Chapter 16 – Trespassing into the Treasure Pavilion 擅闯藏宝阁

Meng Xinghe was surrounded by the assassins of the Demon Sect. Although he fought with gritted teeth, he was gradually running out of strength. A Nascent Soul cultivator of the Demon Sect was about to deliver a fatal blow. Suddenly, a magnificent sword light descended from the sky, repelling the enemy!

Xinghe turned around and saw that the leader and the grand elder of the Longevity Sect had come to the rescue.

The leader shouted angrily, "Villain!" Then, with a wave of his sleeve, a sword qi containing the might of the Deity Transformation stage shot out, instantly dispersing the Demon Sect cultivators who were besieging Xinghe.

The grand elder frowned and swept his gaze towards the elder of the Pill Refining Peak in the distant chaotic battle. At a glance, he detected that demonic qi was leaking from the other party and said in a low voice, "There's something wrong with that 'elder of the Pill Refining Peak'. She's from the Demon Sect."

The leader of the Longevity Sect gave a cold snort and rushed directly towards the elder of the Pill Refining Peak. Seeing this, Song Muqing, who had disguised herself as the elder of the Pill Refining Peak, showed a charming sneer on her face. She dispelled her disguise and revealed her true identity, the leader of the Demon Sect.

"Leader of the Longevity Sect, you finally deigned to come out? I thought you were going to be a coward," Song Muqing said softly, her voice gentle but filled with killing intent.

The next second, the two Deity Transformation stage powerhouses clashed instantly. The surrounding space was torn apart, and the shockwaves swept in all directions. The grand elder also joined the battle and assisted the leader in besieging the leader of the Demon Sect. An earth-shattering battle broke out in an instant, and the aftershocks of the battle raged wildly, making the entire mountain of the Longevity Sect fall into chaos .

Lin Yuan, Lin Xuefei, Bai Moli, and Meng Xinghe temporarily gathered together and planned to find a safer place. However, at this moment, the ring on Lin Yuan's hand suddenly trembled faintly.

"Go to the Treasure Pavilion quickly! That thing is calling you!" The voice of the ring was low and urgent.

Lin Yuan was taken aback, "Now? But I... Isn't this adding to the chaos? The battle outside is still raging."

"There's no time to explain. This is the only chance. Go, or it will be too late for everything!" Jiuchong Ring urged him firmly.

Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and left the team amidst the chaos, running alone in the direction of the Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion was located in the core area of the Longevity Sect, surrounded by powerful formations and restrictions. Usually, this was a forbidden area that only those at the elder level or above could enter. However, at this moment, due to the chaos inside and outside of the mountain, the guards nearby were dispatched to support the battle, which gave Lin Yuan a chance to get close..

Lin Yuan stood outside the Treasure Pavilion, looking up at the towering pavilion, and was deeply shocked.

He took a few steps closer. As soon as he touched the entrance, the powerful barrier was immediately activated, knocking him back several steps. His face turned pale, and he murmured, "What a powerful barrier protecting the pavilion. I can't get in at all."

The voice of the Jiuchong Ring sounded at this moment, "Don't waste time. Try using your Golden Eyes."

Lin Yuan was taken aback and then activated his Golden Eyes. Through his Golden Eyes, he could vaguely see the operation trajectory and weak points of the barrier. But even so, he still couldn't break through this barrier.

Lin Yuan stood outside the barrier and scanned the inside of the Treasure Pavilion with his Golden Eyes. He suddenly saw a faint golden light flickering deep in the pavilion, as if it was responding to his presence.

"That is..." He was shocked in his heart.

The Jiuchong Ring said in a low voice, "The Tianhen Golden Wheel. It has already developed a certain degree of spirituality and sensed your presence. But it is protected by the barrier, and you can't directly touch it. Unless the barrier is temporarily weakened, you will never be able to get close to it."

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, "Then what should I do? I can't just wait here, can I?"

The Jiuchong Ring was silent for a moment and then said, "Wait. This battle will eventually spread to this place, and the barrier might be weakened for a moment. That's your only chance."

After hearing this, Lin Yuan had mixed feelings, both anxious and helpless. He could only temporarily hide near the Treasure Pavilion and quietly wait for the opportunity.

While Lin Yuan was waiting, the battle between the leader of the Longevity Sect and the leader of the Demon Sect in the main battlefield became more and more intense. The leader of the Demon Sect seemed to have been prepared in advance and actually took out an extremely powerful demonic weapon, forcing the leader and the grand elder to step back step by step. As the aftershocks of the battle spread, the protective barriers of the Longevity Sect also started to show cracks gradually.

Among them, the barrier of the Treasure Pavilion was also affected, flickering with faint ripples.

The voice of the Jiuchong Ring immediately sounded, "Now is the time. Rush in! Don't hesitate!"

Lin Yuan was shocked in his heart. He took a deep breath, used his Golden Eyes to find the weak point of the barrier, burst out with all his strength, and rushed into the Treasure Pavilion like an arrow leaving the bow. At the moment when the barrier was weak, he successfully broke through and entered the Treasure Pavilion.

After entering the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Yuan was immediately overwhelmed by the sight in front of him. The pavilion was filled with a dazzling array of magic treasures, high-grade spiritual medicines, and ancient books, but a golden roulette suspended in the center of the pavilion firmly caught his gaze.

That was exactly the Tianhen Golden Wheel!

The golden wheel rotated slowly, emitting a soft golden light, as if it had a life of its own, and it produced a certain resonance with Lin Yuan's Golden Eyes.

