LRAB Chapter 91, Sealing the Supreme Treasure
Chapter 91, Sealing the Supreme Treasure
As time passed, entering the maze became easy, but advancing towards the center proved extremely difficult. Many powerful individuals, after spending one or two months to advance less than ten thousand kilometers, eventually gave up and chose to leave via divine teleportation when no powerful figures were around. Only a small number of powerful individuals remained determined to push towards the center of the maze.
Back then, it took Ye Muxuan more than three months to travel over 10,000 kilometers from the valley entrance to the giant stone platform of King Mingze. This time, however, it took him more than seven months to travel another 10,000 kilometers.
It took more than two years to travel from 20,000 kilometers to 30,000 kilometers. This was Ye Muxuan's third year in the maze. At this time, within a radius of 100,000 kilometers, besides the aura of the treasure at 50,000 kilometers, there were four other treasure auras in different locations behind him.
Behind them, there are definitely more than just four Kings. Most of the peak Kings have never actually seen a treasure, which is why they are so obsessed with it. Of course, some Kings also entered the maze from other valley entrances, so the actual number of powerful figures is truly unknown.
It took more than five years to go from 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers; thirteen years to go from 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers; and thirty years to go from 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers.
In the blink of an eye, 330 years had passed since Ye Muxuan arrived at the maze. Finally, within a hundred kilometers of the aura of that precious treasure, he saw a massive stone pillar. Over the years, some kings had approached, and others had left. Now, within a radius of 100,000 kilometers around him, there were three other sources of the aura of precious treasure that he could still sense. Apart from the aura of the precious treasure on the massive stone platform before him, the closest source of the aura was 20,000 kilometers ahead.
……
Ye Muxuan examined the enormous "stone pillar" in front of him. The stone pillar was over 100 kilometers in diameter and over 300 meters high, just like a huge manor placed here. The aura of the treasure was located at the top of the stone pillar.
Due to the spatial blockade, one can fly upwards below fifty meters, but above fifty meters, one can only slowly climb upwards. Moreover, the stone pillar is made of such hard material that even a King-level expert's self-destruction would only cause a few stone fragments to fly off. At least Ye Muxuan cannot destroy it now.
Ye Muxuan stood under the stone pillar, surveying the situation before him. After a long while, he released the Broken Dust from his World Ring.
As soon as the 500-meter-long dust monster appeared, it knelt on the ground with its forelimbs, lowered its head, and pointed the blood-red horn on its forehead at Ye Muxuan. Its deep voice rang out: "Master."
Ye Muxuan glanced at Suichen, then walked onto its shoulder. As Suichen stood up, Ye Muxuan easily reached a height of two hundred meters, with about one hundred meters remaining to the final peak.
Suichen raised its forelimbs and placed them on the stone pillar. As it moved, Ye Muxuan gradually rose up until it was about 300 meters high. When Suichen's forelegs touched the edge of the top of the stone pillar, Ye Muxuan easily walked up to the top of the stone pillar.
With a powerful push from its forelimbs, Shattered Dust climbed to the top of the stone pillar.
The enormous special life forms are just that unreasonable; any smaller king in this situation would have to rely on their own strength to climb up. It's like asking an apprentice to climb a steep, smooth stone wall with no foothold.
Ye Muxuan's gaze fell on the center of the huge platform at the top of the stone pillar. Fifty kilometers away, there was a recessed area where something emitted a hazy light! That terrifying aura of a precious treasure was right there!
After traveling fifty kilometers, the destination was in sight. Ye Muxuan stood in the middle of the huge stone platform, looking at the silver cube that emitted a hazy light in the recessed area, lying there quietly.
Without a doubt, this is a treasure!
However, with its aura concealed, it's impossible to tell from its appearance whether it's a valuable treasure or a supreme treasure. Even with Ye Muxuan's sensing abilities, at such close range, he could only sense that the aura of this treasure was terrifying, seemingly... stronger than his own Soul Radiance and Wind Stepping.
My heart started pounding!
Ye Muxuan stepped forward, raised his hand, and used the power of the world to wrap around one of the sharp corners of the cube, picking up the cube, which was about ten meters tall, from the dent.
By imprinting his life mark upon it, the treasure would become his. After recognizing its owner, a message arrived, and the silver cube rapidly shrank, finally settling in his palm like a silver walnut.
Ye Muxuan's expression suddenly changed, followed by wild joy.
This is actually a supreme treasure! And an extremely rare sealing-type supreme treasure at that! It contains a sealed space-time. Just activating the first layer of secret runes is enough to form a Venerable-level spatial seal. The second layer of secret runes can even seal ordinary Venerables inside. If the third layer of secret runes can be activated, even those high-level Venerables or even cosmic overlords would not be able to escape once they are sealed inside!
The sealed space within the area containing the treasure is so enclosed that teleportation is impossible, and even the passage to the divine realm cannot be opened.
Unfortunately, with Ye Muxuan's current abilities, he couldn't even activate the first level of the secret rune. Firstly, it was due to his limited understanding of the laws. This was a sealed treasure suitable for Venerables who cultivated the laws of space, while Ye Muxuan mainly cultivated the laws of time. Although he wasn't completely without any understanding of the laws of space, his energy was focused on the laws of time, and he hadn't even reached the most basic level of recognition of the laws of space.
Secondly, the difference in basic power is too great. Even activating the first level of the secret rune of a sealing treasure requires more divine power than an ordinary treasure. If he could become an immortal, he could definitely directly enter the peak of the King-Sealing Realm, at which point he could forcibly activate the first level of the secret rune.
Even so, this was the first treasure he had ever obtained! And it was an extremely rare sealing treasure, of immeasurable value!
Just as he recognized the treasure as his master, the Venerable-level spatial seal that enveloped the entire maze was lifted.
Even the most powerful King-level cultivators, at their peak or limit, could only react with a speed of over 60,000 kilometers from the center of the maze. This distance was practically teleportation for even a Time-based King-level cultivator, let alone a Space-based one.
Once the spatial blockade was lifted, all the powerful figures here knew that the treasure had been obtained by someone else. If they didn't seize it now, when would they have another chance?
"Whoosh~"
Whoosh whoosh.
Almost instantly, twelve—no, thirteen—King-level experts appeared on the stone platform, which was a hundred kilometers in diameter. One of them was hiding in the world ring of another King-level expert. The weakest of these thirteen were all at the peak of the King-level, and three of them possessed exceptionally powerful auras, with the aura of great treasures within their bodies.
In an instant, all the powerful figures surrounded Ye Muxuan and Suichen, and they also saw the silver cube the size of a walnut in Ye Muxuan's hand.
Once a treasure has recognized its master and concealed its aura, it naturally won't be recognized by these powerful individuals if it's not used. But even if it's a powerful treasure, it's enough for these powerful individuals to risk their lives in a battle.
