Chapter 3541: Breaking the Forbidden Treasure

According to intelligence, a spatial node in the Medicine Tribe's stronghold, the Myriad Grass Mountain Range, leads to the Tianxie Mountain Range on the Tianxie Continent in the Blue Cloud Realm.

Ye Yuhuan nodded and said, "We successfully breached the Medicine Tribe's stronghold, losing four Mahayana cultivators in the process. The three of us came to support you, while Ancestor Yunfei remained to guard the Myriad Grass Mountain Range. We didn't expect your losses to be so significant."

Ye Yunfei and seven other Mahayana cultivators attacked the Myriad Grass Mountain Range, deploying two Xuantian Treasures. However, their attempt to infiltrate the Myriad Grass Mountain Range failed. The Medicine Tribe's guardian spirit beast, the Golden Fiery Kylin, possessed Fire-Glinting Golden Eyes, which saw through their tracks, and they were blocked outside the formation.

Ye Yunfei and Luo Yushuo each merged with their True Spirit Avatars. With the aid of the two Xuantian Treasures, they finally managed to penetrate the Myriad Grass Mountain Range. After a bloody battle, they lost four Mahayana cultivators, killed six Mahayana cultivators, and the remaining Mahayana cultivators escaped.

Their greatest gain was five bottles of Creation Jade Dew.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, you had two Xuantian Treasures, yet your losses were still so heavy?" Shi Pan asked curiously, his gaze fixed on a burly man in a red shirt.

Luo Yushuo, a mid-stage Mahayana cultivator, hailed from the Luo family, a True Spirit aristocratic family in the Kunlun Realm. He could merge with the Mountain Ape Avatar and wield some of its divine abilities.

"The Medicine Tribe acquired a Xuantian Treasure from the Ling Tribe, which made them difficult to deal with. What was truly troublesome were the Medicine Tribe's guardian spirit beast, the Golden Fiery Kylin, and the Myriad Thunder Soul Annihilation Formation. Two Soul-Destroying Divine Thunders were incorporated into the Myriad Thunder Soul Annihilation Formation, and two fellow Daoists were killed by them," Luo Yushuo said with a solemn expression.

The Golden Fiery Kylin, a descendant of the Fire Kylin, possessed vast divine abilities and proved extremely troublesome. This, combined with the Myriad Thunder Soul Annihilation Grand Formation, explains their significant losses.

High-rank formation masters can imbue special lightning power into formations to harm enemies. This capability, in addition to their formation-laying skill, also depends on the materials used for the formation. It's not something just any eighth-rank formation master can achieve.

Soul-Destroying Divine Thunder specifically targets the soul; even Mahayana cultivators dare not directly withstand it. If severely injured or killed by other lightning powers, having a substitute treasure poses no issue. However, if one is severely injured or killed by Soul-Destroying Divine Thunder, even with a substitute treasure, the damage to the soul is irreparable and requires special spiritual elixirs for healing.

"Soul-Destroying Divine Thunder! The Golden Fiery Kylin!" Shi Pan's face showed a look of sudden realization.

"You managed to break into the Tianxie Mountain Range so quickly? We thought you hadn't taken it yet!" Luo Yushuo asked, puzzled.

He and Ye Yunfei had only just managed to penetrate the Myriad Grass Mountain Range by merging with their True Spirit Avatars and using two Xuantian Treasures. Yet, Ye Xuanfeng and his group, despite having only one Xuantian Treasure and Ye Xuanfeng having merged with his True Spirit Avatar, had actually broken the formation faster than them.

"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Wang, otherwise we might have perished here," Ye Xuanfeng said with a smile.

The Heavenly Demon Grand Formation was incredibly powerful, easily killing two Mahayana cultivators. Fortunately, Wang Qingshan had a treasure capable of breaking formations; otherwise, they might have been annihilated there.

Luo Yushuo was somewhat surprised. His gaze fell upon Wang Qingshan, and after scrutinizing him carefully, he said with a smile, "So it's Fellow Daoist Wang. I heard Yishan mention you."

Luo Yishan was an old-guard Mahayana cultivator of the Luo family. He had encountered Wang Qingshan in the Heavenly Demon Realm and interceded for him, which was why the White Tiger Tribe had been so quick to help.

