Gold, so much gold, piled up like a mountain.

The abundance of gold and silver treasures dazzled everyone. Compared to these riches, the giant python nearby immediately seemed insignificant.

"Rama’s Remains." Seeing the figure sitting quietly in front of the giant gate, the old man of Tianchan couldn’t help blurting out, instantly drawing everyone’s attention. Their gazes shifted simultaneously toward that figure.

According to legend, Rama crossed the East Sea and mastered a Supreme Divine Skill on an isolated island beyond the sea.

After Rama’s death, rumors spread that his remains contained unparalleled inner breath, capable of regeneration and transformation. Even those with imperfections could complete themselves by obtaining Rama’s remains.

But the old man of Tianchan knew more details. It was not Rama’s remains that could complete the imperfections, but the Supreme Divine Skill that Rama cultivated.

The so-called unparalleled inner breath was merely caused by this Supreme Divine Skill. After cultivating this skill, even in death, the corpse could remain uncorrupted for decades.

Aside from this, the old man of Tianchan also knew that Rama rushed in his cultivation of this supreme skill, injuring his own foundation. In later cultivation, he went into a state of Qi deviation. To resolve this, he learned that the Nan Zhou Treasure contained a Foundation Establishment Pill. He sought this pill to solve his current dilemma and then completely disappeared.

Later, the matter of Rama’s remains somehow spread...

"Hiss hiss..."

The Profound Water Snake kept flicking its tongue, eyeing everyone, thinking they were in league with Chen Mo. There was a hint of anxiety in its snake eyes.

Chen Mo seized the chance to silence Ji Xi’er by pressing her mute acupoint, preventing her from speaking randomly.

The current situation was divided into three factions.

Chen Mo and his group were one faction.

The Profound Water Snake was another faction.

The newly arrived group led by the old man of Tianchan was the third faction.

They all watched each other warily, while the Profound Water Snake guarded against all other human beings except Ji Xi’er.

"Prince Zhen Nan, I only need Rama’s remains. If you give me those remains, I will leave immediately."

The old man of Tianchan came specifically for Rama’s remains. Seeing the remains before him, amidst the tense situation, he wanted to avoid more trouble and leave as soon as he obtained the remains.

"Amitabha, this treasure has a destiny with Buddhism. The royal family of Nan Zhou once received a relic from Buddhism. After Nan Zhou’s fall, this relic disappeared. I suspect it is within this Treasure Vault. Once Benefactor Chen allows me into the vault to retrieve the Buddhist relic, I will leave immediately."

After the old man of Tianchan spoke, Yuan Kong immediately followed with his words. However, he did not see that Jiang Ruoqing, upon seeing him, tightened her grip on her sword, with a subtle glint of murderous intent in her eyes.

Chang Wuming and the Poison King also stated what they needed.

Chen Mo did not respond but handed Ji Xi’er over to Xin’Er to ensure she followed him.

The Profound Water Snake saw Ji Xi’er being handed over to Wu Xin’Er, and its snake eyes immediately fixed on Xin’Er.

Upon seeing this, Wu Xin’Er quickly placed Tianwen across Ji Xi’er’s neck, preventing the Profound Water Snake from making any rash moves.

"Xin’Er, take her inside first," Chen Mo said softly.

Wu Xin’Er nodded and led Ji Xi’er toward the Treasure Vault.

"Prince Zhen Nan, have you made up your mind?" Seeing Chen Mo’s subtle actions, the old man of Tianchan became a bit anxious. I only want Rama’s remains, not competing with you for the Foundation Establishment Pill. Must it be like this?

But Chen Mo knew that human nature was greedy. With the Treasure Vault right in front of them, who knew if, after obtaining one item, they wouldn’t desire another?

The most crucial thing was that Chen Mo didn’t want them to know about the Top Grade Magical Artifact.

Chen Mo held the Heaven-Burning Furnace, pondering that after Xin’Er entered the Treasure Vault, he would explosively act, eliminating the old man of Tianchan or Yuan Kong first to intimidate the crowd.

However, at that moment, a streak of light shot from the back of the old man of Tianchan’s group, striking the Profound Water Snake’s wound. Already on the verge of eruption, the Profound Water Snake, in pain, lashed its massive tail directly at the group of Tianchan.

"Charge, the treasure is mine."

Simultaneously, a loud shout emerged from the crowd, and several people rushed toward the Treasure Vault, causing chaos to ensue.

The old man of Tianchan dodged the lashing snake tail and leapt into the air, heading toward Rama’s remains at a terrifying speed. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Quick, into the Treasure Vault..."

Seeing the chaos, Chen Mo didn’t hesitate for a second. Like raging thunder, he led Wu Xin’Er and Ji Xi’er into the Treasure Vault, with Jiang Ruoqing and Old He following closely behind.

Seeing its master enter the Treasure Vault, the Profound Water Snake quickly came to its senses from its rage and abandoned the others, swimming toward the Treasure Vault.

But its body was too large. Upon entering the vault, it blocked most of the entrance, and the martial arts experts from Jiangnan, seeing the giant python obstructing their path, raised their swords and sabers, slashing at the python.

If it were before, the Profound Water Snake could disregard these attacks. But now, its body was marred by wounds caused by the flames of the Heaven-Burning Furnace. These attacks slashed at its wounds, driving it into a frenzy. Having half its body inside the vault, it immediately shrank back out, opening its blood-red mouth to swallow the attackers.

Once inside the Treasure Vault, Chen Mo immediately activated the Ancient Heavy Pupils to search for the Top Grade Magical Artifact.

Ji Xi’er, when previously restrained, had mentioned to him that the Top Grade Magical Artifact was a spear.

There were countless spears within the vault, but as a Top Grade Magical Artifact, it was surely distinct from the others.

Sure enough, at the end of the warehouse, on a stone stand, a spear was suspended.

Indeed, it was floating upright, surrounded by Thunder Serpents, its entire body pitch black, yet with blue Runes glowing on its shaft, making it stand out.

Among those who entered the warehouse, besides Chen Mo and his group, were a few martial arts experts from the Jianghu. But facing the dazzling treasures, they gulped, seeing that Chen Mo didn’t act against them, and hurriedly began looting.

After all, who starts a fight without first grabbing the treasure?

"Ruoqing, Old He, be careful. Xin’Er, keep her with you."

Ruoqing and Old He were First Grade Martial Artists; Chen Mo just needed to give them a few reminders. Xin’Er was less powerful, requiring him to protect her a bit more.

Wu Xin’Er nodded, keeping Ji Xi’er in check behind Chen Mo.

Chen Mo approached the spear, reaching out to grab it. But before he could get close, within half a foot of the spear, a lightning bolt shot out from it, striking Chen Mo and sending him flying.
