Chapter 286: Chapter 286- Ancient Stele (3)

"Unggh~... there I finished it. You can’t say I have a sophisticated taste anymore"

Tang Xun’er looked at him while making a victorious face. It seemed like she took it personally what he said about her earlier.

"I see, clearly I was wrong about you. If you can eat food like this for a couple more days, you will easily get used to it"...

"Eh? A couple more days? You mean I have to eat food like this from now on?"...

"Of course, the ancient sect isn’t going to open before five days. As such, we have to stay and eat food like this till then"

Yang Chen’s words, caused Tang Xun’er to be shocked. It appeared that she thought that she would only have to eat food like this once. It was only after Yang Chen pointing it out did she realise that this was just the starting.

Her shock was evident, as could be seen from her quickly paling face, hidden under the hood.

Yang Chen grinned seeing her innocent reaction. While he chattered with Tang Xun’er, he did not forget about his other mission, the one he came here for.

The main reason for booking an inn was to collect information. His sharp senses gifted by his heavenly physique, allowed him to pick up information from all the nearby tables.

Since the opening of the ancient sect was a hot topic, needless to say, everyone was talking about it.

"Did you know that yesterday a sect tried to forcibly enter the ancient ruins?"

As he was sifting through the information while brushing off the useless ones, suddenly an interesting piece of topic caught his attention. The speakers were the two people sitting at the table adjacent to him.

"What?! That is news to me. Don’t they know that one cannot enter the ancient sect unless the protection array weakens? It is said that the protection array is extremely ancient and profound and uses the sun’s energy to power itself"

"Five days from now when the sun would be eclipsed, it would be the time when the protection arrays weaken. Only then can we all enter. Trying to enter the ancient sect before that is pure stupidity. That is unless they found the hidden entrance like that person from the Xuan Sect"

Spoke the other person seated at that table.

"How can it be so easy to find a hidden entrance? That Xuan Sect member was extremely lucky to have stumbled upon one. He was the one who discovered the existence of the ancient sect and made it public"

"However, even he said that the inside of the ancient sect is more tricky and dangerous than the outside. If not because he was not confident in his strength to go further, he wouldn’t have come out with just those few treasures. Neverhtless, thanks to him we were able to learn that there is a pill hall and a Soul Spiritual Tree there" said the first person.

"You are right, finding a hidden entrance is no easy task. That Xuan sect member got lucky. It is said that he and his clan went back to that area again. However, the hidden entrance had already disappeared by then... Haha"

The second person laughed, taking joy at the misery of the others.

"Anyways, what happened to that sect who tried to forcibly enter into the ancient sect?".

The first person blinked his eyes "Need you even ask? Of course, they were all mercilessly repelled back by that protection array just like all the other sects who tried to do the same before. I heard that they even incurred some casualties because they incurred the wrath of the protection array"...

"Haha, serves them right".

Yang Chen’s ears picked up a few titbits of interesting information. It appeared that the reason why everybody was aware of the ancient sect was due to the Xuan Sect member who had luckily stumbled into a hidden entrance and found the existence of the ancient sect.

From what Yang Chen made sense of the information he had just received, was that this Xuan sect member was the very same person who was auctioning the treasures that he got from the ancient sect.

After the first interesting piece of information, Yang Chen became even more enthusiastic and spread his sense even further. Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait long to hear more pieces of important information.

To sum it all up, he was able to find out where the entrance to the ancient sect was and when the desert auction would start.

Contrary to what they thought, the ancient sect wasn’t within the desert ruins but inside a separate space.

In the centre of the desert ruins, there was a huge monolith that was made of an unknown material and looked quite ancient with time leaving its mark.

Many people had once probed this monolith; however, they all ended up getting no response. As such, they all thought it was just another ancient relic.

Had it not been for that Xuan sect member, nobody would have known that it was actually an artefact with its own separate space.

The ancient sect was located inside that space. An artefact with its own separate space. How powerful did an artefact need to be, to be able to do that? What grade or star was it?

Naturally, these thoughts popped inside his head. Yang Chen decided to ask Amon about it later.

Anyways, the monolith was protected by an ancient array and one could only enter it once the protection array weakened. That is five days from now on the day of the eclipse.

As for the other piece of news, the Desert auction was going to be open one day before the opening of the ancient sect. That is to say, four days from now. It would be held by the Star Dragon Chamber, a powerful and influential auction house from the capital that had their branches in almost all the major cities of the Tianyun Empire.