"I've long heard of Fellow Daoist Luo's great reputation; today, I finally have the pleasure of meeting you in person," Wang Qingshan replied courteously.

Xuan Qingzi had killed a Mahayana cultivator, but his contribution was still far inferior to Wang Qingshan's.

"Alright, let's first clean up the battlefield," Ye Xuanfeng urged, his voice somewhat weak. "Having paid such a heavy price, I hope there are some good things to be found."

Wang Qingshan performed soul-searching on Chibing's Nascent Soul and quickly located the Xie Tribe's treasury.

They stood at the entrance of a magnificent, golden palace. On the plaque above the door, three large golden characters spelled out 'Xuanxie Palace'. The main gate was tightly shut.

Xuan Qingzi acted, breaking down the main gate. A spacious and brightly lit hall appeared before them. Ye Yuhuan then summoned a Talisman Soldier of the Integration stage and had it scout the hall, finding no anomalies.

Luo Yushuo and the others used their respective methods to investigate but found no abnormalities. As a precaution, Wang Qingshan, Shi Yi, Xuan Qingzi, and Ye Yuhuan entered.

On both the left and right sides of the main hall, there was a stone wall. On the left-hand wall, an exotic beast pattern was carved, emitting a faint spiritual glow.

Wang Qingshan looked at the left-hand wall and said, "This is the entrance, protected by the Grand Marvel Soul-Locking Seal, one of the Ten Ancient Restrictions!"

The Grand Marvel Soul-Locking Seal was one of the Ten Ancient Restrictions. It could only be broken with divine sense; ordinary treasures were useless.

"If we force it open, the contents of the treasury might also be destroyed," Shi Yi analyzed.

The restrictions on a major clan's treasury were no laughing matter; they wouldn't be easy to break.

"Let's try to break the restriction with our divine sense," Xuan Qingzi suggested.

They all activated their divine sense to form projections, attacking the stone wall. The stone wall rippled, and the exotic beast let out a low roar, but the wall remained unharmed.

Seeing this, Shi Yan and Ye Xuanfeng remained outside, while Shi Pan and a few others walked in. They all activated their divine sense to form projections and attacked, striking the stone wall.

The exotic beast on the stone wall's surface let out a loud roar and glowed with dazzling golden light. The stone wall split into two, revealing a vast hall. Inside the side hall were hundreds of tall golden shelves, laden with various materials: pills, spiritual herbs, refining materials, spiritual wood, ores, and more, dazzling the eyes.

Each shelf had restrictions, all vastly different.

Ye Yuhuan controlled two Integration-stage Talisman Soldiers to walk inside, and there were no anomalies. They then walked in themselves and broke the restrictions.

For fairness, Shi Yi summoned a blue cloth bag and collected everything from the shelves, intending to divide them outside later.

Just then, a spiritual light suddenly surged at the hall's entrance, forming a thick golden light curtain with a slowly rotating vortex.

Cracks appeared throughout the hall. When the cracks touched the stone pillars, the pillars shattered into pieces.

Clearly, the Xie Tribe's treasury's contents were not easily obtained.

Shi Pan quickly summoned a handful of yellow-glowing sand particles, which transformed into a dazzling golden great blade, and slashed it onto the golden light curtain, emitting a muffled thud.

Ye Yuhuan summoned the Golden Dragon Wheel, and Shi Yan summoned the Heavenly Cocoon Cauldron, both attacking the golden light curtain.

With a loud bang, the golden light curtain shattered. Wang Qingshan and the others quickly flew out, narrowly escaping disaster.

Had it not been for the two Xuantian Treasures, it's estimated they wouldn't have broken the formation so easily. Had they been delayed any longer, they all would have died there.

Upon reaching an open area, Shi Yi summoned the cloth bag and infused it with a magic incantation. After a sweep of green ethereal light, a large pile of items appeared on the ground: hundreds of high-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures, over a million supreme-grade spirit stones, and a large quantity of refining materials. There were no fragmented Xuantian Treasures.

Wang Qingshan and the others' eyes glowed with fervor; they could finally divide the treasures.

"How about we pick the treasures first, then the materials?" Shi Yan suggested.

Ye Xuanfeng and the others had no objections and agreed.
