Chapter 1064 Treasure Light Soaring to the Sky

 

Murong Jian bowed to the thirty elite members of the Lin family and said, “Please guide me.”

After bringing the people to Fang Yu’s presence, Lin Zhenshu had nothing else to do, so he left.

“I’ll take you to meet the person in charge here,” Fang Yu said.

But at that moment, Bai Konggu hurriedly walked out from the inner courtyard.

Seeing this group of people, Bai Konggu was stunned for a moment, then realized they were the guards Fang Yu had found.

“Perfect timing, let me introduce you,” Fang Yu said.

“We can do introductions later, I have urgent news to tell you,” Bai Konggu said.

Seeing Bai Konggu’s serious expression, Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and asked, “What is it?”

“Come with me.” Bai Konggu said, turning to walk toward the inner courtyard.

“Wait here for a moment,” Fang Yu said to Murong Jian and Su Changge, then followed Bai Konggu into the inner courtyard.

…

After passing through many courtyards, Fang Yu arrived again at the courtyard responsible for monitoring various locations.

Last time he came, there was a white-robed member of the Sky Watching Bureau in front of each glass sphere.

But today, some of the glass spheres had no one watching over them.

“Many Sky Watching Bureau personnel have already returned, and Great Wei is still contacting the rest,” Bai Konggu said.

As he spoke, Bai Konggu led Fang Yu to a position on the right side.

Arriving in front of one of the glass spheres, Bai Konggu stopped.

“Display the image,” Bai Konggu said to the person controlling this glass sphere.

The Sky Watching Bureau member placed both hands on the glass sphere and chanted an incantation.

The glass sphere emitted a burst of light, and a light screen appeared before their eyes.

The image on the screen showed a view from high in the sky.

Below the high altitude view was an island.

At this moment, an intense light was emanating from the center of the island.

The appearance of this light made the image extremely blurry, making it difficult to see the situation on the island.

“Change the angle,” Bai Konggu said.

The person controlling the glass sphere chanted another incantation.

The image on the light screen immediately changed.

Now, the angle of the view changed to a horizontal perspective of the island.

From this angle, they could see a beam of light shooting up from the center of the island, straight into the sky.

This beam of light looked somewhat like blue light, but upon closer inspection, it appeared more purple.

The beam was extremely large, penetrating the clouds in the sky, its height impossible to estimate.

“Where is this?” Fang Yu asked, his eyes flickering.

“Sun Island,” Bai Konggu turned to look at Fang Yu and said with a grave expression.

“Sun Island!?” Surprise appeared in Fang Yu’s eyes.

Wasn’t that the next location where an alien race might awaken that he was planning to visit?

Today was only the 23rd, how could anomalies be appearing already?

“You believed that the subsequent locations would all be alien race awakenings… but from what we’re seeing, that doesn’t seem to be the case,” Bai Konggu said in a deep voice. “Judging from the anomaly appearing on Sun Island… this is a typical treasure light.”

“What treasure light?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

“It’s the kind of light that appears when top-tier treasures emerge,” Bai Konggu said.

This kind of phenomenon did exist in the previous cultivation world.

Once such a light appeared, it either meant a supreme treasure was manifesting, or a location containing top-tier inheritance was opening.

Looking at it this way… there was no alien race about to awaken on Sun Island, but rather a treasure about to emerge?

Fang Yu’s eyes flickered as he looked at Bai Konggu and asked, “When did this light appear?”

“According to our monitoring, it should have been last night,” the monitoring personnel nearby said.

“Last night… this news hasn’t spread out yet, has it?” Fang Yu asked.

Bai Konggu shook his head and said, “Sun Island is one of the popular tourist spots in Yan Xia… with such an anomaly appearing, given how advanced media is nowadays, this is probably being reported everywhere.”

“I see… then it will likely attract many cultivators,” Fang Yu said, stroking his chin.

“Naturally… according to past rules, our Sky Watching Bureau would also announce this news,” Bai Konggu said.

Fang Yu nodded, but felt Bai Konggu staring at him.

“What is it?” Fang Yu asked.

“Now, should we announce this news or not?” Bai Konggu asked.

Fang Yu thought for a moment and said, “If it was announced in the past, then do the same now… many people will know about it anyway.”

“If you want to obtain that treasure, the fewer competitors, the better,” Bai Konggu said.

“Me?” Fang Yu was surprised and said, “I’m not interested in treasures. I’m only interested in… what kind of treasure will appear on Sun Island, or… whether it’s really a treasure emerging at all.”

