Chapter 2557: The Undersea Treasure Vault
"How did you guys find this place?"
Lin Feng looked at the six stone pillars on the seabed that were flickering with blue light and asked Tangyuan and the others. He was really curious. In such a hidden place, how had they discovered it? What interested him even more was that the Teleportation Formation formed by these six pillars had been constructed using a very ancient method. If nothing unexpected had happened, this Formation was very likely to have existed countless years ago.
"Boss, back then we were being chased by a Demon Beast. We killed it right around here, and later I was the one who noticed these six stone pillars." Tangyuan immediately spoke to Lin Feng at this time. This originally wasn’t anything worth mentioning, so even he was surprised by this Formation.
Hearing Tangyuan say this, Lin Feng nodded. If it hadn’t been a complete coincidence, this place really would’ve been impossible to find. After that, he went to inspect the six stone pillars shining with blue light. But what he hadn’t expected was that once he fully figured out this Formation, even he felt awkward.
"Actually, this isn’t a Teleportation Formation at all. We were all wrong."
Lin Feng looked at Tao Tao and the others and spoke with clear embarrassment. He was speechless at such a misjudgment. He hadn’t expected that this wasn’t a Teleportation Formation at all. Although on the surface it looked very much like one, only after investigating did he realize they had indeed been mistaken.
"Not a Teleportation Formation?"
"Then what is it?"
"These six stone pillars don’t look like ordinary things either, right?"
...
At this moment, Tao Tao and the others all voiced their opinions. Even Si Hong was very surprised, because these six stone pillars in front of them looked almost identical to a typical Teleportation Formation. No one had expected it not to be a Teleportation Formation, which only made them more curious what this place actually was if it wasn’t one.
"This is actually an entrance. Only by activating those six stone pillars can we open it."
Lin Feng continued to carefully examine the six pillars, then finally gave his explanation. After speaking, he didn’t waste any time. He released his Seven-Colored Essence Gang, and in an instant shook off all the attached plankton from the blue-glowing pillars, revealing the true appearance of the six stone pillars.
When the true appearance of the six pillars was revealed, Lin Feng and the others were even more surprised. Only now did they clearly see that the six pillars were all made of Jade Stone. At the center of each pillar, a brilliant blue radiance shone out, but none of them knew what kind of Jade Stone this was.
Faced with this, Lin Feng didn’t rush. He just frowned slightly and said to Tao Tao and the others, "Don’t you think it’s strange? Why would something like this appear here, with everything around so bare, and no Demon Beasts guarding it? That’s really weird!"
Everyone nodded in agreement with Lin Feng’s view. At a glance, it was obvious this place had been man-made. Under normal circumstances, creating such an entrance wouldn’t be easy. So why would it appear at the bottom of the sea, and with no protective means at all? All of this seemed to defy common sense!
"Boss Lin, do you think it might be like this: this place was originally under the sea to begin with, so no one would ever come here, and there was no need to conceal anything? Plus, everything down here is Demon Beasts, and they don’t understand Formations or anything, so that person just put the entrance here?"
Ma Biaohu offered his opinion at this time. This was also his own feeling.
When Lin Feng and the others heard Ma Biaohu’s words, they all felt that what he said made sense. This was the seabed—who would think something like this would exist under the sea? So practically no one would come here, and Demon Beasts would never be able to open such an entrance. Looked at this way, it indeed seemed very possible.
"Makes some sense." Lin Feng looked at Ma Biaohu and nodded slightly. He also felt that Ma Biaohu’s reasoning held water.
After saying that, under everyone’s gaze, Lin Feng walked in among the six pillars and began studying how to open them. With Lin Feng’s mastery of Formation knowledge, opening this entrance wouldn’t be too difficult...
Six hours later, Lin Feng had completely figured out the method to open it. He stood alone in the middle of the six pillars, and the Seven-Colored Essence Gang from his body shot respectively into the six stone pillars. What was truly amazing was that as soon as the Seven-Colored Essence Gang entered the pillars, strange glowing symbols began appearing all over their surfaces.
Even more wondrous, the more Yuangang Lin Feng poured in, the more symbols appeared on the pillars, and the brighter they shone, to the point that this section of the seabed was lit up...
But this strange sight only lasted for less than a moment. The six stone pillars suddenly burst forth six beams of blue light, which then gathered above Lin Feng’s head, and in nearly an instant, a blue oval-shaped light membrane appeared!
"It’s open!"
"It’s opened!"
...
