The image of the huge gold coin slowly sank down, revealing a passage. Compared to the passage outside, this passage was much narrower, only allowing two people to walk side by side. Zhou Xiaoxiao said, "Down from here is the inner treasury. Ji Dong, you can't just sweep the inner treasury clean. There are actually quite a few good things in the outer treasury, and there are even demonic weapons of the Demonic Artifact level. You guys can take a look."
Fury's eyes flashed, and he said, "Fatty, don't be so stingy. You're letting us take whatever we want, so why not be generous? The more you say the outer treasury is good, the more we know the inner treasury is better. You're trying to go for wool and come home shorn."
Zhou Xiaoxiao helplessly said, "Okay, okay. Everyone, please follow me." After that, he walked down.
Walking down the tunnel for another hundred meters, they finally arrived at their destination. However, they were once again blocked by a door. Another two old men stood in front of them. Compared to the previous six consecrators, these two had a more solemn temperament. Their Demonic Energy fluctuations were also clearly stronger. They were Sovereign experts whose cultivation exceeded level 95.
Everyone couldn't help but be slightly surprised when they saw these two Supreme-Being experts, and Fury's reaction was especially obvious. However, the surprise on his face only flashed for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal.
The Silly Rich Chamber of Commerce was too powerful. Including Zhou Xiaoxiao and Lone Bamboo, they didn't have all ten elements, but they had ten supremes. This power was enough to fight the entire continent. The Silly Rich Chamber of Commerce wasn't rich enough to fight a country; it was rich enough to fight a continent. With their wealth and power, even if they kept this tradition for five thousand years, the Silly Rich Chamber of Commerce wouldn't fall.
Zhou Xiaoxiao said sternly, "Everyone here is a Heavenly Stem Saint, but I still have to emphasize that everyone here has seen the biggest secret of my Foolishly Rich Chamber of Commerce. Please keep it a secret and don't tell anyone. Fatty thanks you here." As he said that, he actually took the initiative to bow to the Heavenly Stem Saint with an extremely solemn expression.
Ji Dong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Leader Zhou. We won't tell anyone what we saw today."
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, then turned to the two level 95 and above worshippers and said respectfully, "Seniors, please open the door."
This time, he did not receive any criticism. The door of the palace treasury slowly opened, revealing a path.
When the door to the inner storeroom opened, the expressions of three people immediately changed. They were Ji Dong, Tianji, and Chen Sixuan. They had clearly sensed something attracting them, while the other Heavenly Stem Saints did not have much of a reaction.
Zhou Xiaoxiao walked in front and led the group into the inner treasury. Only after walking through the door did everyone realize that it was a stone room that was only about thirty square meters in size. Moreover, it was completely empty.
Without needing anyone to ask, Zhou Xiaoxiao had already moved. His hands pressed to both sides, and two strands of Geng Metal Demonic Power came out of his palms. Then, he overlapped his hands and struck hundreds of palms at lightning speed. His movements seemed to have a special rhythm, and each palm was not repeated. When the last palm was struck, Zhou Xiaoxiao's face showed a hint of exhaustion. Obviously, those palms he had struck just now contained demonic power.
Fatty Hyōhime explained, "Even if you come here, without the cultivation of a Supreme-Being, you can't open the mechanism here." Before he finished speaking, accompanied by the sound of gears, the surrounding stone walls slowly retreated, and secret compartments rose from the ground, slowly filling in the position of the previous stone walls.
Unlike the extravagant candlelight of the outer storehouse, there was no flickering of treasure light after these hidden compartments appeared, nor were there any rare treasures. Among the four walls, two of the hidden compartments that appeared were actually bookshelves. There were many simple and unadorned books on them, while the other two walls had boxes placed on them. It was unknown what they were.
"Skill books?" Ji Dong turned his head and looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded silently and said, "These are rare skill books that the Chamber of Commerce has collected through various means and money over the past five hundred years. Most of them are super killing skills. Only some special killing skills can be selected. If you need them, please copy them. The original must be left here."
Ji Dong shook his head and said, "You should not bite off more than you can chew. We already have enough skills. Unless you have a Creation Divine Skill here, it will not be of much use to us."
Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "That's true. You Heavenly Stem Saints should be the group that needs skill books the least. If it was an ordinary devil master who came here, I am afraid that they would not be willing to leave. When I first came here, I spent three years here and closed myself for three years before I was willing to leave. This was because the previous president repeatedly urged me to leave, fearing that I would go crazy. Otherwise, it might take longer."
Ji Dong nodded. Fatty was right. Skill books of ultimate killing techniques could be said to be priceless treasures. Generally speaking, even for a supreme expert, the number of ultimate killing techniques they possessed was very small, and different ultimate killing techniques could be used in different situations. In actual combat, the more ultimate killing techniques a supreme expert knew, especially those with special effects, the greater the possibility of defeating the opponent. After reaching the level of Nine Crowns, although magic power was important, ultimate killing techniques could determine the outcome of the entire war, so they were also extremely important. The value of these two walls of ultimate killing technique books could not be measured with money.
The reason why Ji Dong used words to block the way of the Heavenly Stem Saints was very simple. He could not lead everyone to waste time here. He had no time to waste.
Once everyone was immersed in practicing these skills, not only would their magic power progress be slow, but the time wasted was also unbearable for Ji Dong. Therefore, even though most of the Heavenly Stem Saints showed hope, Ji Dong resolutely made it clear to them that they could not learn skills here.
