Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 1267 - 528: Repelling the Enemy, Secret Vault [Seeking Subscription]_2

Chapter 1267: Chapter 528: Repelling the Enemy, Secret Vault [Seeking Subscription]_2

However, the Formless Flying Sword seized this opportunity to fiercely slice the golden shield, leaving a shallow sword mark on its surface.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun’s Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron has excellent self-repair capabilities, so a little nurturing can fix this minor damage, which is not a big problem.

However, after witnessing the opponent’s formidable attack power, Zhou Chun no longer hoped to continue entangling with them and just wanted to drive them back quickly.

Thus, he decisively took out the Talisman Treasure given by Tianjing True Person.

Golden Core Stage Cultivators could activate Talisman Treasures almost as easily as activating Talismans, even though this Talisman Treasure was crafted by a Nascent Soul Stage True Person.

Once the Talisman Treasure was activated, a golden treasure mirror immediately formed mid-air.

Zhou Chun locked his Divine Sense onto the killer, and with a thought, the golden treasure mirror shot a beam of golden light at him.

The speed of the golden light was incredibly fast; the killer barely had time to react.

Fortunately, his white shield Dharma Treasure had an automatic protective effect and managed to timely position itself to block the golden light.

But the power of the golden light was something the white shield could not withstand.

This Middle-Grade Defensive Dharma Treasure, illuminated by the golden light, instantly developed hairline cracks on its originally indestructible shield, and the Dharma Treasure’s aura dimmed significantly.

This result left the killer both shocked and furious, cursing the sect’s intelligence gatherers as useless.

The target’s displayed strength and trump cards far exceeded the sect’s intelligence scope.

One could say he had been set up by his own people!

But Zhou Chun wouldn’t care what his opponent was thinking. The Talisman Treasure given by Tianjing True Person had only one use. The golden light just now consumed about twenty percent of its power, leaving him with several opportunities.

He quickly activated another Divine Skill of the golden treasure mirror.

Suddenly, a surge of golden light emanated from the golden mirror, turning into a golden thunder spear that shot towards the killer.

The appearance of the golden thunder spear instantly gave the killer a strong sense of impending doom.

Without thinking much, he hastily recalled the Formless Flying Sword to strike the golden thunder spear.

A thunderous boom echoed in the sky as the golden thunder spear was shattered by the Formless Flying Sword.

However, the killer let out a muffled grunt, with blood trickling from the corners of his mouth.

It turned out that although he blocked the attack, the Formless Flying Sword, as his Lifebound Dharma Treasure, lost a significant amount of its spiritual essence due to the golden thunder spear, and even developed faint, invisible cracks in its main body.

This result left him quite incredulous!

It’s worth knowing that the material used for his Formless Flying Sword was top-tier Dharma Treasure Spirit Material - Myriad Year Ice Crystal, a material harder than most top-tier Spirit Gold!

The piece of Myriad Year Ice Crystal consumed in forging the Formless Flying Sword was worth no less than a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure!

Such spiritual objects would make many Nascent Soul Stage True Persons eager to obtain it by any means.

Since crafting the Formless Flying Sword with the Myriad Year Ice Crystal, he rapidly rose within the Ice Hell Sect, becoming a top-grade killer, with a one hundred percent success rate on previous missions, never failing once.

And never in any encounters did the Formless Flying Sword suffer any damage, not even slightly!

He never thought he would suffer such a big setback today!

"You’re lucky today; I will come for you again!"

A cold voice came from the killer as he transformed into a white Escape Light and swiftly fled, seemingly abandoning the assassination mission.

But how could Zhou Chun let him escape so easily?

"Stop!"

With a thought, Zhou Chun triggered all remaining power in the golden treasure mirror, as a golden beam shot through the air, chasing the white Escape Light already ten miles away, quickly catching up to the opponent.

However, at that moment, the killer used some unknown Divine Skill to split himself into three bodies, and the golden beam only destroyed a fake one, losing its target.