When Tao Tao and the others saw the oval light membrane appear, they immediately knew the entrance had been opened and were all extremely excited. They all wanted to know what was inside. Just thinking about it made them excited!
At this moment Lin Feng also withdrew his Yuangang. Just as he had expected, once this oval light membrane appeared, it would not shrink back. The six pillars were the power source sustaining this oval light membrane.
"Let’s go in and take a look."
Pointing at the oval light membrane, Lin Feng said calmly. After speaking, he was the first to enter the oval light membrane. When Tao Tao and the others saw him go in, they all followed him inside...
But after they entered and saw the situation inside, all of them froze in place!
In front of them was a sealed space that wasn’t very large. Countless Luminous Pearl–like glowing objects were embedded around the interior walls, making the entire space clearly visible. At a glance, it covered only a few kilometers in radius, but within this small space were piled heaps upon heaps of all kinds of materials. There were even dozens of enormous racks, and on those racks were all sorts of Dharma Treasures, all kinds of Elixirs, and even various Secret Martial Arts Manuals...
"My god, what is this place? Why do I feel like this is a Sect’s Treasure Vault!"
The first to speak was still Si Hong. She found the scene before her strangely familiar, because Spirit Butterfly Island had a similar place. It was just that the sight before her now made her tremble a bit. With just one glance, she could tell that the things here could even be compared to what Spirit Butterfly Island possessed. What was going on? How could there be such a Treasure Vault beneath the sea?
"A trea... Treasure Vault?"
"My god, how can there be a Treasure Vault here!"
"This Treasure Vault is too terrifying. These things probably aren’t something an ordinary Sect could ever possess..."
...
Tao Tao and the others were also stunned. Just like Si Hong, they had never imagined there would be such a place here. Thinking of what had happened earlier under the sea, they all felt that this Treasure Vault appearing here was simply too unbelievable, to the point they still found it hard to accept.
To be honest, it wasn’t just them. Even Lin Feng was deeply shocked. He had never thought it would be like this here. Originally, he had thought this might be some Secret Realm, but it turned out not to be a Secret Realm at all. It was a real Treasure Vault, and the value of what was inside left even him tongue-tied.
At this point, he didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he swept his gaze around and began to briefly inspect the surroundings. Tao Tao and the others also came back to their senses and followed Lin Feng around the place.
After they made a circuit, they found themselves even more shocked beyond words by what they saw. No one had expected that on the seabed thousands of kilometers away from Spirit Butterfly Island, such a Treasure Vault would appear. This was something probably no one in the world could have imagined.
Once he confirmed there was no danger here, Lin Feng didn’t stand on ceremony. He directly swept all the materials piled on the ground into his Cave Heaven Mansion, leaving only those dozens of enormous racks behind.
When they came over to the racks, they saw that everything on them had been neatly categorized. Some racks stored various Dharma Treasure weapons, others stored all sorts of Elixirs, and still others were filled with many other types of special items. There was even a section specifically for storing Secret Martial Arts Manuals.
As for the other things, Lin Feng wasn’t that interested. He went straight to the area with the Secret Martial Arts Manuals, casually took one down, and wanted to figure out what this place was by reading it.
Genesis Divine Law
Seeing this Cultivation Technique, Lin Feng felt very surprised, because it contained no clues at all. Among the Sects of the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, he had never heard of any Sect cultivating a Cultivation Technique like this. After thinking for a bit, he called Si Hong over, hoping she might know what this Genesis Divine Law was, or if there were any related clues.
The reason he went to Si Hong was because she was from Spirit Butterfly Island, and she definitely knew things they did not. But Lin Feng truly hadn’t expected that when Si Hong saw this Genesis Divine Law, she also wore a completely blank expression. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help, but that she had never heard of this Cultivation Technique either.
"Feng, I really don’t know..." Si Hong replied helplessly. But after she spoke, she felt something wasn’t quite right. So she immediately started circling the racks, and very quickly finished a lap. When she returned, she had two Cultivation Techniques in her hands: Supreme Heavenly Genesis Technique and Nine Spirits Divine Scripture.
Holding these two Cultivation Techniques, she looked at Lin Feng and said very gloomily, "I know the origin and source of these two. Back in the Ancient Era, there was a Sect called the Heaven Origin Divine Sect that was very famous at the time. The most famous things about that Sect were exactly these two Cultivation Techniques. As for the other Cultivation Techniques, I really can’t find any clues."
Si Hong was telling the truth, which made Lin Feng and the others believe her. But the problem was, they all wanted to know whose Sect Treasure Vault this actually was...
