Chapter 363 Peerless Treasure
With the help of Li Moyun, it did not take long for the entire group of carcasses to be split apart, and all of it was placed within the Primal Chaos Dimension.
By the time everything had been cleaned up, the children also awoke from their meditation. Although they did not all have regained all their energy, the majority had returned, and they were already suitable to continue forward.
The underground tunnel was getting wider and wider the further they went, but they were still unable to use any spiritual sense to observe their surroundings and were fully dependent on their vision and hearing.
"I wonder how long we have walked by now." Bai Rouyun could not help but look around as she spoke out. Since their spiritual sense was blocked, none of them knew where they were or even how far below the surface of the ground they were.
"We should arrive soon." Li Moyun was also blocked by the strange blockade, but he had an intuition that they should reach the center of these tunnels soon. His nerves became more and more taut, which usually only happened when entering a tense or dangerous scenario, so he dared not slack on his vigilance.
Bai Rouyun could also sense the increasing pressure, and her muscles were taut as she kept observing their surroundings.
Unlike before, no living creatures seemed to approach them, but the tunnels showed signs of living creatures having been moving around before, as various trails were left behind on the ground, alongside various traces of living beings.
"There is something in front." Xiao Bao suddenly stopped in his tracks and sniffed the air surrounding him. "There is a strange clean but pure scent of spiritual energy in the air; much more pure than the energy within the rest of the Wushi Continent."
As soon as Xiao Bao spoke, Xiao Jin also began inhaling the air around her, trying to see if she, too, could sense this special scent.
"Yes." Xiao Jins eyes lit up. "There is something special in the air around here. The energy within is pure and clean. It is hard to explain it, but it is as if there is absolutely no impurities within these small traces of energy, which should be near impossible to encounter."
Bai Rouyun could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. Although she had been curious abut the strange tunnels, she had not expected to encounter a treasure that could make her cute spirit children eager to find.
Although they were said to be her children, she knew that the two of them had lived for countless of years, and that they had seen more treasures than she had within her life. Even the treasures from the Divine Realm were not uncommon for them, but the item in front seemed to rouse a certain longing within their eyes.
"Do you remember what your father mentioned before we left the city?" Li Moyun looked in front; his eyes were filled with complex emotions. If he was not wrong, he thought that the treasure behind the block might be the Lotus of the Nine Heavens.
"Do you think that it might be it?" Bai Rouyun's eyes widened as she understood what Li Moyun was hinting towards. Although she did not mention the specific treasure, she already knew what Li Moyun was referring to.
However, when they spoke with Yan Wenxiu, they had understood that the current Wushi Continent was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Many experts had descended from the Divine Realm to look for this particular treasure, and while it would be priceless to possess, it would also cause great danger and trouble to their family.
"I think it might be it." Li Moyun looked at the smooth tunnel walls as he spoke. "The blockade of these tunnels are not ordinary. They not only block our senses, but also whatever is hidden within the center.
"If the treasure is within the Wushi Continent, then it has to rely on some sort of blockade to protect itself, or it would have been noticed long ago. The current barrier around us is fulfilling all the requirements that such a blockade needs.
"Also, this area has not been found by anyone else so far, and no one has found any traces of the treasure yet, however, if it is really this particular flower, then we might be facing calamity instead of fortune."
Although Li Moyun was capable of moving around in the Divine Realm and could be considered one of the talents, he was still far away from being one of the top powerhouses.
If they really encountered the Lotus of the Nine Heavens, it would be a great mystery whether or not they would be able to protect it and keep it for themselves.
"We still have the Primal Chaos Dimension." Xiao Bao could hear the implicit words in Li Moyuns sentence, but he did not feel worried in the same way.
"If it is to enter the Primal Chaos Dimension, then it will be cut off from the outside world, and it will no longer tempt others. As long as no one gets told that we have it in our possession, no one will know about it, and no one will be able to sense it at all."
"You seem to quite want this flower?" Bai Rouyun looked at the young boy who was trying to assure them that even if it was a hot potato in the hands of most, they would be able to handle it just fine.
"It is a peerless treasure, and it is a great supplement for both Xiao Jin and myself. As long as it is placed within the Primal Chaos Dimension, the next two floors of the pagoda will be opened right away."
