Raid Before Their Eyes, Blind Picks from the Treasure Vault, Two Divine Artifacts!
"Achoo!"
Royal City, within the Fuming Envoy Manor.
Zhao Xing, who was taking stock of the treasures, suddenly sneezed.
"Huh? I've already reached this level, why am I suddenly sneezing?"
"Is he having a relapse?"
Zhao Xing was extremely vigilant.
Strong people generally don't get sick, and when they do, it's a serious illness.
"Introspect the Five Elements, observe the movement of Qi throughout the body!"
Zhao Xing immediately examined his physical condition carefully.
He was able to write the Great Circuit Treatise the Three Yin, Three Yang, and Six Qi," which refers to the internal Five Elements and Six Qi, which are the six qi of the body.
They are also quite sensitive to certain illnesses.
The Dragon Court Ancient Land is, after all, a world very different from the outside world. Zhao Xing carefully examined it but found nothing unusual.
"If you're not sick, then someone's got their eye on you."
Zhao Xing then used the "Five Finger Heavenly Mandate" technique, calculating with his fingers.
A sense of unseen connection came through me, and a blurry scene appeared before my eyes.
"Giant rocks everywhere, isn't this the Giant Stone Vault I just visited?"
If you haven't been there, it's difficult to determine useful information from just these simple pictures.
But Zhao Xing had just been there, so he naturally made the judgment very quickly.
"Someone has gone." Zhao Xing increased his strength, instantly depleting most of his energy, and then he saw several blurry figures.
There were five figures in total, each carrying a coffin on their back.
One of the purple figures is roaring to the sky at the original site of the Giant Stone Vault.
"Could it be that the Corpse Puppet Sect has arrived?"
"I see—this person must be a powerful figure from the Corpse Puppet Sect."
"I've been held against by someone at the Heavenly Luck Realm?"
Zhao Xing ended the spell and looked at the almanac again. After calibration, the almanac was now the version from the Dragon Court Ancient Land.
The above also indicates. "Unexpected wealth may appear, but misfortune may lurk in the east; Minor Misfortune."
"It doesn't matter, they can't do anything to me in the royal city anyway."
Zhao Xing put away the almanac and walked to Cao Qianyue's side.
"How?"
Cao Qianyue was using a Hundred Skill Square to pry open an old-fashioned box.
"It's quite difficult to drive."
Cao Qianyue's eyes didn't leave the box; the light on it rippled in waves.
"These are all ancient mustard Magic Array; the Great Zhou rarely teaches this type of mechanical Magic Array technique."
Old Master Zhao, now quite wealthy, said nonchalantly, "It's alright, don't feel pressured. If it really comes down to it, just break it open by force."
Forcibly breaking it open can easily damage the contents inside.
The Dragon Race's Fu Ming craftsmen, after all, were unfamiliar with Human Race Magic Array. In their eyes, Human Race boxes were as small as grains of rice.
Large formations are easy to break, but more fragile structures like the treasure chest of the Puppet Household Sect are more difficult to deal with. Zhao Xing had previously asked Cao Qianyue to work together and had prepared tools to break them in advance, precisely to deal with this situation.
Although Cao Qianyue is big, he is very skillful with his hands.
His hands had been modified; five flat pry barbs suddenly extended from the nail of his left hand and were inserted into the small hole exposed in the box.
He picked up the hammer with his right hand, and suddenly four top-like metal pieces came off the convex side of the hammer.
"Rise!"
Suddenly, five different lights emanated from Cao Qianyue's left hand. The originally perfectly round square box suddenly sprang up, revealing a half-finger gap, but a force was pressing down, trying to close the treasure chest again.
"This this this this~"
The four spinning tops were immediately inserted into the gap in the center of the box and began to spin rapidly, forming a pin.
"The Four Directions Palace Shifting Instrument, that's pretty impressive, Xiao Cao."
Zhao Xing watched Cao Qianyue unpack the box with great interest. It has to be said that men simply cannot resist such a scene.
"Dumb, dumb, dumb~"
"Rise!"
The box floated up and trembled continuously.
The main gate is wide open!
But Cao Qianyue no longer had a third hand to reach inside the box.
"My Marquis, please lend a hand!"
Cao Qianyue's face flushed red.
"How do I operate it?"
"Touch the box."
Zhao Xing nodded and quickly had his Straw Man Clone reach inside and grab the two items.
"Is it empty, my Marquis?"
"It's empty!"
!
Cao Qianyue immediately stopped, and the four palace-turning instruments suddenly pushed back, quickly withdrawing.
"!"
The box suddenly stopped and then sealed tightly again.
Kakakaka~
Zhao Xing could hear the internal mechanisms rattling and wreaking havoc.
In the blink of an eye, the half-person-high box collapsed, dented, emitted a puff of smoke, and turned into powder.
