Chapter 792: Chapter 792: Hall of Immortal Treasures

“Indeed, it’s a Primeval Stone damaged in the great battle.” Qi Daolin’s gaze fixed on the scene before him, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

The Immortal Mine was vast, with a large piece of Primeval Stone on the road, fallen from the cave wall, its fractured end crisscrossed with many cracks.

This led to wild conjectures. What kind of massive collision had occurred in ancient times? Even treasures forged from Primeval Stones had shattered. It felt almost surreal.

The Primal Chaos True Immortal, coexisting with the world, eternal and uncorroding, yet even this top-grade Immortal Material had still broken apart, which, while inducing endless thoughts, also sent shivers down one’s spine.

“Collect it. Although it’s cracked, bringing it outside still makes it a sacred treasure material. Even a small piece mixed in when forging secret treasures can greatly enhance their quality,” Qi Daolin said.

Such a big piece, over nine feet long–if taken out for auction, it would surely drop jaws all over the ground.

Since ancient times, only a few Primeval Stones have been found!

Of course, it would be impossible to forge it into treasures now, as the internal cracks were denser than spider webs. It had suffered the impact and collision of the most formidable Dao and was seriously damaged.

Shi Hao unceremoniously collected it into his Heaven and Earth Pouch.

“This is not good, the resistance is getting stronger.” Qi Daolin frowned.

As they progressed, various axe marks, sword grooves on the stone walls of the Immortal Mine emitted more and more profound principles of the Dao, forming a tremendous pressure that made the space blur.

Shi Hao inwardly sighed. What level of forbidden powerhouse had left these behind in this frightening place? Merely the ordinary creation of caves was this bizarre.

Suddenly, some ancient etchings appeared on the cave walls, mysterious and emitting mists, depicting ancient ancestors and various exotic creatures never seen before.

“This is bad, the principles of the Dao contained in these patterns are even more abundant.”

Qi Daolin slowed his pace, his face became serious, sweat began to bead on his forehead, and his pupils gleamed with intensity. He was operating the Eight-Nine Heavens Technique and resisting with all his strength.

“Shh!”

In one etching, an ancestor held a sword that suddenly emitted Sword Qi, slashing out.

The sword light pierced through the void like a rainbow!

Shi Hao was dumbstruck. This is too… bizarre!

It was unimaginable how powerful the people of that era must have been; even the carved patterns were so terrifying, making Qi Daolin dodge instead of confronting them directly.

“Fortunately, it was only an ancestor wielding a sword!” Qi Daolin wiped his sweat.

Shi Hao was speechless. If there was a True Immortal depicted, wielding a Magic Sword, could it possibly strike out Immortal Light? It wasn’t impossible, considering the profound truths within the patterns.

Soon, Qi Daolin’s complexion turned unsightly because the sword in that diagram was broken, and the stone carving had long been damaged.

“This… It’s simply a Battle Immortal’s atlas. If one could cultivate here, understand all the axe marks, sword intents, and various ancient creature patterns thoroughly, it would be beneficial for a lifetime,” Shi Hao murmured.

“Even in the Ancient Immortal Era, this place must have been extraordinary,” Qi Daolin nodded seriously.

Even he didn’t want to leave anymore, itching to sit down and meditate, closing himself off to comprehend the genuine diagrams casually etched by the ancients, and to fathom the supreme truths within.

“What a pity, time is short. According to the bone fragment I obtained, opportunities are fleeting, and we can’t stay here long. It depends on fate. When we leave, if we could take the entire cave dwelling with us, that would be defiant of the heavens,” Qi Daolin said.

Finally, Qi Daolin, withstanding immense pressure, led Shi Hao to the depths of the Immortal Mine. To be more precise, it was a massive ancient hall, shrouded in a mist of Immortal Qi.

This place was too mysterious, enshrouded in a pale mist that swirled around as if one had entered the dwelling of an Immortal Human. Breathing here was exceptionally relieving, making the body glow with a light rain, as if one was about to transform and ascend to immortality.

“Extraordinary Sacred Ancient Land, truly unimaginable!” Even the Daolord’s eyes widened in appreciation of this sight.

The hall was quiet and vast beyond measure, and through the mist, one could see what seemed like numerous Divine Seats enshrined in the front, radiating mysterious power.

The walls were also exceptional, carved with a myriad of patterns, ranging from flowers, birds, fish, insects, to ancient sacrificial rites, forebears, the sun and moon, various creatures, Immortal Materials, and so on.

This place was unique; all pressure had vanished, absorbed by the patterns on the walls.

“We are temporarily safe now,” Qi Daolin said.

“Daolord, you should hurry and look for the treasure materials you want. I’ll sit and meditate here for a while to see if I can gain some enlightenment,” Shi Hao proposed.

