Needle.
Alex peered into the doorway, only to find an expansive empty space, about a thousand meters in size, void of any objects or treasures.
"WHAT THE FUCK??? WHICH SECT DOESN'T HAVE TREASURES IN ACTUAL PLACE WHERE THEY STORE TRE---" Alex's frustration mounted as he looked around, bewildered by the apparent absence of anything valuable. His annoyance was interrupted by a glint on the ground—a needle.
"Wtf i keep finding needles all around." Alex muttered as he picked up the needle, his eyes then shifting to another door a thousand meters away. This one was larger, glistening gold, and adorned with even more intricate carvings.
"Who constructs a hallway for their treasury?" Alex complained, eyeing the needle he held. He sighed, but it was soon replaced by shock as a prompt appeared before him.
--
[Congratulations! You have found a divine treasure. Do you wish to use it as your Foundation?]
--
Alex dropped the needle after he recoiled at the unexpected offer. "Fuck what needle? hell no i am not choosing needle as my foundation, i am waiting for the Divine Strong weapons like fucking sword not some fucking needle." He vehemently dismissed the notion, adamant about waiting for a more powerful weapon for his strength breakthrough.
However, as he turned to leave, the thought lingered. "It's still a divine weapon... I can't just leave it behind." His indecision was palpable as he retrieved the needle once more.
"Alright, let's see what you can do." Alex made his way to the enormous treasure room.
After scanning the surroundings for traps and finding none, he approached a colossal, awe-inspiring object.
"This must weigh at least a thousand tons. I hope my [Mountain Shatter Fist (10 Mountains) Max] can break it."
Alex prepared himself and unleashed his technique.
"[Mountain Shatter Fist (10 Mountains) Max]!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The hall shook, but to Alex's dismay, a barrier materialized in front of the door, dissipating his attack.
"Damn it. Okay, time to figure out how to break this barrier." Alex examined the obstacle, lacking knowledge about formations but determined to overcome it.

Outside the room, at the upper pavilion.
"Can I offer you something, Elder Chang?" Yan Feng, sweat rolling down his brow, tried to alleviate the tense atmosphere.
Old Chang, lounging with a drink in hand and feet propped up, casually declined. "No need. We're here to discuss your use of the sect's name," he remarked nonchalantly, all the while eager to discover which sect was conspiring against them. he knew about this trap and he knew they would have more backup plans but he didn't care, Old Chang Wanted to find out which ant decided to plot against them.
Yan Feng attempted to explain himself, "You see—"
Suddenly, Yan Feng stood up, his focus directed downward.
"Something on the floor, Feng?" Old Chang mocked.
Yan Feng's face paled as he detected someone going in their treasury he said "I am sorry for this Grand Elder Chang but some rat infiltrated our treasury. i will come back soon if you excuse me" He tried to get away but...
"Fang... are you perhaps trying to be disrespectful?" Elder Chang's voice was cold. but in his mind he laughed "(GOOD ONE DISCIPLE, GO AHEAD AND CLEAN THIS SECT, I WILL KEEP HIM HERE AS YOU ENJOY.)" He praised Alex as he didn't went towards contribution points and he decided to go towards something he could actually use.
Yan Feng was feeling all the preassure right now, he sat down and said "O... O... O... course not..." He smiled.
he called someone in his mind with telepathy. answered. "(Elder Li, are you there?)" he called his Grand Elder Li.
"(Yes, Sect Master Feng.)" A telepathic connection formed in Yan Feng's mind.
Feng's anxiety was palpable. as he sighed in relief as Elder Li was free of some insects "(An intruder is causing trouble in the treasury. Get rid of him. Ensure no one sees you.)"
"(Of course, Sect Master. Proceed with confidence. I'll eliminate the intruder and, if necessary, secure the treasures. if the plan somehow fails i will take the treasures and make sure. Our sect's history will remain intact.)"
"(Alright Do exactly what i told you and that as well)"
Yan Feng sighed in relief, but he looked at Old Chang and decided to talk, he was the biggest problem he had to make sure to take care of before out of here.
Satisfied with their exchange, Yan Feng resumed speaking to Old Chang, "Apologies for the interruption. Let me explain why we have taken the name of your sect."
This mental conversation transpired in mere seconds.

BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!
Alex's frustration grew as he attempted to breach the door. His full power proved ineffective; not even a crack marred the surface.
"Maybe I should just leave. What's the point? i will get more treasuresxin the future." Alex mused before remembering the needle he'd found earlier. As he turned to depart...
"It's still a divine weapon, after all. I can't just abandon it." With the needle in hand, Alex decided to test its capabilities.
"Let's see what you can do."
Approaching the treasure room's massive door, he aimed the needle and released his energy.
PZZZZZSTTTTT!!!!!
A resounding BANG echoed through the room. Alex's eyes widened as he stared at the needle's handiwork—a hole in the wall. He repeated the experiment multiple times, his exhilaration growing with each attempt.
The wall's solid exterior had been penetrated by the needle, proving its extraordinary might. Alex couldn't contain his excitement, but he had another test in mind.
"Can it break through formations?"
Alex activated the needle's power once more.
PZZZZZSTTTTT!!!!!
CRACK...
Alex's joy knew no bounds. He successfully shattered the forcefield. He was about to celebrate his achievement and leave when...
"Where do you think you're going, little ant?"
A voice rumbled, sending shivers down Alex's spine. An imposing figure emerged from the shadows, a burly old man with white hair and blue eyes, his presence overwhelming.
Staring at Alex from the darkness.
