They climbed the steps at the end of the passage and arrived in a vast space.
Gu Chenfeng was stunned by the sight before him.
Before him stood an enormous underground palace!
Its vaulted ceiling soared like the heavens, inlaid with some kind of hard, luminous crystal that cast down a soft, bright glow.
Most breathtaking of all were the mountains of treasure piled inside.
To his left, Gu Chenfeng saw a mountain built from Source Crystals.
To his right were dazzling Spiritual Materials, radiating light of every color, carefully held in countless jade boxes.
There were also countless sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, forks, and all manner of armor.
As well as implements whose purpose even Gu Chenfeng could not identify.
The vast majority were Source Weapons emanating fluctuations of Source Qi.
Not to mention ordinary gold, silver, and jewels.
Those lay piled up and spilled freely like rivers.
Everywhere he looked in the underground palace, there was treasure.
To call such quantities and wealth enough to rival a nation was no exaggeration.
At that moment, large numbers of Blood Tiger Guards were using all sorts of equipment to move these treasures in an orderly fashion!
Gu Chenfeng stared, dumbstruck and dazzled.
He almost thought he had entered Great Li's national treasury.
For a moment, he even stammered.
"Th-these treasures... are... are all..."
Gu Lingxiao gazed proudly at the immense underground palace and its countless treasures.
"Well, kid? Your old man saved up all these treasures as capital for our Gu Lineage.
"I earned most of it myself. Some was seized from corrupt officials.
"And some, heh heh... was scraped out of the Prime Minister's Residence in our Imperial Capital."
At these words, Gu Chenfeng finally snapped out of his daze.
Without another word, he lunged forward.
