Chapter 1870 - The Treasure at the Bottom of the Palace
Chapter 1870: The Treasure at the Bottom of the Palace
Qingfeng’s expression changed as soon as he stepped into the palace. The palace was not simple, strictly speaking, he could sense a mysterious presence underneath it.
Qingfeng had a sharp innate sense. He utilized his spirit energy and easily sensed that there were many treasures buried under the palace.
However, his spirit energy was only released for a moment when a white dome suddenly appeared and rebounded it.
Qingfeng stopped in his tracks and a drop of cold sweat appeared on his brow. The rebounding force was too powerful. If Qingfeng was any other self-cultivator, he would be severely wounded.
Luckily, Qingfeng’s power and spirit energy were quite powerful so he could tolerate the rebounding force.
A flash of confusion appeared on the Spider Princess’s eyes when she saw that Qingfeng had stopped in his tracks. She asked, “What is wrong? What happened just now? Why are you sweating?”
Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, “Spider Princess, there must be treasures buried under the Palace right? Or a high-tier dynasty like yours would not build a huge palace here.”
The Spider Princess was stunned. She did not expect Qingfeng to discover the treasures just after taking a few steps into the palace.
Qingfeng was the first low-tier spirit monarch realm self-cultivator to discover the treasures.
A while ago, the Spider Dynasty Emperor had walked into Five-Poison City and discovered a treasure buried under the city. The abundant treasures were left behind by a sixth level spirit monarch who used to be a subordinate of the Sun Monarch.
But the treasures were too abundant and protected by a defensive array formation. Thus, the Spider Dynasty Emperor ordered his subordinates to build an enormous palace above the treasures to hide them.
Why else would the Spider Dynasty Emperor build a palace? Building a palace required a lot of money, human resources, and materials. The emperor’s motive was to obtain the underground treasures.
This secret was only known to two people. The first was the Spider Dynasty Emperor and the second was the Spider Princess. But now, Qingfeng had found the secret with a single glance.
The Spider Princess was stunned. The young man before her was like a mystery.
Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, “If I am not wrong. You guys built a palace to hide the treasures. But you have yet to gain access to the underground treasures. If you have, you would have left already.”
The Spider Princess nodded and said, “You are correct. It’s no wonder my father asked me to use all my powers to obtain your help. You are definitely worth seeking out. Let us go. My father is still waiting for you. He wants to see you.”
Under her guidance, Qingfeng and the others speedily walked towards the depths of the palace. They quickly arrived in a large hall.
The hall was dozens of meters tall. The columns within the hall were all covered in gold and the ground was covered in precious meteorites that shone brightly. The sight sent tremors to one’s heart.
There were some monarch grade scriptures on the ground. Of course, it was to cover up the presence of the treasure underground.
Just as Qingfeng walked into the hall, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair sculpted like a spider.
The middle-aged man had sharp features and wore a black robe. There were spider tattoos on his body. The tattoos were not of dragons as spiders were the ancestors of the people of Spider Dynasty.
The Spider Dynasty Emperor stood up and walked to Qingfeng’s side. He said, “You must be Qingfeng Li. I heard about you from my daughter and the Moon Saintess. I heard that you are an extraordinary figure, so I invited you here today.”
Qingfeng smiled faintly and said, “Your highness, you are too kind. You are the emperor of a high-tier Dynasty and a level six spirit monarch realm fighter. I am only a junior. You do not need to be so polite.”
The Spider Dynasty Emperor shook his head and said, “No, I should. I heard that you are well-versed in array formations. I would like to seek your help.”
Qingfeng said, “Your highness, you want me to open the entrance to the underground treasures?”
The Spider Dynasty Emperor was surprised. Only his daughter and himself knew of the treasure. Did his daughter tell Qingfeng about the treasures?
The Spider Dynasty Emperor casted a glance to Spider Princess and waited for an answer.
The Spider Princess shook her head and said, “Father, I did not tell Qingfeng. He sensed the presence of the treasures after he entered the palace.”
Gasp!
The Spider Dynasty Emperor breathed in sharply. Even his Monarch level five protectors could not sense the treasures underneath the palace. This young man was truly extraordinary. He was as strong as himself!
At that thought, the Spider Dynasty Emperor was filled with confidence towards Qingfeng. He believed that he had made the correct decision in inviting Qingfeng to the palace.
Th eSpider Dynasty Emperor said, “Qingfeng, I will be brief. We need to quickly enter the underground palace and break through the protective array formation. There are a million demonic beasts outside of Five-Poison City. They are here for the treasures.”
Qingfeng nodded in realization. He was wondering why there were demonic monarch level demonic beasts surrounding Five-Poison City. It made sense now, they were here for the treasures!
It seemed like Spider Dynasty Emperor was not the only one who knew of the existence of the treasures.
Qingfeng nodded and walked after the Spider Dynasty Emperor towards the underground palace. The others followed behind them. They walked through a secret tunnel which began from behind the spider chair.
After the Spider Dynasty Emperor placed his palm on the chair and rotated it 180 degrees, the chair creaked before moving away.
A dark tunnel appeared underneath the chair. There were stairs made of meteorite that paved the steps towards the depths of the tunnel.
Spider Dynasty Emperor took out a Night Pearl which lit up the entire tunnel.
He led the path while Spider Princess, Qingfeng, Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, and the others followed behind him.
The group walked forward down the spindling tunnel.
