Chapter 617: Going well


    This newly appeared portal is the entrance to the treasure repository. However, the appearance of the portal does not mean that the road ahead will be smooth. If it is not opened ording to the predetermined method but forcefully intruded upon, it will not only trigger the bacsh of protective restrictions but may also lead to theplete copse of the entire space.


    Meng Zhang stood alone before the portal, holding a jade token in his hand, reciting an incantation loudly. After a moment, the portal trembled violently, and ripples of light spread across the water curtain, revealing arge gap.


    Meng Zhang quietly instructed the other three people to follow closely behind him. Then, he waved the jade token in his hand, emitting a faint light that enveloped everyone. Under Meng Zhang''s lead, they all leaped into the gap ahead.


    After a dizzying and disorienting feeling, Meng Zhang and the others arrived in a massive stone chamber. This chamber was like a grand hall, tall and wide, with rows of shelves lining the surrounding walls. The shelves were filled with boxes of various sizes and numerous jade slips.


    On the floor of the stone chamber,rge boxes were piled up. Meng Zhang casually kicked open one of the boxes, and it was filled with low-grade spirit stones. He then opened another box, revealing refined Xuanjin (a precious metal).


    Meng Zhang nced around; there were at least hundreds of boxes in the chamber. If they were all filled with spirit stones and rare materials, it would be an astronomical number. However, these boxes contained low-end items, primarily valued for their quantity. The truly precious treasures were on the surrounding shelves.


    Meng Zhang walked to a shelf not far from the east wall of the chamber and randomly took out several boxes, gently opening them. Inside were Second Rank Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, a high-quality magic tool, and Second Rank elixirs...


    He also randomly picked up three jade slips and read their contents. One jade slip contained records of transactions in this ck market, which had be worthless after several centuries. The other two jade slips contained a cultivation technique from a small family and a very obscure medicinal recipe.


    Knowing that they were here to explore the treasure repository, both Meng Zhang and Extreme Sword Spirit General brought manyrge-capacity storage magic tools. However, even with these tools, it would not be enough to move the entire treasure repository.There were many valuable items in the repository, but due to the hasty escape of the previous owner, the ce was somewhat chaotic and disorganized. Meng Zhang and the others needed to spend considerable time organizing and selecting the most valuable items to take with them.


    But before that, Meng Zhang needed to find the items Daoist Master ck Fox had requested. ording to the description provided by Daoist Master ck Fox, Meng Zhang went to the east wall of the chamber.


    He activated his True Essence and gently moved aside an incredibly heavy row of shelves. He then extended his right index finger, infused it with True Essence, and drew several mysterious runes on the wall. He took out the jade token and ced it in the center of the runes, sticking it tightly to the wall.


    After a moment, the wall cracked open, revealing another row of shelves behind it. At the top of these shelves was a jet-ck pearl the size of a baby''s head. This was the treasure Daoist Master ck Fox had been longing for and reminiscing about for hundreds of years.


    Daoist Master ck Fox hadn''t disclosed the details of the item to Meng Zhang but had described its appearance. He had also told Meng Zhang that if he could safely bring back this pearl, he could im all the other treasures in the repository for himself. At the same time, Luo YeDaoist Master had gone to great lengths and taken risks toe here for this pearl.


    Apart from this pearl, there were six other boxes on the shelf. Though they hadn''t been opened yet, the fact that they were ced together with the pearl in such a hidden ce indicated their considerable value.


    Meng Zhang stepped back and gestured for Luo YeDaoist Master to approach. Luo YeDaoist Master smiled, not needing many words to express her gratitude. She walked up and collected the pearl.


    As for the other boxes apanying the pearl, Luo YeDaoist Master didn''t even spare them a nce. Meng Zhang didn''t hesitate either and opened each of the six boxes, temporarily storing their contents. He knew he could take his time to sort them outside.


    Luo YeDaoist Master finally achieved her goal and let out a sigh of relief. After so much nning and effort, it hadn''t been in vain.


    Just then, Extreme Sword Spirit General furrowed his brow and said to Meng Zhang, "Sect Master, do you sense it?"


    Upon hearing this, Meng Zhang didn''t dare to be careless and immediately began to carefully sense his surroundings but found nothing amiss. Luo YeDaoist Master and Jue YingDaoist Master also started to sense their surroundings but didn''t detect anything unusual. Having witnessed Extreme Sword Spirit General''s ability to detect information, they knew he wouldn''t speak without reason.


