Chapter 1147: Fourth Treasury Of Zhongshang

Zong Shou was in deep thought. If Xufu could really use his own body, then just he alone would be able to wipe out all the Saint Realm experts here.

Mingri Xuan would also have no chance of escaping from Xufu. He would only have to give up on that legacy artifact.

Since Xufu could only use a split soul body to fight, the Saint Realm experts here start to eye more items.

However, Xufu might have been allowing such a situation to occur.

Even Xufu’s incarnation wasn’t something that could be easily handled.

The main hall of the palace was where the Great Qin corpse army focused on. Zhongxuan was also there now. There were at least six or more Saint Realm Qi Cultivators there.

They didn’t seem like much but the six of them weren’t suppressed by the Dragon Formation and the Copper Men which was why everyone was terrified.

“Wait a while more. It is useless if only the six of us head there.”

Zong Shou took in a deep breath, “What is most important now is for us to contact Shiyue. Only this person is reliable and we can form an alliance with him.”

The six of them were just too weak. To head into that place, they needed around a dozen Saint Realm experts working together to be of any use.

Otherwise, it would be like flies pouncing into a fire, or they would just be paving the way for others.

“We have to consider defeat first before thinking about victory. We have to first search for a way out such that we can retreat safely if things go wrong!”

Zong Shou was speaking when he felt pain in his heart.

His vital energy seemed to flow backward and his internal energy nearly went out of control. His soul felt like it was being forcefully ripped apart into thousands of pieces.

He could clearly hear the sound of dragons roaring and phoenixes crying like they were going against something.

He raised his head up and he could see nine black dragons appearing. Opposite them were six red dragons.

A black wave swept the sky. The six red dragons were covered in wounds and were just barely holding on. However, each time the phoenix cried out, the six dragons would be pumped up and recover. Although they were outnumbered, they didn’t seem to be at too much of a disadvantage.

However, the scenes were really blurry, making one suspect whether or not it was an illusion that formed due to the pain.

Zong Shou’s eyes turned dark and his muscles constricted. Only after a short while did he come back to his senses.

Out of the six of them, Lin Xuanxuan was still okay. As for the other four, they were covered in sweat and their whole bodies were wet. Even Lin Xuanxuan had an ashen white face and her expression was really ugly.

“It is dragon aura...”

Shen Yuexuan panted and tried his best to stabilize himself, “The Qin Emperor should wake up soon. As expected from the only overlord who can unify the Cloud World, he is actually so strong!”

“Qin Emperor is definitely End Realm!”

Yuan Wushang said with much difficulty, “I have seen End Realm Saint Venerables before. None of them are stronger than this Qin Emperor.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. In terms of spiritual sense suppression and aura, even Wushang Yuan Demon was far weaker.

Before they even met, 60-odd miles away, this spiritual sense alone nearly caused her to kneel down and worship him.

Zong Shou didn’t feel much suppression, but his heart continued to twitch. It resonated with the presence that was in the main hall.

The aura was vast and majestic. It was still asleep but it was gigantic! It had an aura that looked down on everything and couldn’t be offended.

Was that the Qin Emperor?

Out of the six of them, only Zong Shou didn’t feel suppressed. Was it because he was an emperor?

Zong Shou took in a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the surging vital energy in his body.

“We can’t stay here anymore!”

The moment such a thought rose up, Zong Shou turned into a streak of light and brought the five of them into the space outside of the hall.

In the next moment, several giant ice shuttles surged over and smashed down, smashing the side hall into pieces!

Several bodies flashed and appeared nearby. They were all tall and large and wore black armor. They held halberds and their bodies were ashen grey.

However, when the few corpse generals appeared here, Zong Shou and the others were long gone.

Their remaining aura and energy were wiped out.

The Unlimited Beginning and End movement technique was not only unique in terms of speed, but the Black Hole Power was able to swallow all traces.

This time, Zong Shou only scattered the light after six breaths of time.

During the first breath, he had already gotten away from all the spiritual sense that reached over.

However, he was still worried. Only when the pain in his chest faded and the connection with the presence in the main hall was cut off did he stop this movement technique.

However, thanks to that, he finally had some inkling of an idea. During the six breaths, he went around the palace. He was able to use the two pages to sense the other page.

What he felt the most fortunate about was that it wasn’t near the dangerous main hall but actually relatively far from it.

