Chapter 948 Treasure Chest
In the wide wilderness between the beast and elven regions, a masked figure in green was wandering in this forest filled with demonic beasts. At this moment, magically, a black hooded figure appeared beside him and muttered, "I'm finally back ten continents or should I say the United Mainland. Isn't that the name they are going with nowadays?" It was naturally Ace who just used his divine trait to appear where his avatar was after mulling over the details of the new mission. Right now, he wanted to find the location of the Mortal Sky Heart Empire, and this was probably the biggest challenge. For starters, Ace decided to look into the fate map and follow the fate compass pointer, which could lead him to his most desirable fortune.
The second thing he did before coming here was to give the house members missions to find the clues about this mysterious hidden power, and their searching area was the mysterious endless sea!
Ace naturally won't leave the endless sea alone, since the system confirmed there was a most powerful and ancient lineage in the mortal sky heaven. Hence, it was quite clear that the ten continents weren't the only inhibited areas of the golden sky world. The third part of his search plan was his avatar. He looked at his avatar, and he was now completely integrated with his prowess. With a thought, his avatar vanished and headed towards another direction where he might be able to get some clues about this empire. As for himself, he was going after the fate map location once he was done in this place. At this moment, a white map appeared in his hand, and he opened it with anticipation. This was the same treasure map given to him by the Sun and Moon God when he made a deal with him to search for a descendant. However, at that time, he discovered that this map was useless because it was made before the great split. But it all changed when the continents began to merge back. Before, Ace also thought that this map and the treasure hidden by the Sun and Moon God was Heaven's Secret. But now, he knew it wasn't the case. These two matters were entirely different. Still, he didn't want to let go of this treasure because it belonged to a possible real God and someone capable of traveling between heavens and even able to acquire a treasure like the Mystic Bloodline Cist. Ace wanted to know what this guy was doing in this place and why he hid this treasure and his entire inheritance behind in this place. He also didn't forget about the sleeping soul in the token, which was supposed to be given to the bloodline owner. If this were a scheme of the Sun and Moon God for revival, then this treasure would be going back to its original owner. Alas, then Ace comes into the picture, and he won't let this happen while also taking all this treasure. That's why when all the continents finished merging, he had his avatar search for this marked location in this map, and just as he thought, this map really belonged to the time before the great split. This forest was the exact place where the treasure was hidden, and all that was left for to find its actual location. Ace looked around carefully and the map before he reached the depth of this forest. The demonic beasts can't see him because his stealth has reached the pinnacle of the mortal sky at his point. Suddenly, Ace reached a gully, and the next moment, the map in his hand began to vibrate before releasing a white glow. 'I'm close.' Ace's eyes shimmered with excitement as he could feel the map being pulled in a certain direction like a magnet. Ace followed without hesitation, as the closer he got to this pulling force, the more the map glowed and vibrated. At this moment, Ace suddenly stopped in front of an extremely old tree with dry branches, and it seemed to be completely wilted, dead for who knows how long. But something magical happened: a white ray shot out from the map into the tree, and suddenly, the wilted tree began to emit an aura of life as its lush green color began to change to its dark color, and leaves grew at a visible rate. Within a few seconds, the dead tree was full of vitality and completely revived, which astonished Ace. But it was far from over for the tree branches to move as if they were alive, and in front of Ace, a door was formed made with tree branches, and then a white vortex suddenly emerged in that door. 'Just how powerful that guy was actually?' Ace was completely flabbergasted, seeing this magical scene. He had never expected that it was possible even to create something like this. Without this map, no one would be able to enter this place, much less find the treasure, and the skills required to create something like this were unimaginable. Nonetheless, Ace knew one day he would be able to do something like this as long as he continued to move forward. Taking a deep breath, Ace entered the white vortex. The next moment, the tree, which seemed to be full of life, began to wilt again as the door made with branches vanished, and finally, a fiery spark emerged out of nowhere, torching the entire tree into gray flames before it turned into ashes!
Ace, at this moment, stepped in a bronze grand hall filled with rows of bronze columns and in the center of this strange place was a wooden chest. It looked extremely ordinary, made with brown polish wood, and there was only a keyhole, nothing else. Ace's eyes narrowed as he looked in the fate map and found that this place didn't appear on the map, which could only mean this area was even more powerful than his fate map detection ability, which was quite alarming since his treasure was now a grade-8 treasure. With a grave expression, Ace slowly begins to walk toward the wooden chest with the glowing map in his hand. He was also ready to teleport out using his divine trait the moment things went south. However, nothing of that sort happened as he reached the chest, and upon close inspection, it looked even more ordinary. 'Is it really some heaven-defying treasure?' Ace wondered as he tried to pick up the treasure chest. His expression changed because he couldn't lift this one cubic meter wooden chest!
