Chapter 1639: The Jiang Family Treasure Vault
Library of Heaven's Path · 第1639章 蒋家藏宝库
"I don't want to marry that Zhang Xuan! All he does is show off and put people down. He even called off the engagement in public, making the little princess miserable. He has no compassion for the fairer sex at all..."
Jiang Feifei snorted.
"..."
Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
Me, show off and put people down?
I've already been keeping a low profile, haven't I? If I hadn't, I could have oppressed everyone in the Saint Son Hall until they couldn't breathe!
And... it's not like I want to marry you...
Dream on!
"Then marry Luo Tianya. According to what I know, this Luo Tianya is not only over forty and ugly, but he also seems to already have a dao partner!" Jiang Fangyou said.
"..." Zhang Xuan's face turned black.
Ugly? Your whole family is ugly!
My disguised Luo Tianya, though not handsome, is still presentable, alright...
"I won't marry anyone!" Hearing that this man even had a wife, Jiang Feifei shook her head vigorously.
"If you don't want to marry, then cultivate well and strive to break through to True Solution as soon as possible. Otherwise, for the sake of the family, I'll have no choice..." Seeing that his threat had achieved its goal, Jiang Fangyou said.
"I understand!"
Although she knew her father was just scaring her, as a member of the family, if a girl couldn't demonstrate her value, her greatest use was indeed marriage alliances!
"To avoid marrying Zhang Xuan, I have to give it my all..." Jiang Feifei gritted her teeth.
"..." Zhang Xuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
What did I do to deserve this... She's training like mad to avoid marrying me... Is my reputation really that bad?
"Go on!"
Jiang Fangyou said no more.
With a look of determination, Jiang Feifei strode forward, used a special token to undo the seal, and stepped into the nearby treasure vault.
"It's a ninth-level peak [Returning Heaven Hidden Dragon Array]!" Zhang Xuan quickly realized after looking over.
A dragon can be large or small, ascend or hide; when large, it stirs clouds and mists; when small, it conceals its form; when ascending, it soars through the cosmos; when hiding, it lurks within the waves.
Because of this, a true hidden dragon cannot be detected even by the most powerful experts. This array, named accordingly, carries that meaning.
Sealed with an array of this level, the Jiang family's treasure vault must contain many good things.
"Comprehending the Soul True Solution can only be done by oneself. I hope you can walk a path no one has walked before... Otherwise, you'll really have to marry Zhang Xuan!"
Watching his daughter enter, Jiang Fangyou shook his head, turned, and left.
"Damn it!"
To be caught in the crossfire again for no reason, Zhang Xuan was thoroughly frustrated.
"Forget it. I'll go in and take a look. If there are any treasures, I'll collect them first... After all, they've betrayed humanity; anything excessive is deserved!"
Pushing aside his displeasure, Zhang Xuan walked inside.
Not knowing the array, he might have needed the library's help, but he had already discerned that with his Insightful Eye and understanding of arrays, entering was no longer a problem.
Spinning like a top, he turned several times and in a moment arrived at the door where Jiang Feifei had just entered. Without hesitation, he stepped inside.
Once inside, he used spatial power to seal the area around him, making himself undetectable.
The girl had just entered; he didn't want to run into her face-to-face.
Although the Jiang family had betrayed humanity, as the head of the Zhang family, sneaking into someone else's treasure vault would damage his reputation if it got out.
The first floor of the treasure vault, unlike the Luo family's, was not filled with various treasures but was a spacious hall. In the center stood a jade tablet tens of meters in length and width.
Carved from some unknown jade, it was smooth, neat, crystal clear, and exuded an aura of spiritual pressure.
Jiang Feifei, who had just entered, stood less than ten meters from the jade tablet, her delicate body trembling and sweat beading on her forehead.
On the jade tablet was carved a huge character, giving off an eerie feeling. Zhang Xuan glanced at it and immediately felt his soul drawn in, followed by a strong oppressive force striking him directly, as if to crush him to dust.
"It's a Soul Shaman's character..."
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Others might not recognize these runes, but he had received the complete inheritance of the Soul Shaman and knew them well—they were the Soul Shaman's special character, "Soul"!
It could greatly affect the soul.
"It writes the method for comprehending the Soul True Solution... It should have been left by the Jiang family ancestors!" Zhang Xuan realized.
No wonder Jiang Fangyou had his daughter come here to comprehend. The character before him not only affected the soul and exerted strong pressure but also helped one understand the Soul True Solution, similar to the "Sword" character written on the wall of the Zhang family.
"She can take her time comprehending here. I'll go upstairs first..."
The Jiang family's books on the Soul True Solution had already been condensed into a Heavenly Dao technique. He hadn't cultivated it earlier because he was in a hurry to advance to Soul Shaman... This jade tablet was a great pressure for others, but for him, it was nothing.
Besides, his purpose here was not to cultivate but to find treasures; he had no time to waste.
The second floor was completely different from the first, filled with various shelves and countless treasures.
"Indeed, not less than the Luo family's..."
Zhang Xuan chuckled, his eyes gleaming.
Since he was here, he wouldn't be polite.
"Collect!"
Without caring how precious they were, he opened his hand wide, and his spirit swept through the shelves in the room.
Whoosh!
All the treasures on that floor were collected into his storage ring.
He continued to the third floor.
Under normal circumstances, as a master teacher, even if he was tempted by these treasures, he wouldn't take them all. After all, master teachers had their dignity and pride—sneaking a look at books, a scholar's affair, couldn't be called stealing...
But taking someone else's treasures was a completely different matter!
It was despised by master teachers.
However, stealing from those who had betrayed humanity was entirely different, like taking from the Heterodox tribe—all for the greater good.
The treasures on the third floor were clearly more valuable than those on the second. Zhang Xuan swept through them and continued upward.
Fourth floor, fifth floor, sixth floor...
Soon, like the library, he reached the top, the ninth floor.
Compared to the previous rooms, this one was empty, with only a stone platform on which floated a seal about half a foot wide.
The seal hung upside down in the air; it was unclear what it was, but it gave off a tremendous soul pressure, making it impossible to approach.
"What is this?"
Feeling the pressure from the seal, Zhang Xuan frowned.
His soul had already reached the Great Saint First Layer, Indestructible Divine Body Great Perfection. Under normal circumstances, ordinary soul pressure wouldn't affect him at all, but this one made him feel short of breath. What kind of treasure was this?
"Hmm? There are words..."
Circling the stone platform, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but stop.
