More than half a month passed once again.
Feng Zhoulong urgently called, sounding as though something important had come up.
Jiang Yuan thought there had been progress on Fusion Magic and rushed to the Research Association without stopping.
In the laboratory, the Imperial Seal of China was wrapped in a mass of deathly liquid, and even the surrounding containers showed signs of corrosion.
"Brother Jiang Yuan, I've already uncovered the secret of the Imperial Seal of China. Do you want to hear it?" Feng Zhoulong said mysteriously.
Sure enough, Feng Zhoulong's talent for magical research was simply too strong. It had only been a short time, yet he had already unearthed its secret.
Jiang Yuan hurriedly asked, "Old Feng, quit keeping me in suspense. What secret does the seal hold?"
Feng Zhoulong was easygoing. Even with such a large age gap between them, addressing each other as brothers seemed perfectly ordinary to him.
Feng Zhoulong did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "Do you know the ranks of demon beasts?"
Of course he did.
From Servant to Emperor, it had been taught in Pearl Institute's classes as well.
Jiang Yuan immediately said that he did.
Only then did Feng Zhoulong say, "That's good. According to our research, the Imperial Seal of China is a Heaven-rank vessel, and an Undead element Heaven-rank vessel at that. It fits its legends quite well."
If the Imperial Seal of China had been passed down intact to the present day without ever being damaged, it would certainly have corresponded to an Emperor-level magic artifact like the Black Dragon Emperor set.
However, one corner of the Imperial Seal of China had once been damaged, and a later monarch had fitted it with a golden corner.
That was why it could only be considered a Heaven-rank vessel.
