Star Plucking Tower was seven stories tall, but according to the information that Emperor Yuan Feng had given to Ling Dong, the seven stories of Star Plucking Tower were just for decoration.
The most important part of Star Plucking Tower was the underground palace beneath it!
It was said to be a hundred meters long and fifty meters wide underground palace. And the underground palace beneath Star Plucking Tower was the treasury of the previous dynasty that the Bi Royal Family had been trying to obtain for a thousand years!
Logically speaking, no matter how sturdy a building was, it wouldn't be able to withstand the wind and frost of Thousand Creation. What's more, it was a building that the Emperor of an Empire had set his heart on.
According to Emperor Yuan Feng's instructions, every Emperor of Alkaid Empire would think of a way to open the treasury of the previous dynasty after inheriting the throne. After all, lifespan was something that all Emperors cared about the most!
At its worst, there was a huge commotion two hundred meters away from the former dynasty's underground palace treasury beside Zhai Xing Lou! The Empire had arranged for troops to dig up everything within two hundred meters of Star Plucking Tower.
Even the bottom of the treasury, which was made of a special metal, was dug up, leaving only a few square meters of space to support the entire underground palace!
For the Empire's power, this kind of thing was too easy! The idea of the Alkaid Empire's Emperors was also very simple. They wanted to use the most destructive method to open the treasury of the previous dynasty.
But they still didn't succeed. The outermost protective array was a natural barrier that prevented them from opening the treasury. The worst thing was that the outermost protective array couldn't be violently attacked!
Ordinary arrays, even if they couldn't be opened, could be destroyed with brute force! But the array protecting the treasury couldn't be destroyed with brute force!
It was said that the protective array formation protecting the underground vault was the masterpiece of Miao Baizheng, the founder of the Mountain Range Array Formation!
If one were to forcefully use violence to destroy the protective array of the former dynasty's underground treasury, it would trigger a chain of arrays. It was said that the chain of arrays here was a self-destructing array!
At the same time that the Guardian Formation was destroyed, the strongest Self Destruction Formation within it would be activated. Supposedly, the might of the Self Destruction Formation wasn't just capable of instantly obliterating everything within the treasure vault, it was capable of obliterating anything within an area of 20 kilometers around it!
In other words, if the Guardian Array was forcefully destroyed, not only would the Alkaid Empire be unable to obtain a single thing from the treasury of the previous dynasty, even the thousand-year-old Alkaid City, including the Imperial Palace, would be mostly destroyed!
The price of forcefully destroying the treasury was too great for the Alkaid Empire to bear, and they wouldn't be able to obtain any treasures. This was the reason why the treasury hadn't been opened even after eight hundred years in the hands of the Bi Royal Family!
However, the Yaoguang Empire had never given up on this treasure trove that held the hope of lifting the curse of the imperial family! Not only were they secretly searching for the Spirit Slave Ring, but every hundred years, they would excavate the area around Zhai Xing Lou to see if there was any possibility that the power of the Guardian Chain Array would fail or weaken!
However, the treasury had been in the hands of the Alkaid Empire for eight hundred years, and the outermost array protecting the treasury showed no signs of weakening!
"Junior Brother, the first floor of the Star Plucking Tower is very clean! There should be people cleaning it every day! "Qiu Qingyi said after entering the slightly cold Star Plucking Tower!
"Of course, the top floor of the treasury of the previous dynasty is the place where the memorial tablets of the Alkaid Empire's ancestors are enshrined! However, I really don't understand why the Imperial Family would place the memorial tablets inside the Star Plucking Tower, since the Star Plucking Tower is heavily excavated every hundred years! "
At this point, Ling Dong suddenly pointed at an inconspicuous bronze door on the first floor of the Star Picking Tower that had already turned black. "Let's go, Senior Sister. Let's go down from here. This is the entrance to the underground palace's treasury!"
"Senior Sister, be careful. Although the Imperial Family has explored it for so many years and there are no more traps, there might be hidden dangers." But there might be some hidden dangers! "Ling Dong said with concern.
Following Qiu Qingyi's response, Ling Dong and Qiu Qingyi walked down the stairs and entered the treasury of the previous dynasty, which was a huge headache for the Imperial Family!
The entrance to the underground palace was very deep. Light footsteps echoed at the entrance of the underground palace, giving it a feeling of emptiness.
There weren't many steps, and they finished walking 30 steps. When they stepped on the last step and bent down slightly, Ling Dong and Qiu Qingyi's eyes suddenly lit up.
The passageway suddenly widened from two meters to ten meters. What caught Ling Dong and Qiu Qingyi's attention the most was that there was an extra layer of extremely dim greenish-black light in the passageway that suddenly widened.
That layer of extremely dim greenish-black light looked extremely heavy. However, Ling Dong and Qiu Qingyi could still see through that layer of extremely dim greenish-black light and see a majestic bronze door hidden inside!
There were dragons and beasts carved on the door, and it looked extremely imposing! Above the door, there were a few words that couldn't be seen clearly!
