Chapter 606 Discovery of a Level 6 Treasure Site, Where Treasure Can Be Digged
"A monster... what a monster..."
Yu the Great's heartfelt exclamation echoed in the silent cave, expressing the sentiments of the other human sages.
They looked at Chen Changsheng with extremely complex expressions.
There was shock, relief, envy, and even a hint of... relief.
Fortunately, such a prodigy was born among their human race.
Chen Changsheng withdrew his fist, feeling the surging power of Dao within his body, and his heart was almost overflowing with pride.
Half a Saint!
Below the level of a sage, I have already reached the pinnacle!
He turned around, preparing to thank the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors for this incredible opportunity.
But just then, a cold and familiar mechanical voice, which only he could hear, rang out in his mind without warning.
【Ding! 】
[Level 6 treasure location discovered; treasure digging possible.]
Location: Human Holy Land, Fire Cloud Cave.
Should we excavate?
This sudden system notification made Chen Changsheng's words of gratitude get stuck in his throat.
He was completely stunned.
What's going on?
Is there a treasure trove hidden inside the Fire Cloud Cave?
Is it still Level 6?
A huge wave of emotions surged within Chen Changsheng, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably.
He knew the system's hierarchy all too well.
The Level 7 treasure chest contained the Great Dao Incarnation Technique.
The level eight treasure chest even unearthed the God-Slaying Spear, a supreme demonic weapon that even saints would envy!
The items buried in this level six treasure trove must be of a very high grade!
It must be at least a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, or even a treasure of the innate supreme level!
It's going to be big! This time it's really going to be big!
Chen Changsheng's breathing became somewhat rapid. He forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and subconsciously scanned the cave hall, trying to find the location marked by the system.
His unusual reaction naturally did not escape the notice of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
"Chang Sheng, what's wrong?"
It was the meticulous Shennong, the Earthly Sovereign, who spoke first. He looked at Chen Changsheng, who was both surprised and delighted, and whose eyes were still darting around, and asked with concern.
"But if your cultivation breakthrough is too rapid, will it cause some instability in your foundation?"
"Huh? Oh, no, nothing."
Chen Changsheng snapped out of his daze, quickly waved his hand, and took a deep breath to calm his excited emotions.
He organized his thoughts, looked at the ancient ancestors of the human race before him, and a somewhat strange smile appeared on his face.
"Esteemed sages, I have just had a sudden feeling that... it seems I have discovered an opportunity within this Fire Cloud Cave."
He didn't say directly that there was treasure, but used a more euphemistic way of putting it.
However, as soon as he said that, the atmosphere in the entire cave hall instantly became somewhat subtle.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the eight sages of the human race, were all stunned.
They looked at each other, their expressions remarkably identical.
It was a mixture of astonishment, confusion, and a slight urge to laugh.
"Opportunity?"
Da Yu, who was the most straightforward, couldn't help but burst into laughter. He stepped forward and patted Chen Changsheng's shoulder heavily once again.
"You brat, did you just break through and your power surge so much that it's clouded your judgment?"
"You said any opportunity would work, but you're saying it's in this Fiery Cloud Cave? Hahaha, you must be mistaken!"
Yu the Great laughed so hard he almost fell over, tears welling up in his eyes.
"How many ages have we brothers been stuck in this godforsaken place? We know exactly how many ants are in the cave, and which rock is covered in moss!"
"If there were truly any fortuitous encounters or treasures, would it be your turn to discover them?"
His words were blunt, but they reflected the sentiments of everyone present.
"Yes, immortality."
Emperor Xuanyuan also spoke. Although he didn't laugh out loud like Yu the Great, his majestic face also showed a clear smile.
"This place is where the fortune of our human race gathers. Every blade of grass and every tree is under our control. If a rare treasure were to appear, it would be impossible for it to escape our perception."
Even the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, who was an expert in divination, stroked his beard and slowly shook his head.
"Based on my deductions using the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams, this cave is clear and unobstructed, showing no signs of any extraordinary treasures emerging. Changsheng, perhaps you have misjudged the situation."
have to.
Again.
