The old man's voice still echoed within the hall, but Qin Xiong walked over to Han Yan with large strides, and said excitedly: "Han Yan, do you know where the location of the treasure is?"
Han Yan nodded and replied honestly: "I know, but I can't go in."
When these words came out, both Qin Xiong and Chen Yue were startled, their eyes filled with puzzlement.
Chen Yue suddenly thought of something, and said: "Could it be because …."
Han Yan took a deep breath and nodded: "That's right, if I want to open that door, I must have the bloodline of the Murloc. As an outsider, I'm afraid I cannot open it …"
Qin Xiong's face became ugly, and anxiously asked: "What do we do?" His biggest purpose for returning to the Ten Directions Continent was for the treasure of the Murlocs. If he was unable to obtain the treasure, not only would it affect the fate of the Murlocs, it would also affect his own future. His longevity was almost up, and he could only live for a few hundred more years. If he couldn't break through within those few hundred years, then he would have to leave. Qin Xiong had placed all his last hope on the Murlocs's treasure deposit, but now it had become like this, how could he not be anxious?
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
At this very moment, Qin Xiong was in such a mood.
Han Yan thought for a moment, then patted the storage bag on his waist and took out a jade slip. Then, he engraved the location of the treasure and the method to open it into the jade slip and passed it to Qin Xiong, saying: "Patriarch, the location of the treasure and the method to open it are all inside this jade slip. Take a look."
Qin Xiong hurriedly received the jade slip and channeled his divine sense inside. After he skimmed through the content of the jade slip, he could not help but be startled: "This method of activating it is too difficult; it actually requires all the power of a Nine Revolving Cultivator to use it. For a moment, it seemed as if he couldn't see any hope as his eyes dimmed. At the moment, other than Han Yan, who could execute such an offensive array? But Han Yan was still not Murloc.
Chen Yue frowned, and asked: "Brother Qin, where is the treasure deposit?"
"Nine Heavens Mountain Range, from the Sky Valley." Qin Xiong laughed bitterly, and said immediately.
After hearing that, Chen Yue's eyes immediately opened wide, and he cried out involuntarily: "What?! He's actually from the Sky Valley?!"
Seeing such a huge reaction from Chen Yue, a puzzled look flashed past Qin Xiong's eyes, and he said: "Brother Chen, what's wrong?" He did not know much about the Ten Directions Continent's situation, so when he heard from the Sky Valley, he did not have much of a reaction.
However, Chen Yue was different. In this half a month, he had always been enquiring about the situation of the Ten Directions Continent, and naturally, he paid more attention to the few places that were most mysterious. The Nine Heavens Mountain Range was one of them. There were huge formations laid out in the mountain range, and unless one was proficient in formations, it was impossible to break them. In the thousands and millions of years, other than the Limen Clan who had broken the array outside the ZhongTian Valley a hundred years ago, no one else had been able to break it.
Therefore, when Chen Yue heard this, he revealed such a huge reaction.
This was because before opening the treasure trove, one must first enter from the Sky Valley. And from the Sky Valley, there was an enormous array formation. How could one enter? Right now, he wasn't thinking about how to open the treasure, but how to break the formation. As long as the formation was not broken, even if one knew where the treasure was, as well as the method to open it, it would be useless.
Chen Yue let out a breath of cold air and explained the thoughts in his heart. He said: "Brother Qin, I think it's better to go to the Nine Heavens Mountain Range first and have a look. If we can break the formation there, then we can discuss how to open the treasures." As he was speaking, his gaze was fixated on Han Yan's body, it was obvious that he was saying these words for Han Yan to hear. Amongst the three of them, other than Han Yan, let alone breaking the array from the Sky Valley, even if the protectorate Great Array was placed outside of the Ten Directions Continent s' sects, two people wouldn't be able to break it either.
Qin Xiong did not answer, but looked at Han Yan the same way and said, "Han Yan, regarding this matter …"
Han Yan knew what Qin Xiong was going to say, and furthermore, he was extremely interested in this treasure deposit. Therefore, after hearing Qin Xiong's words, Han Yan did not refuse, and said: "Alright, let's go check from the sky valley to see if we can break the array. If we can break it, then we can think of a way to open the treasure."
The three of them left the island in a flash and flew straight to Nine Heavens Mountain Range.
In a moment, the three of them were outside of Nine Heavens Mountain Range and with a flash, Han Yan arrived at Nine Heavens Valley. If not for what happened back then, it would have been impossible for him and Xiao Yuyao to walk together. After all, at that time he was only a foundation-building stage cultivator, while Xiao Yuyao was an expert of the golden core stage.
Thinking about it, Han Yan had a bad taste. He secretly sighed, pointed to a valley not far away, and said: "Two seniors, from the Sky Valley is right in front."
With a flash, the three of them appeared in front of the Sky Valley.
Looking at the array outside the valley, Han Yan's eyes flashed. He raised his fist and punched the array. An immense amount of spiritual energy was released from his fist, and it flew straight to the formation like a lightning bolt. As it fell down, there was a loud explosion as the entire array formation began to tremble.
Seeing this result, Han Yan was also surprised. Back then, he was trapped in the array and knew how powerful the array was. He didn't expect that after hundreds of years, when he reached the seventh circulation and returned here, the formation before him would be reduced to this. Although Han Yan could not guarantee that he could break the array immediately, he only needed a period of time, so breaking the array shouldn't be difficult.
