Chapter 592: Entering the Tianxuan Treasure Hall
A sudden spatial fluctuation caused the entire mountain peak to pause slightly. Instantly, after just a moment, all eyes on the giant peak turned sharply toward the void.
There, sunlight poured down from the sky, and several elderly figures slowly appeared in the gaze of the crowd.
The leading figure had an old face and was dressed in a white robe, looking like a kindly old man from next door. However, those with a keen eye could sense that the terrifying aura emanating from him was in no way inferior to that of the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower or the Supreme Lord of the Soul Hall.
Another Dou Saint expert had arrived!
"Oh, it's Elder Gukong. I didn't expect you to show up," the Pill Tower's Grand Elder remarked with slight surprise as he saw the white-robed elder appear.
This Gukong, a veteran Dou Saint expert from the Gu Clan, had not shown his face on the continent for hundreds of years. Yet today, he had come in person for the Tianxuan Treasure Hall.
"It's the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower. It's been a long time, and you still look as vigorous as ever," Gukong lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at the person opposite him. Then, as if something occurred to him, he asked the same question as the Supreme Lord.
"The Tianxuan Treasure Hall is a treasure for blacksmiths. Why has the Pill Tower taken an interest in it?"
Hearing this, the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower calmly replied, "The Dao is simple and universal; different paths lead to the same destination. Alchemy and blacksmithing share many similarities. We at the Pill Tower also wish to explore the true mysteries of blacksmithing, which might offer insights and improvements for our alchemical skills."
Gukong nodded slightly at the explanation, then turned his gaze toward the Supreme Lord not far away and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "The Soul Clan is becoming more and more unruly. Now, even Dou Saint experts dare to step into the Eastern Region?"
Faced with Gukong's question, the Supreme Lord's expression turned fearful. Unlike the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower, the Gu Clan was the true archenemy of the Soul Clan.
"Hmph, didn't you, Gukong, also leave the Gu Realm? Judging by your stance, I assume you've gathered quite a few of the Tianxuan Treasure Hall tokens," the Supreme Lord sneered.
Gukong frowned slightly at the Supreme Lord's barbed remarks, knowing it would only lead to a pointless argument. He chose to ignore him, but his cloudy old eyes suddenly focused on Mo Yu, a glint of light flashing in them as he slowly spoke.
"To think that the Lei Clan has produced someone with divine blood and one so young who has already become a Dou Saint. Truly remarkable."
Even though the Gu Clan also had a divine-blooded member, Xiao Xun'er, her talent was slightly inferior compared to Mo Yu. What's more, Mo Yu had already broken through to the Dou Saint level, making his strength not much weaker than Gukong's own.
"Greetings, Elder Gukong. This junior was merely fortunate to break through to Dou Saint," Mo Yu respectfully nodded in acknowledgment of the kind elder from the Gu Clan.
Taking advantage of the moment, the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower also exchanged a few words with Mo Yu. After all, both Mo Yu and his clan, Yuanfu, had grown into formidable forces. Even though the Pill Tower had stood atop the continent for a long time, they had to avoid conflict with such rising powers.
At this point, the conversation between the Dou Saint experts floating in mid-air stirred up a commotion among the crowd on the mountain. No one had expected several Dou Saint legends to appear at the same time.
The sudden appearance of the Gu Clan, the true rulers behind the Eastern Region, also caused quite a stir.
Amid this atmosphere, time slowly passed. After about half an hour, Mo Yu ended his conversation and narrowed his eyes as he gazed into the depths of the mountain range. Moments later, his eyes sharpened as he sensed a slight tremor in the ground.
"Be careful," Mo Yu immediately warned Zihuo and the Old Demon Tianming beside him as he noticed the subtle change.
Swoosh!
Not long after the tremor, an excited uproar suddenly erupted across the sky. The crowd then saw golden light soaring into the sky from the depths of the mountain range.
Rumble!
The ground trembled violently, and Lin Dong could see that two distant mountains seemed to be moving. From the gap between them, the golden light burst forth.
