Following that road, the team regrouped and saw Feng Yuan. The leader of the archaeological team couldn’t help but ask,
"Was it you who deciphered the chanisms here just now?"
"More or less, I’d say. The chanisms here use a strategy without a core defense, so I can only make a safe passage token for you within the rules. Here, take it. If you lose it, I won’t bother making another one." Feng Yuan tossed the passage token to the leader, yawning as he spoke. Expanding his divine sense to gather information is still sowhat taxing for him at present. Although the other party doesn’t know this, he is well aware that it’s impossible to keep bothering Feng Yuan, so he carefully stored the passage token and couldn’t help but ask,
"Is this road the normal path to leave?"
"Definitely not, but until Agunas finds the internal keys, this is all you can research. By the way, the token is only effective on the Road of Judgnt; it’s completely useless for other areas, so pay attention and be careful not to trigger other strange chanisms when you’re researching." As he casually spoke, Feng Yuan thought of sothing important to instruct. If they recklessly trigger other chanisms within the Rock Peak Treasury, he wouldn’t dare say what might happen, since he can only interfere with the Road of Judgnt.
Veronia curiously looked at Feng Yuan and asked puzzledly,
"Speaking of which, how did you obtain this passage token? I rember the keys to the Rock Peak Treasury are not in the form of tokens."
"Of course, I used the thod of focusing on the flow of energy along the core, observing the entire structure, and creating it based on the internal operational rules. But here’s the issue: Outside of the already operational parts, other areas won’t receive energy from the core while inactive, so I don’t really know the situation in other areas." With a shrug, Feng Yuan said helplessly, thinking that while he could continue penetrating using other thods, he simply lacks the patience and interest to do so, after all, it’s not just his own matter, there’s no need to expend that much effort.
"I see, no wonder you seem a bit out of spirits,"
Veronia said thoughtfully, observing Feng Yuan. Before, she found it strange why he seed suddenly despondent, but now she understood the reason.
The road wasn’t long, as the internal space of the Rock Peak Treasury can change at any ti. Walking through the door, they found Agunas waiting outside. Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said,
"I’ll leave the rest to you."
As he spoke, Feng Yuan transford into the form of a Little Husky, lay on Big Cat’s head, and directly closed his eyes to rest. There was no choice, this operation consud a significant amount of his energy.
Agunas looked at Feng Yuan puzzled but said nothing more, knowing the other party wouldn’t fool around when it cos to serious matters, though it wasn’t clear exactly what had happened.
After learning from Veronia about what occurred in the Rock Peak Treasury, Agunas waved its tail and said,
"I see, but regarding the keys, it might be troubleso. Currently, I can track three of them outside of Great Xia’s borders; we might need to personally retrieve these three keys."
"Are they in human hands?"
Rembering sothing, Veronia asked, shaking her head; Agunas said,
"Not exactly, most of them are in odd places: so in abandoned houses, so as burial objects, and others are scattered in the wild; it’s quite troubleso."
"I’m afraid we’ll have to rely on you,"
Veronia said with a mischievous smile, looking at Agunas. Her World of Mirrors isn’t enough for her to easily traverse space, although she can quickly reach other regions, it’s not as convenient as for Agunas and Gitalien.
"This matter..."
"Perhaps, let them help?"
Veronia turned her head to look at the Divine Beasts allied with Great Xia and said, Agunas sighed and said after waving its tail,
"I’ll see if Gitalien is available, but the keys within Great Xia need to be collected by yourselves."
Saying this, Agunas left a piece of paper recording the information with the archaeologist team leader and then departed. Though there aren’t many keys outside the borders, they are all in peculiar places, and Agunas, after all, isn’t Gitalien; it cannot accurately open a Space Gate in places it hasn’t personally visited.
Due to the treasure vault requiring keys to unlock, the related investigative work had to pause. However, fortunately, there are still many locations waiting for exploration in this city. Compared to the treasure vault, the ruins of this city harbor many more flaws.
Even though the archaeological team was unfamiliar with Kastantos, after the experience with the Rock Peak Treasury, they could ascertain that Tianpan Nation, which built this city, did not possess the perfected technology that was later held by the Golden Feather Dynasty.
However, just as Feng Yuan couldn’t understand before, they are also puzzled as to why Tianpan Nation didn’t obtain complete data from Hu ErMash Sea like the Golden Feather Dynasty did.
Research on those images is still ongoing, but due to the language barrier, they can’t discern what the images are conveying linguistically.
Agunas, along with Gitalien, collected the keys scattered outside Great Xia in the Divine Land Region, while the keys inside, though Agunas had already written down their locations, couldn’t be retrieved imdiately.
So keys are lost within ruins; others are in desolate places; and of course, a couple are held by individuals. Retrieving these keys requires ti and effort.
Nonetheless, the halting of progress within the Rock Peak Treasury does not affect exploration of other areas. This ti, students from Maomu Academy gained experiences or friendships they needed, and after staying for several days, Agunas finally brought the keys back.
With the keys in hand, the group was finally able to enter the treasure vault’s interior to inspect the situation. Inside the Rock Peak Treasury, Feng Yuan looked at the surging sea of clouds and marveled,
"Who would have thought this troubleso place would have so many issues."
"I wonder what exactly is hidden within the Cloud Summit; it’s odd that there are so many Cloud Summits. Did they move everything there?"
Veronia looked at Agunas, who was preparing to open the treasure vault, and said puzzledly. As this was the first ti opening the vault, the work of docunting the related information was particularly tedious. To Veronia, the ergency-recording devices and other arrangents seed sowhat unnecessary.
The energy flow of Kastantos cannot be deciphered by modern technology, and as for changes? As long as there’s no special design, each ti the Cloud Summit is opened, the effect is the sa.
With the keys activating the Rock Peak Treasury, the underground patterns gradually glowed, and a mountain peak located in the clouds slowly drifted toward the group. A series of rocky paths rose from the sea of clouds and combined together, looking at the Cloud Summit high above the clouds, everyone felt a wave of excitent. The treasures left behind by the Golden Feather Dynasty were finally about to reveal themselves.
Though excitent abounded, ultimately, Feng Yuan led the way in the front. There was no choice, among this group, only he possessed the strongest ability to handle danger, while the other Divine Beasts needed to protect the safety of ordinary people.
Walking ahead, a fierce wind blew, and Feng Yuan curiously asked Veronia,
"With winds this strong, will those without enough strength be blown off?"
"Impossible, the wind appears based on your own preference. In reality, only you are enjoying the fierce wind."
Rolling her eyes, Veronia said helplessly, questioning whether Feng Yuan hadn’t noticed that his clothes hadn’t shown any signs of wind blowing?
"Is this movent based on the heart?"
Pausing a bit, Feng Yuan turned around to see that Xiao Ji and the others indeed had no sign of the wind blowing over them, similar to him, only a few within the group shared this experience.
Scratching his head, Feng Yuan couldn’t quite comprehend how the Rock Peak Treasury could detect his inner thoughts without triggering his self-defense chanism.
On the Cloud Summit, rocky palaces dotted this sizable mountain peak; beneath the mountain, the cloud sea rumbled, while a flowing cloud waterfall continuously poured torrents of cloud waves down below.
Looking at the golden-painted rocky palaces, Feng Yuan said, astonished,
"Is this place so vast? Just how much did they cram in here?"