Hu Cao Qianyue wiped his sweat.
Zhao Xing lifted the things in his hands and couldn't help but laugh, "Not bad, Dun Lie. I didn't expect you to be so good at unpacking."
The two treasures in his hands were leather scrolls. Zhao Xing judged from the Dragon Race script that they should be very ancient Dragon Race art collections.
It may not have much practical value, but it's valuable!
Dragon King Yin Xiu's favorite collectibles are these kinds of antique items, just like Ritual Cultivator's love for collecting ancient calligraphy and paintings.
The mechanism of the magic box that holds it is of high quality. It can be cracked using the Four Directions Palace Shifting Instrument, which is the skill of Third Grade craftsman. It is quite remarkable that Cao Qianyue was able to open it.
Military Works Department are versatile, and Cao Qianyue is a genius in this field.
"Hehe, Mr. Marquis has given you the reward." Cao Qianyue smiled honestly. "My speed is still too slow."
"You can drive here," Zhao Xing said with a smile. "If you get tired or hungry, Long Jing, you can eat whatever you want, as much as you want!"
"Thank you, Marquis!" Cao Qianyue nodded excitedly. He cultivated the Gluttony Art, and now eating other things didn't improve his cultivation much. However, Dragon Crystal was something he had never eaten in the outside world, and it had a significant effect. Zhao Xing told him to eat as much as he wanted, so of course he was happy.
Zhao Xing patted Cao Qianyue on the shoulder and walked out with a smile.
Cao Qianyue stayed at the mansion to unlock the door and take inventory.
He continued to lead a team of Fu Ming dragon craftsmen to explore the secret treasures.
"It's the fourth day since we entered the Dragon Court, so there probably aren't many people who randomly end up in the Guting Royal City."
"The earlier you open it, the more good stuff you'll get."
"If we wait until there are more people, they'll open it themselves."
The Dragon King Yin Xiu was right there, and Zhao Xing could exchange for it anytime, so he wasn't in a hurry.
He estimated that he had only accumulated enough for one exchange opportunity.
If there's anything to requisition, then requisition as much as possible.
"Walk!"
Sensing a movement from one of the Ten Thousand Laws Clone, Zhao Xing immediately set off with Long Jiang.
The royal city is vast; as the capital of the Dragon Race, the area of the royal palace alone is the size of a prefecture.
If you include the administrative area of the capital city, it's almost half a state.
However, despite the large area, there are not many suitable places to build a warehouse.
Because stability needs to be considered.
If you create it last time but can't find your own people next time, then there's no point in creating it.
"Four Great Zhou Dynasty treasuries have been discovered. They are of relatively high level, and one of them is even a safe house for the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion."
"Forget it, let's leave the Great Zhou's for now."
Each person has the authority to do what they are authorized to do. Even the highest-level treasury of the Great Zhou is not something he can easily bypass.
Furthermore, if a high-ranking official of this dynasty were to arrive in the Guting Royal City to carry out certain plans, only to find that the treasury was gone...
That would disrupt their plans.
"Hmm? This place?"
When Zhao Xing's clone arrived at the coordinates of a high-level treasure vault from his memory, he discovered that there were magnificent palaces with pillars standing there, and many Dragon Race patrolling around.
Dragons come and go, and along the streets lined with rows of dragon-shaped stones, many Dragon Race stand before small hills, roaring with their heads raised.
"Ugh~"
"Roar!"
"Sheila!"
There were also Dragon Race making moves in front of a mountain of treasures, Swallowing Clouds, some of their tails intertwined.
A moment later, a dragon spat out a pile of dragon crystals, then rolled up a bunch of things from the treasure mountain and left. If someone who didn't know the Ancient Ting Dragon Race or whose Dragon Language were not up to par arrived, they would have no idea what they were doing.
But Zhao Xing understood immediately upon hearing and seeing it.
"We've arrived at the Dragon Race Market."
"Was this a place for street vendors to trade during the reign of Emperor Jing?"
Zhao Xing looked at it curiously.
A high-ranking Dragon Race was leading a group of Dragon Turtle, each carrying a load of goods, as they moved slowly.
When Zhao Xing passed by, there were still Dragon Race roaring at him. It wasn't anything else, just the shouts of the Dragon Race.
The general meaning is equivalent to:
"Take a look, have a look!"
"Our store is having a clearance sale today!"
"Want to learn about the secrets to transforming yourself while submerged?"
The further east you go, the more valuable the goods become.
Each Baoshan is higher than the last.
When they arrived at a mountain gate constructed of dragon crystal, Zhao Xing's clone could no longer enter.
"Ahead lies the trading post of Lord Sang Ting."
As Zhao Xing's clone approached, it was stopped by a group of Dragon Race guards.