Eventually, Zhou Chun could only watch as the figure disappeared into the sky.

"For such a powerful killer, I wonder where the Green Lotus Temple found him. It seems I’ll have to visit the Moon Wheel Sect’s mountain gate!"

Zhou Chun withdrew his gaze from the direction of the killer’s retreat, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

He didn’t need to think to know that the killer was certainly hired by the Green Lotus Temple, which also explained why the Green Lotus Temple hadn’t taken any measures against the Zhou Family over the past year or so.

Moreover, hiring such a powerful killer requires extraordinary networks and expenses, something only a few major sects within Jingguo Country could achieve.

Even knowing that the killer was sent by the Green Lotus Temple, without concrete evidence, the Moon Wheel Sect wouldn’t likely assist him.

Henceforth, whether it is him, other Golden Core Stage cultivators of the Zhou Family, or even Purple Mansion Phase cultivators, they could all become targets for that killer!

This left Zhou Chun deeply troubled.

If it weren’t for the treasure in Cheng Country still awaiting him to unravel, and the killer being injured and needing healing, he might have already diverted his path to seek help at the Moon Wheel Sect’s mountain gate!

Thus, heavily burdened with thoughts, Zhou Chun traveled for another two hours. After several reconnaissance attempts confirmed he was not being followed, he followed the sensory connection with the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer to the treasure’s location.

When Zhou Chun arrived at the treasure’s location, everything seemed normal, with no unexpected situations arising.

After testing the Formation’s defensive strength, he instructed the Zhou Family members to scatter and keep watch, to prevent any mages from being attracted by the commotion.

Then he released Baibai, the Thunder Flood Dragon, and the Golden Winged Tiger, and together they launched a strong attack on the Formation.

According to Zhang Liang’s assessment, the defensive strength of this Formation did not reach the level of a Forbidden Formation, so for Zhou Chun, it was just a matter of outputting attacks.

In less than an hour, he used the Taibai Slice Flood Dragon Sword to tear through the black-brown protective barrier, creating a gap big enough for a person to pass through.

Then he instructed others to wait outside while he entered the Formation alone.

Unexpectedly, inside the Formation was another Formation, an Illusion Array.

The Illusion Array was equally formidable, and without Divine Sense reaching the Golden Core Stage Cultivator’s standard, one would likely get trapped, depending on luck and personal will to break free before being utterly consumed by it.

However, for Zhou Chun, this Illusion Array had no lethal effect and he could simply disregard it.

He easily bypassed the Illusion Array and finally saw the scene inside.

The interior was partly hollowed out mountain, with many stone chambers constructed.

Zhou Chun initially thought it might be a Cultivator’s cave dwelling, but upon opening some stone chamber doors, he realized it might indeed be a secret treasure trove, with stone chambers filled with a large quantity of unrefined ores!

Pure Gold Ore, Gang Silver Ore, Purple Copper Ore, Fire Crystal Iron Ore...

Various ores were systematically stored in different stone chamber warehouses.

Since they were all unrefined raw ores, and stored in a Spiritual Energy-rich environment, even after a thousand years, they were still usable.

Moreover, these were all rich ores, refining them would yield finished materials with very low waste rates.

As far as Zhou Chun knew, some forces would, foreseeing future risks, allocate part of their resources during the peak of the sect or family to build secret treasuries.

Besides storing Cultivation Techniques, Classics, and other items, these secret treasuries would also house treasures and spiritual object resources that could be preserved long-term.

The purpose of these secret treasuries is to ensure that if the family or sect declines or perishes, the survivors can use the stored resources to rebuild.

In the long history of the Cultivation World, some sects and families have indeed used such secret treasuries to rise again after downfall.

"If it is indeed a secret treasury, the gains from this will not be small," Zhou Chun’s eyes gleamed as he headed deeper into the stone chambers.

No need to guess, the best treasures must be hidden in the deeper stone chambers!
