Chapter 2570: Treasure in the Ruins

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Zhang Ruochen asked us to take away the creatures of the Southern Sword Realm. Why didn’t he do it himself?”

Master Ye You pondered as he flew.

“Is he worried that the three forces will take revenge and cannot defend the Southern Sword Realm alone?”

“But, even if the three forces send a large number of elites, they can’t destroy the Southern Sword Realm. Why would they take those creatures into the Exquisite Dimensional Orb?”

“Could it be…”

Master Ye You could only think of one possibility: that the Southern Sword Realm is facing the risk of being destroyed.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped and looked excited, and he said to himself, “Yes, Zhang Ruochen must have something important to do in the Southern Sword Realm. Moreover, this important matter might cause the Southern Sword Realm to suffer a disaster.”

“Why did you stop?” Lord Sinluo urged him on.

“Hehe, let’s go. We’ll go to the city before us and take all the creatures there.”

After saying this, Master Ye You continued flying with Lord Sinluo.

After a while, another Master Ye You appeared from the void and flew back. He planned to secretly follow Zhang Ruochen and the others to see what they were up to.

This was his real body!

What flew away with Lord Sinluo was only a spiritual avatar of his.

The Southern Sword Realm was incredibly vast. Zhang Ruochen and the others flew tens of millions of miles before they flew out of the continent and into the sea. Following Ji Fanxin’s perception, they flew hundreds of millions of miles in the sea and finally arrived at the Ocean of Demon.

Whoosh

The sea wind was freezing cold and piercing like a razor.

Sometimes, the billowing waves could reach 200 to 300 meters high, as if they were going to sweep the sky down.

The stone sword in Zhang Ruochen’s hand trembled even more violently. It shone brightly like a golden torch.

Xue Tu said, “I feel that this sea is incredible. The sea water is as dense as lead and mercury. Therefore, to generate such a high wave, some powerful energy must drive it. Could it be that the Fane of Origin is at the bottom of the sea?”

“This place is strange. The effect on vision and spiritual power is worse than in the Triangular Starfield of Darkness. After entering the sea, follow me closely. Don’t get separated!”

Plop

Zhang Ruochen followed the stone sword’s response and rushed into the sea. He quickly dived to the bottom of the sea.

Moyin turned into the Saint Devourer and hid behind his back.

It became deeper and deeper. He couldn’t even see his fingers in the water.

Whoosh

Zhang Ruochen activated the Armor of the Fire deity and released divine fire, illuminating a vast area of water.

Xue Tu and Ji Fanxin followed closely behind him.

After diving for tens of thousands of meters, they landed on a planet floating while submerged in the water.

This planet was only 700 to 800 kilometers in diameter and had a rocky structure. On the planet’s surface were mountains, valleys, and some ancient ruins.

“What a terrifying water pressure. Even with my Supreme Saint cultivation, I can feel my body being squeezed,” said Xue Tu, using his spiritual power to project a voice.

After saying this, he used his speed to rush toward an ancient ruin to search.

Ji Fanxin sensed something strange and stared at Zhang Ruochen, “This planet used to be filled with Divine Marks and inscriptions of arrays,” he continued. “There is murderous intent everywhere. But that was broken not long ago by someone. Someone came here before us, and that person should be a deity. Could it be a deity of Kunlun?”

Zhang Ruochen knew that he could not hide it from her. He shook his head slightly.

“Then it must be the deity of the Xue Jue Family!”

Ji Fanxin’s eyes were calm, but her tone was displeased, “So, you didn’t go to the Fane of Origin immediately,” she said. “You said you needed to be well-prepared, but that was just an excuse. The real goal was to let the deity of the Xue Jue Family take the treasures in the Fane of Origin first.”

“I didn’t mean to deceive you,” Zhang Ruochen said. “As I’ve always said, finding treasures is secondary in this trip to the Fane of Origin. I have another more important thing to do.”

“Besides, if this really is the Fane of Origin, only a Reverend-level deity can take the entire temple. Other deities can only take a small part of the treasures when they come.”