Han Yan's consciousness moved, and instantly enveloped Nine Heavens Mountain Range within it. There were a total of ten valleys. Other than the one that was broken by the Limen Clan a hundred years ago, there were also nine other valleys that had a formation array around them. As for the situation in the trading valley, Han Yan knew it like the palm of his hand, and there was nothing good left. As for the formations outside the other nine valleys, Han Yan would similarly break them after the formations outside the Sky Valley were broken. Regardless if there were or not things inside, Han Yan had to go there once. After all, this was the place where the Ancient Ten Great Warriors resided.
Deity Stage was something unattainable for cultivators in the world, but Han Yan did not believe it. Since Ancient Cultivator could turn into a god, why was it impossible for cultivators right now? Han Yan did not believe in fate. His life was never good, but wasn't he still working hard to step into the current realm, to reach the realm of becoming an Ascendant?
When Han Yan thought of this, he saw the two's nervous expressions and said: "Seniors, this formation is not that difficult to break. As long as you give me some time, I can break through it."
Hearing that, both of their eyes were filled with excitement, Qin Xiong immediately asked: "Han Yan, how long will it take for you to break this array?"
Han Yan remained silent for a bit, and said: "A maximum of three days, a minimum of half a day."2
The two of them sucked in a breath of cold air, and an expression of shock swept across their eyes.
When he came, Chen Yue released his divine sense to sense the array formation. In his opinion, this array was just too profound, it was not much different from the one Han Yan had set up. With his current cultivation level, there was no way for him to forcefully break through the formation. If he slowly analyzed the situation, he wouldn't be able to open the formation for the rest of his life.
Chen Yue laughed bitterly and said: "Han Yan, I will help you guard this place. You can break the array as you wish."
Han Yan nodded, and released a stream of spirit force into the array. With a flash of light, he entered the array, at the same time, Han Yan's consciousness also entered. The moment he entered the array, Han Yan closed his eyes and started to analyze the array. The array looked strong, but breaking it was not difficult. After calculating for a while, a few small arrays were broken by Han Yan.
This formation was actually also made from countless small formations, and then they fused together to form a great formation.
The array's layout was much more profound than the current array's, and one could see many magic array s among them. If it was a cultivator that didn't know formations, they would easily be trapped inside and be unable to continue calculating. Han Yan had already deciphered so many array formations in the Golden Crow Continent, and had even researched more array formations in the Tian Luo Continent, so his comprehension of array formations had already reached an unimaginable level. No matter how powerful the array formations were, as long as he focused on analyzing them, he would be able to break it.
Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
In these three days, Han Yan maintained the same action, and when he suddenly looked over, it was as if he had lost his soul. Not only had Han Yan broken through the huge array in front of him, he had also thoroughly studied it. As long as he had some time, he could lay the same formation, and its power was even stronger than the formation.
Han Yan suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing across his eyes, and then hidden within his pupils.
Qin Xiong and Chen Yue had been protecting Han Yan the entire time. When they saw Han Yan wake up, they asked him the same time: "How's it going?"
Han Yan shot a glance at the direction of the valley and said: "The formation has been broken, let's look for the location of the treasure first!"
The three of them turned into a streak of light and flew into the valley.
In a few moments, the three of them arrived at the valley.
In terms of appearance, the Heavenly Valley was about the same as the ZhongTian Valley that they had entered back then, but it took up a much larger area.
Looking at the huge valley in front of him, Qin Xiong couldn't help but ask: "I really want to know, just what are the uses of such a huge valley."
Although Chen Yue had heard about the situation in the Nine Heavens Valley, he did not know anything about the uses of the valley. At this moment, hearing what Qin Xiong said, Chen Yue became curious, and asked Han Yan: "Han Yan, you are a cultivator that is born in the Ten Directions Continent, you should know the purpose of this valley, right?"
If he had asked any other cultivators, they would probably not have known about this. However Han Yan and Xiao Yuyao had stayed in the valley for so many years, they had long since figured out the uses of the valley. Seeing their curious faces, Han Yan answered: "Of these ten great valleys, besides one being used for trading, the other nine, according to the level of the nine heavens, are where the nine strongest people of the continent cultivate."
When he said this, the two of them opened their eyes wide once again. Qin Xiong was a little confused: "In such a big valley, you're training by yourself?"
Chen Yue also felt that it was hard to believe, and said: "Even though the spirit energy in the valley is dense, a person's cultivation, it's simply too wasteful."
Regarding this, Han Yan previously could not understand either, but now he had a unique insight, and said: "The higher the cultivation, the more spiritual energy you will need to cultivate. ancient times was full of them, especially the strong ones, the amount of spirit energy needed to cultivate was hard to imagine. If my guess is right, these experts have set up a powerful Spiritual Concentration Array in the valley, gathering their spirit energy by their side, and are cultivating with all their might. " He paused for a moment before continuing: "I have been here before and there are traces of medicinal herbs left in the valley. It can be seen that countless herbs have been planted here."
When the two heard this, they felt that Han Yan's analysis was logical. Qin Xiong nodded and said: "Let's go! The location of the treasure is at the end of the valley, let's go take a look. " With that, he flew towards the end of the valley in a flash. Han Yan and Chen Yue looked at each other and followed closely.
