UGB Chapter 1750 Searching, Disappointment!
Chapter 1750 Searching, Disappointment!
Only low-grade spiritual materials and herbs remained, along with numerous magical treasures of mixed origins!
However, there were many useless books, jade slips, and ancient scrolls made of animal hide... piled up so much that they almost took up most of the warehouse.
With this remark,
Cheng Buzheng's heart sank suddenly.
Unwilling to give up, he pressed him again:
"Is there any secret manual passed down from the spirit world?"
For example... a fragment of a celestial book?
"I have never...heard of it." The other person's gaze was unfocused, and their answer was wooden.
"Then... is there a treasure that contains terrifying amounts of contribution points, yet whose origin is unknown, and which exudes a majestic aura?"
"Never seen... before".
I've heard this!
Cheng Buzheng's calm gaze suddenly darkened, as if a candle flame had been extinguished, sinking into a deep pool.
"So, all that's left in the treasure vault now is a pile of scrap metal?"
The strange-looking man, who had been staring blankly, actually nodded and responded haltingly:
"Hmm! More or less... like that!!"
His tone was calm, yet it was like the last handful of soil, completely burying Cheng Buzheng's last expectations.
But then—
A sharp glint flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes, like a bolt of lightning suddenly streaking across the night.
He seemed to suddenly grasp something, and asked urgently:
"Besides the treasure vault you are guarding, are there any other hidden places within the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan?"
Are there still secret vaults unknown even to ordinary demon races?
His gaze was intense, fixed on the bewildered tiger shark monster before him, his last glimmer of hope flickering like a dying lamp, refusing to be extinguished.
Obviously,
Cheng Buzheng also thought: How profound must the foundation of a top-tier clan be?
Why would they stake all their valuable assets on one place?
Just as wise men in the mortal world never put all their eggs in one basket, how could powerful demons be without any backup plans?
If the conquering army suffers a defeat, if the strong perish...
Without sufficient cultivation resources, there will inevitably be a shortage of successors, and the lineage will be at risk of breaking down.
Wouldn't that be courting disaster?
Therefore, the Black Tiger Shark must have other secret treasures, true heirlooms, and extraordinary spiritual objects. It's impossible that it would take everything away to reward the entire army!
Moreover, there is a high probability that multiple secret vaults exist.
As the leader of a power, he would not, and could not, gamble everything.
Therefore, Cheng Buzheng strongly suspected that the depletion of numerous spiritual resources in the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan's treasure vault was most likely due to…
A smokescreen on the surface,
The true foundation must still be hidden somewhere within the clan.
Moreover, the tiger shark demon usually wouldn't know.
Having understood this point, Cheng Buzheng suppressed his emotions and calmly asked the question.
Upon hearing this, the eerie man paused for a moment, seemingly searching his remaining memories, before finally murmuring a reply:
"Ancestor... seemed to have mentioned it before, that there is indeed a secret place within the clan, hidden in a certain canyon."
I don't know exactly where.
"A certain canyon?"
Cheng Buzheng murmured to himself, his mind racing.
"Not long ago, I took a tour of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan."
All that can be seen are towering peaks and continuous palaces; where is the shadow of a canyon?
Could it be that this canyon isn't within the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan's protective formation?
Instantly, the thought popped into his mind.
His eyes sharpened, and a thought suddenly occurred to him:
"Since the ancestor of the tiger shark demon before us knows about this canyon..."
Or... take His ancestors along with them...
next moment,
The thought had barely formed when he nipped it in the bud.
"No.
The ancestor of the tiger shark demon before them was a powerful being at the half-saint realm.
They were also located within the territory of the clan's protectorate.
If the attack fails to subdue the enemy instantly, alerting the entire clan and activating the great formation... then forget about finding the treasure, even escape will be difficult.
"To be on the safe side, I'll search again more thoroughly!"
Perhaps the canyon the tiger shark demon spoke of is hidden by the clan's protective formation.
"It's not impossible."
after all!
As the foundation of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan, it's never too much to keep it hidden.
With this in mind, his gaze returned to calm, and he had made up his mind.
Immediately.
Cheng Buzheng glanced at the strange man slumped on the throne, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
But in the end, he restrained his murderous intent.
"Fine! You're lucky."
"I will spare your life today."
Killing you now would easily arouse suspicion and cause trouble in your life.
Followed by.
Cheng Buzheng did not hesitate, and raised his finger...
A ray of light shot out from his fingertip and entered the strange man's brow.
