lín xuān děng rén kàn zhuó yǎn qián de diàn yǔ ， qì shì zhěng gè xū yú kōng jiān zhōng zuì dà de yī zuò ， gāo zú yǒu shí qī 、 bā zhàng de yàng zi ， fēn sān céng ， zhàn dì jí guǎng ， kàn shàng qù qì shì páng bó 。
林轩等人看着眼前的殿宇，泣是整个须臾空间中最大的一座，高足有十七、八丈的样子，分三层，占地极广，看上去气势磅礴。
Lin Xuan and the others gazed at the grand pavilion before them. It was the largest structure in the entire Momentary Realm, towering about seventeen or eighteen zhang high. The building had three levels and covered a vast area, exuding an imposing presence.
huā le zú zú bàn tiān de gōng fu ， tā men zǒng suàn niē suǒ wán le qí tā de jiàn zhù ， rán ér bō huò què liáo chá kě shù ， chú le zuì chū dé dào de nà jǐ jiàn bǎo wù ， zài qí tā de jiàn zhù zhōng zhǐ dé dào le chá chá jǐ yàng fǎ bǎo ， ràng jǐ rén zài jīng nù zhī yú ， dōu huái yí zhè mì mì zǒng duò gāi bú huì shì kōng jià zi 。
huā了足足半天的功夫，他们总算捏索完了其他的建筑，然而拨获却寥察可数，除了最初得到的那几件宝物，在其他的建筑中只得到了察察几样法宝，让几人在惊怒之余，都怀疑这秘密总舵该不会是空架子。
After nearly half a day of searching, they finally managed to examine all the other structures. However, their findings were sparse at best. Apart from the initial few treasures they found, they only discovered a handful of magical artifacts in the remaining buildings. This left them both amazed and wary, suspecting that this secret main hall might be nothing more than an empty shell.
huò zhě céng jīng yǒu rén lái guò ， jiāng bǎo wù dōu qǔ zǒu le 。
或者曾经有人来过，将宝物都取走了。
Perhaps someone had come before and taken away all the treasures.
dàn zhè ge kě néng xìng yīng gāi shì bú huì de ， rú guǒ yǒu rén jié zú xiān dēng ， tiān gāng wǔ xíng zhèn yīng gāi zǎo jiù pò hā ……，…
但这个可能性应该是不会的，如果有人捷足先登，天罡五行阵应该早就破哈……，…
But that was unlikely; if anyone had beaten them to it, the Heavenly罡 Pentagram Formation should have been broken by now...
hǎo zài hái yǒu zuì hòu yī dòng jiàn zhù 。
好在还有最后一栋建筑。
Fortunately, there was one last building left.
yī kàn jiù shì zhǔ diàn de yàng zi ， yě xǔ bǎo wù quán dōu jí zhōng yú cǐ chù 。
一看就是主殿的样子，也许宝物全都集中于此处。
It looked like the main pavilion. Perhaps all the treasures were concentrated here.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， jǐ rén de liǎn shàng ， quán dōu lù chū le rè qiè zhī sè 。
心中如此想着，几人的脸上，全都露出了热切之色。
With this thought in mind, their faces lit up with eager anticipation.
tā men zài lí diàn mén shí yú zhàng yuǎn chù ， fēn fēn tíng xià le jiǎo bù ， lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú ， zhǐ jiàn zhè diàn mén gāo dà yǐ jí ， biǎo miàn huā wén bān bó ， wú shù fú wén ruò yǐn ruò xiàn zhe 。
他们在离殿门十余丈远处，纷纷停下了脚步，林轩抬起头颅，只见这殿门高大以极，表面huā纹斑驳，无数符文若隐若现着。
They stopped about ten zhang away from the door and Lin Xuan raised his head to look at it. The door was incredibly tall, its surface marred by intricate patterns, with countless talisman inscriptions faintly visible.
