Chapter 233: Into the Ancient City, Looting The Treasures, A Boundary Emperor Weapon
At the thought of Chu Kuangren, a cold glint shot out of Shang Han’s eyes.
He came to the Azure Dragon Domain four years ago, initially intending to use Princess Linglong’s Godly Daoist Physique to break into the Battle Monarch realm.
However, he did not expect Chu Kuangren to be one step ahead of him instead.
Later in the Royal Azure Palace, he was defeated in public by Chu Kuangren’s two sword attacks. That incident had been lingering in his heart like an unbreakable knot that had not been opened ever since that day.
As the Era of Great Battles kicked off, Shang Han had never once dared to slack off in these past four years. He had been practicing rigorously, obtained an Emperor’s Essence to maintain his position of Young Emperor, gaining insights into the Emperor’s Essence, and improving his cultivation by leaps and bounds...
On top of some other Opportunity of Fortune, his current strength was one of the best among the Young Emperors.
Nevertheless, he was not happy at all.
That was because the achievements of Chu Kuangren, the one whom he regarded as his lifelong enemy, had greatly exceeded his expectations and that of everyone else in the world as well.
Killing hundred-thousand demonic cultivators, mentally sparring with a Sage, taming the Godly Phoenix, becoming the Black Heaven Sect Leader, killing Sages...
Anything among that list of achievements was enough to outclass him, the so-called Young Emperor.
To everyone else, his achievements were akin to comparing fireflies to a shining moon; it was terribly insignificant!
“Just you wait, Chu Kuangren. The moment I get that item from the Lou Kingdom, I will brutally defeat you once and for all!”
...
“Atchoo!”
Chu Kuangren sneezed.
“Master, oh no, did you catch a cold?”
Beside him, Lan Yu asked with concern.
“Maybe my enemies are cursing me behind my back. ”
Chu Kuangren replied dismissively.
“Let’s continue ahead. From what I can sense, there’s a huge pile of treasures about a thousand miles away from here.”
Chu Kuangren said in surprise.
Although there were many treasures and Opportunity of Fortune on the Ancient Battlefield, it was quite a rare situation to see so many treasures piled together.
Did he bump into a treasure hoard?
Soon after, he and Lan Yu arrived at the location of the piled-up treasures, but all they could see was a vast sand dune before them.
Chu Kuangren scanned the area with his spiritual thoughts.
Nothing was found.
However, the Treasure Locating Skill’s sensitive response to the treasures was telling Chu Kuangren that the pile of treasures was indeed located at where the sand dunes were right now.
“Unless there’s an enchanted boundary?”
Chu Kuangren murmured.
That topic was what he lacked knowledge in.
He was completely clueless when it came to things like boundaries and formation spells. There was no way he could draw an item from the Fantasy Roulette that could make him a Formation Grandmaster, right?
Besides, he had already used up his chance for the Fantasy Roulette today anyway.
“With this treasure mountain before me, am I going to go back empty-handed?”
‘There is no way that would happen, right?’
At that moment.
Waves of ripples suddenly appeared in the void.
Like a mirage, an extremely magnificent ancient kingdom immediately emerged in front of Madman Chu and Lan Yu.
“What’s this?” Lan Yu was a little surprised.
“Lan Yu, we’ve struck the motherload of all treasures this time.”
Chu Kuangren laughed.
“Let’s go.”
Both of them then hurried towards the ancient kingdom.
When they arrived at the gate of the ancient city, Chu Kuangren saw a dilapidated sign hanging high up there. “Lou Kingdom...”
He suddenly thought of something.
“This name seems familiar.”
“There used to be a kingdom in the past with that name.”
Chu Kuangren had gone through many books during his spare time in the past year. From cultivation manuscripts to biographies, he had read every kind of book.
Among them were some records about the Lou Kingdom.
“According to the rumors, the Ancient Lou Kingdom mysteriously disappeared after a great battle. Countless people have been searching for this ancient city for all these years, but I didn’t expect I’d find it here today.” Chu Kuangren laughed.