Even though it speaks the Dragon Language, communication is unsuccessful, and it is still impossible to enter.
"Sang Ting is the third lord of the kingdom, with high status and power—never mind, let's wait for the real me."
Zhao Xing's clone did not continue negotiating, but withdrew and waited at a distance.
at the same time.
Purple Violet True Person, accompanied by his two disciples Secluded Fiend and Yun Ji, as well as his two grand-disciples Secluded Extinction and Shadow Fairy, arrived at the Dragon Race's trading grounds.
"Don't act rashly," Purple Violet True Person cautioned. "This is the Dragon Race ' trading ground; they're not planning an attack."
"Yes." The disciples and their followers all became very obedient, because Purple Violet True Person was in a bad mood and kept frowning.
Purple Violet True Person frowned and looked around, a bad feeling creeping over him.
I have a feeling that damn thief is around here too.
Zhao Xing was indeed in this vicinity; he had come specifically for the Corpse Puppet Sect Sect's treasury.
The rest of the treasury isn't urgent; now that the Corpse Puppet Sect has sent people, we should open it as soon as possible.
"This is one of the only two high-level storage locations of the Corpse Puppet Sect." Zhao Xing was also looking around. "If the people from the Corpse Puppet Sect have already arrived and discovered that the Giant Stone Vault has been pried open, they will definitely rush here immediately."
Suddenly he flew to a mountain and saw the Purple Violet True Person on another mountain peak.
The mysterious causal connection within the Heavenly Luck Realm immediately stirred Purple Violet True Person, causing him to turn around abruptly.
"Whoosh~"
Their eyes met, Purple Violet True Person immediately understood. "It's that thief!"
Zhao Xing understood the other party's identity. "They're here to steal my things."
Swish swish~
Purple Violet True Person immediately flew over. He didn't know Zhao Xing's identity, and couldn't tell which side he was from by his attire, "Fellow Daoist—"
Zhao Xing turned and left, waiting at a place guarded by Dragon Race.
Purple Violet True Person was about to give chase, but he suddenly realized, "Oh no!"
"Master, what's wrong?"
"This person's sudden appearance here likely indicates he knows about the treasures stored here," Purple Violet True Person, both surprised and furious. "We must go in immediately."
However, getting into the Sang Ting Trading District is not easy.
Because Purple Violet True Person and his group lacked start-up capital and had not obtained the necessary identity and access permissions.
"Oh no, he's here."
Purple Violet True Person's gaze suddenly turned to the mountain gate of the Sang Ting Trading District.
Zhao Xing himself quickly arrived outside the Sang Ting Trading District with a team of Fu Ming craftsmen.
"Can't get in, can't get in—"
Purple Violet True Person prayed silently.
He sensed that Zhao Xing's strength was not high. It had only been four days, and he shouldn't be able to enter the Sang Ting Trading District because it required Lord Level authority.
Seemingly noticing Purple Violet True Person's gaze, Zhao Xing smiled slightly.
That's right, under normal circumstances.
His initial three ships of treasures could not possibly be exchanged for Lord Level privileges.
But the department he chose to enter was the Fu Ming Divine Hall.
The Fuming Dragon Clan and the dragon boat they brought were specially selected.
Essentially, he's a "high-level repairman" for the Dragon Race.
Zhao Xing pretended to be in a hurry, and led the Fu Ming craftsmen in carrying two sets of tools named "Rising Mountain" and "Fire Concealment," and drove straight in.
Purple Violet True Person was stunned!
Holy crap, you can do this?
The Dragon Race guards didn't even stop Zhao Xing and his group!
"It's not like it's a forbidden area. It's perfectly reasonable for a high-level Dragon Race repairman like me to carry a set of repair tools into the Sang Ting Trading District." After entering, Zhao Xing revealed a slight smile.
It has to be said, the identity of Dragon Race craftsman is indeed very useful.
As long as it's not a forbidden area or a treasure trove, you can enter any commercial area you want.
"I've heard that in my past life there were Mechanism Master who could sneak into the Palace Treasury carrying just two common Dragon Race tools. I wonder if that's true," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
He didn't need to pretend, because he was the craftsman of the Fu Ming Divine Hall!
"Secluded Fiend, Yun Ji, the four of you stay here and keep watch. I'm going to the Great Arena now!" Purple Violet True Person was also anxious.
Although he didn't know why the other party knew the location of their Corpse Puppet Sect's secret hideout, he had a very bad feeling.
Purple Violet True Person no longer wanted to acquire his status through tribute; he wanted to quickly go to the Great Arena and obtain the Lord Level status.
Sang Ting Trading District, a lake area.
"Luckily, there aren't many Dragon Race here."
"It's just a spring where water is drawn."
