Yuan nodded, and he suddenly asked, "How are the guests doing? Did they manage to clear the tower yet?"

Elder Xuan shook his head and spoke with a smile on his face, "No, but one of them managed to reach the 100th floor. You didn’t tell me about the dragon."

"Oh... I forgot... I’m sorry." Yuan said.

"Hahaha... Don’t worry about it. It was a pleasant surprise. We won’t blame you for it." Elder Xuan laughed out loud.

Sometime later, Elder Xuan left the place, leaving Yuan alone at Dragon’s Peak.

"What am I supposed to do here? Just sit down and cultivate?" Yuan mumbled to himself since Elder Xuan didn’t exactly give him any instructions.

"By the way, Xiao Hua, can you see the treasure in this place with your Divine Sense? I couldn’t sense anything." Yuan suddenly asked her.

"No, Xiao Hua cannot sense anything either. The people in this place should’ve already swept this entire place with their Divine Sense, anyway, so either there’s no treasure in this place or it cannot be found through normal means."

"Through normal means? How else can we locate a treasure besides our Divine Sense?" Yuan asked.

"There are treasures that can locate other treasures. There are also magical beasts with special senses that allow them to pick up treasure. There are even powerful arrays that can pinpoint treasures as long as it’s within the array. There are many methods one can use to locate treasures. However, unless they’re incredibly incompetent, the people of this sect should’ve already tried all of these methods throughout the years."

"If that’s the case, perhaps there really is no treasure in this place, and this abundant spiritual energy is merely a natural phenomenon?" Yuan said.

"No, there’s definitely a treasure in this place." Xiao Hua suddenly said. "Xiao Hua just analyzed the flow of the spiritual energy in this place, and it’s not natural. Something here is attracting the spiritual energy to this place."

"Really? Then can you pinpoint what is causing this phenomenon?"

"No, Xiao Hua cannot find anything no matter how much she tries. Maybe one requires a special technique or treasure to find the treasure." Xiao Hua said.

"Hmmm? Special technique...?" Yuan raised his eyebrows as though he’d realized something.

’What if it’s a treasure that can only be seen with the Dragon’s Gaze? After all, the Founder also knew of this technique...’ Yuan thought to himself.

With that in mind, Yuan activated the Dragon’s Gaze and proceeded to look around. However, he found nothing out of the ordinary.

’Nothing? Maybe it’s in a different area since this place seems very big.’

Thus, Yuan proceeded to walk around the Dragon’s Peak as though he was taking a stroll while his eyes glowed gold and emitted an ancient aura.

"Nothing here..."

"Nothing out of the ordinary here either..."

Yuan spent the next two hours walking around the peak, but alas, he couldn’t find the treasure.

’Perhaps there is really no treasure in this place? But Xiao Hua said there’s definitely something manipulating the flow of spiritual energy in this place, hence the abundance of spiritual energy.’

After pondering for a moment, Yuan wondered if he needed to activate Divine Sense as well as Dragon’s Gaze, so he proceeded to walk around the Dragon’s Peak for the second time, but this time, he had both Dragon’s Gaze and Divine Sense activated.

"Still nothing?" Yuan was truly puzzled now.

The Dragon’s Peak was spacious but also very empty, so there are very few places one can hide a treasure.

The treasure could be hidden underground, but not even Xiao Hua could find the treasure with her Divine Sense that’s powered by the cultivation of a Spirit King, so that was unlikely.

"If it’s not hidden on the surface or underground, there’s only one more place..."

Yuan slowly tilted his head until he was staring at the sky. However, there was nothing there.

"..."

After taking a deep breath, Yuan activated the Dragon’s Gaze again.

"T-T-This is..."

Yuan subconsciously took a few steps back with a shocked look on his face when he saw the thing flying above the Dragon’s Peak.

"What’s the matter, Brother Yuan?" Xiao Hua asked him since she couldn’t see anything in the sky.

Yuan pointed at the sky with his entire arm trembling, and he said, "There... There is a huge glowing dragon flying in the sky!"

"What? Xiao Hua cannot see anything in the sky," she quickly said.

"I am not lying! It’s really there! It’s circling around the area like a guardian of some sorts!" Yuan hastily said.

"..."

No matter how hard she tried to look, Xiao Hua couldn’t see the dragon Yuan was talking about.

"Can you describe it, Brother Yuan?" she then asked.

"It’s at least one... no, two hundred meters in length, and it doesn’t appear to have a physical body— only a golden outline. It resembles the Great One I saw on the 100th floor in the tower." Yuan described the dragon to the best of his abilities.

"That sounds like..." Just as Xiao Hua opened her mouth to speak, Yuan suddenly said in a surprised voice.

"Oh, it just noticed me... and it’s looking directly at me."

Yuan looked at the golden dragon in the sky that was also staring back at him with a profound gaze.

After a few moments of silence and stillness, suddenly, the dragon began moving.

"Eh?" Yuan’s eyes widened with shock when he saw the dragon start to fly at him like a meteor, immediately sending chills down his spine.
