Chapter 13 Beneath the Lake Center Island, Secret of the Treasury!
A lake stretched for tens of kilometers from east to west, with a small island in the center. The vegetation on the island was lush.
The spiritual energy here was three parts denser than in other places.
Within the lake surrounding the small island, several colossal creatures could be vaguely seen swimming inside.
The aura casually leaked by them caused the demon beasts within a radius of five kilometers on the shore to prostrate on the ground.
At this time.
Above the slightly gloomy firmament, an ordinary demon beast bird three meters long flew down from the clouds.
Lin Xuan, standing on top of this flying bird, saw the island in the center of the lake below. He executed the Great Void Technique to conceal himself in the void and descended toward the island below on his own.
Swoosh!
At the same time. Beneath the dark lake water, a pitch-black and swift afterimage instantly tore through the void and emitted a piercing sound. It pierced through that demon beast bird, causing it to fall into the lake and disappear without a trace.
After Lin Xuan stepped onto the lake center island.
He went straight for a pitch-black stone cave on the island. A black hole was carved out on a smooth cliff, looking like a giant beast opening its large mouth, waiting for prey to come to its door.
"Swoosh!"
Lin Xuan flew over from the spatial gap. The Wings of Creation behind him flapped abruptly, and he entered the stone cave riding a gust of gale.
He traveled for about three hundred meters.
His path was blocked by a giant gate covered in rust. The iron gate was full of verdigris, and an ancient aura pounced on his face.
The main gate was tightly closed!
Lin Xuan walked forward. Reaching half a meter from the iron gate, he extended his right hand and caressed the exquisite totem patterns on the iron gate.
It felt exceptionally cool to the touch, not bone-biting like ice.
"Open for me!"
Lin Xuan wanted to try and see if he could blast it open with brute force.
A giant force of five hundred thousand kilograms exploded from his right arm; his entire right arm swelled by a circle as he pressed it ruthlessly against the iron gate of the treasury.
Boom...
A muffled sound like thunder trembled and echoed throughout the empty cave. At the same time, some crushed stones fell from both sides of the iron gate.
After one palm strike, this iron gate did not move at all...
"It seems there is a specialized Door God guarding it!"
Seeing that brute force could not blast it open, there was not a trace of panic in Lin Xuan's eyes, only indifference.
Subsequently.
Lin Xuan took out that map fragment. Relying on the memory of his main account from before, his hands struck out several complex ancient magic seals.
At the same time, Lin Xuan's lips moved slightly, and a segment of profound musical notes flew out.
This was the Spirit Detainment Technique he imitated!
This technique originally did not need to borrow external objects, but because Lin Xuan had not extracted the complete version of this technique, he could only rely on memory to perfect it as much as possible.
Buzz!
The void trembled, and a bald man shining all over flew out from the void.
Lin Xuan swept a glance and executed the detection function.
Nickname: Treasury Door God
Race: Artifact Spirit
Level: Void Refining Ninth Heaven
Main Skill: None
"It really is a Door God!"
A look of joy appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes. Under the control of the Spirit Detainment Technique, this Treasury Door God could only be temporarily controlled by Lin Xuan.
However, because the Spirit Detainment Technique was imitated, its efficacy seemed insufficient to maintain for even twenty seconds.
Moreover, no one dared to guarantee whether this Door God, after recovering consciousness, would vent his anger on Lin Xuan due to being controlled.
Lin Xuan directly ordered him to use his authority to open the sealed gate of the treasury.
At this time, Lin Xuan also seemed to sense the restlessness outside. It seemed there was a berserk beast running wildly on the island, causing the entire small island to be affected and tremble slightly.
Outside.
After hearing that loud noise like muffled thunder, the demon beast guarding the island knew someone had quietly sneaked onto the small island.
He directly transformed into a half-demon form, becoming a burly man in black armor with a crocodile head. His dark green vertical pupils were filled with tyrannical intent.
With thick and powerful lower limbs, every step landing on the island could deeply trample a shocking small pit into the hard rocks. The momentum was extremely astonishing.
Almost in an instant, this crocodile demon crossed a distance of several hundred meters. Like a steel monster loaded with cargo and installed with rocket thrusters, he charged into the black hole leading to the treasury gateway.
"Found him!"
When this crocodile demon was a hundred meters away from the bronze iron gate, Lin Xuan, who was about to enter the gateway, appeared in his line of sight.
The crocodile demon's vertical pupils contracted, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
As the guarding demon beast of the Beiming Great Emperor's treasury, he naturally knew the requirements to enter.
It required a complete treasury map and the power of the Tribulation Transcending Realm to trigger the power of the treasure map, enabling the Door God to open the main gate.
But now, the scene occurring before his eyes completely exceeded his expectations.
Just now, he had completely failed to sense the aura of the treasure map.
Boom!
Unable to stop Lin Xuan, this crocodile demon could only angrily raise his fist and smash it ruthlessly onto the giant bronze gate.
The Door God on the side also finally recovered his consciousness. He was somewhat dazed by his own actions just now; after recovering, his eyes held more dread.
At this time.
Lin Xuan had entered the other end of the gate.
In his line of sight was a palace pitch-black throughout. It could be seen that the palace of this treasury was part of a whole.
Although the realm of the Beiming Great Emperor was inferior to the main account he had cultivated to the peak level back then, his strength belonged to the forefront among the Great Emperors of the Middle Ancient Era.
This treasury inheritance was merely one of his many inheritances.
Lin Xuan looked up.
A scorching wheel of fire emitted light that illuminated the entire palace.
After Lin Xuan stepped into the palace, he carefully inspected it. Within this dilapidated part of the palace, there was a study where the Beiming Great Emperor had resided.
He pushed open the door of the study.
What entered his vision were a table, a bookshelf, and a writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone; the ink among them had already dried up.
Lin Xuan merely glanced at them and then ignored them.
These writing materials and books were supreme treasures to other cultivators, but to Lin Xuan, who possessed a max-level Immortal Emperor account, they were merely trash.
The only thing he could slightly regard with importance in this treasury was the supreme inheritance of the Beiming Great Emperor, the "Beiming Divine Art".
This was a cultivation method specifically designed to counter the Demon Race.
Thinking back to when the treasury of the Beiming Great Emperor opened, many mighty figures of the Demon Race came to this Hengduan Mountain Range to snatch this item.
Both sides sacrificed quite a few mighty powerhouses above the Dao Integration Realm.
It seemed the final result was that the latter third of this Beiming Divine Art was snatched away, becoming an incomplete cultivation method that could only be cultivated to the Void Refining Realm.
The Demon Race was slightly superior!
Now that Lin Xuan had transmigrated here, the Beiming Divine Art this time was complete.
Inside the study was the cultivation room used by the Beiming Great Emperor.
The layout inside the cultivation room was simple, with only a prayer mat and a portrait of the Beiming Great Emperor.
After Lin Xuan walked into the cultivation room, that portrait of the Beiming Great Emperor seemed to come alive. Countless profound runes flew out from it and condensed into a scripture of runes.
On the scripture, four large golden characters were written with vigorous power: "Beiming Divine Art".
