Chapter 2060: Chapter 2059: Foundation

"What on earth is this monster beast, that it can actually ignore Formations and freely shuttle about beneath ground as hard as iron? And what is the purpose of this group of people, what exactly are they after?" Zhang Xiaohao thought solemnly in his heart.

Seeing that this black worm-like monster beast was about to disappear from his line of sight, Zhang Xiaohao no longer delayed.

His body flickered, hiding in the void, and he gave chase toward the black worm monster beast ahead.

It was fast, but Zhang Xiaohao was even faster.

After a short while, Zhang Xiaohao caught up to this black worm monster beast, keeping two li behind it, the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye locking tightly onto its every move.

He saw that this black worm monster beast seemed extremely familiar with the Divine City of the Bi Mu Divine Race. Under the vast city, it circled according to some kind of pattern. Though it appeared to be going in circles, it still maintained a straight-line advance toward the front.

Roughly three days later.

This black worm monster beast finally stopped beneath the central ground of the Bi Mu Divine Race’s Divine City.

Opposite it, a massive ancient bronze-colored gate emitted an ancient, distant aura. Even separated by a great distance, one could still feel the immense might upon it.

Beside this bronze-colored ancient gate, ten thousand top experts had tightly sealed off the surroundings. A vast pressure radiated from each one of them; the weakest among them was in the Unification Realm.

The leader, clad in cyan battle armor, was actually a Cultivator at Mahayana Peak. Besides him, there were more than one hundred Mahayana Cultivators sitting cross-legged on the ground, firmly guarding the area.

The black worm hid behind a stone wall, quietly squatting there without any further movement. As for those black‑clothed people inside its body, they too made no move. From the look of them, it seemed as if they were waiting for something.

Seeing the black worm monster beast come to a halt, Zhang Xiaohao also found a patch of void to stop in.

His brows furrowed tightly as he pondered inwardly.

"Why did this black worm monster beast stop? Could it be waiting for someone?" Zhang Xiaohao thought carefully.

The more he thought about it, the more likely this seemed. Otherwise, with the powerful defensive lineup ahead, even if there were as many as two hundred of those black‑robed men and every one of them was in the Mahayana Realm, if both sides really started fighting, it was still hard to say who would live and who would die!

Furthermore, this was the central area of the Bi Mu Divine Race. Above them was the City Lord Mansion. Once a battle broke out and the Bi Mu Divine Race’s other hidden trump cards erupted, that group of black‑robed people would have only one ending—certain death.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohao activated the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye and looked toward the surface. Before the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, even with Formations and stone walls hard as iron blocking the way, Zhang Xiaohao’s gaze could not be obstructed.

Under the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, Zhang Xiaohao quickly saw the scene above clearly.

Even across an immense distance, Zhang Xiaohao could feel a tremendous oppressive force from above. In addition, within the City Lord Mansion countless old monsters were hiding. Yet these were not what truly made Zhang Xiaohao’s heart palpitate. In the depths of the City Lord Mansion, there were actually several terrifying existences that surpassed Mahayana Peak.

"Wasn’t it said that all of the Bi Mu Divine Race’s Mahayana cultivators had been taken to the Azure Dragon Royal City by those two old ancestors, Bi Fang and Mufang? How come there are still so many Mahayana Cultivators here? Could it be that the Bi Mu Divine Race is hiding some important treasure that requires this many people to guard it?" Zhang Xiaohao thought solemnly.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Aside from that, he truly couldn’t think of any other reason.

Only this explanation in front of him was the most reasonable and could account for the scene before his eyes.

Withdrawing his gaze, Zhang Xiaohao glanced at the black worm ahead and pondered for a moment. From the looks of it, this black worm monster beast might not act for quite some time. If he continued to wait here, it would be a waste! He might as well take advantage of this period to make a trip to the Divine City’s treasure vault of the Bi Mu Divine Race and clean it out.

"Let’s do it that way!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

Whoosh!

His figure flashed, hiding in the void as he rapidly rushed upward.

In just a short time, Zhang Xiaohao’s figure disappeared from underground. When he appeared again, he had already reached the surface, arriving inside the City Lord Mansion of the Divine City.

The vast Divine City City Lord Mansion stretched over an area of nearly ten million kilometers, yet even so, compared to the entire Divine City, it still seemed extremely small.

From Zhang Xiaohao’s earlier probing, there were two treasure vaults within the City Lord Mansion: one was the City Lord Mansion’s own vault, and the other belonged to the two old ancestors!

Inside the City Lord Mansion, a Mahayana Peak Cultivator was sitting in town. Judging from the aura he released, it was even more vigorous than that of an ordinary Mahayana Peak. It seemed that even if he was not a Cultivator of the Great Mahayana Extreme Realm, his combat strength at the very least could rival one.

"Forget it, I’ll go to the treasure vault of those two old ancestors of the Bi Mu Divine Race first!" After a moment’s thought, Zhang Xiaohao made up his mind.

Without wasting time, his body flickered as he rushed toward the largest palace within the City Lord Mansion.

After a short while, Zhang Xiaohao arrived at the tallest and largest palace in the City Lord Mansion.

Hiding in the void, Zhang Xiaohao gazed at the massive palace before him, his eyes half‑narrowed.

The palace before his eyes was truly enormous, almost piercing straight into the clouds. Strands of powerful Formations and wards intertwined around it, firmly protecting this colossal palace.

Judging from these Formations and wards alone, even if a Cultivator of the Great Mahayana Extreme Realm came, they could forget about breaking them in a short amount of time.

Beneath this vast palace stood an army of ten thousand troops, guarding it tightly and forming an ironclad encirclement. Even a fly would find it impossible to slip in here without a sound.

"The defenses are indeed strict, but they’re still a bit lacking if they want to stop me!" Zhang Xiaohao shook his head and said.

Whoosh!

His figure flickered and he directly plunged into this enormous palace.

Throughout the entire process, not even the slightest ripple was stirred. None of the Formations or wards were alarmed, and the guards below were utterly unaware. As for the anti‑flight restrictions in the air, in front of Zhang Xiaohao they were nothing but decoration.

Once inside the palace, Zhang Xiaohao’s brows knitted. The immense pressure he had sensed earlier became even stronger! It was as if, before him, even heaven and earth had to kneel and bow their heads in submission.

But for Zhang Xiaohao, it still posed no pressure at all.

Following the location he had investigated beforehand, Zhang Xiaohao headed toward the treasure vault within the palace.
