"Ancestors, I can explain," Shui Liying spoke, her voice respectful yet firm. She stepped forward, her eyes meeting the gaze of each guardian elder in turn. "The situation in the Earth province is dire. Our sect is facing a grave threat from the devil forces. Two peak masters are gravely injured, and Senior brother Deming is engaged in a fierce battle with a devil emperor. We need to obtain the Five Harmony Soul Resurgence Pill to save martial brother Hu Tao's life."
The three guardian elders exchanged glances, a concerned expression appeared on each of their faces. They listened attentively as Shui Liying provided a brief account of the events unfolding at the Yellow Stone City and the urgency of their mission.
After Shui Liying finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, as the guardian elders deliberated amongst themselves. Finally, the elder who had initially spoken, the one sitting at the extreme left, spoke again.
"Girl, we understand the gravity of the situation. The protection and preservation of the Xuantian sect is of paramount importance than the treasures stored in the secret chamber" the elder spoke, his voice resonating with wisdom and authority. "But you need to pick carefully. We will take note of whatever treasures you are taking. Bing Yue will decide whether to charge contribution points or not."
Shui Liying nodded her head and bowed down to show her gratitude. "Ancestors, thank you for your understanding. Please give access to these two juniors. They will pick the treasures needed for the Five harmony soul resurgence pill. As for me, I have to excuse myself. Martial brother Jia Wei is gravely injured. I need to tend to his injury."
"Fine, you can leave. we will open the spatial entrance for these two juniors", an elder spoke. Shui Liying bowed once again towards the three guardian elders before looking towards Zhan Chen. "Senior, we can talk later. I promise I will hurry over to the Yellow stone city as soon as possible", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Be quick. Bring the Five harmony soul resurgence pill as soon as possible", Shui Liying replied. She was feeling slightly to reluctant to leave the side of Zhan Chen but she knew what was more important. She took a brief glance at Zhan Chen before walking out of the Large hall.
"Shall we start?", a guardian elder asked his two companions. Other two nodded their heads and all three of them rose from their seated positions. A mighty, suffocating aura came out of their bodies as they floated in the mid air. Together, they approached a specific spot in the empty hall where intricate patterns etched into the floor.
The guardian elders began to perform a series of mysterious hand gestures, their movements graceful and synchronized. All of them channeled their essence energy towards the spot and an enormous formation hidden within the hall appeared infront of both Zhan Chen and Liu Hua.
Multicoloured brilliant light erupted and a concealed passage materialized before Zhan Chen and Liu Hua. "Remember, you only have one hour to leave the secret chamber. If you don't leave by then, you might be stuck forever", a guardian elder warned. Zhan Chen and Liu Hua bowed towards the guardian elders before walking towards the spatial passage. There was curiousity in both of their eyes as they entered the spatial passage.
Colourful lights dotted the wall of the spatial passages as Zhan Chen and Liu Hua walked across it. "It is a very stable spatial tunnel", Zhan Chen exclaimed with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He had already seen a lot of teleportation formations but it was his first time to see such a stable spatial tunnel between two locations. Considering difficulty level, opening a stable spatial tunnel was more difficult than setting up a teleportation formation.
'Xuantian sect is really a marvellous sect. First, the ancestoral projections in the testing ground and now a stable spatial tunnel in the treasure hall, this sect of mine is really full of wonders', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He looked towards Liu Hua and a smile appeared on his face after seeing her completely fascinated expression. She was lost amidst the mysterious beauty of the spatial tunnel.
The spatial tunnel was not a long one. Zhan Chen and Liu Hua approached the end of the spatial tunnel after walking for few minutes. At the end of the tunnel, there was a large cave.
The cave looked ancient as one could see the rugged stones at the wall and the roof of the cave. Time had left an impact on the surface of the stones and from it, one could easily imagine how ancient the secret treasure chamber of the Xuantian sect was.
"Zhan Chen, which treasures do you want?", Liu Hua asked. There was a look of curiousity on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.
The legends appeared true to her as soon as she stepped out of the spatial passage. There were myriads of powerful and unique treasures which spread across the large cave uniformly.
The treasures were placed on perfectly carved stone shelves. Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and his eyes lit up immediately.
"I will pick few treasures of five elements but my priority will be treasures which have extreme yang property. I don't want to miss the extreme yin treasures either. Those treasures are extremely beneficial for Kai Min", Zhan Chen replied.
There were weapons, armours, precious stones, formation materials and all sorts of elemental treasures. Few treasures were so unique that Liu Hua could not peel her eyes from them.
Among the myriad of treasures, what attracted Liu Hua the most was a sparkling blue battle robe. The battle robe was sky grade and extremely beautiful to look. There were some leaf like patterns on the battle robe which made the battle robe more attractive.
"Do you like it?", Zhan Chen asked softly from her side. "Yes, it is the famous Jade princess robe. There are only seven such treasures existed in the Central land. Together with other six pieces, they made a heaven grade set", Liu Hua spoke. There were admiration and desire in her eyes as she looked towards the battle robe.
"What is the point in watching it? If you want it, then I can gift it to you right away", Zhan Chen spoke.
"No, forget about it. We don't have enough contribution points to take such a treasure. Focus on the essential treasures first. Who know, what the guardian elders will think if we take such irrevalent treasures", Liu Hua replied. She stopped looking at the battle robe and tried to lead Zhan Chen towards a different direction.
'How silly! Who would wait for another opportunity to grab a puny sky grade treasure', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He swept his hand and stored the sparkling blue battle robe in his spatial ring.
"Zhan Chen, don't. How can you be so stupid? We need to collect the necessary treasures first", Liu Hua protested.
Zhan Chen pulled her by her waist and planted an agressive kiss on her cherry red lips. Liu Hua's mind went blank as she saw the burning emotion in Zhan Chen's eyes. There was desire and possessiveness in his eyes as he looked towards her.
"Liu Hua, what kind of man I am if I can't fulfill such a small desire of yours? Let me give you my first gift today. Okay?", Zhan Chen looked towards Liu Hua. Liu Hua felt slightly shy and sweet in her heart as her eyes met with Zhan Chen's.
"Okay, I will take the Jade princess robe", she replied with a slightly emotional voice.