Golden light intertwined as countless people rose to their feet. All eyes were fixed on that light, and finally, they saw it—a colossal, ancient palace, indescribably old, slowly tore through the earth in a breathtaking display, eventually standing tall in this world.
The Tianxuan Treasure Hall had finally appeared!
The entire mountain peak shook violently as golden light erupted from the depths of the mountain range. At the place where the light was thickest, a golden ancient hall slowly emerged under the gaze of countless greedy and fervent eyes.
"Is that the Tianxuan Treasure Hall?"
Mo Yu also stared at the ancient palace bathed in golden light, a trace of shock in his eyes. He could sense an extremely ancient aura emanating from the hall, an aura so ancient it felt primordial.
The radiant golden light flowed like liquid around the ancient hall. It seemed weak, but Mo Yu could feel an indestructible presence within it.
"The Tianxuan Treasure Hall has finally appeared!"
At this moment, countless figures swarmed into the sky like locusts, their gazes locked onto the ancient hall, while the noisy chatter reached its peak.
Mo Yu glanced around and noticed that all the different factions were beginning to stir. Even the Soul Hall, the Tian Yao Phoenix Clan, the Pill Tower, and the Gu Clan—the four strongest forces—showed signs of movement.
Clearly, the temptation of the Tianxuan Treasure Hall was so great that even Dou Saint experts found it hard to remain calm.
"Brother, according to the old guys in the clan, few have ever entered the Tianxuan Treasure Hall. But every time it opens, some weapons fly out, though their quality is generally mediocre. To obtain the true treasures, you need the mysterious tokens to enter the hall itself," Zihuo explained.
Mo Yu's eyes flickered as he nodded. With so many people coveting the treasure hall and eleven tokens in play, the competition was fierce.
As Zihuo spoke, the golden light in the depths of the mountain range grew to its peak, and the ancient hall had fully stabilized on the ground. The ancient and primordial aura made people feel a deep sense of awe.
The tremors in the earth gradually subsided, and the ancient hall stood quietly, causing the entire mountain range to fall into silence.
However, the heavy breathing coming from all directions revealed the terrifying undercurrent hidden beneath this silence.
Mo Yu's silver eyes fixed on the ancient hall. After a moment, his pupils shrank sharply. The golden light surrounding the hall suddenly intensified, like a blazing sun rising in the mountains.
Swoosh!
A golden river of light shot out from the ancient hall, then bent and formed a golden ring that hovered above the hall.
The golden ring spun rapidly, and in the next instant, countless glowing orbs of various colors emerged from it, each emitting a strong aura.
"Weapons are appearing?!"
As these glowing orbs appeared, the entire mountain range immediately boiled with excitement. Countless eyes turned red with greed, as people seemed to be turning into beasts.
Although these weapons weren't of high quality for Dou Saints or Dou Venerables, for ordinary people, they were rare and valuable treasures.
Seeing so many desirable weapons, the onlookers became extremely eager.
Buzz! Buzz!
The golden ring spun faster and faster, and the countless glowing orbs followed its motion. As it spun, beams of light suddenly shot out from the ring.
Boom!
As the beams of light shot out, the mountain range erupted into complete chaos. Those who had been restraining themselves now surged forward like locusts, their sheer numbers blotting out the sky.
Bang! Bang!
Beams of light streaked across the sky, and within those beams, one could vaguely see various shapes.
But as each beam shot out, it didn't even reach a thousand meters before it was swallowed up by the dense crowds. What followed was a fierce scramble, as battle energy erupted and fists clashed, filling the air with a cacophony of miserable screams.
It was clear that snatching treasures from so many people was no easy task.
In mid-air, Mo Yu watched the wild chaos with cold eyes, but he had no intention of making a move.
The items emerging from the golden ring were merely low-tier objects, most not even reaching seventh-grade quality.
However, despite their low value, they were still precious to many, so it wasn't surprising that this fierce battle broke out.
"The real treasures are still inside," Mo Yu murmured, his gaze fixed on the giant golden ring spinning above the ancient hall. Occasionally, he saw dazzlingly bright orbs within the ring.
However, these orbs seemed bound by the ring's power and couldn't break free, only spinning wildly within.
