Chu Feng and the Mystic Cave Saints began to explore the Great Monster Slayer Emperorâs Tomb.
At the beginning, they were extremely careful. However, they were soon shocked to discover that there were no traps in the tomb.
Furthermore, from their exploration, they discovered that their map was real.
The layout of the Great Monster Slayer Emperorâs Tomb was identical to their map.
With this, Chu Feng and the Mystic Cave Saints were simply akin to fish that had returned to water.
......
However, soon, difficulties arose.
Although the Great Monster Slayer Emperorâs Tomb did not have any traps, and their map had also recorded regions containing treasures, they discovered that there was a gate when they arrived at a place containing treasures.
That gate was simply impregnable and unbreachable. Chu Feng and the Mystic Cave Saints were completely helpless before it.
Furthermore, they later discovered that such an unbreachable gate was present at every single treasure-containing location.
âWhat are we to do now? Weâve wracked our brains and finally gotten in here, yet weâve ended up being unable to obtain anything.â
âSoon, the people from the All-heaven Sect will arrive. At that time, weâll have to watch helplessly as they take away all the treasures from this place.â The Mystic Cave Saints became extremely anxious.
They had attempted multiple methods to breach the gates.
They had even used some powerful treasures in their attempts. However, without exception, they had all failed.
âLet me see that map again." said Chu Feng.
Although they did not know what he planned to do, the Mystic Cave Saints still handed the map over to him again.
Chu Feng had seen the map earlier. He had also memorized all the details of the map.
The reason why he requested to see the map again was because he wanted to confirm one thing -- he wanted to confirm his guess.
âSure enough. Itâs as I thought, thereâs no such easy thing in the world.â
âWith how powerful the barrier outside the Great Monster Slayer Emperorâs Tomb was, how could there not be any traps inside?â
âThis is simply unreasonable. And now... I finally understand why thatâs the case.â
After seeing the map again, a smile of complete realization appeared on Chu Fengâs face.
âBrother Asura, did you discover something?â the Mystic Cave Saints hurriedly asked.
âA corresponding treasure is required to breach this gate.â
âYou all have told me that the All-heaven Sect, for the sake of opening the Great Monster Slayer Emperorâs Tomb, has prepared for many years, and obtained many treasures capable of opening this place.â
âI suspect that among the treasures theyâve obtained are the keys to open these gates,â said Chu Feng.
âThatâs right. Weâve also thought that to be the case. Thatâs why weâre worrying.â
âWe entered this place ahead of time because we wanted to seize the opportunity to obtain the treasures before them. However, if weâre unable to do anything, it would mean that weâve entered in vain.â said the Eldest of the Mystic Cave Saints.
âThatâs not necessarily the case. Since weâre able to enter here ahead of time, it means that we still have the chance to gain a decisive opportunity.â said Chu Feng.
âBrother Asura, exactly what did you discover? Stop beating around the bush and tell us directly.â
âRight, right, right. Brother Asura, quickly tell us.â
The Mystic Cave Saints became impatient.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI feel that even though the Great Monster Slayer Emperor has heavily guarded his tomb, he actually hoped that his treasures could be obtained by others. Otherwise, there would simply be no need for him to make things so complicated. He could very well bring those treasures to a place that no one knew about and hide them.â
âIt is precisely because he wanted to leave his treasures to future generations that he left things that could breach the defenses he set up.â
âThere are only two ways to obtain the treasures he left behind.â
âThe first method would be to obtain the corresponding keys and use them to open those gates.â
âIf my guess is correct, a key will only be able to open a single gate.â
âAs for the second method, it would be rather remarkable. That would be... obtaining the Great Monster Slayer Emperorâs acknowledgement.â
âShould one be able to obtain his acknowledgement, all of the gates here will open." said Chu Feng.
âBrother Asura, in that case, how does one obtain his acknowledgement?â asked the Mystic Cave Saints.
âThereâs a place where one can obtain his acknowledgement. Follow me.â
As Chu Feng spoke, he began to lead the way, and the Mystic Cave Saints immediately followed him.
The Great Monster Slayer Emperorâs Tomb was enormous. Even though they had only explored a region of the tomb, they knew about the structure of the entire tomb due to the fact that they had a map.
However, the location that Chu Feng was leading them to was a place not recorded on the map.
He had brought them to a long corridor. The long corridor was very well-hidden.
Although there was nothing stopping them from entering it, it would not be easy for them to discover it had it not been for Chu Feng showing them the way.
The reason for that was because the corridor was simply too inconspicuous, and too easily overlooked.
Even if one were to discover the long corridor, they would still overlook it, since it did not appear to contain any treasures.
In other words, had it not been for Chu Feng guiding them, even if the Mystic Cave Saints had discovered the entrance to the corridor, they would not have attempted to enter it.
At least, they would not decide to explore it before theyâd explored the entire Great Monster Slayer Emperorâs Tomb.
The long corridor was very narrow. The further they went, the more shabby it became.
Furthermore, as they went deeper, they began to feel a dangerous aura. That aura brought unease to the Mystic Cave Saints.
However, Chu Feng did not slow down at all. He continued to rapidly proceed onward.
Strangely, even though the long corridor was emitting a dangerous aura, even though that dangerous aura felt much stronger the deeper they went, they did not encounter any dangers the entire time.
Finally, they passed through that long and narrow corridor.
At the instant they passed through the long corridor, the eyes of the Mystic Cave Saints started shining.
They looked to Chu Feng with even greater admiration in their eyes.
