Chapter 264: Where Is the Treasure? (1/2)

”Anyway, you can stay here for as long as you like until the Mystic Realm begins. Although it might be a long shot, try to breakthrough to the Spirit Master realm before then. While your cultivation base may not matter in the Mystic Realm, it'll definitely shock a lot of people and affect their minds and performance.” Elder Xuan said to him.

”If you need anything from me, just contact me using the communication jade slip. I'll be at the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower with the Sect Master and the others.”

Yuan nodded, and he suddenly asked, ”How are the guests doing? Did they manage to clear the tower yet?”

Elder Xuan shook his head and spoke with a smile on his face, ”No, but one of them managed to reach the 100th floor. You didn't tell me about the dragon.”

”Oh… I forgot… I'm sorry.” Yuan said.

”Hahaha… Don't worry about it. It was a pleasant surprise. We won't blame you for it.” Elder Xuan laughed out loud.

Sometime later, Elder Xuan left the place, leaving Yuan alone at Dragon's Peak.

”What am I supposed to do here? Just sit down and cultivate?” Yuan mumbled to himself since Elder Xuan didn't exactly give him any instructions.

”By the way, Xiao Hua, can you see the treasure in this place with your Divine Sense? I couldn't sense anything.” Yuan suddenly asked her.

”No, Xiao Hua cannot sense anything either. The people in this place should've already swept this entire place with their Divine Sense, anyway, so either there's no treasure in this place or it cannot be found through normal means.”

”Through normal means? How else can we locate a treasure besides our Divine Sense?” Yuan asked.

”There are treasures that can locate other treasures. There are also magical beasts with special senses that allow them to pick up treasure. There are even powerful arrays that can pinpoint treasures as long as it's within the array. There are many methods one can use to locate treasures. However, unless they're incredibly incompetent, the people of this sect should've already tried all of these methods throughout the years.”

”If that's the case, perhaps there really is no treasure in this place, and this abundant spiritual energy is merely a natural phenomenon?” Yuan said.

”No, there's definitely a treasure in this place.” Xiao Hua suddenly said. ”Xiao Hua just analyzed the flow of the spiritual energy in this place, and it's not natural. Something here is attracting the spiritual energy to this place.”

”Really? Then can you pinpoint what is causing this phenomenon?”

”No, Xiao Hua cannot find anything no matter how much she tries. Maybe one requires a special technique or treasure to find the treasure.” Xiao Hua said.

”Hmmm? Special technique…?” Yuan raised his eyebrows as though he'd realized something.

'What if it's a treasure that can only be seen with the Dragon's Gaze? After all, the Founder also knew of this technique…' Yuan thought to himself.

With that in mind, Yuan activated the Dragon's Gaze and proceeded to look around. However, he found nothing out of the ordinary.

'Nothing? Maybe it's in a different area since this place seems very big.'

Thus, Yuan proceeded to walk around the Dragon's Peak as though he was taking a stroll while his eyes glowed gold and emitted an ancient aura.

”Nothing here…”

”Nothing out of the ordinary here either…”

Yuan spent the next two hours walking around the peak, but alas, he couldn't find the treasure.
