Chapter: 6039

The hidden compartment at the base suddenly revealed itself before him, containing a very exquisite purple sandalwood box.

Ye Chen knew that this box contained the Four-sided Treasure and the "Nine Heavens Scroll"!

To speed up the battle and make a swift decision, Ye Chen didn't immediately open the box.

He only used spiritual energy to scan it briefly and then immediately sensed two things placed inside.

One was a thick book, which Ye Chen guessed should be a photocopied version of the "Nine Heavens Scroll";

Another thing was a metallic statue-like Buddhist pagoda.

Confirming that there were no problems, Ye Chen unconsciously wanted to withdraw his spiritual energy and quickly leave with the item from the Zhou family's estate.

However, when Ye Chen's spiritual energy swept over the pagoda at that moment, the pagoda seemed to have also detected his existence, followed by a sudden feeling of his spiritual energy being forcibly drawn away by the pagoda without any warning signs.

What he didn't expect was that because his spiritual energy was controlled by his divine consciousness, it was equivalent to an invisible extension of his divine consciousness. Therefore, when the energy was drawn away by the pagoda at that moment, a strand of divine consciousness was also forcibly taken away from his spiritual sea!

At this instant, Ye Chen felt that the world before him had become a mess, with everything gray and obscure except for a faint glow in front of him. In the midst of this chaos, there was no object in sight, as if it were a thick gray fog with a suffocating sense of pressure.

Suddenly, Ye Chen heard a loud rumbling sound and felt the ground shaking beneath his feet. As he was at a loss for what to do, the earth suddenly cracked open several rifts, emitting dazzling golden light from within.

At this moment, Ye Chen's world around him became turbulent, and it was impossible to believe that a four-sided golden treasure tower had emerged from the rifts.

This gold-colored treasure tower radiated a golden glow throughout its body. As more of it revealed itself above ground, the golden glow grew brighter, allowing Ye Chen to gaze at the tower's peak starting from where he was standing, with even the top portion now out of sight.

The four-sided treasure tower looked majestic and awe-inspiring, making people tremble in fear when they saw it.

Just as Ye Chen was astonished, the two gold-colored grand doors on the treasure tower slid open inwardly, emitting a dazzling golden light that made it impossible to see what lay within.

Ye Chen couldn't tell if he was intentionally or unintentionally moving towards the grand door, but his legs were already uncontrollably walking towards it.

The closer he got to the treasure tower's grand door, the more dazzling the golden light became, and Ye Chen felt as if he was staring at an even brighter light than during noon, when the sun is directly overhead. However, he had no idea that when he truly entered the treasure tower, the golden light in front of him would suddenly stop.

His eyes were momentarily blacked out, followed by a sudden sight of a vast open space where thousands of monks were seated and chanting, with an active construction site ahead of them building a four-sided treasure tower. The chief monk sat on a wooden high platform, dressed in a golden robe.

Ye Chen saw the four-sided treasure tower and felt familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time, with a sense of having seen it before. However, he couldn't remember exactly where or when he had seen it.

At this moment, the scene in front of him suddenly sped away from the construction site, flying over the imperial city above.

Ye Chen gazed down at the city, combining his knowledge of history and the data he had read about, and suddenly felt enlightened.

The city before him was none other than Chang'an, which flourished over 1,000 years ago!

It was also in this moment that he finally understood that the four-sided treasure tower he had just seen should be the famous ancient relic of Big Wild Goose Pagoda in present-day Chang'an.

As for himself, what he saw was Big Wild Goose Pagoda during its construction process!

The reason it looked familiar yet unfamiliar was probably because Big Wild Goose Pagoda underwent numerous renovations after its completion, resulting in significant changes to its appearance, features, and even the number of layers. JrNovels.com