Zhao Xing looked down and saw a three-headed, two-winged water Dragon Race of the Dragon General level sleeping nearby.
"Whoosh~"
Zhao Xing, leading the Fu Ming craftsmen, landed beside Longquan.
Long, the security guard who was sleeping, suddenly woke up.
"Hold head high?""
Zhao Xing uttered Fuming Token and activated the Dragon Language: "Dragon Spring needs repairs, make way immediately."
"Angang."
The two-winged water dragon obediently moved aside.
Although I don't know what part of Longquan needs to be repaired.
But they belong to the Fu Ming Divine Hall. If the Fu Ming Divine Hall says it needs repairs, then it does! Do you think I, a mere water watcher, would know more than someone from the Fu Ming Divine Hall?
"Start digging!"
Once the Dragon Race security guards were out of sight, Zhao Xing immediately instructed Fu Ming to set up a fence to block their view.
"Splash!"
A large number of treasures were unearthed from Longquan.
Same operation, same technique.
With experience, the Fu Ming craftsmen became increasingly skilled.
The three layers of seals on the Corpse Puppet Sect Sect's treasury were broken one by one within an hour.
"Water Screen Seal!"
Zhao Xing placed a Dragon Language seal on the treasure ship, making it impossible for outsiders to see inside.
To be on the Earthly Advantage Faction side, he also used the Earth Spirit Divine Treasury Art of the Earthly Advantage School to restore Longquan to its original state, and even expanded it.
Longquan is now three-tenths larger than before, although the water quality has been somewhat damaged.
But let's just say whether it was repaired or not!
"Go back!"
Zhao Xing wagged his tail contentedly.
"Ugh~"
After seeing that the craftsman Fu Ming had left, Baoan Long ran back to Longquan and took another look.
Longquan is indeed a bit bigger!
Then it lay down and went to sleep.
Zhao Xing returned the way he came. Because his aura was not strong enough to be at the Lord Level, he occasionally felt the gazes of many Lord Level Dragon Race along the way.
However, after realizing it was the dragon boat of the Fu Ming Divine Hall, they all turned their attention away.
"The fortunes have fluctuated, but within the normal range," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
As he flew out of the gates of the Sang Ting Trading District.
Secluded Fiend and Yun Ji immediately noticed Zhao Xing's presence.
"He's out!"
"Senior Brother, what should we do? Should we stop him?" Yun Ji asked.
"Master hasn't returned yet, Junior Sister, what do you suggest we do?" Secluded Fiend asked.
"You are the Senior Brother, so of course you should make the decision," Yun Ji said.
Secluded Fiend cursed under his breath, "This shameless woman doesn't want to take any responsibility at all."
"Master told us to keep an eye on things, so we'll just keep an eye on things," Secluded Fiend said. "Master also said we shouldn't act rashly."
"Yes, I will follow your instructions, Senior Brother."
So Yun Ji and Secluded Fiend each sent their disciples to follow.
Two hours later, Purple Violet True Person returned.
At this moment, his aura changed somewhat; the aura of a dragon was very strong, and he was carrying a huge token on his back.
"Where is he?" asked Purple Violet True Person.
"Master, he has come out." Secluded Fiend said respectfully, "This disciple does not know whether he succeeded or not, but I have already sent a disciple to follow him."
"Come in with me." Purple Violet True Person a gloomy face. At this time, he had already obtained the status of Lord Level, which was enough for him to enter the Sang Ting Trading District.
After searching for a while.
"Whoosh~"
Purple Violet True Person appeared beside Longquan.
"Lord." The water dragon lying beside Longquan trembled and prostrated itself on the ground.
"Get lost!" Purple Violet True Person waved his hand, sending the security dragon flying.
He then jumped into the murky Longquan spring.
The next moment, he soared into the sky again.
Secluded Fiend and Yun Ji didn't even need to ask, because they could tell from their expressions that it was definitely gone.
The master's anger could no longer be contained.
"That bastard!!"
Purple Violet True Person gritted his teeth.
The hard work of seven or eight generations of the Corpse Puppet Sect has been stolen by Zhao Xing.
Moreover, their home was raided in person.
This is intolerable!
"Master, what should we do now?" Secluded Fiend asked cautiously.
"Go find him!" Purple Violet True Person suppressed his anger.
He won't be at peace until he gets it back!
The residence of the second-level Fuming Envoy.
Buzz~
The two dragon boats came to a stop.
Pin Zhao Xing gave Fu Ming a gag order, ordering them to return to the Divine Temple to await orders.
"Mouth!
Fu Ming immediately flew away obediently.
"Unseal!"
Zhao Xing unsealed the dragon boat and then used his Wind Art to swirl out all the treasures.
Hearing the commotion, Cao Qianyue immediately came over.
Seeing the mountain of treasures falling from the sky, he was somewhat stunned.
