658 The Secret of the Ancient Times (2/2)

Qian Yexue was enraged.

But then, she thought that Chen Fan might have done it in front of her on purpose and would ask Xie Yan to give it back after they returned.

”Our Ancestral Master would not ask me to keep such a peerless art even though I'm like a daughter to him. Chen Beixuan must be pretending,” Qian Yexue thought.

Then, Chen Fan and the others searched the entire Sword Palace.

Apparently, the Sky Immortal Li Shang had taken all the treasures in the Sword Palace with them when they left. Only the nine half-completed swords and some Spirit Medicines were left.

”The Sword Palace was a place where Sky Immortals gathered. There should be more treasures,” A'Xiu said.

”The Sword Palace was established thousands of years ago. Some Earth Level Deities must have already entered before. The Starry Sword Array might be able to stop us but not the experienced Earth Level Deities and they should have taken everything they found. The 'Sky Sword Talisman' must be the last protection they couldn't break,” Qian Yexue explained.

The others immediately became gloomy.

The Sword Palace of Mount Shu had less treasures than an Earth Level Deity's palace!

Chen Fan had already walked to the center of the square. There was a Malice Earth Well with endless black flames inside. It was the core of the array which absorbed Malice Earth Qi and lifted the Sword Palace above the clouds, like its engine.

”What is he doing?”

Qian Yexue looked at Chen Fan with shock.

Chen Fan then took out the Chronicle of Mount Shu and touched it gently.

A layer of white aura then enveloped the book, and the four words ”Chronicle of Mount Shu” transformed into a sword, which was like the pivot of the world and was extremely heavy.

”This is…”

Everyone's eyes popped out.

”There's always a hub or core that's used to control the entire array and the Sword Palace is no exception. Why would they keep a simple chronicle in the forbidden area of the sect together with the cultivation art?” Chen Fan said.

Qian Yexue blushed with embarrassment and was speechless. She had wondered why Chen Fan had taken the book.

Chen Fan put his hand on the book and shouted, ”Go!”

A sword then came out from the book and dived into the Malice Earth Well. The well started to boil; the air vibrated and the entire Sword Palace was shaking.

”Senior, will the palace collapse?” someone yelled.

Chen Fan didn't care at all. He kept infusing Dharmic Powers into the book and saw a black fire pillar shoot out from the Malice Earth Well into the air, forming a door-shaped hole.

”If I'm correct, a Golden Core Cultivator has to use either Void Dimension Crystals or other energies to crack space. There isn't any other way to maintain the existence of a space, except using the Malice Earth Qi.”

Chen Fan cracked a smile.

And the others were stunned.

”Master… would this be the treasure vault of the Sword Palace?” A'Xiu said.

Those from Kunlun and the Black Water Sect were thrilled. How many treasures would there be in the treasure vault of an ancient sect? The amount must be earth-shattering! Even if Sky Immortal Li Shang took most of them when they left, those sects in the Realm of Kunxu would still die for the remaining ones.

Even Qian Yexue froze.

Chen Fan expanded the limits of her imagination again and again. She even started to doubt whether the others would laugh at her if she spoke.

”I guess.”

Chen Fan put his hands behind his back and entered the treasure vault.

The space a Golden Core Cultivator created together with external powers was much larger than that in the Blade Strengthening Gourd. It was as large as a basketball court and there were many elixirs, Dharma Artifacts and all sorts of refining materials. Chen Fan even saw piles of Divine Crystals which had apparently been seized from the other sects.

But the most conspicuous was a pile of black stones.

”Spirit Stones and a lot of them! I guess there are dozens of thousands?” Qian Yexue said in shock. Even large sects like the Snow God Palace was unable to collect such an amount of Spirit Stones even after a few thousand years!

”Right, these are the real rewards of the visit!”

Chen Fan cracked a smile. With so many Spirit Stones, it would be a piece of cake for him to enter the Connate level, and he could also start doing what he had been planning.

”Pass on my order. Close the Sword Palace. I need to shut myself in!”

Right before Chen Fan entered the Sword Palace, news about the battle on Qin Chen Mountain had started to spread.

It immediately caused a great furor across the world.
