After âsubjugatingâ the Sand Waves Sectâs Grand Elders, Huang Xiaolongâs group continued flying to the ghost cave the little cow had mentioned.
With the additional forty-two Sand Waves Sectâs Grand Elders, and six chaos spiritual beasts tamed earlier, Huang Xiaolongâs big group was a striking sight.
Along the way, Huang Xiaolong got more information about the Sand Waves Sect from one of their Elders. He asked him several questions such as, if any of the Sand Waves Sectâs Ancestor were still in the Extraterritorial Devil Battlefield, or about the total number of experts in the Sand Waves Sect, and so on.
The Sand Waves Sectâs Grand Elders didnât dare to conceal anything, and therefore, answered Huang Xiaolongâs questions with honesty.
The Sand Waves Sect had six Ancestors in total. Three of those Ancestors were in the Extraterritorial Devil Battlefield, and the other three had stayed back to guard the sectâs headquarters in the Reverence World.
The three Ancestors had headed straight to the depths of Extraterritorial Devilâs Battlefield upon arrival. They were acting separately, therefore, they were not with Liang Luwen. They had gone to the depths of Extraterritorial Devil Battlefield in search of the Tianwu Treasure.
Huang Xiaolong was surprised, âNo one has taken the Tianwu Treasure yet?
He had been inside the chaos Golden Dragon Lightning Poolâs space for fourteen years, in other words, the Tianwu Treasure had appeared for more than a decade. Huang Xiaolong had thought that the Tianwu Treasure would have been taken away by someone after such a long time.
Sand Waves Sectâs Grand Elder Zheng Guowen shook his head and answered, âNot yet.â
A sneer came from the little cowâs mouth. She looked at Huang Xiaolong and said, âMerely a group of fools! They can only dream of obtaining the Tianwu Treasure; Ancestor God Realm masters going in there is equivalent to rushing to their deaths. There are layers and layers of formations, and a peak late-Tenth Order Ancestor God Realm master, at most, could make it to the outermost layer of the Tianwu Treasure.â She then looked at Zheng Guowen, âA lot of Ancestor God Realm masters are already dead, arenât they?â
Zheng Guowen looked at the little cow. His eyes were wide with astonishment, but he nodded, "Yes, itâs said over a thousand Ancestors have already fallen!"
âOver a thousand Ancestors!â Huang Xiaolong, and Feng Er exclaimed in shock. The majority of these Ancestor generation masters had late-Tenth to peak late-Tenth Order Ancient God Realm cultivation, nonetheless, over a thousand of them had fallen!
âOver a thousand, thatâs not a lot.â The little cow went on, âProbably, some forces in the Divine World know that there is no hope, therefore, they didnât participate.â She turned to Huang Xiaolong and said, âIn truth, the Tianwu Treasure had appeared once ten million years ago, and various Divine Worldâs forces had fought to snatched it, but it had only left rivers of blood. Not just the Ancestor God Realm cultivators, but even a large number of God King Realm masters ended up losing their lives back then!"
The little cowâs recount stopped there.
But anyone could guess the ending. This time too, it was obvious that all forces had failed to obtain the Tianwu Treasure, as no one had claimed it for such a long time since it had resurfaced more than a decade ago.
Huang Xiaolong almost couldnât believe it, âeven many God King Realm masters had died!!â
âAre the Tianwu Treasureâs restrictive formations this powerful?!â Feng Er couldnât help but asking.
The little cow rolled her eyes, âFor sure! That is a treasure left behind by a kid titled Heavenly Martial King. At the time of his death, he was a peak late-Tenth Order God King Realm master, and he was well-versed in formations. The entire Divine World used to acknowledge his outstanding talent in formations. A peak late-Tenth Order God King Realm master, and an exceptional genius in formations, so, what kind of formations do you think he could arrange?â
Everyone gasped audibly.
A peak late-Tenth Order God King Realm!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Well-versed in formations!
No wonder!
However, Huang Xiaolong caught on to something the little cow had saidâshe had referred to the Heavenly Martial King as âkid.â The Sand Waves Sectâs Grand Elders had weird expressions on their faces. Some even had a flicker of disdain in their eyes as they thought that the little cowâs bluff was too big.
