Chapter 146: Treasure Hall
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
When Fang Zhengzhi plastered his face on the object, he finally saw it. That was a human figure, his reflection to be exact.
"It is like this!" Fang Zhengzhi always had a doubt. If the parallel dimension was formed from many pocket dimensions, then there must be a mirage that linked them all together.
Then, what was this mirage?
Initially...
Fang Zhengzhi had thought that the mirage was the moon.
After all, based on the area covered by the moonlight, it was the most suitable to be the mirage. However, when he saw the different shadows on the moon, he rejected this hypothesis.
As such, he came to the bottom of the lake.
He saw a smooth mirror...
Mirage!
The entire bottom of the lake was a huge mirror. Using the reflective ability, it linked all the pocket dimensions together.
The mirror at the bottom of the lake was the source of everything!
"Mirage?!"
Fang Zhengzhi's mind was filled with this term. Then, all of his questions were answered. He finally understood why he was always stuck in his own pocket dimension.
He also finally understood what was required to open the door to a parallel universe.
Fang Zhengzhi was very emotional. However, just as he was getting overwhelmed by emotion, his eyes were attracted to a pearl, a black pearl.
It looked extremely smooth, but it did not glow.
If not for the fact that he saw his own reflection, if not for the fact that the black pearl was blocking a part of his body, he would not have noticed it.
Fang Zhengzhi unconsciously reached towards the pearl.
This was a very unconscious decision. He did not think that he could reach the pearl. After all, the pearl was below the mirror.
In actual fact, when his hand had reached the base of the lake, it did not pass through the mirror. However, the reflection of his hand passed through and grabbed the pearl.
Then...
Fang Zhengzhi's hand felt icy.
"Hmm?" Fang Zhengzhi was slightly surprised. He felt that this was too incredible, he actually felt like he was holding onto something.
The pressure on his chest became higher and higher and he felt increasingly suffocated.
"Let's think about it after surfacing!" Fang Zhengzhi did not look at it any longer. He just swam for the surface as quickly as possible.
What he did not know was that in the moment the pearl went into his hand, the shadows on the moon disappeared. The lady on the lake in the previous world also disappeared...
...
On the banks of the lake.
Yan Xiu used the Wind Shadow Technique to dodge the attacks from the aqua pillars from all sides. He only dodged on the outskirts of the bank, never going any further.
This was because he still held the rope in his hand.
"Yan Xiu, I do not wish to be enemies with you. As long as you tell me where Fang Zhengzhi is, I can let you go!" Lu Yusheng's voice was crisp and arrogant.
He had the right to be.
Even though Yan Xiu could suppress those other Star Conglomerate people, they could not hold him back.
That being said, he never entered the Mountain River Territory. This place was huge and he was not stupid enough to step into it.
Yan Xiu did not reply. He was busy fending off the attacks from the seven Star Conglomerate people. Even though they were being suppressed by the Mountain River Territory, they did not lose their battle powers.
Furthermore, Lu Yusheng kept up his manic attack with water pillars. Yan Xiu was under immense pressure.
If not for the fact that Lu Yusheng was holding back in view of Yan Xiu's standing, Yan Xiu would be in an even worse state.
However, Lu Yusheng's patience was limited.
He did not want to be enemies with Yan Xiu, but that did not mean that he could not.
After all, this was a parallel dimension. He could explain it in many ways, and there was no way of verifying it.
"Boom!" At this point, the sun in the air split into two.
"Twin Sun Light Up!"
Yan Xiu grit his teeth. The light in his fan was intense, but it was taking its toll on him.
With the radiance of the sun, the youths in the Mountain River Territory came under immense pressure.
They could feel the air around them heating up. Even though there was a cool autumn breeze blowing around the lake, they still felt like they were being roasted.
At this point, the entire earth began to shake.
A ray of icy blue light shone to the ground.
"It's the treasure hall!"
"The treasure hall has appeared!"
"Master Lu!"
The seven youths looked to Lu Yusheng the moment they saw the icy blue light.
Naturally, Lu Yusheng also saw it. The Heavenly Treasure Hall was run by the Divine Constabulary and everything was kept in the treasure hall.
This was what everyone was here for.
