They entered the inner treasury.
The light dimmed.
Fortunately, he could see it clearly.
The room was filled with all kinds of treasures, weapons, secret manuals … It was a dazzling sight.
Conch hopped around curiously.
In the face of so many treasures, there was no one who wouldn't be curious.
Even the self-disciplined Duanmu Sheng could not help but look left and right.
From time to time, he would use the Overlord Spear to poke the blades and swords on the weapon rack.
The four elders, on the other hand, were much quieter. They casually touched and looked around, as if they were leaders inspecting.
"This saber isn't bad." Pan Zhong's eyes were glued to it … After all, up until now, he hadn't had a suitable weapon.
"This sword … Could it be the treasure of the Chengfeng Sect that was exterminated a long time ago, the Chengfeng Sword?" Zhou Jifeng picked up the sword and loved it so much that he almost drooled.
Pan Zhong leaned over and took a look. He nodded and said, "Brother, you have good taste!"
Bang!
The Overlord Spear stabbed forward, accurately hitting the blade of the Flying Sword.
After poking.
Duanmu Sheng no longer looked at the sword. Instead, he shook his head slightly. "Is an earth-grade artifact worthy of joining the Evil Sky Pavilion?"
These words rendered the two speechless, and they did not dare to retort.
You have the Heaven-ranked Overlord Spear, so of course you don't care.
I'm empty-handed every day. Who am I going to reason with?
What's wrong with me liking Earth-rank? Mister Third, you can't go too far!
Crack.
The Wind-Riding Sword broke apart.
Zhou Jifeng was stunned for a moment before he said, "You're right, Mister Third. How can such trash join the Evil Sky Pavilion?!"
Everyone continued forward.
Lu Zhou did not expect the inner treasury to be so huge. After walking for a while, he still had not reached the end.
The Empress Dowager was indifferent to the things on both sides, as if she came here often.
Li Yunzhao said, "The late Emperor placed the Empress Dowager in charge of the palace treasury … All these years, she's been cautious and conscientious, not daring to slack. After the late Emperor passed away, the Empress Dowager still insisted on it. "
The Empress Dowager stopped in her tracks.
He turned around and faced the crowd.
The Empress Dowager slowly said, "Take whatever you like from the palace treasury."
When Lu Zhou's disciples heard this, they were delighted. They jumped around like a bunch of monkeys who had never seen the world.
Li Yunzhao was dumbfounded.
He thought to himself, 'The Evil Sky Pavilion disciples all have heaven-grade weapons. Would they even be interested in the items in the inner warehouse?'
Lu Zhou shouted.
"How improper!"
The disciples were startled and did not dare to move.
The empress dowager said, "I almost forgot … given your status, you really do not care for the things in the palace treasury."
Zhou Jifeng wanted to cry.
Don't, I like him! How he wished he could bring them all home!
The Empress Dowager pointed at the box in the corner and said, "When Liu Ge was on the throne, he repeatedly reminded me to guard this box well. Li Yunzhao … "
"Here."
Li Yunzhao waved his hand.
The box flew out.
It fell under the light.
The black box was covered with a layer of dust.
He waved his hand again, and the dust scattered.
Lu Zhou looked at the box.
Hmm?
Familiar patterns!
The patterns on the box were extremely similar to the patterns on Lin Xin's armor, but … why were the patterns black?
The Empress Dowager said, "In order not to attract attention, I smeared this chest with ink and turned it black."
"…"
The older, the wiser.
"What was its original color?"
"Red."
Sure enough.
Lu Zhou's expression remained unchanged. He looked at the box and asked, "Who did this box come from?"
"The emperor once said that this item came from the Imperial tutor. Before the Imperial tutor left, he left behind a few things: a sword, a brush, and a box. The sword is nowhere to be found. "
Based on her tone, it was clear that the Empress Dowager was unaware that Liu Ge was still alive.
Perhaps, Liu Ge did not want her to know as well. That was why he kept it a secret.
It must be painful to live by absorbing life force with runes. It was like living among the living dead.
Nobody in the world could live past their great limit. Even if they had various methods, they would only prolong their death.
Since she did not know, there was no need to tell her.
The Empress Dowager continued to say, "To open the box, one must have the power of a Nine-leaf cultivator … It's difficult to open it with any other power."
She had thought someone from the Imperial family would reach the Nine-leaf stage first.
Liu Gu thought so as well. If he reached the Nine-leaf stage and obtained the item in the box, he would be able to unite the Ten Thousand Tribes and build a great empire.
Alas, Liu Gu was still one step behind.
Lu Zhou's expression was calm, but inwardly, he was vexed.
'I'm only a f * cking Five-leaf cultivator. My extraordinary power has been drained. How am I supposed to open it?'
Pan Zhong said, "Pavilion Master … This treasure box seems to be tailor-made for you!"
Pan Litian said, "Looks like this box isn't an ordinary item. Please open it, Pavilion Master. I'll broaden my horizons."
The others nodded.
The Empress Dowager chimed in, "I've guarded this for centuries, and I wonder what's inside. If the Evil Sky Pavilion can open it, I'll be able to rest in peace."
Lu Zhou had saved her life before.
Even if Lu Zhou wanted the box, she would not refuse.
Lu Zhou gauged his extraordinary power.
Awkward.
He recalled the Heavenly Writing mantra and repeated it in his mind.
'I'll give it a try.
Even if it doesn't work, can they force me to open it? '
Lu Zhou lowered his palm. There was no blue energy between his fingers.
Instead, he placed his palm on the box.
Bam!
When his thick palm landed on the box, Lu Zhou hoped his fingers would shine with a blue radiance.
Alas, it did not appear.
'This …
My face … '
He was still feeling awkward when a faint blue radiance flashed across his fingers.
It only lasted for an instant.
However, to everyone's surprise, a crisp sound rang from the box.
The Empress Dowager's eyes widened slightly. She said with slight excitement, "I've tried all sorts of methods, but they couldn't open it … I didn't expect this …"
It was normal for the others to not be excited.
The Empress Dowager, who had tried all sorts of methods, knew how difficult it was to open it.
Li Yunzhao said, "I can testify that even His Majesty couldn't open this box. His Majesty once unleashed his grand Eight-leaf technique and hacked at it for an entire night, but nothing happened."
"…"
"That's mighty, Pavilion Master!" The four elders were convinced.
Lu Zhou was no longer interested in their flattery. He pressed his palm down.
The box split open.
It fell in all directions.
The Heavenly Writing's extraordinary power opened the box like a key.
The box was instantly torn apart, turning into a pile of junk.
However, there were two items in the middle that caught his attention.
There was an envelope made of special material and an exquisite, rectangular brocade box.
Lu Zhou picked it up.
Apart from him, nobody dared to touch the brocade box.
When he picked up the envelope, he felt a cool sensation on his skin.
The envelope was no ordinary envelope. It must have been made to prevent it from rotting.
Lu Zhou opened the envelope.
As expected, there was a letter inside!
"Stand back!" Duanmu Sheng raised his Overlord Spear.
The others retreated.
His intention was clear. Apart from their master, nobody should even think about reading this.
The letter read:
"If someone can open this box, it means someone here has reached the Nine-leaf stage. Moreover, this person should be you, who's holding the letter.
"It's nice to meet you. The first, second, or third Nine-leaf cultivator in the world? Heh … That's not important anymore.
I have to tell you that you're guiding a world disaster. "