"My Marquis, you've stolen from another treasure trove?"
"Okay." Zhao Xing nodded. "Time is tight and the task is heavy, so quickly sort these things into categories."
"You don't need to calculate the value, and you don't need to be so careful with the ones you can't solve. You can either brute-force them or just leave them as they are."
If the tribute bearer is unaware of the value, the Dragon King Yin Xiu will also investigate.
"Yes." Cao Qianyue immediately took action, and Zhao Xing also released his Ten Thousand Laws Clone to assist Cao Qianyue.
Time was indeed running out, and he could already sense that someone was watching him.
Although the Corpse Puppet Sect cannot enter the Fu Ming Divine Hall area.
However, Purple Violet True Person is only at the Second Rank rank.
Even without start-up capital, he can still gain access from the Great Arena.
"He will definitely be able to obtain the status of Lord Level. To avoid any unforeseen complications, I need to use up the treasure quickly, exchange it for something good from Yin Xiu, and turn the treasure into strength."
Although fighting is forbidden in the royal city, he and Purple Violet True Person are not on the same level, so it is impossible for the other party to challenge him through the arena.
However, having a higher level of authority could also cause him trouble.
"Lost them?" On the outskirts of the Fu Ming Divine Hall area, Purple Violet True Person's face was terribly dark as he looked at his two grand-disciples.
"Grandmaster, we can't get in." The two grand-disciples said tremblingly.
The area encompassed by the Fu Ming Divine Hall is so vast.
They can't get in, so how can they follow?
Zhao Xing could easily sneak out from another direction.
That's exactly what happened—we lost track of them.
"All of you, head to the arena!" said Purple Violet True Person. "Challenge those Dragon Lords, advance your ranks, and the faster the better!"
"Yes." The four disciples and their followers immediately followed the instructions and went to the Great Arena.
"Click~"
Purple Violet True Person closed his eyes, his Daoist robe billowing, and the coffin lid behind him slowly shifted to create a gap.
"Yu Weng~"
One by one, dragonflies the size of a finger flew out.
They are all corpse worms that evolved from devouring the corpses of Dragon Race.
It has twelve wings, two compound eyes, and sharp mouthparts.
Purple Violet True Person opened his eyes again, and his pupils were divided into countless grids.
Each corpse worm became his eyes.
"You little thief! How dare you steal the Corpse Puppet Sect Sect's secret treasures! I will not let you off!"
Just as Purple Violet True Person was about to wait and capture Zhao Xing,
At this moment, Zhao Xing had already left the Fu Ming Divine Hall area, towing four Dragon Ball transport ships.
"My Marquis, where are we going?"
"North of the royal city, there is a place called Guding North Sea," Zhao Xing introduced. "It's called a sea, but it's actually a huge lake."
"That is the sleeping place of the Dragon King Yin Xiu."
"He is the elder brother of Dragon King Yin Li, and the two brothers will take turns ruling. In about three hundred years, Dragon King Xiu will be born, and his younger brother will fall into a deep sleep."
"The Dragon King lowers his vital signs and prolongs his life by going into a deep sleep."
Cao Qianyue was unaware of this and simply listened quietly.
Zhao Xing told Cao Qianyue that it was fine, because this place would no longer be a secret.
If any experts from this dynasty were to come, Zhao Xing would choose to tell them, since he alone couldn't possibly exchange all of the Dragon King's treasures.
"I want to briefly awaken the Dragon King 'Xiu' and offer him tribute, just as I would offer tribute to the Dragon King 'Li'."
"My Marquis, what's the difference?"
"Dragon King Xiu has a gentler and Justice personality, unlike his younger brother," Zhao Xing said. "We can get more good things in return."
"I see."
Upon arriving at the North Sea Longhu, Zhao Xing quickly located the area where the Dragon King Xiu resting.
There are no Dragon Race guarding this place, but there are many Dragon Language seals.
"Fire Transformation!"
Zhao Xing implemented Hou Bian Method and plunged into the sea.
"Splash!"
The dragon boat tilted and sank into the North Sea.
It soon encountered its first obstacle: the constant currents of the sea prevented it from moving forward.
"North Sea Returning Flow, Water Dragon Divine Concealment Incantation!"
Zhao Xing activated the Dragon-Language Unsealing Incantation, and the fire bubbled from underwater.
After the bubbles appear, they do not float to the surface, but instead sink.
Inside the bubble, ancient dragon script and patterns flow.
The surging undercurrents were quickly suppressed by the bubbles that Zhao Xing spat out.
The seabed in front of us suddenly went from dark to clear.
Zhao Xing continued to propel the dragon boat forward.
Fifteen minutes later, the second obstacle appeared.
Twelve towering mountains appeared on the seabed.
