Qin Yang pondered. Although Lei Ting was loyal to the throne, he shouldn't be a fool.
Since the substitute managed to escape death, if Qin Yang was him, he would definitely find a place to hide or leave the Cangyue Peninsula and live in seclusion.
Lei Peng clearly knew that the throne wasn't stable, but he still wanted it. He was simply courting death.
"Could it be that there's a secret behind this?"
Qin Yang thought to himself. Lei Peng was the Crown Prince. Killing his own father was a risky move. Why did he do it? In his previous life, Qin Yang thought that Lei Peng simply wanted the throne. But now that he thought about it, perhaps it wasn't just that.
"Principal Wei, I will personally deal with him. Farewell!"
Qin Yang left in a hurry. He had a faint premonition that Lei Peng's passion for the throne wasn't just for the throne. There might be other benefits to becoming the Thunder Empire's Emperor.
If that was the case, the benefits wouldn't be ordinary.
One must know that Lei Peng was taking a huge risk by killing his own father to ascend the throne. As the Crown Prince of the Thunder Empire, Lei Peng had seen many good things.
… …
"Open the Monarch Tower!"
Lei Peng said in a deep voice. He had just arrived at a secret base of the Thunder Empire's royal family. This place was a few hundred meters under the imperial city.
Even though Lei Peng was the Crown Prince, he had never been here before.
This place was only accessible to the Thunder Empire's Emperor. There were secret elites of the Thunder Empire guarding this place. There were also powerful demonic plants guarding this place.
By chance, Lei Peng found out about the location of the Monarch Tower.
The Monarch Tower wasn't made by the Thunder Empire. It had existed for a long time. In fact, the Thunder Empire chose this place because the Monarch Tower was here!
This was a secret that the Thunder Empire's Emperor had kept for eight to nine hundred years.
"Your Majesty, we need to verify it!"
An old man guarding this place said in a deep voice.
Lei Peng took out the Thunder Empire's Great Seal and said coldly, "Although you are here, you should know some news about the outside world. Don't you know that I am the Emperor of the Thunder Empire?"
"Your Majesty, we know. But in order to prevent people from impersonating your Majesty, please cooperate. This place is extremely important to the Thunder Empire!"
The old man didn't budge.
"How do we verify it?"
Lei Peng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
The old man took out a piece of spiritual jade. "Your Majesty, there are a total of three verification methods. You can only enter if you pass all of them."
"The first method is to test your bloodline with a drop of blood."
"Your Majesty, just drip a drop of blood onto this spiritual jade."
Very quickly, the Thunder Roc dripped his blood. However, the verification speed was not that fast. It took four to five minutes for the verification to end. Naturally, there was no problem.
"The second method is to verify your Martial Spirit. Your Majesty, please release your Martial Spirit."
Everyone's Martial Spirit was basically different. If someone were to impersonate the Thunder Roc, they would need the same Martial Spirit as the Thunder Roc, which was quite difficult.
"The third one is the Imperial Clan's Cultivation Technique, and the Imperial Clan's Martial Technique is verified."
Lei Peng and the others had been learning the cultivation techniques of the royal family since they were young. They had also learned the martial skills of the Thunder Empire's royal family. If someone were to impersonate themselves as Lei Peng, it would not be easy to disguise themselves.
After tossing and turning for a while, he finally passed the third test. Lei Peng heaved a sigh of relief and looked excited.
Lei Peng faked his death. If it wasn't for the benefits in the Emperor Tower, he wouldn't have killed his father and proclaimed himself as the Emperor. He also didn't plan to be the Emperor of the Thunder Empire for a long time. He wanted to leave as soon as possible after obtaining the things here. Once he became stronger in the future, it wouldn't be a problem for him to establish a bigger empire.
"Imperial Father and the previous Emperors followed the ancestral teachings and only obtained a little bit of benefits from the Emperor Tower every three years. They were too slow!"
"I will take all the benefits in one go. When I obtain all of them, I will become a peak expert and the Thunder Empire will develop even better!"
"Imperial Father, your spirit in heaven will be able to rest in peace when the time comes!"
Lei Peng clenched his fists tightly. His palms were a little warm. If he could obtain the benefits in the Emperor Tower, he believed that he would be able to improve greatly in a short period of time.
"Qin Yang walked out of the Cangyue Peninsula and gained quite a reputation. When the time comes, I will be even more powerful than him!"
"He even let Gu Changqing kill us. Just wait and see!"
"Qin Yang, Gu Changqing, both of you will die!"
A faint killing intent surged in Lei Peng's heart.
Half a minute later, Qin Yang arrived at the Thunder Empire's side. However, he didn't know where Lei Peng was. It was at this moment that Qin Yang sensed the killing intent emitted by Lei Peng.
