CHAPTER 1260: CHAPTER 1189: FIRST TREASURE TOMB

"Haha!"

"This Mysterious Place, only accessible to the Divine Master, is truly a Treasure Land!"

"So many treasures!"

Lin Tong saw the numerous Treasure Jars continuously being stored inside his Spatial Treasure, and a broad smile appeared on his face.

After all, in this Mysterious Place, they only encountered a small hassle at the initial cave; there was no trouble after that, and they obtained so many treasures. Compared to Lin Tong’s other adventures, the risk was minimal, and the harvest was the largest, making him extremely happy.

Not only the three Ninth-Level Divine Masters and Lin Tong.

Even the always composed Tian Lan Yan had a hint of a smile on her face.

Tian Lan Yan couldn’t help but think: "Which senior left so many treasures here and only allowed Divine Masters to enter, excluding those with higher realms? It’s like they are gifting treasures to us Divine Masters."

"So many treasures, even some Peak Lords and Cosmic Emperors would be very tempted."

By this time, Tian Lan Yan had already opened over four hundred Treasure Jars. Just recently, she successfully opened a Cosmic Emperor Level Treasure Jar, acquiring many Cosmic Emperor Level treasures.

Such a harvest is truly astonishing.

In a regular universe, these treasures would suffice for the owner to dominate the entire ordinary universe.

Even in the Cosmic Sea, they would be enough to nurture many Divine Master Overlords and start a small Sect.

Open the jars, open the jars, open the jars!

The three Ninth-Level Divine Masters, Lin Tong, and Tian Lan Yan were frantically unlocking their selected regions’ Treasure Tombs and Treasure Jars.

Ye Chen was no exception, of course.

When Ye Chen opened over six hundred Treasure Jars, sixteen of them were of Cosmic Emperor Level.

When Ye Chen finally finished unlocking all remaining Treasure Tombs, he reached a total of twenty-three Cosmic Emperor Level Treasure Jars, six to seven hundred Overlord Level Treasure Jars, and over a hundred Divine Master Level Treasure Jars!

Even if the most precious treasures in those Cosmic Emperor Level Treasure Jars were merely Second Star Tribulation Cosmic Emperor Level, they were still far inferior to the Divine Might of treasures like Ye Chen’s Ancient Origin Ice Bead and Ruyi Qiankun Rod.

However, these treasures were astonishing enough. After all, just the twenty-three Cosmic Emperor Level Treasure Jars contained over a thousand Cosmic Emperor Level treasures!

Not to mention the even greater number of Overlord Level treasures.

Ye Chen had been consuming treasures from the Refining God Chart, but now, he replenished with over ten thousand treasures here, enough for Ye Chen to use for a long time, even enough to gift many to others!

What a massive harvest.

This was undoubtedly the most astonishingly large collection of treasures Ye Chen had ever acquired during his adventures!

Ye Chen couldn’t help but think: "The Abyss, truly the most mysterious area of the Sea of Exile."

"A newly discovered Mysterious Place has so many treasures!"

At this moment, Ye Chen couldn’t resist the urge to explore more places in the Abyss.

However, since the Mysterious Place hadn’t been fully explored, impatience wasn’t warranted.

Very soon.

All six of Ye Chen’s team finished unlocking their assigned Treasure Tombs, and everyone obtained tens of thousands of treasures!

When Ye Chen, Tian Lan Yan, Lin Tong, and the three Ninth-Level Divine Masters gathered again, all six of them displayed satisfied expressions.

"Here is a treasure for you, Lin."

Once gathered, Ye Chen directly took out a Peak Lord Level treasure and handed it to Lin Tong.

Prior to this, the Divine Master Squad of six had agreed that if they found Peak Lord or higher-level treasures in this Mysterious Place, Lin Tong, as the initiator, should receive an additional Peak Lord Level treasure.

Currently, Ye Chen held many Cosmic Emperor Level treasures, with countless Peak Lord Level treasures, so offering one was no challenge.

"Thank you, Jiang."

Lin Tong accepted the treasure from Ye Chen with a smile.

Tian Lan Yan and the other three Ninth-Level Divine Masters followed suit and handed Lin Tong a Peak Lord Level treasure each.

The agreement among the six regarding the treasures was fulfilled immediately.

"I didn’t expect us to get so many treasures so smoothly this time." The harvest was significant, and upon receiving five more treasures as compensation, Lin Tong felt completely relieved. He smiled at Ye Chen and the others, "Fellow Daoists, now that our task here is over, let’s continue exploring this Mysterious Place."

"Perhaps there are even greater rewards ahead."

"Let’s go." Ye Chen’s group of five nodded in agreement, "Let’s find the route further into this Mysterious Place."

The five of them began searching for an exit amidst the densely packed tombs.

Within a matter of tens of breaths, Ye Chen was the first to find the exit.

"Come over here!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as Ye Chen called out, Tian Lan Yan and Lin Tong, among others, looked in his direction and swiftly moved to his side.

At this moment, Ye Chen was standing at the far left of the last row of tombs.

Previously, Ye Chen had unlocked a Treasure Tomb here, and at that time, there was nothing unusual. However, perhaps due to having opened all the Treasure Tombs, a faintly glowing two-zhang circle now appeared in this area.

Ye Chen, with his excellent memory, was absolutely certain that this faint glow had not been there before. Its sudden appearance likely revealed the way to the deeper part of the Mysterious Place.

Ye Chen examined the faint glow, sensing traces of a space transmission Formation here.

Before unlocking the Treasure Tombs, Ye Chen had sensed the Space Star Aperture in this space and imprinted the Origin Star Aperture, making him hyper-aware of spatial shifts.

