Chapter 1373 - 1170: Bizarre Treasure
The seven martial artists sensed that Duan Gujin was right in front of them, using the Space Escape Technique to flee, and each of them was furious."Let's not pursue him, we'll wait for him here!"
After a while, one martial artist said.
"Alright! Leader!"
The other martial artists responded in succession.
"Spread out! Keep an eye on the surroundings! That person likely tried to divert us; we must not fall for it!"
The middle-aged man referred to as 'Leader' spoke.
"Understood, Leader!"
The other martial artists responded in succession.
Then, they immediately started setting up some Killing Arrays and Arrays near the volcano.
As long as Duan Gujin approaches their Arrays, the Array will alert the Array Setter, letting them know where an enemy is closing in.
The Killing Arrays they've set up are meant to deal with Duan Gujin and any possible reinforcements he calls.
They don't know who Duan Gujin really is, but now that he's fled, he might call in many reinforcements.
On one hand, they're preparing various defenses, while on the other, they've sent people down to search the Shattered Cave Heaven World.
They want to find some useful treasures from the shattered Cave Heaven World.
After a while, the figure that previously used two silver needles to ambush Duan Gujin returned to the group.
After a brief exchange, that figure disappeared from sight.
"Everyone, be careful. That person is skilled in the Space Escape Technique and can easily use it here. Be cautious and don't let him sneak up on you!"
The martial artist referred to as 'Leader' said.
"Understood, Leader!"
The other martial artists responded.
However, they were unaware that Duan Gujin had already stealthily approached.
Duan Gujin did not reveal himself; instead, he released the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat, seeing if it could locate any valuable treasures here.
The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat extended its Divine Sense, carefully sensing the energy waves around.
After a while, the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat informed Duan Gujin that she sensed many different attribute energy waves emanating from a volcano fissure several kilometers to the left.
"Let's go together!"
Duan Gujin immediately took the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat to search for the energy waves she sensed.
A moment later, he saw a massive fissure appear in the volcano ahead, with scorching heat waves erupting from within.
Duan Gujin quickly circulated his Divine True Qi, and in the next moment, a small Defensive Light Shield formed around his body.
This Defensive Light Shield was only a thumb's distance from his skin.
"Hopefully, this fissure is large enough!"
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, allowing the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat to cling tightly to his shoulder as they together entered the fissure ahead.
The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat told him she felt intense energy waves of a powerful but different attribute.
Duan Gujin knew that for the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat, the stronger the energy waves sensed, the closer the object was to them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As they entered the fissure, numerous flames erupted from it.
Fortunately, those flames could not burn Duan Gujin nor could they scorch the clothes he was wearing.
The protective Light Shield surrounding Duan Gujin blocked the flames and also shielded the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat.
As he advanced, some rocks within the fissure obstructed his path, so he circulated Divine True Qi into his hands, then directly cleared away the rocks blocking his way.
Crunch! Crunch!
Along the way, many rocks were cleared by him.
Time passed bit by bit.
Duan Gujin had no idea how many hard rocks he had cleared until he saw a peculiar flowing light barrier appear ahead.
"What treasure is that?"
Looking at the strange flowing light treasure ahead, Duan Gujin's eyes flickered.
"Haha, finally some results! I should have brought out the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat earlier!"
He didn't release the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat right after entering the Holy Fire Forbidden Land because he felt she might not be able to conduct a thorough search.
Plus, with time being pressing, he didn't have the mood for a thorough search.
After discovering the Shattered Cave Heaven World, he simply observed for a while before suddenly being ambushed.
If he hadn't been ambushed at that time, he would have taken out the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat after a while.
The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat had informed him that searching for treasures nearby was extremely draining on Physical Strength.
Duan Gujin wanted to use her capabilities wisely, not waste her Physical Strength searching places unlikely to have treasures.
"What treasure is that?"
Duan Gujin initially wanted to grab the flowing light object but realized his Divine Power wasn't enough to bind the object ahead.
Thus, he continued clearing nearby rocks in a hurry.
The more rocks he cleared, the more the strange flowing light object ahead seemed like a Round Ball.
Moreover, it was a rather large Round Ball.
"Do you know what this treasure is?"
Duan Gujin hastily asked the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat on his shoulder.
The Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat answered, "I don't know what treasure this is. I can only tell you that I sense five different attribute powers—gold, wood, water, fire, earth—inside this treasure, and the Divine Power of these attribute powers is very strong!"
"What?"
Duan Gujin heard this and furrowed his brows tightly.
"I've only heard of a treasure with a strong singular attribute power containing potent Divine Power. Such a treasure is called a Heavenly Treasure. Could this huge Round Ball I'm seeing now be a Heavenly Treasure?"
He was momentarily puzzled but didn't dwell on it.
"I just need to excavate this treasure to find out what it really is!"
He took a deep breath, consumed some elixir pills, and circulated his Cultivation Technique to restore his strength.
After a while, he went outside and set up an Array to shield against Divine Sense probing.
He knew that once the treasure was revealed, it might overflow with intense Divine Power.
If those martial artists sensed strong energy waves emanating from here, they would rush over immediately.
At that time, Duan Gujin would have no choice but to escape.
If those martial artists were to fight him one-on-one, he believed his chances of winning were high.
But if those martial artists attacked together, then he'd have to flee quickly.
Of course, if he wanted to turn the situation around, it wasn't impossible.
He would need to ambush each martial artist one by one, but clearly, that would require a lot of effort.
And with time so pressing now, Duan Gujin didn't want to provoke those martial artists ahead.
After setting up the Array to shield against Divine Sense probing, he returned to the Round Ball's side.
Once his Divine True Qi recovered a bit, he started clearing rocks one by one around the Round Ball.
The rocks were extremely hard, and every time he cleared a rock, he had to take a deep breath and circulate all his Divine True Qi to clear it.
An hour later, he finally saw the true appearance of the treasure.
"Why does this treasure look so much like a tripod furnace?"
He noticed the treasure's shape was round, with a seam in the middle.
From the seam, he could deduce that one side of the seam was likely the tripod furnace cover, and the other side was the furnace itself.