    Jue YingDaoist Master couldn''t help but nce at Extreme Sword Spirit General, suspecting that he might be overly cautious and suspicious. However, at this moment, Meng Zhang''s keen Spiritual Awareness finally alerted him. Following the guidance of his Spiritual Awareness, he used his Deception Breaking Eye to carefully examine the outside of the stone chamber and then used his Divine Sense to thoroughly investigate, finally understanding what had happened.


    "This isted space is slowly copsing," Meng Zhang revealed his discovery. With Meng Zhang''s reminder, Luo YeDaoist Master and Jue YingDaoist Master carefully investigated and also discovered the situation.


    When Luo YeDaoist Master and Jue YingDaoist Master used their Divine Abilities to investigate, Meng Zhang and Extreme Sword Spirit General didn''t idle either; they quickly began collecting various items inside the stone chamber.


    "After this isted space was opened, the ongoing space storms are gradually eroding it. It requires regr maintenance to remain stable."


    "This ce hasn''t been visited for hundreds of years; maintenance was out of the question," Luo YeDaoist Masterbined her understanding of the ce and made her judgment.


    Seeing Meng Zhang and Extreme Sword Spirit General eager to collect items, she asked in confusion, "Even if this space is going to copse, it won''t happen overnight. Hundreds of years have passed, it can''t possibly copse exactly at this moment. We shouldn''t be so unlucky, right?"


    "True, from my perspective, this isted space can support itself for another ten or eight years," Jue YingDaoist Master added.


    "This space won''t copse immediately. However, during the process of copse, it will continuously release intense space fluctuations," Meng Zhang said with a bitter smile, expressing his concerns.


    He hadn''t finished speaking, but everyone understood his meaning. This isted space had been sealed. All space fluctuations were confined here and hadn''t spread outside. But once Meng Zhang opened this long-sealed space, the previously confined space fluctuations could no longer be restrained; they would uncontrobly spread outward.


    Due to the unique space fluctuations sensed by Extreme Sword Spirit General, he reminded Meng Zhang, who then realized the situation.


    Even Gold Core cultivators present could detect these special space fluctuations. Nearby in Lake-Blue City was a Barbarian King with Divine Abilities vast enough to suppress a Primordial Spirit True Monarch. Sooner orter, he would sense the space fluctuations here ande to investigate.


    With Meng Zhang''s reminder, Luo YeDaoist Master and Jue YingDaoist Master also understood the situation. They stopped wasting time on words and immediately joined the efforts to collect items.


    Although Luo YeDaoist Master had achieved her goal by obtaining the pearl, how could she leave empty-handed when she had an opportunity to obtain vast cultivation resources? Practically every cultivator wouldn''t mind being too rich or having too many cultivation resources.


    In reality, Luo YeDaoist Master and Jue YingDaoist Master, despite belonging to a powerful force like the Dark Alliance, had also experienced times when theycked cultivation resources.


    Even if all four of them filled every storage magic tool they had on their person, it still wouldn''t be enough topletely empty such arge treasure repository. Furthermore, some special treasures couldn''t be directly ced into storage magic tools.


    For instance, Meng Zhang had just discovered several sealed boxes on a shelf. When he opened them, they were all Void Nether Stones, each the size of an adult''s fist.


    Void Nether Stones were spiritual objects with extremely strong spatial properties and couldn''t be ced directly into ordinary storage magic tools. Otherwise, the spatial power asionally released by them would damage the storage space of the magic tool.


    Simrly, one storage magic tool couldn''t be directly ced inside another storage magic tool. Space magic tools couldn''t be stacked directly and required special handling.


    The mostmon method was to find an exceptionally stable space magic tool, like the Hundred Grass Pavilion ced in Taiyi Sect''s mountain gate at Hundred Grass Slope. Other space magic tools could be ced inside it because the independent space within the Hundred Grass Pavilion wasrge and stable enough to withstand any spatial influence.


    The Hundred Grass Pavilion was a valuable inheritance of Layered Mystery Sect and hard toe by. Meng Zhang was incredibly fortunate to possess it. Obtaining another one would not be a simple task.


    In fact, the isted space they were currently in was barely qualified for this purpose. However, transnting such arge isted space onto a magic tool was something even most Third Rank tool refiners couldn''t achieve.


    As Meng Zhang rapidly sifted through and collected various items, he couldn''t help but sigh inwardly that doing business in the ck market was indeed a path to wealth.


    This treasure repository contained far more cultivation resources than an average Gold Core sect. Meng Zhang estimated that even the Taiyi Sect''s current main treasury might not be as affluent.


    Of course, the reason for this was also that Taiyi Sect had risen rtively recently and hadn''t had enough time to umte substantial resources.