The instant the Xuan Guang was launched
Cheng Buzheng's figure had disappeared into the cave.
···
Not long after, the strange man slowly woke up, rubbed his groggy forehead, and looked confused.
"Strange... I was drinking so much just now, how could I suddenly fall asleep?"
Feeling his head spinning, the eerie man instinctively shook his head, trying to clear his mind.
next moment.
He seemed to have thought of something.
With a change of thought, a vast and powerful divine consciousness swept through his body repeatedly.
A short while later, the divine thought receded like a tide.
Then, the cave's array was sensed... and there was nothing unusual.
The strange-looking man was finally relieved and laughed heartily:
"It seems I was overthinking things."
How could a cultivator from another race possibly infiltrate the clan's protective formation?
What's more!
The fourth-tier superior-grade formation that I obtained from the ancestor is no joke.
Even a powerhouse at the half-saint realm would have no chance of sneaking in without alerting me!
"That was really unnecessary!"
The eerie man shook his head and chuckled, then picked up the white jade wine pot again and drank it down in one gulp.
"This taste is truly wonderful!"
"···"
He was completely unaware that he had just narrowly escaped death.
Just as the eerie man continued to drink the spiritual wine...
At this moment, Cheng Buzheng had quietly infiltrated the deepest part of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan.
Hidden in the void, his gaze swept across the majestic and magnificent spiritual peaks and halls around him, before settling on the endless, dark blue light curtain blocking his way.
This is the protective formation of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan.
After looking around, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Could it not be here?"
Cheng Buzheng murmured to himself.
But when he thought about his previous guesses, his mind started to wander.
In an instant.
A golden light appeared in his eyes, and countless golden runes intertwined and evolved...
Not bad.
At this moment, Cheng Buzheng had pushed his invincible divine power, the [Luo Tian Divine Eye], to its limit.
As his gaze shifted...
The great formation before them was no longer a screen of light, but had transformed into a net of heaven and earth woven from billions of runes, with interconnected laws and magnificent energy.
However, after scanning the area, Cheng Buzheng did not find the canyon that the strange man had mentioned.
Moreover, there was nothing unusual about this giant net formed by endless array patterns!
Clearly, the canyon was not hidden within this protective formation.
After scanning the area, Cheng Buzheng took a step into the air and then flashed away to carefully examine the edge of the formation again.
I don't know how much time has passed?
suddenly.
Cheng Buzheng, who was hidden in the void interlayer, suddenly stopped, and his golden eyes fixed on a certain void outside the void interlayer.
What comes into view...
In that void, the giant net formed by endless array patterns twisted slightly, like branches of a stream, extending outwards into an almost imperceptible "array vein".
And at the end of that energy field, the outline of a canyon, hidden by spatial folds, was faintly revealed!
See this scene.
A hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
"It was well hidden! I searched for it for quite a while."
Cheng Buzheng couldn't help but sigh.
His spirits lifted, and the endless golden runes that intertwined and evolved in his eyes began to flicker.
Not bad.
At this moment, Cheng Buzheng began to search for the weak points of the secondary formation derived from the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan's protective formation.
After a while.
Cheng Buzheng's lips curled up into a smile.
Then, his figure flashed, like light and smoke, piercing through the array membrane—
Boo!
A barely perceptible soft sound.
The stream of light that Cheng Buzheng had transformed into silently disappeared into it.
······
A certain underwater canyon lies quietly dormant beneath a bottomless abyss!
The entire canyon was shrouded in a huge, almost transparent array of light.
The light barrier was as thin as silk, yet indestructible, with a faint blue runic light flowing across its surface from time to time, appearing and disappearing like breathing.
Looking out through the light screen...
It is an endless, dark deep sea, with its inky blue waters silently churning outside the barrier, forming undercurrents and whirlpools.
Occasionally, a few strange fish emitting an eerie glow would swim by, their scales shimmering like stars, disappearing in an instant.
This further highlights the mystery and isolation between the inside and outside of the light curtain.
Inside the canyon!
The area is perpetually shrouded in darkness, with only a few scattered phosphorescent mosses on the rock walls emitting a faint glow that illuminates the outlines of the jagged, strange rocks.
A dense, malevolent aura, like a pervasive fog and stagnant as water, enveloped people, bringing a bone-chilling cold.
The cliffs on both sides are steep and sheer, the color of black iron, rising straight up like countless black blades piercing the darkness. The mountain is covered with erosion marks of varying depths, as if recording the erosion of countless years.
