The two opened the curtain and entered the house, eting Jin Ming Zhenren and his wife coming towards them.
Jin Ming Zhenren’s old face showed bitterness as he said, "I didn’t expect the Black Armored Divine Army to arrive early, now we can’t leave even if we want to."
Beside him, Ming Cai Zhenren said, "Don’t be disheartened, if the one who has co is truly the Formless Celestial Venerable from the Ancient Race, this might be our opportunity. Besides..."
She lowered her voice, "If there really is a treasure, who doesn’t give three parts and keep two, give half and swallow half? Isn’t that right, Friend Xiao Jiu?"
An Li thought for a mont and said, "Friend Ming Cai, I feel the waters here are very deep, if there’s a chance to escape, we should take it. No treasure or opportunity is more important than life."
Ming Cai Zhenren smiled and whispered, "Hasn’t Friend Xiao Jiu just co out to gain experience? How can one enter a mountain of treasures and return empty-handed? What if there’s a chance?"
Jin Ming Zhenren nodded in agreent then said, "Let’s go, let’s dig the tomb!"
The four walked out of the house.
The Profound Qi emitted by the Profound Crystal Snake Corpse refreshed all the cultivators.
The four each took out digging tools, found a piece of empty land, and began to dig.
...
The rumbling sound of digging was deafening.
The hills surrounding Ziwu Village had been largely pushed away.
Song Yan and An Li worked laboriously with their backs to the sky and faces to the earth, busy for half the day, when Ming Cai Zhenren unexpectedly took out a lon shrouded in cold mist.
The four cut it open and each took two slices, munching on the flesh of the lon.
The lon was sweet and juicy, lting the mont it touched their mouths.
Wiping their sweat, the four chatted among themselves, feeling quite as if they were farrs taking a short break during the busy season in the fields.
Jin Ming Zhenren laughed and said it reminded him of the ti before he practiced cultivation, when he was barefoot, helping his mother plant seedlings in the water fields, where from ti to ti loaches and small insects moved around, creating a soundscape that he quite missed.
Song Yan said that his family slaughtered pigs when he was young, and during the farming busy season, he often watched from the at shop as farrs ca and went on the distant unknown road, though he never walked the fields himself. Now, it’s like a wish has been fulfilled.
An Li, under Song Yan’s encouraging look, tried to construct a mory to fit into the current atmosphere.
Ming Cai Zhenren jokingly hit her partner, saying: "Loaches, insects, water snakes are all fine, but if we encounter sothing here, it might be demon beasts."
The four of them laughed heartily, managing to find humor in their hardship.
Then, under the scolding of the overseer of the Black Armored Divine Army, the four continued their work.
In such an efficient digging environnt, about a day and a night later, a soft glow suddenly rose several dozen miles north of Ziwu Village, illuminating the surroundings, appearing particularly dazzling in the night.
Song Yan stopped his actions, looking into the distance, but his Divine Sense had already been sent out.
Because of Changwang’s Evil Treasure, his Divine Sense was incredibly powerful, allowing him to probe others without being detected...
Sitting cross-legged and resting with his eyes closed, the Divine Tiger King suddenly moved swiftly to the source of the soft glow, raising a hand to grab a small, luminous pearl-like bead into his hand.
’This is...’
He stared for a long ti, his pupils suddenly shrinking, followed by his heart pounding.
As a regional hegemon, very little could move him anymore.
This ti, he had co to curry favor with the Formless Celestial Venerable. After all, to him, it didn’t matter what treasures might be here... treasures are just those, the best Evil Treasure is within the Soul Threshold. However good things outside are, what could they be?
But this ti, the Divine Tiger King had to admit he was wrong, absurdly wrong.
Just a slight probe of this bead had made him aware of its effect: enhancing comprehension!!
Not just one- or two-fold enhancent, but a several dozen-fold enhancent!
Just by gripping it and slightly absorbing its light, he vaguely felt so of his magic bottlenecks were loosening slightly, with subtle inspiration beginning to erge.
’How could such a treasure exist in this world?’
The Divine Tiger King showed a greedy expression, quickly stowing away the treasure pearl, then said: "Good job, such a treasure will earn you 100 Contribution Points!" Afterward, he went to Dian Kang to exchange for treasures, cultivation techniques, and Profound Crystals, all available!"
Then, he returned to his original spot, took out the pearl again, and fondly caressed it.
The overseer of the Black Armored Divine Army shouted loudly: "Why aren’t you continuing to dig? The more you dig, the more rewards you’ll get!"
The Divine Tiger King took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with indecision.
But soon, he shook his head.
Though this pearl was precious, his loyalty to the Formless Celestial Venerable was unwavering and well-known, having grown up in the Earth Realm of the Formless Ancient Race, naturally holding steadfast loyalty to the true ’Sovereign’ of this land.
Before long, another soft glow appeared in the distance.
The Divine Tiger King hurried over, only to find, surprisingly, two pearls!!
Feeling his mouth dry and throat parched, he grasped the pearls in his hand and feigned calmness, continuing to urge the loose cultivators to dig.
When he sat back down, his eyes already glowed with a strange light, internally thinking: ’What’s the use of loyalty?! Can it feed ? These three pearls enhancing comprehension might actually, truly aid my cultivation! Do I really have to hand them over to the Formless Ancient Race?’
Just as the Divine Tiger King was wavering, an eerie voice suddenly exploded in his ear.
"The Formless Ancient Race doesn’t even have enough for themselves, why would they give any to you?"
"Who?!"
The Divine Tiger King was almost bristling, suddenly turning his head to find a mysterious figure in a black robe had sohow appeared at his side.
The black-robed figure appeared as a ghost, rging heavily into the night so that even close up, his shape was hard to discern, while a pair of eyes, like jewels embedded in the darkness, radiated a sharp light, quietly staring at him.