A dragon head stands atop the mountain peak, its eyes gleaming with light, dividing the seabed space and causing the seawater to vibrate at an abnormal frequency.
Any Dragon Race that intrudes here, even if it is Lord Level, will be killed by the shock if it doesn't know how to do it.
"Dun Lie, release the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle and insert it clockwise into Chongguang, Zhaoyang, and Huangluo of the twelve mountains."
"The divine needles entered the body at twelve zhang and forty-six ke, nine zhang and thirty-five ke, and seven zhang and fifteen ke respectively—"
The Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle used by the Mechanism Master was originally inherited from the Dragon Race's craftsmanship.
Of course, there are significant differences between the Dragon Race version and the Human Race version.
He remembered the order of passing the levels, and he could barely operate the heavy weapons of the Engineer School, but they were not as good as Cao Qianyue's. If he inserted them incorrectly even once, it would trigger the counterattack function of the great formation.
"Yes!"
Cao Qianyue immediately began operating the dragon boat.
"Boom!"
He maneuvered the dragon boat and, as Zhao Xing instructed, precisely inserted the Dragon Race version of the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle into the corresponding position, causing the water to burst open and the surrounding seawater to stop trembling.
Zhao Xing continued forward, and the twelve Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle were stuck there.
After surfacing in the sea for a quarter of an hour, a dragon palace emitting a faint Golden Light appeared on the seabed.
"The final hurdle."
Zhao Xing arrived outside the Dragon Palace.
"Clatter!"
"Clatter!"
Layers of dragon crystals were rolled up from the ship, the long strips of dragon crystals intertwined, the slots closed, and they extended forward layer by layer.
Around the Dragon Palace, Dragon Crystal Avenue was formed, on which the pattern of the Dragon King "Xiu" was pieced together.
Following that, Zhao Xing spent another two million dragon crystals to construct a massive throne.
The throne was set within what appeared to be a blooming flower petal.
Of course, Cao Qianyue thought it was half an eggshell.
This kid sees everything as food.
"That's about it," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"The ancient ritual to summon the Dragon King 'Hugh' has been completed."
"The Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle can be retrieved, but this Great Path cannot be retrieved; this is the price of awakening."
The Dragon Crystal Avenue and the throne radiated true light, their illusory shadows spreading into the Dragon Palace.
I don't know how much time has passed.
"Boom!"
The Dragon Palace trembled, and the already dark seawater became even darker.
Sudden-
Two bright lights appeared.
When Zhao Xing saw the light, his heart skipped a beat, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Because those are the eyes of the Dragon King Xiu.
It has been awakened by itself!
Indifferent eyes emerged from the dark sea, followed by sharp dragon horns and flowing Dragon Whisker.
The Dragon King, Yin Xiu, appeared above the throne!
Zhao Xing immediately prostrated himself at the other end of Dragon Crystal Avenue and activated his superior Dragon Language: "Your Highness the Dragon King, the great guardian of the Guting Kingdom, the inheritor of the Eastern Emperor Golden Script, the arbiter of justice—"
The Dragon King Xiu has a long lifespan and many titles.
Zhao Xing Xingnian mainly refers to his four main titles.
Three of the titles—Dragon King, Judge, and Guardian of the Guting Kingdom —are the same as those of "Yin Li." Only "Inheritor of the Eastern Emperor Golden Script" is a title unique to the Dragon King "Xiu."
The Eastern Emperor Golden Script script was created by the ancient Dragon Emperor "Jie," and it is quite difficult even for the Dragon King to learn it.
However, the Dragon King Xiu possessed a portion of the Dragon Emperor Golden Script.
Of course, all of this happened 70,000 years ago, during the era when Dragon King Xiu was active. Nowadays, very few Dragon Race know his name.
"—Zhao, a citizen of the Guting Kingdom, fervently beseeches your arrival."
After saying that, Zhao Xing waited quietly.
"Buzz~"
The dark seabed suddenly brightened, and Zhao Xing felt himself moving.
When he looked up again, he was already a thousand meters away from the throne.
Then, the phantom of Dragon King Xiu appeared on the throne, where the dragon spirit emerged from his body; this was one of Dragon King Xiu's dragon spirits.
Besides a true awakening, the Dragon King 'Xiu's' awakening from a light slumber also occurred in this way.
It is not easy for the Dragon King's enormous body to fully rejuvenate from its slumber.
Between waking and sleeping, the Dragon King Xiu also consumes a great deal of resources and pays a considerable price.
To truly awaken it, Zhao Xing's tens of millions of dragon coins are far from enough.
"(Dragon Language) State your purpose."
An ethereal voice appeared in Zhao Xing's mind.
"To pay tribute." Zhao Xing said succinctly.
As soon Dragon King Xiu his head, the water around the four dragon boats began to swirl rapidly.
