AFTER 1 HOUR (11.7B, 6M, 107C, 2627S, 3763W, PLS12'583'4938, 2SGLS, 20PS)
"Level 1 Blink: Single" Chen Xiao appeared next to Bai Cangfeng.
"So you defeated it." Bai Cangfeng said.
"Of course, so tell me where is the armoury?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Shouldn't you heal your wounds first. They are looking pretty serious." Bai Cangfeng said. Chen Xiao seem to be bleeding for a very long time, his clothes are drenched in blood.
"What wounds?" Chen Xiao asked in confusion, he is not feeling any pain and his body is functioning normally.
"Here" Bai Cangfeng pull out a mirror from his spatial ring.
"When did I get those wounds... may be that time it went berserk. But they are too severe to be left unnoticed." Chen Xiao can't understand what happened.
"They are not healing." Bai Cangfeng said with concern.
"What do you mean not healing?" Chen Xiao asked in panic.
"The wounds are absorbing the medicines, they seems to be dimensional wounds." Bai Cangfeng replied in alerting tone.
"Dimensional... don't tell me I got them when I use that... what a shitty power?" Chen Xiao cursed, he thought he actually got some incredible defensive power but it wasn't actually that incredible.
"Get ready." Bai Cangfeng warned.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Chen Xiao got terrified when he saw Bai Cangfeng holding butcher's knife.
"We will have to cut out impure part otherwise medicines will not work and you will continue to bleed." Bai Cangfeng explained.
"Understood." Chen Xiao gave in, he has already bleed too much because he wasn't able to differentiate between sweat and blood.
"AHHHHHH... can't you do it quickly so I don't feel pain." Chen Xiao requested.
"I can but we didn't have that luxury as that way you will bleed more before the medicines came into effect." Bai Cangfeng said. Bai Cangfeng only brought a couples of blood serums while Chen Xiao brought none, both of them were clearly overestimating themselves.
"AHHHHHHH!"
.

"Finally done... don't look at me like that,I will piss myself." Chen Xiao was glaring at Bai Cangfeng while releasing intense blood lust.
"Let's go to armoury." Bai Cangfeng suggested to divert Chen Xiao's thoughts.
"Yeah" Chen Xiao agreed.
Both of us spent hours while finding the right door.
"I marked both the passages through which we entered this chamber. That leave us with two passages one marked with a compass and other is a flower. According to data, the compass passage will take up to Compass of Dawn and Dusk. That leaves this flower one. To tell the truth that compass one look more like one with equipments. I just hope this flower passage doesn't lead us to some mummy garden." Bai Cangfeng shared his thoughts.
"Let's go." Chen Xiao straight went to flower passage.
"Are you sure it's this way?" Bai Cangfeng asked.
"No" Chen Xiao replied.
"Good grief." Bai Cangfeng lost hope of getting treasure.
.
.
.
"It's really a treasure room." Bai Cangfeng rushed towards a Top Tier Soul Grade Fire Seed.
"I wish I could have this Soul Grade Seed." Bai Cangfeng said.
"There are also chests full of galaxy Veins. Oh my there 7 Heavenly Veins, now I can breakthrough in every element." Bai Cangfeng almost went crazy with happiness.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
"They are just Inferior Heavenly Veins, only one of them is Medium Heavenly Vein which can actually help you in breakthrough even that when you have Heaven Grade Cultivation Tool."Chen Xiao degraded Bai Cangfeng.
"So?" Bai Cangfeng still didn't understand.
"Level 6 Telekinesis: Scatter." The chamber break into pieces as if it was made up of glass.
"This..." Bai Cangfeng was left speechless.
"A dozen chests full of Galaxy Veins, four chests full of Inferior and Medium Heavenly Veins, one chest full of High quality Heavenly Veins, Top Tier Soul Grade Seeds of Lightning, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, Ice, Poison, Shadow, Water, Medium Heaven Grade Seeds of Water and Earth Elements, Lesser Heaven Grade Seeds of Lightning, Fire, Ice, Wind and Light Elements, a chest full of stone of will, a box full of orb of will, a box of Heaven Grade Cultivation Tools; 3-4 Heaven Grade Elemental Tools for Lightning, Fire, Water, Ice, Light, Earth, Wind, Dimensional and Dark Elements; Heaven Grade Awakening Stones, Heaven Grade Magic Accelerators, Heaven Grade Magic Controllers, 15 Pharoah Springs and lot of other things I don't know about. And we are not splitting the treasure 50-50." Chen Xiao said.
