Chapter 286: Chapter 178: Damned Zong's Storage Bag, a Treasure Trove! (Third Release~)_3

```"In the year 2818 of the Xianwu Era, I longed to enter the Five Elements Mountain. Yet, my heart kept warning me of danger! Danger! Great danger! Thus, I refrained from entering. I shall wait until after my cultivation level has significantly improved before venturing into it..."

Su Xing glanced at the Five Elements Mountain a few times. It seemed to be a place where, thousands of years ago, the experts and elders of the powerful sects in the Xianwu world had gone into slumber.

"Could it be... that thousands of years ago, it wasn't only True Person Wan Mu who fell into slumber? Did others from those sects also succumb to sleep?"

Su Xing stroked his chin.

He had not fully explored the Immortal Martial Era Instance; it still hid secrets unknown to him.

"Thousands of years ago, there must have been more than one powerful sect... Perhaps there were other sects as well? Like this Five Elements Sect..."

Su Xing decided that when he had time in the future, he would search for more historical data in the Immortal Martial Era Instance.

After all, the cultivators who went to sleep thousands of years ago must have left behind quite a few treasures...

Su Xing murmured as he looked at the map in his hand.

"However, it might be worth a trip to the Five Elements Mountain. Even if I don't explore it, I can at least get ahold of the spirit stones that Damned Zong left behind!"

Su Xing then rummaged through Damned Zong's diary and treasures in the storage bag but did not find any information of greater value.

Soon, the immersive simulation time ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.

After returning to the real world, Su Xing felt a sense of awe.

"Damned Zong really did have a lot of treasures!"

"What a pity that killing him in the simulation, even if I get his Storage Magical Artifact, requires energy to bring it out..."

"But if I could kill Damned Zong in the real world... that would really be hitting the jackpot!"

Thinking this, Su Xing wished he could face Damned Zong right now and take him down in an instant!

Su Xing's eyes gleamed as he stroked his chin.

"However, there's only one chance in the real world... So, before killing him, it's best to simulate the scenario a few more times as a precaution!"

After contemplating, Su Xing's gaze turned towards the simulation panel.

[After reading through Damned Zong's diary, you quickly locate the Five Elements Mountain...]

[After a month of searching, you finally discover the place where Damned Zong hid the spirit stones.]

[Breaking through the Formation, you retrieve over seventy thousand spirit stones that Damned Zong had hidden away.]

[At the same time, you also find the places in the Five Elements Mountain where powerful cultivators of the past had gone into slumber.]

[As you approach the perimeter of the slumber Formation, you feel a slight stinging sensation in your brow.]

[Knowing the potential dangers within, you prudently decide not to explore further.]

[Leaving the Immortal Martial Era Instance, you return to the real world, continuing to rigorously practice your Sword Control Technique, hoping to reach the initial stage of mastery soon!]

[In the nineteenth year, you practice Sword Control Technique for a year, feeling yourself coming closer and closer to initial mastery, perhaps on the verge of a breakthrough.]

[In the twentieth year, while practicing Sword Control Technique one day, you suddenly have a new insight, which leads to a new understanding of the technique.]

[Congratulations! Your insight into Sword Control Technique naturally progresses to the level of initial mastery!]

[After reaching initial mastery in Sword Control Technique, your travel speed is greatly increased, allowing you to travel thirty thousand li in a day, and you can maintain the pace for several days without feeling tired.]

[Your Flying Sword technique has also advanced to the point where, within the range of your Divine Sense, you can instantly take an enemy's head from thousands of meters away!]

[In the twenty-first year, on the day of Jingzhe, you attempt to collect Spring Dew Pure Water.]

``` Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[True to expectations, with the Divine Sense of the Entry Micro Realm combined with the minor accomplishment in Sword Control Technique, you easily collected ten complete drops of Spring Dew Pure Water.]

[You felt quite satisfied with this achievement.]

[But since there were still several years left until the simulation ended, you knew you couldn't waste time and thus continued to rigorously cultivate the Sword Control Technique.]

[In the monotonous life of cultivation, two years passed in the blink of an eye.]

[In the twenty-third year, you decided to visit the Immortal Martial Era Instance once again, to explore the resting remains of True Person Wan Mu.]

[You weren't going to throw your life away, for according to your estimation,]

[if you could directly kill the Living Dead Puppet, you would be able to break into the core of the ancient tomb; and as long as you didn't touch the bronze stone coffin, it was likely that True Person Wan Mu wouldn't easily awaken.]

[After some hesitation, you set off for the Immortal Martial Era Instance.]

[First, you spent half a month collecting three fragments of broken jade, then located the coordinates of that mountain.]

[Breaking open the Formation boulders, you entered into the ancient tomb where True Person Wan Mu lay in rest.]

[Afterwards, you passed through the narrow tunnel and quickly encountered the Living Dead Puppet.]

[Without uttering a word, the Living Dead Puppet launched an attack on you.]

[The Living Dead Puppet was ferocious, but you, having entered the Broken Void Realm, were not afraid of a mere puppet.]

[You supported your Protective Gang Qi and engaged in a fierce battle with the Living Dead Puppet.]

[Even though your Protective Gang Qi hadn't been cultivated to perfection, with the enhancement of the Broken Void Realm, the Origin Force within your body was much thicker than before, and your Protective Gang Qi was even stronger and more reliable.]

[Despite the Living Dead Puppet continuously bombarding your Protective Gang Qi, it merely trembled without showing signs of cracking.]

[Seeing this, you channeled your Origin Force, wrapping it around your fists, and punched out!]

[This punch, with a force of up to a million tons, directly caved in the chest of the Living Dead Puppet.]

[Black liquid flowed from the seven orifices of the Living Dead Puppet, seemingly severely injured.]

[But after all, the Living Dead Puppet had no consciousness and was merely a puppet.]

[As large amounts of black liquid gushed out, it continuously flowed towards the wounds of the Living Dead Puppet for repair.]

[Seeing this, you were surprised in your heart, as the Living Dead Puppet still had the power to fight.]

[A great battle was about to erupt!]

[After hundreds of rounds of fierce combat, the Formations in the ancient tomb trembled continuously, and you finally seized the opportunity to shatter the chest of the Living Dead Puppet with a punch.]

[The Living Dead Puppet's recovery had its limits, it struggled briefly but ultimately failed to rise again.]

[You stowed the Living Dead Puppet into the storage ring and continued to explore the core area of the ancient tomb ruins.]

Su Xing looked on with some amazement and exclaimed,

"This Living Dead Puppet's strength is probably not limited to the early stages of the Broken Void Realm... Could it be close to the mid-stage of the Broken Void Realm?"

After a moment of surprise, Su Xing's gaze returned to the simulation panel.

[You walked through the narrow corridors of the ancient tomb, traveling more than ten li, feeling the surrounding Spiritual Energy gradually becoming abundant.]

[After passing around a corner, you finally saw an invisible Formation, separating the interior and exterior of the ancient tomb ruins...]
