Treasure Vault, Emptied

Void Chaos Art?

Isn't this the treasure art mentioned by the mysterious person locked by the Chain of Karma?

Back then, Lin Shuguang was still wondering where the opportunity for this treasure art lay, but it turns out it was here!

Thinking about it.

So the person in front of him is actually a plot character who has also been defeated by the mysterious person.

The world is truly small.

Lin Shuguang finally learned the Void Chaos Art to Grand Perfection after spending almost all his money.

With a thought, he could travel the world.

That's what the general outline says, but after Lin Shuguang's pay-to-win upgrades and leveling up, he clearly knew that to travel far, one still needed to rely on their cultivation realm.

"After you return, you must cultivate this treasure art diligently. After all, it involves rules, and for cultivators at your current realm, it's still quite bitter and difficult to understand. Don't worry, go to the Demonic Moon Sect first and retrieve the Three Yang Needle. Once this matter is settled, if you have any questions about this treasure art, you can come and ask this old man. I will tell you everything I know."

"I'll await your news."

Lin Shuguang dropped these words, and with a thought, The space in front of him seemed to ripple, and he instantly disappeared from his original spot.

With a "swish," he appeared in the lounge he was in.

After all, it was the first time using this treasure art, and he was still a bit unaccustomed to it. The moment he landed, his whole body trembled, and then a look of joy appeared on his face, "Now that I've learned this treasure art, I'm like a tiger with wings."

And at this moment, in the forging room.

Mysterious person: "..."

Looking at the empty forging room, the once powerful expert who shook the continent appeared somewhat silent.

"Am I old, or has the era changed? I only passed on the method to him, I didn't tell him how to cultivate, and he can understand it so quickly just like this?"

"Monster... It's fate that I met him!"

"Hahaha... Hahahaha..."

The entire Saber Prison suddenly shook again.

Sima Tingwei, who had just blasted Ji Feng away, suddenly frowned again, "What madness is Ji Wufeng up to now!"

His figure flashed.

He quickly rushed over.

Within two breaths, Sima Tingwei descended like a storm into the eighteenth level of the underground Saber Prison.

A formation prison, like a fiery furnace, trapped a disheveled man, his hands and feet bound by mysterious chains, suspended in mid-air... At this moment, the man was laughing heartily.

"Ji Wufeng, what are you going crazy about!" Sima Tingwei's figure descended with a roar, like a giant sword falling onto a mountain peak, causing the surrounding lightning to surge and suppress towards Ji Wufeng in the cage.

However, Ji Wufeng's laughter continued.

He didn't seem to take Sima Tingwei seriously at all.

This scene made Sima Tingwei narrow his eyes slightly... Back then, he had come here on His Majesty's orders, precisely to personally oversee and suppress this fierce demon.

He couldn't understand why this fierce demon, who hadn't shown any unusual activity for hundreds of years, was causing trouble repeatedly now.

He raised his hand, and lightning surged, desperately resisting and suppressing the terrifying aura emanating from Ji Wufeng.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Ji Wufeng's commotion finally subsided.

Through the lightning, he slowly raised his head. His hair was disheveled, but the eyes beneath his gray eyebrows were not cloudy at all; they simply looked indifferently at Sima Tingwei, "Back then, I made a bet with Gu Taxian. He couldn't defeat heaven, and now, hundreds of years later, he's still him. I still think he can't."

Gu Taxian... the current His Majesty's name.

Sima Tingwei's expression was equally cold. His gaze fixed on Ji Wufeng, he said faintly, "Behave yourself. I can't kill you, and you can't get out. If you want to live longer, struggle less."

After speaking, he turned and left.

A sharp glint flashed in Ji Wufeng's eyes... I don't know which sect that brat comes from. No matter what sect, with such talent, if he joined my sect, this incense would surely not be broken.

In the lounge on the second underground level.

Lin Shuguang no longer felt the commotion from the Saber Prison. At this time, many jailers had opened their doors and stood in the corridor, looking surprised and uncertain.

Lin Shuguang: "..."

What is that old man doing causing such a ruckus?

Every time I look for you, you cause such a huge disturbance...

No wonder he passed on the Void Chaos Art to me.

"The Spatial Altar can be used for hiding, and the Void Chaos Art can be used for distant escape. If these two could be combined, wouldn't I be invincible?"

Thinking this, Lin Shuguang began to experiment.

First, he entered the Spatial Altar, then activated the Void Chaos Art, but for a moment, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

"Both of these abilities involve rules... Is it because my realm isn't high enough, or is it because both rules originate from the Totem Continent, and I'm not from there, so I can't use them?"

Logically, he had already refined the Heaven Sacrifice Talisman and could enter it.

The Void Chaos Art was a supreme technique he had spent a fortune to max out to Grand Perfection.

Yet, the two couldn't coexist.

Lin Shuguang: "..."

