The location of Chixinzi's treasure is an ancient, abandoned temple on Flying Ray Island, situated on a small hill on the west side of the island. The temple's origins are unknown, but judging from the traces, it should be over a hundred years old.
Flying Ray Island is a large island with tens of thousands of inhabitants, but they are all concentrated on the eastern slope of the island, where a fortress has even been built.
Over the past century, the eastern side of the island has undergone numerous human developments and has begun to take shape. In addition, its flat terrain is suitable for farming and raising livestock, and there is also a very important natural water source to the east, so the island's population naturally concentrates on the east side.
On the other hand, compared to the east side of the island, the west side is desolate and still in an undeveloped wild environment. The land on the western foothills of the island is relatively barren, and the terrain lacks flat land. It is mostly undulating hills and wild forests with large areas of trees, and the terrain is also very steep.
This environment naturally presents numerous inconveniences for the islanders, and no one would be so bored as to choose to live here—it was precisely for these reasons that Chixinzi chose this place to hide his treasure. He considered that the western side of the island was sparsely populated, and no one would dare to trespass into the temple on ordinary days.
This ancient temple should have been desolate. The monastery was entirely gray, standing among the mountains and forests. Weeds grew rampant in the courtyard, and moss and vines covered everything. Through the gaps in the dense trees and weeds, one could vaguely see the quiet and gloomy courtyard inside the collapsed walls of the temple, as well as the dark edge corridors and passageways.
"This place is actually quite suitable for filming horror movies..."
He Ping observed for a moment and thought to himself, "If this were Earth, this temple would definitely be a great backdrop for a horror movie."
"Those people guarding this place must be from the Sutuoluo Clan, and also from the Sun Family family, right?"
The temple, which should have been deserted, was now brightly lit and guarded by a large number of soldiers. Among these soldiers, apart from a few who had the faces of the Great You and were all wearing bright yellow armor, the others with curly hair, dark eyes, and dark skin were probably warriors of the Sutuoluo Clan.
He Ping observed carefully and found that the entire ancient temple was surrounded by this group of people in three layers inside and three layers outside. In addition, there were several powerful auras in the ancient temple, which were clearly released by cultivators with perfected divine Great Cheng and extremely deep cultivation. They were open and domineering, and seemed to have no intention of hiding their identities.
"As expected of overseas regions. If this were the Great You, no matter how arrogant the cultivators were, they would still have to live a life of humility..."
It was only at this point that He Ping finally realized the difference between overseas cultivators and cultivators in the Great You Kingdom. Cultivators in the Great You Kingdom lived under the high pressure of the imperial court, and no matter how arrogant they were, they still had to keep a low profile.
On the other hand, the customs of overseas are different from those of the Great You. Most of the cultivators who survive here are used to an unrestrained style of doing things, and they openly release their powerful aura without worrying that anyone will discover their whereabouts.
" The Sun Family family also migrated overseas from the Great You Realm. I don't think they have such an exaggerated style of doing things. It's possible that the people staying inside are cultivators from the Sutuoluo Clan."
The seven great overseas clans naturally also mastered the methods of entering the Dao. The method of entering the Dao practiced by the seven great clans is called the " Brahma Wheel Scripture ", which is divided into seven volumes. The methods described therein are extremely mysterious and profound, and are widely circulated and passed down overseas.
Besides the seven great remnant clans, the * Brahma Wheel Scripture * was once transmitted to the kingdoms of Divine Wind, Yanlong, and Fuyu. Even the Tiele tribes of the Mobei and the Great Xiye Kingdom had corresponding transmissions. However, in the Great Xiye Kingdom, the * Brahma Wheel Scripture * was called the * Brahma Serpent Book of Mysteries *. It is said that this name was chosen because the * Brahma Wheel Scripture * posits that the world is constantly undergoing cycles of reincarnation and destruction. And this process of reincarnation and destruction occurs within the belly of a Brahma Serpent possessing a power beyond the scale of the universe...
The Brahma Serpent is a large serpent with its head and tail connected. Every 129,600 cycles, the Brahma Serpent completely swallows itself, completing this cycle of cosmic reincarnation. When a new cycle begins, the universe will generate all things again, and the cycle will start again. This cyclical process is also known as "the beginning of a new era, the renewal of all things".