lín xuān méi tóu wēi tiāo ， móu dǐ shēn chù ， shǎn guò yī lǚ yì sè ， zhì yú qí tā de xiū xiān zhě ， biǎo qíng yě dōu níng zhòng qǐ lái le ” tā men bù shǎ ， zhè diàn mén shàng ， míng xiǎn shì bù yǒu fēi cháng lì hài de jìn zhì a ！ bù guò kàn zhuó yǎn qián de yí mù ， zhòng rén què huān xǐ jū duō ， cǐ chù shè fáng chóng chóng ， shí yǒu ** zhēn cáng yǒu zhēn guì bǎo wù 。
林轩眉头微挑，眸底深处，闪过一缕异色，至于其他的修仙者，表情也都凝重起来了”他们不傻，这殿门上，明显是布有非常厉害的禁制啊！不过看着眼前的一幕，众人却欢喜居多，此处设防重重，十有**真藏有珍贵宝物。
Lin Xuan's eyebrows rose slightly as a strange glint appeared in his eyes. The other cultivators also grew solemn; they were not fools and could clearly see that powerful禁制 had been set up on this door!
“ ē mí tuó fó ， zhū wèi dào yǒu kě néng kàn chū zhè zhèn fǎ de lái lì me ？”
“阿弥陀佛，诸位道友可能看出这阵法的来历么？”
But despite the ominous signs, everyone was more relieved than alarmed. This place seemed heavily guarded, and there was an 80% chance of valuable treasures being hidden here.
lín xuān méi yǒu kāi kǒu ， qí yú zhī rén yě dōu liǎn lù nán sè ， xiū xiān bǎi yì ， měi yī yàng dōu hào hàn yǐ jí ， xiǎng yào yán jiū xū yào huā fèi jí duō de shí jiān yǔ jīng lì ， tā men xiū liàn shàng kǒng bù jí ， nǎ hái yǒu xián qíng yì zhì zuò fēn xīn zhī shì 。
林轩没有开口，其余之人也都脸露难色，修仙百艺，每一样都浩瀚以极，想要研究需要huā费极多的时间与精力，他们修炼尚恐不及，哪还有闲情逸致做分心之事。
"Namaste, fellow daoists, can any of you identify the origin of this formation?"
jiàn zhòng rén jiē bù jiē kǒu ， jīn hóng chán shī tàn le kǒu qì ：“ jì rú cǐ ， dài pín sēng shì shì 。”
见众人皆不接口，金泓禅师叹了口气：“既如此，待贫僧试试。”
Lin Xuan did not speak, but the others all looked hesitant. Cultivation arts were vast and deep, requiring immense time and effort to study. With their own cultivation already a challenge, they had no extra energy for such matters.
huà yīn wèi luò ， tā zài hòu nǎo yī mō ， yī shì yàng gǔ piáo de dùn pái dùn shí fú xiàn chū lái ， zhè lǎo hé shàng ， dào yě mán cōng míng de ， bù qiú yǒu gōng ， dàn qiú wú guò 。
话音未落，他在后脑一摸，一式样古朴的盾牌顿时浮现出来，这老和尚，倒也蛮聪明的，不求有功，但求无过。
Seeing that none responded, Jin Hong, the Zen master, sighed: "Very well, let me give it a try."
suí hòu dà xiù yī fú ， nà jīn bō dùn shí fú xiàn chū lái le 。
随后大袖一拂，那金钵顿时浮现出来了。
Before his words could finish, he touched the back of his head, and an ancient-looking shield materialized. This old monk was quite clever; he sought no credit but only avoided blame.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Following this, he waved his sleeves, and the golden bowl appeared before him.
lǎo sēng yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù ， jīn bō yī shǎn ， cóng lǐ miàn fēi shè chū yī dào shǎn diàn ， yuē yǒu ér bì cū ， hěn hěn de pī luò zài yǎn qián de diàn mén le 。
老僧一指向前点去，金钵一闪，从里面飞射出一道闪电，约有儿臂粗，狠狠的劈落在眼前的殿门了。
"Quickly!"
