Chapter 554: Treasure in the Abyss
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There definitely had to be something happening for so many people to be gathered near the abyss. There had to be something there attracting them.
“Just find someone to ask,” Mo Wen suggested. If they were to guess blindly, it would make more sense to ask directly. If so many people were gathered, it should not be some sort of secret.
While speaking, Mo Wen scanned his surroundings. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He actually saw some familiar people. Moreover, they had arrived so quickly.
“I’ll go meet a few of my friends.” Upon saying that, Mo Wen disappeared in a flash.
At the place where his gaze had stopped previously stood a few people. There were four old men and one middle-aged man. Amongst them, there was one dressed in a grey robe and his aura was especially strong. Even the lady in blue that they had met in the passageway could not compare.
Mo Wen was so shocked because that person was none other than Intentionless Sect’s Sect Leader, Chen Wuhui. He had not expected that the people of Intentionless Sect would also join in. Moreover, they had even been ahead of him.
Actually, not long after Mo Wen had left Qingzhen District, Chen Wuhui led a gang of masters from Intentionless Sect in heading out. When they had arrived at Cropped Top Mountain, they were not far away from Mo Wen. However, Mo Wen had wandered around Cropped Top Mountain. He had also been delayed for a few other reasons. Hence, he entered the Beast Lair after Chen Wuhui and his group.
Chen Wuhui had led his group of elders into Tan Zi Beast Lair with the motive of lending Mo Wen some help. After arriving at Cropped Top Mountain, he thought that Mo Wen had already entered the Beast Lair. Hence, he dashed in immediately.
However, most of the people from Intentionless Sect had been unable to find Mo Wen. Instead, they found out a huge secret. It had something to do with a rumored treasure within the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. This discovery had immediately attracted a whole group of people. Hence, the people who received news of it all rushed over to the abyss.
“Old Grandfather Chen, why have you all come?” Mo Wen stepped lightly and walked over to them casually. There was a gentle smile on his mouth and it was a fresh sight in comparison to the solemn expressions of most.
“Mo Wen!” The moment Chen Wuhui set eyes on Mo Wen, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. His goal had been to look for Mo Wen and now he had finally set eyes on him. Moreover, they had been reunited at a crucial time.
He was very clear of Mo Wen’s ability. Mo Wen alone was even more important than two ancient martial art practitioners of the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm.
“This time, we initially came to help you obtain the spiritual fire. However, it is a pity that the spiritual fire is not as simple as we thought it would be. It is far above our means.”
Chen Wuhui sighed. Intentionless Sect had come with the motive of helping Mo Wen obtain the spiritual fire. However, after finding out the details about the situation with the spiritual fire, he could only give up on that thought. The spiritual fire was not that simple. It was so powerful that it was not something people of their level could handle. Moreover, the people who had come for the spiritual fire were not simple either. He may not know some of the mysterious people. However, their names alone were enough to scare him.
Currently, the spiritual fire had already escaped into the seventh layer. That layer was extremely dangerous. Never mind obtaining the spiritual fire, even making it out of there alive would not be easy. Hence, he had also completely given up on that thought. As for Mo Wen, he did not worry too much. After all, he was no longer a kid. He should be able to judge the dangers and not be so foolish as to head to the seventh layer.
“Taming the spiritual fire is not easy indeed.” Mo Wen nodded his head. In reality, he had never once thought that Intentionless Sect would have the ability to help him. Hence, he decided to go on this journey alone. Normal methods would definitely not work on taming the spiritual fire. Even if he used all his might, he was not very confident in being able to tame it.
“Don’t be too disappointed. Even though you are not fated to have the spiritual fire, there is a very shocking treasure hidden in this abyss. Perhaps it would be of some use to you.”
Chen Wuhui’s eyes sparkled. Subconsciously, his gaze moved over to look down into the abyss. A determined look flashed uncontrollably in his eyes. If they were able to obtain that treasure, they would be able to raise Intentionless Sect by a whole level within a few years. Even if they were unable to surpass major sects like the Purple Qi Pavilion and Five Beasts Sect, they would definitely improve on their previous position. It was even possible that they would be able to surpass Sacred Flame Sect.
“What treasure?” An interested look flashed through Mo Wen’s eyes. However, he was not surprised.
“600 years ago, a master left behind this treasure in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. It is said that the person belonged to an ancient martial art sect back in those days, but managed to become immortal. Initially, he could succeed instantly and widen his horizons. However, a huge accident happened afterward and a disaster descended upon the sect that the master belonged to. In a night, the entire sect was destroyed and the injuries of the master were untreatable. He was then on the brink of death. Afterward, that sect disappeared completely and was entirely wiped out from the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.”
“What has that got to do with the treasure?” Mo Wen asked uncomprehendingly.
“That sect back then was the first sect of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. It was called Luofeng Sect. When Luofeng Sect was at its strongest, it essentially controlled the whole of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. The foundation of such a sect is beyond scary. Back then, after Luofeng Sect had been destroyed, the sect leader who had been heavily injured brought a few remaining people with him and hid all the wealth of Luofeng Sect. Then, they disappeared completely.”
“Nobody in Green Ancient Mystery Dimension knew where those treasures were hidden. For an entire period of time, a huge number of ancient martial art practitioners from Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had searched the whole of the dimension. Even after digging everywhere, they were unable to find the treasures of Luofeng Sect. The rumors regarding the treasures then became a myth as well.”
Chen Wuhui paused for a moment. His expression was complicated as he looked down into the abyss. Then, he continued, “About 200 years ago, news got out that the treasures of Luofeng Sect were hidden in Tan Zi Beast Lair. Nobody knew who had spread the news. However, there were people who headed over to Tan Zi Beast Lair in search of the treasures. Yet, they did not manage to find any. Many of the strong ancient martial art practitioners have died in Tan Zi Beast Lair because of their search for the treasures.”
“You mean, this treasure is really in Tan Zi Beast Lair. Moreover, it is in this abyss.” Now Mo Wen understood what Chen Wuhui meant. He had not expected that this thing would actually be related to the myth of the treasure from 600 years ago.
“That’s right, now, it is basically confirmed that this treasure is in the abyss.” Chen Wuhui nodded his head resolutely. It was as if he was not even suspicious of that fact.
“How did you find out about this?” Mo Wen asked pensively.
Chen Wuhui furrowed his brows and said, “I am not very sure how this news got out as well. However, I am certain that it is true. If not, it would not attract so many people over.”
“Do you know of the Green Primordial Mirror?” Chen Wuhui looked at Mo Wen.
“I haven’t heard of it.” Mo Wen shook his head. However, he could guess that it was a treasure of the immortals.
“The Green Primordial Mirror is a top grade spiritual weapon. Back in those years, it was a treasure that the master brought along with him everywhere. There are not more than ten top grade spiritual weapons rumored to be in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, and not more than five with locations already ascertained.”
A burning look flashed in Chen Wuhui’s eyes. If he was able to obtain the Green Primordial Mirror, the power of Intentionless Sect would definitely be raised by a whole level. If Intentionless Sect had possessed the Green Primordial Mirror before, Sacred Flame Sect would definitely have not dared to attack Intentionless Sect.
“What has the abyss got to do with the Green Primordial Mirror?” Mo Wen asked in surprise. Could it be that the legendary Green Primordial Mirror was located within this abyss?
He was very clear of the power of a top grade spiritual weapon. It was enough to help a beginning stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner easily handle an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner.
