Chapter 918 A Third Calamity Heavenly Supreme Dao Warrior’s Cave Dwelling
It was to be expected that Bao Bao and the others could not remain calm. This cave dwelling they discovered accidentally was a legacy left by a Third Calamity Heavenly Supreme Dao warrior from the immemorial stage.
During the immemorial period, since all Heavenly Supreme Dao elite warriors partic.i.p.ated in the salvation war to seal the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier, everyone made a mutual promise to bury everything inside the G.o.d Discarding Maze before their departure.
This was for the worst scenario. If their belongings were put inside the G.o.d Discarding Maze, even if the Tian Xuan Land was breached one day, this maze would more or less be a heritage for the Tian Xuan Land. The heritage left by the Heavenly Supreme Dao warriors was the only hope for the revival of the Tian Xuan Land.
Therefore, everyone was obsessed with exploring the G.o.d Discarding Maze. For one, this maze was the remainder of a war zone where the immemorial G.o.ds battled the foreign tribes. On the other hand, it was also because the legacies of the G.o.ds were hidden inside this maze.
Of course, there was another significant reason. During the immemorial war, although the bodies of the first group of Supreme Dao that invaded the Tian Xuan Land were destroyed, their divine souls were yet to be shattered. Those souls were sealed inside this maze.
With all the above reasons, the opening of the G.o.d Discarding Maze every few thousand years caused everyone in the Tian Xuan Land to flock like birds.
For this cave dwelling discovered by Bao Bao, even across the immemorial G.o.ds era it was something exceptional.
In the immemorial era, the most powerful warrior in the Tian Xuan Land was only at the Fifth Calamity of the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage. A Third Calamity Heavenly Supreme Dao warrior would have been considered a top tier elite warrior.
In the history of the Tian Xuan Land, such a figure could definitely rank in the top twenty.
Indeed, it"s incredibly rare to encounter such a cave dwelling at this level in the Tenth Maze. It could possibly be the highest ranked cave remains since the opening of the G.o.d Discarding Door.
Qin Yunran and Lone were on the inside and Bao Bao defended on the opening of the prohibition. He pulled the Yin Yang Stretching Rod and was ready to defend.
Bao Bao and the others had also been respectful of Qin Wushuang"s orders up to this point. Along the way, they had not tried to fight over anything intentionally even though they were met with many opportunities. They had no part in the drama and had acted with an extremely low profile.
Sometimes, destiny was strange. Even if you did not try to pursue anything, a fortuitous opportunity could still drop on your head.
For this cave dwelling, it was something Bao Bao and the others had met by coincidence.
Since they were not prepared for it and due to their excessive happiness, they forgot to make a necessary disguise and startled nearby elite warriors of the Dark Mysterious Clan.
The elite warriors of the Dark Mysterious Clan informed Kong Mingzi, the paramount elite warrior of the clan, who ordered them to make a move.
Fortunately, Bao Bao was vigilant and blocked the entrance first when he sensed something was wrong. After he seized the initiative, despite how Kong Mingzi possessed an overbearing advantage, he would not dare to plunge in recklessly.
Bao Bao said that it was fine for the Dark Mysterious Clan to enter the cave, he would just activate all the defense mechanisms inside: everyone would die together and no one would get anything.
Although Kong Mingzi was powerful, he was also helpless when he met someone as mischievous as Bao Bao. He could not really make his way in through force, could he? This monkey had a pungent personality, he would stick to his word.
Being a paramount elite warrior, he could not get overturned by this divine beast. It would not be worth it.
Kong Mingzi would not question the defense mechanisms from a Third Calamity Heavenly Supreme Dao warrior. If they were all activated, he could be killed as easily as an ant can be squashed.
Therefore, although he felt his pride of being a paramount elite warrior was challenged, he still said with patience, with an enticing and somewhat threatening tone, "Gold monkey, I know you have the bloodline of the immemorial monkey. You have a bright future. You should not let your emotions affect your decisions."
Bao Bao said lazily, "You are the ones who are letting emotions influence your decisions. We already found this cave, first come, first serve. There is no reason for the Dark Mysterious Clan to stick your foot in. Besides, between the Ninth to the Twelfth stages of the G.o.d Discarding Maze, there must be more caves left by Heavenly Supreme Dao warriors. You are not showing initiative as you want to spoil someone else"s work. I am afraid it"s not in the rules, right?"
In terms of cave dwellings left by Heavenly Supreme Dao warriors, there were at least two hundred in the G.o.d Discarding Maze. All of them were scattered between the Ninth to the Twelfth stages. In the first eight stages, at most there would only be treasures left by those at the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. The later four stages were the core areas.
However, despite the numbers, it was not that easy to excavate them. It did not mean that these cave dwellings were there for people to pick it up.
You would need opportunity and luck to discover a cave dwelling like this.
Up to this point, only four or five had been discovered. Most of them were at the First Calamity of the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage. Up to now, not a single cave dwelling with Heavenly Supreme Dao weapons had appeared.
Even in the immemorial period, the Tian Xuan Land had a lack of resources. Unless you were exceptional, it was difficult for those at the First Calamity of the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage to craft their own Heavenly Supreme Dao weapons. Firstly, it was due to a lack of resources to search for those materials. Secondly, they lacked powerful crafting skills.
This time, when the Third Calamity Heavenly Supreme Dao cave dwelling appeared, naturally the Dark Mysterious Clan was extremely stirred. Across the entire G.o.d Discarding Maze, no more than twenty would be there. In these four short months, perhaps there won"t be another opportunity like this one.
Of course, Kong Mingzi was a cunning man. How could he pa.s.s on this great opportunity?
