"So, the secret treasures like the Netherworld Golden Cauldron and the underwater treasures of Tianling Island are just part of a giant magic array covering thousands of miles of the South Seas?"
The similarities among the several hidden treasures led them to this conjecture.
The Spirit Master looked thoughtful.
He suddenly said triumphantly, "In that case, after we seize the Thousand Threads of Heavenly Secrets of Wanhua Island and improve our strength, we will also dig out the other three secret treasures."
In any case, after searching their memories, they have already found the locations of five secret treasures, and these places are indeed Hades' focus of attention.
No one else had any objections.
As the Spirit Master watched Lin Jinglong's figure disappear into the horizon, he said reproachfully, "To have made such a significant discovery and yet not tell us, is truly selfish!"
Shen Xiong Hua and Li Gong's lips twitched slightly.
"Xuanling, if you also mastered the ancient soul-searching technique, would you share these memories with us?"
Huangfu An glanced disdainfully at the bald man in white.
Master Xuanling nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would share the benefits with them and would never be like Lin Jinglong, who kept things to himself.
But all they get are contemptuous looks from others.
They had already experienced the way Xuanling Temple did things. If there were any benefits, Master Xuanling would definitely intend to keep them all for himself. Just like with the Blood Fiend Origin before, he had no intention of sharing it.
As for Lin Jinglong, just as they had expected, he went to Tianling Island to find a new secret treasure that was exactly the same as the one from which the Netherworld Golden Cauldron was unearthed.
However, this place leads to the seabed.
Furthermore, the entrance has been guarded by the Federation of Superpowers, and no force is allowed to approach it.
Tianling Island was also under heavy guard.
As soon as Lin Jinglong arrived, he was met with dozens of intense gazes. The owners of these gazes had all reached the Supreme Realm or above.
"It seems that their excavation in Southeast Asia has indeed yielded huge results. It can be said that the number of experts in Southeast Asia even exceeds that of Kyoto, and they are all enemies of Great Xia."
At least for now, they are enemies.
Lin Jinglong made no attempt to conceal his intentions.
After arriving, they planned to venture deep into the mountains in the center of the island, intending to use the downward passage to reach the seabed.
But dozens of figures had already rushed in from different directions.
The leader was a dark-skinned local man who looked to be in his fifties. He didn't seem like a Dao-Merging Supreme Being; he looked more like an old farmer.
But that's just his appearance. The opponent's actual level of cultivation, judging from the aura he released, was already enough to make people wary.
"Where do you come from, sir? Don't you know that Tianling Island is under martial law? Without orders from the higher-ups of the Superpower Federation, no one is allowed to approach!"
Behind the old man were dozens of people, all of whom were Supreme-level experts. However, they all appeared to be locals, with only two or three of them bearing obvious traces of the Superpower Federation.
Lin Jinglong smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Island Master Chen of Tianling Island."
This person is named Chen Xifeng. According to Hades' memories, he is the patriarch of the Chen family, the largest clan among the local forces of Tianling Island, and also the island lord of Tianling Island.
Even though the Superpower Federation controlled the South Seas, this person only cooperated with them temporarily and did not lead Tianling Island to fully join the Superpower Federation and work for them.
However, the secret treasure they possessed was handed over to the Superpower Federation in exchange for a deal to prevent war between the two sides.
Chen Xifeng had no objection to this.
The Superpower Federation, on the other hand, is not so intolerant as to lack even this much tolerance; what they want are the various treasures buried deep in the South Sea.
With enough resources, they can easily create several more Dao-Merging Supremes like Chen Xifeng.
After Chen Xifeng heard Lin Jinglong announce his identity...
He appeared somewhat surprised, assuming the other party was also a representative from the Superpower Federation, and turned to signal the three Supreme-level Superpower users to come forward.
"Three special envoys, do you know him?"
"No, this person is from the Great Xia Dynasty, he is... Lin Jinglong!"
One of the special envoys looked at Lin Jinglong warily.
He was unaware that the upper echelons of the Superpower Federation had undergone tremendous changes, including the capture of You Jiu, a top-tier powerhouse second only to the First Person, and even their leader Hades, the King of the Underworld.
The moment he recognized Lin Jinglong.
The envoy at the head of the group revealed a wary look in his eyes.
The other person, though not recognizing Lin Jinglong, still said to Chen Xifeng, "This is the mortal enemy of the Superpower Federation. We beg Island Master Chen to lend a hand and help us..."
"Bang!"
Just as he was speaking, an invisible burst of energy appeared, instantly blasting the special envoy from the Superpower Federation into a bloody mist, which then turned into ashes and drifted away.
Everyone nearby was terrified.
Even Chen Xifeng stared wide-eyed at Lin Jinglong in disbelief. He couldn't understand the attack that this guy had just unleashed at all.
The remaining two Federation envoys had gloomy expressions.
Lin Jinglong smiled as he looked at them.
“Go on, properly introduce your identities to Island Master Chen. If you do it well, maybe the two of you will have a chance to live. If you try to say something else nonsense, the outcome will be the same.”
The leader said bitterly to Chen Xifeng, "This man is called Lin Jinglong. He is the strongest among the ten clans of the Great Heavenly Dao. He has come to this place. I ask Island Master Chen to handle his relationship properly."
Chen Xifeng had only been feigning cooperation with the Superpower Federation. Seeing Lin Jinglong's formidable strength, he glanced at the two special envoys beside him and knew they intended for him to help expel Lin Jinglong from Tianling Island.
But as the lord of an island, he cooperated with the Superpower Federation for the sake of peace. Now that Lin Jinglong, the elder representative, has come, how could he easily start a war with him?
Instead, a respectful and ingratiating smile appeared on his face.
"So you are a special envoy from the Elders' Council. Please come with me to Tianling Island, Mr. Lin. I will treat you well. Please feel free to tell me if you need anything."
Lin Jinglong nodded in satisfaction.
As he passed by the two grim-faced Federation envoys, he made no move. Before they could even speak, they, like the previous man, instantly turned to ashes and vanished.
The surrounding Tianling Island warriors looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"What's wrong with this world? It's bad enough that the Superpower Federation has come and taken control of the South Seas, but the people sent by the Elders' Council are also so terrifying!"
They were talking quietly.
Chen Xifeng, who was leading the way, kept his eyes straight ahead, cold sweat trickling down his forehead. As he led the way, he heard Lin Jinglong ask a question.
"I wonder if Island Master Chen could explain to me what's so special about that secret treasure hidden deep in the sea off Tianling Island? You've lived here for thousands of years, so you should know a thing or two about it, right?"