"*Gulp*" Bai Cangfeng gulped a mouthful. The treasure is really something anyone will not like to share, he is done for. Chen Xiao will kill him now.
"Chen Xiao I was thinking, my cultivation is quite good for my age. If I improve too quickly, people might doubt I'm from Black Vatican. You can have all of the treasure." Bai Cangfeng said hopefully to avert the death.
"How cowardly? catch!" Chen Xiao through a Wind Element Tool and a Fire Element Tool at Bai Cangfeng. Then a Cultivation Tool, four Heavenly Veins, a Magic Accelerator and a Magic Controller.
"Take the Heavenly Seeds on your own." Chen Xiao said.
"Both of them?" Bai Cangfeng asked.
"If you want to leave something for future generations then that's your choice." Chen Xiao said.
"Future generations? are you planning to start a clan?" Bai Cangfeng asked.
"No, for my children, then grandchildren and then so on." Chen Xiao said.
"Child with whom? Jiang ShaoXu?" Bai Cangfeng asked teasingly.
"Anyone will do as long as she is Super mage and not too old." Chen Xiao replied.
"So, you don't have feelings for her?" Bai Cangfeng asked surprised.
"Feelings?.... umm.... If she doesn't highlight herself, I might not even care to notice her." Chen Xiao replied.
"That's just messed up, I thought you were playing hard to get." Bai Cangfeng almost pity Jiang ShaoXu, Chen Xiao hasn't changed, he is still immersed in his cultivation.
"Hmph, who have time to play in this world especially when the threat of monsters is increasing immensely." Chen Xiao replied.
"You know my father used to said, you should enjoy what the world offers otherwise when the time come you will regret it." Bai Cangfeng tried to remember his father's words but messed up.
"What does that mean?" Chen Xiao asked.
"I don't know." Bai Cangfeng replied embarrassingly.
"Do you want anything else?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Not now maybe later, I still have to awaken my quaternary element." Bai Cangfeng said.
"Ok" Chen Xiao put all the treasure in his Space Pocket.
"Here" Chen Xiao give Dark contract to Bai Cangfeng.
"None of us will reveal about treasure to third person without consent of your partner in any way." Bai Cangfeng read the contract.
"Is it really important?" Bai Cangfeng asked.
"Just sign it." Chen Xiao said.
"Ok, other than a Forbidden Mage who can take away treasure from you." Bai Cangfeng complaint while signing the contract.
"Let's go." Chen Xiao and Bai exit the armoury.
"The passage with compass mark is the right one." Bai Cangfeng reminded.
"I know... Level 2 Blink: Party" Both of them teleported before the passage.
"Hmm... there doesn't seem to be any Guardian here. That compass must be there on the top." Bai Cangfeng open his wings to fly.
"Wait" Chen Xiao stopped Bai Cangfeng.
"What happened?" Bai Cangfeng asked in confusion.
"There is a Dark Swordmaster up there." Chen Xiao replied.
"Is it strong?" Bai Cangfeng asked in serious tone.
"Not for me. We should wait for others. The gate that will open is gateway to dark plane. That place is even worse than hell. And when we open the gate lot of strong monsters will come out, all of them might get killed by those monsters and their souls will trapped there fo eternity." Chen Xiao explained.
"Holy crap, we are actually doing something this dangerous. Opening gate of Dark Plane!" Bai Cangfeng got goosebumps all over his body, surprisingly he knew about Dark Plane.

"Finally we reach this damn chamber. Now we can leave this hell." Zhao Manyan said everyone's mouth's words.
"Oh there is a mummy here. It looks weak let me take care of it." Zhao Manyan noticed Chen Xiao's dark energy when he was cultivating his Shadow Element.
"Zhao Manyan he is not an... undead..." Shreev tried to say.
