Chapter 231 - Cultivation Sect
Chapter 231: Cultivation Sect
After entering the multi-colored crystal ball, he saw a sea of green.
As far as the eye could see, the endless mountain range was an incredible masterpiece. It was like he was looking at the back of a huge dragon lying horizontally, with an indescribable majesty.
In the middle of the mountain range was a long and winding river. The river water surged like a roaring dragon, displaying the might of the mountains and rivers.
The sky was green, like a flawless piece of jade. It was crystal clear. Its beauty couldn’t be described with words.
The air was filled with spiritual energy. Even though it wasn’t as dense as the spiritual energy in the sect, a single breath was enough to make one feel refreshed and energized.
Ordinary people could easily live up to 200 years if they stayed here.
However, although the environment was like paradise, it lacked vitality.
This place was extremely quiet, just like those uninhabited primitive forests.
“It can’t be that there’s really no one here, right?” Qin Chuan looked around and didn’t discover anything.
Thus, he spread out his divine consciousness.
His enormous consciousness was like a spider web, quickly enveloping the space inside the multi-colored crystal ball.
In an instant, every corner of the multi-colored crystal ball was reflected in his mind.
Just as he had guessed, there was indeed no one here, but there was a huge building complex.
This building complex was located at the peak of the mountain. There were pavilions, terraces, and towers, as well as a huge gate that shot into the clouds. It was a cultivation sect.
Judging from the number of buildings and the area they occupied, it was much larger than the system’s sect.
If there were people, it could accommodate tens of thousands of people for cultivation.
From this, one could imagine how prosperous the cultivation era was.
At this moment, Qin Chuan’s heart was filled with excitement, but at the same time, he had even more questions.
Since there was a cultivation sect here, there must be cultivators.
But now, there was no one at all.
Are they all hiding? Qin Chuan stroked his chin as he contemplated, thinking that this was a possibility.
To be honest, it had been more than a year and a half since he had begun breaking this crystal ball. So it was inevitable that he would feel scared after causing such a huge commotion.
They might have gone into hiding if they thought Qin Chuan was an enemy.
Thus, Qin Chuan immediately flew over.
This space wasn’t very large, and Qin Chuan soon arrived.
Qin Chuan stood in the air above the cultivation sect. He did not land immediately.
Cultivation sects all had protective arrays to prevent foreign enemies from invading.
If the people had really gone into hiding, the protection array would most likely be activated.
If he were to rush over rashly, he would definitely be attacked by the array formation.
Hence, Qin Chuan activated the Aura Examination Technique and observed the sect below.
With the circulation of the Aura Examination Technique, Qin Chuan grew even more confused.
The area below was extremely clean, without any traces of an array formation.
This was a little strange.
Then I guess I just have to go down and investigate.
Qin Chuan landed on the ground, but he set up multiple layers of True Qi barriers around himself to be on the safe side.
Qin Chuan came to this sect.
He looked around as he walked. Even though his divine consciousness had already enveloped this place, he still felt at ease only after seeing it with his own eyes.
“Is anyone here?” Qin Chuan shouted.
A strong voice echoed in the vast sect.
But there was no response.
Qin Chuan had a grave expression on his face. Every time he passed by a room, he would open the door and look inside, hoping to find something.
But there was nothing inside.
After looking through most of the rooms, he found nothing.
Qin Chuan no longer hoped that there would be anyone around. Instead, he would treat this place as an uninhabited region!
Since there is no one around, I will start searching for treasures.
After all, I’ve spent more than a year and a half to get here. So I have to get something.
Because of this, Qin Chuan set his sights on a tall tower within the sect.
This was the Depository of Scriptures, an extremely important place for all cultivation sects.
When he pushed open the door, he was greeted by rows of shelves with books on them. He knew without thinking that they were immortal cultivation techniques.
Qin Chuan casually picked up a book and read its contents. It was a water-elemental spell.
Judging from the might and difficulty, it was probably only a stage-one technique, the lowest level.
Naturally, Qin Chuan would not be interested in such a technique.
However, it would definitely be useful to the disciples in the system sect.
Therefore, he stored all the books on the shelf in the system space and instantly emptied the space.
Walking out of the Depository of Scriptures, Qin Chuan felt extremely comfortable.
After that, he went to the Depository of Elixirs, Depository of Spirit Stones, and Depository of Magical Artifacts.
To his surprise, there were many spirit pills, spirit stones, and magical artifacts stored in these three places, and it was sufficient for his three thousand disciples in the sect.
Qin Chuan didn’t look at them seriously. He simply put everything into the system space.
He would do a stock take again when he had time.
After plundering the loot, Qin Chuan appeared in the largest main hall of the sect.
This main hall was much grander than the one in the system sect.
If possible, Qin Chuan wanted to move this main hall back to his sect.
Qin Chuan continued to search around, looking for useful items.
At this moment, he noticed that there was a jade gourd on the purple-gold Nine Dragons Throne in the hall.
This caught Qin Chuan’s attention.
Why put it on a chair and not anywhere else.
Wasn’t it meant to be discovered?
“Since that’s the case, I’d like to see what sort of tricks you can play.”
Qin Chuan used his True Qi to condense a hand and pulled out the stopper in the jade gourd.
Swoosh!
A soul flew out from the mouth of the jade gourd.
Qin Chuan became extremely vigilant.
The soul was very blurry at first, but it eventually turned into an old woman.
The old woman sized up Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan did the same.
Although the old lady in front of him was only a soul, the suppression that she emitted extraordinary pressure. It made Qin Chuan feel immense pressure.
From this, it could be seen that this old woman’s cultivation realm was extremely high when she was alive.
However, she was just a soul. He didn’t need to be so afraid.
After a moment of silence,
The old woman said, “Were you the one who broke my sect’s barrier?”
Qin Chuan nodded. “Yes, it was me.”
When the old woman heard this, she couldn’t help but reveal an expression of disbelief.
“You’re only at the seventh class of Golden Core, yet you broke through it. Your cultivation technique must be extremely powerful,” the old lady said.
Qin Chuan smiled humbly. “To tell you the truth, I persisted for more than a year and a half before finally breaking the barrier.”
“You don’t have to be so humble.
“This barrier can only be broken by those at the Soul Splitting Realm. Perhaps too much time has passed and the strength of the barrier has weakened, but it is not something that Golden Core cultivators can break.”
After a pause, the old woman asked, “What era is it now?”
“This is the modern era, also known as the era of science and technology. It has been billions of years since your era.”
Science and technology???
The old woman was stunned. She was very puzzled by this term.
