Chapter 1056 - Question About the Treasury

 While Phantom Rain and the rest were clinging to life, Chen Xiaobei took the opportunity to move past the Xiuhcoatl horde.

He took out the Spirit Cage and released Qie Loulan.

"We've crossed over, hurry, bring me to the treasury!"

 "How… How did you…"

Qie Loulan did not expect Chen Xiaobei to survive through that.

 "Snap out of it! There's no time to explain! We need to move now!" Chen Xiaobei urged.

 "Bro Bei, don't you worry! As the saying goes, 'those who survive a catastrophe are bound to have good fortune later on'. I'll bring you to the treasury now!" Qie Loulan assured as it flew, "I believe that the Xiuhcoatl King did not replace the treasury. Everything inside belongs to my Bro Bei!"

 "Let's hope that's the case…" Chen Xiaobei felt hopeful but also a little bit uneasy.

The Xiuhcoatl King really thought like a human now, and its behavior was becoming very similar to a human's.

Once a beast possessed the character and thinking, it was no longer a beast but a demon!

All these years, this Xiuhcoatl King had acquired scary cultivation and became an entity that was similar to a demon!

Chen Xiaobei could not help but suspect that it had already harvested all the Spiritual Stones in the treasury.

There was only one way to replace out the answer: he would have to replace out himself.

Right after that, Chen Xiaobei followed Qie Loulan into the deeper part of the dimension.

 "This place is pretty big! How did you replace this place?" Chen Xiaobei asked as they were running.

 "I did not just replace this place. I created it!" Qie Loulan said, "That time, by chance, I got my hands on a blueprint to create a dimension like this and a Dimension Crystal that fell from space! I used these two items, and invested a large number of resources to create this space that is completely independent of earth! Only when you have the Dark Purple Crystal Token and Teleportation Formation, could you enter this place."

Chen Xiaobei looked at him quizzically. "Wait, I don't understand it… The Teleportation Formation is on earth. Why would you say it like it's separate?"

 "How should I explain this…" Qie Loulan thought for a while and said, "Take this, for example, if one day, the earth exploded and turns into space dust, this dimension will not be affected at all! Everything will remain as it is! The entrance of the Teleportation Formation may float about space but you could enter as you please as long as you have the Dark Obsidian Crystal Token!"

 "Wow! That's incredible!"

Chen Xiaobei was impressed.

He thought that he should create a space just like this—it was the perfect secret hiding place!

He could protect all his friends and family in here. Every one of them would be safe even it world were to end!

Then, he would figure out how to make fertilized soil, inexhaustible water source, grow some plants and farm a forest of First Love Peaches.

A space like that would be like paradise!

"Bro Bei if you are interested to create one, I have the Dimension Formation blueprint inside my treasury! But the Dimension Crystal is not from earth. It would be very difficult to get. On top of that, building a formation will require a lot of resources and Spiritual Stones." Qie Loulan said proudly, "That time, I spent so much energy and effort to complete it!"

"I am very interested!" Chen Xiaobei nodded. "But I have one concern. If this dimension is completely independent, then how did the Xiuhcoatl get in?"

 "That…" Qie Loulan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either. When I was attacked, my spirit was badly injured and I fell into a deep sleep… I still haven't figured out how it came in."

 "It's not that simple…" Chen Xiaobei's face darkened. "We underestimated our enemies… Who knows, the treasury might already have been emptied out."

 "No… No way…"

Qie Loulan gulped. His jovial demeanor was replaced with tension. He then started to move faster without Chen Xiaobei rushing him.

After a while, they arrived at their destination.

It was a rocky mountain that stretched for miles, covered in gray rocks. It was completely bare and there was no marking. It was an excellent hiding place for a treasury. No ordinary person would be able to replace the entrance.

When Chen Xiaobei and Qie Loulan neared the entrance, they saw what they had dreaded!

The entrance of the treasury was supposed to be just a small camouflaged hole in the rocks. Only one person could enter at a time.

But now, the hole was as big as a tunnel, large enough for a train to go through.

 "Bro Bei… You were right… The treasury was not secure…"

QIe Loulan looked devastated.

He understood that Chen Xiaobei had high expectations of this treasury.

He might as well have poured a bucket of cold water on Chen Xiaobei.

However, Chen Xiaobei was neither disappointed nor mad. He did not throw a tantrum just because of the treasure was lost.

He was, instead, calm and level-headed. "It's alright. No need to get upset over something we've already expected. Let's go in and take a look."

 "Go… Go in?"

 Qie Loulan looked terrified.

 "Don't worry. The Xiuhcoatl King has already left its nest! It's safe!" Chen Xiaobei said, leading the way.

 "That's no it… Bro Bei, the Xiuhcoatl King found the treasury. There won't be anything inside for us. Why don't we take this opportunity to run?" Qie Loulan stammered. "If the Xiuhcoatl King kills Phantom Rain and the others, it will return and we won't be able to escape!"

 "Have you gone mad?" Chen Xiaobei pointed at the hole and said, "That year, when it attacked you, was it this big?"

 "No…" Qie Loulan said, "It was as big as its offspring now!"

"That's it!" Chen Xiaobei said, "If it had already cleared the treasury, why would it come back? Why would it stay and not leave already?"

 "You mean…" Qie Loulan's eyes widened with realization.

Chen Xiaobei said, "My guess is that it was guarding something important!"