guǐ yì de shì ， wú shēng wú xī ” nà xiē ruò yǐn ruò xiàn de fú wén tū rán liàng qǐ ， suí hòu guǐ yì de lián chéng yī qì ， yī céng hóng lán liǎng sè de hù zhào chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ ， nà shǎn diàn jiù zhè me qīng yì de bèi xī le jìn qù 。
诡异的是，无声无息”那些若隐若现的符文突然亮起，随后诡异的连成一气，一层红蓝两色的护罩出现在视线里，那闪电就这么轻易的被吸了进去。
The old monk pointed a finger forward. The golden bowl flashed, emitting a lightning bolt about as thick as one's arm, which struck the door with force.
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， ràng zhòng xiū shì miàn miàn xiāng qù ， hǎo zài zǒng suàn méi yǒu xiàng tiān gāng wǔ xíng zhèn yàng de fā dòng fǎn jī 。
这样的结果，让众修士面面相觑，好在总算没有像天罡五行阵样的发动反击。
Surprisingly, there was no sound or visible reaction; the faint talisman inscriptions suddenly lit up, forming a red and blue protective barrier that absorbed the lightning effortlessly.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
然而就在这时，一声巨响传入耳朵。
This result left everyone speechless. Thankfully, they had not triggered any counterattack like the Heavenly罡 Pentagram Formation.
zhòng xiū shì de biǎo qíng ， dùn shí biàn le ， wú tā ， nà jù xiǎng ， jū rán shì cóng yǎn qián de jiàn zhù lǐ miàn chuán chū ” zài chǎng de nǎ yí gè bú shì lǎo jiān jù huá zhī tú ， rú hé huì bù qīng chǔ ， zhè jiū jìng yì wèi zhe shén me 。
众修士的表情，顿时变了，无他，那巨响，居然是从眼前的建筑里面传出”在场的哪一个不是老奸巨猾之徒，如何会不清楚，这究竟意味着什么。
Just then, a loud noise echoed through their ears.
“ bù hǎo ， cǐ dì hái yǒu qí tā de xiū xiān zhě ， zhēn yǒu rén ， bǐ wǒ děng jié zú xiān dēng 。”
“不好，此地还有其他的修仙者，真有人，比我等捷足先登。”
The cultivators' expressions changed instantly. The sound was coming from inside the building. None of them were fools; they knew exactly what it meant.
“ bù kě néng ， tiān gāng wǔ xíng zhèn shàng wèi pò chú ， tā men shì zhè me jìn rù zhè lǐ de ？” xiān mù yī lán de liǎn shàng mǎn shì bù néng zhì xìn zhī sè 。
“不可能，天罡五行阵尚未破除，他们是这么进入这里的？”纤幕伊蓝的脸上满是不能置信之色。
"Bad news, there are other cultivators here, and someone has beaten us to it."
“ jiù shì ， yǎn qián de diàn mén ， yě wán hǎo wú sǔn ， nán dào duì fāng hái néng huà chéng cāng yíng ， rán hòu fēi jìn qù bù chéng ？” lín xuān de shēng yīn yě chuán rù ěr duǒ ， biǎo qíng tóng yàng jīng nù 。
“就是，眼前的殿门，也完好无损，难道对方还能化成苍蝇，然后飞进去不成？”林轩的声音也传入耳朵，表情同样惊怒。
"It's impossible! The Heavenly罡 Pentagram Formation hasn't been broken yet—how did they get in?" Iblan's face was filled with disbelief.
