"Identity tablet …" Master Daoist Yuan Mu muttered to himself. If they had the identity tablet, they would naturally be able to enter the storehouse unimpeded and would be safe.
However, this Distant Past era's big sect had been destroyed for more than a hundred thousand years. Where would they get the storehouse identity tablet?
Every important item like the storehouse identity tablet was either kept in an important place of the sect with layers of restrictions or in the hands of important figures. They didn't have the slightest clue about this.
"Little Friend Mo, do you mean you know where the storehouse identity tablet is?" Demon Monarch Guifang asked.
"Yes." Mo Tiange didn't hesitate and straightforwardly admitted it, but she didn't continue.
Everyone present was smart; they knew this was her bargaining chip.
If things were really as she said, this bargaining chip was too important. No matter who it was, they would definitely raise the price.
If it was before, Mo Tiange wouldn't have the capital to raise any conditions under the suppression of absolute strength. But now, she also had powerful Nascent Soul cultivators behind her, so her weight was much greater. She also had the confidence to raise her conditions.
At least this time, Yu Shusheng couldn't say, "What qualifications do you have to talk about conditions?"
Master Daoist Yuan Mu said in a deep voice, "Little Friend Mo, if you have something to say, please speak frankly."
In any case, the weight of these late Nascent Soul cultivators wasn't small. This junior wasn't a fool and wouldn't speak without thinking. As long as the conditions weren't too excessive, they could accept them.
Mo Tiange smiled. "Seniors, please don't blame me. Junior is just a bit timid. Being together with Seniors is very stressful."
Yu Shusheng narrowed his eyes and closed his folding fan. He asked, "You want to enter the storehouse alone?"
"To be exact, junior wants to be the first to enter the storehouse." Under the sharp gazes of the Nascent Soul cultivators, Mo Tiange remained calm and didn't shrink back.
For a moment, the Nascent Soul cultivators didn't answer. Everyone looked pensive.
The first person to enter the storehouse would get the best treasures. There was no need to say more about the benefits.
If she was alone, her tone would've been a bit too arrogant, but with Qin Xi here …
Master Daoist Yuan Mu couldn't help but glance at Qin Xi. Qin Xi's expression was calm as if he didn't care, but he was standing in a very good position to protect Mo Tiange.
Master Daoist Yuan Mu furrowed his brows, feeling a headache.
How could it be so coincidental that Fellow Daoist Qin arrived just before they entered the mystic area?
If it was like before, even if this Little Friend Mo had Fu Yaozi's divine sense protecting her, she wouldn't have dared to make such a request. Previously, she had also said that she only wanted a share of the pie. However, things were different now.
Of course, if all of them joined forces, it wouldn't be difficult for a mid Nascent Soul stage Cultivator, no matter how powerful his divine abilities were. But the problem was, in the face of benefits, they had to keep each other in check. How could they possibly join forces?
Besides, killing a Nascent Soul cultivator wasn't easy. If one couldn't kill a Nascent Soul cultivator as well, there would be no end of trouble in the future. Therefore, even if there was enmity between Nascent Soul cultivators, it was very restrained.
"Little Friend Mo, your conditions are acceptable." Demon Monarch Guifang was the first to speak.
Apart from Mo Tiange and Qin Xi, his relationship with the other three teams was the most estranged. Even though they usually coexisted peacefully and Daoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism were considered the Righteous Path after all, but at critical moments, they were still opposing his Devil Path.
Under this kind of situation, he was suppressed by the other three teams and was more inclined to side with Mo Tiange.
After a short pause, he continued to say, "However, if you're the first to enter, all the treasures in this storehouse will be taken by you. Won't we be at a disadvantage?" But this kind of bias also had to ensure their own benefits.
"That's right." Yu Shusheng also said coldly, "This condition is too difficult to accept."
"Seniors, don't be in a hurry to refuse," Mo Tiange said calmly.
"To tell you the truth, Seniors, storehouse tokens aren't omnipotent. Each token can only allow one person to enter and exit at a time. At most, they can only take away one treasure.
Seniors, how many tokens do you think this junior can take?
And how many treasures can I take?
How could the Seniors have nothing to take from the storehouse of such an ancient sect just because the Juniors had taken a few treasures first?
I'm afraid when the time comes, Seniors won't know what to pick. "
"Are you serious?" Master Daoist Yuan Mu asked cautiously.
If each token could only take one treasure, this condition wasn't that big of a deal. Just as she said, no matter how bad it was, it was impossible for this great ancient sect's storehouse to only have one or two treasures that were pleasing to the eye.
"That's right. If Senior Yuan Mu doesn't believe me, we can verify it after we get the tokens."
"…" If things were really as Mo Tiange said, this condition wasn't so difficult to accept.
This way, the two of them wouldn't be able to take many treasures. At most, they would immediately flee after leaving the storehouse to ensure their own safety.
As for setting up an ambush outside, presumably, they wouldn't do such a stupid thing in front of five late Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
"Alright, I have no objections."
The first to speak was actually Yu Shusheng. He was actually able to let go. His expression was calm, without the slightest bit of unwillingness.
Master Daoist Yuan Mu and Master Daoist Tie Mian glanced at each other then slowly nodded.
Since both sides agreed, needless to say, Venerable Wuming and Devil Monarch Guifang naturally agreed.
