Great treasure?

Chapter 31: A Great Treasure?

Myriad Phenomena Pill Shop.

Zi Xun'er lounged on the balcony of the upper floor, gazing at the busy crowd below, her eyes distant, lost in thought.

"Miss." A hoarse voice sounded.

Zi Xun'er's eyes cleared, and she raised an eyebrow. "Is there news?"

"We've confirmed the approximate location of the Dao Mansion. It should be within the Land of Beast Burial, about three hundred li north of Tianwu Main City," Elder Ge said slowly, standing beside Zi Xun'er.

"A little over a month. Not long, not short. Prepare the Land of Beast Burial. Once the Dao Mansion appears, we must seize the Lightning Fire," Zi Xun'er's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

"When the Lightning Fire appears, Heaven and Earth will surely show anomalies. The major sects in the east might detect it and try to snatch it from us. With the people brought this time, it's difficult, too difficult. Even if other sects don't know about the Lightning Fire, the Tianlong Ancient Sect will surely guess. After all, they took away the corpse of that Ape Demon and will sense the aura of lightning."

"So, the people from home should be arriving soon, right, Elder Ge? Have someone send word to the Guiyuan Sect. Tell them that the whereabouts of Ancestor Tianyuan of Guiyuan Sect have been found. I'm sure the Guiyuan Sect will mobilize their entire force once they know," Zi Xun'er said slowly.

Elder Ge's aged face beneath his black robe twitched slightly. He looked up at Zi Xun'er, his voice filled with concern, "Miss... this... if the Guiyuan Sect gets involved, things will become even more chaotic and harder to control."

"Chaos offers more hope. The Tianlong Ancient Sect has too deep a foundation. If they detect the Lightning Fire, they might mobilize their entire force as well. And with the Ancestor in seclusion, it will be difficult for the Zi family alone to resist the old monsters of the Tianlong Ancient Sect on their territory! Success or failure hinges on this. We must obtain the Lightning Fire, and even if we can't, we absolutely cannot let the Tianlong Ancient Sect benefit," Zi Xun'er said coldly, her eyes flashing with sharp light.

Elder Ge gave Zi Xun'er a deep look.

"Also... Tong Yunfei should be arriving soon, shouldn't he?" Zi Xun'er's lips curved slightly, revealing a smile as she said lightly.

"What a pain! This Land of Beast Burial is so vast, how long will it take to find it? Li Tianji, divine this for me."

Deep within the Land of Beast Burial, Xiong Tatian said impatiently, punching a towering tree beside him, causing it to snap and bend.

Li Tianji's stern face showed a hint of annoyance. This Xiong Tatian was like a child, constantly needing his restless heart soothed. If he didn't know that Xiong Tatian's intelligence hadn't fully developed, Li Tianji would have left long ago. Feeling uneasy, Li Tianji glanced at Qin Yu, as if suggesting he go talk to him.

Meanwhile, Qin Yu was slowly practicing a set of moves nearby. For the past two months, he had been studying a combat technique called the Heaven-Shattering Fist.

The Tian Qi Sect was once a top sect in the Immortal Martial World, and its collection of combat techniques and Daoist arts were of high caliber, mostly requiring sufficient spiritual power to sustain. Therefore, with his current cultivation, there weren't many combat techniques suitable for him. After searching, Qin Yu only found one beginner-level combat technique that suited him.

The Heaven-Shattering Fist!

The Heaven-Shattering Fist emphasizes unleashing several punches in the shortest possible time. It focuses on extreme speed, channeling all power outward. The more punches thrown in the shortest time, the greater the power.

This can be used in conjunction with Myriad Force. If he could stack his power and unleash several punches or even more in the shortest time, the power would be unimaginable.

And in these past two months, Qin Yu's cultivation had also entered the eighth level of the Martial Realm. As he drank more Fierce Beast blood, Qin Yu's lean physique had become more robust, and all aspects of his body had improved.

Currently, Qin Yu could unleash five punches in the span of a single breath!

"It's a shame. I can only stack my power by using the Mad Demon Transformation. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the Heaven-Shattering Fist and Myriad Force would be enough to kill Cui Shuo!" Qin Yu muttered to himself. Seemingly sensing Li Tianji's gaze, Qin Yu looked at the irritable Xiong Tatian and inwardly gave a wry smile.

After spending these past few months together, Qin Yu had come to accept Xiong Tatian. He was like a ticking time bomb, prone to sudden outbursts, and this was not the first time he had repeated this complaint, grumbling almost every two days.

After a moment of thought, Qin Yu looked at Li Tianji. "Li Tianji, why don't you divine it? See if you can pinpoint the exact location of the Ancestor Ape Blood. The Beast Burial Forest is teeming with Fierce Beasts, and searching like this isn't a solution." Qin Yu wanted to take this opportunity to confirm if Li Tianji truly possessed divination skills and also to witness the process.

Li Tianji frowned, glanced at Xiong Tatian, who was glaring at him, and his stern face hesitated for a moment. "I can divine it, but I can't guarantee the accuracy of the location."

"Just divine it first!" Xiong Tatian said impatiently.

Li Tianji hesitated for a moment, then took out the white cloth. He glanced at Qin Yu before closing his eyes and beginning to chant.

Before long, dense patterns appeared on the white cloth, exactly as Qin Yu had seen before. Finally, he heard Li Tianji muttering something, seemingly trying to lower his voice, so Qin Yu could only vaguely make out a few words, which only made Qin Yu more confused.

"Open!" Li Tianji suddenly shouted. His eyes snapped open, and his peculiar pupils widened, emitting a faint glow, like two beams of light shining upon the silk cloth.

Qin Yu and Xiong Tatian sat to the side, watching the white cloth with surprise, then looking at Li Tianji with faces full of suspicion and astonishment. Nothing had appeared on the white cloth.

Just as they were marveling, Li Tianji suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The flush on his face quickly faded, and he appeared extremely weak. He slowly raised his head, looking to the front left, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

"Li Tianji, did you divine anything or not?" Xiong Tatian, seeing Li Tianji's condition, quickly urged him to speak.

"Here... a great treasure will appear!" Li Tianji said in a deep voice.

"A great treasure?" Xiong Tatian and Qin Yu exchanged glances, looking at each other. Xiong Tatian's eyes lit up, and he forgot all about the Ancestor Ape Blood. "What treasure? Li Tianji, hurry up and tell us!"

"I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect a Dao Mansion might appear, and... in about a month!" Li Tianji said, his voice trembling.

"Young friend, may I ask in which direction the Dao Mansion is located?" Just as Xiong Tatian and Qin Yu were stunned, a sudden, hoarse voice rang out.

The newcomer was an old man in black. His face was ruddy, and his white eyebrows drooped to his lips, making him look exceptionally kind. His slightly narrowed eyes were filled with a smile, giving him the appearance of an impish old man.

All three were startled. Seeing the black-robed elder appear bizarrely beside them, their expressions varied: Xiong Tatian was angry, Qin Yu was astonished, and Li Tianji was inwardly horrified.

Qin Yu stared at the old man in black, a slight shock in his heart. He had seen his fair share of powerful individuals. Although many experts could conceal their aura once they reached a certain level, Qin Yu had honed a pair of Fiery Golden Eyes in the Tian Qi Sect, allowing him to deduce a person's cultivation based on their aura and the changes in Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, when the old man in black appeared, Qin Yu reflexively made a deduction, and the result made his veins bulge.

This was a Dao Realm expert!

"Who are you? Do you know you scared us?" Xiong Tatian, not thinking much, glared at the old man in black with a furious expression, rolling up his sleeves as if ready to fight.