"But, Master, after you advance to high-level Ancestor God Realm, I will take you to the innermost of the Tianwu Treasure. I am confident that you will be able to refine the core of the Tianwu Treasureâs formation, and take it away!" The little cow ignored the disdain in the Sand Waves Sect Grand Eldersâ eyes as she said this to Huang Xiaolong.
The disdain in Sand Waves Sectâs Grand Eldersâs eyes deepened even further as they heard the little cow.
Even though the God King Realm masters couldnât reach the innermost formation of the Tianwu Treasure, this cow still wants to go in there, despite being at a mere high-level Ancient God Realm strength? What a joke!
Huang Xiaolong was delighted for he absolutely believed in the little cowâs words.
The little cow then added, "However, Tianwu that kid has laid a Grand Time Flowing Sand Great Formation over the Tianwu Treasure. Therefore, it will disappear into the void if no one claims it within a hundred years of its appearance."
Huang Xiaolong, Feng Er, and the rest had not expected this.
"This... youâre saying, I need to breakthrough to high-level Ancestor God Realm in the next hundred years?" Huang Xiaolong asked while feeling a little speechless.
The little cow went on, "Not one hundred years, thereâs only eighty years or so left."
Huang Xiaolong smacked his lips silently.
Despite being confident in his talent, even he knew that it was impossible for him to breakthrough to high-level Ancestor God Realm in eighty years.
If the requirement was mid-level Ancestor God Realm, there was still a chance of achieving it. Still, Huang Xiaolong was doubtful, âthe little cow seems familiar with that Heavenly Martial King, otherwise, how can she know so much about the Tianwu Treasure?â
âSenior Xiaoniu, could it be that you knew the Heavenly Martial King?â Void devil beast Xu Baisheng asked the question that was also on Huang Xiaolongâs mind.
But the little cow crisply answered, âNo.â
All the Sand Waves Sectâs Grand Elders mocked the little cow inwardly, âUntil now she had been bluffing big, but in the end, she and the Heavenly Martial King are nothing but strangers...â
âI knew that kidâs Martial Ancestor.â The little cow supplemented, leaving the Sand Waves Sectâs Grand Elders agape.
âYou, you knew the Heavenly Martial Kingâs Martial Ancestor?!â One of the Sand Waves Sectâs Grand Elders looked at the little cow with an incredulous expression.
The little cow didnât even bother to look at that Grand Elder, and answering him was out of the question.
Seeing her reaction, the Sand Waves Sect Grand Elder once again thought the little cow was bluffing, and she did not answer his question due to guilt.
All of them were so deeply engrossed in their conversations that even before they knew, they had already reached the ghost cave the little cow had mentioned.
The ghost cave was located on the slope of a peculiar-shaped giant mountain. The ghost caveâs mouth was not very big, but enough to accommodate four people entering at the same time. From outside, the cave looked very dark.
Once they reached the mouth of the cave, Huang Xiaolong felt chilly winds blowing past him. These winds were colder than the Soulless Frigid Wind. He did not dare to act carelessly. Therefore, he circulated his Innumerable Buddha Supreme Godheadâs light godforce and wrapped it around his body. Just as he was about to enter the ghost cave, a group of people came flying towards them.
A group of about thirty people, clad in sky blue brocade robes with striking symbols on their cuffs. They were exuding a powerful momentum that was even more powerful than the Sand Waves Gateâs Grand Elders. The pressure coming from the few people at the front of the group was no weaker than Feng Er.
This sky-blue robed group was surprised when they saw Huang Xiaolongâs group. After all, not many people dared to search for herbs in the ghost cave.
âThis one is Blue Spirit Gateâs Zhang Yunbo. You also came to the ghost cave to look for herbs? The ghost cave is extremely dangerous. The risks reduces with number, shall we cooperate in exploring this ghost cave?â
An old man from the Blue Spirit Gate suggested.
His eyes were on Feng Er. In his opinion, Feng Er was the most powerful amongst Huang Xiaolongâs group, therefore he had assumed that she was most likely the decision maker of her group.
This was because void devil beast Xu Baisheng had concealed his strength, hence, the old man was unable to tell his strength.
However, Huang Xiaolong, who was merely an unimportant peak late-Tenth Order Ancient God Realm disciple spoke, âSorry, we have no intention to join any group.â
