Chapter 872: Chapter 771: Strange Lamp (Part 2)

But the path I chose is different from theirs.

While they are still integrating with the Heaven and Earth Laws, I have already begun condensing the Law Origin of my own.

During the journey, Shen Han pondered many things and calculated the future paths he might take.

Each step forward requires careful consideration, hoping that his decisions are not wrong.

After more than a day’s journey, Shen Han was near the location mentioned by the inn servant.

Although still fifty miles away, the distant location was already being blocked by the major sects.

For ordinary people, this is the closest they can get.

Though far away, the periphery was still crowded with many people.

When the Secret Treasure emerges, earth-shaking Abnormal Phenomena appear frequently.

People linger here, hoping to get lucky.

If some unprecedented Abnormal Phenomenon occurs, perhaps they might gain some benefits here.

Shen Han stood among the crowd, listening to the conversations around him.

In the absence of tasks, cultivators mostly practice in solitude, which indeed can be quite dull.

Those who are talkative, spoke happily.

From what they said, four major sects came together this time for exploration.

They had been here less than ten days, marking the beginning of their efforts.

From their words, it seems there hadn’t been any gains yet.

As Shen Han listened to the idle chatter around him, two young individuals dressed in splendid attire stepped on a peculiar Magical Artifact.

The two flew straight towards the core area.

The guards who previously sternly blocked everyone not only refrained from stopping them, but even bowed in greeting.

Seeing their backs, all were envious.

Yet no one complained about unfairness or shouted "why them."

"Don’t stare, those are the talented siblings of this generation from the Shadow Sword Palace. Naturally, the major sects won’t stop them.

But if we attempt it, they would just knock our heads off."

After lingering for a few two-hours, Shen Han began to circle around the periphery.

Every few miles, there were guards from major sects stationed, each stepping on the void.

Though they were mere ordinary guards, Shen Han felt they were stronger than Illusion Realm cultivators.

It’s hard to imagine the strength of those who could be regarded as powerful in the major sects.

Having circled once around, Shen Han began searching for an opportunity.

The Immortal Realm guards seemed to focus only on the aura of nearby Loose Cultivators, relying on it for vigilance.

But as someone trained in the old system, Shen Han could easily conceal his aura.

Finding a somewhat hidden spot, Shen Han moved from the ground towards the interior.

Using the dense woods, he easily crossed the first barrier.

Moving deeper, there was a second barrier guarded.

Compared to the first, the strength of this second barrier’s guards was higher, yet they were much more relaxed.

Shen Han even found this second barrier easier to break through.

Walking towards the central area, though he hadn’t seen anyone yet, he could feel numerous powerful auras.

The ordinary cultivators of the Immortal Realm at this moment would be quite challenging to face.

Let alone the elites present, who were difficult to confront by time travelers.

Every step had to be careful; Shen Han knew he couldn’t make the slightest mistake.

Continuing forward, traversing over a mountain range.

Standing atop the peak, he could see the entirety.

Before him laid a scene resembling a vast lake drained of water.

And the elites were all mulling over something in the dry lakebed.

Upon reaching this distance, Shen Han could better feel the aura of these elites.

Still formidable, making people avoid provoking them.

Yet the aura of these elites seemed unstable, fluctuating.

For Shen Han, it was the first time encountering such a situation, as if their bodies were influenced by something.

Finding a secretive spot, Shen Han hid completely and carefully observed.

As night fell, the elites spent the entire night tinkering in the middle, yet by morning, they had gained nothing.

Seemingly anticipating this, by dawn, the elite sect members withdrew, allowing the younger ones to continue.

Predictably, the major sects seemed to be trusting to luck.

The servant at the inn said this was their fourth visit.

Clearly, those people were unable to manage the object before them.

With the sect elites stumped, they could only hope the younger ones might succeed.

At times, indeed some miraculous results occur.

Coincidentally, some of the young ones have exceptionally bright talents.

What if they decipher the mystery others fail to resolve?

This could indeed be a method.

But seeing their approach, Shen Han realized two things.

Firstly, even the sect elites had exhausted their solutions.

They were resorting to unorthodox approaches for resolution.

Secondly, whatever lay here was certainly invaluable.

Despite three failed attempts, the major sects endlessly plotted methods, even resorting to unconventional techniques to obtain this item.

The attention given by these major sects sparked Shen Han’s interest further.

Even if he could only observe, this might be his chance to acquire a note.

If so highly regarded, it must be an orange note.

Thinking about it, Shen Han felt more anticipation yet was more cautious than before.

These elites returned time after time without establishing a camp, continuously researching here.

There must be reasons requiring them to temporarily withdraw.

Understanding these aspects, Shen Han became more patient in waiting.

Time passed, as when the old failed, they called the young.

From a hidden spot, Shen Han meticulously observed, watching several young individuals arrive.

They must be the outstanding talents within the major sects, their aptitude surely remarkable.

But these young ones achieved no results, almost returning empty-handed.

Shen Han watched from afar, noting some youngsters seemed injured during their attempts.

Blood trails at their lips, quickly escorted away.

For a whole two hours, Shen Han patiently waited.

The aura of the major sect elites seemed increasingly unstable, fluctuating.

After such a long time without results, the elites seemed anxious.

After night fell, the major sect elites appeared to finally give up.

A group of them looked grim, leaving eventually.

Departing under the night, probably seeking some dignity, each one an elite slipping away like a lost dog was indeed embarrassing.

As if promoting the departure of these elites, the forest animals finally dared to venture into the area.

Shen Han patiently awaited.

Not knowing the disposition of these elites, caution was wise.

If they returned midway, even upon sensing their aura, detection was possible.

Having waited so long, rushing was unnecessary.

After one whole day with no return, Shen Han finally emerged from his hiding spot.

Slowly approaching.

His gaze fell upon the center, curious to see what had stalled everyone.

Shen Han approached step by step, finding a small cylindrical pit in the center.

Within the pit, a lamp stood.

It appeared slightly rusty, resembling a relic.

Seeing this lamp, Shen Han’s expression grew more solemn.

Could the major sect elites have visited four times all for this lamp?

Yet the lamp remained in place; what secrets does it hold...

His mind concentrated, focusing on the lamp.

Shen Han wanted to discern its note, hoping for some insight.

From night till day, the lamp showed no note.

During the hesitation, Shen Han tried to touch the lamp.

Upon contact, he could distinctly feel the lamp’s texture, not an Illusion.

Attempting to lift it, he realized the lamp was immovably heavy.

Shen Han unleashed his Second Grade Immortal Realm strength, yet the lamp remained motionless.

No wonder it was left here, utterly irresolvable.

Considering, Shen Han attempted using Power of Laws.

This time, in just a moment, his Laws were devoured instantly.

The backlash made Shen Han spit a mouthful of fresh blood.