"Let’s stand inside and try."

"Presumably, from here, we can get to a deeper area of this Mysterious Place."

After informing Tian Lan Yan and the others, Ye Chen took the lead and stepped into the faint glow.

At this time, an exciting occurrence happened for Tian Lan Yan and the others.

Once Ye Chen stepped into the glow, a transmission light immediately shimmered within the circle, and within it, Ye Chen vanished from the densely packed Treasure Tomb area.

"Jiang made it through!"

"It’s indeed a Transmission Dharma Seal!"

"Let’s go, we’ll teleport as well!"

The remaining Lin Tong and Tian Lan Yan among the five eagerly stepped inside the faint glow, each disappearing from the area in turn.

The next moment.

The six of them arrived at a new place one after another!

"This is..."

"Heaven."

"Oh heavens, this!"

As they arrived at this new domain, the six looked ahead, all displaying expressions of disbelief.

Only to see, at this moment, the six were standing on an unending flat land, and before them, there was nothing else, only a gigantic treasure tomb towering proudly!

This treasure tomb was incredibly large!

It appeared conical, reaching tens of thousands of feet in height. Seen from afar, this treasure tomb resembled a giant mountain!

Compared to it, the thousands of treasure tombs Ye Chen and the others had opened earlier seemed like mere ants.

At the forefront of this treasure tomb stood an astoundingly huge monument, towering at a height of a thousand feet!

It was through this astounding huge monument that Ye Chen and the others could confirm that the enormous treasure tomb before them was indeed a tomb, not a giant mountain.

In an instant.

Ye Chen and the others flew to the enormous monument, looking at the inscriptions on it.

At this moment, their hearts couldn’t help but pound fiercely.

After all, not long ago, they had opened over four thousand treasure tombs, each containing countless treasures.

Now, facing this giant tomb, deeper in the Mysterious Place, and standing alone with such grandeur, Ye Chen, Lin Tong, Tian Lan Yan, and the others vaguely guessed that the treasures inside the giant tomb might be even more precious than those in the smaller tombs!

To know, from those previous tombs, Ye Chen and the others had found treasures of Cosmic Emperor level.

If treasures in this giant tomb were even more precious, that might mean star-level treasures were hidden inside?!

The six of them, filled with immense expectations, looked at the inscriptions on the gigantic monument.

The more they looked, the more diverse their expressions became.

"This is actually the last domain of this Mysterious Place!"

"This giant tomb is indeed the First Treasure Tomb of this Mysterious Place!"

According to the inscriptions on the monument.

The Mysterious Place is a realm of treasure burial. Apart from the test at the cave entrance, the rest is purely for treasure acquisition.

Whoever created the Mysterious Place remains unknown. He only permitted Divine Masters to enter this domain and didn’t make entry too difficult for them.

The thousands of treasure tombs at the front were gifts left for all Divine Masters entering this realm!

And the First Treasure Tomb of this final domain is reserved exclusively for the destined person!

According to the monument’s description, only one person can enter the First Treasure Tomb!

Whether one can enter depends entirely on whether they are truly the destined person. Without destiny, no matter how many Divine Masters enter, none will be able to enter the First Treasure Tomb. They must wait for another Divine Master to enter the Mysterious Place for further judgment.

Only when a truly destined person arrives can they enter the First Treasure Tomb!

"Destined person?"

"What does it mean to be destined?"

At this moment, Lin Tong and the others, after reading the monument’s text, were completely bewildered.

The monument didn’t clarify what truly defines a destined person with the Mysterious Place.

This left Lin Tong and the others feeling quite frustrated.

After all, this is the First Treasure Tomb, the most significant domain left by the creator of the Mysterious Place. It’s clear that what’s inside is far more precious than the treasures in the outer tombs.

Lin Tong and the others naturally immensely desired entry!

"I hope I’m that destined person."

Lin Tong, the three nine-level Divine Masters, and Tian Lan Yan all hoped fervently in their hearts.

Even Ye Chen hoped he was the destined one.

After all, the First Treasure Tomb possibly held star-level treasures, even Ye Chen was immensely tempted.

"How does one determine destiny?"

Just as the six were curious about this.

Something unexpected occurred.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot down from the First Treasure Tomb, illuminating Lin Tong who was standing at the forefront.

Lin Tong’s heart skipped a beat, overwhelmed with excitement, as he sensed a terrifying search force examining him. But before he could react, the beam of light moved from Lin Tong and onto Tian Lan Yan.

"Did I fail?"

Lin Tong instantly felt extreme disappointment.

He failed to become the destined person for entry into the First Treasure Tomb, missing this incredible opportunity!

Tian Lan Yan also felt excited, but shortly after, the beam moved away from him as well.

Directly landing on Ye Chen.

Then a more unexpected event occurred.

The instant the light touched Ye Chen, he vanished from sight, and the beam from the First Treasure Tomb also disappeared.

"Was Jiang the destined person?!"

Lin Tong and Tian Lan Yan, seeing Ye Chen vanish, were astonished, mouth agape.

"We haven’t even been tested; why did it vanish?!"

The other three nine-level Divine Masters were the most frustrated!

The First Treasure Tomb only allows one destined person to enter. Despite their low confidence as destined individuals, missing the test left them deeply discontented.

These five did not realize that at that moment, the suddenly transported Ye Chen was equally amazed.

Because Ye Chen sensed that when the beam hit him, the Sect Master Command he obtained from the Nine Bends Demon Realm moved slightly.

It was this slight movement that caused the beam to carry him instantly into the First Treasure Tomb!