tīng liǎng rén zhè yàng shuō ， qí tā jǐ rén yě fú xiàn chū yí sè ， shì a ， tài qí guài le ， nán dào shì zì jǐ gāng cái tīng cuò ” kě zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， nà jù xiǎng shēng yòu chuán lái le ， ér qiě yī shēng bǐ yī shēng jí cù ， jiǎn zhí jiù gēn jīng tiān pī lì chà bu duō 。
听两人这样说，其他几人也浮现出疑色，是啊，太奇怪了，难道是自己刚才听错”可这个念头尚未转过，那巨响声又传来了，而且一声比一声急促，简直就跟睛天霹雳差不多。
"And the door is still intact. Could they have turned into flies and flown inside?" Lin Xuan's voice echoed, his expression equally shocked and angry.
zhè yī huí ， zài bù huì yǒu rén shuō zì jǐ tīng cuò ， jué duì yǒu rén xiān yī bù ， bǐ tā men jìn rù le yǎn qián de jiàn zhù 。
这一回，再不会有人说自己听错，绝对有人先一步，比他们进入了眼前的建筑。
Hearing this, the others also showed signs of doubt. It was indeed strange; could they have misheard? But before they could fully process their thoughts, the loud noise came again, more urgent than ever, like a thunderclap in clear skies.
jǐ rén jīng nù zhī yú ， miàn miàn xiāng qù ， zhè yàng de qíng kuàng ， shì shuí yě bù céng xiǎng dào dì 。
几人惊怒之余，面面相觑，这样的情况，是谁也不曾想到地。
This time, no one would claim to have heard wrongly—someone had entered the building ahead of them.
“ hái děng shén me ， jiāng yǎn qián de jìn zhì pò chú ， fǒu zé ， bǎo wù dōu yào bèi tā men guā fēn guāng le 。”
“还等什么，将眼前的禁制破除，否则，宝物都要被他们瓜分光了。”
Amidst their shock and anger, they looked at each other. Such a situation was beyond anyone's expectations.
jīn yì bào nüè de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ ， tā kě bù xiǎng xīn kǔ le bàn tiān què wèi bié rén zuò le jià yī ， hǎo bù róng yì lái dào zhè lǐ ， fèi le ruò dà de lì qì ， zuì hòu què zhǐ dé dào xiē xǔ gǔ bǎo ér yǐ 。
金义暴虐的声音传入耳里，他可不想辛苦了半天却为别人做了嫁衣，好不容易来到这里，费了偌大的力气，最后却只得到些许古宝而已。
"Let's not wait any longer; break this禁制. Otherwise, all our efforts will be for naught."
huà yīn wèi luò ， tā yǐ yī jì zhí quán xiàng qián dǎ chū ， jīn guāng yī shǎn ， fù jìn de tiān dì yuán qì níng chéng yī jù dà de tiě quán ， hē hē de dǎo xiàng le qián miàn 。
话音未落，他已一记直拳像前打出，金光一闪，附近的天地元气凝成一巨大的铁拳，呵呵的捣像了前面。
Jin Yi's rough voice rang out. He did not want to spend his time for others' gain after all the effort he had put in. Finally reaching here, he expended so much energy only to find a few ancient treasures.
zhè yī quán de wēi lì ， míng xiǎn yuǎn yuǎn de shèng guò le gāng cái de shì tàn zhī jǔ 。
这一拳的威力，明显远远的胜过了刚才的试探之举。
Before his words could finish, he threw a straight punch forward. Golden light flashed as nearby primordial qi coalesced into a massive iron fist, which pounded towards the door with force.
guāng zhào fú wén yī shǎn ， sì hū lüè yǒu xiē àn dàn ， dāng rán ， hěn bù míng xiǎn ， xiǎng yào jiāng qí dǎ làn ， hái bù zhī dào xū yào duō shǎo quán 。
光罩符文一闪，似乎略有些暗淡，当然，很不明显，想要将其打烂，还不知道需要多少拳。
This punch was clearly more powerful than their previous test.
