Chapter 844 - 932: Eight Initial Grade Dao Artifacts

"Old stubborn fool." The beautiful woman couldn’t help but let out a cold snort upon hearing Yu Yuanshan’s words.

Su Mengyan seemed indifferent, continuing to smile charmingly at Zhao Yping.

However, Zhao Yping avoided Su Mengyan’s gaze under Yu Yuanshan’s scolding.

"Li Meng from the Joyful Union Sect is here as well; it seems the items in this Tomb Mansion are quite significant." Zuoqiu Yiren, although unfamiliar with the recent famous prodigies, recognized the beautiful woman on the bed.

She was also a Unity Realm expert.

Yu Yuanshan didn’t mind Li Meng’s snort, glanced at the Array below, and whispered, "Since we’re here, shall we make a move?"

"Are you confident?"

Even though Yu Yuanshan was the Elder responsible for teaching Arrays at Cyan Cloud Mountain and was ranked among the top in Primordial Heaven in the ways of Arrays, this was an ancient Array. Even she felt apprehensive, unable to avoid some worry.

"I’m not entirely confident in completely unraveling it, but opening a passageway through it is no problem. Before you arrived, I discovered a flaw in this Array, which requires some rare treasures to exploit." Yu Yuanshan confidently stated, staring at the Array below.

Li Meng rolled her eyes at him, understanding Yu Yuanshan’s intentions. Upon learning of the needed treasures, she swept her hand over the jade hairpin on her head, bringing forth two wooden boxes into her hand and handed them to Yu Yuanshan.

As Yu Yuanshan took the two boxes and prepared to make a move, Li Meng glanced at the crowd below and transmitted, "Are they just going to reap the benefits without contributing?"

Li Meng worried that once the passage was opened, if everyone below rushed in and seized the treasures inside it would pose a problem.

After all, with so many people, they wouldn’t be able to watch everyone.

"Rest assured, even if the passage opens, cultivators below the Golden Core Realm won’t be able to enter. To prevent the collapse of the Array, leading to the destruction of the Tomb Mansion, both you and I must seal a portion of our strength upon entering." Yu Yuanshan replied.

Upon hearing this, Li Meng sensed the crowd below, noticing that most were below the Golden Core Realm.

Only a dozen or so were above the Golden Core Realm.

The highest was merely at Divinity Transformation.

Li Meng, thus, was unconcerned.

The Joyful Union Sect was a reputable sect; preventing entry would only provoke gossip.

"Huh..."

At this moment, Li Meng noticed two individuals she couldn’t discern.

Unable to discern meant she couldn’t sense their realm.

"Elder Li, what’s the matter?" Su Mengyan asked somewhat surprised upon seeing Li Meng’s startled expression.

"A bit strange." For Li Meng to be impeded from sensing through someone, they must possess something piquing her interest. However, being no evil cultivator, she wouldn’t directly question someone without provocation.

"What’s strange?" Su Mengyan followed Li Meng’s gaze, seeing two seemingly ordinary individuals. Although unaware of their realm, such ordinary people indeed failed to arouse Su Mengyan’s curiosity.

After taking another look, Su Mengyan shifted her gaze toward the Array below.

...

Yu Yuanshan, indeed an expert in Arrays, soon had the vast array below displaying signs of distortion. Shortly after, runes emerged, replacing the original runes of the Array.

"Boom boom!"

A ripple akin to water waves appeared on the array’s barrier.

As the ripples arose momentarily.

Yu Yuanshan cast several rare treasures into the ripples.

Boom!

As the rare treasures entered the Array, Yu Yuanshan rapidly performed sealing with his hands. Subsequently, subtle, clear sounds emanated, and then, everyone saw the light screen above begin to crack with fissures visible to the naked eye.

In an instant, a passage nearly a meter wide and long presented itself to everyone’s gaze.

"The Array has been opened."

"How impressive, the might of Cyan Cloud Sect."

