Chapter 578 Mysterious Beads

"Master, I finally found it!" The clone's voice came through the mind connection, with a hint of excitement and eagerness that was difficult to conceal.

Chen Ze was slightly stunned and sent a voice back: "What did you find?" He was a little confused, and the clone's words seemed too vague.

"Master, it's the treasure map you gave me before. I finally found the destination marked on the map." The clone's voice was full of excitement.

Chen Ze frowned and tried to recall: "Treasure map? Which treasure map?" He didn't have much memory of this matter.

"Master, have you forgotten?

It was the treasure maps we got from Ye Kai after the fight that time.

Didn't you give me one to explore?

After so much effort, I finally found the clue." The clone tried to evoke Chen Ze's memory while explaining.

With the reminder of the clone's words, Chen Ze finally found this almost dusty past in the depths of his memory.

It was true, but it was a long time ago, and he was now in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. He had long forgotten the treasures left by the Jindan Realm cultivators, so he had forgotten about the treasure map.

I remember that the place indicated by the treasure map should be in the north of the Dagan Dynasty. It took the clone so long to find it, and it was also hard for the clone.

"Oh, so it was this matter." Chen Ze responded lightly, and he did not have much expectation for the treasure that the treasure map could guide the clone to find.

After all, with his current cultivation and vision, it is unlikely that the treasures left by the Jindan Realm cultivators would be able to catch his eye.

However, considering the clone's hard work and excitement, and the fact that the previous treasure map also allowed him to obtain a top-grade spiritual vein and a mine, there is still a little expectation now.

He immediately expressed a certain concern: "Since you have found it, then go and see what is there."

The clone heard Chen Ze's answer, and a ripple of excitement appeared in his heart.

He knew that his master had already entered the late stage of the God Transformation Realm, so he naturally wouldn't care too much about the treasure map left by the Jindan Realm cultivator.

But for him, this was not only a treasure-hunting adventure, but also an opportunity to prove his ability and share the worries of his master.

"Master, I will try my best to explore this treasure land. Perhaps there are some unexpected secrets hidden there. I will act carefully and ensure safety." The clone revealed firmness and caution in the voice transmission.

"Well, be careful and report any situation at any time." Chen Ze's tone was indifferent, but he showed his concern for the clone.

The clone felt warm in his heart when he heard the master's instructions. He knew that he was not fighting alone, and there was a powerful backer like Chen Ze behind him.

He quickly prepared to set off, turned into a beam of light, and flew in the direction indicated by the treasure map.

Chen Ze ended the contact with the clone. Although he was not optimistic about this treasure hunt, he couldn't help but have some expectations.

......

Before contacting Chen Ze, the clone had followed the guidance of the treasure map, crossed numerous mountains and dense forests, and finally came to a hidden valley.

In the center of the valley stood an ancient stone gate, engraved with intricate runes, indicating that this was a prehistoric relic forgotten by the world.

When the relic was discovered, the clone knew that the place he had been looking for had finally arrived, and immediately contacted Chen Ze to tell him the good news.

After receiving Chen Ze's instructions, the clone began to try to enter the ancient ruins, but also kept in touch with Chen Ze.

"Master, this seems to be a cave of an ancient cultivator." His voice was filled with a hint of shock and expectation.

Chen Ze heard this and couldn't help but feel a little interested: "Oh? Then go in and take a look, be careful."

The clone responded, and then focused on studying the runes on the stone door.

After some effort, he finally found a way to open the stone door.

It turned out that the treasure map was the key to open the stone door.

The clone no longer hesitated and immediately put the treasure map close to the stone door.

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the surface of the stone door, and the treasure map slowly merged into it.

Seeing this, the clone took a step back and observed the changes in the stone door.

With a slight vibration, the gap in the stone door gradually widened, revealing a staircase leading to the underground.

"Master, the stone door is open, I'm going to go in and take a look."

"Go!" Chen Ze responded to the clone tirelessly, and really responded to every sentence and every matter.

"Yes, master."

The clone took a deep breath and walked down the stairs carefully.

I saw that the two sides of the passage were full of various traps, and there seemed to be some formations that eliminated spiritual energy. Obviously, this was once a place for a cultivator to practice.

But these were not difficult for the clone. After all, he was a cultivator in the realm of transformation. Without the restrictions of those formations, some small mechanisms could be easily broken.

After easily breaking these mechanisms along the way, the clone finally came to a spacious basement.

There was a stone table and several stone benches neatly arranged in the basement, and some simple paintings and writings hung on the wall, giving it a simple and ancient style.

However, what attracted the clone's attention the most was a jade box on the stone table.

He walked forward and gently opened the jade box, only to see a crystal clear bead lying quietly in the jade box, which seemed to be whispering and emitting a faint halo.

"Master, I found an unusual bead, maybe a treasure." The clone hurriedly reported to Chen Ze.

After hearing the description, Chen Ze's heart moved, box? Treasure?

Why did it feel a bit like the Chaos Spirit Treasure at that time? He was suddenly happy in his heart, and he didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

"Bring it back to me."

"Yes, Master."

The clone responded, and then carefully took the bead out of the jade box.

After getting the bead, he looked around and found that in addition to the stone table and the jade box, there were some quaint bookshelves in the basement, but there was nothing on the bookshelves, and there were no other items in the entire basement.

Just as the clone was about to put the bead into the space of all things, the bead in his hand suddenly burst out with a strange energy, covering him whole.

The clone was startled and felt something was wrong, and immediately wanted to throw the bead out.

But the bead seemed to be sucked into his hand, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter how he shook it.

Then, the strange energy emanating from the bead became stronger and stronger.

In an instant, this strange energy filled the entire basement.

The next moment, the strange energy dissipated, but the figure of the clone also disappeared.

However, the bead in the jade box magically returned to the jade box by itself.

When the jade box closed automatically, the entire basement fell into endless darkness, as if no one had ever been here.

At the same time, the mechanism in the downward passage when the clone came in was also magically restored at this time, as if it had never been touched.

At this moment, time seemed to flow backwards.

The stone door opened with the treasure map also slowly closed.

Everything returned to silence, as if waiting for the arrival of the next destined person.
