The entrance to the Treasure Vault was located in the cellar behind the Great Luo's house.
Wen Yu had already used his soul perception to find the location of the Treasure Vault, and he also saw the restrictions surrounding it.
However, it seemed that Bai had prepared well; a mere restriction shouldn’t pose any difficulty for him.
Sure enough, Bai, who had been pulled over by the Netherworld, simply rubbed his palms together with an expectant look and walked towards the house.
...
The restrictions were complex, and the energy intensity was quite high—at least if Wen Yu were to intervene, he could only resort to brute force, which would take an uncountable amount of time.
But Bai was indeed well-prepared.
He stood at the entrance of the Treasure Vault, arms wide open, and countless runes burst forth from his body, then drilled into the vault's door. Within ten seconds, the door gently trembled and then opened wide before Wen Yu's eyes.
"The immortal emperor set up seven secret treasure vaults, and this is one of them. It's the only place I know. If I hadn't switched bodies and couldn't overpower that Great Luo guy, there's no way this place would be cheapened for you..."
Bai complained to himself, and Wen Yu merely smiled without saying a word—strong treasures are meant to be possessed by the strong. Knowing about it was of no use if you couldn't even defeat the boss guarding it, right?
After a while, once Bai was done mumbling, he quickly composed himself and flashed Wen Yu a merchant-like smile, saying, "We agreed to split 28 percent; don’t try to fool me."
"Tsk..."
Wen Yu scoffed and shook his head, "How about 37 instead?"
"That works too!" Bai's eyes lit up.
With a loud slap, Wen Yu gave Bai a pat on the shoulder, causing him to stagger.
"Really, you’re overly optimistic. Hurry up."
Hearing Wen Yu's urging, Bai immediately pulled himself together, adopting a polite posture and bowing to Wen Yu, inviting him, "Now, let us receive the immortal emperor's legacy... um, a part of it..."
...
Bai was the first to step into the Treasure Vault, and Wen Yu quickly followed. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he furrowed his brow.
"This place..."
Looking around at the wooden shelves and the boxes on them, and glancing at the dark walls, Wen Yu couldn't help but ask, "Can this place block mental perception and connections?"
"Not only that! You know, the immortal emperor was the undeniable top figure in the Xianxia world. In terms of strength, he's tens of thousands of times stronger than me and the Heavenly Dao. This place was built by the immortal emperor himself and can be considered the last foundation of a world. The wall materials here are special, and there are rune protections. It can not only block mental perception and connections but also shield various communication devices. Overall, the security here is absolutely reliable. What's wrong?"
Seeing Wen Yu's expression, Bai asked knowingly.
Wen Yu simply shook his head, showing no signs of doubt, "It's just that I've never seen something like this before. Hmm, my mental connection with my spirit pet was cut off; something that the treasure land couldn't achieve, the immortal emperor has done. I'm quite impressed..."
Wen Yu sighed, and Bai smoothly picked up the conversation, "After all, you're too young and don't know many things. The professional system gives professionals great power, but this power is not just superficial; it's also profound. As long as you want to dig, you'll always find some peculiar things. Our original power system in the Xianxia world was excellent, with significant achievements in attack, defense, livelihoods, and technology. What happened? Once the professional system emerged, didn't it obliterate the original training system to ash?"
"That's the gap in levels; there's nothing to be done. Besides the professional system, which can advance to the supreme twelfth level, nothing else can!"
"Twelfth level?"
Wen Yu raised an eyebrow, curious about this level.
Bai was straightforward, leading Wen Yu deeper into the Treasure Vault as he explained, "The sovereign is at the twelfth level, and the demon lord is also at the twelfth level—two towering mountains beneath the professional system. No one else can reach it. The immortal emperor once tried to explore the secrets of the twelfth level, but it was hopeless. Oh, right, the world will of every world is also at the twelfth level, but the differences within that are significant."
