The Strongest Urban Son-in-law
Chapter 1645 - 1673: The Mysterious Elder [4th Update]
Immortal Yue Qing eagerly approached Ye Feng, looking at him and asking, "Ye Feng, is this the treasure vault?"
Ye Feng nodded, gazing at the glazed light transmitting through the grand formation, he replied, "It seems there are plenty of good things in this treasure vault." After hearing Ye Feng’s words, everyone’s anticipation grew.
Immortal Yue Qing asked, "How about it, Ye Feng? Are you confident you can break this grand formation?"
Ye Feng faintly nodded, "This formation is a sixth-level Dao formation, and because the formation is already broken, it’s considered sixth-level Dao. If it were at its peak, it would be a Holy-level formation."
"Holy-level formation!" Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, everyone’s eyelids twitched suddenly, and their hearts were filled with shock and excitement.
They understood well what a Holy-level formation meant, indicating how precious the treasures inside must be.
Immortal Yue Qing excitedly said, "Ye Feng, quickly break the formation!"
Ye Feng nodded, then sat cross-legged in front of the formation, carefully observing the defense formation. Soon, a stick of incense time passed, and Ye Feng began to make his move. His fingers gathered True Essence, flickering with Spirit Light.
Streams of light flowed continuously, and soon, formation runes were continuously inscribed by Ye Feng.
The formation runes kept imprinting onto the formation barrier, time swiftly passed, and soon another stick of incense time had passed. At this moment, the grand formation began trembling rapidly, followed by the appearance of cracks.
"Crash~~~" A loud noise erupted, and immediately, the formation barrier shattered, subsequently collapsing down.
In just a stick of incense time, Ye Feng effortlessly broke a sixth-level Dao formation, and as the formation crumbled, Ba Heng and Bo Yu almost simultaneously rushed into the treasure vault.
"Not good!" Seeing Ba Heng and Bo Yu urgently rushing inside, Immortal Yue Qing’s expression changed dramatically; the treasure vault surely contained many valuable items. Entering earlier meant obtaining them sooner.
Ye Feng, on the other hand, leisurely stood up, and upon witnessing this, Wang Can anxiously said, "Ye Feng, aren’t you going quickly? If they go in, they’ll get all the good stuff first."
But Ye Feng appeared relaxed and carefree: "No rush, if it’s meant to be mine, it will be mine..."
Then, Ye Feng and Wang Can slowly walked into the treasure vault, which consisted of three layers.
As soon as they entered the first layer, they were stunned, and everyone’s face showed a pained expression.
Because the first layer was entirely filled with Diaoist Crystals! Lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, and supreme Diaoist Crystals, piled densely like mountains, everywhere. If exchanged for supreme Diaoist Crystals, it would probably amount to billions!
Billions of supreme Diaoist Crystals, equivalent to hundreds of billions of lower-grade Diaoist Crystals, yet they were in anguish because those crystals had nearly all lost their Spiritual Energy, becoming waste, with not a trace of Spiritual Energy left.
Normally, if preserved with a Spirit Gathering Array, the Diaoist Crystals could maintain their Spiritual Energy from dissipating, or if unextracted in a vein, also maintain energy. But once mined, the Spiritual Energy dissipates with time, and these Diaoist Crystals have existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years.
Over hundreds of thousands of years, the Spirit Gathering Array preserving them broke, unable to sustain the Diaoist Crystals’ energy, leading to their depletion, naturally becoming waste. Hence the hearts were pained, even Ye Feng showed a pained expression.
Billions of supreme Diaoist Crystals, if used for Ye Feng’s cultivation, could elevate him to the peak of the Dao Realm!
"Such a pity..." Ye Feng shook his head helplessly, then headed to the second layer. In no time, they reached the second layer, which was much smaller than the first, but was filled with Dao Artifacts, Holy Artifacts, and a variety of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Unfortunately, most had lost their Spiritual Energy.
Some Dao Artifacts were damaged, yet the Holy Artifacts were in excellent condition, as they remained strong despite thousands of years without care. However, each item had prohibitions. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Without the key to the prohibitions, obtaining those Holy Artifacts was impossible, so Ye Feng and his companions continued forward.
Before long, they reached the third layer of the treasure vault. Upon entering, Ye Feng saw Bo Yu, Immortal Yue Qing, and Ba Heng standing there, motionless, their foreheads covered in sweat.
Their eyes showed seriousness, as if facing a great threat.
Ye Feng then noticed, at the center of the third layer, a messy-haired, ragged elder.
The elder’s hair was disheveled, almost hiding his face; they couldn’t sense his presence at all.
Though he was right before them, they couldn’t feel him, as if he belonged to another dimension. Ye Feng slowly approached Immortal Yue Qing and the other two.
Immortal Yue Qing couldn’t help but swallow, looking at Ye Feng and asking, "Ye Feng, do you think he’s alive or dead?"
Ye Feng looked at the elder, sitting fixedly on the ground, seemingly merged with heaven, earth, and space, without any detectable aura from him. Ye Feng scrutinized closely but did not answer.
But at this moment, the elder suddenly moved!
The elder slowly raised his head, opening his eyes, and in an instant, they felt a terrifying pressure like a tsunami flooding the cosmic void, pressing down on them unbearably.
The immense pressure made even moving difficult, and breathing became challenging.
Only Ye Feng remained unfazed, as Ba Heng, Bo Yu, and Immortal Yue Qing’s foreheads were drenched with sweat, falling like raindrops. The elder’s opened eyes, his jet-black pupils, seemed like horrific black holes, threatening to pull their life and soul within, and a sense of fatal danger surged within them!