Cao Qianyue had long since left the dragon boat and was staying on a small boat.
"Splash!"
The water churned, and the four dragon boats suddenly entered four whirlpools, disappearing into the Dragon Palace.
A moment later, Hugh's voice rang out again.
"You will receive a reward from the Dragon King."
"Enter from here, and you can choose any two times."
You have fifteen days to choose.
"Once a choice is made, it cannot be changed."
Zhao Xing respectfully said, "Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he obediently swam into a vortex above Dragon Crystal Avenue.
The world spins and the universe turns.
After passing through the vortex, Zhao Xing appeared in a void.
He looked down and saw a piece of land floating below, which rapidly enlarged in front of him.
The land was covered with mountains of treasures, stretching endlessly, with a diameter of almost tens of thousands of kilometers!
"The Treasure Vault World of the Dragon King Xiu!"
Zhao Xing was extremely excited.
"It can be said to be the third most precious treasure trove in the Dragon Court."
The Great Dragon King had no treasure trove; he slept for far longer than his son, and he divided his treasure trove among his sons.
If there is no large-scale burst of spiritual energy in the Dragon Court, it will basically not awaken.
The only treasure trove that can surpass the Dragon King Xiu Vault is the Central Dragon Court's treasury.
However, that is a forbidden area for Dragon Race, and exploring it is very dangerous.
As for the Dragon King Xiu, there is absolutely no danger.
The Dragon King Xiu's treasure trove is vast, but the brilliance of the treasures has been sealed by a powerful force, and they can only be identified by their appearance, inscriptions, and patterns.
"It really tests your eyesight, just like gambling on antiques," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
He activated his Heaven's Eye Art and began a large-scale scan.
"It might be a blind choice for others, but it wasn't for me."
Zhao Xing pushed his Derivation God Art to its limit, and at the same time, he flew swiftly, exploring the Dragon King Xiu's treasure vault at top speed.
Even so, it took him a whole day to fly around and see most of the sights.
"A second time!"
Zhao Xing spent another two and a half days conducting a second round of screening.
"Third time!"
The third search was even more detailed.
The treasures here of the Dragon King Xiu are not afraid of being destroyed, because they are enveloped by the Dragon King's power.
Each treasure floats like a ball of light, and by perception alone, the fluctuations emitted by each treasure are the same.
"Fifteen Heavenly Timing a short time for the Dragon King Xiu's long lifespan, but it is a long time for me."
Zhao Xing wasn't in a hurry. He continued his sweeps until the thirteenth day before finally stopping.
"There are nearly two days left. Let's start the comparison."
"Metaphor~"
My brain was racing, and all the scenes I had witnessed over the past thirteen days flashed before my eyes.
After repeated comparisons, an hour later.
Zhao Xing opened his eyes.
"Three rare treasures have been identified, which are commonly known as divine artifacts."
Five items were also discovered that appeared to be priceless treasures.
Why are there more rare and exquisite treasures?
Because Zhao Xing couldn't quite grasp the situation, it might look like it, but there's a high probability it wasn't.
There are three things that can be confirmed.
"Whoosh~"
Zhao Xing quickly determined the first treasure he absolutely had to obtain.
He arrived at a golden ball of light.
Inside the ball of light was a black dragon-patterned carved panel.
"Dragon Emperor Jie's ' Dragon Emperor Codex '!"
"It is not the complete Dragon Emperor Codex, but only one-ninth of it, but even this one-ninth is still at the level of a divine artifact."
"The Dragon King Xiu here should be the Decree Chapter."
"With it, I can explore many forbidden areas of the Central Dragon Court, and with its power, I can even unleash the corresponding nine great spells!"
Without hesitation, Zhao Xing touched the ball of light and took it in his hand.
Even the Dragon King Xiu didn't know the true nature of this item, because it could only be activated at a specific location in the Dragon Court Sacred Land.
The era of the Dragon Emperor is too far removed from the era of the Dragon Kings. Even the Great Dragon King, let alone Hugh, have never seen a true Dragon Emperor. "What should we choose for the second item? Should we choose a certain rare treasure, or gamble on an unparalleled gem?"
Without much hesitation, Zhao Xing decided to take a gamble.
Because it's unsure whether anyone will conduct a blind selection process afterward.
The matter of the Dragon King Xiu can't be kept secret for long.
It is now the eighteenth day since the Dragon Court opened. After he leaves, it will be the twentieth day.
Given such a long period of time, many experts will likely arrive in the royal city.
"Let's take a gamble for Old Meng."
Zhao Xing hurried on his way and arrived at the second location he remembered.
Within the enormous ball of light, the phantom of a hoe appeared.
Zhao Xing touched the ball of light.
The moment he touched the ball of light, a mysterious feeling instantly entered his mind.
