Chapter 45: The World's Hidden Treasures

  Jù Màn City was originally a desolate and barren city, where even ordinary people wouldn't gather, let alone cultivators. It could only be described as bleak. But now, the unusual sight of so many cultivators gathering here is not without reason.

  Although the situation learned from Wang Zhongbo's mouth is not complete, it also has a general impression.

  It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, the Xiu Zhen world produced many extraordinary people, and there were countless strong Tianjie realm experts. At that time, there was no division between Dao, Buddha, Demon, and Yao, nor was there a distinction between good and evil. Cultivators were simply cultivators, with the strong being revered, each relying on their own abilities.

  In that prosperous era, many truly extraordinary figures emerged in the Xiuzhen world, among whom was a "True Dragon Hermit" who possessed the strength of the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Stage and roamed freely within the Xiuzhen world, with few enemies to be found.

  Logically speaking, if one could obtain such powerful strength, they would normally establish their own sect. However, this "True Dragon Cultivator" was a reclusive person who had been cultivating for nearly a thousand years and still remained alone when the time came for ascension to heaven. Not to mention establishing a sect, he hadn't even taken in a single personal disciple.

  While the barren land of Jiuzi Ze was in its heyday, it was the location of the "True Dragon's" cave dwelling. According to legend, before True Dragon ascended to heaven, he placed all his lifelong treasures inside the cave and set up a mysterious seal to leave for later generations who had fate with him.

  What's even more shocking is that before Zhen Long Ju Shi ascended, Jiuzi Swamp was actually a place filled with spiritual energy, but after his ascension, the spiritual energy in an area of tens of thousands of miles around Jiuzi Swamp disappeared within three days.

  It is said that the True Dragon Recluse used his divine powers to absorb the spiritual energy of Jiuzi Swamp and transfer it to a cave he wanted to leave for future generations, causing Jiuzi Swamp to become a desolate and uninhabited place.

  A supreme being of the Ninth Heaven's cultivation, his lifelong collection would be a treasure trove of unimaginable wealth. Needless to say, many cultivators have come to Jiuzi Swamp in search of treasures after Zhen Long Xiansheng's ascension, including some powerful beings from the Heavenly Realm, but all returned empty-handed.

  Until three years ago, a small sect of Shenxiao Sect, one of the five major sects of Daoism, accidentally obtained a jade slip, which recorded the shocking information that the True Dragon's Cave Heaven was about to appear in the world.

  There is no wall that doesn't leak wind in the world, let alone a small sect like this one, it's impossible to have a treasure trove of secrets. After several twists and turns, the news that the True Dragon Cultivator's inherited treasure trove was about to be revealed spread rapidly, although not everyone knew, but all the powerful sects knew more or less about the inside story.

  According to Yu Qiong Jian's information, ten days later is the day when the treasure of the cave will appear in the world.

  At that time, all major sects rushed to Jiuzi Ze, which created the bustling scene of cultivators filling the streets in the current Giant Barbarian City.

  Among the many cultivators who thought of coming to share a cup, the strongest force was naturally the leader of the Daozong lineage, which had been around for over a thousand years, and the first of the five major sects, the Taiqing Sect. Of course, the other four major sects were not far behind, all with powerful arrays rushing to Jiuyan Swamp to seize the treasure.

  Apart from this, there are many small sects, even the Xiu Zhen family, and even scattered cultivators outside of families and sects who came to join in the excitement.

  Tens of thousands of years ago, a peerless strongman left behind a treasure, I wonder who can remain unmoved by it.

  Even if the five major sects of Daoism were to converge, they could not suppress the deep longing in people's hearts. The treasures hidden within the cave can only be possessed by those who are destined for it, which is undoubtedly the best excuse for many cultivators who have come here to try their luck.

  As for the treasure left behind by Zhen Long's residence, Chu Linfeng didn't pay much attention to it. What he was concerned about was that at present, there were hundreds of people from the Taiqing Sect who had arrived in Juyuan City.

  Although Chu Linfeng repeatedly told himself to calm down, as soon as he thought of the many Taiching Sect members among the cultivators on the streets outside the city, the anger in his heart was hard to suppress.

  Now that he knew where his father was, Chu Linfeng could finally feel a little more at ease. After a moment's thought, he didn't say much and left in the midst of Wang Zhubo's respectful gaze.

  Hua spent half a day, Chu Linfeng blended into the Giant City as a scattered repairman, collecting a lot of useful information.

  According to the original plan, Chu Linfeng should have already set out on his way to Jiemi Valley. However, upon hearing that Taiching Sect had sent hundreds of people, including three of the six renowned True Immortals and nearly a hundred disciples, with the intention of letting these young disciples gain some experience, Chu Linfeng suddenly changed his mind.

  The city of Juemang is now a gathering place for cultivators, and even a trading market has been set up inside the city. After all, waiting days are always boring, especially in this desolate land with almost zero spiritual energy. Since they can't focus on cultivation, taking advantage of the gathering of cultivators to do some business is not bad either.

  At this moment, Chu Linfeng was walking in the temporary repair of the real market, but unexpectedly found that such a simple temporary trading gathering place was much more prosperous than the regular trading market he had been to before.

  But soon Chu Linfeng was relieved, the treasure left by the predecessors of the True Dragon Hermit, which had been hidden for tens of thousands of years, was about to be unearthed. The temptation was so great that even the powerful figures in the cultivation world could not resist it. Those who dared to come to Juyuan City were probably all cultivators with some confidence. Nearly 10,000 cultivators gathered here, and it would be hard not to get excited.

  However, Chu Linfeng was not interested in that Taobao shop in Fang City, he came to ask Taiqingzong for interest.

  As he walked, Chu Linfeng's gaze wandered over the many people walking in the market, and before long, he discovered no less than dozens of Taiqing Sect disciples.

  It's really easy to recognize the disciples of Tai Qing Sect, each and every one of them has a cow-head jade belt around their waist, after all, they are from a prestigious sect, this kind of symbol of identity is always necessary.

  "With five people, all of whom have the strength of six layers of heaven, giving up..."

  "There are only two people, but one of them has a cultivation base of eightfold heaven, giving up..."

  "Six people in a row, only one is at the sixth level of human cultivation, the rest are all below him. It's half success and half failure, should I choose this group?"

  Just as Chu Lianfeng was pondering which of the Taichong Sect disciples walking in the streets to target for interest, a man with a similar waistband and jade belt walked by from his left.

  "Reach the realm of nine heavens... Release..."

  The moment her gaze fell upon the storage wristband on that man's wrist, Chu Linfeng was completely stunned as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

  "Jade Kun Collar...the Great Elder's heirloom..."

  The "Great Elder" in the Chu Lin Feng's mouth was not the Great Elder of the Xuan Yuan Sect, but Jin Chang Lao Jin Chongjiu, the leader of the five great elders of the family who had been watching him grow up since he was a child and treated him with love like his own grandson.
