Chen Guan and five others set off towards the southwest.
About three hours later, they arrived above a lake.
The lake water was a deep blue.
The lake surface was calm, like a bright mirror.
Chen Guan was the first to descend to the lake surface, and with a splash, he plunged into the water.
The others followed immediately.
Ling Chen did the same.
He dove down about a hundred feet underwater.
In the previously dark space, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared.
Ling Chen was somewhat surprised.
Before entering the lake, he had probed with Divine Soul Telekinesis.
He didn’t discover anything.
Even during the dive, nothing was found.
It wasn’t until reaching this spot that the light gate suddenly revealed itself.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Chen Guan cautioned, holding a Jade Key in his hand.
Injecting Spiritual Power, a dazzling green light erupted.
Enveloping the six of them.
Chen Guan first darted towards the light gate.
Under the green light, the six passed through the light gate and vanished from that place.
The six looked around.
For a while, nothing was discovered.
"Just as that senior said, there’s no treasure here."
Based on past experience, the treasure lands left by the Void Emperor always included trials.
Only by passing the tests could one enter the real treasure land.
"Young Master Ling, please use your Divine Soul Telekinesis to probe around."
Chen Guan looked at Ling Chen.
In terms of perception, Spiritual Power Practitioners are greatly inferior to Divine Thought Masters.
This was why they invited Ling Chen.
Ling Chen nodded gently.
Then, a beam of ethereal Divine Soul Telekinesis shot from his forehead, carefully probing the hall’s surroundings.
Chen Guan and the others stood quietly in place.
A quarter of an hour later.
Ling Chen finally found something.
"Mr. Chen, over here!"
Ling Chen pointed into the air, directing a beam of Spiritual Power.
Upon hearing this, a gleam of joy flashed in Chen Guan’s eyes.
He then injected Spiritual Power into the Jade Key, and a green light illuminated the direction of Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power.
The entire hall quaked.
Then, a black passage appeared in their sight.
Chen Guan dashed towards the passage.
The others, not to be outdone, hurried towards the black passage.
Soon, they arrived in another large hall.
This hall, too, was spacious.
Unlike the previous one, this was not empty.
Different colored light orbs floated in the air.
There were more than twenty.
"They’re Emperor Spirit Weapons!"
Chen Guan and the others were extremely excited.
Through the light orbs, the treasures inside could be seen.
They were evidently weapons.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Chen Guan’s group of five immediately rushed towards a light orb each.
Although they couldn’t be used at the moment, they could be exchanged for cultivation resources.
To stage an impact on the Emperor Realm.
The Mystic Sword within Ling Chen’s inner world could barely contain its excitement.
However, Ling Chen forcibly suppressed it.
If discovered that the Mystic Sword could devour Emperor Spirit Weapons, it might attract others’ covetousness.
Ling Chen also rushed towards a light orb.
As soon as he touched the light orb, it burst open, and the weapon inside reverted to its normal form.
Then, it flew off in the distance.
However, the hall’s boundaries were limited.
Though the Emperor Spirit Weapons resisted fiercely, they were eventually subdued by the group.
In total, twenty-two Emperor Spirit Weapons.
Ling Chen obtained four.
He tossed three of them to the Mystic Sword.
Intentionally keeping one Emperor Spirit Longsword.
The Mystic Sword was extremely delighted, devouring all three Emperor Spirit Weapons in an hour.
Ling Chen was almost in tears.
Three Emperor Spirit Weapons could exchange for so many cultivation resources!
Yet now, they were gone without a trace.
"The Mystic Sword should now rival a top-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon, right?"
Ling Chen thought to himself.
Previously, after devouring two Emperor Spirit Weapons, it nearly reached the top-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon level.
Now, after consuming three more, it shouldn’t be any less than the finest top-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapons.
However, with Chen Guan and the others around, Ling Chen couldn’t test it.
"Young Master Ling, aren’t you glad you came with us? Otherwise, when would you get four Emperor Spirit Weapons?"
"Yeah, indeed! Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Guan said, "Young Master Ling, no need to be polite. Getting the Emperor Spirit Weapons is partly your credit. Keep probing and see if there are other passages."
Chen Guan seemed rather generous, showing no hostility despite Ling Chen getting four Emperor Spirit Weapons.
Of course, there’s a possibility he’s hiding his true intentions.
However, Ling Chen remained vigilant. Read full story at NoveIꜰire.net
Since arriving with Chen Guan, he had activated the eighth level of the Undying Star Body.
Even if Chen Guan tried something, Ling Chen had the power to protect himself.
Next, Ling Chen mobilized Divine Soul Telekinesis to probe again.
After half an hour passed.
Only then did Ling Chen discover a passage.
Chen Guan used the Jade Key to open the passage.
The six of them entered once more.
However, not long after entering the passage, seven paths appeared ahead.
"Which one do we take?"
Qin Shuo looked at Chen Guan.
Qin Shuo was also a Ten-Star Sovereign.
Chen Guan then looked at Ling Chen, "Young Master Ling, please probe to see if there’s any difference between these seven paths?"
He again mobilized Divine Soul Telekinesis, aiming at the seven paths.
However, as soon as the Divine Soul Telekinesis entered, it vanished.
As if it was swallowed by something.
"Divine Soul Telekinesis can’t probe."
After staring at the seven paths for a moment, Chen Guan finally said, "I choose the middle path. You can follow me or choose your own path. Young Master Ling, you should come with me!"
He had invited Ling Chen precisely because of his role as a Divine Thought Master.
As long as Ling Chen was with him, he could play the most crucial role in the subsequent treasure hunt.
Moreover, with the Jade Key in his hand, only the two of them working together could open the next gate.
"Then we’ll follow you, too!"
He realized that staying with Ling Chen and Chen Guan was the only way to find the ultimate treasure.
Emperor Spirit Weapons, though precious,
were of no use to them at the moment.
In the Void Secret Realm, the most valuable things were not weapons or spirit arts.
It was the legacy of the Void Emperor.
Previously, some geniuses had obtained the Void Emperor’s legacy.
For instance, cultivation levels skyrocketed to the ninth level of the World Realm.
For instance, comprehension of the Dao leaped several grades in an instant.
For instance, acquiring an Emperor Secret Technique.
The Emperor Secret Technique differs from ordinary Emperor Spirit Techniques.
Emperor Spirit Techniques can only be cultivated and cast by Emperor Realm powerhouses.
But some Emperor Secret Techniques can be cultivated even by King Realm cultivators.
And their power far surpasses spiritual arts of the same level.
"Okay, in that case, let’s take the middle path!"
Saying that, Chen Guan headed towards the middle path.
However, just as he was about to step in, he suddenly said, "Qin Shuo, you go first."
Suddently faced with extra paths, there could be dangers.
Among the six, Qin Shuo’s strength was second only to his.