Among the seven great clans, the inheritance of the < Brahma Wheel Scripture > is more complete than that of the < Brahma Serpent Book of Mysteries > of the Great Xiye Kingdom. The seven great clans spent a long time studying this method of entering the Dao, and many powerful cultivators were born from it. Otherwise, these seven great clans would not have been able to roam overseas and dominate one side.
"Are the Sutuoluo Clan and the Sun Family family also after Chixinzi's hidden treasure?"
He Ping was also quite puzzled by this.
His hearing was exceptional; from this distance, he could hear the sounds of digging and shoveling coming from the temple. This proved that the people who had come here were digging inside the temple, trying to find the cellar where Chixinzi had hidden his treasure...
"How strange! It would be one thing if the Sun Family were eyeing Chixinzi's treasure, but what are the Sutuoluo Clan planning to do by coming to join in the fun?"
The location of Chixinzi's treasure is a secret; even the Sun Family family only knows the general outline, not the exact location.
Furthermore, even if they knew the location of the treasure, it wouldn't have attracted the attention of the Sutuoluo Clan, one of the seven great remnant clans.
The Sutuoluo Clan is one of the three great clans that founded the Zhendan Chamber of Commerce. With the wealth and resources of the Zhen Zhendan Chamber of Commerce Merchant Guild, the Sutuoluo Clan's accumulated wealth is comparable to that of a country. Among Chixinzi's treasures, only the " Blood-Eyed Kanan " is considered precious. Unfortunately, it may not be enough to make the Sutuoluo Clan go to great lengths to send warriors guarding the holy land all the way to Flying Ray Island to search for treasure.
"No matter how you look at it, this matter seems rather strange...?"
He Ping knew very well that there must be a reason for anything unusual. He told Chixinzi about his discovery, hoping to get some clues from him.
Chixinzi expressed his confusion about the situation, wondering why the treasure on Flying Ray Island would attract the attention of the Sutuoluo Clan. At least, he didn't think that his treasure would be targeted by such a powerful force Sutuoluo Clan.
"'Blood-Eyed Canaan' is indeed a rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but it shouldn't warrant the intervention of the elite warriors guarding the holy land..."
Chixinzi chuckled.
"But figuring out the situation is easy. I think the Sun Family probably knows something. We can just ask Sun Family."
"That's settled then." He Ping analyzed the situation briefly and had an idea in mind.
"Senior brother, I'd like to trouble you to make a trip to the Sun Family and investigate their background. While you're at it, try to get your hands on the nautical charts they have in the Sun Family collection. We came to Flying Ray Island for two reasons: firstly, to retrieve Blood-Eyed Garo; secondly, to obtain the nautical charts; and thirdly, to acquire a large ship to facilitate my operations at sea."
"Of course."
Chixinzi nodded.
"By the way, I remember you mentioned before, senior brother, that you used the ' Ghost-Guarding Cellar ' method to hide this batch of treasure. The underground cave where the treasure is hidden is set up with a powerful ghost array. If you wander in randomly, you will be completely disoriented."
Thinking of something, He Ping asked Chixinzi another question.
"That's right."
Chixinzi smiled.
"' Ghost-Guarding Cellar ' is Secret Method of the Mud Sect. I once had a duel with the Monk Sanhu of the Mud Sect and luckily won. I used a Heart-Piercing Lock to pierce the heart of that evil monk, breaking his White Bone Meditation. I also obtained a scroll of the ' Ghost-Guarding Cellar ' formation along the way."
He Ping had heard of the Secret Method of " Ghost-Guarding Cellar," which required gathering numerous ghosts to set up the formation.
The temple appears empty, but beneath it lies a treasure cellar, a setup by Chixinzi many years ago. The cellar can only be opened using special methods; outsiders unaware of its secrets will be bewitched by the ghosts Ghost-Guarding Cellar and trapped in a ghostly array.
Of course, a master cultivator wouldn't fear ordinary ghosts. Chixinzi wasn't from the Ghost Cry Sect, and the ghosts he found had limited abilities. However, if one didn't know the secrets behind them and was completely ignorant of ghost formations, they would most likely be trapped by the ghost formation for half an hour.