This familiar scene, this familiar conversation.
Chen Changsheng was overjoyed.
From digging up precious coins in Wuyi Mountain, to finding dragon-headed walking sticks in the Purple Mansion Secret Realm, and then to digging up the Eastern Emperor Bell in Nuwa Palace...
Every time he took out the system notification, he was met with this "impossible, absolutely impossible" reaction.
But the result?
Each time, he proved everyone wrong with the facts.
The feeling of playing dumb to fool the powerful and then watching the big shots dumbfounded is just too satisfying!
Chen Changsheng cleared his throat, a mysterious smile on his face.
"As you know, this matter sounds rather unbelievable."
"However, the kid's intuition is always very accurate."
He looked at the expressions on the faces of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors that seemed to say, "Keep making things up, let's see what other tricks you can come up with," and chuckled inwardly before unleashing his trump card.
"Then, esteemed sages, would you like me to dig it up and see for myself?"
dig?
Upon hearing this word, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were once again taken aback.
Yu the Great stared wide-eyed and pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
"Dig? Dig here?"
"Boy, do you even know what the floor of this Fiery Cloud Cave is made of? It's innate Wu Earth, mixed with endless human merits. Its hardness is almost comparable to your physical body!"
"Trying to dig a hole here is harder than fighting a saint!"
"No problem, I have my own way," Chen Changsheng said confidently.
His confident demeanor, ironically, made the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors somewhat uncertain.
They looked at each other, exchanging glances for a moment.
This kid just shook the entire Fire Cloud Cave with a single punch, demonstrating incredible strength.
Now they're confidently claiming there's treasure here.
Could it be... that there really is some secret they don't know?
"good!"
In the end, it was Emperor Fuxi who made the final decision.
His eyes gleamed with intense curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.
"We are also very curious about what exactly you sensed."
"Go ahead and do it. I want to see what you can come up with from this old nest we've lived in for so many years!"
"Okay!"
This is exactly what Chen Changsheng was waiting for.
He chuckled and, guided by the system map, began to walk towards a corner of the cave.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, along with eight human sages, followed behind him, their faces filled with curiosity.
They wanted to see what kind of "surprise" this remarkable successor would bring them this time.
Soon, Chen Changsheng stopped in front of an inconspicuous stone wall.
He pointed to the ground in front of him.
"This is it."
"Right here?"
The eyes of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, eight pairs of eyes containing endless wisdom and vicissitudes, all fell on the ground that Chen Changsheng pointed to.
It was an ordinary floor, flat and smooth as a mirror, no different from the floors in other parts of the cave.
Yu the Great squatted down, stretched out his large, fan-like hand, and tapped and touched the ground.
"Thump! Thump!"
The sound was deep and heavy, proving that the ground was made of an indestructible material.
"Nothing seems wrong."
Da Yu stood up, scratched his head, and looked puzzled.
"Kid, are you sure this is the place? There's nothing but dirt down here."
Emperor Xuanyuan also frowned. He swept his imperial dragon aura over the area, but found nothing.
"Chang Sheng, there are no traces of any array or restriction here, nor any signs of spiritual energy gathering. It's all quite ordinary."
Even Emperor Fuxi activated the Eight Trigrams and began to deduce their meaning.
However, his eyes, which could see through the secrets of heaven, still saw nothing unusual.
"Strange, we really haven't found anything."
For the first time, genuine doubt appeared on Fuxi's face.
He had absolute confidence in his deductive reasoning skills.
But now, Chen Changsheng is full of confidence, yet his deductions have yielded no results.
This can only mean two things.
Either Chen Changsheng has really made a mistake.
Either the thing hidden below has an origin and level that has surpassed the limits of his deduction!
The thought of the second possibility made even Emperor Fuxi's heart skip a beat.
Chen Changsheng watched them rack their brains, searching in vain, and he almost burst out laughing inside.
Fighting my system?
You guys are still too green!
He stopped keeping it a secret and just smiled mysteriously.
"My esteemed predecessors, isn't it true? Why don't we just dig it up and see?"
After saying that, he flipped his wrist to everyone's astonishment.
