Chapter 224: Chapter 195: Legacy Treasure Water Droplet
Any such treasure appearing in the world would surely cause an earth-shattering upheaval!
But now, such a wondrous treasure is hidden within the deepest secret chamber of the Azure Blue Mansion.
No one knows that within the Azure Blue Mansion lies such a miraculous Secret Treasure.
Even the original master of this ancient tomb who had obtained the Azure Blue Mansion from the Upper Realm was unaware of the existence of the Ice-Blue Phoenix Feather.
Nobody is more unaware that this treasure, surpassing the Rotating Pill Level, Heavenly Saint Level, and even the Void Sky True God Level, would be related to Jiang Yao.
That it would call out to Jiang Yao!
Undoubtedly, the secrets hidden here are no less significant than the secrets of the treasure emitting the Ice-Blue Divine Light!
The wondrous ice-blue phoenix feather vibrates gently in the secret chamber, but outside and within the Azure Blue Mansion, not the slightest abnormal phenomenon appeared, as if it were just an ordinary day.
At this moment, Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, and other Tomb Explorers who had broken into the Azure Blue Mansion had finally arrived at a grand hall after rushing through the dark and gloomy entrance.
After Ye Chen and Jiang Yao entered the Azure Blue Mansion, another seven or eight people followed suit. Out of fifty people who dared to venture into the Azure Blue Mansion, fifteen perished in the dreadful ancient air currents at the entrance, leaving thirty-five who successfully made their way inside.
Fifty adventurers to the Azure Blue Mansion, and almost half had perished right at the entrance!
This situation caused the thirty-five who had successfully entered to regard their surroundings with extreme solemnity.
The Golden Demon Carp had said that the Azure Blue Mansion was filled with dangers at every turn. The death of those fifteen at the entrance made it abundantly clear to them that the words of the Golden Demon Carp were not meant to intimidate them.
Once inside the Azure Blue Mansion, if they were not careful, many among these thirty-five people might die, and in the end, it might indeed be as the Golden Demon Carp said: less than half may leave alive!
The faces of the thirty-five people, solemn and cautious, surveyed this grand hall they had entered.
"Is this the grand hall inside the Azure Blue Mansion?"
Looking up, the grand hall where they stood was immensely vast. It was brilliantly lit, with its length, width, and height all exceeding a hundred zhang. The walls of the great hall revealed many passageways, the destinations of which were unknown.
Even more intriguing to all were the sights above the grand hall.
At that moment, suspended in the air above the grand hall were droplets of black water, each around three to four meters in size. There were precisely thirty of these black droplets.
Thirty droplets larger than a person floated in mid-air without falling, naturally drawing everyone\'s gaze.
What shocked Ye Chen and others even more was the aura that these droplets emitted; they could feel that hidden within these black droplets were treasures, and not just any treasures, but ones that surpassed Legacy Treasures of the Spirit Sea Level.
Among them could very well be the Rotating Pill Level Legacy Treasures!
With this thought, the eyes of the crowd looking at the thirty black droplets hanging in the high air of the great hall turned fervent.
Rotating Pill Level Legacy Treasures, even obtaining one would mean their trip had not been in vain!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just as everyone\'s eyes were fixated on the black droplets in the sky, the thirty black droplets suddenly emitted light. The strength of the glow varied among the droplets, with the brightest ones exuding the strongest aura of treasures.
Simultaneously, amidst the radiance of the black droplets, a stream of textural information, like flowing water, poured into the minds of every Tomb Explorer in the great hall.
Ye Chen and the others passed their divine thoughts through this textual information, their eyes growing brighter and brighter.
"So that\'s how it is."
"These black droplets are indeed where the master of this ancient tomb left the Rotating Pill Level Legacy Treasures!"
Through the information transmitted into their minds, they finally understood how to traverse this "Azure Blue Mansion"!
It turned out that the Azure Blue Mansion was a wondrous treasure obtained by the ancient tomb\'s master, which was divided into three realm layers: the Outer Mansion, Middle Mansion, and Inner Mansion.
Even the master of the ancient tomb, who reached the Heavenly Saint Level, had only managed to journey through the Outer Mansion of the Azure Blue Mansion and had yet to completely traverse it after obtaining it.
The Middle Mansion and Inner Mansion of the Azure Blue Mansion, even with the strength of a Heavenly Saint, were beyond the tomb master\'s ability to enter!
According to the tomb master, the Outer Mansion of the Azure Blue Mansion contained countless secret chambers accessed by the various passageways in the grand hall. Hidden within these countless secret chambers were countless treasures.
The Heavenly Saint from those years had obtained numerous treasures from these countless secret chambers of the Outer Mansion.
Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, and the thirty-five Tomb Explorers were now in the grand hall of the Outer Mansion of the Azure Blue Mansion.
The various passages of the grand hall were the entrances to the countless secret chambers of the Outer Mansion.
Many of the treasures within these secret chambers had been taken by the tomb master, but still, many remained intact and undiscovered.
If these Tomb Explorers had the strength, they could enter them and search for the treasures within the secret chambers.
However, the tomb master also left a message saying that the treasures within these secret chambers were the Azure Blue Mansion\'s own treasures, extraordinary and immensely valuable, and equally difficult to obtain.