In fact, Zhang Ruochen did not expect to land on the planet where Lord Ming had come before.

No…

Maybe it was not a coincidence.

When he came to the Southern Sword Realm, the Wordless Sword Manual had sensed him. Lord Ming’s Stellar Sword was closely related to the Wordless Sword Manual. Could it have also perceived him?

Legend had it that the Stellar Sword and the Wordless Sword Manual originated from the Ancestral Swordmaster.

Therefore, by following the sense of the Wordless Sword Manual, there is a chance that he might overlap with Lord Ming’s path.

It didn’t take long for Zhang Ruochen to find the special mark left by Lord Ming on a 30-meter-long boulder in the ruins.

In the distance, Xue Tu laughed wildly as if he had found some incredible treasure.

Zhang Ruochen stood on the boulder and transmitted his voice to him, “There are still many immortal indestructible Divine Marks and inscriptions of arrays on this planet. If you touch them, your soul and body might be destroyed by it.”

Apparently, Xue Tu was scared by that, and he quickly returned.

Zhang Ruochen asked, “You’re so excited. What treasure did you find exactly?”

“Actually… it was nothing.”

Xue Tu wanted to slap himself. Why couldn’t he get over his arrogance? He could have secretly put the treasure away if he had found it. Instead, he had laughed so loudly that it would be strange if Zhang Ruochen didn’t notice him.

Under Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, Xue Tu took out a two-foot-long golden blade and half of a broken alms bowl and placed them on the boulder.

He was nervous and said painfully, “I should share the treasure found in the Fane of Origin with my senior. Senior brother, pick either one of these!”

Zhang Ruochen picked up the golden blade and said in surprise, “It’s a fragment of a Supreme Artifact. Unfortunately, the supreme inscription inside has faded with the endless passing of time. After re-refining it, it could be refined into a powerful Regal Artifact.”

“The patterns inside this alms bowl are very mysterious. It should be an ancient tool nurtured by the deities with divine Qi all year round. Unfortunately, thousands of years have passed, and the divine force has dissipated. Its value is limited.”

Zhang Ruochen found that there were some ancient words carved on the inside of the alms bowl. He used his spiritual power to decode it. It seemed to record a kind of cultivation method of higher knowledge.

The words carved by the deities were not indecipherable.

What was indecipherable were the words that the deities did not want to be deciphered.

Unfortunately, the alms bowl was incomplete, and the cultivation method was also excessively vague. There was no way to cultivate it.

Both items were of high value. They would fetch a high price if they were up for auction. However, with Zhang Ruochen’s current goals, how could he be interested in them?

Unless the fragment of the Divine Artifact was more or less completed.

“All the treasures you found in the Fane of Origin can be yours. I don’t want any of them.” Zhang Ruochen waved his hand.

Xue Tu was ecstatic. As he took the golden blade and alms bowl away, he said, “Senior, with all the things you have given me, what more can I ask for?”

“But you’ll have to pay me back when we leave the Fane of Origin!” Zhang Ruochen said.

The joy on Xue Tu’s face disappeared instantly. He became pale as paper as if a sharp sword had pierced his heart. It turned out… it turned out that Zhang Ruochen wanted to take it all at the end…

“Senior!”

Xue Tu couldn’t help but kneel and beg like Master Ye You.

Zhang Ruochen said, “You don’t have to say anything! We are among the first cultivators to enter the Fane of Origin. Suppose you have such an advantage and cannot get more than a Supreme Artifact. It can only mean that your ability is too weak.”

Xue Tu thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

The first cultivators to enter the Fane of Origin would get many benefits. Even deities would go crazy over it. It was possible to encounter any chance that might happen.

Even cultivators who didn’t have the potential to achieve divinity might be able to defy the heavens and become deities.

For cultivators who were nearing the end of their lives, they might be able to find Divine Herbs.

That’s right. It wasn’t strange to find Divine Artifacts and Divine Herbs in the Fane of Origin, let alone a Supreme Artifact.

Ji Fanxin returned, holding a stone the size of a human head.

