“Today's Intelligence has been refreshed!”
Swoosh!
A brilliant golden light flared!
Several pieces of intelligence poured down from the air like a waterfall, appearing before Shen Xiuhan's eyes.
【Intelligence 1: Four hundred and thirty-seven miles to the south of this location, one can enter "Ape God Peak," one of the four main lineages of the Diaohai Pavilion.】
【Within the island lie the abandoned residences of the inner court disciples, deacons, and core disciples of Ape God Peak. These contain 217 high-grade precious artifacts, 17 spiritual embryos, 91 Yuan Stones, and nearly a thousand Tier Two and Tier Three treasures and Precious Herbs.】
In the next instant!
Countless fine golden dots surged into his vision.
The dense spots of light, like stars on a summer night, gathered in the far south, merging into a brilliant sea of light.
“Hiss... My goodness!”
Shen Xiuhan had never seen such a spectacle before. The sight made his heart skip a few beats.
“So many treasures... I doubt even emptying out the entire Star-Plucking Sect would yield this much.”
“And this is just the accumulation of a single Ape God Peak!”
“The Diaohai Pavilion has four main lineages... The Blessed Land is vast, with many scattered islands!”
‘If I could search this entire Blessed Land... just how terrifying would the harvest be?’
“...What a pity!”
Shen Xiuhan suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, let out a breath, and shook his head with a sigh:
“It's too far!”
Four hundred and thirty-seven miles!
With his current cultivation, even if he traveled at full speed, it would still take him most of the day!
Furthermore...
Upon entering the Blessed Land, the forces from all sides had been teleported to different locations.
Right now, someone might have already landed near Ape God Peak.
By the time Shen Xiuhan got there, any opportunity would likely have already been snatched up.
“No rush,” Shen Xiuhan thought as he withdrew his gaze from the golden sea.
“I should focus on taking the benefits closest to me first!”
“Especially the inheritance grounds related to the cultivation techniques I practice!”
“Those are the top priority!”
With another thought, Shen Xiuhan looked at the next piece of intelligence.
【Intelligence 2: Ape God Island mostly contains abandoned residences of ordinary inner court disciples, deacons, and core disciples. The core area is the solitary peak in the center of the island, "Ape God Peak"!】
【Ape God Peak is protected by 《Ape Howl Six Ding Deep Abyss Array》. Inside lie the cave dwellings of the Peak Master, the first core disciple, and the elders. Entry requires an identity token or a main lineage keepsake.】
【Within the array, there are also three Tier Four Precious Herbs, one low-grade spiritual artifact, and one inheritance ritual vessel.】
Shen Xiuhan's gaze fell on the final line, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
【The inheritance ritual vessel, 《Diaohai Pure Heart Bell》, was personally forged by the Diaohai Patriarch, Xiao Feng.】
【It has two functions: first, it can utilize the status of the Blessed Land to cultivate a Child of Destiny; second, when activated by a Child of Destiny, it allows them to shatter the void and flee thousands of miles away.】
‘Shatter the void and flee... thousands of miles away?!’
Shen Xiuhan's heart shook slightly, and realization dawned in his eyes:
“No wonder!”
‘No wonder Xiao Wu said this crisis wasn't a dead end, and that if he survived, he would reap immense benefits...’
‘So this is where his confidence lies!’
‘I previously used the intelligence system to investigate Xiao Wu's background and confirmed that he possesses the Ape God Peak divine ability, 『Divine Ape Combat Treading Emptiness Mystic Chapter』!’
‘Since he received the inheritance of Ape God Peak, it is only logical that he would hold an identity token to enter 《Ape Howl Six Ding Deep Abyss Array》!’
‘With this grand array as backing and a life-saving treasure that can shatter the void and flee, his near-certain death trap suddenly gains a glimmer of hope.’
Shen Xiuhan exhaled deeply, the stifling feeling in his chest finally easing a bit.
Xiao Wu was a man of immense righteousness, and Shen Xiuhan naturally did not want to see him captured and refined into a human pill.
Now, since Xiao Wu had a chance of escape, Shen Xiuhan could put his mind at ease for the moment and focus on his own matters.
But another doubt quickly surfaced in his mind.
