Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked thoughtfully at the red-colored coffin. Then, an enigmatic smile made its way onto his mouth.

He slowly took a step back and scanned his surroundings. Upon seeing that nobody was paying any attention to him, he silently removed that mysterious straw cape that he had gotten from Dafang Sect from within the medicine spiritual ring.

Nobody knew what level of a treasure this straw cape had been back in the day. That was because it had now deteriorated and had lost its powers over time. Despite this, it was currently still comparable to a top grade spiritual weapon.

Moreover, the straw cape was a very unique treasure. If it was used appropriately, it could even trump the other attack or defense type top grade spiritual weapons.

After looking at the red coffin, Mo Wen’s expression grew exceptionally solemn. It was the first time such a serious expression had been seen on his face. He put the straw cape on and held a few spiritual stones in his hand, secretly transferring them into spiritual power.

Once everything was well-prepared, he finally walked into the palace hall once again.

The people all around did not care too much about Mo Wen even after having seen the way he dressed. After all, everyone’s attention was on the treasure within the palace hall. Nobody cared about what he was wearing or where the straw cape had come from.

In the underground palace, there was a treasure that would cause all the ancient martial art practitioners to hyperventilate. Even Bu Zhangkun and Pavilion Leader Ye Rong would not be exceptions.

The only thing that could be seen at the moment were the coffee tables set up on either side of the palace hall. On each of the coffee tables, there was a treasure. The coffee tables on both sides contained a total of about 30 treasures. Moreover, the treasures that were displayed on them were not those that could be compared with the average Immortal Cultivators’ resources. At a glance, the spiritual weapons with auras of spiritual power took up a whole half of the tables. There were also other things, the purpose of which could not be deciphered in just a short time. However, if they were placed here, they were definitely not just average treasures.

Apart from that, the most eye-catching things were the eight stone pillars surrounding the red coffin. In each of the stone pillars, there was an item placed on it. Those items were continuously radiating with a shocking aura of spiritual power.

With just a glance, Mo Wen could tell that at least four of them were top grade spiritual weapons. Although he could not be sure about any of the other items, the rest of them must also be very valuable since they were able to be on display with the top grade spiritual weapons.

He could not hold back the surprise that was engulfing him. An ancient martial art sect has actually been able to collect so many treasures. In the past, Luofeng Sect was not just the average kind of strong. Even the smallest sect of the Immortal Cultivators may not be able to collect so many spiritual weapons and treasures from the world of Immortal Cultivators.

The ambitious Jiang Pingzhou could no longer take it. With a flash of his figure, he flew towards the stone pillar.

Every single one of the stone pillars in the palace were at least a hundred meters tall. The items on the stone pillars were hence about a hundred meters above the ground.

“Old Man Jiang, where is that zen and calming technique of yours? You’re being so anxious and hurried at the moment.” Jiang Jingtao laughed coldly. Although he said so, his actions were no slower than Jiang Pingzhou. He had flown up at almost the exact same time as Jiang Jingtao.

On the other side, Bu Zhangkun and Pavilion Leader Ye Rong had also flown up. They were heading directly for the top of the stone pillar. The prized treasure was just before their eyes. Hence, nobody gave anyone a chance. If they were just a step too slow, the treasure would be taken by someone else.

Mo Wen simply continued to stand on the spot as he looked calmly at the crowd in the palace hall. He did not even participate in the fight for the treasure that was ongoing.

“Mo Wen, why are you not going ahead to fight for the treasures on the stone pillar?”

Chen Wuhui furrowed his brows and looked at Mo Wen uncomprehendingly. He had not rushed to fight for the treasure either. It was not just him; many of the other ancient martial art practitioners did not go ahead to fight for the treasures on the stone pillar. That was because they all knew that they were unable to compete with those few masters with the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm.

Instead of fighting with them and ending up with nothing at all, they would rather set their sights on those treasures that were on the coffee tables.

Chen Wuhui did not go ahead to fight for the treasures because he knew that he did not have the capabilities to. However, Mo Wen clearly had the ability to. Why did he not go for it? Anyone could tell that there was not a single average item on the stone pillars, as everything was exceptional.

“There’s no hurry. They may not be able to get it.” Mo Wen smiled as his lips curled up. He lifted his gaze to look at the few masters flying to the top of the stone pillars. Even so, he continued to stay put.

There was a perplexed look in Chen Wuhui’s eyes. Those treasures were just before their eyes. Why was Mo Wen so sure that Bu Zhangkun and the others would not be able to obtain the treasures? Who else but them would have the ability to get the treasures?

However, very quickly, Chen Wuhui found out the reason why. He simply saw the bodies of those masters on the way to the top tremble a little when they were just about ten meters away from their target. Then, it looked as though they knocked right into something. Their bodies were pushed back towards the ground as they crashed downwards.

It was lucky that they all had rather high cultivations. Hence, none of them knocked into the ground too hard. After falling for about 50 meters, they all managed to stabilize themselves.

“There is actually a Gravitational Pull Barrier.” Jiang Pingzhou’s expression changed a little. He could still continue levitating in the air but it would be very tough for him to fly upwards. Above them, there was a very frightening pressure pressing them down. It was like an invisible huge mountain above their heads.

Pavilion Leader Ye Rong, Bu Zhangkun, and the others continued to maintain their position hovering in mid-air. None of them tried to fly upwards again. They looked towards the top of the stone pillar and their expressions had all turned rather serious.