“This is…”

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes lit up.

Ji Fanxin said, “I found this by passing through the dense Divine Marks in the depths of a ruin.”

“It’s just a stone.”

Thinking of the two treasures he had found, Xue Tu couldn’t help but look disdainful.

Ji Fanxin exerted some force from her five fingers. With a crack, the surface of the stone cracked.

Dazzling divine light shone out from the crack.

After the stone’s surface was completely shattered, blinding divine light burst out from within the inside of the rock. The surrounding seawater was utterly blown away by it, forming a spherical bubble with a diameter of dozens of kilometers.

Xue Tu was so excited that he was trembling. He said, “Divine… Divinity Source…”

“It’s indeed a Divinity Source,” said Ji Fanxin.

A Divinity Source could create a pseudo god. One could imagine how valuable it was.

Xue Tu said, “Let’s go look for the ruins you visited. If my guess is correct, there must have been a deity who died there a long time ago. There must have been other treasures.”

Ji Fanxin did not care about the word “Sister-in-law” at all. she said, “Countless years have passed. Many things have turned into dust. I’ve already looked into it. Other than this Divinity Source, there’s nothing else left.”

“There’s no Divine Bone?” Xue Tu asked.

Ji Fanxin shook her head and put away the Divinity Source.

“If it were a Ghost deity, there wouldn’t be any Divine Bones left,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Xue Tu sat down on the boulder and sighed.

“This isn’t the Fane of Origin yet. It’s just a planet on the periphery. The better things are all in the Fane. This planet should be the array’s base to protect the Fane of Origin.” Zhang Ruochen said.

Xue Tu said, “If that’s the case, what are we waiting for? Let’s go on.”

“We have to wait a little longer. Someone is tailing us.”

Zhang Ruochen looked in one direction and said, “Come out. Your aura has been exposed.”

Master Ye You hid in a pile of rubble. His eyes showed hesitation.

Although he did not know what this place was, it must be a precious land of treasures to be able to pick up a Divinity Source easily like that.

He was very excited. He wanted to kill and silence them so he could occupy this place alone.

But… he did not dare to do so.

He had many concerns and was afraid that Zhang Ruochen had other cards up his sleeve.

He was also afraid that if Zhang Ruochen escaped, he would be hunted down by the Xue Jue Family.

He was also afraid of the woman next to Zhang Ruochen. He always felt that the woman was not like a pretty delicate vase as she looked. Perhaps she had extraordinarily powerful cultivation.

“Do we do this job or not?”

Master Ye You was extremely conflicted. He could not help but pull his hair.

Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin appeared not far behind him silently. Zhang Ruochen said, “It really is you. I told you to collect the creatures of the Southern Sword Realm. Why did you follow me here?”

Master Ye You turned around and said righteously, “After I left, I thought about it carefully and realized that master had something important to do and might need me, so I immediately chased after him. As for a small matter like taking in living beings, I can do it with a mere clone.” ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

“After coming here, I finally understand that master needs me. Putting everything else aside, I can contribute if there is a need to break the arrays here.”

“I am a High-Saint Array Master at the level of King of Sea and Land.”

In the end, Master Ye You was still cowardly and did not dare to take the risk. However, when it came to his attainments in array mastery, he was full of confidence and incredibly proud.

“I have invited a Hand of the World. Why would I require a King of Sea and Land?”

Saying this, Zhang Ruochen summoned Le and High-Saint Kai Luo from the Qiankun Realm.

Master Ye You’s expression changed drastically. Then, he let out a long sigh of relief and thought, “I see, Zhang Ruochen has invited a Hand of the World. Fortunately, my reason just now overcame my greed. Otherwise, I would have been reduced into a Sainthood Source. There is nothing wrong with being cautious.”

After thinking for a while, Zhang Ruochen called out the Seven-Armed Elder again.

Seeing the Seven-Armed Elder, Master Ye You’s face changed again. He suddenly thought of many things. Then, he gritted his teeth and became angry. No wonder he could not deceive Zhang Ruochen. It must be that old b*stard who had betrayed him.
