874: Chapter 59: What Decent Person Keeps a Diary?

The Sacrificial Grand Hall located midway up the mountain was majestic and solemn, standing against the frost and winds for centuries, with its gray outer walls covered in dense patterns of wind erosion and frost marks.

It was once the holy hall where the Jiamu Sect prayed to the Dragon God, and now it is also the true center of power for the Jiamu Sect, with the chieftain’s residence and the priests’ prayer halls all built around it.

Besides, the hall itself is also a fortress that goes deep into Jiamu Mountain, capable of sheltering a significant number of Mountain People from possible downpours and calamities in times of crisis.

There are Sublimators stationed here.

Previously, when Ian was observing, he saw three deep blue mists within the hall.

These were the priests of the Jiamu Sect.

The inheritance of the Sublimators among the Mountain Tribes is systematic only for two lines: the chieftain’s Bloodline and the priests’ Bloodline or True Form.

Whichever is stronger is the real tribal ruler in essence, but more often it follows a cycle based on age and inheritance.

Of course, there are also cases where the chieftain and the priest are the same person.

For instance, in the Abode Tribe, Elder Mantle held both roles and was thus known as The Great Elder.

However, now, due to the chaos in the Alchemy Workshop, all three priests have gone to assess the situation.

They sense that something is amiss.

The movements of the Ironwing Dragons had already confused them, and now, the chaos within their own tribe had made the leading priest vigilant.

— Staying would definitely lead to disaster, need to get out fast!

Leave someone to guard the Grand Hall?

What a joke!

The opponent evidently holds the Second Energy Level, and all three of them are at the First Energy Level; they must stick together at all times, rally the troops, and use the heavy firepower and alchemical weapons supported by Fiery Flame Land to pose a threat to the enemy.

Right now, it is most important to ensure the people’s safety.

As for potential losses…

the secret vault in the hall is hidden deep, even if someone is at the Second Energy Level, it would take them quite a while to find it, and they would not be able to open it even if they found it.

If the intruder does not leave but gets greedy for more, then they will surely be caught by the many Inscription traps and patterns within the hall, and be surrounded by the great army they mobilize!

At that time, when the Ironwing Dragons return, they might even be able to claim great credit!

This was indeed the correct decision.

Ian, who has arrived at the entrance of the Grand Hall, doesn’t mind killing a few more Jiamu Sect Sublimators along the way, but since they have already left, he is not going to waste time trying to hunt them down in the tribe.

At this moment, Ian had already placed the Elemental Crystal Condenser in the rear mountains of the Chonglin Tribe, leaving a signal device to guide the way.

Green Tide and the others will soon arrive, and the local Priest Fiotto will also lead those from his tribe willing to join the Xia Hui Territory, covering the convoy transporting the goods.

The reason he returned to the Jiamu Sect was to see what good things are in the deeply-hidden vault of the Jiamu Sect, which has received support from Fiery Flame Land and looted several defeated tribes’ storages!

“Green mists, Third Energy Level, there are two of them.

The place is indeed full of traps; aren’t they afraid of triggering them accidentally?”

With the Spirit Energy Halo twinkling in his eyes, Ian has laid all the secrets of the hall bare.

Can’t find the secret vault?

Can’t see the traps?

You should know that after Ian awakened Foresight View, the first thing he did was observe his little brother and search for Sleep Powder.

It’s right up his alley.

The secret vault is situated behind and to the side of the Grand Hall, underneath a Dragon God Statue.

On normal days, the entrance is concealed by the statue and requires a special key to activate the mechanism and move the statue.

Ian could use brute force, but he is too lazy to waste the energy, so he scans the structure with a Silver Chip and quickly forms a key using nearby dust and ice.

Clang.

The key melts and the many dangerous Inscription traps are also disarmed, the Dragon God Statue slowly rotates to the left, revealing a gate leading deep into Jiamu Mountain.

Ian steps through.

The downward passage is narrow at the beginning but soon opens up—a natural cavern beneath the hall, with waves of white cold air almost solidifying, clinging to the ground like clouds.

It was originally meant to be the Jiamu Sect’s storage for reserve food, but with the tribe’s expansion, the cavern was covered over by the Grand Hall, turning it into a hidden vault.

The warehouse is filled with dense shelves, extremely cold, about minus fifty-two degrees, with an Inscription Circuit continuously operating to cool down, and rows of sealed storage cabinets neatly placed on either side of the cavern.

This is quite similar to the storage rooms Ian saw in the Abode Tribe; it seems the Mountain People have indeed similar architectural planning for such spaces.

At that moment, Ian suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.

The Ancient Dragon Heart Core shudders slightly, causing the young man to pause, he attentively senses, and then the corner of his mouth lifts: “Looks like there’s definitely going to be a big haul this time.”

The last time the Ancient Dragon Heart Core trembled was when Ian acquired the Brain Marrow Crystal of the Swamp Crocodile Dragon.

As a material from an Earth Dragonblood Beast, the Brain Marrow Crystal could be used to repair the structural damage of the Ancient Dragon Heart Core, and there’s a similar Dragon Blood material in the Jiamu Sect’s vault that’s causing the Core to tremble.

The green Spirit Energy Radiance lights up in his eyes, and for a moment, the initially dark and dull cavern is transformed into an ethereal realm of interwoven green and purple, where light mists that look like the auroras or rosy clouds wander and intertwine, forming a breathtaking picture.

Ian walks slowly past each storage cabinet, able to see through the sealed cabinets and observe the many treasures meticulously preserved within.
