With the Langu Emperor Weapon in his possession, Fang Yang had undergone a true transformation. Unlike other Extreme Emperor Weapons, it gave him the confidence that even a Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven expert could not kill him outright.
After taking the Langu Emperor Weapon into his Immortal Platform Secret Realm, Fang Yang did not wonder what rare treasure the Langu Great Emperor had left at the ninth trial, nor did he consider trying to take it by other means.
Given the Langu Great Emperor's generosity toward his successor, a treasure that could only be claimed after Fang Yang became an emperor was bound to be immensely dangerous, or impossible to use before then. On this matter, it was best to trust the emperor's judgment.
Fang Yang then walked out of the underground palace of inheritance.
"Why are you out so soon?"
The Immortal Crane could not have guessed what Fang Yang had experienced. She immediately asked in alarm.
Fang Yang said nothing more. He simply brought out the Langu Emperor Weapon and showed it to the cultivator who had guarded the Langu Underground Palace for so many years.
"My task is complete!"
At the sight of the Extreme Emperor Weapon that had belonged to the Langu Great Emperor, tears streamed down the Immortal Crane's aged face. Her surging emotions sent the Divine Lake churning, throwing up towering columns of water that refracted brilliant rainbows.
"Only the ninth trial remains unopened in the Langu Underground Palace. I'll have to attain the Dao and become an emperor before I can open it."
Fang Yang looked at the Immortal Crane. He had more he wanted to say, but in the end, he kept it to himself.
She had guarded the Langu Underground Palace for thousands of years, devoting all that time to this place.
