Chapter 745: Seven Treasuries
At this moment, he guessed that they were still two kilometers away from the treasure vault ahead, and the fact that no purple light was emitting above the treasure vault indicated that no one had reached it yet.
They used their rapid speed, rushing forward quickly.
Soon, they were only about one kilometer away from the treasure vault ahead.
Just then, a purple light suddenly flickered above the treasure vault in front.
Seeing the purple light, they breathed a sigh of relief, knowing they were undoubtedly the first to reach the treasure vault ahead.
Behind them, the five elders of the Taihuang Immortal Sect looked up and saw a sudden purple light appear in the sky ahead. They immediately realized that the light indicated someone was approaching the treasure vault.
"I hate it!"
Elder Qi clenched his fists tightly, utterly unwilling in his heart. He couldn't understand why his luck was so rotten that he encountered two powerful Martial Saints.
"Elder, we'll head over immediately!"
The other four elders, feeling just as unwilling as Elder Qi, knew well that if their six elders could not obtain the treasure at this stage, they might face severe punishment from the Taihuang Immortal Sect.
The thought of severe punishment from the Taihuang Immortal Sect sent a chill down their spines.
Thus, the five elders used their rapid speed, swiftly rushing toward the source of the purple light.
Fifteen minutes later, their Divine Sense detected a treasure vault up ahead.
They felt no joy and hurried forward, fearing that the two intruders had already taken the treasures inside.
However, when they got within five hundred meters of the treasure vault, they suddenly felt the gravity on their bodies strengthen abruptly.
Sensing the change in gravity, they gasped in astonishment, quickly channeling their Primordial Power to adapt to the gravity changes here.
After a while, they cautiously moved toward the treasure vault ahead.
"I hope those two Martial Saints haven't come out yet!"
At that moment, Elder Qi kept a keen eye on the treasure vault ahead, trying to discern if the two intruders were there.
But with his eyes widened, he still found no one ahead.
He knew that to overcome this stage of gravity pressure, it would take consuming Primordial Power and time, and eventually, it could be passed through.
But not seeing any trace of the two Martial Saints suggested to him that they must have already entered the treasure vault.
If those two Martial Saints indeed entered the treasure vault, then those who came later would not even get the scraps.
After struggling considerably, they finally arrived with difficulty at the treasure vault.
Upon entering the treasure vault, they found all the mechanical traps destroyed, with various long arrows and similar hidden weapons scattered on the ground.
With grim faces, they rushed inside the treasure vault.
After descending three flights of stairs, they discovered an empty room labeled 'treasure vault'; they searched around but found no other secret chambers, prompting them to cry out.
"Damn it! Those two bastards!"
The five elders were nearly spitting blood in frustration, reflecting on everything that had transpired, unable to recall seeing anyone leave the treasure vault.
Since they hadn't noticed anyone leaving, how did those two Martial Saints manage to take all the treasures from the vault?
Thinking deeply, they considered one possibility,
"It seems those two Martial Saints were faster than we imagined! They must have left before we got here!"
"Yes! Yes!"
"We must leave here immediately! We have to find those two Martial Saints at any cost! If we lose three vaults, we can only try to intercept them outside the Ziwei Divine Palace!"
Elder Qi's eyes flashed as he spoke.
"Right! Right! Elder Qi is absolutely right!"
The other four elders nodded in agreement.
They promptly exited the treasure vault, channeling their Primordial Power to overcome the gravity pressure in front.
Two quarters of an hour later, they finally made it out.
They used the Pointing Compass to confirm a rough direction and then headed toward the second treasure vault.
As they had surmised, Duan Gujin and Qing Lian had indeed entered the vault before the five elders and had taken all the treasures inside.
Afterward, they swiftly left the vault and headed toward the second treasure vault.
Duan Gujin and Qing Lian were seasoned veterans, leaving those from the Taihuang Immortal Sect no match for them in treasure hunting.
They had found three treasures in the first vault, but although they were valuable, they were not very useful to them.
"It seems like this place only has treasures like Dark Weapons!"
Duan Gujin had little interest in the Dark Weapons left by the Ziwei Divine Sect; he planned to auction them off for some Yuanzhen gold coins.
With Yuanzhen gold coins, he would buy a large amount of Spiritual Medicine to refine elixirs and enhance his cultivation.
"If only I could find a Cultivation Method from the Ziwei Divine Sect or other treasures here!"
Duan Gujin thought to himself.
In his previous life, he and Qing Lian went through similar challenges, only managing to pick up some broken Dark Weapons from the ruins outside, unlike now, where they were the first to enter a vault and took all the treasures into their storage rings.
"We need to follow this path and take all the treasures here!"
Duan Gujin said excitedly.
"Okay!"
Qing Lian nodded in agreement.
They used their rapid speed to enter the second stage faster.
Despite some difficulty in the second stage, it only slowed their progress a little.
Time passed steadily.
"There are a total of nine treasure vaults here, and we've already claimed seven as the first finders; now there are just two left. I remember that those two have very dangerous mechanical traps, so be careful!"
Duan Gujin advised Qing Lian.
"I know!"
Qing Lian nodded slightly in response.
In their previous lives, they had traversed the Ziwei Divine Palace but hadn't entered a vault to claim its treasures.
Back then, they only found some useful treasures in the ruins outside, which were very practical for them at the time.
Now, they ignored the treasures within the ruins and went directly for the treasures inside the vaults.
