394 I Really Hate Digging a Hole yet Not Filling I (1/2)

After coming out of the immortal dream land, Wang Lu suddenly felt particularly tired, like when he was drilled in training by his Master all night long in Non-Phase Peak in the past one year.

After two consecutive chains of immortal dream lands, Wang Lu really needed a period of rest. In addition to psychological exhaustion, he has also burned some of his innate vitality to power his Non-Phase Sword to contend against Yunkongjun, which was an amazing feat in itself. Thus, he needed a long time to recuperate… However, properly going to sleep or perhaps using the high price meditation spot for cultivators to restore magical power in Plentiful City were too inefficient. Let alone, he still needed to confirm some things as quickly as possible, which he did not want to delay even for a moment.

Therefore, he directly went to the sub-branch of Great Arrangement Travel in Plentiful City. Using his privilege as one of the Plentiful City Management Committee Members, he opened a low cost transmission array in this organization that specialized in logistic towards Grand Cloud Mountain.

This long distance transmission array was not so easy for cultivators. The distance itself was not the problem. The problem was that, for such a large continent like Nine Regions, its topography sometimes change, so two transmission spots would often have peculiar circumstances, which made it difficult to have a stable spell to ensure the safety in long-distance transmission. Great Arrangement Travel has been delving deeper in this field of endeavor and had run the longest. This made them nearly monopolize the logistic business in Nine Regions.

After passing through the transmission array to Grand Cloud Mountain, Wang Lu immediately looked for that lake.

When he arrived at the spot where he left just a moment ago, Wang Lu immediately looked for his once-buried treasure.

In the immortal dream land, he buried the artifacts and spirit seeds in a spot concealed by jagged rock where the vegetation was sparse. However, it was also a spot where the strength of the Feng Shui line was relatively weak, which would not attract people to come. Moreover, for the safety's sake, Wang Lu used the assistance of precious talisman to complete a hidden treasure array.

The so called hidden treasure array was a special storage concealed by a spell, which was used by cultivators to protect and conceal the designated treasure. Only by the use of specific password and spell could the concealment be removed. This was usually used by big sects to store their strategic resources. By using the hidden treasure array to conceal his artifacts and spirit seeds, as long as there was no unforeseen circumstances, even if he left it for thousands of years, they wouldn't be found.

As a matter of fact, the immortal cultivation world of Nine Regions was filled with stories where, through luck, some cultivators found hidden treasure arrays in some barren mountains or wild hills left behind by people in the past. There were the strategic resources left by some sects thousands of years ago. However, these resources couldn't be used by their original owner because of accidents that caused the sects to vanish...

By burying the treasures for thousands of years, Wang Lu had actually taken a great risk. After all, the Nine Regions was vast, wondrous things happened one after another incessantly, and in several thousand years, anything could happen. However, this move from Wang Lu was not so much an investment or speculation, but rather a confirmation, a necessary confirmation.

He wanted to know whether the action in the immortal dream land would really affect what happened later. On the first chain in the Peach Garden Village story, the establishment of Yin and Yang School at the last act brought him such a huge shock that it subverted his view on how things should be in this world… Could time travel really exist? This was a miracle that hasn't been clearly recorded in any historical data. It was a concept that only existed in the story. Even the most powerful cultivators could not really control the time. Amongst the immortal method that circulated in Nine Regions, the strongest one could only time travel to the past as much as the time to finish a cup of tea, which was why it was called ”Immortal Tea”. In the legend, when Immortal Qin had a great decisive battle, he used this ”Immortal Tea” to crush six great Supremes and unified the entire Nine Regions for the first time.

Immortal Qin could only time travel to the past up to a tea time, could the group of immortal tombs have millions upon millions of the power Immortal Qin had that they could go back in time for several thousand years? And this was just the outer part of the group of immortal tombs?

It was difficult for Wang Lu to logically accept this reasoning. Therefore, he had to make a confirmation… Of course, if it was purely just to confirm, a small stone marked with special mark would do the trick, but to do it as well as making an investment, a small stone would not just cut it...

Unfortunately, when he went to the location of the hidden treasure array, he somewhat frustratingly discovered that he didn't seem to get the desired result.

It was no longer the image of a stony ground, but rather a huge pit. The lake area had actually expanded by a third. Wang Lu tried to dive to the bottom of the lake but still found nothing.

This made Wang Lu rather depressed. From the traces and evidence on the scene, he deduced that around a hundred years ago, there was an unusually large energy explosion. At least it was a full power strike of Jindan Stage or even Yuanying Stage cultivator, which eliminated a big piece of land near the lakeside, making the lake water pour into the resulting pit, expanding its size.

During that time, Wang Lu's buried objects weren't spared either.

All his investments vanished in a puff of smoke, which was admittedly discouraging. However, for Wang Lu, this actually didn't hurt his bottom line. Although these relics were precious, the majority of them were only useful to ordinary mortals. As for spirit seeds, the true rare one would only mature into spirit plants in thousands of years, and these seeds were many in the possession of his Seventh Uncle.