The entire space was filled with an ancient, heavy, and oppressive atmosphere, as if every inch of rock contained some kind of ancient will, inspiring awe and inexplicable suffocation.
at this time···
A tall, slender figure suddenly appeared in mid-air outside the desolate canyon, standing there without revealing a trace of his presence.
It seemed to be an inanimate object that even divine sense could not scan.
Who else could this be but Cheng Buzheng?
He gazed at the canyon before him and thought to himself:
"Is this canyon before us the secret place the tiger shark demon spoke of?"
His thoughts raced, but Cheng Buzheng didn't stop what he was doing.
As the golden light in his eyes flashed continuously
Two of the locations caught his attention.
"Interesting! I didn't expect there to be a half-saint realm expert hidden here."
This must be the other half-deity that the tiger shark demon mentioned.
In murmurs.
Cheng Buzheng's gaze paused for a moment on the hillside on one side of the canyon entrance.
There lurks an extremely powerful aura, as obscure and mysterious as a powerful being from the abyss.
He is also a semi-saint guarding this place!
Then his gaze shifted to the depths of the canyon...
A majestic ancient palace stands silently, like a sleeping ancient beast.
The entire palace is constructed from a dark-colored material that is neither jade nor stone. Its surface is covered with mottled corrosion marks and faint traces of runes. The eaves are upturned, but the edges have been worn away by the years.
The palace gates stood tall and dark, as deep as night. Each of the two doors was carved with a huge, faded tiger shark totem, with dim spiritual pearls embedded in the beast's eyes, as if still gazing at every uninvited guest.
The entire ancient hall exudes an aura of desolation and primordial chaos.
An invisible pressure enveloped the palace; the closer one got, the more one felt the spiritual energy stagnate and one's mind become completely still.
Upon seeing this magnificent hall, Cheng Buzheng was convinced that this was the true source of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark's power...
Then!
He concealed all his aura, becoming as ethereal as a shadow, bypassing the perception of that half-saint, and quietly slipped into the ancient palace.
After all, it would be incredibly easy for someone at the Nascent Soul stage to deceive the senses of a half-saint.
Sure enough, during this period...
At the entrance to the canyon, on one side of the mountainside, there was no unusual activity.
Clearly, Cheng Buzheng's quiet infiltration into the depths of the canyon did not attract the attention of this semi-saint.
An hour later.
Cheng Buzheng reappeared outside the ancient palace gate, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.
There is indeed a lineage within the hall—
Countless jade slips and ancient animal hide scrolls were piled up like mountains, containing many high-level cultivation techniques and secret arts, and even a few incomplete sacred texts that led directly to the Void Refinement Realm.
But apart from that, there was almost nothing worth looking at.
He was also quite disappointed with what he had gained in the main hall.
It fell far short of expectations.
otherwise!
He wouldn't be looking at this right now.
Then, Cheng Buzheng did not linger there. With a flash, he merged into the void and disappeared.
now!
As Cheng Buzheng emerged from the void, a profound sense of disappointment filled his heart.
There are still some questions.
Logically speaking...
That grand hall deep in the canyon should be the place where the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan inherits its lineage.
The rich heritage should be found there!
For example, the inheritance of cultivation techniques is included, but there are very few advanced cultivation resources.
Let alone rare treasures like laws and spirit objects or celestial books from the spirit world?
There is neither the innate evil spirits nor the turbid energy of the earth.
This is simply unbelievable.
The Black Tiger Shark Clan's move was akin to a gambler betting their entire fortune in a desperate gamble—
Are they so certain of victory in this battle?
Or is there... a deeper scheme hidden behind this?
To this!
Cheng Buzheng just couldn't understand it.
It's also hard to understand what the current leadership of the Black Tiger Shark Clan is thinking.
For a while.
Even Cheng Buzheng found it difficult to judge!
However, he was still somewhat unwilling.
They immediately resumed their search, leaving no stone unturned, even the dilapidated spirit peaks and the main hall where the demon resided.
However, after a few laps...
Still nothing.
At this moment, Cheng Buzheng also gave up completely!
"It seems that apart from that inheritance site, the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan really hasn't built any other secret vaults within the clan!"
never mind!
Let's look around somewhere else!
The Black Tiger Shark Clan's resources are truly exhausted; any further delay will be futile.
It's just a waste of time.
Thinking of this,
Disappointed, Cheng Buzheng had completely disappeared into this void.
In the end, only a soft sigh remained, echoing through the desolate void.
