"The Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall is opening?"
In the main hall of the Yuan Manor, Mo Yu's face lit up with excitement after hearing Bing Lao's report.
Ever since Mo Yu won the championship of the Refining Convention and obtained the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall, he had been eagerly awaiting its opening.
Unfortunately, as an enigmatic object from beyond the realm, the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall's opening times were unpredictable.
Thus, Mo Yu had waited for several years. Now, he finally received news of its imminent opening.
"Bing Lao, is it true? When and where will it open?" Mo Yu quickly stood up, his eyes fixed on Bing Lao.
Even She Lao, standing nearby, looked over with curiosity. After all, he had heard rumors of the mystical Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall.
Bing Lao did not keep them in suspense and said directly, "Manor Lord, the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall is hidden in the Eastern Region of the continent. It only reveals itself when it opens.
According to reports from subordinates of the Hundred Weapons Hall, someone recently spotted the shadow of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall in the Thunder Abyss Mountains of the Eastern Region. If nothing goes wrong, it will open within half a month."
"Half a month..." Mo Yu stroked his chin. The timeline was tight, but he could still make it.
"However..." Bing Lao continued, "When the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall revealed itself, ten mysterious tokens suddenly appeared. These tokens are extraordinary, allowing entry into the treasure hall's domain.
I suspect they are similar to our Weapon Alliance's Divine Weapon Token. Even those who are not weapon refiners can use these tokens to enter the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall."
Hearing this, Mo Yu's expression froze and then grew serious. "If non-weapon refiners can also enter, doesn't that make my championship in the Refining Convention meaningless?"
Bing Lao's expression turned somewhat awkward. Originally, the greatest honor of the Refining Convention was entry to the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall. However, the emergence of these ten mysterious tokens undermined the value of the alliance's rewards.
Mo Yu knew Bing Lao was not to blame, so he waved his hand dismissively. Then, as if recalling something, he asked, "Bing Lao, do you have the Divine Weapon Token with you? Let me see it."
"I came here precisely to deliver it," Bing Lao said with a slight smile. He brushed his aged hand over his spatial ring, and a bright light flashed, flying toward Mo Yu.
In the next moment, a strange brilliance rose from the light. As the glow gradually faded, it revealed a palm-sized, triangular bronze token.
The token's surface was covered in a dark green patina, resembling the stains left by time. On one corner of the token, two ancient characters could be faintly discerned.
"So this is the Divine Weapon Token..." Mo Yu murmured as he carefully examined the token.
The Weapon Alliance had long controlled this Divine Weapon Token, which allowed the competition champion to enter the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall. This token was said to have been acquired by an ancient weapon refiner within the treasure hall thousands of years ago and later passed down to the alliance.
Possession of this Divine Weapon Token, along with the status of a weapon refiner, ensured entry into the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall without rejection.
As Mo Yu held the token, he thought of the ten mysterious tokens from the treasure hall. Frowning slightly, he turned to Bing Lao and asked, "Can we determine where these ten mysterious tokens are?"
Bing Lao furrowed his brows in thought before shaking his head. "The exact locations are unknown, but it is said that these tokens have been obtained by several strong forces in the Eastern Region.
However, I suspect that the significance of these mysterious tokens will soon be realized by ancient clans and the superpowers of Central Plains. Most likely, the tokens will end up in their hands."
Mo Yu nodded in agreement, though his face darkened slightly.
In the past, holding the Divine Weapon Token meant he could enter the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall without competition.
Now, with ten additional mysterious tokens, and the fact that non-weapon refiners could enter, the number of competitors had increased significantly.
The Hall of Souls, in particular, would not miss this opportunity. Given the mysterious origins of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall, the Hun Clan was bound to have an interest in it.
Moreover, since the Eastern Region was home to the Gu Clan, it was certain that they would acquire several of these tokens, securing numerous spots.
Though he had a good relationship with Xun Er, the Gu Clan and Xun Er were two separate entities.
In addition, other ancient clans, super beast clans, and even forces like the Pill Tower would undoubtedly become involved.
Considering this, Mo Yu could only smile bitterly.
Things had grown far more complicated...
Still, Mo Yu was not one to shy away from challenges. Even with the added competition, he remained confident in himself.
"Half a month, huh? Let's do this: Old Demon Tian Ming will come with me. She Lao, you stay and guard the Yuan Manor." Mo Yu stroked his chin as he made his decision.
The treasure hall was important, but the Yuan Manor could not be left undefended. After careful thought, he decided to bring only Old Demon Tian Ming with him.
She Lao contemplated for a moment before nodding.
Old Demon Tian Ming was strong, almost on par with She Lao. Moreover, with his loyalty ensured by Mo Yu's Black Lotus Soul Thunder, he was a trustworthy companion for the trip to the Eastern Region.
Once his decision was made, Mo Yu wasted no time. Over the next five days, he spent more time with Xiao Yu and the others before setting out on his journey.
Above Yuan City, Mo Yu and Old Demon Tian Ming flew side by side. Mo Yu waved toward Xiao Yu and the others in the distance. After a brief pause to adjust, the two headed for the Eastern Region.
Both Mo Yu and Old Demon Tian Ming were Sheng-level experts, their travel speed far surpassing that of ordinary experts. They tore through space as they traveled, reaching the Eastern Region in just half a day.
The last time Mo Yu had visited the Eastern Region was during the Tomb expedition, where he had glimpsed the wonders of the Gu Realm.
Though he did not enter the Gu Realm this time, the unique atmosphere of the Eastern Region left a vivid impression on him.
As he walked through the city, he felt an intense energy in the air. The buzz of rumors swept across the land, all centered around one topic.
The Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall.
