Chapter 328 All the treasures are collected

Xu Luo first took out some Formation Plates and flags, setting up a Formation to prevent any commotion later that might be noticed by others.

However, most others had already set up Formations around themselves, precisely because they didn't want to be disturbed by others. Xu Luo doing this was also for the sake of being more cautious.

After setting up, Xu Luo took out the Talismans he had prepared, looked for a loose spot in the Restriction, and broke through the Restriction.

This process went quite smoothly, because in his previous life, it was the loosening of the Restriction here that was discovered by a strong person who received the Sea Spirit Baptism, allowing them to break through and enter.

After opening the Restriction, Xu Luo took out a defensive weapon and passed through the Restriction without hesitation.

Xu Luo immediately felt a sense of sudden clarity.

Because he had actually come from a deep-sea trench into a Small World. Here, there were majestic and grand halls. Although somewhat dilapidated, the luminous stones on the walls illuminated the place as if it were daytime.

Although Xu Luo hadn't come here in his previous life, he had heard too many people talk about it, so he knew some details.

"In the ancient era, the Human Race and the Demon Clan fought a great battle here. At that time, a strong Human Race expert discovered the sea abyss tree here, so they artificially built a Small World, using the sea abyss tree to Cultivate and heal. This also became a temporary healing spot."

"But by chance, a strong Demon Clan expert discovered this place, and a large group of Demon Clan experts came in hot pursuit."

"In the end, both sides' strong experts suffered heavy losses. In order to trap all the Demon Clan experts here, the Human Race experts closed the Restrictions and Formations, making it impossible to open from either the outside or the inside."

"It was only after tens of thousands of years of decay that a Restriction loosened, allowing entry here."

These thoughts flashed through Xu Luo's mind, and he began to search in the Small World.

There was only half an hour in total. Finding the loose spot in the Restriction and opening the Restriction took half of the time, so time was pressing. He had to get the items quickly and leave.

In the ancient era, there were more than twenty strong Human Race experts who died here while healing, basically all in the Saint Realm. Most of them were True Saints, but there were also Great Saints and Saint Kings.

They died here, and the treasures they carried were naturally also here.

There were also more than ten strong Demon Clan experts.

This place was just an artificially built Small World with incomplete heavenly Laws. At most, it could be used for healing. Cultivation here would even prevent Breakthroughs.

So even if they hadn't all died out at that time, they would eventually pass away due to the inability to break through and the exhaustion of their Lifespan.

Xu Luo came to the largest palace and walked in.

This palace was very large, but there wasn't much inside, except for prayer mats made of supreme-grade spirit stones and a high platform. On the platform were plaques with names written on them.

If Great Zhou Dynasty's Eldest Princess Jiang Hongye were here, she would definitely recognize these names, because these people were strong experts of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At that time, this hall was the temporary resting and healing place for the strong experts of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Xu Luo did not make any moves, but simply bowed towards the front.

The next moment.

A faint figure drifted out from the memorial tablets in front of the palace. This figure was like a candle in the wind, capable of dispersing at any moment, so blurry that their appearance was almost indistinguishable.

Xu Luo bowed again.

"Greetings, Senior."

The ethereal figure asked, "How much time has passed?"

"It has been tens of thousands of years. The Great Zhou Dynasty has already perished, splitting into eight Ancient Kingdoms," Xu Luo replied.

The ethereal figure flickered, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"I should have thought of it… Has the Eldest Princess awakened?"

Xu Luo replied, "The Eldest Princess has already awakened. She is traveling around the continents and will return once every few years to visit my Xu Family."

The ethereal figure let out a long sigh.

"Good…"

"I hope the Eldest Princess can achieve something in this Great Era of Strife. It's a pity this old man won't live to see that day."

"Since you have come, everything here is yours. This old man only hopes that you can take our memorial tablets and, if possible, give them to the Eldest Princess."

Xu Luo responded, "Please rest assured, Junior will certainly do so."

The ethereal figure did not speak further. Raising a hand, a large amount of inheritance drilled into Xu Luo's mind. Fortunately, he was prepared, otherwise he would have been stunned for at least a while.

These inheritances were not only from this strong expert, but also from other strong experts who died here.

Then, with a wave of the ethereal figure's hand, Storage Rings and some Demon Clan bones appeared before him.

After demon beasts reach a certain level of strength, even if they die, their bones will not decay and are simultaneously priceless.

All the treasures in this Small World had been gathered before his eyes.

After doing all this, the ethereal figure, extremely weak and having persisted for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, directly dissipated.

Xu Luo bowed again, collected the treasures before him and the memorial tablets on the platform, turned and left the hall, returning the way he came.

From the time he arrived here until he left, only about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed. This meant that there were still two incense sticks' worth of time left until the Sea Spirit Baptism ended.

This was only possible because Xu Luo, a regressor who knew everything from his previous life, had come. If it were someone else, they wouldn't know how long they would have to research and search here to find the treasure.

Xu Luo left the Small World and returned to the trench.

"How is it? Did anyone come?"

Xu Chen replied, "Everyone is cultivating diligently. No one should have noticed anything unusual here."

After all, there were only two hours, and time was precious. Wasting even a little time cultivating was a waste. No one was in the mood to bother with others.

Xu Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Because too many treasures were involved, he was afraid that someone would discover them and try to compete, causing various troubles.

Especially the forces in the Glittering Star Sea, every single one of them was very bold.

"Everything went smoothly, let's go," Xu Luo said.

They came to the entrance stone tablet. A few old men glanced at them and said nothing more.

After a while, people who had completed the Sea Spirit Baptism began to arrive one after another.

They all had joyful expressions, clearly having gained a lot. After all, this Sea Spirit Baptism was equivalent to many years of their cultivation.

But no one knew that among all the people present, Xu Luo had gained the most, and his gains were so great that these people couldn't even imagine them.

This was only possible because Xu Luo was a regressor who had lived for nearly a thousand years in his previous life. If it were someone else with a less stable mindset, they might have already been unable to help but laugh out loud by now.

When all thirty people had arrived, they prepared to leave.

At this point, it was clearly visible that the stone blocks on the sea abyss tree, which were previously as brilliant as gems, had now become dim.

This indicated that the sea abyss tree had been completely depleted and would only be able to undergo the next baptism after about another five hundred years.

The old man took out the bead again, opened the protective barrier, and prepared to lead everyone back to the shore.

The return journey was also smooth. They returned to the surface of the sea, which meant that this Flying Fish Beasts competition and Sea Spirit Baptism were completely over, and they could all go home.

However, just as everyone was preparing to leave, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended.
