Chapter 1375 Treasure
“Where are we going? This is like a maze,” Jared exclaimed. “Just follow me,” came Flaxseed’s answer. He then pulled out a palm-sized geomantic compass and allowed a drop of his blood to fall onto it.
At once, the geomantic compass began spinning wildly. Its pointer soon stopped and indicated a direction. Seeing that, Flaxseed went in the direction the geomantic compass indicated.
Without hesitation, Jared went after him closely and released his spiritual sense to search the area. He refused to put his guard down. After passing through six or seven caves, they finally arrived at a square. Jared’s eyes narrowed at the sight.
There was an entrance right ahead with a restrictive energy that stopped them from advancing. Something glinted across Flaxseed’s eyes when he spotted the entrance. In a low voice, he muttered, “This should be it.”
“We found it?” Jared exclaimed excitedly.
Flaxseed nodded. “This should be the Eclipse structure.”
Hearing that, Jared balled up his fists. He could barely tamp down his enthusiasm.
“Come, let’s head in!”
Jared was elated to find such a tomb.
He did not know what magical item they would find inside or what was lying in wait for them. He also had no idea if it was dangerous.
It was impossible for such a tomb to have no restrictions.
However, the treasures inside were definitely better than the Verdant Ganoderma.
Flaxseed bobbed his head and stepped forward while reminding Jared to stay behind him instead of wandering around.
Inside the stone cave, Flaxseed put his hands behind his back. Calmly, he started examining the structure. Indeed, this was the Seven Stars Eclipse. The final structure was Eclipse.
It was a majestic stone cave with carved beams and painted rafters. There were also some immortal statues that they did not recognize.
The rows of immortal statues went all the way to the top of the structure.
Ninety-nine jade steps led up to a white marble throne on top.
The place was otherwise empty.
The throne was protected by a strong restrictive energy. Thus, ordinary people could not go up the stairs.
The path leading to the throne did not seem accessible to ordinary people, too.
After glancing around the place, Jared asked, “Is this it? There isn’t anything here. Where are the treasures?” His voice was tinged with disappointment.
Flaxseed’s eyes widened in disbelief as he gazed at the throne.
“The Seven Stars Eclipse forms a tomb of an immortal. There must be a treasure on top of the throne!” he declared. His voice was trembling from anticipation.
As if he had lost his mind, Flaxseed beamed and ran toward the throne.
He had just placed one foot on the stairs when his body trembled. It felt like a horrifying burst of energy was heading toward him.
Flaxseed’s heart sank as he quickly whipped out a charm and drew something on it.
“Breeze Charm!”
After sticking the charm on his body, he promptly turned as light as air. The enormous pressure had disappeared.
Flaxseed hurried up the stairs. He had just taken a few steps when the pressure rendered him unmoving again.
Flaxseed did not expect to be forced to get to his knees. A crack then appeared on the stairs.
The charm on Flaxseed’s body burst into flames and was burned to ashes.
At once, Flaxseed could not even raise his head from the enormous pressure.
Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and got to his feet. He then forced himself to take another step forward.
Right after he took one step, the terrifying power attacked him again. Flaxseed could not regain his balance and was sent flying out, resulting in his body crashing to the ground.
Fortunately, he did not go too far. Flaxseed spewed out a mouthful of blood from the impact of the attack.