The region around the stone pillars suddenly had an additional Gravitational Pull Barrier. There was no such barrier previously. It appeared that they had set off something when they were flying up. Hence, it had caused an invisible Gravitational Pull Barrier to be implemented.

The so-called Gravitational Pull Barrier was something that could cause an area to have a markedly different gravity from the usual gravity of the earth. It could both increase or decrease the gravity. Most of the time, Gravitational Stratagems had to be relied on for the production of the Gravitational Pull Barrier.

Clearly, there was an unknown stratagem in operation.

“Such a strong gravitational force.” Jiang Jingtao exhaled deeply. The pressure above them was especially shocking. It was ten times stronger than the pressure they had experienced previously at the underground river. Even with his cultivation of the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm, he found it difficult to handle.

Moreover, this Gravitational Pull Barrier was not normal. The higher they traveled, the stronger the gravity was and hence, the stronger the pressure that was put on them. As they got closer to the ground, the gravity decreased. If one stood at ground level, there was essentially no change at all.

Such a Gravitational Pull Barrier that could be split by height was far more complicated than the usual Gravitational Pull Barrier. He did not know about the other sects but at the moment, Weapon Forging Sect, at least, was still unable to set up such a Gravitational Pull Barrier.

“Did you already know that the spiritual stone is surrounded by an invisible Gravitational Stratagem?” Chen Wuhui looked at Mo Wen in shock. He simply did not understand how he had known!

Mo Wen simply smiled without a word. Not a single one of the ancient martial art practitioners around could beat his understanding of Immortal Cultivators. The eight stone pillars all had spiritual markings engraved on them. Moreover, it was in the writing of an Immortal Cultivator. Hence, the eight stone pillars formed a large-scaled stratagem.

Moreover, the eight stone pillars formed a combined stratagem and not just a single one. Other than the Gravitational Pull Barrier, there were likely also other unimaginable stratagems.

The whole reason that Mo Wen had not been too anxious to fight for the treasures straight away was that he knew that it would not be so easy to even get to the treasure on the stone pillars.

Chen Wuhui looked deeply into Mo Wen’s eyes. Once again, he had first-hand experience of how mysterious this youth was. Then, no longer paying any attention to Mo Wen, he flew towards those treasures on the coffee table. He no longer considered the treasures on the stone pillars at all. However, the items on the coffee table were not that simple either. At least half of them were spiritual weapons.

The spiritual weapons of Intentionless Sect were fewer than five. However, there were at least ten spiritual weapons on the coffee table. Other than the few masters with the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm, everyone else coveted the items on the coffee tables greatly.

However, the spiritual weapons on those coffee tables were not that easy to obtain either. Whenever an ancient martial art practitioner got close, the eight stone pillars in the center of the palace hall would shine brightly. Then, the light would infiltrate everywhere, shining onto those coffee tables, giving the treasures a protective glow.

Those glows were very defensively strong. Even an ancient martial art practitioner with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm would find it difficult to break through the glow in an hour and a half.

The four ancient martial art practitioners with the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm were still floating in the air. None of them wanted to get down. Their eyes were filled with indignance. The prized treasure was right before their eyes yet they were unable to get up there!

Bu Zhangkun let out a long and shrill cry. Then, a scary aura started radiating from his body. At the moment, he no longer tried to hide his cultivation or abilities. The pressure of his inner Qi felt like waves that were heading in all directions. Even ancient martial art practitioners that were far on the ground could experience his frightening aura. Subconsciously, there was fear in their eyes.

Roar! There was a weird tiger’s roar before Bu Zhangkun’s clothes suddenly began to tear. His body began to swell. In the blink of an eye, he had grown to more than four, or maybe even five, meters. His body size had also increased rather significantly.

Although his clothes had been torn, there was a layer of white light wrapped around his body. The white light began to solidify before it morphed into a layer of white feathers. On top of it, there were even black stripes. Bu Zhangkun looked like a human-tiger.

Roar! The tiger’s cries rang throughout the palace hall. Bu Zhangkun flew upwards fiercely and rose about 30 over meters once again. When he had arrived 20 meters away from the top of the stone pillars, his speed slowed down drastically. He then began to advance at the speed of a snail as he tried to wiggle his way up bit by bit.

Bu Zhangkun pursed his lips tightly and his entire face turned red. Clearly, he had already given it his all. However, there was still a gap between him and the stone pillar. Although the distance was only less than ten meters, the pressure was unbeatable. It completely restrained the master with the final stage of the Golden Elixir realm.

At a glance, Mo Wen knew that with the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm, he could not just use brute force to fly up to the top of the stone pillar. Even he would not have the capabilities to. Perhaps an ancient martial art practitioner with the peak of the Golden Elixir realm would be able to do it. However, there was not a single one of them who was on that level.

Mo Wen did not care about those treasures on the stone pillars. In a flash, he had appeared beside Chen Wuhui. At the moment, Chen Wuhui was crazily trying to fight one of the rays of bright light. However, he was having no effect on it at all.

Without a second word, Mo Wen simply punched at the light. There was a huge roar and coupled with Chen Wuhui’s power, a huge hole was created in the light. With another punch, Mo Wen managed to completely shatter and disperse the light. On the coffee table beneath the light, there were a couple of maces on display. Above the maces, there was even the aura of spiritual energy radiating. It was none other than a low-grade spiritual weapon.
