Chapter 1215 - The Stunned Cultivators

A moment later, a total of forty cultivators landed on the mountain.

It was as if a giant hand was directing how the situation was developing. The forty cultivators were scattered across more than ten places. Each group was entirely unaware of the others.

"Judging from the two of our maps, this place should have plenty of the Heavenly Arcana Spiritual Fruits. We are looking for a blue stone around the size of a hand, which we need to break into pieces."

Huo Dun said as they landed on the ground.

"I feel like someone else is here on the mountain too."

Ao Sha said as his eyes squinted.

"That isn't our concern. I heard from the others that the difference between an ordinary map and a golden map was that the latter would guide us to the right place. On the other hand, the ordinary maps would only lead them to the mountain, but the tips given on them are actually wrong. It will only lead them to a trap."

Huo Dun half-consciously glanced at Zhan Xiaoxian and said in a smug tone.

"I see, the golden map is very handy then!"

"Luckily we were able to claim the golden maps!"

The rest of the disciples from the ancient tribes said and began searching the place.

A brief while later, they found the blue stone in a bush. After crushing it into pieces, a loud thud could be heard. An ancient tree exploded, revealing the path it was concealing.

"This must be it!"

Huo Dun's eyes flickered with joy as he led the group into it.

Meanwhile, the same scene was taking place across the other places on the mountain.

The cultivators followed the guides on their maps and found the triggers. They managed to open up the hidden paths and entered the place.

On a side note, none of them had found the spot where Qin Nan was.

Time gradually passed. Huo Dun's crew and the other groups of cultivators overcame the challenges along the way and ventured deeper into the mountain.

After the period it took an incense stick to burn…

Huo Dun and his crew finally arrived at the end of the passage. In front of them stood a water curtain which seemed to be a portal.

"Is that…"

Huo Dun, Ao Sha, Zhan Xiaoxian, and the others were astounded when they saw the scene inside the curtain.

Behind the curtain was a spacious hall made of stone. At the center of the hall stood three white ancient trees, with shiny fruits emitting magical auras filling the branches. There were eighty of them in total.

These fruits were none other than the Heavenly Arcana Spiritual Fruits.

Even Huo Dun, Ao Sha, and Zhan Xiaoxian could feel their breathing intensify.

Eighty Heavenly Arcana Spiritual Fruits could be considered a great fortune.

"Quick, open the portal!"

Huo Dun yelled in an excited tone.

Once he claimed the eighty Heavenly Arcana Spiritual Fruits there, with more to come when they continued the search in other places, not only would he be rewarded by the Lost Herb Garden, he would also impress Zhan Xiaoxian too!

As for that Duan Qing?

He was nothing compared to him!

BANG BANG BANG!

Everyone rapidly executed their attacks aiming at the curtain!

However, the excitement on their faces slowly vanished as they attacked the curtain, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on their heads!

They discovered that no matter how hard they were attacking, even after using their forbidden arts and Martial Monarch Talismans, the water curtain did not even budge!

"How is this possible? No, stop attacking the water curtain. Let's blow the wall apart instead! That way, we can also enter the hall!"

Huo Dun demanded as he quickly came up with an idea. He immediately attacked the wall nearby with a strong Monarch Art. The rest of the crew followed up with their own attacks!

After a series of explosions, Huo Dun, Ao Sha, and the rest were dumbfounded!

They realized that the wall was incredibly mystifying too. They could not inflict any damage to it apart from leaving some marks!

What the hell was happening?

Weren't they following the golden maps? How could this happen?

The massive fortune was just ahead and they couldn't do anything apart from look at it?

Huo Dun and his crew raised their heads gazing ahead as they were suddenly aware of something.

They could see the same water curtains on the other three sides of the hall, with several cultivators standing behind them.

"Mm?"

The three groups of rogue cultivators were startled when they saw Huo Dun's group, before setting their eyes on the eighty Heavenly Arcana Spiritual Fruits in the hall. Their breathing instantly became heavy as they launched their attacks at the curtain just like what Huo Dun and his people had done.

However, following a series of explosions, the three groups of cultivators were puzzled too.

No matter what methods they used, they were unable to break the curtain nor travel through it.

In other words, they could either withdraw from the place or stand there watching each other.

A moment later, eight more water curtains appeared on both sides of the hall.

These were the remaining eight groups of cultivators who had made their way to the bottom.

Similar to the previous groups, they were stunned at the beginning, before going crazy with their attacks to break through the curtain and ended up with blank faces.

"F**k me!"

"What's happening?"

"Bullsh*t, is this a trap?"

"The map isn't reliable at all. Does that mean it's a scam?"

"I think so too, even Huo Dun's group is trapped as well!"

The forty cultivators pulled long faces and burst out cursing.

They finally understood that the instructions on their maps had all been leading them to a trap.

"I was wondering what went wrong. It seems like all the maps were the same. This place is nothing but a trap. No one will be able to get inside the hall."

Huo Dun let out a relieved sigh and said with confidence.

Even though he did not feel pleasant as he could not claim the treasure, he felt better when he realized that everyone was in the same boat. It would not make Zhan Xiaoxian look down on him.

"Maybe we should go to another place."

Ao Sha said.

Huo Dun and the others nodded and prepared to leave.

The rest of the cultivators behind the curtains shared the same thoughts too.

However, at that instant, a rumble could be heard coming from above the hall. It turned out that someone else was heading toward the hall too.

Huo Dun and the rest of the cultivators halted in their tracks and subconsciously glanced toward the noise.

Another water curtain appeared, and the person standing behind it was Qin Nan.

Qin Nan found himself trapped within a variety of ancient formations as he entered the cave. It took him some time just to break through the formations, thus he was relatively late.

"Brother Duan Qing?"

Zhan Xiaoxian's eyes flickered.

"Duan Qing?"

The rest of the crowd was stunned too.

"Humph, so it's that idiot. Looks like the map he got is nothing special either. He's also trapped behind the water curtain…"

Huo Dun blurted out in a mocking tone when he saw Zhan Xiaoxian's reaction.

"Humph, it's him."

"It's just a fool. Nothing to be worried about. Let's go."

The cultivators cast a disdainful gaze and started moving toward the exit.

However, a surprising scene took place.

Qin Nan was still observing the strange sight in front of him when the water curtain before him slowly split apart on its own.

"This…"

Huo Dun and the others were dumbstruck.