“Alright, but be careful and don’t stray too far from me,” Qi Daolin responded.

Shi Hao immediately sat down to meditate. The patterns on the stone walls were numerous, each one containing a faint aura of the road, which made his spirit shake as he scanned them, seemingly about to plunge into one great world after another.

Soon, when Shi Hao was unaware, Qi Daolin gasped in surprise, turning back to look at him with a look of astonishment.

Behind Shi Hao’s head, a ring of light appeared and then condensed, serene and splendid like a mirror, setting him off as if he were an Ancient Monk or a deity in practice.

The Divine Disc’s illumination behind his head was swirling, reflecting sets and sets of patterns–sword marks, axe inscriptions, forebears, the sun and moon, various creatures–as if imitating all ancient diagrams.

“This kid, he has such an ability?” Qi Daolin called out in amazement, shocked because he sensed that the patterns projected by the Divine Disc were identical to those on the stone wall, containing many profound truths of the road.

“What are you talking about, Daolord?” Shi Hao asked in confusion, looking up at him.

As he spoke, the reflective character light behind his head, similar to a mirror, disappeared without his notice.

Qi Daolord was amazed, and then said, “It’s nothing. Continue your meditation, don’t mind me. Don’t get distracted, just penetrate the meaning as you did just now.”

However, not long after, as Shi Hao pondered and strove for enlightenment, the character light disc reappeared behind his head, like a precious mirror, showing various ancient diagrams from the cave, reflecting those profound ways.

Qi Daolin’s pupils constricted as he stared at the mirroring Divine Disc, as if realizing something, but he didn’t speak.

Quickly, he turned and moved forward, fearing there wasn’t enough time and that action must be taken swiftly, racing towards those enshrined Divine Seats up ahead.

Before long, Shi Hao had reviewed all kinds of ancient diagrams, and the mysterious light mirror that inexplicably appeared behind his head was like a reflection of all heavens, displaying all the patterns.

After a period of comprehension, he realized that the way of this place was too profound, and it was impossible to grasp anything in a short time, so he walked forward to see what Qi Daolin had found.

Yet, the light mirror behind his head did not withdraw but continued reflecting.

Daolord Qi stood at the front, very surprised, scrutinizing each of the enshrined items one by one.

“This is…” Shi Hao was also shocked.

They weren’t Divine Seats that were enshrined in the hall; instead, it was an assortment of Immortal Materials flowing with a hazy radiance and submerged in mist–a breathtaking sight!

“No wonder it’s called an Immortal Mine; it’s truly like this!” exclaimed the Daolord.

This row of items, each one could shake the past and present; merely taking out one of them could make the Sect Hierarchs of the higher realms envious, leading them to skirmish, fight, and shed blood over it.

“Sky Patching Stone, World Stone, Primeval Stone…” A casual glance could reveal four or five kinds of precious materials only recorded in the bone texts and hard to find in reality.

Shi Hao was also shocked; all were uncut gems of treasures, each of them priceless!

Qi Daolin was excited, his sleeve swept out to collect them all, but the light shattered like bubbles disappearing, leaving nothing behind, utterly empty.

“What, an illusion, they’ve been taken away already!” His forehead’s veins throbbed with frustration, such a pity.

Clearly, even in the Ancient Immortal Era, this place was a Sacred Entity’s hall, offering all kinds of Supreme Immortal Materials.

“This way!” Shi Hao pointed, there were more materials on another side, equally envy-provoking.

“Void Gold, Five Elements Gold, Immortal Gold…” Qi Daolin’s eyes burned with flames, his emotions surged uncontrollably.

His sleeve swept out again, but just like before, it was as if bubbles burst, everything disappeared, and reappeared once his palm was withdrawn.

“Damn it!” Qi Daolin growled lowly.

Even Shi Hao felt immense regret; to enter a mountain of treasures yet unable to claim them, nothing could be worse, both master and disciple felt as if they were scratching their hearts out.

“True Dragon’s Horn, Phoenix Beak…”

The master and disciple duo were nearly driven mad, the treasure materials they saw were unimaginable, all things that would only appear in legends. Regrettably, Qi Daolin’s attempts to seize them failed every time.

“Don’t tell me this place is empty, if so, I must tear it down!” Qi Daolin declared fiercely as he moved forward, fixating his gaze on the highest, most central point where the most rare and valuable items should be enshrined.

Waving away the white mist, there were no illusory shadows there, different from the other areas.

“There’s a stone.” Shi Hao was elated.

Qi Daolin showing movement as well, something actually remained at the highest point, obtainable? He swiftly flicked his sleeve, scooping it up.

Quickly, however, his expression turned gloomy. Though the object was in his hand, upon closer analysis, he was certain it was not a treasure, just a palm-sized black stone material.

