Ye Xiao heard a voice when he was looking here and there so that he can find what is wrong with the parchment. He hurriedly retreated to a side and hid inside a bush.
Then he heard footsteps and finally saw two people walking cautiously.
"Members of the Ma Family!"
Ye Xiao saw their clothes and immediately recognized them as a member of the Ma Family.
"Since they are here, it means the location on the parchment is correct. Now, I just need to follow them silently." Ye Xiao thought in his heart and came out from the bush when the two people walked to some distance.
"Big brother, who do you think that treasure will belong to, our Ma family or one of the other two families?" While walking, one of the two men asked a question.
Hearing him, the other person answered in a low voice, "That I don't know. We need to hurry, we are already late."
"Yes, big brother."
Ye Xiao quietly followed them from some distance and he made sure not to make any type of noise that can arouse the suspicion of the two people.
They followed the river and soon arrived in front of a mountain that stood tall beside the river.
When they arrived here, they stopped.
Ye Xiao hurriedly retreated back and hide behind a tree.
Those two people looked around themselves. After confirming that no one followed them, they walked to their left side.
"Sizzle! Sizzle!"
Ye Xiao, who was hiding behind a tree, heard a very strange noise. He peeked and saw that both members of the Ma Family were trying to push a big round stone. And the strange noise was coming from there.
"Sizzle! Sizzle!"
A moment's later, they successfully pushed the big round stone to a side. When the big round stone was pushed aside, a dark tunnel appeared in front of everyone.
Both members of the Ma Family entered the tunnel and the moment they entered, a strange scene occurred.
The big round stone shifted by itself and once again appeared where the tunnel was and closed the mouth of the tunnel.
"What?"
Ye Xiao was surprised to see this scene.
He immediately came out from behind the tree and arrived in front of the big round stone. He looked at the big round stone carefully but was unable to find anything.
"How can this stone came shifted itself and closed the mouth of that dark tunnel on its own?" Ye Xiao thought but was unable to solve this puzzle but suddenly one word appeared in his mind.
Formations!
Yes, this big round stone can move on its own only because of formations. There definitely is an array or formation laid here by a certain formation master.
The moment Ye Xiao thinks of formations, he once again remembered one more important thing.
Now that he was already an Origin Core Realm martial artist, he was now qualified to merge with the memories of the Ancient Formation God.
If Ye Xiao wants to merge with the memories of the ancient gods, he needed to have a certain amount of strength.
He merged with memories of the Ancient Pill God when he broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm.
If he wanted to merge with the memories of the Ancient Formation God, he needed to have the strength of an Origin Core Realm Martial artist, and to merge with the memories of the Ancient God of Weapon Refinement, he needed to have the strength of a Martial King Realm martial artist.
He is already a martial artist at the Origin Core Realm so, he can now merge with the memories of the Ancient Formation God.
"Phu! It came at the correct time!" Ye Xiao thought and wanted to enter into the Heavenly Pearl but then to his disappointment, he suddenly remembered one more thing.
He was restricted to enter the Heavenly Pearl for one month.
"Damn! Damn! Damn!"
Ye Xiao shouted three times and every time, his voice was louder than before.
"Looks like I can only try to push this big round stone to the side if I want to enter into the tunnel." Ye Xiao muttered in a low voice with a disappointed tone. He looked at the big round stone and smiled bitterly.
Ye Xiao felt frustrated when he thought about the parchment.
"These three big families are really very careful." When he thought of the parchment, he could not help but praise the cunning mind of the three big families. They made a map but did not make the location clear.
From this alone, Ye Xiao understood what their way of thinking is. Even if someone was able to get the parchment, he or she will never be able to reach the true place where the treasure was about to born.
He put both of his hands on the big round started pushing the big round stone just like the other two members of the Ma Family but the big round stone did not even move from its place.
"Dragon's Claws!"
Time was already very short so Ye Xiao did not try to waste his time and directly transformed both of his hands into the Dragon's Claws then he once again put both of his claws on the big round stone and pushed it.
"Sizzle! Sizzle!"
This time the big round stone moved from its place and soon the same tunnel appeared before Ye Xiao's eyes once again.
After pushing aside the big round stone, Ye Xiao immediately entered the tunnel without wasting any time.
Just after five breaths of time, the big round stone once again moved on its own and arrived in front of the mouth of the dark tunnel, closing it.
Ye Xiao was walking in the dark tunnel one step at a time.
This tunnel was so dark that Ye Xiao was unable to see what was in front of him.
Unable to see clearly in the dark tunnel, Ye Xiao raised his hand in front of him, and with a 'woosh' sound, a violet coloured fire lit up.
The dark tunnel immediately lights up. Now Ye Xiao walked while looking ahead carefully.
Not long after that, he saw a small ball of light flashing in front of him. He walked and walked and the small ball of light became bigger and bigger.
Very quickly, Ye Xiao arrived at the exit of the tunnel and what appeared in front of him was a wide field filled with grasses, small and big plants.
"What the hell?"
Ye Xiao was shocked to see this. He took a step forward and landed on this land.
"BOOM!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Ye Xiao heard the sound of fighting.
"BOOM!"
"Bang!"
"Ahhh!"
"Damn! I'll kill you."
"BOOM!"
"Come at me!"
"Bang!"
"Ahhh!"
Hearing the sound of fighting, Ye Xiao curiously walked in that direction. When he arrived at the place from where the sound of fighting was coming, he was surprised to see dozens of people fighting among themselves.
They were fighting and killing each other. They killed one and after killing one they will go for another person to kill him.
"Is the treasure already born?"
Ye Xiao could not think of any other reason why these people were fighting among themselves. He recognized them from the clothes they wore. These people belong to the three great families, the Zhang Family, the Ma Family, and the Wang Family.
"Where is the treasure?" Ye Xiao thought and started looking at his surroundings so that he can see where the treasure was.
"BOOM!"
...
"BOOM!"
"Bang!"
"BOOM!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly a very loud explosion sounded and following that a series of explosions rang out.
Ye Xiao looked straight and saw that in some distance, six people were fighting among themselves and with each collision of their attacks, a large part of land and mountain was being destroyed.
The shock wave, that spread with the collision of their attacks alone was enough to kill an ordinary martial weaker than Fifth Grade of the Origin Core Realm.
It was fortunate that Ye Xiao was no ordinary martial artist otherwise he would have been dead by now.
These six people were exactly those people whom Ye Xiao saw previously in the forest of the Hundred Mountain Range. They were six Martial Emperor Realm Experts, belonging to the three great families.
"Looks like the treasure that was about to born have already been born. I am late and missed it otherwise I would have seen with my own eyes the process of a treasure being born." Ye Xiao shook his head in disappointment.
"Since these people are fighting with each other, it means that the treasure is still not obtained by any of them. I think the treasure should be near where these six Martial Emperor Realm martial artists are fighting."
Ye Xiao guessed and started walking that way while trying his best not to be discovered by any of the members of the three great families.