dàn zǒng suàn shì yǒu xiào guǒ ， zhòng rén yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī xǐ sè ， yě bù yòng jīn yì zhāo hū ， fēn fēn jì chū zì jǐ de bǎo wù ， pū tiān gài dì de cháo diàn mén de hù zhào hōng jī ér qù le ， yī shí jiān gè sè líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， jiāng zhěng gè yī dà piàn hù zhào dōu lóng zài le lǐ miàn 。
但总算是有效果，众人眼中闪过一丝喜色，也不用金义招呼，纷纷祭出自己的宝物，铺天盖地的朝殿门的护罩轰击而去了，一时间各色灵光狂闪，将整个一大片护罩都笼在了里面。
The talisman inscription flickered slightly but not noticeably. It would take countless punches to destroy it, but there were signs of progress.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， yě jiāng yī bǐng jīn sè de bǎo jiàn fàng chū ， yǔ zhòng rén yì qǐ ， xiàng hù zhào kuáng gōng ér qù ， nà bǎo jiàn líng guāng liú zhuǎn ， jiàn qì dī tiān ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， wēi lì lìng rén dèng mù ， rán ér shí jì luò zài hù zhào shàng ， què wán quán bú shì nà me yī huí shì le ， shèn zhì yīn wèi shǔ xìng de wèn tí ， hái dǐ dǎng le tóng bàn men yī bù fèn de gōng jī ， zhǐ bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què méi yǒu rén kàn chū lái de 。
林轩眉头一皱，也将一柄金色的宝剑放出，与众人一起，像护罩狂攻而去，那宝剑灵光流转，剑气滴天，表面上看，威力令人瞪目，然而实际落在护罩上，却完全不是那么一回事了，甚至因为属性的问题，还抵挡了同伴们一部分的攻击，只不过此时此刻，却没有人看出来的。
Everyone's eyes lit up as they did not need Jin Yi's command and unleashed their treasures, raining down on the door’s protective barrier. Various colors of spiritual light flashed, enveloping the entire area.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， liǎng míng lái zì shèng chéng de dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě yǐ jīng lái dào xiǎo dǎo le 。
与此同时，两名来自圣城的洞玄期修仙者已经来到小岛了。
Lin Xuan frowned and released a golden sword, joining in the assault on the barrier. The sword emitted a swirling light, with sword energy slicing through the air, appearing powerful to the naked eye. However, it barely made an impact when it hit the barrier, even repelling some of his companions' attacks. But no one noticed this at the moment.
“ yú xiōng ， nǐ què dìng shì zhè lǐ jīng ”
“余兄，你确定是这里荆”
At the same time, two Inner Profound Realm cultivators from the Holy City arrived on the island.
“ zhì shǎo yǒu bā chéng de bǎ wò 。” jīn fà lǎo zhě ào rán de shuō 。
“至少有八成的把握。”金发老者傲然的说。
"Brother Yu, are you sure it's here?"
“ bā chéng de bǎ wò ？”
“八成的把握？”
"At least 80% certain," said the balding old man proudly.
“ bù cuò ， zhè lǐ de tiān dì yuán qì ， hái cán liú zhe hùn luàn de qì xī ， ér qiě wǒ yǐn yǐn xiù dào le jǐ gǔ rén lèi xiū shì cái yǒu de shēng qì ， tā men yīng gāi hái zài zhè lǐ 。”
“不错，这里的天地元气，还残留着混乱的气息，而且我隐隐嗅到了几股人类修士才有的生气，他们应该还在这里。”
"80% certainty?"
“ nà wèi hé wǒ men sī háo fā xiàn yě wú ， zhè zuò xiǎo dǎo bìng bù dà ， bù kě néng jiāng nǐ wǒ èr rén de shén shí mán guò 。” dào zhuāng lǎo zhě yǒu diǎn yí huò 。
“那为何我们丝毫发现也无，这座小岛并不大，不可能将你我二人的神识瞒过。”道装老者有点疑惑。
"Yes. The primordial qi in this area still shows signs of chaos, and I can sense a few human cultivators' lifeforce. They should be around."
jiù suàn shī zhǎn liǎn qì shù ， huò zhě yòng bié de bǎo wù yǐn nì le qì xī ， yě duō shǎo gāi yǒu yī xiē zōng jì 。
就算施展敛气术，或者用别的宝物隐匿了气息，也多少该有一些踪迹。
"But why didn't we detect anything? This island is not large enough to hide our divine senses," the Daoist elder was puzzled.