The heavens would, of course, favor a handsome person like him.
With that, the two of them entered the ancient kingdom.
There were signs of destruction everywhere inside the ancient city.
Skeletal remains were scattered on the ground, dissipating and turning into dust with a light touch. Even the bones that belonged to previous Honorables could hardly resist the erosion of time.
“What caused that battle to start? To wipe out an entire country, could it be the Sage War that the Eternal Sage Ruler mentioned?”
A puzzled Lan Yu asked.
“It shouldn’t be. The Sage War mentioned by the Eternal Sage Ruler occurred fifty thousand years ago, and the demise of the Ancient Lou Kingdom was more than thirty thousand years ago.”
“The time period does not match up, so there should be another reason.”
Chu Kuangren shook his head.
However, those were not Chu Kuangren’s reasons to explore that area. What he wanted most at the moment was the treasures in this country!
“Thirty miles ahead, there are Sage weapons, supreme weapons...”
That was feedback from the Treasure Locating Skill.
Chu Kuangren soon came to the palace that was at the center of the Lou Kingdom.
Although that palace was very large, it was already in ruins. Its past glory was vaguely visible from the surface and it seemed no worse than the Royal Azure Dynasty’s palace.
He then arrived at the palace’s treasury.
After pushing open the gates.
A gust of air that had long been sealed within came rushing out towards him.
The treasury was full of dust. Chu Kuangren simply waved his sleeves, which created a gust of wind that swept away the dust around him.
Suddenly, after tens of thousands of years, the countless treasures once again shone brightly and illuminated its surroundings.
Treasured swords, armor, medicinal pills, peerless forging materials, and even Jade scrolls that contained different cultivation techniques...
Countless treasures were laid before Chu Kuangren’s eyes.
“That’s a lot!” Lan Yu’s mouth was slightly agape and she could not help but be shocked at the entire treasury before her.
“Lan Yu, let’s do it.” Chu Kuangren chuckled. Both of them then walked into the treasury and began to store the treasures into their Yin and Yang rings one after another.
There were just too many treasures there.
It took both of them more than an hour to finish looting the whole treasury.
Moreover, that was only looting.
They still had yet to sort through everything. Otherwise, it would take them much longer than an hour.
“Master, we’ve made such a large haul this time. I alone have six or seven Sage weapons with me, and even more for supreme weapons, not to mention some of the other rarer or more valuable treasures.”
Lan Yu’s eyes lit up as she spoke.
“You’re right, with this stash of treasure, the Black Heaven Sect’s foundation will no doubt be on a higher level now,” Chu Kuangren said with satisfaction.
“With all these treasures, the Lou Kingdom must’ve been a great nation in the past. But it’s a shame that it was wiped out in the end.” Lan Yu lamented with sorrow.
Nothing could last forever in this world.
Even a strong nation like Lou Kingdom could not escape its fate of total annihilation.
“Master, do you think that besides us, there’d be anyone who will find their way into this Ancient Lou Kingdom?”
Lan Yu suddenly thought of it and was curious.
“I don’t know. Even if there are, surely it’ll be many years later,” Chu Kuangren replied.
After that, a playful smile was etched on his face as if he had thought of something. He then walked up to one of the pillars inside the treasury.
He made a sword hand sign before surges of sword qi shot out.
He was carving some words into the pillars.
“Chu Kuangren was here.”
Chu Kuangren looked at the four words on the pillar with satisfaction.
Beside him, Lan Yu chuckled and shook her head.
‘Master really is playful sometimes.’
“Let’s go, there’s something else inside the palace.”
Chu Kuangren grinned.
“What is it?”
“It’s a... Boundary Emperor weapon!”
At that, Lan Yu could not help her astonishment.
“There’s a Boundary Emperor weapon inside this palace?”
“That’s right. According to my Treasure Locating, there’s indeed a Boundary Sage weapon here. Let’s go.”
Chu Kuangren was a little excited.
After all, the value of a Boundary Sage weapon was so great that even all the treasures in the entire treasury combined could not compare to it.
