Chapter 2420 Three Types of Treasure Vaults
The ancient poet, Li Bai, was a figure from 1,000 years ago on earth where Duan Ling Tian used to live. However, the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone had existed for a long time, possibly even millions of years ago. The Beyond Heaven Secret Zone last opened hundreds of thousands of years ago. It was impossible for the Li Bai on earth to have left this treasure vault here based on the timeline.
Zhang Yi who was baffled by Duan Ling Tian’s words asked, “Duan Ling Tian, don’t you know that apart from people from the five mundane realms, Great Overarching Golden Celestials can enter the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone as well? Moreover, they can enter whenever they please.”
“Great Overarching Golden Celestials from Devata Realms can enter the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone as well? There’s such a thing?” Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, taken aback since he did not know about this matter. In fact, he did not even know about the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone before he entered it. He had thought it was called the Sword Saint Secret Zone and that it was left behind by Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang.
Han Xue Nai was similarly shocked when she heard this while Liu Xia remained unperturbed as though she had already known about all these things.
“The Beyond Heaven Secret Zone is actually a medium for Great Overarching Golden Celestials to find inheritors for their inheritances. The reason why this realm is so stable that even Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials aren’t able to even leave a hole in the void is due to the fact that this secret zone was created by a Great Overarching Golden Celestial,” Zhang Yi explained, “Although the stability of the realm is not comparable to Devata Realms, it’s still much superior to mundane realms!”
Duan Ling Tian had discovered earlier that the secret zone was, indeed, very stable when he had attacked earlier. He had unleashed an attack that was comparable to a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial’s strength earlier to kill Pei Kun Shan, but the attack did not leave any cracks in the void at all. Not even a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial would have been able to leave a tiny crack on the void. After all, if they were capable of that, the keys to the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone would have lost their value.
“Great Overarching Golden Celestials and those who are stronger are usually very particular and have high requirements for their disciples. If they can’t find disciples they’re satisfied with in Devata Realms, it’s not unusual for them to turn to mundane realms. This is the reason the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone exists. In fact, our five mundane realms aren’t the only mundane realms connected to a Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Most mundane realms are connected to a Beyond Heaven Secret Zone as well. Since there are so many mundane realms, it’s not too difficult to guess that there are many Beyond Heaven Secret Zones as well,” Zhang Yi continued to patiently explain, “This Beyond Heaven Secret Zone we’re in opens only once every hundred of thousands of years. Moreover, there’s only one inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. This means only one person will be able to obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial every hundred of thousands of years. Imagine the chaos if there were no Beyond Heaven Secret Zones. It would be difficult for Great Overarching Golden Celestials to find inheritors in all the mundane realms.”
Duan Ling Tian was stunned by Zhang Yi’s words. Every mundane realm was connected to a Beyond Heaven Secret Zone? Previously, Elder Huo had told him there were 81 Devata Realms, but there were countless of mundane realms. Even if a Beyond Heaven Secret Zone was connected to a few mundane realms at the same time, the number of Beyond Heaven Secret Zones must be very high!
Duan Ling Tian had initially found it impractical when he learned that the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone would only open once every hundreds of thousands of years and only one person would be able to obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. How difficult would it be for a Great Overarching Bodiless Celestial to search for an inheritor that way? However, when he found out that every mundane realm was connected to a Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, he realized it was not as impractical as he had thought. After all, the number of mundane realms were high. This means the number of Beyond Heaven Secret Zone was high as well. Who knew if there were hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of Beyond Heaven Secret Zones out there? If there are hundreds of thousands of Beyond Heaven Secret Zones, this meant that even if the secret zones only opened once in a hundred thousand years and only one person would be able to obtain the inheritance, collectively, it meant that there would be one man each year who received the inheritance. If there were a million Beyond Heaven Secret Zones, this meant that there would be 10 men who inherited the inheritance in a secret zone every year. The numbers of inheritors were quite high when calculated in this manner. Therefore, Duan Ling Tian no longer found this method impractical.
Zhang Yi finally spoke up again, “Therefore, the Green Lotus Sword Saint, no, I should call him the Green Lotus Sword Celestial, has a high chance of being Li Bai from Planet Yan Huang. As long as he has already become a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, there’s no reason why he can’t leave his inheritance here.”
Speaking of which, Zhang Yi gazed at Duan Ling Tian and laughingly questioned, “Duan Ling Tian, you wouldn’t think that…the underground palace in front of us, has the inheritance left behind by that Green Lotus Sword Celestial Li Bai, would you?” After a while, he narrowed his eyes as he asked Duan Ling Tian curiously, “Duan Ling Tian, you can’t possibly think the inheritance from Li Bai, the Green Lotus Sword Celestial, is in the underground palace, right?
Duan Ling Tian was confused by Zhang Yi’s question. “Isn’t this where the Green Lotus Sword Celestial left his inheritance?” However, based on Zhang Yi’s words, it did not seem to be the case.
“Of course not!” Zhang Yi shook his head. “Didn’t you hear Li Bai’s words earlier? He had said this is a heaven-rank treasure vault he left behind!”
“Isn’t the inheritance located in a heaven-rank treasure vault?” Duan Ling Tian asked.
Zhang Yi was rendered momentarily speechless by Duan Ling Tian’s ignorance. He really wondered how Duan Ling Tian managed to enter the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone half a year ago. Nevertheless, he still patiently explained everything to him. “You don’t know about heaven-rank treasure vaults? Well, in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, apart from the location of the inheritance from a Great Overarching Bodiless Celestial, there are three types of valuable sites. One of them is human-rank treasures vaults. Those are the places we had been earlier. This type of treasure vaults only contained clues leading to the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. After that, there are the earth-rank treasure vaults. It’s where Celestial Supreme Treasures are located. Generally, there’s only one Celestial Supreme Treasure in each earth-rank treasure vault. These treasure vaults are protected by Formations. Finally, apart from the location where the inheritance is located, the heaven-rank treasure vaults are places that contain the most valuable treasure!”
Before Zhang Yi found out that Li Bai was the one who had left this treasure vault behind, he had already been very excited when he heard the words, ‘a heaven-rank treasure vault’.
“Do heaven-rank treasure vaults also prohibit Bodiless Celestials from entering it similar to human-rank treasure vaults and the location of the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial? Does this mean Bodiless Celestials are only able to obtain Celestial Supreme Treasure from earth-rank treasure vaults? It seems like they have not much to gain here!”
“Well, it’s not entirely inaccurate to say they don’t have much to gain in here. After all, if they discover the location of a heaven-rank treasure vault or the location of the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, they can still wait outside and look for an opportunity to s.n.a.t.c.h the treasure from those weaker than them.” A worried expression appeared on Zhang Yi’s face when he spoke about this. When he saw how indifferent Duan Ling Tian looked, he reminded him fearfully, “Duan Ling Tian, you can’t underestimate the Bodiless Celestials who have entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Many of them are Seven and Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials! There are even Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials!”
Duan Ling Tian’s calm facade cracked a little when he heard the words ‘Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials’. He asked, “Are there any Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials in Yan Huang Realm?”
“Of course!” Zhang Yi replied without any hesitation.
Duan Ling Tian felt his heart skip a beat when he heard Zhang Yi’s words. After all, knowing about Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials and the possibility of meeting one was a different matter.