"Deep underground?"
Qin Yang revealed a surprised expression. The isolation of a few hundred meters was quite strong. However, Qin Yang was much stronger than Lei Peng now. He could still sense it clearly.
"This direction!"
"Underneath the imperial city!"
Qin Yang directly entered the imperial city. Since he was invisible, no one noticed his arrival. With the general direction, Qin Yang soon found the secret passage.
"Pfff! Pfff!"
Rays of blade qi shot out and instantly killed several guards outside the secret passage. In order to not attract attention, the guards outside had ordinary strength.
"Emperor Tower, here I come!"
"I, Lei Peng, will become a peerless expert!"
Lei Peng laughed wildly in his heart.
In front of him, the Emperor Tower had already opened. Many of the Thunder Empire's elites guarding the tower respectfully retreated to the sides.
Lei Peng was about to enter.
"Boom!"
At this moment, in the underground space where Lei Peng and the others were, the two-foot-thick black iron door was instantly blasted open. The huge black iron door was directly sent flying.
"Protect the Emperor!"
The guard leader shouted. Lei Peng's expression changed drastically. He immediately wanted to rush into the Emperor Tower.
"Die!"
After entering, Qin Yang didn't hesitate and immediately made his move. If there was a backup plan in this place, this place might be destroyed, and the benefits would be gone!
The strongest guard here was at the Essence Core Realm. However, with Qin Yang's attack power at the Dharma Body Realm, a large amount of blade light appeared. In an instant, only Lei Peng wasn't dead.
The reason why Qin Yang spared Lei Peng's life was because he needed Lei Peng alive to get the benefits!
"You, you!"
Lei Peng's soul was about to leave his body. He wanted to rush into the Emperor Tower, but a layer of enchantment appeared in front of him. He crashed into the enchantment.
"Look at me!"
Qin Yang immediately hypnotized Lei Peng. At this moment, he couldn't talk too much!
"Emperor Tower."
"This is the style from hundreds of thousands of years ago!"
"Could it be that thing?"
Qin Yang's eyes were filled with excitement. Before his rebirth, he knew that there was a treasure called the Emperor's Seal. The Emperor's Seal wasn't a ninth-grade treasure. It was a taboo treasure!
However, for some unknown reason, the Emperor's Seal had split apart a long time ago. There were many experts who fought fiercely for the fragments of the Emperor's Seal. However, after one of the experts obtained four fragments of the Emperor's Seal, he realized that the remaining four fragments were missing. There should be one missing!
Although the incomplete Emperor's Seal wasn't weak, it couldn't be compared to the complete Emperor's Seal. That expert was very depressed.
Later on, that expert spent a lot of time looking for the last fragment of the Emperor's Seal. However, he didn't succeed.
"Where the remaining fragments were, there are powerful sealing structures. This Emperor Tower is a sealing structure. There is a high chance that the last fragment of the Emperor's Seal is inside!"
Qin Yang entered the Emperor Tower.
There were memorial tablets of the past emperors of the Thunder Empire on the bottom floor. The emperors of the Thunder Empire probably thought that by placing the memorial tablets of their ancestors here, the Thunder Empire would be able to last for a long time.
The Emperor Tower wasn't very tall. It was only a few dozen meters tall. There were many treasures on the second floor. They were the savings of the Thunder Empire. If Qin Yang saw these things in the past, he would be very excited. These things were worth a lot to the Qin Yang in the past. But now, they were just ordinary in his eyes.
Of course, even if they were ordinary, Qin Yang still kept them in his interspatial ring. It would be a waste if he didn't take them!
After entering the third floor, Qin Yang saw a total of eighteen coiling dragon pillars. Each pillar was one meter thick and ten meters tall. These coiling dragon pillars formed a circle with a circular platform in the middle. On the circular platform, there was a jade table. On the jade table, there was a black pearl floating above it.
The eighteen stone pillars with coiling dragons were connected to the black pearl by some kind of power.
"It really is the fifth part of the Emperor's Seal!"
Qin Yang took a deep breath. The Emperor's Seal was very mysterious. It was divided into five parts. Each part didn't look broken. Each part had turned into a pearl.
In the past, Qin Yang only knew the colors of four of the pearls. They were white, purple, red, and gold. Now, he also knew the color of the fifth one. It was black.
Qin Yang could feel that the power contained in this pearl was very powerful!
The five pearls of the Emperor's Seal had different powers. Qin Yang felt that this black pearl was the most powerful. However, it was also the most sinister.
Qin Yang could feel a powerful dark power inside this pearl. If one's willpower wasn't strong enough and came in contact with this thing for a long time, they might be controlled by this pearl!
