Chapter 0990: Finding the Heavens-Turning Treasure Vault

Huang Long led everyone to land in the valley, then arrived beneath the Wind and Thunder Divine Tree. As soon as they reached the tree, they were enveloped by an innate wind and thunder energy. Their pores widened, and a faint crackling sound could be heard.

Huang Long looked up and saw that on the lush branches of the tree hung dozens of unripe fruits. These fruits were crystal blue, surrounded by icy blue light that shimmered beautifully.

Wind and Thunder Divine Fruits!

Huang Long counted them—there were forty-nine in total. These fruits were formed from the innate thunder energy of heaven and earth. Each one possessed miraculous effects. Even a half-saint who consumed one could refine their physique, remove impurities, and endow their internal organs with powerful vitality.

The Wind and Thunder Divine Tree’s extended branches covered an area of a hundred miles around. In the skies above, spirits formed from thunder energy wandered constantly. These spirits had developed consciousness and could be considered deities.

The ultimate technique of the Infinite Light School, cultivated by the Infinite Light Sect, involved devouring such deities formed from innate energy and transforming their power into Infinite Light energy.

As Huang Long and the others approached the tree, thousands of these deities formed from innate thunder energy attacked them. Thunder bolts descended from the sky, causing the thunder energy in the valley to surge violently.

Though these thunder deities were formidable, they were facing Huang Long and his companions. Not to mention Huang Long, even Huang Yi and the others easily deflected these attacks and subdued each of these deities one by one.

However, after subduing them, the group did not capture the deities but allowed them to continue wandering among the tree’s branches and in the skies. If they were captured to be used in potion-making, the Wind and Thunder Valley would lose one of its beautiful sights.

Women like Huang Yi, Livia, Susan, and Vitia naturally disagreed.

“Spirit King, investigate and find out where the Heavens-Turning Treasure Vault is!” Huang Long summoned the spirit of the Spirit Communicating Jade, the Spirit King.

“Yes, master!” The Spirit King replied respectfully before sending out beams of light to explore the surroundings of the valley.

The beams of light passed through the valley’s walls and underground. Soon, one beam reflected back from within a mountain cliff.

Seeing this, Huang Long and the others flew to that cliff. With a focused gaze, he said, “What a powerful concealment array! Without the Spirit King’s exploration using the Spirit Communicating Jade, it would have been difficult for me to locate the entrance to the Heavens-Turning Treasure Vault in such a short time.”

Huang Long could see that the hidden formation arranged by this Heaven-Subverting Demon Ancestor was extremely powerful. However, since they had found the entrance to this Heaven-Subverting Treasure Vault, no matter how formidable this hidden formation was, it wouldn’t pose a challenge to Huang Long. He chanted spells, fully unleashing the formation’s power. Suddenly, a burst of light shot from the mountain wall, followed by dark clouds that transformed the scene before everyone’s eyes, revealing a forest. Indeed, it was a forest stretching as far as the eye could see, and every tree in this forest wasn’t solid but was formed from condensed lightning energy. “Is this the Lightning Wood Slaughter Formation?!” “The Heavenly Gang Yin Lightning Formation?!” “The Yan Hai Lightning Light Formation!” Huang Long’s eyes sparkled—this formation was actually composed of over a dozen powerful innate formations. To be on the safe side, he ordered everyone to enter the Sacred Cauldron before beginning to break down these innate formations one by one. Though combined, these innate formations were formidable, they were ultimately defeated by Huang Long. When the formation was broken, the mountain wall glowed, and a cave several meters wide appeared before Huang Long. Above the cave entrance stood a divine artifact. This artifact resembled an ancient tree, emitting lightning light, and turned out to be a King-Class Dao Artifact. Huang Long knew this was the core of those dozen innate formations. What surprised him, however, was that the Heaven-Subverting Demon Ancestor had gone so far as to use a King-Class Dao Artifact to set up the formation in order to conceal his treasure vault! With a single palm motion, Huang Long seized the artifact. “True Lightning Spirit Staff!” As he took the artifact in his hand and infused it with his magical power, four characters appeared on it with a flash of light. Huang Long was stunned—on the list of Dao Artifacts, the True Lightning Spirit Staff ranked 892nd. He never expected it to be a King-Class Dao Artifact. It was said that this True Lightning Spirit Staff had been used by the True Lightning Demon Ancestor, a peak warrior from the late period of twelve eras, twenty eras ago. How could it have ended up in the hands of the Heaven-Subverting Demon Ancestor? Huang Long was puzzled. After a while, he placed the True Lightning Spirit Staff back in its original position. Although he had broken the formation, its restrictions hadn’t been destroyed. By returning the True Lightning Spirit Staff, the original formation could be reactivated to hide the entrance to the Heaven-Subverting Treasure Vault once again. Entering the cave, Huang Long ordered Huang Yi and the others to come out and led them deeper into the cave by flying. The cave entrance was initially narrow, wide enough only for two people to pass through, but it gradually widened until dozens of people could pass through together. Yet, even after flying for half an hour, Huang Long and his group still hadn’t reached the bottom of the cave.

The soil walls inside the cave were dry and well-lit. Occasionally, some thunder-type spiritual creatures could be seen growing on them, many of which were rare treasures. After flying for nearly an hour, suddenly, a bright light appeared before everyone’s eyes, as if they had arrived in a new world. Looking down, they saw lush green grass, fragrant flowers, and all kinds of magical plants everywhere. Among these plants, strange and divine trees could be seen from time to time. This was also a valley. However, it was quite large—Yellow Dragon’s divine sense indicated it covered an area of tens of thousands of square miles. The valley was surrounded by mountains, with thunderclouds rolling continuously high above. The thunder energy here was even stronger than outside! With the help of the glow from the spiritual jade, Yellow Dragon led everyone to a mountain wall in the valley, where another hidden formation was found! This hidden formation was as powerful as the one outside. Yellow Dragon broke it down one by one, and finally, a large door appeared on the mountain wall. This was the door to the Heaven-Reversing Treasure Vault! The door was hundreds of feet tall and made of primordial divine iron. Seeing a pattern-like gap on the door, Yellow Dragon took out the Heaven-Reversing Map. As soon as the map appeared, it flew over the gap, emitting intense light. The door slowly opened, and streams of precious light, rich spiritual energy, and the scent of pills wafted out. “This Heaven-Reversing Treasure Vault is so hidden—surely the Heaven-Reversing Demon Ancestor has stored many precious treasures here!” Pi Long’s eyes shone as he watched the streams of light coming from the vault’s door, clicking his lips in excitement. Everyone smiled. “Let’s go in!” Yellow Dragon was also very interested in this treasure vault. He wanted to see what was inside that made the Heaven-Reversing Demon Ancestor willing to sacrifice a king-class divine artifact to set up a hidden formation for protection.