He used the Royal Demon God Shuttle to silently carry all of them to the north side of the palace.

In just a short moment, they stopped in front of an unassuming hall.

When Zong Shou released them from the shuttle, Yuan Wushang looked around in shock.

The hall was really majestic, much better than the few halls of Gantian Mountain’s Hanyan Palace.

However, within this Ahfang Palace, it didn’t look like much.

Yuan Wushang’s gaze landed on the tablet in front of the hall, at the words Fourth Treasuries of Zhongshang.

“Where is this place?”

Yuan Wushang’s face was filled with doubt, “Fourth Treasury of Zhongshang... what a weird name.”

“It is the treasury of the Minor Treasurer! Under him are the five ministries and the three supervisors. The Zhongshang Ministry is one of them and it is in charge of the carvings and artifacts.”

Su Xiaoxiao was really well-read and knew the background of this treasury.

“Fourth Treasury of Zhongshang should refer to the fourth treasury of the ministry. However, since it is so far away, the items within should be really valuable but also abandoned things.”

Zong Shou also finally understood. The Minor Treasurer was in charge of all the income and was the artifact smith of the emperor family. Great Gan also had one. The blacksmiths, pill refiners, the mines, herb gardens, wind stone paths, and giant ships were all under it.

The Zhongshang Ministry was extremely important. Each year, the various vassal states would hand over many treasures; along with the items he brought back, the Zhongshang Ministry would deal with them.

The official system was around the same and Great Qin 10,000 years ago shouldn’t have been much different.

Speaking of which, wasn’t the page of the Imperial Destruction True Scripture an incomplete item?

“Store incomplete and abandoned items?”

Yuan Wushang didn’t understand it, “Even if it is valuable, since it is abandoned, it is useless so why are we here?”

Zong Shou didn’t reply and just walked towards the gate. He used the power of the Black Hole to absorb the door along with the restrictions on it.

Maybe because this place wasn’t that important, the Dragon Formation didn’t react at all and didn’t fight back.

Zong Shou was able to walk in very easily. His eyes were filled with the grand luster of the whole hall.

Yuan Wushang followed suit and he was instantly speechless. action

Spiritual light shone in the room.

On the rows of racks, there were many precious spiritual items. Fist sized Dragon Eye Beads, boxes of 10,000-year-old ginseng. There were even 200 God Realm and above Dragon Corpses.

The 3,000-foot hall was now 100,000 feet wide.

There were all sorts of expensive spiritual items.

If one had to say that there was something wrong with those items, it would be that each one of them had a flaw.

The Dragon Eye Beads weren’t perfectly circular. The ginseng was either damaged or lacked some roots.

As for the Dragon Corpses, most of them suffered heavy injuries.

Some didn’t have heads and some had broken bones.

Yuan Wushang took in a deep cold breath. His eyes were filled with surprise as he looked towards Su Xiaoxiao.

“You said that this place had all the abandoned items?”

The shape of the Dragon Eye Beads weren’t perfect but could be used to make artifacts and cultivate eye abilities. The 10 roots of 10,000-year ginseng could still be used to refine pills.

There were many others in similar situations. One didn’t have to talk about those corpses.

Just the treasury alone was as valuable as the items that Xi Zi left at the altar.

Maybe as it was far from where the thick corpse energy was, it also had a complete formation protecting, and the herbs here could be used.

“Is it not?”

Su Xiaoxiao felt regretful, and after a moment of being distracted, she sighed, “We can’t even fathom the number of spiritual items there were here 10,000 years ago.”

Her eyes were filled with joy. Based on how Zong Shou did things, she would get a part of all of this.

However, if they didn’t survive this, what was the point of having so many items?

Zong Shou looked around and walked towards the west while holding the Imperial Destruction True Scripture.

The items here were all placed in an orderly manner. But this place itself was slightly chaotic.

There were remnants of spiritual treasures or broken pages. It was all just piled here.

“Oh? These parts look familiar...”

Zong Shou stopped and reached out. Instantly, many different looking parts flew out.

He looked clearly and realized that they looked the same as the parts that Shen Yuexuan had crafted for him a few years ago.

“Is it?”

Zong Shou was delighted and was about to take out the Royal Demon God Shuttle once more when Shen Yuexuan said, “These must be the missing parts of the shuttle. Congratulations Your Majesty, this top Celestial Treasure will be repaired to its past glory!”
