“Pop！ …”
In a cave at the bottom of a cliff near the Frost Sky Pavilion on the sixth floor of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower, Xu Taiping picked up the treasure chest dug out from the ground.
This treasure chest was exactly the second treasure hidden by the Mysterious Wilderness Great Emperor in the Mysterious Wilderness Tower.
Regarding the treasure map of this second treasure, Xu Taiping and the others had obtained it when they were on the fourth floor. It was just that because the burial place was on the sixth floor, they didn’t come to get it until today.
“Elder Zhang, how long has it been since we separated from Nan Xing and the others？”
Xu Taiping picked up the treasure chest in his hand and placed it on a rock, then turned to ask Elder Zhang who was guarding the cave entrance.
“Half a stick of incense, exactly half a stick of incense.”
Elder Zhang replied.
“That’s good.”
Xu Taiping nodded, and then continued while looking at the treasure chest in front of him：
“As long as we can reach the entrance of the seventh floor within a stick of incense, we can catch up and go to the seventh floor of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower with them.”
Originally, he, Elder Zhang, and Gongshu Nanxing planned to leave the tower directly after rescuing Gu Qingcheng, and then rest outside the tower for at least half a month before going to the seventh floor of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower.
But under the repeated pleadings of Gu Qingcheng, Xu Taiping finally agreed to go to the seventh floor to take a look first.
However, due to the tight time and the need to retrieve the treasure left by the Mysterious Wilderness Great Emperor, they finally decided to act separately. Gongshu Nanxing and Zhai Mo took Gu Qingcheng to enter the entrance of the seventh floor of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower first, while Xu Taiping and Elder Zhang came here to retrieve the treasure.
The reason for doing this is that as long as there is the Azure Dragon Token, Gongshu Nanxing and the others can wait for Xu Taiping and the others at the entrance for the time of one stick of incense, and during the waiting period, the time in the seventh floor of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower will not move forward.
In this way, Gu Qingcheng doesn’t have to worry about any changes happening in the seventh floor of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower during the waiting period, and Xu Taiping and the others can successfully obtain the treasure left by the Mysterious Wilderness Great Emperor.
Kill two birds with one stone.
”Young master, that Miss Qingcheng has been reluctant to reveal the plot of the demonic cultivators. She only said it has something to do with the descendant of the Xuanyuan family in the Zhenbei Prefecture. We can’t fully believe her words.”
Old Zhang hesitated for a moment and finally opened his mouth to persuade.
”Of course.”
Xu Taiping raised his head and nodded with a smile at Old Zhang.
Naturally, he wasn’t stupid enough to believe Gu Qingcheng right away.
The reason he agreed to go to the seventh floor was because a place that Gu Qingcheng accidentally revealed happened to be the place where he saw in his lotus pupil.
The only thing that puzzled him a little was that in the soul mark of the lotus pupil, this scene did not have Xuanyuan Xueluo.
Not only was Xuanyuan Xueluo not there, but in this scene, there were no soldiers of the White Tiger Armor or the Zhenbei Prefecture either.
”Moreover, I have already made an appointment with Miss Qingcheng that the first thing after ascending to the seventh floor of the Xuanhuang Pagoda is to let her tell us the conspiracy of Jiuyuan completely.”
While talking, Xu Taiping reached out and gently patted the treasure chest, shaking off all the mud on it.
”Then this old man is relieved.”
After hearing Xu Taiping’s words, Old Zhang let out a sigh of relief and then continued to guard the cave entrance with a vigilant look on his face.
”Click！…”
At this time, Xu Taiping had also opened the treasure chest with the key.
After opening the heavy lid of the treasure chest, several things in the treasure chest fell into Xu Taiping’s sight then came into Xu Taiping’s view
A jade slip, a bead, an oil-paper umbrella, and a piece of paper.”
And almost at the same time as he opened the lid, the voice of the Xuanhuang Pagoda’s spirit rang out in Xu Taiping’s mind——
Congratulations to the True Martial Heaven cultivator Rusty Lion for obtaining a copy of the Xuanhuang Great Emperor’s treasure, the Xuanhuang Skill , a celestial treasure, the Wind-Controlling Pearl, and a celestial treasure, the Cloud-Piercing Umbrella.
“These three treasures, except that the Xuanyuan Skill “Overturning the Sea Chapter” cannot be Cast within the Xuanyuan Tower, the Zhenfeng Pearl and the Piyun Umbrella can be used both inside and outside the Xuanyuan Tower simultaneously.
“However, when Cast within the tower, unless reaching the ninth floor of the Xuanyuan Tower, only the power of the spiritual treasure level can be exerted.
After listening to the introduction of the pagoda spirit, Xu Taiping’s heart suddenly filled with joy.
Because just as Fairy Lingyue had expected, the second step of the Xuanyuan Skill created by the Xuanyuan Emperor, the “Overturning the Sea Chapter”, was indeed in this second treasure chest.
In addition, the fact that the Zhenfeng Pearl and the Piyun Umbrella can be used both inside and outside the tower can also be used both inside and outside the tower exceeded Xu Taiping’s expectations. It was also somewhat beyond Xu Taiping’s expectations.
“This Zhenfeng Pearl is very similar to the Cangluan Ring and can convert true yuan into wind yuan and store it inside. When needed, it can be released together, etc.
“The slight difference is that it can be used to seal strong winds, and even the hurricanes on the sea can be sealed by it.”
“This Cloud-Piercing Umbrella should be a magic weapon with good defensive power. If it can exert the power of the spiritual treasure level, it should be no problem to withstand a full blow from a cultivator in the Divine Refinement Realm.”
After sensing these two treasures one by one with his mind, Xu Taiping was even more satisfied.
“However, what’s the matter with this piece of paper？ Why didn’t the Tower Spirit introduce it just now？”
After putting away those three treasures, Xu Taiping’s gaze suddenly fell on the piece of white paper in a very confused way.
Immediately, he picked up the piece of paper from the treasure chest and carefully unfolded it.
A line of rather wild cursive script then appeared in front of Xu Taiping’s eyes——
“Do you want to obtain the 《Sun-Penetrating Chapter》 of my Xuanyuanhuang Gong？ Do you want to obtain the key to my treasure house？ Then go and climb to the eleventh floor of the Xuanyuanhuang Tower and defeat my sword slave Wushuang.”
After carefully reading the sloppy handwriting on this piece of paper several times, Xu Taiping carefully put away the piece of paper and then a bitter smile appeared on his face and said:
“Leaving aside how powerful this sword slave Wushuang is, whether I can climb to the eleventh floor of the Xuanyuanhuang Tower is still uncertain.”
“Young Master.” Elder Zhang, who was guarding the cave entrance, suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Taiping. “The time is almost up.”
“Let’s go.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
Rather than challenging the Knife Slave, the most urgent matter for them at the moment is to ask Gu Qingcheng clearly what exactly happened on the seventh floor.