Although Bao Bao"s words were reasonable, how could he be fooled by his words? With a faint smile, he said, "Golden Monkey, there is always a rule to finding a cave dwelling in this G.o.d Discarding Maze. Those who see it get their share. Although you found it first, we were just one step late. If you have the skill to take it as yours, of course I will have nothing to say. However, do you think you can take it all?"
"Ha ha, I cannot take it all. Yet I cannot let you have the advantage. In the worst case, we will just drag it out. I will drag it until the end of the four months. Let"s see who is the more vicious one!" Bao Bao was resolute and decisive as he did not speak with any leeway.
When the four month limit arrives, everyone must leave. Or else, once the G.o.d Discarding Door closes, they would die.
Kong Mingzi"s expression sank slightly. Being the paramount totem elite warrior, no one dared to offend him head on. Naturally, Bao Bao"s action caused him to feel abnormally frustrated.
If he was not restraining his fear for the Heavenly Supreme Dao defenses, most likely Kong Mingzi would have already plunged in to peel Bao Bao"s skin and remove his tendons.
"Head Chief, it will not work for us to drag this out," one of the elders of the Dark Mysterious Clan said with a low voice.
How could Kong Mingzi not be aware of dragging it on?
With a light snort, he said, "Golden Monkey, I have a suggestion, would you like to hear it?"
"Tell me." Bao Bao deliberately delayed the time.
"For this Third Calamity Heavenly Supreme Dao cave dwelling, there are certainly many goods. I have a good deal of knowledge pertaining to mechanisms and defenses, we should study them together. Let"s split the goods we get evenly. Honestly, for the goods from the Third Calamity Heavenly Supreme Dao, you cannot take them all. To put it nicely, even if I leave and I just slightly spread the news, can you take the goods and get out of here alive?"
This was a problem. Bao Bao bit his lips lightly and he said after a moment of consideration, "I discovered it first, I will get at least seventy percent!"
When Kong Mingzi saw that he let loose, he was feeling overjoyed inwardly. It was a step in the right direction that he was willing to negotiate. If he could go in, how could he still have authority regarding who gets what?
"Seventh percent? You are too greedy." Kong Mingzi intentionally appeared unhappy. "My Dark Mysterious Clan is a totem clan, we hold a much higher position than the Qin Clan. If you get seventy, and we get thirty, this does not fit the rules."
Bao Bao cried, "In the G.o.d Discarding Maze, no one talks about rules. Do not feel that the totem clan is so special!"
"You monkey, such an abrasive tone." One of the Dark Mysterious Clan elders berated.
Bao Bao smacked his tongue. "I am only speaking the truth. If the totem clan is truly exceptional, with the foreign tribes eying us covetously, how come there have been no big movement from any of you?"
Kong Mingzi said, "Gold Monkey, let"s not bicker foolishly. I will take one more step back, you get sixty and we get forty. This is the bottom-line! Or else, we will expose the news even if we risk giving it all up. It will get robbed and plundered, and at the end of it all, no one will get anything."
Before Bao Bao spoke, a burst of light laughter came from afar.
"Kong Mingzi friend, then we should break up. Who do you think you are threatening?"
Upon hearing this sound, instantly Bao Bao was overjoyed. "Boss! You are finally here!"
Kong Mingzi"s face went cold. "Qin Wushuang?"
Qin Wushuang did not disguise himself as he drifted outside the cave dwelling. When he saw the desolate terrain in the surrounding environment, he realized it was an underground serene valley that was extremely desolate and hidden. Indeed, this place was not easy to discover.
"Ha ha, Daoist Kong Mingzi, the Qin Clan found this cave dwelling first. I advise you to not hold much hope."
Kong Mingzi narrowed his eyes into a line. "Qin Wushuang, last time when you came to our Extreme North Snow Zone, although we did not treat you well, we did hold back. For today"s matter, are you truly not going to hold back?"
"Daoist Kong Mingzi, smart people do not talk in riddles. Last time, if you truly left some leeway, today I will not not be this stern. Unfortunately, besides looting a burning house, you did not leave me any leeway. If you had not sent useless elite warriors last time, most likely I would have fallen in that journey to the Extreme North Snow Zone!"
Qin Wushuang was not a narrow-minded person. However, it was difficult for him to harbor good feelings for the Dark Mysterious Clan! After all, back at the Dark Mysterious City, if the elite warriors of the Dark Mysterious Clan hadn"t given permission, that Ling Sheng of the Heavenly Mountain Sect would not have acted so outrageously.
Kong Mingzi let out a mad roar. "Qin Wushuang, I showed you some respect, you really are making it appear in the open? My Dark Mysterious Clan will take this cave dwelling for sure. I cannot do anything to that stinky monkey inside. However, you are on the outside, let"s see where you are going! If I take you down, that monkey will have to give in."
It seemed as if Qin Wushuang already knew the att.i.tude of this Kong Mingzi. With a laugh, he mocked, "Kong Mingzi, if you would just show your face, wouldn"t it be much better? Why pretend to be a gentleman?"
Kong Mingzi laughed instead of showing anger. "Such a cleaver and eloquent kid, I heard you are also the inheritor of the immemorial formation. That"s good, on the outside, you have Daoist Li Buyi covering your back, in this G.o.d Discarding Maze, let me see who else will protect you!"
Before Kong Mingzi"s voice dropped, another burst of laughter sounded from afar.
"Daoist Kong Mingzi, it seems you still have room for improvement for your temper."
As soon as this voice went out, the expression of Kong Mingzi changed instantly. He sneered coldly, "Since when has the Qin Clan worn the same pants as the Karakorum Immortal Clan? Could it be that your Qin Clan is betraying the Xuan Yuan Mound? Ha ha, this is rather interesting news, let me ask Daoist Xuan Yuan Yang what happened as he has taught such an undisciplined subordinate!"