Everyone supported Ji Dong's decision unconditionally. It had been proven many times that Ji Dong's decisions were mostly correct. Even if there were some minor problems with his decisions, the Heavenly Stem Saints would still follow. A snake without a head could not work, and a dragon without a head was the most terrifying thing. A powerful group like the Heavenly Stem Saints needed a strong commander. Only then could everyone's strength be fully exerted.
Just as everyone reluctantly shifted their gazes away from the bookshelves, Tianji, who rarely spoke, was the first to move. He directly walked towards the hidden compartment where the boxes were placed, and stopped in front of a small grey box that was not very eye-catching. He stared at the box and clenched his fists tightly.
If this had happened to Yao Qianshu, no one would have been surprised at all. This guy loved money and was the best at identifying treasures. However, when it happened to Tianji, everyone could not help but be surprised. Tianji had a certain level of prediction ability, but ever since the calamity of the Holy Evil Island, he rarely made predictions for everyone. He usually followed everyone silently, and there were even times when the Heavenly Stem Saints had forgotten about his existence.
"President Zhou, can I have the things in this box?" Tianji suddenly turned around and said to Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course you can. However, I have to emphasize that if the things in the inner treasury are not one-time consumables, then after the Holy War, I will have to trouble everyone to return them. Although I am the president, the things here are too precious. I have no right to give them away. I hope everyone can understand."
The Heavenly Stem Saints nodded one after another to express their understanding. At this moment, Tianji raised his hands impatiently, carefully held the box in his palms, and gently opened the lid.
The small gray box was square, and its sides were about ten centimeters long. It was previously in a corner, and could be said to be the most inconspicuous place in the inner treasury, but Tianji chose it. Everyone wanted to see what Tianji had chosen, so no one paid attention to other places, and their eyes fell on Tianji alone.
Tianji took a deep breath. Ji Dong could clearly see that his hands were actually trembling as he held the box. Ever since Yun Tianji inherited the Tianji orthodoxy, this kind of situation was extremely rare. Ji Dong had always believed that in terms of mental stability, Tianji was above him. What exactly could make him so emotional? At this moment, even Ji Dong could not help but be curious.
The small gray box slowly opened in front of everyone's eyes. There were no mana fluctuations released because of the opening of the box. Logically speaking, such a small box could only hold gems or crystal cores, but there were no mana fluctuations released in front of them. It was obvious that it did not contain those things.
However, when the lid of the box was opened a little more, all the Heavenly Stem Saints, including Ji Dong, shivered. Without any warning, everyone's bodies trembled. They could clearly feel that there was suddenly a pair of eyes staring at them in this narrow room. This strange feeling could not help but cause an inexplicable chill to run down everyone's spine. Even Zhou Xiaoxiao was shocked by the same feeling, and the girls' expressions became even more unsightly.
Finally, Tianji opened the small box completely. What was presented to everyone was indeed a gemstone, but it was an extremely strange gemstone.
The gem was in the shape of a date seed, with two sharp ends and an oval middle. The entire gem did not emit any luster, and most of it was transparent. Only the center was black, and no matter how one looked at it, it looked like an eye.
"Ah!" Du Xin 'er suddenly screamed and said with a trembling voice, "That … That eye can move, it seems to be looking at me."
It was clearly a stone, how could it move? The chill on their bodies increased a little. At this moment, Tianji used his body to block the stone in the box and said with a trembling voice, "Everyone, don't look, or it will have an adverse effect on you. It's it, it's really it.
Fury's eyes were filled with shock, and he asked impatiently, "Tianji, what exactly is this thing? Shouldn't you give everyone an explanation first?"
Tianji nodded his head vigorously and said, "Great, this is really great. I didn't expect to find it here. No wonder more than ten generations of Tianji couldn't find any traces of it. It turns out that it's deep in this underground vault, and there's such a powerful formation outside to isolate it. No wonder we can't fight it."
Fury said impatiently, "Tianji, hurry up and tell us what it is. Don't be so wishy-washy."
Ji Dong looked at Fury doubtfully, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. Why did Senior Brother suddenly become so impatient after Tianji opened the box? One must know that with his familiarity with Fury, he naturally knew that this Senior Brother was not as straightforward as he appeared on the surface. How could Ji Dong not be surprised by such a sudden change in his mood!
Fury also seemed to realize that he had lost his composure. He scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, my tone was too harsh. Tianji, don't take it to heart."
Tianji silently shook his head, and said slowly in a somewhat strange voice, "The gem in this box has a special name, it's called the Stone of Misfortune. Apart from us, if any human or other living beings get their hands on it, then they will die within a hundred days without exception. However, to us, it has another name, it's called the Eye of Tianji. The one in my hand is the Light Eye of Tianji that has been missing for many years. More than ten generations of Tianji have spent their entire lives searching for it, but they couldn't find it. I didn't expect to find it here today. The heavens really have eyes, they didn't destroy our Five Elements Continent."
The Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples looked at each other with joy on their faces. This was definitely good news for them, but Ji Dong noticed that Senior Brother's breathing seemed to have become a little rapid. Although there was joy in his eyes, it was a little unnatural.
Tianji continued, "Does everyone always think that I'm much weaker than Darkness Tianji? Even before the Great Tribulation of the Holy and Evil Tribulation, Darkness Tianji was still able to summon the wind and summon the rain in the Five Elements Continent, while I was unknown. Actually, this is because we, Tianji, have long lost the Eyes of Tianji. Without the Eyes of Tianji, for us, it's like a Demon Master losing his magic power. The prediction ability and powerful soul deterrence ability of Tianji are many times weaker. Now that I've finally found the Eyes of Tianji, I finally have the chance to open my Eyes of Tianji."