Heavenly Dao, you're acting strange.

Although Lin Shuguang's desire to fuse these two abilities was a bit far-fetched, as he thought, if he could wield both properly, it would still be a powerful trump card.

After a night passed.

Lin Shuguang left the Black Prison.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he returned to his lodging and ordered a sweet and spicy chicken, asking the waiter to deliver it to his room.

"Enjoy your meal, sir," the waiter said with a smile, not forgetting to add, "Sir, a group of tough guys has come to town these past few days. It's best if you don't go out if you have nothing to do. It happens that the sky is terribly dark today, yet it's so gloomy during the day. I fear a heavy rain is coming soon."

The door closed.

Lin Shuguang glanced out the window. The wind howled, and the sky was terrifyingly gloomy, like dusk, making one's heart palpitate.

Not long after.

The window of Lin Shuguang's room seemed to be swept by a gust of wind.

Activating the Void Chaos Art, he instantly teleported a thousand meters away.

With a few leaps, he disappeared from the area under the Black Prison's jurisdiction.

The Demonic Moon Sect, once renowned for the old witch's ferocity, had devoured weaker forces. However, they then cut off an arm, so to speak, by reporting the old witch and voluntarily handing over most of the territories they had encroached upon. They retreated to a corner in the southwest, secretly controlling the towns and villages in the region.

Hidden in the shadows, Lin Shuguang clearly observed that in this town, it was a group of men serving tea and water to women. At the entrance of some shops, women even stood on the street holding long whips, scolding their husbands.

Considering the origins of the Demonic Moon Sect, the karma behind this was not entirely incomprehensible.

Lin Shuguang had no intention of intervening to save them.

Women in black, their faces veiled, patrolled the streets with various weapons. Such brazenness under the emperor's nose, yet not being wiped out by the imperial court, suggested they had significant backing. Lin Shuguang didn't believe otherwise.

As he ventured deeper, he saw men everywhere wearing tattered clothes, being detained by Demonic Moon Sect disciples. Anyone who dared to struggle or resist would be severely whipped.

The mountains behind the county town had been excavated, and the exposed corners of the buildings clearly revealed a sacrificial altar.

"This is the true stronghold of the Demonic Moon Sect."

Lin Shuguang found it utterly bizarre.

The Demonic Moon Sect actually dared to build a sacrificial altar deep in the mountains. Weren't they afraid of being caught?

It was laughable.

Back then, the Demonic Moon Sect had reported the old witch for privately conducting evil sacrifices as the crime to drive her away.

And now, these very people had started their own evil sacrifices.

Lin Shuguang's figure flickered as he rapidly approached.

The Demonic Moon Sect disciples here were clearly several times stronger than those in the town, but some things were also apparent.

It seemed to be the consequence of the evil sacrifices; the disciples near the altar were noticeably more silent, appearing dull-witted, like walking corpses.

"Although evil sacrifices can increase power, sacrificing to an Evil God will also erode their minds with evil energy. Over time, they will lose their humanity..." Lin Shuguang hid within the Spatial Altar.

When people came, he would hide there. After they left, he would leap out and charge in using the Void Chaos Art.

He phased into the mountain range.

A massive temple complex enveloped the area around the altar.

Countless rooms were embedded within the mountainside, adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, decorated with various patterns.

"Continue deeper!"

Lin Shuguang's figure flashed.

He pushed the Void Chaos Art and the Spatial Altar to their limits.

A group of people was gathered at the passage ahead. Lin Shuguang stood behind a stone statue, his form blending perfectly with the surrounding darkness, unnoticed by anyone for a time.

"These treasures were personally selected by the Divine Envoy. Be careful and place them in the darkroom," a Demonic Moon Sect disciple, dressed in extraordinary attire, directed the controlled men.

A group of people carefully lifted the chests.

Led by Demonic Moon Sect disciples, everyone cautiously carried the chests inside. What was contained within the chests was unknown, as the dozen or so strong men appeared extremely strained, sweat pouring from their foreheads.

Lin Shuguang followed behind, stopping when he saw a group of Demonic Moon Sect disciples guarding not far away...

As the treasure vault door opened, he shot out with a "whoosh," the Void Chaos Art unleashed to its peak.

"Huh? Did something just flash by?" a Demonic Moon Sect disciple exclaimed in surprise. She exchanged glances with her companions, searched around, but saw no suspicious personnel. The disciple who had spoken looked puzzled, "Was I just seeing things?"

Once assured that no one was present, they urged the strong men to put down the items, then berated them to leave quickly before locking the treasure vault door once more.

After a long while.

A figure appeared in the treasury as if it were their own property.

It was Lin Shuguang!

He had just risked his life passing through a group of Spirit Transformation Realm Demonic Moon Sect disciples, and the moment he entered, he hid in the Spatial Altar.