"Enter the treasure hall first!" Lu Yusheng made an executive decision. After all, the person in front of him was Yan Xiu and not Fang Zhengzhi. He felt that he could let Yan Xiu off for now. However, if he didn't manage to make it into the treasure hall, he would have lost out significantly.
The seven youths heaved a sigh of relief.
They quickly left the Mountain River Territory and sprinted towards the source of the icy blue light...
...
"Woosh!" A figure jumped out from the lake, almost like a fish jumping out of water.
Yan Xiu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Fang Zhengzhi. However, when Fang Zhengzhi saw Yan Xiu again, he frowned deeply.
The Mountain River Territory surrounded Yan Xiu.
There was only one possibility...
Yan Xiu had just experienced an intense battle. Then, Fang Zhengzhi's gaze fell on the disappearing figure of Lu Yusheng.
A wave of rage swelled in Fang Zhengzhi's heart.
He could tolerate Lu Yusheng antagonizing him, but he could not tolerate Lu Yusheng going after his friend. His fists were now balled up.
"Where are they going?" Fang Zhengzhi jumped and landed next to Yan Xiu.
"The treasure hall." Yan Xiu pointed at the icy blue light in the near distance.
"Treasure hall? Is there treasure inside?"
"There is a lot, but, the Divine Constabulary has ordered that we are allowed to look and learn. However, we are only allowed to bring one item out with us."
"Then, we will stop them from seeing, learning, and taking anything away!"
"Okay!" Yan Xiu nodded. Even though he felt that Fang Zhengzhi was unrealistic, he did not rebut.
...
The wind was bone chilling. This was a world formed from ice and snow. There was no mountain or water here. There was only ice, and treasures wrapped in ice.
All kinds of treasure filled the world. There were blades glowing icily, bloody spears and ancient manuals in aged boxes.
Just like Yan Xiu said, without the necessary powers, one could not even break the ice.
If that was the case, you could only stare widely at the treasures.
Lu Yusheng looked at the icy palace like world and he smiled contentedly. He had the power to break the ice.
The seven youths also had the ability to do so.
Even though they could only break through some of the tinned ice, it did not matter, they had Lu Yusheng with them.
The Heavenly Reflection one.
This was the biggest reason why they followed Lu Yusheng.
With Lu Yusheng helping them break the ice they could not, they could access more treasure.
Any relationship here was built on mutual benefit.
"Have your pick!" Lu Yusheng pointed at the treasures and told the seven youths. He was incredibly generous and he enjoyed this feeling of power.
"Thank you Master Lu!" The seven youths smiled.
"Hahaha..." Lu Yusheng smiled too. So long as he stayed here, he would definitely find Fang Zhengzhi, unless Fang Zhengzhi was willing to give up the treasure.
"Master Lu, wipe that silly smile off your face, did your family build this?" A this point, a voice rung out and two figures appeared behind Lu Yusheng and the seven youths.
Lu Yusheng stiffened. This voice was way too familiar.
"Fang Zhengzhi?!"
The seven youths also heard the voice. They turned around simultaneously to look at Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu.
The seven youths burst out in laughter.
Fang Zhengzhi had no way of running in the treasure hall. Yet, despite knowing Lu Yusheng is here, he still came? Is he courting death?
"People actually come looking for death, how hilarious!" Lu Yusheng's smile turned into an icy chuckle.
"Exactly, how hilarious!" Fang Zhengzhi agreed with what Lu Yusheng was saying.
"So... you've realized your death is inevitable?"
"Not yet."
"And you dare to come?"
"There is so much treasure here, why wouldn't I come?"
"So you want to see these treasures before you die?"
"Will you let me see?"
"Hahaha... of course I will let you take a look! In fact, I will take them out of the ice and lay them out for you. It's a pity that you will only be able to look at them!"
"That's not a bad idea! However, if I had to do it, I'll make it more artistic. For example, I will not use so much energy to take the treasures out of the ice. I will strip you all and tie you on the ice pillars. Then, I'll let you all look carefully and closely..."
"Go to hell!"
Lu Yusheng raged. In an instant, snow surrounded him, each snowflake glimmering with an icy light.
The seven youths chuckled icily. They could imagine how bloody it would get.
