The Foundation of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda's First Floor
As soon as the Five Elements Great Emperor finished speaking, the last wisp of his soul within the Yao-Sealing Pagoda dissipated.
For a long time, Ye Zichen's ears reverberated with the Great Emperor's desolate, helpless words.
From accepting the landscape paintings as their master to their conversation in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, the Great Emperor's final words had all been about getting revenge for him. It was obvious that Zhou Wu had used despicable methods to kill him. This was an obsession the Great Emperor would never be able to erase.
Ye Zichen stood in the great hall for a long time, but he didn't try to comprehend the paintings.
He was sure that if he really did try, it would take up a lot of time. His body was still outside the Axe Gang, so he couldn't meditate too deeply. He had to stay vigilant at all times.
The hall was constructed like an ancient royal palace. There was a door behind the Five Elements Great Emperor's throne.
There were five symbols on the door. After looking at them, Ye Zichen knew that if he wanted to open it, he needed the power of the five elements.
He circulated the power of the five elements in his arms and pushed the door open. The five symbols lit up one after another.
With a loud bang, Ye Zichen pushed the door open without even needing to use any strength.
He stepped into the rear courtyard of the palace and saw countless luxuriant immortal herbs. The herb garden stretched so far that he couldn't see the end of it. Furthermore, there were quite a few people inside, carefully tending to the herb garden.
Most of them were sky immortals and immortal kings. There were even a few supreme-level experts among them.
There were several rooms around the herb garden.
Pill refining room.
Artifact refining room.
The talisman room.
Ye Zichen's appearance startled the busy crowd. In an instant, they all put down what they were doing and bowed to Ye Zichen.
"Master."
Over ten thousand sky immortals, immortal kings, and even supremes called him master. Even Ye Zichen, who'd seen his fair share of worldly affairs, couldn't help but be shocked.
Suddenly, he recalled what the Five Elements Great Emperor had told him. These were all pets he'd captured in the past.
Were they all yao?
Ye Zichen suppressed his shock and turned to the crowd.
"Which one of you is in charge?"
With that, two men and one woman stepped out of the crowd.
Although they didn't reveal their auras, Ye Zichen could sense their boundless spiritual energy. Even Ye Zichen felt a faint sense of pressure when he faced them.
"This subordinate is Jiao Qi, the leader of the first floor of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. My true form is a Scarlet Flame Leopard and I'm a ninth-stage Earth Supreme. These two are Lei Zhen and Meng Huairong. Their true forms are Black Tiger and Blue Sky Sparrow respectively. They're both ninth-stage Earth Supremes, and they assist me in managing this floor. "
When he mentioned the other two, Ye Zichen looked towards them as well.
Lei Zhen, who stood beside Jiao Qi, appeared especially tall and sturdy. His gaze was sharp and fierce.
When he sensed Ye Zichen's gaze, he intentionally retracted his ferocious expression and nodded with a smile.
Blue Yunque smiled sweetly at Ye Zichen. She was petite to begin with, and when paired with her sweet smile, she looked like a girl-next-door. It was easy for anyone to want to protect her.
But this little sister was a ninth-stage earth supreme expert, the deputy commander of the first floor of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
On the Divine Mountain, there were Earth Supremes, Sky Supremes, Diviners, and Rulers …
These four levels were further divided into nine sub-stages. For example, after reaching the ninth stage, the three of them could become sky supremes.
Ninth-stage earth supremes!
When he heard their strength, Ye Zichen's heart thudded. The Five Elements Great Emperor lived up to his reputation as a peak existence of the god race. Even a random pet he'd captured was an earth supreme-level expert.
And this was only the first floor, yet there were already earth supremes.
According to the divisions of strength, if the second floor was sky supremes and the third diviners, then wouldn't the fourth floor be … rulers?
In the God Race, Sovereigns were considered peak experts. Any Sovereign could cause the entire Divine Mountain to tremble with a single stomp of his foot.
If the Five Elements Great Emperor had captured even rulers ….
Ye Zichen didn't dare think about it any further!
However, Jiao Qi's introduction hadn't stopped.
"There are over seven hundred earth supremes, over five thousand immortal kings, and countless sky immortals. Among them, there were more than four hundred alchemists, and fifteen of them were ninth grade alchemists. There are over two hundred and seventy artifact refiners, twelve of whom are ninth rank or higher. There are over five hundred and twenty talisman masters, seven of whom are ninth rank or higher. In truth, this is only the first floor, so there aren't that many experts. In truth, this is only the first floor. If Master can open the second and third floors, you'll see even more experts. I heard that the fourth floor even has ruler-level experts! "
Gulp.
Ye Zichen's mind went blank. Pill refiners, artifact refiners, and talisman masters were rare existences in the God Realm, but here in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, there were over a hundred of them?
There were even earth supremes? There were over seven hundred of them ….
On the fourth floor, the Five Elements Great Emperor had really captured rulers.
In the Yao Realm, ruler-level yao should be considered yao emperors, right? He'd captured them just like that?
Ye Zichen couldn't calm his shock, but when he considered that he was their master, he had to maintain his status, so he found a random topic to talk about.
"Then what are you doing here?" Ye Zichen arched his brows.
"The old master left us here to take care of the herb gardens, as well as to refine artifacts, pills, and talismans. For hundreds of thousands of years, we've adhered to the old master's orders and dared not slack off in the slightest," replied Jiao Qi.
Go to hell!
What was there to be steady about? Nevermind Ye Zichen, even a random supreme, diviner, or even a ruler would freak out if they heard this!
Hundreds of thousands of years!
The Yao-Sealing Pagoda had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and they hadn't slacked off in the slightest. They'd continuously refined pills, artifacts, and talismans.
What kind of wealth was that?
Besides, this was only the first floor. The second, third, and fourth floors were just like the first floor. They'd accumulated resources for hundreds of thousands of years!
No wonder the Five Elements Great Emperor had said that without the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, his family clan had no hope of rising to prominence. If the entire Yao-Sealing Pagoda was opened, they'd become a complete peak-level family clan.
And a peak-level family clan with hundreds of thousands of years of foundation!
With this kind of foundation, what was the God Emperor? Ye Zichen was nothing!
Now that he had this kind of resources, nevermind the God Emperor, Ye Zichen was confident he could even take down the God Emperor's old man.
And the God Emperor?
However, he couldn't bite off more than he could chew. Although the Yao-Sealing Pagoda's foundation was deep, what he'd obtained was only the tip of the iceberg.
It was better to play it safe.
Of course, with this kind of foundation, he could pull off a few tricks ….
