Chapter 225: Imperial Treasury

"Boom!"

The cultivator's exclamation had just finished when the entire wall suddenly collapsed, and a cloud of dust was instantly stirred up.

The restriction in the air and the light screen barrier exploded into a mass of invisible fragments, turning into spiritual energy and dissipating completely!

Everyone looked at the huge trench on the ground, unable to recover for a long time!

Ten excavators, truly powerful!

The restriction set up by the founding emperor after inviting a strong expert was actually broken so easily. This Zha Tian Bang is truly terrifying!

It's just that in Xu Que's view, this kind of restriction wasn't anything remarkable; it was nothing more than borrowing the ability of the Imperial Palace guards. Knowing that others couldn't possibly have the time to dig such a long pit, they set up this restriction that limited techniques and dharma artifacts!

But that strong expert definitely couldn't have anticipated that Xu Que would have a great killing weapon like an excavator!

And the other cultivators Xu Que called over to operate the excavators were all extremely excited. Most of them didn't have high cultivation levels, and one of them even came to join the fun with only Qi Refining Stage cultivation.

Driving this mighty and domineering artifact excavator, it was simply crushing everything along the way!

Clang, clang, clang!

The rumbling sound of the excavators and those infinitely powerful mechanical arms made these native cultivators feel terrified.

This is truly a divine artifact, damn it!

A Qi Refining Stage cultivator could drive it to smash through the most powerful restriction of the Fire Kingdom's Imperial Palace without needing to expend a single bit of spiritual energy.

"Hey, hey, hey... Alright! Alright! The restriction is gone, what are you guys still playing around there for? There's no need to destroy the wall over there anymore!"

After Xu Que led the excavator squad rumbling in, he discovered that those guys in the back had actually fallen behind. Destroying the front restriction wall was enough, who would have thought this group of guys would get addicted to it, crushing and tinkering all the way to the side ones, and even not letting go of the eunuchs in the palace along the way. They were simply playing even more happily and ruthlessly than himself!

"Hurry, hurry, hurry... all of you damn well come back! Divine artifacts like excavators should be used on the cutting edge! I'm talking to you! That Qi Refining Stage one, you're driving an excavator to chase after a Nascent Soul Stage eunuch, does the feeling of acting cool feel great?"

Seeing these eunuch experts being crushed by the excavators and running around everywhere, falling and getting bruised, Xu Que was amused and nearly choked on his laughter, thinking to himself that it really was necessary to open a Lanxiang Excavator Technical School branch in this other world.

"Prince Consort, spare my life!"

"Please, Prince Consort, board the teleportation array!"

Amidst the flying dust, the few remaining eunuchs were crushed and crawled over, kneeling at the entrance, begging for mercy incessantly.

The Fire Emperor ordered them to destroy the teleportation array, and they responded with a yes.

But in fact, they didn't dare to destroy it.

In these successive battles, the Fire Emperor had been defeated repeatedly, and now he had even ended up fleeing to sacrifice to heaven. Unknowingly, the Fire Emperor's past majesty had already been overshadowed by Xu Que!

So much so that after the Fire Emperor left, the fear these few eunuchs had for Xu Que far exceeded that for the Fire Emperor.

So they disobeyed the Fire Emperor's order, not daring to truly destroy the teleportation array, fearing they would encounter Xu Que's terrifying retaliation, and knelt out one after another to beg for mercy.

Xu Que was also amused; it just so happened he could save some Acting Cool Points and wouldn't need to buy a Divine Travel Shuttle Talisman.

As for Top-grade Spirit Stones, he had plenty on him. He had looted all the storage rings of the Nascent Soul and Infant Transformation Stage experts he had killed in the past. Besides some inferior pills and techniques, the only things of value were spirit stones.

After accumulating them over this period, Xu Que's system package had long been filled with a huge pile of spirit stones, which could almost be described as a mountain, rich enough to drip oil!

A mere Top-grade Spirit Stone was no problem at all.

"Consider yourselves sensible. If you had really destroyed the teleportation array just now, I would have dragged you out to whip your corpses! Hurry up and move aside!"

Xu Que raised the corner of his mouth and stepped inside.

The Empress also stepped down from the excavator and walked toward the Heavenly Palace Forbidden Land, her gaze falling on the pavilion.

"This place is the treasure storage of the Ji family of the Fire Yuan Kingdom!" the Empress transmitted her voice, as if reminding Xu Que of something.

Xu Que had the system, so he wasn't very interested in the so-called treasures of this world, but thinking that he still had many techniques waiting for technique essence to upgrade, he didn't hesitate and kicked the door of the pavilion open.

The Heavenly Palace Forbidden Land only had one layer of restriction on the outside, so they weren't afraid of intruders, and the pavilion door was completely undefended.

After Xu Que kicked it open, the dazzling array of treasures in the pavilion was instantly displayed before everyone.

All the cultivators present widened their eyes in disbelief.

"My god, this... is this the foundation of the royal family?"

"There are actually so many treasures."

"Look quickly, isn't that Golden Dragon Pattern Sword a Six-Star Dharma Artifact forged by a Six-Star Artifact Refining Master a hundred years ago? It was actually collected here!"

"And that Spirit Light Armor, it's also a Six-Star Dharma Artifact armor!"

"Blue Sky Staff, isn't this the supreme treasure stolen from the Wood Origin Kingdom back then? How could it be here?"

"Eh, wait, what's placed on that shelf, is it the legendary Yin Yang Divine Pearl?"

"Damn, it really is. This item is a supreme essence treasure that only condenses one every thousand years at the junction of the Water Yuan Kingdom and the Fire Yuan Kingdom!"

"There are actually five whole pearls here, doesn't that mean all the essence treasures of the two countries for five thousand years have been collected here?"

"Could the Water Yuan Kingdom have been completely unaware?"

Everyone discovered some incredible things. Finally, five pearls caused exclamations from everyone present, and they all turned their gazes toward the Empress.

The Empress's eyes flickered slightly, but her expression remained calm, as if lost in thought.

"Is this thing very powerful?" Xu Que asked via voice transmission.

The Empress glanced at him and replied indifferently: "It is a supreme treasure, but... it has little use!"

"Ah? Why?" Xu Que was startled, somewhat puzzled.

The Empress replied: "Water and fire are inherently incompatible, but this item is very magical. It condenses the two types of true essence from the Fire Yuan Kingdom and the Water Yuan Kingdom, turning them into Yin and Yang Qi, filling it. It is a supreme treasure condensed spontaneously by the essence of heaven and earth."

"Then why do you say it has little use?"

"Because within these five countries, there doesn't exist a technique for Yin and Yang fusion. Even in the years I've been overseas, I have never heard of anyone who can simultaneously cultivate the Yin and Yang Qi method. So this item is generally used for artifact refining, but the effect it can exert is very minimal!"

Yin and Yang Qi?

After hearing the Empress's voice transmission, Xu Que was stunned!

A technique for Yin and Yang fusion doesn't exist in the five countries, and not even overseas?

Damn, this world is too weak. I could casually pull out a few sets of Yin and Yang fusion techniques!

"So you mean to say, if there was a technique for Yin and Yang fusion, this thing would have great use?" Xu Que's eyes shone with brilliance.

The Empress was slightly startled, looked at Xu Que suspiciously, nodded, and said nothing!

But she was surprised in her heart; intuition told her that Xu Que's expression was definitely not right.

Could it be... he has a technique that allows Yin and Yang to fuse?

That's impossible. Such techniques did appear in ancient times, but they were lost long ago. How could he have one?