Each secret cavern was laden with countless deadly traps and mechanisms. Even the ancient tomb\'s master, with his cultivation at the Heavenly Saint Realm, hadn\'t fully explored all these caverns. This attested to how difficult it was for tomb explorers like them, far from reaching the Heavenly Saint Realm, to obtain treasures from these caverns.
Besides searching for treasures in these countless secret caverns, there was another place to directly obtain treasures—the thirty black droplets suspended in the air of this grand hall.
These thirty black droplets, left by the master of the ancient tomb, contained the Legacy Treasures that the tomb\'s master had acquired during his lifetime!
These droplets were, in fact, the tomb master\'s Legacy Treasure droplets!
Inside were Rotating Pill level Treasure Instruments, Precious Pills, and even Rotating Pill level heavenly techniques!
The brighter the glow of a black droplet, the more precious the treasure inside.
And the tomb\'s master had set the rule that everyone who entered this grand hall could freely challenge the numerous secret caverns, relying on their strength and luck to obtain treasures within a month\'s time.
However, for these thirty black droplets, each person could only try to enter three to attempt to win the treasures.
Naturally, obtaining these treasures, just like those in the secret caverns, was not easy. The brighter the black droplet, the more difficult it was to acquire the Legacy Treasure inside.
If one\'s strength wasn\'t strong enough, even if they could enter among the three chosen black droplets, they might not secure even one Rotating Pill level Legacy Treasure!
After digesting the information emitted by the black droplets, the people in the grand hall glanced at one another and began to discuss the matter amongst themselves.
Having just entered the Azure Blue Mansion and already lost fifteen people, they clearly needed to carefully deliberate their next steps.
"The Outer Mansion\'s grand hall contains two Secret Treasure realms."
"One is accessible through the grand hall\'s various passageways leading to the secret caverns, and the other is the thirty Legacy Treasure droplets suspended in the air above the hall!"
"As the tomb\'s master mentioned, the caverns are extremely dangerous and number many. It\'s better to tackle them later."
"For the thirty Legacy Treasure droplets, we can try to enter three of them to search for Legacy Treasures. Let\'s start here in the grand hall and challenge these droplets together!"
"By conquering the Legacy Treasure droplets and gaining some benefits, perhaps we could enhance our strength. This could boost our confidence to challenge the even more dangerous secret caverns later on."
"Let\'s first see what\'s inside these Legacy Treasure droplets."
In the end, almost everyone decided to stay and first attempt to claim the treasures within these droplets.
"Jiang Yao, should we start with the Legacy Treasure droplets or go straight to the secret caverns?" Ye Chen transmitted his voice to Jiang Yao.
Before entering the Azure Blue Mansion, Jiang Yao had always felt something calling out to her from within, so naturally, Ye Chen wanted to ask her opinion first.
"Let\'s start with the Legacy Treasure droplets." Jiang Yao\'s clear eyes glanced at the thirty black droplets in the air and then towards the passageway entrances on the grand hall walls before she turned to Ye Chen, her beautiful eyebrows knit together, "Ye Chen, I feel that the thing calling me doesn\'t seem to be in this Outer Mansion."
"The feeling of the call is wonderful and indescribable, as if I can obtain it, yet as if I haven\'t met its requirements, like I\'m currently unable to pursue it."
Not in the Outer Mansion?
Could it be that the thing summoning Jiang Yao was in the Azure Blue Mansion\'s Middle Mansion or Inner Mansion?
The Middle Mansion and Inner Mansion, areas even the tomb\'s master had never set foot in?
What exactly was calling Jiang Yao?
She hadn\'t met its requirements and presently couldn\'t locate it?
Ye Chen now became curious about the thing that could summon Jiang Yao.
"All right, since we have a month\'s time in this Azure Blue Mansion, let\'s spend it searching for treasures and looking for clues about that item," Ye Chen smiled and said to Jiang Yao.
"Mm," Jiang Yao gently nodded her small head.
Her soft hand took hold of Ye Chen\'s, and with him by her side, her heart felt at peace.
She wouldn\'t be afraid, even in the perilous Azure Blue Mansion.
When the thirty-five people in the grand hall all decided to challenge the Legacy Treasure droplets first, their gazes converged upon the thirty droplets above.
Being allowed to enter only three droplets, they obviously wished to choose the brightest glowing droplets, where the most valuable treasures resided.
But with valuable treasures comes great difficulty in acquiring them. Should they fail, they would have wasted an opportunity and missed out on a treasure.
Which Legacy Treasure droplet to enter was the question on everyone\'s mind.
That\'s when a Loose Cultivator at the Half-Step Rotating Pill level stepped forward and said, "I\'ll go first and scout the path for my fellow daoists!"
"I don\'t have huge expectations. Any Rotating Pill level treasure will do. I\'ll start by trying one of the dimmer droplets."
Boom!
As the Loose Cultivator spoke, he moved and flew towards one of the dimmest droplets among the thirty floating in the grand hall.
"Whoosh!"
The moment the Half-Step Rotating Pill Cultivator\'s body touched the three-to-four-meter-long black droplet, he was pulled in by a powerful force as if magnetized, instantly disappearing into the droplet.