Seeing this, many were overjoyed, flexing their muscles in preparation, waiting for the moment to rush into the Tomb Mansion.

Soon, however, Yu Yuanshan doused their excitement.

"This passage allows only cultivators from above the Golden Core Realm to below the Void Realm to enter."

Having said this, Yu Yuanshan explained no further, sealing his own strength to Half-Step Void Realm. He manipulated the cyan round wood beneath, carrying Zhao Yping, transforming into a cyan stream of light, sliding into the opened gap.

Li Meng followed suit, quickly shooting inside with Su Mengyan.

Some didn’t believe it, having come all this way, only to be told that individuals from above the Golden Core Realm to below the Void Realm could enter.

Of course, they wouldn’t be resigned.

They all attempted to enter but were all stopped.

Even with their strength, the Array didn’t activate protective measures to erase them.

"Let’s go in too."

Yu Yuanshan’s and Li Meng’s entry piqued Zuoqiu Yiren’s curiosity about what within the Tomb Mansion attracted Unity Realm experts.

She sealed her realm to Half-Step Void Realm and instinctively reached out for Chen Mo’s hand to bring him along.

But Chen Mo evaded.

Zuoqiu Yiren knitted her brows. Since that incident of stealing a kiss in the cave, Chen Mo consistently avoided intimacy with her; even hand-holding or physical contact ceased.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable inside, she remained silent and enveloped Chen Mo with True Qi, sweeping him into the opened passage.

Once inside the Array, a sense of oppression assailed them. The Tomb’s owner’s strength should have been considerable, having fallen millennia ago, yet his residual power seemed to continue enveloping the area, causing the flow of True Qi within to become slightly clogged.

Viewed through the Array from outside, the Tomb Mansion seemed like ordinary burial mounds, but inside was a vast hall, divided into multiple paths leading into its depths. Five or six people now dispersed inside.

The earliest arrivals, Yu Yuanshan, Li Meng, and others had already vanished from sight.

"Yiren, which path?"

Chen Mo tilted his head toward Zuoqiu Yiren.

Zuoqiu Yiren extended her sense, perceiving for a moment, then said, "Each path’s end is guarded by energy shields, except the third from the left, which Yu Yuanshan and others presumably broke. Let’s take this one."

Zuoqiu Yiren didn’t fear Yu Yuanshan or Li Meng.

If they travelled this path, there must be good items ahead.

Naturally, she must compete.

Chen Mo agreed with her, nodding, and they synchronized their entry into the third path on the left.

So, proceeding at full speed, about half an hour later, the seemingly endless path finally widened, and sudden booming sounds and startling voices wafted to them.

Upon exiting the path, they found themselves in a larger hall, several times bigger than the previous one.

Within this hall were only five individuals.

Aside from Yu Yuanshan, Li Meng, and the others, there was a young man.

Zuoqiu Yiren transmitted to Chen Mo, saying the young man was a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator.

Before arriving, Chen Mo and Zuoqiu Yiren’s appearance drew the attention of the five, all glancing at them in surprise.

"It’s them!" Yu Yuanshan and Li Meng exchanged a glance.

Evidently, finding the pair unreadable, they deemed it curious, especially more so seeing them here.

Soon, though, they refocused on the items ahead.

Chen Mo and Zuoqiu Yiren observed many light screens suspended halfway up the hall. Through the thin rays, Chen Mo could vaguely see the numerous lights presenting shapes of swords, beads, daggers, fans, and more.

"They’re all Initial Grade Dao Artifacts." Zuoqiu Yiren was surprised, transmitting to Chen Mo.

"What?!"

Chen Mo was astonished.

Initial Grade Dao Artifacts were extremely precious treasures even within Shenxiao Sect, but inside this hall, there were... eight.

Chen Mo counted them.

"What a formidable display!" Chen Mo recalled the simulated contents; beginning with eight Dao Artifacts, what was the greatest treasure here?
