Chapter 532 - The First Vault
Lin Mu had chosen the main peak to be his first target, as he would be able to access the vault relatively easily, since he already had the key for it. The only problem was that he didn’t know about the current security there.
While he wouldn’t have to worry about the formations much, he would still have to look out for guards. Lin Mu had seen that the elders of the peak were already at the tribulation platform, but he had not noticed the sect patriarch there.
"Hopefully he has left, and I just missed him." Lin Mu muttered to himself.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.
He skipped the five buildings before him and made his way to the vault at the top. But upon reaching there he felt a wave of goosebumps appearing on his body and instantly used fade to enter the parallel world.
Back in the real world, an old man who looked to be in his sixties was staring at a location.
"Was that my imagination? Or was there someone there for a moment?" The old man wondered before his spirit sense spread out.
If someone were to be here, they would be able to feel the strength of his spirit sense and the aura that he emitted. This old man was none other than the sect patriarch of the Tri cauldron peony sect, Sect Patriarch Mudan!
The patriarch looked around the area carefully, and only when he was sure that no one was here did he leave.
~phew~
"So he was still here... thankfully I was able to use fade and get away." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
He watched the area empty out and then blinked to the top of the tallest building there to take a look at the proceedings in the tribulation platform. Since the building was at the very top, it was relatively easy for him to take a peek at the things below.
~DENG~
The door fully opened and Lin Mu could see the myriad treasures that were kept in the vault. His eyes darted from one thing to the other as he took it all in. There were high grade spirit stones, high grade herbs, various cultivation techniques, skills, manuals, weapons, spirit tools, talismans, and a lot more.
It all felt surreal to Lin Mu, and he could barely bring himself to believe his eyes.
Lin Mu quickly chanted the calming heart sutra to focus his mind and got to storing everything. He simply extended his finger and started to run along the items, as they started being stored into the ring one by one.
The vault itself was relatively small compared to the other ones Lin Mu had seen and it also had the least amount of items in it. Still, all of these items were personally collected by the sect patriarch or the supreme elder of the sect.
In less than three minutes, Lin Mu had robbed what was pretty much centuries’ worth of fortune accumulated by the patriarch.
~huu~
Lin Mu took a deep breath and left the vault, letting it close behind his back. He could see that some of the formations seemed to be behaving abnormally, but he didn’t have the liberty to check them.
’Alright, NEXT!’ Lin Mu said in his mind before phasing and blinking his way to the next vault.
This was the vault that had the majority of spirit tools and weapons of the sect. Lin Mu checked the area and quickly got to analyzing the formations before starting to unravel them. For any normal formation master, it would take months if not even longer to unravel these, but to Lin Mu who could directly perceive the fine changes in the space, it was simple.
Because Lin Mu could bypass the different layers of the formation by using the ring’s ability to create portals and gates, he was able to pick at each layer one by one. Some layers were intricate and did not follow the numerical order.
It was this complexity that basically made it extremely difficult for most formation masters to do their work.
He spent about ten minutes on this before the formations were fully unraveled.
"Bingo!"
