Chapter 2879
At the break of dawn,
Kai and his companions, with the tile jar in tow, set out on their quest to uncover the treasure!
Interestingly, the clan chief didn’t see them off!
As they stepped beyond the Ancient Body Refining Clan’s grounds, Wajang unexpectedly produced the Demon Whip from his cloak and said, “Mr. Chen, the clan chief understands that our journey will likely bring us face to face with many demon cultivators, so he asked me to give you this Demon Whip ……”
Kai Arcana grasped the tile jar in one hand while holding the magical whip in the other, momentarily stunned. He recognized the immense value of the whip; if it truly was an immortal weapon, it would be invaluable!
Now, the clan chief trusted him enough to entrust this powerful weapon, and Kai felt deeply moved by that faith!
Receiving the whip filled him with renewed confidence in their treasure hunt. He believed that if they succeeded, the Ancient Body Refining Clan would flourish even more!
Kai had no intention of keeping the techniques and treasures for himself; he planned to return everything to the Ancient Body Refining Clan, as they were rightfully theirs!
He only wanted the Ice Pill Pill, desiring nothing more!
“Kai, what’s this?”
Liu Ruyan asked with curiosity, glancing at the Demon Draw Whip!
“This whip is the bane of demon cultivators. With it, you need not fear encountering one,” he explained.
Kai offered a faint smile as he stowed away the Demon Draw Whip!
The group trekked across a vast white snow plain, surrounded by towering ice mountains and deep, treacherous valleys, making for a harsh environment!
A single misstep could lead them into ice caves that plunged thousands of meters deep—an encounter that would spell doom even for those at the pinnacle of the Harmony Realm!
With the treasure map as their guide, Kai and his friends sought their fortune in the marked locations, aware that others had likely already arrived there!
However, no one possessed the precise coordinates of the treasure, so they could only gamble on their luck!
After walking for several hours, Tile Jar looked ahead and said, “Mr. Chen, it seems we’ll need to take a detour. Up ahead lies Death Canyon, teeming with fierce beasts that no one can pass.”
“Death Canyon?” Kai frowned, pondering the implications!
How could such a desolate place harbor countless fierce beasts, given their need for growth and resources?
If so many beasts thrived in this canyon, there had to be ample resources within to sustain them!
Yet, what those resources might be, Kai had no idea!
It was common for fierce beasts to guard treasures!
These beasts weren’t intentionally guarding treasures; instead, they thrived on the aura emitted by the treasures, evolving into spirit beasts over time that protected their bounty!
“I’m not sure. Previous records indicated that there weren’t many fierce beasts in this canyon before. It seems there’s been a sudden influx of them,” Tile Tank explained.
“Some have attempted to explore the canyon, but none returned, leading to its grim reputation. We generally avoid this area.”
Tile Tank continued to elaborate!
“I sense that there’s something valuable within this canyon. Let’s investigate ……”
Kai declared, setting off toward the canyon!
Seeing this, the others followed closely behind!
Before long, they reached the canyon’s mouth, where steep cliffs loomed on either side, their surfaces glistening with ice, impossibly smooth!
The canyon itself was only a dozen feet wide, and standing at its entrance, they could feel the fierce beasts’ presence emanating from within!
“You all stay here. I’ll scout ahead!”
Kai instructed, masking his aura as he leaped silently into the air!