Otherwise, he would have definitely been discovered by so many Demonic Moon Sect disciples famous for their mental power.

Turning around, Lin Shuguang began to survey his "territory."

This treasury was even larger than the hall outside. The surrounding walls were inlaid with luminous pearls, illuminating the entire treasury. The light was not dazzling; instead, it was quite soft.

What caught Lin Shuguang's attention even more were the neatly arranged chests, each with a steel lock.

"Click!"

The steel locks were nothing to Lin Shuguang.

With a reach of his hand, he easily crushed them. Upon opening a chest, he found it filled with Gold Leaves, a whole chest full.

"The Demonic Moon Sect has plundered so much money! I'm rich now!"

"Click! Click! Click!"

A series of sounds of steel locks shattering echoed.

Chest after chest was opened.

Various jewels, ornaments... together worth at least several million Gold Leaves.

Needless to say, it was definitely the wealth plundered by the Demonic Moon Sect from all over.

"Then I'll accept it gratefully."

Lin Shuguang was not polite at all. He moved all these chests into the Spatial Altar. Fortunately, the Spatial Altar was very large, and it could easily accommodate these chests.

Lin Shuguang himself felt no psychological pressure whatsoever.

After he threw more than a dozen chests filled with treasures into the Spatial Altar, there were still other chests in the room. Lin Shuguang opened them tirelessly.

They turned out to be chests full of pills.

Lin Shuguang, being new here, couldn't identify all these pills. He took one out and felt it in his palm, then realized, "So these are pills that increase Blood Essence... and this one..."

He swallowed it in one gulp.

Lin Shuguang glanced at his attribute panel.

Mental power increased by 1 point. This meager increase greatly disappointed Lin Shuguang. He stuffed it into his mouth, and in a hasty manner, closed the lid of the chest and threw it back into the Spatial Altar.

He tried several more types of pills.

Either strength increased by one point, or physique increased by one point.

After Lin Shuguang swallowed a black pill, a line of text appeared on the system panel in front of him.

[Poisoned]

Lin Shuguang: "..."

With a surge of his Blood Essence, he dispersed the poisonous gas and spat out a mouthful of black, clotted blood.

"Bad luck."

He also packed this chest of various poisons into the altar.

More than twenty chests of pills were swept clean.

Lin Shuguang continued deeper.

He opened the chests in front of him, which surprisingly contained weapons, arrows, longbows, and even some armor.

Lin Shuguang looked at them with a strange expression.

"Is the Demonic Moon Sect planning a rebellion? With their Sect Master being in the True Fate Realm, they dare to go against the Great Gan Dynasty? Either they are truly insane, or the force behind this Demonic Moon Sect is even more powerful... Interesting."

Lin Shuguang was not polite.

Whether it was weapons or pills, he accepted them all without refusal and put them into his storage.

The entire room was cleared in an instant.

Lin Shuguang then arrived at the entrance of the second room.

The doorknob of this door had a restriction placed on it.

If Lin Shuguang had accidentally touched it, the expert guarding this place would have immediately sensed it.

"To make the Demonic Moon Sect guard it so carefully, the items inside must be even more precious... The mysterious prisoner from the Black Prison mentioned that the Three Yang Needle and Void Water were in the second room. There must be a reason for that."

Hundreds of thousands of mental power surged like a tidal wave. The owner of this restriction would surely regret not putting more effort into setting it up when they knew how easily Lin Shuguang, an anomaly, could break through it.

The second room was much smaller than the first.

There were some precious Treasure Medicines and some Spiritual Artifacts.

A water vat made of special material was filled with Void Water. Lin Shuguang emptied it on the spot.

He found the Three Yang Needle. The faint aura emanating from it made Lin Shuguang hesitate... The mysterious person's strength was not weak; why would they need such a treasure?

Without overthinking it, he directly threw it into the Spatial Altar.

"Huh? What is this?" A container the size of a safe was locked. Lin Shuguang grabbed it, but couldn't break the lock, and was filled with surprise.

Not sensing any restrictions on it, he drew the Blade of Slaughter and shattered the golden lock with a single strike.

The chains immediately broke, and upon opening the container, he found a jade bone, about the length of an index finger... As soon as the container was opened, a terrifying aura descended.

Lin Shuguang reacted swiftly, throwing it directly into the Spatial Altar.

"This aura is incredibly evil. What the heck is this thing? Whatever, I'm taking everything here!"

Lin Shuguang thoroughly looted both treasure vaults.

He swaggered over to the main door.

"Knock, knock."

There was movement from the treasure vault door.

The Demonic Moon Sect disciples on guard looked at each other suspiciously and opened the treasure vault door.

A figure descended with overwhelming force.

A fierce blade light instantly drew and slashed down.

"Squelch."

Several heads flew high into the air.

Amidst the spraying blood mist, a figure flashed and vanished, like a phantom, catching everyone off guard
