Just as her hand was about to touch the sarcophagus, she heard a tightly sealed wall rumbling and shaking. The stone wall was slowly moving, and amid the rumbling, there were human voices.
Bei Yutang was awakened by the rumbling sound. When she woke up, she found herself standing in front of the sarcophagus. She was so frightened that her face changed drastically and she hurriedly retreated.
"Everyone, inside lies the ultimate destination of this journey, but be aware that the dangers within are a hundred times greater than those outside. To have reached this point today, you must be quite powerful. Once you enter, I hope you will all stick together, otherwise you will all be buried here."
The person who spoke spoke with a sense of sympathy. They had suffered heavy losses on this trip. Hundreds of people had originally entered this place to search for treasure, but all died on the way to the treasure's core.
The discovery of this ancient relic was also coincidental. A team that entered the Forest of Beasts for exploration was chased by a fifth-level monster. They fled here in a panic and then discovered the ruins left by the ancients.
I had originally intended to keep it all to myself, but by sheer luck, I ran into another team. Naturally, a fierce fight ensued, with neither side willing to give in. Opportunities like these are hard to come by, and if I missed this one, I wondered if I'd ever get another chance.
Naturally, both sides fought to the death, but their strength was equal and they fought for half a day without a clear winner. However, because the noise they made was too loud, it attracted several teams. In order to avoid attracting more people to share the spoils, everyone decided to enter the ancient ruins together to look for their own opportunities.
After the group of several hundred entered the ancient ruins, their eyes widened. The first stone chamber was filled with countless spiritual artifacts. The lowest of these spiritual artifacts were top-grade, and those that would be snatched up by people outside would be a disaster. However, good things come with a price. Each spiritual artifact was imbued with terrifying restrictions. The lucky ones obtained a spiritual artifact, while the unlucky ones vanished into thin air.
As they walked along, they were filled with treasures, but many of them could only be looked at and not touched. If they touched one, they would be dead. Therefore, the number of people on the road gradually decreased, and by the time they reached the center, only the seven of them were left.
As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard an unhappy voice behind him, "Hmph, then how should the treasure be distributed?"
"Of course, we divide it equally, and everyone is happy."
"What if it's not enough?"
Because this stone chamber was very likely to contain a quasi-artifact or even an artifact. If they hadn't seen the power before, such things only existed in legends and they would never dare to think about it. However, with the foreshadowing of countless treasures before, they also dared to think about it.
What is a divine artifact? It's something that can destroy heaven and earth. There's only one left in the world, and it's kept for worship in the Cultivation Alliance. If there are any inside, there definitely aren't many.
Therefore, it is natural for that person to ask this question.
"Bah! Zhao Fanghai, put away your hypocritical righteousness. Treasures are naturally known to those who are capable. Who will win depends on your own ability."
The smile on Zhao Fanghai's lips began to crack, and he heard a stern and angry voice, "Meng Zhentian, my second brother is doing this for the good of everyone. Don't be ungrateful. You are certainly a Jindan-stage master, but don't forget that my second brother is also a master."
"Hmph, just the middle stage!" Meng Zhentian snorted with disdain. He was at the peak of the late Jindan stage, two levels lower than him.
