Chapter 245 The Mysterious First Appearance of a Spirit Realm Treasure
The ancient buildings, like a sleeping giant, lie quietly on the vast earth.
The mottled walls are covered with the marks of time, as if silently telling a long story.
Zhuang Yu stood at a distance, gazing at the mysterious ancient house, feeling both excited and wary.
His purpose in this trip was to find the legendary treasures of the spirit world.
He knew that the treasure was hidden in this ancient house, and obtaining it would be a great help on his path to immortality.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Yu's heart began to pound violently, and an overwhelming desire surged within him.
However, the surrounding silence made him feel uneasy.
The wind howled, as if whispering something, and an indescribable sense of oppression filled the air.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath, but he was not afraid. In order to pursue greater power, he was already prepared to meet any challenge.
He approached the old house cautiously, taking each step with extreme care, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding environment, afraid of missing any clues.
"who?!"
A sharp shout suddenly broke the silence. Zhuang Yu looked up abruptly and saw a figure fly out of the old house and land in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The newcomer was dressed in fine clothes, with a cold and stern face, and exuded a powerful aura. He was clearly a master in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
He looked down at Zhuang Yu arrogantly, his eyes filled with disdain, "Where did this junior come from, daring to trespass on my family's forbidden area?!"
This person is the eldest son of the patriarch of a mysterious and ancient family.
Zhuang Yu remained calm and met his gaze. "I have no ill intentions. I simply wish to take a look around your esteemed place."
"Hmph! How dare you!" the eldest son sneered. "This is no place for you. Leave immediately, or else..."
Zhuang Yu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a calm smile. "Otherwise, what?"
An invisible pressure emanated from the eldest son, as if it would crush Zhuang Yu.
However, Zhuang Yu stood still, letting the pressure come his way. There was no fear in his eyes, but rather a strange light shone in them.
“Interesting…” The eldest son narrowed his eyes, looking Zhuang Yu up and down, secretly surprised.
He hadn't expected that this seemingly ordinary young man could withstand his pressure; he was clearly no ordinary person...
"Otherwise what?" Zhuang Yu asked with a slight smile, his tone as calm as if he were discussing the weather, completely unaffected by the pressure from the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
This seemingly casual question, however, was like a sharp thorn, piercing the eldest son's pride.
His face flushed red, like a ripe persimmon, yet he couldn't find a suitable reason to lash out.
After all, Zhuang Yu was just standing there, and hadn't done anything yet.
All around was silent, except for the rustling of leaves in the wind, which seemed to mock the eldest son's incompetence.
The eerie silence infuriated the eldest son, who felt like a clown being made a fool of by an unknown kid.
The onlookers secretly cheered, all looking forward to Zhuang Yu's next move.
"Fine, very well!" The eldest son gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, no longer able to maintain his previous arrogant attitude.
"Since you insist on courting death, then don't blame me!" He quickly formed hand seals, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy poured out like a tide, transforming into sharp beams that pierced straight at Zhuang Yu.
Wherever the sharp energy passed, the air emitted a piercing whistling sound, and the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were instantly shaken by the aftershocks of the spiritual energy, causing dust to fly everywhere.
Zhuang Yu moved with agility, weaving through the sharp edges like a ghost. Every dodge was perfectly timed, as if he had already anticipated the eldest son's attack trajectory.
The guardian spirit of the ancient house, hidden in the shadows, stared intently at Zhuang Yu with its deep, dark eyes, seemingly assessing his strength.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, like a taut string that could break at any time.
Just when the eldest son thought Zhuang Yu could only passively dodge, a glint flashed in Zhuang Yu's eyes, and he seized a fleeting opportunity, suddenly stopping in his tracks.
With a thought, the power of the mysterious space instantly empowered him, and a powerful force erupted from his body.
He struck out with a backhand palm, a seemingly light strike that contained terrifying power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the palm strike and the sharp edge collided, bursting forth with dazzling light.
Caught off guard, the eldest son was forced to retreat by the powerful force, his face turning pale instantly.
Those watching the battle were all shocked by Zhuang Yu's sudden counterattack. They never expected that this seemingly unremarkable young man would possess such formidable strength.
The eldest son steadied himself, his eyes filled with disbelief, "You..."
