Chapter 496: 154 Easy Snatching Treasure, Yu Long Palace in Disaster (10k Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1
This outpost of the Celestial Immortal Palace’s ruins wasn’t large, located at the centerpiece of the treacherous Illusion Sea Swamp; one of the sparse lands within the swamp was specifically chosen for its hilly terrain for the construction of this site. Su Yu and his team surveyed the area, which was about thirty or forty miles in circumference, dotted with over a hundred small mountains.
Upon these small mountains, traces of the Immortal Palace could be faintly discerned.
The omnipresent spiritual energy of nature, on par with a fourth rank Spirit Vein, filled the surroundings. Contrasting the gloomy darkness enveloping the external Illusion Sea Swamp caused by thick poisonous miasma, the view here was bright, with the scorching sunlight from the dome of the sky evenly spreading over each mountain. Looking upward, a cloudless sky could be seen.
The small hill Su Yu and Taoist Tianyu entered was on the outskirts of the sites and the remnants of the Ancient Formation it contained were not particularly powerful.
However, after Taoist Tianyu and Su Yu re-entered the Illusion Array, Tianyu’s face turned slightly serious as he communicated: “Something about the formation here seems off, no, it’s the location that is odd.”
“This outpost of the Celestial Immortal Palace might have been artificially constructed. The land beneath our feet could be filled land, and these mountains and hills may have been relocated here by human hands.”
“If that’s the case, the aspect of this ruin we should be most wary of is not these remaining formations, but the land under our feet or these mountains.”
“There might be a powerful formation hidden here.”
Seeing the serious expression on Tianyu’s face, Su Yu was slightly taken aback and inquired, “Master, can you not see through it?”
Tianyu pondered before shaking his head and saying, “I haven’t discerned anything yet, but given some time, I might be able to see something.”
“Let’s slow down; for now, let’s stay in the outskirts. I will teach you how to see through these formations and comprehend them.”
Su Yu’s eyes focused and he said, “Alright, Master.”
While within the formations, Su Yu listened to Tianyu explaining the Formation Dao and learned from his observation of and way to break through the grand formation.
On the other hand, his Gold Cicada technique was quietly executed in his mind, his soul transformed into a two-winged golden cicada nestled deep within his mind.
An imposing boundless Soul Power converged, with a brilliant golden light illuminating his entire mind.
At this moment, the golden cicada slowly opened its eyes, releasing a dazzling glare. Simultaneously, Su Yu gained another perspective, as though he could pierce through space and see through everything.
The fourth layer of the Gold Cicada technique granted Su Yu a Divine Skill equivalent to eye magic for his soul’s golden cicada, making him incredibly powerful.
At this moment, his soul glowed brightly within his mind. He saw through the formation and began to look elsewhere in the ruins.
Under this eye magic Divine Skill, formations, space, and other obstacles could not hide anything from Su Yu.
Su Yu multitasked, following along with Tianyu to break the formation on one hand and peering inside the ruins on the other. He secretly thought, “According to Master and True Monarch Six Tails, these ruins of the Celestial Immortal Palace should contain two treasures. One is ‘Celestial Marrow Soul Liquid,’ which refines the body and heals the soul, and can restore Master’s cultivation.”
“Master was once a peak Nascent Soul True Monarch. If we can find Celestial Marrow Soul Liquid, I wonder how much of his cultivation can be restored?”
“The other treasure is Illusion Heart Stone. I’ve seen records of this Formation Dao treasure in the Sacred Scriptures Pavilion’s ancient books. It’s a powerful fifth rank treasure. If I can use the Illusion Heart Stone with the Illusion Array, its power will greatly increase.”
“Everyone from different forces has just entered the ruins. Maybe, I can use the Gold Cicada technique’s eye magic Divine Skill to find some good treasures here first.”
First, he scrutinized the small mountain where they were positioned.
Several ancient caves left behind by the ancients were found on the mountain. There were over thirty small and large formations, half of them were Illusion Arrays, the rest were lethal and trapping formations.
Moreover, there were more than a hundred indigenous illusion beasts on the small mountain.
Some of them had an aura that had already reached the superior third rank, nearing the fourth rank.
‘With Master and True Monarch Six Tails here, these illusion beasts aren’t much of a threat.’ Su Yu carefully scrutinized every part of the small mountain.
He even looked into the mountain.
It was only when his soul felt slightly exhausted that he halted and restored his own soul power.
Half a day later.
Su Yu didn’t find any promising items on their small mountain and consequently shifted his attention deeper into the ruins.
The entire ruins consisted of hundreds of mountains, so he surveyed the location of each mountain and searched for any traces of large formations below the mountains.
Upon examining, Su Yu’s eyelids twitched a few times.
He truly saw several very strong formation bases deep in the roots of the land beneath them, with each mountain acting as the main formation base, forming an unknown large formation.
However, at present, these large formation bases showed no signs of being activated. He didn’t detect any danger.
Bypassing the obstructions of formations and space, Su Yu also saw other forces searching the site.
However, even the Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Nine Immortal Sects weren’t able to discover that someone was observing them secretly.
A few miles away from Su Yu and his team, inside a large Illusion Array under a mountain.
In Su Yu’s mind, the golden cicada’s eye magic pierced through the illusion of the formation and saw eight people gathered, following an Array Master, attempting to exit this Illusion Array.