Lin Yuan slowly approached, and the Jiuchong Ring reminded him again, "Remember, you can't take it directly. You can only replicate its power. Don't make a mistake, or this trip will be in vain."

Lin Yuan nodded and began to replicate according to the guidance of the Jiuchong Ring. However, at this moment, a voice came from outside of the pavilion, "Who is trespassing into the Treasure Pavilion!"

Lin Yuan was shocked in his heart and looked up. He saw a figure approaching quickly. He didn't know whether the person coming was an enemy or a friend and thought to himself, "I haven't done anything yet, and I've been discovered? This luck is truly terrible. "

==================

孟星河被魔教的刺客包围,尽管他咬牙奋战,却逐渐力竭.一个魔教元婴修士正准备一击毙命,忽然,一道恢弘的剑光从天而降,将敌人震退!

星河回头一看,是长生派的掌门和大长老赶来救援.

掌门怒声喝道:"孽障!" 随即挥袖之间,一道蕴含化神之威的剑气激射而出,将围攻星河的魔教修士瞬间击溃.

大长老眉头紧皱,目光扫向远处混战中的丹峰长老.他一眼便察觉到对方魔气外泄,低声道:"那位 '丹峰长老' 有问题,她是魔教之人."

掌门冷哼一声,直冲丹峰长老而去.而伪装成丹峰长老的宋沐晴见状,脸上露出一丝妩媚的冷笑,毫不畏惧地散去伪装,显露出魔教教主的真容.

"长生掌门,终于舍得出来了?我还以为你要当缩头乌龟呢." 宋沐晴轻声道,语气温柔中透着杀意.

下一秒,两位化神强者瞬间交手,周围的空间都被撕裂,气浪横扫四方,大长老也加入战局,协助掌门围攻魔教教主.一场惊天动地的战斗瞬间爆发,战斗的余波疯狂肆虐,整个长生派山门各处陷入混乱.

林远和林雪霏,白茉莉,孟星河三人暂时聚到了一起,打算寻找更安全的地点.然而,就在此时,林远的戒指突然发出微弱的震颤.

"快去藏宝阁!那件东西在呼唤你!" 戒指的声音低沉而急促.

林远一愣:"现在?可我... 这不是添乱嘛,外面还打得热火朝天呢."

"没有时间解释,这是唯一的机会.去,否则一切都来不及了!" 九重戒不容置疑地催促道.

林远犹豫片刻,咬了咬牙,趁乱离开了队伍,独自朝藏宝阁的方向奔去.

藏宝阁位于长生派的核心区域,四周布满强大的阵法与禁制.平时,这里是长老级别以上的人才能进入的禁地.然而,此刻因山门内外的混乱,周围的守卫已经调去支援战斗,给了林远接近的机会.

林远站在藏宝阁外,抬头看着高耸的阁楼,内心震撼不已.

他走近几步,刚触碰到入口,强大的结界立刻激活,将他震退数步.他脸色一白,喃喃道:"好强的护阁结界,我根本进不去."

九重戒的声音在此刻响起:"别浪费时间,试着用你的金瞳."

林远一愣,随即启动了金瞳.透过他的金瞳,他可以隐约看到结界的运行轨迹与薄弱之处.但即使如此,他依然无法突破这道结界.

林远站在结界外,目光透过金瞳向藏宝阁内扫视.他突然看到一道微弱的金光在阁楼深处闪烁,似乎正在回应他的存在.

"那是..." 他心中一震.

九重戒低声说道:"天痕金轮,它已经初具灵性,感应到了你的存在.但它受结界保护,你无法直接接触.除非结界被暂时削弱,否则你永远无法靠近."

林远咬紧牙关:"那怎么办?总不能在这儿干等着吧."

九重戒沉默了一瞬,随即道:"等待.这场战斗终会波及到此地,结界或许会被削弱一瞬间.那是你唯一的机会."

林远听后,心情复杂,既焦急又无可奈何.他只能暂时隐匿在藏宝阁附近,静静等待时机.

就在林远等待的同时,主战场的掌门与魔教教主的战斗愈发激烈.魔教教主似乎早有准备,竟然祭出一件极其强大的魔器,逼得掌门和大长老步步退后.随着战斗余波的扩散,长生派的大阵和各处护派结界也开始逐渐出现裂痕.

其中,藏宝阁的结界也受到了影响,闪烁起微弱的涟漪.

九重戒的声音立刻响起:"就是现在,冲进去!别犹豫!"

林远心神一震,深吸一口气,催动金瞳找到结界的薄弱点,爆发出全身的力量,如离弦之箭般全力冲入藏宝阁.在结界微弱的那一瞬间,他成功突破,闯入了藏宝阁之中.

进入藏宝阁后,林远立刻被眼前的景象震撼得无以复加.琳琅满目的法宝,高级灵药,典籍摆满了整个阁楼,但他的目光被一件悬浮于阁楼中央的金色轮盘牢牢吸引.

那正是天痕金轮!

金轮缓缓旋转,散发着柔和的金光,仿佛有生命一般,与林远的金瞳产生了某种共鸣.

林远缓缓走近,九重戒再次提醒:"记住,你不能直接拿走它,只能复制它的力量.千万别搞错了,不然白跑一趟."

林远点了点头,按照九重戒的指引开始进行复制.然而,就在此时,一道威严的声音从阁楼外传来:"谁擅闯藏宝阁!"

林远心中一惊,抬头望去,只见一道身影正快步逼近.他不知道来人是敌是友,心里暗道:"我什么都还没做,就被发现了?这运气,简直了.难道是老天爷看我不顺眼?"
