as the Array Base in the Void Realm remains intact,

Any Formation Master from the Spirit Realm could come and easily repair the array, making it operational once again.

But for Zhao Sheng and Daoist Ou Feng, merely repairing the surface array was already as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

Luckily, the Transmission Array located underground on Bright Star was almost entirely intact, maintaining the possibility of repair.
