"Here it is, my lord."
Wang Luo smiled as he pointed to the ruins of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance ahead. He bent slightly and nimbly guided Tang Haofei along, while Old Tang followed closely behind.
At this stage, there were no fools among the peak-level eight-tier practitioners. Under Tang Haofei's persuasion, Wang Luo came to terms with reality. He began to recount his story—a tale of a treasure hunter who stumbled upon a valuable treasure and was subsequently pursued when others noticed something was amiss.
Under Tang Haofei's martial deterrence, this military man named Wang Luo also had no choice but to lead the way...
Thus, the two arrived at the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Palace, the site of the ruins of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.
…
Looking at the surrounding ruins, Tang Haofei frowned.
The Heavenly Palace Treasure Land had been open for over several decades, where various practitioners had struck their first gold, and with the strong development by various forces, today's Heavenly Palace had already been turned upside down by the practitioners.
Indeed, almost every building and every piece of soil bore traces of being turned over by others.
"My lord, this way!"
Wang Luo smiled broadly as he pointed the way for Tang Haofei. Old Tang was cautious; he first released his senses to gauge the surroundings—besides a few scattered practitioners, there were no other people in the area. There were no traps or ambushes, so he merely furrowed his brow and followed Wang Luo slowly into the depths of the ruins.
Wang Luo stopped in front of a building first. He pointed to an ancient-style structure and cheerfully said to Tang Haofei, "Right here."
Only then did Old Tang look up.
What met his eyes was a miniature building in the style of the Immortal Heroic World. The building was small but exuded a sense of weariness from the passage of time, covered in seals and barriers. The strength of these seals and barriers was not low, but now there was a large breach torn open.
"It's the work of a little man."
Wang Luo chuckled, and Tang Haofei glanced at the breach in the seal before losing interest in the matter. Some special abilities indeed have the qualification to tear apart such seals.
After a brief observation, Tang Haofei instructed Wang Luo to wait there and then slipped into the building.
…
The interior of the building was dimly lit, but with Old Tang's keen eyesight, he could easily see the arrangement inside.
On the ground was a large pit that had been artificially dug out. At the bottom of the pit lay a simple black box, surrounded by a colorful glow, indicating the presence of a powerful sealing barrier.
Beside the box was a stone tablet with blurred writing, seemingly destroyed by time. Above the stone tablet were the indigenous characters of the Immortal Heroic World.
"I am Heaven-Piercing... this is a method to transcend... sovereign control..."
The unclear script was still understandable in general terms to Tang Haofei. He stood by the pit for a long time before sending a voice transmission to Wang Luo to come inside.
"This... is the treasure you mentioned?"
He pointed to the box in the pit and asked Wang Luo.
"Exactly, exactly."
"Then why didn't you take this thing?"
"I can't open this seal..."
"How do you know this is the method left by the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor to escape sovereign control?"
"It's all written here? My lord... you don't recognize the characters of the Immortal Heroic World?"
Entering a super treasure land and first learning the language and script within is standard for every treasure land hunter!
As for how to learn...
Using enlightenment, it’s not expensive either.
Wang Luo looked at Tang Haofei with a face full of surprise, while Old Tang felt somewhat speechless.
He keenly sensed that there was something wrong with this situation, but his slightly barren mind could not pinpoint the issue. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and unleashed a punch, completely shattering the seal.
The force that rebounded from the attack made Tang Haofei realize that the strength of this seal was indeed not weak.
