Chapter 1413 - 1411: Everyone Searches for Treasure
"Boom boom..."
Suddenly, a series of booming sounds echoed around the square, and immediately from the mouths of the four divine beast statues, pale golden mist began to billow out, quickly coalescing in the center of the square into an incredible sight — a wall several hundred feet wide.
Seeing this spectacle, everyone was stunned, unable to fathom its meaning. Just as their confusion peaked, a dynamic image appeared on the wall...
A child, appearing no more than four or five years old, sat on the ground cultivating, enveloped in pale golden Gang Qi. As the cultivation continued, the Gang Qi began to morph into various shapes, eventually appearing like sun and moon floating behind the child.
Beside this child were two creatures resembling legendary Divine Beasts as guardians, behind the child, an unknown forest stretched out, striking for its fiery red giant trees instead of green, surrounded by visible red Spiritual Energy!
What...what is going on?
Who is this child!
How...how is this possible, a four or five-year-old child reaching the Divine Change Realm...
...
Witnessing this scene, everyone was utterly astonished and could hardly believe what they were seeing; the child on the wall was evidently at the Divine Change Realm, and guarded by Divine Beasts; that mysterious red forest was unnaturally eerie. They speculated about the child’s true identity...
Is this?
Lin Feng was taken aback by the sight; he was equally interested in the child on the wall — a child reaching the Divine Change Realm at such a tender age was unfathomable under normal circumstances.
But suddenly, he froze entirely; gazing at the child, he felt an extraordinarily peculiar sensation. He abruptly realized this was Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal’s mansion ruins; if such a wall appeared here, who else could it be but the Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal himself?
The thought brought him to a standstill; he had an indistinct belief that the wall’s appearance was a deliberate act by the Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal, and what it truly meant could only be understood when the right opportunity arose.
In the blink of an eye, two to three two-hours passed. During this period, the child on the wall made only a few adjustments to his cultivation posture, while the two Divine Beasts remained motionless around him, prompting impatience among the crowd, puzzled why Lin Feng was fixated on this wall, which seemed uninteresting — just a child cultivating, not worth watching.
"Let’s go!"
The first to speak was Su Zhong, frustrated by the lack of value in staying here; he didn’t want to squander more time and opted to explore this Yuanxu Heavenly Realm — being Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal’s mansion ruins, any treasure found would be practically otherworldly, so wasting time here was futile.
Having spoken, he led his group directly toward the eastern part of the square. He had already used Divine Sense to investigate; the main hall ahead contained nothing but a large banner bearing the words "Sky and Earth," but there were several side halls to the east, which surely contained something.
"Let’s go too,"
Chen Qing noticed Su Zhong heading east and considered for a moment before addressing the Hidden World cultivators. He too felt the wall offered nothing of interest, and since Su Zhong was treasure-hunting to the east, he decided to lead his group to the west, avoiding encounters with Su Zhong’s Human Immortal Realm Powerhouses — everyone would rely on their luck.
The other Hidden World cultivators agreed with Chen Qing’s proposal, and their group that entered with nearly a hundred people had dwindled to less than twenty. If care wasn’t taken, they could all perish, prompting immediate departure with Chen Qing toward the west to seek treasure.
With everyone gone, Xia Guangze and the four Human Immortal Realm Powerhouses grew anxious for a chance to hunt treasure. The Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal’s ruins surely contained numerous super treasures, including the Heavenly Immortal legacy they cared most about; they were unwilling to remain here watching Lin Feng stare at this dull wall. But with Lin Feng silent, expressing it directly felt awkward, leaving them in an embarrassing standstill.
Likewise, Xia Yan, Song Hong, and others grew restless at this juncture; they had come far and wanted to treasure hunt. If they could obtain a cultivation technique that could bolster their family’s rise or stumble upon Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal’s legacy, all the better. But as Lin Feng stared at the wall lost in thought, they struggled to voice their intentions and could only stew in impatience.
Leng Hao and the Old Monster had long lost interest in observing the wall; it wasn’t about them failing to discern its unique aspects, but they truly couldn’t see anything significant, shifting their gaze instead to the surrounding structures, itching to embark on treasure hunts.
Though Lin Feng appeared entranced by the child’s cultivation within the wall, he noted the crowd’s reactions through Divine Sense. After a brief consideration, he spoke to them: "If you want to seek treasure, go ahead; don’t mind me. I should understand what’s in here, so seek safely. There’s no need to contend with others unless something truly special arises; prioritize your safety above all. If you encounter danger, retreat decisively; preserving your life is paramount before anything else."
Lin Feng’s words echoed his plan — the place was vast, and any danger could prove unreachable for rescue, thus valuing safety allowed him to concentrate fully on the wall without distraction.
"Rest assured, we know what to do."
"We’re leaving now."
"We’re heading out too."
"Brother-in-law, I’m leaving too."
...
Hearing Lin Feng’s advice, everyone bid him farewell and departed; with safety in mind, they understood what actions to take, especially since Lin Feng indicated familiarity with the contents inside, eliminating the need to fight over treasures. Safety should be manageable.
By now, only Lin Feng remained on the square absorbed in the wall, the more he watched the child’s cultivation, the stronger his special feeling grew, gradually developing insights on cultivation — this fortuitous encounter prompted Lin Feng to discard all other concerns.
None noticed Wang Batian’s disappearance; upon arriving on the square, Wang Batian had quietly slipped away without anyone detecting his absence. As he left, a ruthless smile gleamed in his eyes toward Lin Feng; once he seized that thing, everyone here would die. Then Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal’s legacy would belong solely to him, permitting no unforeseen incidents...

"Damn it, why do these elixirs have these energy shields, it’s infuriating!"
Su Zhong fumed at the sight of the elixirs protected by energy shields before him. Upon spotting the hidden Alchemy Pavilion, Divine Sense confirmed it held elixirs, prompting his group’s excursion; sure enough, they found legendary pills like Peerless Heaven Defying Pill, Nine Lives Resurrection Pill, and Dragon Bone Heaven Mending Pill. Their abundance nearly made him faint from excitement.
Frustratingly, the elixirs were shielded by energy barriers, different from the earlier ones surrounding the herb fields that could be shattered. He had already tried, exerting full strength to no avail, driving him nearly insane; the treasures stood within reach yet couldn’t be seized, aggravating Su Zhong into madness.
"Senior Brother, let’s consider other methods; the Yuanxu Heavenly Immortal wouldn’t place impossible energy shields; other solutions likely exist to deactivate them. Once the shields are deactivated, we can surely claim the elixirs within."
Su Qi, noticing Su Zhong’s turbulent emotions, proactively spoke, hoping to calm his mood. They had just arrived, and haste was unnecessary; if the elixirs were shielded, they would find a way.
The others awaited direction, initially trying simpler methods upon entry. Finding no means to breach the barriers, they could only sigh in disappointment. Nonetheless, they hadn’t given up; if the Heavenly Immortal mansion treasures were easily accessible, it would be suspicious. Thus, their focus remained on finding the quickest way to disable the shields.
"Alas..."
Su Zhong sighed at Su Qi’s words, appreciative of his junior sister’s concerns. Yet, his desire to quickly obtain the elixirs drove him; bolstering his strength elicited a peculiar feeling. He sensed potential danger during this visit to the Heavenly Immortal mansion, and the intensity of this feeling grew, prompting his impatience for self-preservation.
Yet, the sensation lacked evidence, preventing any explanation to Su Qi and others; he could only stew in impatience alone. However, the growing sense of danger baffled him — earlier challenges passed smoothly, theoretically eliminating further threats here, so whence did this sense of danger originate?
