Chapter 475: Chapter 474: The Skull in the Treasury

“The tree that supports the world has always hidden within a spatial interlayer to protect itself, and it appears when necessary to defend this world from external enemies.”

“The World Tree, as the core energy source of the world, cannot be destroyed by ordinary means. Note: It may be corroded by some unusual energy.”

“As one branch of the World Tree is polluted, the rules of the world will also become damaged, and cracks will appear within the world.”

Seeing the explanation about the World Tree from the World Mystery, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

If he wanted to protect the world, he would definitely need to focus on the World Tree.

Initially, learning about the World Guardian from Yuan Yu, he was sure they would know where the World Tree is located.

If he wanted to find the World Tree in the future, he could ask Yuan Yu.

Thinking this, Lu Zixun felt more certain, his gaze landing on An Xiao: “From what you’re saying, your Elf Clan knows the location of the World Tree?”

The Elf Clan must rely on the power of the World Tree to awaken their Spiritual Energy.

From An Xiao’s confident tone, awakening Spiritual Energy seemed not to be a particularly difficult issue for the Elf Clan.

Upon hearing this, An Xiao nodded calmly and said, “Yes, our tribe has a Spiritual Tool that can locate the World Tree, but for some reasons, I cannot tell you more.”

Lu Zixun expressed understanding toward An Xiao’s inability to divulge more information.

After all, no one knew if ears were listening in on their conversation.

“Can we go into the vault now? I want to see if there’s anything other than Frost Heart.”

An excited Zhuo Xiu eagerly asked.

At least upon arriving in Trial Land, obtaining Shadow Poem had dramatically changed his abilities.

That’s why Zhuo Xiu was now so expectant.

Seeing Zhuo Xiu’s eagerness, Lu Zixun shook his head and laughed: “Let’s go, let’s go, look at you, so anxious.”

The elevator hidden within the cables was not electrically powered as Lu Zixun had imagined.

Instead, it relied on manually turning a wheel to ascend and descend.

Lu Zixun was initially puzzled by this.

Thinking it over, he came to terms with it, as using electricity would not allow for the effect of concealment.

Upon arriving at the underground vault, a large door emerged in front of Lu Zixun and the others, with the Frost Heart embedded at its center.

“Lord Xun, that’s another thousand points for the taking.”

Zhuo Xiu, who was just about to retrieve the Frost Heart, was stopped by Lu Zixun.

“Wait.”

Lu Zixun, observing the vault door closely with furrowed brows said: “This Frost Heart seems to be the core mechanism for opening the vault door.”

Hearing this, Zhuo Xiu paused his footsteps, scanning the vault door, and then noticed something unusual.

The Frost Heart is a type of Spiritual Power Core, capable of supplying Spiritual Energy to activate magic on the surrounding Spiritual Energy Traces.

And there were several irregularly shaped Spiritual Energy Traces around the Frost Heart embedded at the center of the vault door.

While Zhuo Xiu was thinking of how to open the door, Lu Zixun approached the area around the Frost Heart and started to rotate the Spiritual Energy Traces.

“Click, click, click.”

Under the movement of Lu Zixun, the initially irregular Spiritual Energy Traces began to rotate, connecting to the surrounding Spiritual Energy Traces.

“Is this a puzzle?”

Seeing a shape forming around him, yet still unclear of what exactly it was, Zhuo Xiu muttered.

It truly was, as Zhuo Xiu had said, the entire vault door, aside from the center’s Frost Core, was rotatable around it, making it just right to call it a puzzle.

Under the three’s constant adjustments, a galaxy appeared on the treasury’s door, the flickering lights looking staggeringly beautiful, drawing them into an almost addictive trance.

“It’s actually quite pretty.”

After staring at it for a while, Lu Zixun commented.

He stepped back a few paces, took out his cellphone, and snapped a photo, planning to show it to Lin Siyin after they left.

“Click.”

The moment the Galaxy Map appeared, the treasury door slowly opened, and the Frost Heart dropped to the ground and was collected by Zhuo Xiu.

Once the treasury door was fully open, the stunning Galaxy Map lost its luster, turning dull and dim.

“What a pity.”

Zhuo Xiu smacked his lips and shook his head, “Such a beautiful thing, yet it only exists for such a short time.”

Glancing at Zhuo Xiu, Lu Zixun said with a smirk, “Then we won’t go inside, we’ll just enjoy it from outside the treasury for a while, and then leave.”

“Ah, let it fade then,” said Zhuo Xiu with an embarrassed smile, righteously claiming, “I’ve already taken pictures, we can still appreciate it.”

Lu Zixun shook his head and said nothing.

Zhuo Xiu is just a jokester, completely lacking the cold demeanor of a perfect killer.

Looking up at the pitch-black treasury, Lu Zixun didn’t enter right away.

Instead, he took out a Spirit Light Stick and threw it inside after charging it with Spiritual Energy.

The Spirit Light Stick flickered with red light, illuminating the dark treasury, allowing Lu Zixun to see inside.

The surrounding ground was stacked with some armor and weapons. Upon coming closer and realizing they were just ordinary items, Lu Zixun shook his head, no longer interested.

It seemed like the treasury’s items didn’t hold much value, the good stuff must be further inside.

Zhuo Xiu held the Spirit Light Stick as they walked deeper into the treasury.

They could see many documents about the Snow Domain World around them, which Lu Zixun also collected to study later.

“What is that?”

Gazing at two flickering red dots deep inside the treasury, An Xiao instinctively hid behind Lu Zixun.

The unknown is always the greatest fear, especially when two red dots suddenly appear in the pitch-black darkness.

Zhuo Xiu turned on his tactical flashlight and swept over it, discovering it was a huge skull; the red dots were its eyes.

“Fog Grass.”

Clearly startled, Zhuo Xiu couldn’t help but curse.

Who keeps a head in a treasury?

As a decoration?

“What are you afraid of, it’s a dead skull.”

Lu Zixun said flatly, squinting at the skull.

It was hard to imagine, if the creature’s head was this big, what would the body look like?

Raising an eyebrow, Lu Zixun activated Heavenly Eye and scanned it.

“Ding—Skull of the Beast Giant, capable of resurrection.”

“This is the weapon sealed by the Snow Domain World!” An Xiao’s pupils contracted, his voice trembling, “This is supposed to be a projected world, so how can it appear here?”

“Good question,”

A chilling voice came from behind the skull.
