The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 1040: Breaking the Treasure Vault's Barrier

Chapter 1040: Breaking the Treasure Vault’s Barrier

When Jian Xin and the others reached the edge of the square, they couldn’t help but turn around to watch. 

They were curious to see how far Su Jingzhen could go in opening the treasure vault, something they had spent days studying but still hadn’t fully unlocked.

“Although it was surprising that he managed to break through the barriers we set up earlier, those were just casual formations. 

The array seals on the Divine Shepherd Sect’s treasure vault are far more powerful and numerous. 

If he can break through them using the same methods, wouldn’t that make our efforts over the past few days a joke?”

“Exactly. While I acknowledge his combat prowess for defeating the giant battle formation we created with the help of that Chaos Celestial Serpent, I still think that his current attempt is just setting himself up for humiliation.”

Many of the Sword Land disciples, barely holding themselves together, turned to look at Su Jingzhen with sneers on their faces.

It was as if they were already anticipating his failure.

However, Jian Xin remained silent. After this defeat, he had gained a lot of insight. At the very least, he would no longer underestimate Su Jingzhen.

“There is always a higher mountain and a stronger person. This guy is truly the ultimate genius of this era. I doubt this treasure vault can stop him.”

Jian Xin muttered to himself. 

Once he acknowledged the gap between himself and Su Jingzhen, much of the pressure in his heart dissipated, leaving him feeling lighter.

As for the Divine Dan Sect disciples behind Su Jingzhen, there was no trace of worry in their eyes, only boundless excitement. 

Having followed Su Jingzhen this far and witnessed the countless miracles he had performed, they didn’t believe that a mere treasure vault could stand in his way.

Su Jingzhen’s expression was grave. 

The Devouring Force and the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame spread across the arrays on the treasure vault, burning and expanding. 

The first layer of the barrier twisted violently under the dual effects of these two advanced powers and was quickly dismantled.

The scene left the Sword Land disciples stunned.

“The first layer… just like that?”

“Isn’t that a bit too easy? Although we had figured out how to break the first layer, we hadn’t had a chance to try it yet. Su Jingzhen is simply too ridiculous. What exactly are those two powers of his?”

After recovering from their shock, the Sword Land disciples exchanged glances, their eyes eventually settling on Jian Xin as if hoping that he could provide some answers.

However, Jian Xin shook his head with a bitter smile. 

“Why are you asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? 

All I can say is that there are many capable people in this world. 

Just because you can’t do something doesn’t mean others can’t. It’s time to let go of your contempt for the cultivation world. After this Divine Shepherd Sect event, the dynamics between the Cultivation World and the Emperor’s Realm will undergo a massive change. 

Mark my words, many of the so-called ‘elite’ forces in the Emperor Realm will soon fall from their pedestals.”

Upon hearing Jian Xin’s words, the Sword Land disciples fell silent, their expressions turning grave. 

Those who had followed Jian Xin to the Divine Shepherd Realm for training naturally looked up to him as their leader.

The Sword Land disciples weren’t the only ones who fell silent. The other Emperor Realm forces scattered around the square also wore similar expressions.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Su Jingzhen continued to draw power from Su Tuntun and the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. 

The second layer of the treasure vault’s barrier was also burned away.

Su Jingzhen’s face paled slightly. 

Obviously, breaking through two barriers in such a short time had taken its toll on him. 

Moreover, he had already exerted himself twice earlier, forcibly using True Immortal Realm-level power, which had pushed his body to its limits.

Seeing this, Shengana didn’t hesitate. 

She waved her staff, and a brilliant healing light enveloped Su Jingzhen. 

After the previous battle, Shengana and Su Jingzhen had developed a tactic understanding.

Su Jingzhen glanced back at her, with a gentle smile on his face.

As expected, Shengana triggered three more Emotional Connection boosts.

With Shengana’s support, Su Jingzhen gathered his strength and directly invoked the power of the world. 

In one fell swoop, he broke through three more layers of the treasure vault’s barriers.

The entire treasure vault began to emit waves of radiant light, as if heavenly hymns were being sung. 

The place in front of the vault shook, and a multicolored auspicious light filled the air.

Everyone who saw this scene was filled with awe. Meanwhile, the elders in the distance looked on with envy.

They knew that such phenomena appearing around the Divine Shepherd Sect’s treasure vault meant that it was about to open, or that Su Jingzhen had already gained its recognition.

“We should have taken the treasure vault with us when we destroyed the Divine Shepherd Sect. Bringing it back to the Emperor Realm and dividing its contents would have been better. Now, it’s a pity.”

“Indeed, the Divine Shepherd Sect was a superpower in the cultivation world, comparable to many forces in the Emperor’s Realm. The accumulation of treasures for countless years is enough to make anyone envious.”

The elders from various forces in the Emperor Realm spoke with a mixture of envy and helplessness. 

While they had been indifferent when the treasure vault was still unclaimed, now that it was about to be opened, they couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret.

Bound by the rules of this event and the heavenly palace floating in the void, these elders could only sigh. None of them dared to directly intervene.

Su Jingzhen’s expression was also filled with excitement. After breaking through the five layers, only the last barrier remained. 

Multicolored light swirled around it, accompanied by a rich aura of the Great Dao.

Sensing the energy fluctuations from the final barrier, Su Jingzhen recalled the Devouring Power and the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame. 

Instead, he took out the black brick and pressed it against the barrier.

In the next moment, under the astonished and bewildered gazes of the crowd, the black brick emitted a brilliant dark light. 

The dense Great Dao rhythms and holy power within the final barrier were completely absorbed by the brick.

Of course, this was Little Green’s doing from within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. 

Having fused with the Ancient Tree of the Star River, its form had reached a state of perfection. However, it still welcomed any opportunity to absorb more Great Dao energy. This was a win-win situation.

Almost instantly, the last barrier that should have been the most difficult to break was shattered. 

The treasure vault was now completely defenseless, like a maiden stripped bare, waiting for Su Jingzhen to do as he pleased.
