Chapter 211: Chapter 208: Stone Chamber Corpse 1
Translator: 549690339
Upon entering the secret realm, a whole new world unfolded.
Inside the secret realm, it was completely different from the outside world. The astonishing density of spiritual energy and the spiritual flowers and strange grasses that could be seen everywhere were alluring.
This was also the reason why Jin Cheng only brought a few people with him.
Bringing too many people would inevitably lead to some of the guards becoming greedy. Even if they didn’t kill anyone for the treasures, hiding some in secret would still go unnoticed. So Jin Cheng only brought a few trusted subordinates with him. As for whether they hid anything for themselves, he didn’t care.
As for Yang Chen, without him, all the treasures in the secret realm might have been completely taken away when Jin Cheng entered.
Of course, Jin Cheng was now all the more ruthless, laughing loudly, “Take all the treasures that catch your eye. Leave the ones you don’t like for Huang Chiyang and Sun Zhenghao to think about!”
“Hahaha, Young Master is right, let them have some consolation, so they can’t say we didn’t leave them anything to enjoy!”
In an instant, the guards scattered, searching for treasures in all directions.
It didn’t take long for visible treasures to be plundered by them.
You guys…” He Liancheng couldn’t help but laugh, “If Huang Chiyang and Sun
Zhenghao came in here, they would probably want to fight us to the death.”
Jin Cheng waved his hand, “So what if they want to fight to the death, are we afraid of them?”
Yang Chen had also joined the guards in searching for treasures earlier, but these treasures were still a notch below what he had found in Monster Beast Mountain. So he wasn’t too excited and didn’t collect much before stopping.
Jin Cheng spoke slowly, “There is still more to this cave, let’s keep searching!” For a moment, everyone moved forward.
However. before they cot halfway. Yang Chen and the others st0DDed in their tracks.
Yang Chen and Jin Cheng couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Because halfway through the cave, there were suddenly nine branching paths in front of them!
No one knew where these branching paths led, which made Jin Cheng quite troubled.
With nine paths and only eight people, he should have brought an extra person along if he had known.
After much thought, Jin Cheng could only say, “Each of us will choose a path and explore it. Once we have results, we will return and report. As for the secret realm, no one knows how it was formed or what lies at the end of these paths, so everyone should be careful.”
“Alright!”
“Yes, Young Master!”
The guards all stood up.
Yang Chen bowed to Jin Cheng and said, “Brother Jin, I choose this path.”
“No problem!” Jin Cheng’s eyes flashed, and he chose another path.
The two quickly went their separate ways.
Yang Chen arrived alone at the fourth fork, walking along the empty road in silence, using his divine sense to communicate, “Caihong, why did you tell me to choose this path just now?”
“Young Master, the spiritual energy fluctuations coming from this path are much denser compared to the other paths!” Caihong took a deep breath, “This kind of concentration is like the difference between heaven and earth. It’s too extreme!”
“No, with such a big difference, Jin Cheng and Commander He shouldn’t have been unable to detect it.” Yang Chen couldn’t help but say.
Caihong shook her head, “It’s different. This kind of difference comes from deep within; it is hard to tell unless one has astonishing divine soul power.
Even I didn’t notice it at first, it was an elder from our tribe who told me. Otherwise, with my current Divine Soul Realm, I wouldn’t be able to perceive it.”
“Oh?” This surprised Yang Chen.
Caihong’s Divine Soul Realm was already comparable to that of an Origin Martial Realm old monster, and yet even she couldn’t detect these fluctuations?
If she hadn’t been able to observe it from the beginning, it would have been difficult to find this concentrated spiritual energy fluctuation.
However, he was curious about the Divine Soul Realm of the elders of the Mermaid Tribe. He had always known that Caihong’s divine soul realm was not the strongest among the Mermaid Tribe. But how powerful were these elder-level mermaids’ Divine Soul Realms was somewhat beyond his conjecture.
Soon, Yang Chen stopped thinking and cautiously moved forward. While moving like this for half a double-hour, Yang Chen finally took a step.
“Such concentrated spiritual energy! Caihong, you were right. Just by coming here, I can already feel the difference in the concentration of the spiritual energy. If I were to cultivate here for a day and a half, refining all the spiritual energy here, I would be completely able to break through to the Fourth Level of Spirit Martial Realm. It’s just a matter of how many days this spiritual energy can support my cultivation.” Yang Chen began to ponder with his hands behind his back.
After talking to Caihong, he walked for another cup of tea’s time.
When a cup of tea’s time had passed, Yang Chen suddenly felt his vision clear up.
Immediately after, a stone chamber emitting bright light appeared before him. “Stone chamber?” Yang Chen squinted his eyes, extremely cautious.
“Stone chamber?” Yang Chen squinted his eyes, extremely cautious.
He roughly surveyed the room,
“Huh?”
Yang Chen suddenly got a shock, only to see an old figure sitting cross-legged in the stone chamber, eyes wide open and face pale. Seeing him in such a quiet, deserted environment was quite a shock.
“Dead body?” Yang Chen quickly came to a conclusion.
This old man turned out to be a corpse, a dead person.
This made Yang Chen furrow his eyebrows, not knowing the cause and effect. However, upon careful observation, Yang Chen could see the true reason for the rich spiritual energy in this place – it was due to this corpse.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but mumble to himself, “This old man must have been an incredible powerhouse in his lifetime. Otherwise, his genuine Qi wouldn’t have leaked out in his death, making the surrounding spiritual energy so rich. However, for such a powerhouse to choose to sit here, it seems like the secret realm wasn’t naturally formed, but created by this old man.”
Yang Chen didn’t rush to look for treasures in the secret chamber, but first bowed to the old man, “I, Yang Chen, stumbled upon this place by accident. I hope you won’t mind if I cause any offense.”
With these words uttered, Yang Chen only then looked around the chamber, but soon he was disappointed.
Because, apart from the body in this secret chamber, it was empty.
Nothing at all.
That made Yang Chen laugh bitterly, feeling somewhat dumbfounded.
“It seems that this old man only chose a place to sit and dissipate, and his rich genuine Qi caused the spiritual plants in the cave to mutate and grow into heavenly materials and earthly treasures. In fact, this old man didn’t leave any explicit treasures for future generations.” Yang Chen shook his head; this kind of eccentric behavior was not unheard of in such hermits.
However, before long, he denied the idea as his divine soul power examined the situation and found something he had been longing for right in the middle of the old man’s body.
So the treasure was actually hidden inside the old man’s body..