Entering this mysterious state, all his Earthly Advantage Faction spells were directly elevated to the highest level of perfection!
"You bet right." Zhao Xing smiled. "Old Meng, you'd better treat me like royalty this time. Let's see if you still dare to nag me."
That's right, this is the lost Kunyuan Divine Hoe from history, also known as the ' Shennong Hoe '.
It is one of the four sacred treasures.
Only a divine artifact could possess such miraculous effects, temporarily elevating his novice-level Earthly Advantage Method to the top-level perfection.
"Buzz~"
After making the two choices, a vortex passage appeared behind Zhao Xing.
An invisible force pulled it away.
Zhao Xing reappeared on Dragon Crystal Avenue, prostrate on the ground.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty."
Dragon King Xiu carefully examined what Zhao Xing had chosen, but said nothing, only gently twitching his Dragon Whisker.
"Splash~"
A stream of water pushed Zhao Xing and Cao Qianyue outwards.
Although it was a gentle push, Zhao Xing and Cao Qianyue appeared directly on the North Sea.
"My Marquis?" Cao Qianyue exclaimed anxiously, "How could this dragon king be like this? The twelve Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle are still down there!"
Dragon King Xiu, though he did not recognize the Dragon Emperor Codex.
Shennong Hoe was of a high quality, so Dragon King Xiu could certainly recognize it.
However, it is unusable; the entire Dragon Court cannot use it because it is the exclusive artifact of the Agricultural Official.
If we reward you too much, we can only remove the twelve Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle needles that stabilize the sea as a small consolation.
Zhao Xing, however, didn't care at all. "Let it be."
Since it already has components of the [Kunyuan Divine Hoe] and the [Dragon Emperor Codex], why would it need the [Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle]?
Even if you threw away ten thousand Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle needles, Old Master Zhao wouldn't care.
After all, it was only an eighth-order Dragon Race treasure. Although it was rare outside, it was not uncommon within the Dragon Court.
"Let's go. Next time we come, we'll have to bring even more tribute," Zhao Xing said.
Tribute, tribute! The Dragon King is going to make a profit!
Although the Dragon King Xiu is relatively fair, what if he keeps losing money?
It will feel the pinch, and next time it will ask for even more tribute.
Moreover, as the number of people coming to pay tribute increases, the standards will also rise.
Zhao Xing also needs to make money quickly and try to come and exchange it more often.
The moment Zhao Xing emerged from the Dragon King Xiu's treasure vault
Outside, in the Juzi Hall, in the Heavenly Mystery Chamber of the Fate Officials.
The four first-rank Fate Officials, including the Heaven Derivation King, sat cross-legged in the "Heavenly Mystery Pillar".
Suddenly, "metaphor~"
One of the Fate Officials, Ji Si, suddenly opened her eyes, her face showing joy.
When he opened his eyes, the other three Fate Officials, including the Heaven Derivation King, also sensed something.
"Ji Si!" Heaven Derivation King and the other two Fate Officials quickly flew to Ji Si's Heavenly Mystery Pillar. "How is she?"
Ji Si and the other two did not hold the throne, so Heaven Derivation King addressed them by their given names.
"Two items!" Ji Si held up two fingers, her smile crinkling into wrinkles like withered tree bark. "And you?"
"Two items too."
Two items.
The four Fate Officials quickly reached a consensus.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The four Fate Officials burst into laughter. When the four Fate Officials reached a consensus, it proved that the possibility was very, very high.
Two divine artifacts were created and fell into the hands of the Great Zhou!
This is certainly something to be happy about, as it took less than a month!
"Heaven Derivation King, would you like to see who it is?" Ji Si asked expectantly.
Heaven Derivation King glanced at the other three, seeing their expectant expressions, and chuckled, "Alright, since it involves our own people anyway, it's not difficult and doesn't require much deduction power. Let's just satisfy everyone's curiosity."
The four then returned to the Heavenly Mystery Pillar, unleashed their powers, reversed their calculations, and began to determine which powerful figure in the Great Zhou possessed the two divine artifacts.
The deduction was surprisingly easy, fifteen minutes later.
The four Heavenly Mystery Pillar were covered with a dense array of names.
Ninety percent of the names are the same person: Zhao Xing.
"Zhao Xing?" Heaven Derivation King was taken aback, thinking he had misread it.
The other three also flew out of the Heavenly Mystery Pillar and came to the side of Heaven Derivation King.
"Heaven Derivation King, what is your result?"
"Mine is Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing of Divine Might Marquis."
"Mine too."
"A mid-ranking official, Zhao Xing? He acquired two divine artifacts in less than a month?"
The three first-rank Fate Officials immediately began to doubt their previous deductions, and even the Heaven Derivation King was somewhat bewildered.
