At the entrance of the First Level, an Escape Formation is inscribed, serving as the final barrier to prevent the Unparalleled Demon from escaping the Demon Suppression Tower. It also prevents outsiders from entering the next level.
On the side of the stone coffin, there is surprisingly a large hole, shrouded in darkness, making it unclear what lies within the coffin.
"Could someone have already gone ahead and entered the next level?"
Chu Feng was extremely alarmed and, disregarding the danger, took two Flame Burst Pills and holding the Flame Sword, approached the hole in the coffin.
Holding the sword, the Abnormal Fire blazed at the tip of the sword, instantly illuminating the interior.
Covered with thick dust, all that remained was a row of plum blossom-like footprints, with drops of blood still on the floor.
Looking at these footprints, they are clearly fresh, with some deep and some light. Comparing their sizes, Chu Feng immediately confirms that the reason why the Cat Demon suddenly disappeared was because it had crawled through this hole into the coffin.
At the head of the coffin, there is a vertical hole leading downwards.
The Cat Demon’s tracks are not visible inside the coffin; it must have already escaped through that broken hole to the next level.
The First Level of the Demon Suppression Tower originally only harbored Demon Bats, creatures of that level. The Cat Demon that ambushed Chu Feng must have run up from the Second Level.
"I must be the first person to enter the First Level of the Demon Suppression Tower in a million years!"
"It’s just unknown whether this broken hole was the doing of ordinary demons or if it was the Unparalleled Demon suppressed at the bottom of the tower that destroyed the coffin."
Based on various traces inside the coffin, Chu Feng can infer that no one else has entered here earlier than him.
"Since every coffin contains a Treasure Sword, and this coffin is so immense and is located in the First Level of the Demon Suppression Tower, I ought to be the first to claim a treasure."
Influenced by the immense potential gain, Chu Feng, being skilled and brave, directly entered the huge coffin.
At the bottom of the coffin, Magic Suppression Talismans are carved.
However, they are all exploded, destroyed.
Scattered on the ground are fragments of a Treasure Sword, whose material is unknown, but certainly, it must have been an exceptional sword.
Regrettably, it has been destroyed.
"There are so many fragments of the Treasure Sword, there must have been more than one sword!"
Chu Feng examined the fragments of the Treasure Sword on the ground, which were plentiful and of varying colors.
"It seems there were a total of four Treasure Swords!"
After estimating the number of swords, Chu Feng felt regret but was also particularly surprised.
Because ordinary coffins typically contain at most two Treasure Swords. But this coffin contained a total of four swords, which is extremely unusual.
"Eh, why is there a mechanical rotation disc at the bottom of this coffin?"
While Chu Feng was examining the fragments of the Treasure Sword on the ground, he discovered a device resembling a mechanical control panel at the center position in the coffin.
It is integrated with the bottom of the coffin.
If not observed carefully, one might think it was just some runes carved at the bottom of the coffin.
After clearing away the dust, fragments of the Treasure Sword, and other debris, its true appearance was revealed. Not to mention anything else, just the color was significantly different from that of the coffin.
The Array Plate is square-shaped and is apricot-yellow in color.
While the Stone Coffin is of a mottled brown color.
Chu Feng has some understanding of mechanisms. Although he is not particularly skilled, he still has some knowledge.
After careful study, he quickly concluded that this square array plate was not for controlling mechanisms, as there were no buttons on it.
"Master, it seems that people are coming in from outside! It’s several Respected Elders from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect and an Elder from the Rashamon Sect, and they are bringing some elite disciples." The Poison Eye Dragon King also crawled into the coffin, followed by Han Dong.
Following Chu Feng’s command, Poison Eye Dragon King provided certain protection to Han Dong.
"No need to panic, we still have time!" Chu Feng appeared very calm.
After entering the Demon Suppression Tower, through various signs, he deduced that the unparalleled demon suppressed there definitely wasn’t dead. Moreover, it likely regained some strength, and the demon suppression system within the entire Sword Tomb had nearly been destroyed by it.
To enter the deepest level and seize the Supreme Treasure Sword, both opportunities and strength are extremely important.
If Chu Feng rushed in alone, he would likely end up as cannon fodder.
It would be better to wait for many Sword Saint Level Elders to enter and then follow them to take advantage of the chaos and act accordingly.
"This, this is a Sword Formation Diagram!" Poison Eye Dragon King, looking down at the array plate Chu Feng was studying, couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.
In his previous life, Chu Feng was engrossed in the study of Alchemy Dao and rarely touched upon Sword Dao knowledge, knowing very little and even less in detail. Hearing the three words ’Sword Formation Diagram’, his eyes lit up, and he slapped his head saying, "Right, how did I not realize this is a Sword Formation Diagram?"
Four Treasure Swords buried together in one coffin definitely meant that they formed a sword array.
Although he didn’t know what Sword Array it was, it was used to suppress the unparalleled demon and had been set up jointly by many powerhouses from Ancient Times. It must be nothing ordinary.
"Although the Treasure Swords have been destroyed, this Sword Formation Diagram is a valuable item. As long as I gather four swords in the future, I can re-establish the Sword Array and unleash its rightful mighty power."
Upon this realization, Chu Feng was not about to be polite and crudely used the Crimson Flame Sword to shave off some of the stone coffin’s base surrounding the embedded Sword Formation Diagram.
Then, he directly lifted out the entire Sword Formation Diagram.
It was quite substantial in weight, weighing at least two hundred kilograms.
Luckily, Chu Feng had the cultivation of an Advanced Sword Master and possessed nine Fake Sword Veins, so carrying it, he could still move freely.
It was about half a meter in edge length, a relatively standard square shape.
The back was engraved with a few conspicuous small characters, written in the oldest small seal celestial script of Taoism. Most people might not recognize it, but Chu Feng, having studied many ancient elixir recipes and books in old texts, had put in serious effort.
Especially in understanding several ancient runes of Taoism, he was very proficient.
Because Alchemy Dao originally stemmed from Taoism.
Basically, most ancient elixir recipes transmitted from Ancient Times were masterpieces of Taoist ancestors. To understand those elixir recipes, one must first recognize the ancient texts on them.
Furthermore, due to the passage of time, the names of the medicinal materials listed might differ from modern times or might even be extinct.
To concoct according to the elixir recipe, one must understand what those medicinal materials are and their medicinal properties to find substitutes for them.
This process might sound simple, but the actual concoction involved many difficulties.
"Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation Diagram!"
Chu Feng read the words on the back of the Sword Formation Diagram accurately.
Oh my, isn’t this too high level?
In Ancient Times, the Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation Map of the Tongtian Sect Master dominated the Three Realms and could even slay Saints.
Even if this is just a scaled-down version of the Small Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation Diagram, it’s still incredibly awesome.
Chu Feng grinned from ear to ear, having stumbled upon a treasure.
And it was a heavy-weighted precious treasure.