"Level 3 Eye of Rock demon: Mountain Hammer: Totem Seal" Zhao Manyan rushed towards Chen Xiao ignoring Shreev.
"Void Wall"
BOOOM! the collision create an explosion. Mountain Hammer was full of cracks but 'Voil Wall' was unscathed.
"Guys this mummy has Space Element, help me." Zhao Manyan know how tricky it is to deal with Space Element, thankfully the team has two space mages.
"Zhao Manyan did your brain rot away in the pyramid. He is not a mummy, he is Chen Xiao." Bai Cangfeng scolded.
"Oh... I was just kidding. Anyways, why are you unscathed and Chen Xiao is in his mummy avatar again?" Zhao Manyan asked
"He..." Bai Cangfeng was about to say something but Chen Xiao stopped him.
"It seems all of you made out alive." Bai Cangfeng turn the topic.
"Were you hoping someone of us die? too bad we were stronger than you assumed us to be." Mo Fan retorted.
"You all are still inside the pyramid. So, there are still chances that some of you might die." Chen Xiao stated. Everyone got goosebumps as they heard Chen Xiao's words. None of them can take on Chen Xiao even if he is injured.
"Hehe... Brother Chen ignore Mo Fan, brain is the last thing he will ever have. Why don't we talk like civilised people?" Zhao Manyan try to contain the situation. He is afraid of Chen Xiao because he has never seen him angry and doesn't know what can he actually do in anger.
"I forgot my civility outside, so none of you better not try me." Chen Xiao warned after all it was Zhao Manyan who provoked him.
"Let's leave this place as quickly as possible. I'm not feeling safe here." Mu Bai urged, unlike Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan and Jiang ShaoXu. Mu Bai is not acquaint with Chen Xiao. He is really afraid of him.
"Right!" Heidi agreed instantly.
"Let's go then." Mo Fan said and start scaling the stairs.

"Why don't you..."
"Wait" Chen Xiao put a vacant space barrier to counter Sound Element.
"Now say." Chen Xiao said.
"She was eavesdropping?" Bai Cangfeng asked.
"Who knows? you continue with your matter." Chen Xiao said.
"Why don't you use Heavenly Vein for breakthrough?" Bai Cangfeng asked aware of Chen Xiao's attempts to breakthrough before leaving the Pyramid which have high density of Dark Element.
"They are too precious to be wasted like that. I have another plan in mind." Chen Xiao replied.
"What's the point of owning the treasure when your are not even using it?" Bai Cangfeng retorted.
"As I said this is for the future generation even that as a last resort if they turn out to be talent less but have passion." Chen Xiao is very well
aware of what is coming and he doesn't want at least his descendants to face helplessness but he does want them to struggle.
"What's your other plan? I will give it a try with my Wind Element which has the highest possibility of reaching Super Tier." Bai Cangfeng asked.
"Top most floor of Three Step Tower is good choice to breakthrough if you have Cultivation and Elemental Tools." Chen Xiao revealed.
BOOOM!
"Seems like cat and mouse game is started." Chen Xiao said after hearing sound of battle.
"They might really die." Bai Cangfeng said with concern.
"You are a Super Tier mage now. Why don't you help them? you will at least be able to help them escape." Chen Xiao scolded.
"I will kill that monarch." Bai Cangfeng declared.
"Are you going to reveal your Heavenly Seed?" Chen Xiao asked.
"Fine I will help them with escape." Bai Cangfeng said not want to reveal his trump card.
"Bai Cangfeng... *pant*... you... *pant* you bastard when did you reach Super Tier..." Zhao Manyan asked while panting.
"What do you think Chen Xiao is doing?" Bai Cangfeng asked.
"Who knows?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"The Dark energy in the Pyramid is quite high and I also have a high quality Dark Elemental Tool, combined effect of both of them helped me in breakthrough of my Curse Element." Bai Cangfeng said, not revealing the details.
"Lucky bastard!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
"Hahaha... come into the pyramid really paid off." Bai Cangfeng laughed in joy when saw everyone's gave full of envy.
"So, Chen Xiao is trying to made breakthrough in his Shadow Element." Heidi guessed.
"Yup" Bai Cangfeng confirmed.
