Chapter 1359: Chapter 327_6
As long as they dared to approach the treasure vaults, they would face the attacks of all the Great Teachings. Thus, they could only target resources that were disregarded by the major sects, such as the corpses of the deceased Heaven Prayers Sect members, searching to see if any Qiankun Bags were on them or if any relatively well-preserved Divine Weapons remained on the ground.
Or perhaps directly tampering with the Great Formations constructed by the Heaven Prayers Sect.
Although many disciples of Heaven Prayers Sect were fully aware that their sect would fail the Heavenly Tribulation, they still arranged numerous formations to confront the Sect Tribulation. Even after these formations were destroyed, some of the materials could still be salvaged.
Then there were the Cave Mansions within the Heaven Prayers Sect. Perhaps some of them might hold residual treasures.
Even scrambling over these corpses could ignite some conflicts. Meanwhile, at the forefront of all the Heaven Prayers Sect’s treasure vaults, groups of disciples from various Great Teachings had already surrounded them. Before some vaults, Divine Weapons soared incessantly, as people mutually exchanged strikes.
At other vaults, the leaders of various Great Teachings were deep in discussions on how to divide the treasures.
"Everyone, there’s no need for us to fight. Our shared purpose is the treasures within the vaults, not a self-destructive battle. I suggest that we, the five Great Teachings, form a direct alliance and jointly split this treasure vault."
"Alright, I agree. But how exactly should we divide it?"
"Naturally, by skill. All five Great Teachings should mobilize their disciples to surround the treasure vault and forbid outsiders from entering. Then, one representative from each sect can enter to seize the treasures. How much they can snatch depends on their capability."
"How convenient for you to say. There’s someone among you who’s at the Golden Core Period Limit, a level we lack. How is anyone supposed to compete with your sect?"
"A single person would be too few anyway, and delays lead to complications. With so many Great Teachings entering the Heaven Prayers Sect, even if we five allied, we might struggle to retain this treasure vault. Therefore, I propose that each sect sends in ten people to enter the vault."
"I agree. Ten is just the right number. However, once we’re inside the vault, no one is permitted to attack each other. Everyone should rely on their own methods and Divine Skills to secure treasures, without targeting their peers!"
"Agreed!"
"Excellent, then that’s settled!"
Although the Heaven Prayers Sect had fallen into decline, as a sect that had survived for over 1.4 million years, its treasure vaults were undeniably abundant.
The five Great Teachings splitting a single vault seemed reasonable enough, especially since the vault being divided wasn’t even the largest among them.
Meanwhile, at a treasure vault far larger than this one, numerous members of the Great Teachings had assembled. Though no direct conflict had erupted, the tension in the air was palpable, and no agreement had been reached regarding the division of the loot.
Among the crowd, a man clad in a black robe suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, we are all members of Great Teachings. How about we allocate this treasure vault together? We..."
Before he could finish, Jiu Yin interrupted him harshly: "Divide? You petty Bone-devouring Demon Sect dare to think you can share this treasure vault with us of the Yin Yang Sect?"
As soon as Jiu Yin finished speaking, a resentful expression surfaced on the unnaturally pale, sickly face of the man who seemed long unexposed to sunlight. However, he didn’t lash out. The Bone-devouring Demon Sect indeed couldn’t compare with the Yin Yang Sect. Throughout the entire Eastern Province, scarcely any sects could rival the Yin Yang Sect, with the sole exception of the Dragon Chant Sect among those present.
Suddenly, the magnetic voice of Immortal Bi Yue rang out.
"Sister Jiu Yin, how about we, Dragon Chant Sect, align with your Yin Yang Sect? We can divide this treasure vault equally."
The Sect Hierarch of Dragon Chant Sect had remained with the main sect and hadn’t ventured out. Hence, their contingent here naturally followed Immortal Bi Yue’s lead.
Though Jiu Yin wasn’t the Yin Yang Sect’s sole cultivator at the Golden Core Period Limit present, Dragon Chant Sect had three such cultivators, and this time, two of them had been dispatched.
Upon hearing Bi Yue’s proposal, Jiu Yin turned toward a seemingly average cultivator nearby—a man so plain in appearance that he would be entirely indistinguishable among either a group of cultivators or ordinary mortals—and asked in a low voice, "Senior Brother, what do you think of Immortal Bi Yue’s suggestion? I think it’s a rather good idea; we could collaborate with Dragon Chant Sect."
As her words fell, the expressions of many leaders from other sects darkened. After all, Dragon Chant Sect and Yin Yang Sect were the two most formidable sects gathered at this treasure vault’s entrance. If they joined forces, everyone else would be in grave trouble.
However, considering Dragon Chant Sect and Yin Yang Sect typically had no interaction, mutual trust between them seemed unlikely, making collaboration improbable.
The man who appeared average in every respect revealed a hint of surprise at Jiu Yin’s comment but responded gravely, "Dragon Chant Sect is certainly qualified to work with us of the Yin Yang Sect. Even our master has commented on the unfathomable depths of Dragon Chant Sect’s Sect Hierarch.
Since your senior brother is here solely to contribute to combat, all other decisions fall to you, Junior Sister. If Junior Sister believes Dragon Chant Sect trustworthy, then by all means collaborate."
"As your Junior Sister, I naturally trust Elder Sister Bi Yue." Despite being surrounded by other Great Teachings’ representatives, Jiu Yin didn’t even spare a glance at them, evidently disregarding their presence entirely. She smiled and turned directly toward Immortal Bi Yue: "Elder Sister Bi Yue, then let’s work together. How many people from each sect should venture into the vault to retrieve treasures?"
She said "retrieve" rather than "snatch," clearly revealing that she had already deemed this vault the shared property of Yin Yang Sect and Dragon Chant Sect.
As for whether she trusted Immortal Bi Yue? Ever since aiding Five Sounds Sect with their Heavenly Tribulation, Jiu Yin had spent considerable time with Immortal Bi Yue and grown quite familiar with her. Additionally, they had collaborated with Cao Zhen and Xiang Ziyu during a prior ruins expedition, further solidifying Jiu Yin’s faith in her.
Likewise, Immortal Bi Yue ignored the other sects and focused intently on Jiu Yin, saying, "Naturally, the more people, the better. Each sect should dispatch one hundred people into the vault to collect treasures. Once we’ve gathered everything from this vault, we’ll head to others and collect more.
We’ve already arrived here—how can we settle for the contents of just one vault? As for the largest treasure vault, we must go and see it for ourselves and extract its treasures!"
At that moment, Immortal Bi Yue radiated a majestic and commanding presence rarely displayed before!
Others entering the Heaven Prayers Sect might deem themselves fortunate to grab even a modest share, perhaps remaining satisfied with dividing a single vault among multiple sects. Yet, for her—for Dragon Chant Sect—such a settlement was far from adequate!