The chaos in the mountains continued to intensify as more beams of light shot out from the golden ring. The bloodthirsty atmosphere thickened, enveloping the entire mountain range in a palpable tension.
Mo Yu and his companions stood quietly atop the mountain, unaffected by the swirling madness around them. Similarly, the four great factions—the Tian Yao Phoenix Clan, the Pill Tower, the Soul Hall, and the Gu Clan—remained calm.
Along with Mo Yu and Zihuo, these were the five strongest contenders for the treasures in the Leiyuan Mountain Range.
For several minutes, this quiet waiting continued. Suddenly, from the Tian Yao Phoenix Clan's camp, a figure shot into the air. It was Kunhuang, one of the three great phoenixes of the clan.
"The Tian Yao Phoenix Clan, every one of them is scum. One day, I'll pluck every feather off them," Zihuo growled coldly as he looked at the figure.
In the past, Zihuo had been cornered by the Three Little Phoenixes of the Tian Yao Phoenix Clan due to a blood feud. If it hadn't been for Mo Yu and Uncle Snake stepping in, the entire Fierce Lion Tribe might have been wiped out.
Thus, for Zihuo, the Tian Yao Phoenix Clan was utterly unforgivable.
Mo Yu, understanding his hatred, nodded slightly but kept his gaze fixed on Kunhuang.
At that moment, Kunhuang hovered in mid-air, clenched his hand, and a mysterious token appeared. With a flick of his wrist, the token transformed into a dark golden light ribbon that wrapped around him.
Buzz!
Kunhuang's massive body, now encased in the dark golden ribbon, suddenly shot into the golden ring. Without any resistance, he smoothly entered the Tianxuan Treasure Hall.
Wow!
Seeing this caused a huge stir among the crowd. No one expected that the mysterious token would actually allow entry into the Tianxuan Treasure Hall.
Even the scattered weapons outside were already of immense value, enough to tempt even low-tier Dou Venerables. If someone managed to enter the Tianxuan Treasure Hall, they could easily walk out with a divine weapon capable of dominating the continent.
"I heard that the Tian Yao Phoenix Clan's mysterious token was originally a gift from a magical beast family to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, but the phoenixes intercepted it. It seems that things aren't going well for Zi Yan," Zihuo said, withdrawing his gaze with a heavy tone.
Hearing this, Mo Yu frowned slightly. If his guess was right, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was indeed facing internal strife. When the time came, he would have to intervene.
Once the internal conflict was resolved, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan could finally unify and move forward.
At that moment, as Kunhuang successfully entered the Tianxuan Treasure Hall without incident, the other three major factions—the Soul Hall, Pill Tower, and Gu Clan—could no longer hold back. They, too, rushed forward.
The Supreme Lord and Second Lord of the Soul Hall each held a mysterious token, as did the two elders from the Pill Tower. What surprised Mo Yu, however, was that the Gu Clan, including Elder Gukong, pulled out four mysterious tokens at once. As expected from the rulers of the Eastern Region.
Without hesitation, each group followed Kunhuang's process. Encased in the dark golden ribbons created by their tokens, they entered the Tianxuan Treasure Hall with no resistance.
The Supreme Lord, upon entering, cast a sinister glance at Mo Yu.
Mo Yu merely snorted coldly, not caring at all. But seeing everyone else enter, he decided not to wait any longer. Turning to Zihuo, he said, "Let's go in as well. But if we get separated, be cautious."
"Understood," Zihuo nodded respectfully.
With that, Mo Yu gave a few more instructions to the Old Demon Tianming beside him, and then he and Zihuo flew toward the Tianxuan Treasure Hall.
Mo Yu's eyes fixed on the golden ring before him, his gaze flickering. With a wave of his hand, the Divine Weapon Token appeared.
As soon as the token emerged, the Tianxuan Treasure Hall began to tremble, golden light shining brightly. Waves of golden light rushed toward Mo Yu's position.
The next moment, as Mo Yu's body touched the golden ring, he mysteriously passed through and entered the Tianxuan Treasure Hall. (End of Chapter)
