162 The Square (2/2)
Furthermore, his traces were mysterious and he was likely to be immoral.
If he wanted to forcefully take it, he could not know what would happen to him.
”Splash!”
In the fog, a splash appeared on the surface of the lake. Fang Yuan's silhouette appeared, and with one leap, he arrived at the shore of the island.
He circulated his elemental energy as the water on him started to evaporate.
In the smoke, his clothes began to dry up, as he started to feel comfortable.
Fang Yuan opened the pot cover and drank a mouthful of spiritual wine.
”Whoosh!”
A fiery stream of wine entered through his throat and swirled in his stomach. All his acupoints were relaxed and the pleasure could not be described with words.
”There is more that the wine can do!”
There was no need for any explanation. Its concentration was more than 10 times the normal water.
It only took a mouth for Fang Yuan to enter a trance. As his elemental force shook, he was awoken.
”Good wine, this is good stuff!”
As he praised the wine, he looked at the island.
The island was not a big one, but it was filled with greenery. He could feel a lot of energy signatures from the vegetation, which meant that there were not normal plants.
If not for the lack of spiritual energy, Fang Yuan would have guessed that this was another piece of spiritual land.
”The treasure map and the spiritual king fish's memories all point to this place!”
Fang Yuan sighed and walked into the dense vegetation with no regrets.
”Ssss!”
The forest was creepy as there were weird noises coming from everywhere.
Fang Yuan walked through the forest and suddenly, he saw a large green snake coiled up on the ground. It was breathing in the fog, as though it had the wisdom of a human!
”Get lost!”
This snake was comparable to a [Martial Artist (12th Gate)], but Fang Yuan squinted his eyes and exerted his energy from his body.
”Sssss!”
The green snake wanted to retaliate and adopted a defensive stance. However, as it detected a large amount of energy from its adversary, it retreated, turned around and fled, as though if it was one step slower it would have been killed by the force behind it.
”Mmm, you're quite smart!”
Fang Yuan did not hide anymore, as his energy level shot up!
Why was his cultivation level so high now?
He was not just a martial artist in the Elemental Gathering Realm, but a dream master as well!
By adding up both of these, it was not as simple as adding their cultivations.
In a moment, a fearsome energy field spread across the entire island. As the large spiritual beasts detected the energy spreading throughout the entire island, they could only scramble and look for a hiding spot.
Those weaker ones could only kneel down and surrender to the strong energy.
”Haha... I am the master!”
As he laughed, he trotted through the island.
With his threat, the other beasts would not there to do anything to him.
”This island...”
After close observation, Fang Yuan had a shocking discovery. ”I'm afraid that someone had already done something to separate this place from the real world. Only during the Drunken Moon Festival would this place appear and be accessible. On other days, even if the whole world was searched thoroughly, this place could never be found!”
As he thought about it, the mysterious dream master became increasingly scary.
Fang Yuan bit his lips and arrived in the middle of the island.
There were obvious signs of human interference here.The mountainous ridges suddenly disappeared, as though someone had chopped it off.
On top of where the original mountain ridges should have been, there was a gigantic square laid out in white jade. It had an unimaginable width and there were many carved statues around. Every stroke of the statue was unbelievably real.
Among all these carvings were people, birds, and animals. Their eyeballs were made out of black precious gems, which made them look extremely real, as though they could come alive the next moment.
”Mmm?”
Arriving here, Fang Yuan felt that something in his robes felt extremely hot.
As he took it out, he realised that it was the treasure map of the Five Ghosts Sect!
As this point in time, the treasure map was smoking, and the red marking became a brilliant red with a mild glow.
”No risks, no rewards. Furthermore, it is just a piece of inheritance... Since he had already made up his mind to pass it to the future generations, he must have hoped that someone would inherit it, and therefore it should not be too dangerous!”
Fang Yuan calmed himself down and followed the instructions on the treasure map as he arrived in the middle of the square.
There were 49 statues carved in white jade, and on every one of them, there was some sort of energy holding them down. It was mysterious and seemed like a certain formation.
Fang Yuan based on the instructions on the treasure map, triggered the mechanism and went to the middle of the square.
”If there is a real treasure, it would be here!”
He opened up his treasure map and stared at the shining marks on it, speechless.
”Wuwu!”
Outside, the many statue carvings started to make a synchronised noise.
The treasure map in his hands burnt up, in what seemed to be a response to the noise.
Suddenly, a glow appeared in the middle of the square, straight into Fang Yuan's forehead.
He froze at his spot as his eyes were filled with colours, as he entered a weird dream.