A flash of light.
Something appeared out of thin air in his hand.
That was a... shovel.
It is entirely black, with an antique style, and looks like a tool used by ordinary farmers to dig the ground, with even traces of soil on it.
There was not a trace of magical power fluctuation, nor a single ray of divine light of law.
Plain and unremarkable, simple and unadorned.
The moment the shovel appeared, the entire cavern fell into a deathly silence.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and eight human sages, were all petrified.
They stared blankly at the shovel in Chen Changsheng's hand, their eyes wide open and their mouths agape.
My mind was completely blank.
shovel?
A shovel?
Da Yu blinked hard, wondering if he was seeing things.
He turned to look at Shennong beside him, his voice trembling slightly.
"Old Shennong, did you...did you see that? He...he took out something?"
Shennong's lips were also twitching uncontrollably.
"Look...I see it, it looks like...a shovel used for digging the ground?"
"Am I seeing things?" Even the ever-present majestic face of the Yellow Emperor couldn't hold back anymore, and his expression was incredibly interesting.
"He...he's going to use this thing to dig up the ground of our Fire Cloud Cave?"
crazy!
This kid must be crazy!
This was the unanimous thought of everyone present.
They had seen magical treasures before, including innate spiritual treasures, acquired supreme treasures, and even innate supreme treasures.
But in all their years of life, this was the first time they had ever seen someone prepare a shovel as ordinary as iron to dig up innate Wutu, which was comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!
Is this a joke?
This is like throwing an egg against a rock!
No, it's even more outrageous than that!
"Immortality..."
Fuxi the Emperor's tone became somewhat strained as he looked at Chen Changsheng, hesitant to speak.
"Are you...are you sure you want to use this?"
"How about I lend you the Hetu and Luoshu? Although I'm not good at warfare, they're more than enough to break through this ground."
"No need, Your Majesty."
Chen Changsheng smiled and politely declined Fuxi's offer. He weighed the treasure-digging shovel in his hand, his face full of confidence.
"Kid, this treasure of yours may look unremarkable, but it's a professional tool for digging things up."
baby?
Professional?
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' eyes twitched as they listened.
They simply couldn't associate the broken shovel in front of them with the word "treasure".
"Ahem, kid, have you thought this through?"
Da Yu coughed twice, kindly offering a reminder.
"You just felt how hard this ground is. If you break this... treasure with your shovel, don't blame us for not warning you."
"Thank you for the reminder, sage Yu the Great. I understand."
Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and stopped wasting words with them.
Facts speak louder than words.
He turned around, facing the smooth ground, and gripped the wooden handle of the shovel tightly with both hands.
Then, under the complex gazes of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, a mixture of "sympathy," "regret," and "amusement," he took a deep breath and swung his arm.
"Hey!"
He let out a soft shout and slammed the shovel in his hand down hard onto the ground!
At this moment, time seemed to slow down.
The gazes of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were fixed intently on that black iron shovel.
They could almost foresee that the poor shovel would snap in two the moment it came into contact with the innate earth element.
Then, this arrogant brat will slink away in embarrassment.
however.
What happened next completely overturned their worldview, which had existed for hundreds of millions of years.
There was a soft "plop" sound.
The sound didn't resemble the collision of metal and rock.
Instead, it was more like... a red-hot branding iron stuck into a piece of butter.
There was no earth-shattering noise as I had imagined.
There were no unexpected sparks flying.
The seemingly ordinary black shovel encountered no resistance whatsoever the moment it touched the indestructible, naturally formed earthen ground.
It went in so easily, so smoothly, so directly...!
It sank deep into the ground!
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
The moment that pitch-black shovel plunged effortlessly into the ground, the entire Fire Cloud Cave seemed to be put on pause.
The expressions on the faces of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the eight sages of the human race, froze completely in that instant.
Their smiles, which were meant to be a good show, were still frozen on their lips.
Their eyes, filled with "I knew it," remained fixed in mid-air.
Everyone's movements were frozen in this moment, like eight lifelike statues.
Their minds were left with an indescribable blank and chaotic void.
They're inside?
He just... went in like that?
