Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

The mystery person stared at the underground city, completely empty and bare.

His gaze flashed blankly.

He remembered that the underground city was still perfectly intact when he had been chasing that mortal guy

down!

The mortal had just taken the scepter and the heart away.

Everything else had still been there…

There had been many, many things too…

The mystery person had only come across them after a long, long time down here…!

How could they have disappeared just like that?

The mystery person could not, for the life of him, figure it out, only drawing one conclusion:

He had been going the wrong way!

That mortal tricked him!

The mortal had just vanished before his eyes, and there was no way he could have gotten that far! The mystery

person had even tried checking the bottom of the Abyss of Ghosts!

It seemed like the mortal had not vanished at all and had just teleported to the cave as a trick…

How had he managed to teleport, though?

The cave was where Emperor Greenbow had stowed his treasures.

The only explanation was that the mortal was the reincarnation of Emperor Greenbow!

The mystery person knew just how powerful the mortal had been, and there was no way the mortal could have

escaped on his own. Which meant it was the scepter that had taken him away.

The scepter only listened to Emperor Greenbow, which further strengthened this point. Also, Emperor Greenbow

would have definitely foreshadowed what happened today.

The mystery person was overcome with frustration. How could he have been so careless?

He was going to lose his mind!

It was bad enough that he had not been able to inherit Emperor Greenbow’s treasures.

Now he had even let Emperor Greenbow’s reincarnation get away!

The mystery person let out a growl, striking the cave in front of him in anger before storming off.

Who had taken the contents of the cave away, then?

Everything happened an hour ago!

Over at the Luminous Cave

Blake gave Lilly a fixed location and said, “Try building a portal to get here.”

Lilly frowned, confused. “Where is this, Daddy?”

Blake said, “It’s a good place. Gold and treasures everywhere.”

Lilly’s eyes lit up.

Of course she was going to go there!

Within the next half hour, Lilly had built a portal connecting to Mount Cape!

Both father and daughter appeared in the underground city of the cave!

Blake had no idea then that Ivan had just disappeared and that the mystery person had just left the cave for the

Abyss of Ghosts.

Had they been earlier or later in the slightest, they would have run into each other.

There was no way for Blake to protect Lilly with how powerful he was at the moment. He would have never brought

Lilly here if he knew who was around.

“Is this the place?” Lilly stared blankly at the cave in front of her.

The place Lilly and her father were standing seemed to be the ‘peak’ of the cave. She could see an underground

city just by looking down.

The underground city, however, looked pretty plain. It was filled with these dull-looking buildings; could the gold and

treasure be inside of them?

“Let’s go.” Blake soared towards the underground city, an impatient Lilly in tow.

Lilly’s eyes were lit up like stars. “Whoa, Daddy, you can fly now?”

Blake chuckled, stroking her head. “I’ll teach you when we get back.”

Lilly nodded furiously. “Okay, okay! We’ve got to focus on the gold and treasure!”

Blake huffed in amusement. This little girl, destined to be one of the most powerful beings in the universe, was

actually so hung up on material things.

Lilly walked along with Blake. It was then that they realized the buildings they had seen from the top of the cave

were graves.

In the mortal realm, humans would build graves to mourn their loved ones. Some of them were more simple, with

just a single gravestone.

Some of them were more lavish, with a small porch sheltering the gravestone and various other embellishments.

These graves here seemed to be of the more lavish kind. They were, however, much bigger in size, and Lilly felt like

she had shrunk half her size walking among them.

The graves in front were even more luxurious. Blake walked right past them, heading to the temple with Lilly in tow.

Lilly could not help but ask, “Daddy, where’s the gold?”

Blake stifled a laugh.

He raised his brows, looking around him. “Each one of these graves is pretty much a piece of nuwatite.”

He continued with an explanation. “Nuwatite’s a very precious stone… It was used to fix a hole in the heavens

once.”

“Of course, we’re not going to use it for that now… but it’s pretty handy for fixing a broken arm or leg.”

“It’s most useful right now, to fix our broken Underworld Order.”

Of course… The Order was most important.

Lilly widened her eyes. “D*mn!”

What a cool thing! What a very cool thing!

“Daddy, can I take all of them? Do they belong to anyone?” Lilly asked politely, trying to suppress her excitement.

Blake glanced at the middle of the underground city. “No, these are all for you….”

Whatever was supposed to be in the middle had been taken away.

Had Emperor Greenbow… come back?

Blake was a little confused. If he was back, why did he just take the most important thing in the middle and leave

without leaving behind any news?

Blake could not understand.

Whatever, he thought to himself. He was already here, and he was going to take the good stuff.

The ‘grown-ups’ had discussed beforehand that they would leave behind some things that would come in handy for

Lilly’s cultivation.

Which meant that Emperor Greenbow had left his treasures behind, but so had the others…

These were all ‘gifts’ for Lilly.

“Lilly, let’s go to the temple first… Lilly?!”

Blake turned around, and his jaw dropped open.

He had only lost sight of the kid for a few seconds.

His darling little girl was waving her spirit jar in the air, running along as she collected the gravestones one by one.

She took the little porch built over them as well, even the stones used to pave the ground.

How… thorough.

Blake smirked at the sight.