However, before Mo Tiange could speak, Devil Monarch Guifang beat her to it and said, "Wait!
Little Friend Mo, apart from using the tokens, is there really no other way to deal with the restrictions in this storehouse? "
This sentence sounded very simple on the surface, but in fact, it contained another meaning.
If she hid some kind of trick and was the first to enter, the two of them would take all the treasures and immediately flee after coming out. In that case, wouldn't all of them be fooled?
Mo Tiange understood, so she answered, "If Seniors don't believe me, you can break the Illusory Formation and see if the restrictions in this storehouse are as I said. They're simply unbreakable.
Seniors, you're all top-notch great cultivators in the Human Realm. Needless to say, your attainments in formations need not be mentioned. Even if the Senior Five Saints back then were much more powerful than all of you, they still wouldn't be able to break through the restrictions of their realms. "
After hearing what she said, everyone was silent for a while.
Mo Tiange's words weren't unreasonable. The gap between the Nascent Soul realm and the Deification realm was very clear to these old monsters who had lived for thousands of years.
The lower their realms, the smaller the gap between the two realms. With the help of treasures, Aura Refining cultivators might be able to compete with Foundation Building cultivators. A Core Formation cultivator, if they were talented enough, could also catch up with a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, the gap between the Nascent Soul realm and the Deification realm was like heaven and earth. If the restrictions were for cultivators above the Deification realm, they definitely wouldn't be able to break them.
"Alright." Devil Monarch Guifang muttered to himself for a while then said, "I'll believe you this time."
Everyone reached a consensus. Mo Tiange said, "Senior Five Saints searched for ancient books and records in this sect. During the great war between the righteous path and the devil path, the elders all had several storehouse tokens in their hands as rewards for their disciples.
In the end, those elders couldn't escape the calamity and were buried in the immortal palace.
We only need to find the corpses of the elders of this sect and we'll be able to find the storehouse tokens. "
"How are we going to identify them?"
Yu Shusheng asked. "Moreover, since they were elders, their cultivation levels must be outstanding. Those refined corpses we encountered earlier were at most in the Nascent Soul realm, but they were already so hard to deal with. If those elders also turned into refined corpses …"
"Senior Fuyaozi said that the Immortal's Caves of these elders were independent of the small peaks. Seniors, please take a look. Most of the independent peaks around us have Immortal's Caves of the elders."
Mo Tiange paused for a moment then continued to answer, "Junior doesn't dare to say that those elders didn't turn into refined corpses.
However, this is definitely a minority. Seniors, you must know better than Junior how coincidental the formation of naturally refined corpses is. "
In short, if they happened to find elders who turned into refined corpses, they could only consider themselves unlucky.
Master Daoist Yuan Mu nodded. "It seems Senior Fuyaozi already told Little Friend Mo about this. Presumably, based on this senior's character, he wouldn't play tricks on us, the younger generation from a hundred thousand years later."
He then turned towards Mo Tiange. "Little Friend Mo, in that case, should we split up and look for the tokens?"
Mo Tiange smiled and said, "Junior doesn't dare to decide this. Seniors, you can do whatever you think is appropriate."
Upon hearing what she said, the several Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't help but criticize her in their hearts. Along the way, did she not decide many things?
Relying on Fuyaozi's support, she didn't hesitate to order them around. Unfortunately, they didn't have much information, so they had to listen to her.
Now that this matter was right in front of them, the more tokens they could find, the more treasures they could obtain. This was something they absolutely couldn't share with others.
Their group had so many great cultivators with amazing divine abilities. If a dispute arose, it would be difficult to handle. Splitting up to look for tokens was the most suitable method.
As for Mo Tiange, they already had no need to worry about her.
If she had a way by herself, she wouldn't have brought so many people to the storehouse. At most, she would've just taken advantage of the situation.
This was unavoidable. Who told her to have the best fated chance and run into Fuyaozi?
If she really obtained an amazing fated chance, it wouldn't be too late for them to make a move then.
Everyone quickly reached an agreement. After asking about the characteristics of the tokens and setting a time to meet, they all left.
Out of the three days, one day had already passed. There were only two days left.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but they all tacitly agreed to stay for one day to deal with their personal matters, so they agreed to meet here one day later.
Once the others were far away, Qin Xi couldn't help but ask, "Tiange, are you really …"
After being separated for fifty years, now that they met again, he realized he could no longer see through her thoughts at first glance, and he also didn't need to give her pointers one by one.
In the past fifty years, she had grown a lot. From her cultivation level to her behavior, she had the demeanor of a high level cultivator. In front of these late Nascent Soul cultivators, she always maintained her composure and was neither servile nor overbearing.
This was a good thing, he thought.
The current Mo Tiange was only one step away from the Nascent Soul realm. As long as she advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, she would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
As Dual Cultivation partners, the closer their cultivation levels were, the longer they could stay together.
A mysterious smile appeared on Mo Tiange's face along with a rare playfulness. She winked at him and said, "I didn't lie at all, but …" She had to hold something back to live up to the fated chance given to her by the heavens. Who told her to be so lucky to obtain the Life Revival Sword and Fuyaozi's inheritance?
"Then what are we going to do next?" he asked. He was very curious about what she was hiding.
"Of course we're going to look for tokens." Mo Tiange smiled. "This … I'm telling the truth."