However, Zhuang Yu did not press his advantage. Instead, he slowly withdrew his hand, a faint smile still on his lips. "Want to continue?" The eldest son steadied himself, his breathing disordered, his heart filled with doubt and uncertainty.
He originally thought Zhuang Yu would press his advantage, but to his surprise, the other party simply withdrew his hand, with an enigmatic smile on his lips.
This sudden pause made the eldest son feel uneasy, like the calm before a storm.
Zhuang Yu shifted his gaze from his eldest son and began to carefully observe the restrictions surrounding the old house.
These restrictions act like invisible walls, firmly protecting the ancient house and giving it an ancient and mysterious aura.
The light from the barrier flickered erratically, like breathing, containing immense power.
Seeing that Zhuang Yu had stopped attacking him and instead went to examine the restriction, the eldest son became even more puzzled.
He sneered and mocked, "What, you're too scared to fight now? Are you afraid now?"
Zhuang Yu ignored his eldest son's provocation, his gaze fixed on the restrictions as if trying to see through them.
His fingers gently touched the light of the barrier, feeling the energy fluctuations contained within.
Time passed second by second, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze, silent and still.
As the eldest son watched Zhuang Yu's focused expression, he grew increasingly uneasy, sensing that something was about to happen.
Suddenly, Zhuang Yu's
This flaw was extremely well hidden; if he hadn't possessed keen observation skills and powerful divine sense, he would never have been able to discover it.
This discovery thrilled him.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement. He reached out and slowly approached the flaw in the restriction.
His movements were gentle and slow, as if he were caressing a precious work of art.
Just as his fingers were about to touch the opening, he suddenly stopped...
Just as Zhuang Yu's finger was about to touch the flaw in the restriction, a chilling laugh echoed in the air like a ghost: "Hehe, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. You guys are really having a good time."
With a burst of laughter, a figure draped in a black robe appeared silently at the entrance of the old house. Thick black mist surrounded him, obscuring his face. Only his eyes, gleaming with a ghostly green light, were visible, as cold and sinister as a venomous snake.
This is the infamous Shadow Fiend.
The appearance of the Shadow Demon stunned Zhuang Yu and the eldest son of the family, who were already on the verge of conflict.
They did not expect that at this critical juncture, a third party would intervene.
The three sides were locked in a standoff, the atmosphere instantly becoming tense, and the air thick with the smell of gunpowder.
Zhuang Yu narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the Shadow Demon before him, secretly on guard.
He knew that the Shadow Demon was cunning, unfathomable in strength, and not someone to be trifled with.
He felt a chilling aura clinging to him like a bone-deep infection, making him feel uneasy.
The eldest son of the family had a gloomy face. He hadn't expected that his fight with Zhuang Yu would attract the uninvited guest, Shadow Demon.
He cursed inwardly, but dared not make any rash moves.
He knew that the Shadow Demon was far stronger than him, and if he made a rash move, he would probably suffer more losses than gains.
The Shadow Demon chuckled sinisterly, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Zhuang Yu and the eldest son of the family, like a venomous snake searching for its prey.
He licked his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "The treasures of the spirit realm are not something you juniors can lay your hands on. If you know what's good for you, you'd better get lost, or else..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the threat was clear.
He slowly raised one hand, and black mist condensed in his palm, forming a hideous skull that exuded a chilling aura of death.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath, sensing the tense atmosphere around him.
He knew in his heart that a major battle was inevitable.
He clenched his fist, a powerful force surging within him.
His gaze was piercing as he stared intently at the Shadow Demon, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"You want to take my things? Then let's see if you have the ability!" Zhuang Yu's deep voice boomed like thunder, breaking the suffocating silence.
At the same time, the guardian spirit of the ancient house, hidden in the shadows, also sensed the tense atmosphere. It slightly opened its eyes, which flashed with a ghostly blue light. A powerful pressure emanated from it, enveloping the entire ancient house, as if warning everyone not to act rashly.
The wind suddenly stopped, and even the air seemed to freeze.
Zhuang Yu watched the Shadow Demon warily, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the eldest son of the family and the faint aura of the ancient mansion's guardian spirit, and a strange premonition welled up in his heart...
"It seems that things are getting more and more interesting today..." Zhuang Yu muttered to himself.