Whenever these four words were mentioned, people's eyes gleamed with greed. Anyone aware of the hall's secrets knew its extraordinary significance.
The Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall was said to house an Emperor Weapon.
Just two words—Emperor Weapon—evoked awe and reverence. Such weapons were synonymous with divine treasures. Even ancient Dou Di experts might not have possessed one.
Even if the dreams of obtaining such a treasure were unrealistic, a weapon of the eighth or ninth grade could still make countless people jealous.
The emergence of ten mysterious tokens granting free entry only added fuel to the fire...
Thunder Abyss Mountains
Crowds gathered densely, their chatter forming a booming cacophony that spread far and wide.
Hovering in midair, Mo Yu and Old Demon Tian Ming gazed at the thousands of people before them, their brows slightly furrowed.
The events surrounding the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall were originally shrouded in secrecy, known only to a select few. Ordinary people were entirely unaware of its existence. However, after ten mysterious tokens were scattered across the world, they became the focus of many ambitious factions.
As these factions fought for the tokens in the shadows, the secret of the mysterious tokens gradually became widely known. Even the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall itself became a topic of discussion among many.
At present, not everyone heading to Thunder Abyss Mountain was aiming to enter the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall. After all, without a token, entry was impossible. Most people were likely here just to witness the spectacle.
Ahead of the massive crowd stretched an ancient forest exuding a primal aura. Towering trees, each hundreds of meters tall, stood like giants. Their expansive canopies blocked out the sky, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate.
Within the depths of the forest lay a pervasive darkness that sent shivers down the spine. Occasionally, ferocious beast roars echoed out, adding a chilling sense of danger.
The Thunder Abyss Mountain Range, considered a forbidden zone of the Eastern Region, was as perilous as the desolate wilderness of the ancient domains.
"Let's go. It's said that the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall lies deep within the mountain range. Let's take a look," instructed Mo Yu, turning to Old Demon Tian Ming beside him.
With that, Mo Yu lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, transforming into a shadow and darting toward the ancient forest at lightning speed. Behind him, Old Demon Tian Ming swiftly followed.
The two moved with impressive speed, reaching the mountain range's depths within just ten minutes. At that moment, a towering mountain peak suddenly appeared before their eyes.
The mountaintop was remarkably expansive, resembling a vast plaza. At present, it was already teeming with people. Clearly, the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall's appearance had been revealed at this location.
With this realization, Mo Yu and Old Demon Tian Ming concealed their auras and blended into the crowd.
As they moved deeper into the gathering, their deliberate effort to mask their presence ensured they drew little attention, much to Mo Yu's satisfaction.
Mo Yu scanned the crowd but found no familiar faces, leaving him somewhat puzzled. Could it be that the mysterious tokens hadn't fallen into the hands of the major factions?
Despite his confusion, Mo Yu and Old Demon Tian Ming maintained their pace, gradually approaching the center of the mountaintop.
Upon arrival, Mo Yu noticed a massive natural stone platform, hundreds of meters wide and about two meters tall, standing at the center.
Atop the stone platform stood a smaller crowd compared to those below. However, these individuals all had one thing in common: their formidable auras.
Raising an eyebrow, Mo Yu swept his gaze across the platform and immediately noticed something.
At one side of the platform was a group of over twenty people. Their menacing aura was palpable, and every one of them exuded significant strength. At the forefront stood an elderly man clad in a black robe.
The old man's aura was restrained, but upon closer inspection, a terrifying suction force emanated faintly from his slightly parted lips.
Behind the black-robed elder were three familiar figures, causing Mo Yu to pause and murmur, " Three Lesser Sky Demon Phoenixes!"
These three were the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan members Mo Yu had encountered before at the Abyssal Lion Clan's territory. Back then, due to the matter of Zi Huo, these three Ban Sheng experts had attacked the Abyssal Lion Clan. If not for She Lao arriving at a critical moment, Mo Yu would have been in significant trouble.
With the presence of these three, the identity of the group became evident—they were from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan.
Seeing this, Mo Yu's expression grew serious. It seemed the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan had also obtained a mysterious token and intended to claim a share of the Heavenly Profound Treasure Hall's opportunities.
Following the internal strife within the Ancient Void Dragon clan, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan appeared to have grown increasingly ambitious.
Given that the black-robed elder stood ahead of the Three Lesser Sky Demon Phoenixes, his status and strength within the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan were undoubtedly significant.
Moreover, the peculiar suction force emanating from him confirmed it—this elder was undoubtedly one of the Three Sky Demon Phoenixes, Kun Huang.
As Mo Yu studied the figure, Kun Huang seemed to notice him. A pair of icy, ferocious eyes locked onto Mo Yu's position.
Recognizing Mo Yu, Kun Huang's expression darkened, a flicker of killing intent flashing through his gaze.
However, the killing intent quickly dissipated. Faced with Mo Yu, a fellow one-star Dou Sheng, Kun Huang evidently lacked the confidence to take him down and forcibly suppressed his desire to attack.
Seeing this, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow and smirked disdainfully.
"A cowardly rat," he muttered.
Just as Mo Yu lowered his guard, he suddenly sensed a chilling gaze upon him. At the same time, a voice filled with murderous intent echoed across the mountaintop.
"Mo Yu, I didn't expect you to show up. Perfect timing—let's settle both old and new grudges today. This will be your death anniversary!"
Hearing the cold voice, Mo Yu froze momentarily before turning his head to look upward. His expression shifted slightly.
From the void came a bone-chilling sneer. Dense black mist surged forth, and within it emerged a thin, skeletal figure exuding an eerie aura.
Sensing the sinister presence, Mo Yu immediately identified the newcomer. His expression darkened as he muttered:
"Hall of Souls!"
