"Realm God, open the entrance to the Treasure Vault," Lin Shen commanded.
The Realm God formed divine light with both hands, and the radiance fell upon the altar. Beams of light immediately lit up within the altar's grooves.
The light only illuminated one-third of the grooves before it could go no further. The remaining two-thirds showed no light at all.
"Continue," Lin Shen ordered.
The Realm God's other four pairs of palms also shone with divine light, which fell upon the altar just like before.
The grooves on the altar gradually lit up. Before long, every groove had brightened, forming a glowing symbol for "realm."
"What do we do next? Why hasn't the Treasure Vault opened?" Seeing that every groove on the altar had lit up while the vault remained shut, Lin Shen felt a trace of regret. He should not have killed Immortal in the Clouds so early.
"Could it be that there isn't enough energy?" Xiao Na said.
Lin Shen had the Realm God go all out. The glowing "realm" symbol was nearly burning, yet the altar still showed no reaction whatsoever.
By then, Lin Shen had realized where the problem lay. Immortal in the Clouds had said that only Three Realms Divine Art could open the Treasure Vault, but what Lin Shen had cultivated probably did not count as the genuine Three Realms Divine Art. That was why he could not open it.
He had the Realm God release its energy at full strength and tried every angle and method, but the altar remained utterly unmoved. He even tried to smash the altar by force, only to find that he had no idea what material it was made from. Even the Realm God's full-power strike could not harm it in the slightest.