“This is a stone skin, there was once a precious material wrapped in black stone, enshrined at the center, but… it’s gone!”

Qi Daolin was furious, he let out a long sigh to the heavens. The item enshrined at the highest point was never seen, just leaving behind a piece of stone skin, which was regrettable.

“It must have been used by the people from the Ancient Immortal Era; this place is clearly a Sacred Treasure Hall.” Shi Hao said.

Qi Daolin acted swiftly, shaking those shadows repeatedly until, with a loud bang, three or four kinds of treasure materials responded, emitting the rumbling sounds of the road.

However, each Divine Material was sealed. Even after vast ages passed, that power dried up, seals cracked, they still proved hard to budge, which was stupefying.

“Ahhh…”

Suddenly, a mysterious cry transmitted, chilling to the soul, and a great threat approached, awakening from one side of the ancient hall.

“Open for me!” Qi Daolin shouted, executing the Eight-Nine Heavens Technique, and spitting out a mouthful of blood, igniting it into light to strengthen his Supreme Law, concentrating all his peak combat power on attacking the seal on one treasure material.

“Boom!”

He reached out to grab something, then with Shi Hao, they dashed out of the hall at high speed without looking back.

“Rumble…”

The roaring sounds were incessant, terrifyingly shrill.

With a whoosh, the master and disciple pair narrowly escaped from the Immortal Mine; the ancient cave spewed forth auspicious vapors, emitting Immortal Light, incomparably sacred.

When they turned back, they saw the mountain containing the Immortal Mine begin to sink, soon to be swallowed by the earth. Moreover, at the entrance of the cave, a humanoid creature emerged, flickering with seven-colored light, staring at them.

“A piece of Seven-Colored Immortal Gold!” Qi Daolin exclaimed in surprise, filled with regret. He should not have fled; what he thought was a monster turned out to be an uncarved gem of treasure.

“Daolord, no regrets now. That Immortal Gold has become sentient, look at it in human form, shaped like a woman.”

“So what if it’s in a human form?” Qi Daolin said angrily, for when compared with what he held in his hand, the brilliance gap was too vast.

Shi Hao was silent; he felt that the piece of Immortal Gold must be extremely extraordinary, and Qi Daolin might not be able to deal with it, but for some reason, it did not leave the ancient cave.

Clearly, trying to take the mountain and Immortal Mine with them was now impossible.

Just as recorded in the bone texts, opportunities come and go in the blink of an eye. The mountain wreathed in chaotic mist sank into the ground and disappeared from sight.

It could move, and it would be thousands of years before it might reappear.

“Daolord, what did you get?” Shi Hao looked at what was in his hands.

Qi Daolin frowned; he did not recognize the material, dull and lackluster, something that if thrown into a pile of dirt, probably nobody would notice.

However, his disappointment was brief, as he soon revealed surprise. No matter how much force was applied, the material couldn’t be damaged in the least.

“Immortal Material!” he boldly concluded.

This material, seeming neither like gold nor stone, was indestructibly immortal. It was as large as a person’s head, and enough to craft secret treasures.

“Daolord, your gains this time are massive!” Shi Hao envied. The Immortal Mine had existed since ancient times, and countless people had sought to enter and obtain treasures, but all had failed.

Qi Daolin’s success was due to guarding for thousands of years, seizing a fleeting opportunity, and thus successfully obtaining treasure material.

Even so, if word got out, it would cause a sensation in the higher realms; Immortal Material, coveted by various great schools–how many pieces could there be since ancient times?!

“Kid, your gains won’t be less than mine.” Qi Daolin revealed an unusual expression, glancing at him and speaking.

“What have I gained?” Shi Hao murmured.

“Don’t be anxious, perhaps it’ll become apparent soon. Also, let me remind you, if you encounter places with mysteries of the great road, be sure to pause and ponder, even if you don’t understand at first, spend time to research,” warned Qi Daolin.

It was finally time to part ways. Shi Hao seemed to remember something and said, “Daolord, the Supreme Hall might have been brought up from the Lower Realm on the back of a giant black turtle.”

“Hmm, I know. A Silver Phoenix was the first to sight it, and as a result, it was chased down by disciples of the Immortal Hall and several old servants,” Qi Daolin nodded.

Shi Hao was startled, but then relieved. News like this would already be known to some of the Primordials. After joining the hunt for the silver-haired woman that day, how could Qi Daolin be unaware? He was surely more concerned than anyone.

“I will definitely see our legacy reborn!” Qi Daolin’s whole body glowed, his gaze firm and intensely passionate, before tearing open the void and departing!

Afterwards, Shi Hao too set out on his journey, leaving the regions of Fire Province and Celestial Immortal State, beginning his long travels. (To be continued.
