Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 779: Chapter 591 Dangerous Treasure Land_2

That time.

There was another person traveling with the two of them.

This person’s cultivation level was similar to True Monarch White Crane, both at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

The three of them discovered this treasure site together, and each had their gains around the periphery of the site.

However, when they encountered danger within the treasure site, that Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn’t even send out a cry for help.

A Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, without any chance to react, vanished right before their eyes in the blink of an eye.

This scene immediately frightened both White Crane and Flying Crane, who were scavenging for treasures on the outskirts of the site, causing them to retreat.

Later, after some time spent psychologically preparing themselves,

Flying Crane Master called another highly-skilled friend, and the three ventured into the treasure site again.

That time.

At the outset of their entry, all three unleashed their strongest defenses,

to prevent being instantly slain by the dangers within the site.

And then…

As the three took steps forward, beginning to explore the treasure site,

the friend called by Flying Crane Master once again met with death.

That time.

Both Flying Crane Master and True Monarch White Crane saw clearly what happened.

The friend whom Flying Crane Master had called, overly confident in his defenses, walked ahead of the other two.

Although they chose to split up to avoid stepping into danger together, they moved forward separately, advancing slowly.

But this person’s movement speed far exceeded that of Flying Crane and White Crane.

And precisely for this reason, as he crossed a certain boundary,

his figure, which was striding forward, was suddenly covered with lacerations in an instant.

It was only a blink of an eye.

Numerous fine cuts had appeared on this person’s body.

And as he continued to walk forward, seemingly oblivious,

the fine cuts on his body quickly grew larger.

It was as though countless sharp knives were scrapping across every corner of his body ruthlessly.

As the fine lacerations on his body rapidly expanded,

by the time White Crane and Flying Crane cried out in alarm,

his figure had also already disappeared from their sight.

Only a storage bag, Artifacts, spirit amulets, and the like, were left on the spot.

With a light breeze blowing by, the previous Foundation Establishment Master vanished in the blink of an eye, as though he had never been there.

This scene terrified both White Crane and Flying Crane, fearing that they would share the same fate.

At the same time, they also saw, at a nearly parallel position to them, the storage bag and the Artifacts, spirit amulets and the like left behind by their former friend.

However.

Having already mentally prepared themselves,

they were startled for just a moment before quickly casting aside the terror in their hearts to carefully investigate the treasure site.

After some research,

White Crane and Flying Crane soon realized the uniqueness of this treasure site.

If one only moved around the outer area, there were essentially no dangers.

The two had their spirit beasts walk around the perimeter continuously but never encountered any signs of danger.

But once they approached the depths of the treasure site, and came within a certain range,

events like those described above would occur.

The body of a cultivator would be covered with wounds in an instant.

Subsequently, they would disappear silently on the spot,

as if they had never existed.

It was as if a light breeze had blown and scattered the person entirely.

If it wasn’t for the fact that this effect didn’t seem to apply to the storage bags, Artifacts and spirit amulets that entered this region,

the two might have thought that the person had entered some Array Skills, and they were being kept out, hence witnessing such a scene.

However, after collecting their two friends’ possessions, they promptly dismissed that thought.

Storage bags, Artifacts, spirit amulets, and the like were all in hand.

How could their owner possibly have entered into some Array Skills?

It was clear that they had already entered a certain range within the treasure site, and thus upon being caressed by the breeze, their entire beings turned to dust.

According to the observations and subsequent experiments conducted by the two of them,

once a cultivator or a demonic beast stepped into this area, they would become covered in wounds in the blink of an eye, and in the next moment, their flesh and blood would cease to exist, an utterly horrific sight.

Moreover, when the cultivators suffered grievous injuries, they seemed unable to detect these wounds on their bodies.

Of course, it was possible that they could feel them, but perhaps by the time they noticed, it was already too late.

However, if that were truly the case, it would be even more terrifying.

Being Foundation Establishment True Persons, yet in the span of a breath, they would meet with death, not even leaving behind a skeleton.

Such a terrifying scene was indeed no wonder that both Master White Crane and Flying Crane Master had been frightened away initially.

Besides this,

they had also attempted to attack the barrier.

However, no matter the type of attack, upon entering the barrier, it would continue on its original trajectory without any loss of strength.

No matter how they launched their attacks, it was as if striking the air, leaving no impact on the barrier whatsoever.

Furthermore, it seemed as though the barrier did not exist at all.

If it was not for the two dolefully aware that this place had already claimed the lives of two Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, they would have hardly imagined that such a “man-eating” barrier existed here.

And as the two of them uncovered the rules within this treasure site, and gathered all the treasures on the periphery,

they understood that if they could not overcome this barrier that inflicted dense and tiny wounds on the bodies of Foundation Establishment True Persons, and would subsequently strip their flesh and blood, they would be unable to venture deeper into the treasure site and claim the inner treasures.

Consequently, their thoughts naturally began to change.

The two had come here

twice already.

And all the treasures on the periphery had been taken by them.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Yet, even so, Master White Crane and Flying Crane Master, both Foundation Establishment True Persons, had only seen the outermost periphery of this treasure site.

As for other things, including the other dangers and treasures within the treasure site, they had not managed to lay eyes on them at all.

And it was precisely because their companions had died here,

and the friends they called upon later also perished in the same place,

that Master White Crane and Flying Crane Master turned their attention elsewhere.

A treasure site.

A treasure site fraught with danger.

A site that could lead to the instant death of two Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, without even a cry for help being heard.

A site where the periphery had been stripped of treasures, and its crisis conditions, as well as the activation method, had been discerned by the two.

If used to lay a trap,

wouldn’t it be foolproof?

After all,

Master White Crane and Flying Crane Master had realized that as long as they kept away from the interior of the treasure site, nothing would happen.

It was only when entering a certain range of the treasure site that this situation would be triggered.

A gentle breeze passes, and a Foundation Establishment cultivator dies in an instant.

Therefore,

the two merely needed to lure others here, remember the spot where the phenomenon was triggered, and while moving forward with these cultivators, slightly lag behind.

They could then silently let those cultivators die within this treasure site.

And,

in doing so, perhaps they could even weaken the barrier within the treasure site.

They could not weaken the barrier with their own attacks,

thus, they had to turn to other methods to lessen the barrier’s strength.

After all, in the Cultivation World, everything operates on spirit Qi.

With continuous consumption, perhaps the barrier within the treasure site would not last very long.

If someday the barrier suddenly broke,

wouldn’t they be able to seize all the treasures inside at once?

And it was precisely for this reason that Master White Crane had roamed across various lands to hunt demonic beasts and instantly capture some of the larger ones to bring here.

On one hand, it made his identity more credible, showing himself to be but an ordinary cultivator making a living by hunting demonic beasts.

On the other hand, he was able to capture larger demonic beasts without arousing suspicion.

After all, to the outside world, his identity was that of an ordinary cultivator who made his living by hunting demonic beasts.