“ nǐ wèn wǒ ， wǒ nǎ lǐ qīng chǔ ， zǒng yào zhǎo zhǎo ， cái néng zài zuò dìng duó 。” jīn fà lǎo zhě yī biān shuō ， yī biān jiāng shēn xíng là xià lái le 。
“你问我，我哪里清楚，总要找找，才能再做定夺。”金发老者一边说，一边将身形落下来了。
Even if they had used敛气术 or hidden their aura with other treasures, some trace would have remained.
shuāng jiǎo zhān dì yǐ hòu ， tā bì shàng shuāng móu ， jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， kǒu zhōng niàn niàn yǒu cí ， kāi shǐ shī zhǎn mǒu zhǒng shén mì de zhǎo xún fǎ shù 。
双脚沾地以后，他闭上双眸，将神识放出，口中念念有词，开始施展某种神秘的找寻法术。
"I don’t know; we need to search before making a decision." The balding old man closed his eyes and stepped down. After touching the ground, he closed his eyes and began to cast an unknown searching spell.
hěn kuài jiù yǒu le xiàn suǒ ， yǎn jīng chóng xīn zhēng kāi le 。
很快就有了线索，眼睛重新睁开了。
Soon, there were signs of something.
“ yú xiōng ， rú hé ？”
“余兄，如何？”
Opening his eyes again, he said: "Brother Yu, how about it?"
dào zhuāng lǎo zhě de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī xīng è fèn zhī sè 。
道装老者的眼中闪过一丝兴垩奋之色。
Excitement flashed in the Daoist elder's eyes.
“ zài hú dǐ 。”
“在湖底。”
"Under the lake."
jīn fà lǎo guài de yán yǔ jiǎn lüè yǐ jí ， èr huà bù shuō jiù xiàng nà hú shuǐ lǐ yuè le jìn qù 。
金发老怪的言语简略以极，二话不说就像那湖水里跃了进去。
The balding old man's words were brief. Without hesitation, he leaped into the water.
jiàn zhēn fā xiàn le dí rén de zōng jì ， dào zhuāng lǎo zhě dà xǐ ， èr huà bù shuō de gēn le shàng qù 。
见真发现了敌人的踪迹，道装老者大喜，二话不说的跟了上去。
Seeing that they had indeed found their enemy, the Daoist elder was overjoyed and followed without a word.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
"What is this..."
hěn kuài dào le hú dǐ ， tiān gāng wǔ xíng zhèn yǐ bèi pò qù ， kàn zhuó yǎn qián de yī piàn láng jí ， liǎng lǎo guài bù jīng fǎn xǐ ， yě shùn zhe shí jiē zǒu le xià qù 。
很快到了湖底，天罡五行阵已被破去，看着眼前的一片狼藉，两老怪不惊反喜，也顺着石阶走了下去。
They reached the bottom of the lake where the Heavenly罡 Pentagram Formation had been broken. The sight before them was chaotic. The two old men were not alarmed but rather pleased, following the stone steps down.
dà tīng zhōng yī qiè rú gù ， kàn zhe nà shí mén ， qiū lǎo guài xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào jiàn qì fēi lüè ér chū ， pēng ， shí mén què sī háo fǎn yìng yě wú 。
大厅中一切如故，看着那石门，邱老怪袖袍一拂，一道剑气飞掠而出，嘭，石门却丝毫反应也无。
The hall remained as it was. Seeing the stone door, Qiu's old man flicked his sleeve and a sword energy shot out, only to find no reaction from the door.
gèng lìng rén jīng è de shì ， shàng miàn lián jiàn hén dōu méi yǒu ， yǔ lín xuān wǔ rén yī duī jiù kāi de qíng xíng dà bù xiāng tóng 。
更令人惊愕的是，上面连剑痕都没有，与林轩五人一堆就开的情形大不相同。
What was even more astonishing was that there was no trace of a sword mark; this was vastly different from how Lin Xuan and the others had broken through.