"Is this the Chain Formation that has troubled the Yaoguang Empire's Imperial Family for eight hundred years and was unable to open it?" Ling Dong sighed as he looked at the dim green-black hazy brilliance that extended out.
To be honest, the aura of the protective array that guarded the underground palace's treasury was not strong. It could only block a full blow from a Heaven Dipper Realm expert!
However, it was this not strong protective array that had trapped the Yaoguang Empire for 800 years!
"It seems a little strange?" Qiu Qingyi, who Ling Dong brought along, was not weak in array formation. She murmured softly and stepped forward. Her slender hand lightly pressed on the greenish-black light.
Ling Dong didn't stop her. Using this method, he could sense part of the protective array's situation!
"Sizzle … Hua …"
Just as Qiu Qingyi's hand touched the indistinct light, her hand was suddenly bounced away, and the ordinary indistinct indistinct protective light started to change rapidly.
In an instant, the entrance of the underground palace, which had been extremely dim, was abnormally bright, even a little dazzling.
"Watch out!" Almost at the same time when Ling Dong caught Qiu Qingyi, who was bounced off by the protective array, the protective array, which originally didn't look strong, had completed a great change!
The greenish-black brilliance had already turned into a dazzling green color. Majestic energy waves were faintly emitted from the array. The defensive power that Ling Dong had felt was not that strong earlier had instantly increased by more than ten times!
"This Spirit Formation is actually so advanced? It has two states. If someone attacks it, it will show the strongest state immediately! There is a reason why this protective array has stood for thousands of years! "Ling Dong exclaimed.
In Ling Dong's perception, the protective array that was attacked, even the strongest Gang Spirit Realm practitioner in the present world couldn't break it! Perhaps Ling Dong's strongest move, Three Stars Break the Sky, could break it!
"It seems that it's impossible for me to understand the wonderful masterpiece of Senior Miao, the ancestor of the serial array, through perception!" Qiu Qingyi said.
At the same time, Ling Dong had the same idea! Using the power of the Divine Soul to perceive the structure of the array was also one of the best ways to break the array and secretly learn from it. Of course, this method only worked on the protective array!
Ling Dong didn't believe it. He put his hand on the protective array several times. However, the moment his hand touched it, he was bounced off by a great counterforce.
Since he couldn't secretly learn from it, Ling Dong didn't want to waste time. He was ready to take out the Star-commanding Ring, which was the so-called Spirit Slave Ring, to open the protective array!
With a thought, a shining silver Star-commanding Ring detached from the Star Master Plate and flew out from the top of Ling Dong's head to the protective array of the underground palace of the former dynasty!
According to the method recorded in the secret book left by Emperor Tiancheng, the founding emperor of the Yaoguang Empire, Ling Dong got from Emperor Yuanfeng, injected a trace of Divine Soul and Gang Qi into the Star-commanding Ring, and then controlled it to slowly touch the protective light curtain!
"Hiss … Woo …"
When Ling Dong controlled the Star-commanding Ring to slowly approach the protective light curtain, the dazzling cyan protective light curtain bounced the Star-commanding Ring away as it bounced off Qiu Qingyi. With a sharp sound, it directly hit the wall!
"Ah … How could this be?" Seeing this scene, Ling Dong couldn't help but be dumbfounded!
The method recorded in the secret book left by Emperor Tiancheng didn't work? But Emperor Yuanfeng clearly said that he had the Spirit Slave Ring to crack the secret of the underground palace of the former dynasty!
"What's going on here?" While Ling Dong was puzzled, he once again controlled the Star-commanding Ring to hit the cyan protective light curtain. After suffering several failures in a row, Ling Dong's heart suddenly moved. He had three Star-commanding Rings!
Thinking of this, Ling Dong used his Divine Thought to exchange for another Star-commanding Ring. This time, it was a Fire-star Star-commanding Ring. He still didn't succeed!
In the end, Ling Dong took out the Star-commanding Ring that he got from Liu Yaoguang and carefully controlled it to hit the cyan protective light curtain again!
"Hiss …"
What surprised Qiu Qingyi and Ling Dong was that this time, the Star-commanding Ring wasn't bounced off by the protective light curtain. Instead, it was like a red-hot iron stick poking into oil, making a sizzling sound!
The Star-commanding Ring was slowly squeezing into the dazzling cyan light curtain!
Seeing this scene, Ling Dong held his breath. The protective light curtain in front of him had trapped the former dynasty for 800 years!
When the Star-commanding Ring completely squeezed into the deep cyan light curtain, the brilliance of the cyan light curtain suddenly burst and retreated like a tide. The protective formation that had trapped the Yaoguang Empire for 800 years disappeared in front of Ling Dong and Qiu Qingyi!
"Liu Yue Palace?" The cyan light curtain receded, and the bronze gate of the Dragon Beast Residence in front of Ling Dong completely appeared in front of him. The three majestic words above the gate were also clearly seen!
"Senior Sister, let's go in!" After greeting, Ling Dong waved one hand, and two heavy palms slowly pushed the bronze gate! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
