Chapter 197 The Mystery of the Disappearance of the People in the Lingtian Mystic Realm (1)
With Feng Xian’s help, Li Yu and Ji Qinglan finally opened the Sword Sect’s treasury.
The array formation securing the treasure vault was incredibly complicated. Several different array formations were interconnected, and any problem with one of them would lead to failure.
According to Feng Xian, the person who set up these array formations back then was definitely a genius second to none in array formations.
In order not to damage the treasures in the treasure vault, Feng Xian took meticulous care in the process of cracking them. It took him three days to solve all the array formations.
Finally, they successfully opened the treasure vault door.
The items in the treasure vault were worthy of their efforts.
All the cornerstones of the Sword Sect and their prized treasures were inside. It took Li Yu and the others a long time to collect and move them out.
A small mountain of treasure piled up on the Misty Immortal Island.
Li Yu was in a good mood as he looked at the mountain of wealth before him. Although the treasures he had obtained from the Demon God Palace were even more valuable than those of the Sword Sect.
However, the wealth of the Sword Sect was more effective in the overall development of the sect.
“Actually, I’ve been thinking about a question for the past few days. Was it really only the invasion of the Devil Immortals that reduced the Ancient Immortal Domain to a wasteland back then?” Feng Xian suddenly asked thoughtfully.
His words caused Ji Qinglan to ponder. He had been thinking about what had happened in the Immortal Domain back then.
“Back then, it was believed that our Immortal Domain was ravaged by the invasion of the Devil Immortals. Countless died in the war between the two sides. The world collapsed, making the Immortal Domain no longer suitable for living and reduced to a wasteland.
“However, why didn’t anyone take anything with them when they left? It’s the same for the Sword Sect and our Ancient Divine Azure Dragon Kingdom.
“It felt as if everyone had instantly evaporated. Understandably, your Sword Sect’s treasure vault could not be opened because of the death of the sect master.
“So why are many of the treasures in our Ancient Divine Azure Dragon Kingdom’s palace still untouched. They were not protected by any array formations.
“This makes me wonder what happened that made them leave without taking anything with them! Or perhaps something happened that made those from the Ancient Lingtian Immortal Domain disappear instantly!”
Feng Xian’s opinion resonated with Ji Qinglan. He nodded in agreement. “I’ve been thinking the same over the past few days. Other than this treasure vault, the things in our Sword Sect’s library and Pill Pavilion are actually intact. What you mentioned really makes me feel that people from our Immortal Domain suddenly vanished back then!”
“Wait, before the two of you entered here, have you heard that if you can’t exit the Lingtian Mystic Realm before it closes, you will never be able to leave again? I’ve heard of people not departing in time. When the mystic realm opens, those people always disappear from here.”
“What would happen hereafter once the mystic realm closed? Where did those people that stayed go? It had always been a mystery.
“In this mystic realm, only those who had been sealed, such as the Sword Devil, or those hidden in isolated independent spaces like the Misty Immortal Island, could survive. While there were no traces of anyone else.
“Perhaps some died because of the devil invasion, but most seem to vanish because of something else!”
Feng Xian’s comments seemed to shroud the already bizarre and mysterious Lingtian Mystic Realm in another layer of mystery.
Li Yu’s curiosity was piqued. He suddenly remembered the twin artifact spirits in the Dao Seeking Tower.
Thus, he brought out the Dao Seeking Tower and walked in to ask for details of the Ancient Immortal Domain. Indeed, just as Feng Xian had guessed, the people of the Immortal Domain seemed to have suddenly evaporated.
As for how they disappeared, the artifact spirit did not know either.
“I have a way to find the answer!” Li Yu suddenly smiled.
“What is it?” Ji Qinglan and Feng Xian looked at Li Yu with anticipation.
“We’ll stay here after the mystic realm closes too! We’ll see what happens!”
“That’s a good idea! It’s just a little dangerous!” Feng Xian nodded.
“You took it seriously?” Li Yu grinned. “I was just joking. Why would I stay here for decades? Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. We’ll probably find out sooner or later.”
“Oh yes, Qinglan, how’s Elder Niels fusion with that body?” Li Yu changed the topic.
The soulless body they had obtained in the Pan Emperor’s Immortal Abode was given to Elder Nie for fusion.
“Elder Nie is still in seclusion, but I believe there shouldn’t be any problems!” Ji Qinglan responded.
“Alright, gather everyone. We are preparing to set off!” Li Yu ordered.
His junior brothers’ cultivation levels had already improved enough. The weakest was at the Soul Formation Intermediate Stage, and they could protect themselves in this mystic realm.
Therefore, Li Yu decided to let them go out to train and experience life.
Soon, Tang Chi, Ye Qiu, Gu Yuqi, and the others arrived. Li Yu brought everyone and left the Misty Immortal Island and the Sword Sect.
They continued to explore this Ancient Immortal Domain.
“Eldest Senior Brother, if we encounter any more danger this time, let us handle it. You may rest!” Gu Yuqi looked smug.
Now that he had stepped into the Immortal Spirit Realm and fused with the Paragon Bone, his Ancient God Body had awakened further, allowing his strength to improve. His confidence had also soared. He was eager to experience a satisfying battle.
“Yeah, it’s our turn to help our Eldest Senior Brother now!” Ye Qiu, Tang Chi, and the rest also looked confident.
They were like young men who had just grown some armpit hair and could not wait to prove themselves to the adults.
