NOVPUBChapter 902: Chapter 481: Location of the Treasure Vault_2 Chapter 902: Chapter 481: Location of the Treasure Vault_2 Lin Tianming also paused and said, “Indeed, very good!”
“Though the Golden Sword Mountain Gate covers a large area, all of us are Golden Core Cultivators with a considerable range of Divine Sense. If we search carefully, I believe we will eventually find some clues.”
“Lin is right. With our strength, we could just turn the entire Golden Sword Mountain Gate upside down if necessary. We are bound to find it!”
Chen Maohua echoed with an excited look on his face, clearly impatient to start.
Hearing these words, Zhou Yunxiao smiled faintly and then assigned positions to the other three.
Lin Tianming was responsible for searching the west side, covering about a hundred miles, which was mostly dense forest.
As for the others, they each chose a direction with varying search areas, but the differences were not significant.
...
However, the terrain varied greatly, with plains and lakes alike, presenting a diverse natural landscape.
Nevertheless, they were all determined to meticulously search until they found the treasure in order to obtain this substantial property.
With this confidence, the four, including Lin Tianming, began their search.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Over the past few days, Lin Tianming had thoroughly combed through the entire western hundred-mile area as if sweeping a carpet.
Despite the strength of his Divine Sense, assisted by the Eye of Five Colors, and despite such a careful search, he still hadn’t found the Golden Sword Sect Treasury―he had only encountered three questionable locations.
At this moment, Lin Tianming was standing at the entrance of a gorge.
He stood still, staring at the lush interior and the very dense fog, pondering deeply.
At first glance, there was nothing unusual about this place since such environments were not rare in the hundred-mile forest.
But on closer inspection, especially under the scrutiny of the Eye of Five Colors, he could sense a faint trace of color within the fog.
This color resembled that which sunlight might cast.
Most cultivators, upon seeing such a scene, might believe it was merely the play of light refracted by the sun.
Besides, the area was a primeval forest with the occasional appearance of First Order Spirit Beasts, presenting nothing more than the typical scenery of wild forests.
Such an environment was not special at all and certainly not where one would expect to find a Sect Treasury.
However, as Lin Tianming was about to leave after standing there for a long time, he sensed a subtle change and the faint fluctuations of a spatial restriction formation.
Though the fluctuations were weak, he had indeed sensed them!
“Hmm?”
Lin Tianming turned back in doubt, and with a flash of light from the Eye of Five Colors, the scene before him changed once again.
He saw streams of grey-white light flowing through the fog.
In just the span of a breath, the grey-white vanished, and the fog returned to normal.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming furrowed his brow and then revealed a faint smile.
He was almost certain that there was a cave dwelling or a formation here.
The grey-white color he had seen was probably due to the energy flow of the restriction.
Although it was brief and not easily noticed,
Most people would likely overlook it and leave the area.
But he had been searching for a long time, and with the assistance of the Eye of Five Colors, all illusions and fluctuation of formations in this world could hardly escape his careful observation.
It had to be said that the terrain here was very ordinary, so ordinary that anyone who saw it would not suspect anything.
Besides, the formation behind it was also very ingeniously designed.
It is worth noting that the long-term operation of a formation also requires energy.
Even the most advanced formations need energy flow to maintain them over time.
The clever part of this formation was that its energy flow was not only in perfect harmony with the local fog, concealing the fluctuations and color of the energy within the fog.
Besides, the speed of the energy flow was extremely fast, completing in just an instant.
Subsequently, everything returned to normal, as if nothing had changed.
Although Lin Tianming was not an Array Master and knew little about formations, he was aware that such rapidly fluctuating energy formations were rare in the Cultivation World.
Regardless, no matter how clever the formation was, under the search by his Eye of Five Colors, it could not remain hidden.
Based on these circumstances, he was nearly certain that this place was the location of the Golden Sword Sect Treasury.
This conjecture had almost ninety percent confidence.
Now that the Treasure Vault had been found, Lin Tianming had no intention of concealing it, especially since Zhou Yunxiao and the others were no fools.
With their cultivation realm, they were constantly watching every single movement inside the Golden Sword Mountain Gate.
Even if he tried to hide it, given their determination to achieve their goals at all costs, it would only be a matter of time before they discovered the truth.
Besides, even if he tried to break the enchantments and explore alone, he would not be able to evade the scrutiny of Zhou Yunxiao and his companions.
Their cultivation was powerful, and their Divine Sense was not the slightest bit weaker than his own.
Although they were spread out from one another, any attempt to break a Formation would naturally cause some disturbance.
Within a hundred miles, even the slightest disturbance would be detected by them.
In light of this, why should Lin Tianming bother with such petty tricks, only to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and disrupt the delicate balance?
Knowing this, Lin Tianming didn’t delay and immediately sent several messages to inform them of the situation he had at hand.
Less than a quarter of an hour later,
Zhou Yunxiao and others arrived together at the entrance of the canyon.
From a distance, Lu Xingfeng’s voice could be heard carrying a tone of excitement.
“Lin, are you confident that this is the Golden Sword Sect Treasury?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Maohua also chimed in.
“Yeah… This place seems sparse and ordinary with no outstanding features!”
Hearing this, Zhou Yunxiao also looked thoughtfully into the mist, not saying much.
Lin Tianming didn’t plan on beating around the bush and right away recounted the changes within the mist in front of everyone.
Soon, after learning of these specific changes, Zhou Yunxiao nodded in acknowledgment. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
“Heh… If it’s really as Lin says, the Treasure Vault is most likely here!”
Zhou Yunxiao said with a smile, his eyes filled with excitement.
“Hmm… Whether it is or not, we’ll know once we explore!”
Lu Xingfeng nodded and, with that, a Sword Qi appeared in his hand and he fired it towards the interior of the canyon.
“Boom…”
A loud sound echoed as the Sword Qi collided with an invisible barrier, generating a wave of air that spread in all directions.
In an instant, the fog that was originally there began to dissipate under the impact of the massive wave, revealing a greyish-white screen of light.
Seeing this, Lu Xingfeng and the others were overjoyed, confirming that this indeed was the Golden Sword Sect Treasury.
“Haha… We’ve finally found it!”
Lu Xingfeng laughed excitedly and then added with a wry smile,
“That Han Hu really is a cunning fox, hiding the Treasure Vault in such a seemingly ordinary place.”
Hearing these words, Zhou Yunxiao replied with a laugh, “Heh… It’s not surprising!”
“How important the Treasury is, everyone present surely knows.”
“It’s common knowledge in the Cultivation World!”
“The terrain here is indeed ordinary, but as long as the enchantment and Formation are sufficiently mysterious, it truly is a good place to hide a Treasure Vault.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Maohua couldn’t help but express his admiration.
“The more unexpected, perhaps the better the effect!”
“Heh heh… But even so, it still got discovered by Lin!”
Chen Maohua said flatteringly, obviously wishing to remain on good terms with the Lin Family.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming politely replied, pleasing Chen Maohua.
At that moment, Lu Xingfeng took over the conversation, thereby bringing up the matter at hand.
“Fellow cultivators, now that we have found the Treasury, we should not delay. Shall we proceed to break the Formation as soon as possible?”
“Good…”
Zhou Yunxiao nodded, and Chen Maohua, also quite excited, agreed, their emotions reaching a peak.
