Chapter 66: Bai Chen – Treasures Aren’t That Easy to Take!
“Go on.”
“Go see the surprise I’ve prepared for you.”
Bai Chen stood in mid-air, watching the warriors scatter in different directions across the Profound Heaven Sword Sect.
From the moment he entered, he had been watching silently from above, completely unnoticed by everyone. He had seen their expressions of awe, their excitement, and their ambition. He had also seen them divide into groups, each heading toward different regions.
Different paths led to different fates.
For example, Heading east would lead them into a vast desert. Heading south would take them into an icy wasteland. Every direction held its own unique challenge. And naturally, the treasures hidden in each environment were entirely different.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“But…treasures aren’t so easy to claim.”
Thinking about the traps and trials he had prepared, Bai Chen couldn’t help but let out a low chuckle. Unlike before, where he had personally chosen who would receive an immortal inheritance, this time He didn’t plan to interfere.
With the exception of the sect’s core inheritance, which he had no intention of giving away,
Everything else—The treasures, techniques, and artefacts—were left scattered throughout the sect.
Meaning that the outcome would be purely determined by strength and luck, no divine selection, no guaranteed winners, only those truly capable would emerge victorious.
Bai Chen was curious—
Who will claim the greatest rewards?
…………………………………………………………………………………
Under Zhao Min’s leadership, the warriors of the Yuan Empire had been moving at full speed for over an hour.
“Stop!”
“We’ll rest here for now!”
At Zhao Min’s command, many warriors sighed in relief. Though they were peak-level martial artists, their internal energy was not limitless. An hour-long sprint had drained most of their reserves. Being able to pause and recover was a welcome reprieve.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“Princess, something isn’t right.”
“We’ve travelled over a hundred miles…”
“But we’re still in the desert.”
“This place is far larger than we expected—”
“It must be more than a thousand miles across!”
The man who spoke was Boluo Te (博罗特, Bóluótè) the most talented disciple of the Golden Wheel Monk.
At twenty-nine years old, he had already reached the Celestial Phenomena Realm.
In the Yuan Empire’s group, he was the only one at this level.
Despite the long journey, he showed no signs of exhaustion.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“I know.”
“Immortal techniques have always been… mysterious.”
“The Profound Heaven Sword Sect was once the ruling hegemon of the Western Continent.”
“At its peak they had four mighty cultivators at the Unity of Void and Dao Realm.”
“Do you really think a sect of that level wouldn’t possess miraculous abilities?”
Zhao Min smiled lightly.
She was already a cultivator herself.
She understood better than most, just how terrifying the powers of immortals could be.
Even she, with her current abilities, could easily deceive a large number of warriors with illusions alone.
A sect as grand as the Profound Heaven Sword Sect would naturally have even more incredible powers.
A mere expanding landscape was nothing to be surprised about.
“Spread out.”
“Keep a safe distance from one another.”
“If anything unusual happens—”
“Report it immediately!”
Zhao Min’s sharp eyes scanned the desert as she gave her orders.
…………………………………………………………………………………
Elsewhere—
Under Qiao Feng’s leadership, a small group of seven or eight warriors pressed forward.
After traversing several mountains,
Qiao Feng finally raised his hand.
“Let’s stop here.”
The warriors nodded, some immediately collapsing onto the ground to rest. Qiao Feng chuckled and was about to sit down when he noticed Huang Rong standing a short distance away.
She was staring intensely at the ground, her expression thoughtful.
“Little Sister Huang—”
“What is it?”
Qiao Feng walked over, curiosity piqued. Ten days ago, Huang Rong had successfully broken through to the early-stage Grandmaster Realm. Knowing how dangerous this place would be,
Her father, Huang Yaoshi (黄药师, Huáng Yàoshī), had personally asked Qiao Feng to look after her.
At first, both Qiao Feng and the other Beggar Sect elders were hesitant, but Huang Rong’s brilliant intellect had soon won them over.
In just a few days, she had already become the group’s strategist—second only to Qiao Feng himself.
And so, Qiao Feng took her opinions very seriously.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“Qiao Bangzhu!”
“Look at these tracks.”
“Don’t they look like wolf prints?”
Huang Rong pointed to a series of marks on the ground.
They resembled wolf tracks,
But were several times larger than those of any normal wolf.
“These are definitely wolf tracks.”
“But…”
“They’re three times larger than normal?”
Qiao Feng’s expression darkened.
He had seen countless wolf tracks before,
But never of this size.
At his words the other Beggar Sect elders rushed over.
One of them, a mid-stage Grandmaster, spoke nervously—
“Bangzhu!”
“Wolves never live alone.”
“They always travel in packs!”
“If these wolves are this large…”
“Then their pack must be terrifying!”
“Shouldn’t we leave before we run into them?”
Qiao Feng nodded slowly.
Just as he was about to agree—
Huang Rong suddenly interrupted.
“No!”
“We can’t leave!”
“Not only that—”
“We need to find their den!”
Everyone turned to stare at her in shock.
“Find… their den?”
“Are you serious?!”
What do you think?
