Hearing Tang Chen's words, Qian Yuan was delighted. After all, Tang Chen would become the Asura God King, the God of Law Enforcement in the Divine Realm, and one of its five supreme beings.
If Qian Daoliu became Tang Chen's follower or disciple, he would stand a better chance of attaining godhood.
So Qian Yuan burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha! Good! You're a straightforward young man. I won't take advantage of you for nothing."
As he spoke, Qian Yuan took out a gilded key inlaid with an image of the Angel God Statue.
"This key opens Spirit Hall's inner treasury. If anything catches your eye, take your pick."
Hearing this, Tang Chen accepted it without hesitation.
He asked Qian Yuan, "Senior, where is Spirit Hall's inner treasury? I'd like to have a look right now."
Seeing how sincere and unaffected Tang Chen was, Qian Yuan laughed heartily.
"Hahahaha! Come, I'll take you there."
With that, Qian Yuan took Tang Chen by the hand and led him and Qian Daoliu to Spirit Hall's inner treasury.
Before long, the three reached an unremarkable spot.
The vegetation there grew lush and thick. Nothing about the place suggested it could hide anything.
Once they arrived, Qian Yuan stamped his foot.
A steel gate slowly rose from beneath the ground.
The gate was pitch-black, with a black dragon carved on either side, giving it an imposing air. At its center was a diamond-shaped slot that matched the key Qian Yuan had given Tang Chen.
Qian Yuan told Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, "This is Spirit Hall's inner treasury. It holds everything Spirit Hall has collected over nearly a thousand years."
Tang Chen inserted the gilded key into the matching slot. With a rumble, the steel gate swung open.
It revealed a tunnel shrouded in darkness.