“You think this kind of anomaly is unrelated to a treasure emerging?” Bai Konggu asked.

“I can’t be certain, I just find it strange,” Fang Yu said.

“…When will you go to Sun Island?” Bai Konggu asked again.

“Now,” Fang Yu answered.

…

After seeing the anomaly on Sun Island, Fang Yu immediately left the Sky Watching Bureau with Su Changge and teleported to Sun Island.

Fang Yu didn’t position himself directly on Sun Island, but rather at East Capital Port, the closest point to Sun Island.

At this moment, many spectators were standing there.

The vast majority of these people were ordinary humans, using phones or cameras to capture this once-in-a-century spectacle.

There were too many people at the port, blocking the view.

So Fang Yu and Su Changge used their movement techniques to reach a cargo ship ahead.

Standing on the deck of the cargo ship and looking forward, they could see the scene of Sun Island more clearly.

A blue-purple beam of light rose from the center of Sun Island, directly penetrating the clouds in the sky.

The intensity of this light… was extremely high.

It was even stronger than the seven beams of light that had appeared on Blazing Flame Mountain Range before.

According to treasure hunters from the cultivation world, the stronger the light, the more precious the treasure.

Judging by the intensity of this beam… Fang Yu had never seen anything like it before.

“Could there really be a top-tier treasure about to emerge?” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly as he thought.

“Boss, should we go to the island and take a look?” Su Changge said, “While we have the chance… before other cultivators arrive.”

“Wait for me here, I’ll go take a look,” Fang Yu said.

With that, Fang Yu rushed forward.

As he approached Sun Island, he released his divine sense, covering the entire island.

However, the light on the island still obscured most of the area, making it impossible to see the situation clearly even through divine sense.

Fang Yu frowned deeply and activated his Eye of Insight.

In the vision of the Eye of Insight, he could finally see many things.

Using just x-ray vision, he found nothing unusual. The island looked normal, and there were no anomalies underground.

But after breaking down the structure of the entire island… he could see complex lines densely covering it.

Various forces of law emanated from these lines.

The entire island was a massive formation!

And this formation… obviously hadn’t been activated yet.

The so-called treasure would likely only appear after the formation was activated.

Fang Yu closed his eyes, sensing the aura emanating from the island.

There was nothing special.

“How mysterious… what will appear?” Fang Yu stood at the edge of the island, looking up at the beam of light shooting straight into the sky.

After wandering around Sun Island for a while, Fang Yu returned to the deck of the cargo ship.

“How was it, Boss? Did you find anything? Should we make the first move and get the treasure?” Su Changge asked excitedly.

“Think of the island as a safe. We don’t have the password, so we can only wait for the safe to open automatically tomorrow,” Fang Yu glanced at Su Changge and said.

“We could pick the lock!” Su Changge said.

“The safe has a device that will explode if you pick the lock, destroying everything inside,” Fang Yu said. “So, we can’t pick the lock.”

This was the conclusion Fang Yu reached after observing the formation for a long time.

Originally, he also wanted to find a way to activate the formation early.

But after carefully observing the arrangement of the formation, he discovered… the arrangement of this formation was extremely profound. No one except the formation’s master could alter its contents.

Any attempt to tamper with the formation would cause it to fail completely.

And the treasure hidden within the formation would never appear again.

Therefore, Fang Yu wasn’t in a hurry.

When the formation activated at ten o’clock tomorrow morning… all would be revealed.

“Is it really just a treasure, with no connection to alien races?” This was the only doubt in Fang Yu’s mind.

“Boss, are we going to wait here until tomorrow?” Su Changge asked.

“That won’t be necessary. Let’s go back and get some sleep first. We’ll return here before ten o’clock tomorrow after having breakfast,” Fang Yu replied.

With that, Fang Yu activated his spatial ring, used his teleportation technique, and returned to North Capital with Su Changge.

About half an hour later, a figure flashed at the shore of Sun Island.

From its appearance, it was an infant.

Red-glowing eyes, with a black spiral mark on its head.

It was the Evil Infant of the Netherworld Race that had escaped from Fang Yu’s hands earlier!

Now, the Evil Infant floated in mid-air, looking at the beam of light ahead, and the mark on its head… actually flickered with bursts of black light!

“Whoosh!”

The Evil Infant didn’t stay in place for long before rushing toward the center of the light beam.
