Chapter 1233: The Remains of the Qiankun King (First update, requesting everything)

Li Zhangsheng paused his steps, gazing at the sealed metal gate before him.

This was a gate forged entirely from Millennium Black Iron, extremely hard, with a circular groove on its surface.

Besides this, there was also a thick layer of light film on the surface of the gate.

If nothing went wrong, the circular groove was the place to insert the token.

If one were to forcibly attack the gate, the moment the gate was destroyed, it would likely trigger a chain reaction, very possibly destroying the inheritance in one fell swoop.

Li Zhangsheng did not have the inheritance token of the Qiankun King, but he had the Secret Realm Token; as long as he interrupted the energy transmission and allowed the internal energy to conduct elsewhere, these restrictions would collapse on their own.

Of course, these restrictions might also activate before annihilation, involving a certain element of gambling.

Acting on the principle of preparing for the worst, Li Zhangsheng needed to make some preparations in advance, with everything focused on rescuing the items in case the restrictions were forcibly activated.

The self-destruction power of forbidden arrays and restrictions was very strong, but no matter how strong, they had certain limitations; furthermore, Li Zhangsheng had a relatively deep study of this aspect.

Li Zhangsheng did not touch the light film; he began to activate the Secret Realm Token, and by extracting the energy of the forbidden arrays and restrictions, he used his Mental Power to carefully sense the energy flow paths of these forbidden arrays and restrictions, obtaining their information as well as their approximate power.

Generally speaking, the more complex the forbidden arrays and restrictions, the stronger their power tended to be; although things in the world were not absolute, this was the case in general.

"Meridian-Noon Linked Forbidden Array, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Forbidden Array, and another quite complex forbidden array; this must be the Qiankun Inversion Forbidden Array upon which the Qiankun King built his fame."

Regarding the Meridian-Noon Linked Forbidden Array and the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches Forbidden Array, Li Zhangsheng indicated that he could also set them up; as for the Qiankun Inversion Forbidden Array, he had indeed learned some information about it from the mouth of Bai Ze and understood the general principles.

The Qiankun Inversion Forbidden Array was a relatively famous illusion array and also the secret, non-transmitted technique of the Qiankun King; once one entered the array, it would cause the heavens and earth to invert, causing one to lose their way, and one could not attack the forbidden array at will, otherwise, it might cause the attack to rebound.

Of course, if the intensity of the attack exceeded the bearing range, the Qiankun Inversion Forbidden Array would collapse on its own; this was the same principle for other forbidden arrays.

Soon, the three great forbidden arrays began to show fluctuations; this was a precursor to an imminent collapse.

It was also at this moment that Li Zhangsheng stepped on the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform, wore the Ancestral Dragon Scale Armor, and had the Hunyuan Golden Lamp above his head... arming himself to the teeth.

At the same time, he held Bai Tian and Hei Ye in his arms and held Kailan's hand, having made his preparations.

As for Aixi, even if she voluntarily shrank, her body size was still too large and not suitable for going in.

Just when only a thin layer of the light film remained on the Black Iron gate, suddenly, the remaining energy within the three great forbidden arrays fluctuated violently without warning; this was the precursor to self-destruction.

"As expected!"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself, but his reaction was also extremely rapid, because the time left for him was extremely short, at most only three seconds.

The Biluohuangquan Twin Swords transformed into a Sword Dragon, fiercely crashing into the Black Iron gate.

Boom—

The light film shattered at a touch, and the hard Black Iron gate was broken open into a large hole in an instant.

Li Zhangsheng rushed in right after the Black Iron gate; because the three great forbidden arrays were about to self-destruct, they were no longer operating, so the scene inside could be clearly seen.

This was a spacious hall, with more than ten transparent cabinets standing on both sides, each containing a treasure.

At the very back were nine huge golden steps, on which sat a luxurious dragon chair, with an old man wearing a five-clawed golden dragon yellow robe and a nine-dragon crown sitting upon it.

The old man had no aura at all, and his skin was deeply sunken, looking just like skin and bones.

Without a doubt, this was the remains of the Qiankun King.

Even though the Qiankun King possessed a Golden Body Jade Bone, he was ultimately not a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer during his lifetime, and his Immortal Substance was extremely limited, making it impossible to achieve Endless Life; the remains could only be preserved for a thousand years without rotting.

The Qiankun King had fallen for nearly two thousand years, and the Immortal Substance that maintained the incorruptibility of his physical body had been exhausted; his remains naturally could not be guaranteed to be intact.

Because time was extremely limited, Li Zhangsheng had no room for choice; he ignored those cabinets and flew toward the remains of the Qiankun King.

Compared to the treasures in the cabinets, the inheritance on the remains of the Qiankun King was the most important.

During this process, Kailan, Bai Tian, and Hei Ye transformed into three streaks of light and, under Li Zhangsheng's guidance, rushed toward three of the cabinets.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, the energy fluctuations emitted by the treasures in these three cabinets were the most intense, all reaching the World Wonder grade.

As for the other treasures, they had all reached the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade; unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng could only make such trade-offs and could only secure the most precious treasures.

Besides this, Li Zhangsheng also had the Ten-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform, the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda, and the Zining Cauldron protect the safety of the three Demon Pets.

After rushing in front of the remains of the Qiankun King, the various colored treasure lights on Li Zhangsheng's body expanded, encompassing the remains within them.

On the other side, Kailan, Bai Tian, and Hei Ye also landed on their respective cabinets in an instant.

It sounds slow, but in reality, a total of less than two seconds had passed.

Rumble—

Without giving Li Zhangsheng more time to prepare, the three great forbidden arrays finally self-destructed, and the extremely intense impact force and energy tide raged crazily in the palace.

This was still after extracting part of the energy, which caused the self-destruction power of the three great forbidden arrays to shrink quite a bit; otherwise, the power would only have been stronger.

Even so, the self-destruction power was still extremely strong; according to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, it had likely reached the full-strength strike of an Emperor-level Demon Pet.

This refers to ordinary Emperor-level Demon Pets; even while protecting the cabinets, it was completely effortless for Kailan, Bai Tian, and Hei Ye to resist, not to mention they had Strange Treasures to Guard them.

Li Zhangsheng was even more so; under the protection of the colorful treasure light, he was not affected at all and easily protected the remains of the Qiankun King.

As for the majority of the cabinets he was unable to protect, Li Zhangsheng expressed that there was nothing he could do, and he could only watch them be affected by the self-destruction and submerged in the energy tide.

In the span of a few breaths, the energy tide finally dissipated; at this moment, the palace had become a complete mess, and in the center, there was an extra giant pit dozens of meters deep, and the walls had collapsed by more than half, with the remaining parts also teetering; this was still because the palace itself was very sturdy, otherwise it would definitely have affected the entire Qiankun Palace.

Those cabinets affected by the self-destruction had all disappeared, and as for the treasures inside the cabinets, none were spared from damage; even the exceptionally sturdy materials suffered huge damage.

Although the loss was great, the most important thing was the inheritance of the Qiankun King; furthermore, Li Zhangsheng had preserved the only three World Wonders.

The left hand of the Qiankun King's remains held an Inheritance Jade Slip, while the right hand held a jade-textured book made entirely of Preaching Jade.

"Golden Chapter Jade Record?"

Seeing this jade-textured book, Li Zhangsheng subconsciously associated it with the "Golden Chapter Jade Record".