“ zhè shì shén me dōng xī ？”
“这是什么东西？”
"What is this?"
qiū lǎo guài yǒu xiē chà yì ， tā kě shì dòng xuán qī ， suí shǒu yī jī yě yǒu yí shān dǎo hǎi de shí lì 。
邱老怪有些诧异，他可是洞玄期，随手一击也有移山倒海的实力。
Qiu's old man was surprised. He was at Inner Profound Realm and could easily move mountains with his strikes.
PS： wǎn shàng hái yǒu ， jīn tiān huì bào fā de ， jì xù qiú tuī jiàn piào 。！~！
PS：晚上还有，今天会爆发的，继续求推荐票。！~！
PS: More to come tonight, I'll be updating heavily! Please keep recommending me!
Lin Xuan and the others gazed at the grand pavilion before them. It was the largest structure in the entire Momentary Realm, towering about seventeen or eighteen zhang high. The building had three levels and covered a vast area, exuding an imposing presence.
After nearly half a day of searching, they finally managed to examine all the other structures. However, their findings were sparse at best. Apart from the initial few treasures they found, they only discovered a handful of magical artifacts in the remaining buildings. This left them both amazed and wary, suspecting that this secret main hall might be nothing more than an empty shell.
Perhaps someone had come before and taken away all the treasures.
But that was unlikely; if anyone had beaten them to it, the Heavenly罡 Pentagram Formation should have been broken by now...
Fortunately, there was one last building left.
It looked like the main pavilion. Perhaps all the treasures were concentrated here.
With this thought in mind, their faces lit up with eager anticipation.
They stopped about ten zhang away from the door and Lin Xuan raised his head to look at it. The door was incredibly tall, its surface marred by intricate patterns, with countless talisman inscriptions faintly visible.

However, it barely made an impact when it hit the barrier, even repelling some of his companions' attacks. But no one noticed this at the moment.
At the same time, two Inner Profound Realm cultivators from the Holy City arrived on the island.
"Brother Yu, are you sure it's here?"
"At least 80% certain," said the balding old man proudly.
"80% certainty?"
"Yes. The primordial qi in this area still shows signs of chaos, and I can sense a few human cultivators' lifeforce. They should be around."
"But why didn't we detect anything? This island is not large enough to hide our divine senses," the Daoist elder was puzzled.
Even if they had used敛气术 or hidden their aura with other treasures, some trace would have remained.
"I don’t know; we need to search before making a decision." The balding old man closed his eyes and stepped down. After touching the ground, he closed his eyes and began to cast an unknown searching spell.
Soon, there were signs of something.
Opening his eyes again, he said: "Brother Yu, how about it?"
Excitement flashed in the Daoist elder's eyes.
"Under the lake."
The balding old man's words were brief. Without hesitation, he leaped into the water.
Seeing that they had indeed found their enemy, the Daoist elder was overjoyed and followed without a word.
"What is this..."
They reached the bottom of the lake where the Heavenly罡 Pentagram Formation had been broken. The sight before them was chaotic. The two old men were not alarmed but rather pleased, following the stone steps down.
The hall remained as it was. Seeing the stone door, Qiu's old man flicked his sleeve and a sword energy shot out, only to find no reaction from the door.
What was even more astonishing was that there was no trace of a sword mark; this was vastly different from how Lin Xuan and the others had broken through.
"What is this?"
Qiu's old man was surprised. He was at Inner Profound Realm and could easily move mountains with his strikes.
