Free Web NovelChapter 2095: Chapter 2095: The Supreme Treasure That Can Slip Away!
However, what surprised Su Chen and the others was that the murky water of the deep pool became clearer the deeper they went. Although the change wasn’t obvious, they could already see many things at the bottom of the pool.
Su Chen glanced around and realized that there weren’t many people left.
However, the person in the red robe from the Moon Worship Sect, Yue Xiu, and Jing Yuan were still there, along with a few others.
The others also had impressive cultivation strength, and even if they hadn’t reached the Dominion Realm, they were not far behind.
Any one of them would have a remarkable reputation in the Cangxuan Territory.
At this moment, the atmosphere was different from the chaotic battle earlier; the frenzied killing had subsided. On one hand, this was because there were fewer people left, and all of them were not to be underestimated. On the other hand, the improved visibility allowed everyone to see their surroundings clearly.
For the moment, it seemed somewhat calmer.
Of course, everyone understood that this calm was just the prelude to a storm; a major battle could break out at any moment!
After all, almost everyone was searching for traces of the Treasure, though the deep pool was vast and deep, and none of the others had found anything yet.
There was one exception, though, and that was Su Chen.
He had just received a hint from Zi Mei, and his gaze fell on some aquatic plants.
These aquatic plants did not grow on the bottom of the pool but in the middle, thriving and tall, even taller than an average person.
"Is it inside there?"
Su Chen asked Zi Mei for confirmation once again.
Zi Mei contemplated for a moment and replied:
"There’s an eighty to ninety percent chance!"
Upon hearing Zi Mei’s answer, Su Chen immediately felt confident; Zi Mei wouldn’t say such a thing without certainty.
However, Su Chen needed to think of a way to retrieve it quietly.
Although he wasn’t afraid of the others, it was better to avoid trouble if possible.
At this moment, the others glanced briefly at the aquatic plants and continued downward, as most believed that the Supreme Treasure was more likely at the bottom of the pool.
A few people considered searching the aquatic plants more thoroughly but had to give up when they saw the others diving deeper.
After all, whoever reached it first would have the upper hand.
Su Chen did not show any unusual behavior, continuing his descent like the others.
The deeper they went, the larger the space underneath became, especially with the strong gravitational force, which was even more pronounced.
If weaker individuals were here, the water pressure alone would crush their bodies!
Fortunately, those who remained had extraordinary cultivation strength and could withstand it.
Of course, for Su Chen, it was relatively easier, as he was close to breaking through the Fifth Layer of the Calm Spirit Body Technique.
Continuing downward for several hundred meters, they caught a faint glimpse of the bottom, featuring more complex terrain and even lusher vegetation.
Their eyes burned with excitement, as if the Supreme Treasure was beckoning to them!
Although the intense water pressure made them somewhat uncomfortable at that moment, such discomfort was insignificant; they all continued diving with all their might.
Finally, after some time, they reached the bottom, one by one.
Another curious aspect of this deep pool was that the deeper they went, the larger it became, so upon reaching the bottom, it was quite expansive.
The group seemed to split the area among themselves and began their search.
Su Chen headed to a spot near the edge and pretended to search as well.
As time passed, Su Chen planned to leave. He slowly, quietly swam upward.
Once he was a good distance away, he increased his speed, as the faster he went, the more noise he would make.
"I really want to know, what exactly is that Supreme Treasure!"
The closer he got to the middle area of the pool, the more excited Su Chen became.
"To be honest, not just you, I’m also very curious!"
Zi Mei said.
As she spoke, she continued observing and sensing because the uneasy feeling had not only persisted but intensified.
Despite this, she did not advise Su Chen to back down for safety, as that wasn’t her character, nor was it Su Chen’s.
Finally, Su Chen reached the aquatic plants in the middle, feeling a sense of excitement as he looked at them.
He knew the Supreme Treasure was likely hidden among these lush aquatic plants.
"About five hundred meters to the right front."
Zi Mei’s timely voice sounded in his ear.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen moved over, waiting for Zi Mei’s next instruction, when suddenly he heard her exclaim:
"Oh no, the Supreme Treasure has escaped!"
Su Chen was stunned!
The Supreme Treasure escaped?!
How could it escape?!
It’s not a person or an animal with legs to run away!
Seeing Su Chen’s bewildered look, Zi Mei knew he didn’t know much about such situations, so she explained:
"Many Divine Objects have acquired sentience, so they can sense people or other lives, and instinctively flee when strangers approach."
Divine Object?
Acquired sentience?
From a logical standpoint, he understood Zi Mei’s explanation, but since he had never encountered this before, it still felt a bit unbelievable.
"It seems this Supreme Treasure is even more valuable than I thought. Boy, you must obtain it!"
Truthfully, Zi Mei also found this situation very surprising, but beneath the surprise was enormous, unprecedented excitement!
This was a Divine Level Artifact!
Although she had speculated about the level of this Treasure, she never dreamed it could possibly, even likely, be Divine Level!
She was so excited she could hardly contain herself!
But amidst her excitement, she retained some rationality and considered critical questions!
For example, she was puzzled as to why such a Divine Object only had a single Dominion Realm Demon Beast as its guardian?!
This only intensified the sense of unease!
Additionally, what puzzled her even more was why such a Divine Object appeared in the Yunxiao Continent?!
Even in the vast Star Region, Divine Level Treasures are extremely rare, with only a handful in total.
Why would one appear here?!
Although the Yunxiao Continent was vastly stronger than Earth, in the vastness of the Star Sea, it was still insignificant, akin to an ant.
Logically, Divine Level Treasures should never appear here!
Such a realm is simply unworthy!
Yet, one has very likely appeared!
