At this moment, the Ye family ancestor's divine sense was attacking Senior Zhang, and Ye Chenming's heart was filled with anxiety. If he angered this senior, his life would be in danger.
Although his cultivation was not high, he came from a large family and had extraordinary knowledge. He naturally understood that a single wisp of divine sense could not defeat a true Nascent Soul monster.
Zhang Ling didn't even look at Ye Chenming. He simply waved his hand and summoned the flying sword back, stroked the blade, and then retracted it into his body.
With another wave of his sleeve, all the black ice shards shattered by the flying sword were gathered towards him. Only then did he turn his head to look at Ye Chenming and asked, "This is also a contingency left by your Ye family ancestor?"
"Senior, please calm your anger. This junior didn't know that the ancestor's divine sense would be left here. The black ice thorns that attacked you earlier were condensed by the ancestor using a secret method called Ice Soul Poison, which was the ancestor's famous technique."
"I see."
Zhang Ling let out a light laugh with a blank expression. He took out a jade box, put all the black ice shards inside, and strode towards the stone door in front.
Seeing that he wasn't blamed, Ye Chenming quickly followed and said, "Senior Zhang, please rest assured, we will definitely not encounter any danger next."
Zhang Ling naturally wouldn't blame him for such a trivial matter. The Ye family ancestor left his divine sense here, obviously to prevent outsiders from arriving.
The black ice thorns released by this divine sense earlier were quite powerful. If a Core Formation cultivator was careless, they could be instantly frozen.
However, this kind of contingency was only useful for resisting cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage. Even if he hadn't been prepared just now and the flying sword had suffered some damage, he could have dealt with a divine sense in an instant.
Arriving in front of the half-open cave door, Zhang Ling reached out and grabbed the fiery red seal and the purple talisman that had fallen on the ground.
He carefully examined the purple talisman. There was no soul power left. The Ye family ancestor's divine sense had already dissipated. Most of these divine senses could only be activated once.
However, when he scanned it with his divine sense, he still found a piece of information.
This information was naturally left by the Ye family ancestor. The general idea was that this treasure vault should not be opened unless absolutely necessary.
The ancestor knew that his lifespan was running out and planned to enter a death seclusion. If he could break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his lifespan could be extended.
If he were to pass away and the Ye family didn't have a new Nascent Soul ancestor to guard them, their power would inevitably be greatly weakened. If they couldn't control Dafeng City, they should abandon that immortal city and become an ordinary cultivation family to avoid attracting powerful enemies.
The treasures here were left for future generations to make a comeback.
After reading this information, Zhang Ling couldn't help but sigh. He probably hadn't expected that the Ye family would suffer several changes not long after his death.
With a flick of his hand, Zhang Ling threw the talisman and the fiery red seal to Ye Chenming. "There is information left by your ancestor inside," he said softly, and then waved his hand again, forming a yellow wind that immediately pushed open the half-open stone door. This time, there were no more obstacles.
He scanned the inside with his divine sense and saw the situation clearly.
Inside was a stone cave that looked like a hall, only about twenty zhang in size. A thick layer of ice mist floated on the ground, and the temperature was much lower than outside.
Zhang Ling looked around and noticed that the walls and floor of the stone cave were paved with ice jade.
Although it was just ordinary ice jade, building such an ice room would cost tens of thousands of spirit stones. There weren't many things inside, there were a dozen boxes of different sizes and several rows of ice jade shelves, with some things placed on them.
The two ice shelves near the stone door were filled with many magical artifacts. They were all above the middle grade, and the top row even had more than twenty top-grade magical artifacts, including several flying magical artifacts.
The other shelves were filled with rows of jade bottles, obviously pills. There were also three shelves specifically for jade slips, books, and other items, with a total of more than a hundred.
In the center of these ice jade shelves, there was a circular ice platform, surrounded by white mist and covered with a layer of white spiritual light, with seven or eight different colored magical treasures floating inside, which were very eye-catching.
Zhang Ling flashed directly to the ice platform and carefully examined it. He scanned each magical treasure with his divine sense and saw that they were all of good quality.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he stared at a bronze halberd about ten feet long.
With a grab of his hand, a ray of spiritual light shot out, turning into a large hand of spiritual light, instantly grabbed the halberd, and pulled it out.
As soon as the bronze halberd left the white light罩, Zhang Ling cast a magic formula on it.
The treasure immediately let out a soft hum and waved in the air with a whooshing sound. Then, it turned into a bronze-colored two-headed giant snake. With a shake of its head and tail, there was a loud bang, directly opening a large hole in the wall in front.
With a thought, the bronze snake flew out again, making a metallic hissing sound. The two huge snake heads spat out fist-sized water balls.
These water balls rotated at high speed, turning into arc-shaped water blades, directly blasting the jade stone wall in front into rubble. Even the several zhang thick layer of ice behind the wall was turned into debris.
"The power is not bad."
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling chuckled. The bronze giant snake shook and turned back into a bronze spear, which he held in his hand.
This treasure was not an ordinary magical treasure, it was an ancient treasure. In terms of attack power alone, it was much higher than the attack power formed by the two or three flying swords he controlled.
If he used it with all his strength, its power would be even greater. Moreover, this treasure could also transform into water blade attacks, making it more suitable for Xuan Gui to use.
"This is... Old Ancestor's Azure Snake Blade." Green light flashed in front of Ye Chenming's chest, and a surprised voice came.
"Oh, you recognize this treasure."
Zhang Ling turned his head to look at Ye Chenming, but he wasn't looking at him, but at the treasure pearl hidden in front of his chest. The one speaking was also the spirit of the middle-aged cultivator residing in the pearl.
With a flash of green light, the pearl flew out of Ye Chenming's arms, and the spirit of the middle-aged cultivator emerged.
"Senior, you flatter me. This junior recognizes this treasure because I have seen its power in the hands of the Old Ancestor. I heard that this treasure was an ancient treasure obtained by the Old Ancestor when he entered the Tianyuan hundreds of years ago. I didn't expect it to be placed here. No wonder I couldn't find it in the clan."
So it was an ancient treasure obtained in Tianyuan.
Zhang Ling carefully examined the bronze halberd in his hand again. It was engraved with circles of water patterns, like strange eyes, or like water vortexes. These strange patterns formed a giant snake pattern, which had a bit of a fierce meaning.
The blade at the top was not bronze, but black gold, and I don't know what it was made of. Holding it in his hand, he could feel that the giant snake pattern on it was actually alive, flowing strangely.