‘Judging by the layout of Ape God Peak, the core areas of the four main lineages of the Diaohai Pavilion probably all have similar grand arrays.’
‘To enter, one needs the identity token of a Peak Master, first core disciple, or elder.’
‘I obviously don't have such a token, so that leaves only the so-called main lineage keepsakes...’
‘The question is, what are these keepsakes?’
【Intelligence 3: There are three types of keepsakes for the four main lineages of the Diaohai Blessed Land: Peak Master seals, inheritance spiritual artifacts, and divine ability plaques...】
“Divine ability... plaques?”
Hearing this, Shen Xiuhan's expression froze. Suddenly realizing something, he flipped his hand, and two circular plaques instantly appeared in his palm.
The discs were neither stone nor jade, their surfaces completely translucent, lustrous, and without a single blemish.
Intricate and fluid cloud patterns were carved on the surface, shimmering faintly in the light as if they were alive.
These were precisely the jade plaques recording the two divine abilities, 『Divine General Muxu Upper Radiance Scripture』 and 『Mystic Dark Ice Fiend Sea-Overturning Scripture』!
One had come from the hiding place of Gao Fu, the former leader of the Golden Dragon Gang.
The other had been obtained from the storage bag of the previous Child of Destiny, Xiao Yan, beneath the cold pool on Dongyi Island.
“Could it be... that these are the divine ability plaques?”
Clutching the two jade plaques, Shen Xiuhan's heart hammered in his chest as he thought:
“It has to be!”
“In that case... doesn't that mean I have two main lineage keepsakes in my possession?”
“Can I use these two divine ability plaques to enter and explore the core inheritances of Mystic Dark Peak and Divine General Peak?”
At this thought, Shen Xiuhan felt a surge of excitement. His heart burning with anticipation, he eagerly looked at the remaining intelligence.
【Intelligence 4: One hundred and eight miles to the northwest of this location, one can enter "Divine General Peak," one of the four main lineages of the Diaohai Pavilion. Within the island lie the abandoned residences of the inner court disciples, deacons, and core disciples, containing a certain number of precious artifacts, spiritual embryos, and Yuan Stones...】
【Within the inner array lies a spiritual artifact named 《Nine Yang Xun Wind Fan》, which was the treasure of Gao Qiguang, the fifth-generation successor of Divine General Peak.】
【There is one Tier Four Precious Herb, 《Wanling Flower》, which is a life-preserving miracle. Even if someone is on the brink of death, consuming this flower will keep the injured person alive for forty-nine shichen.】
【There is a jar of Tier Four spiritual wine, 《Elixir Fire Wine》, brewed from eighty-one types of Tier Three spirit herbs. It is of immense benefit to those cultivating a fire-type "divine ability seed."】
“Wow!”
Shen Xiuhan's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.
It was truly a case of getting exactly what he wished for, like someone handing him a pillow just as he was getting sleepy.
His gaze was like lightning as he quickly swept over the remaining pieces of intelligence.
They were all about the cave dwellings of disciples on the surrounding islands.
The treasures hidden inside were nothing more than cultivation techniques, precious artifacts, and Tier Two or Tier Three spiritual items and spirit herbs.
Although these were decent, they seemed rather ordinary in this treasure-laden Diaohai Blessed Land, and few of them could truly tempt him.
“These things can wait. Once I've finished my main business here, if I still have time, it won't be too late to come back for them.”
Shen Xiuhan paused briefly, then withdrew his gaze:
“Assuming they're still there by then, of course.”
‘For now, I must focus on the four main lineages!’
Shen Xiuhan, making up his mind, flicked his wrist and put the two divine ability plaques back into his storage bag.
“Let's take a trip to Divine General Peak first.”
Swoosh!
In the next breath, Shen Xiuhan moved abruptly. Channeling his force, he executed the 《Swift Swan, Swimming Dragon》 movement technique.
Like a swallow skimming over the sea, he dashed toward the northwest at high speed!
All around him was a vast, endless ocean.
The surface of the sea was as flat as a boundless mirror, with not a single reef in sight.
Looking out, there was not a single figure to be seen.
It was as if he were the only person left between heaven and earth.
Shen Xiuhan flew for a moment, and belatedly realized that there was something unusual about this place.
