Chapter 657 - Imperial Treasury

"Emperor Lin, bring me to the Imperial Treasury." Jin Rou said as they walked down the hall. Hundreds of maids were lined up by the sidelines to greet Jin Rou with their bowing heads.

"Your Majesty, may I know what might you need in the treasury?" Emperor Lin was curious and asked.

"I'm going to take a look and see if I can find something useful for the incoming battle." Jin Rou casually said.

The empire's treasury had many treasures and important items for sure that they keep. After all, the empire had stood for trillions of years and survived the tribulations of the world. Its roots and foundation were engraved deep within so it was not easy to shake them.

"Then I'll escort you there, Your Majesty." Up until now, Emperor Lin could taste a bit bitter deep inside. He was used to be called 'Your Majesty' yet now he was calling it someone else. Not that he was complaining, though. Jin Rou's presence in the empire had made him see a chance to survive the incoming attack.

The emperor and Jin Rou walked several twists and turns that only the emperor and empire's financial minister knew. After a few minutes, they arrived at a wooden door. It had ancient symbols that couldn't be understood by a common person.

"Fine wood." Jin Rou praised, "Stronger than strongest metal. Many Dao Supremes have to work together to crush it."

Emperor Lin smiled, "Indeed, Your Majesty. This is a wood from the Heaven World Tree. It was gifted by the tree itself to our Ancestor Feng and it was made to become a door for our treasury."

Feng Lin had traveled many realms for trillions of years. He knew every nuke and corner of Fate World and even traveled many outside realms in the past. It wasn't a surprise that he had met the Heaven World Tree.

Heaven World Tree was the most ancient tree in this world and only appear at a very faithful moment. And the appearance would only be enough to accommodate a single person. This tree had lived since time immemorial, much older than Feng Lin himself.

He made so much preparations for millions of years, calculating every possible spots the tree would appear. And after hundred million of tries, he met the Heaven World Tree and blessed him for such perseverance. The wood of the Heaven World Tree was part of the gift the tree bestowed.

"That proves it greatness." Jin Rou chuckled. He was generously estimating it by saying it could be destroyed by Dao Supremes where in fact, it could even be difficult for laws to do it. Remember, it was Heaven World Tree.

Emperor Lin walked up to the door and withdrew a stone from his space storage. This stone seemed normal with a color green but Jin Rou could see the thousand mysteries behind it.

"Creak!" The wooden door slowly opened. It created a sound which had a melodious hymn of heavens. It seemed natural when Jin Rou looked at it and couldn't help but be amazed.

After which, the door was fully opened. And what met them was a spacious mini universe filled with stars and galaxies. Jin Rou had seen many types of treasuries of this kind yet this was far more amazing than the previous. As a matte of fact, it stood above all he had seen.

"Such a grand view." Jin Rou was mesmerized. His late master had truly loved the empire for him to create such a world for his treasuries.

"Ancestor Feng has always loved astronomy, so he used to use stars and galaxies to show the world." Emperor Lin's memories flashed in his eyes. He used to admire the ancestor for consistently guarding their whole empire all the time. He also made ample preparations for future generations if ever they face difficulties.

But the ancestor was never interested in giving his legacy to anyone of their family. This enraged the emperor in the past. After all, shouldn't the successor be in their own clan to preserve Ancestor Feng's bloodline? Anyone in his situation would feel that the the ancestor was unjust for him and his family.

Now that the empire was facing a calamity, he was more angered by the day. If only the Ancestor entrusted his legacy to them, wouldn't it be easier right now? However, he realized how naive he was when he saw Jin Rou appearing in attempt to save them.

Emperor Lin had never seen a kid of this extraordinary. Jin Rou's calm and collected manner even in pressuring times had earned the deepest admiration from the emperor. The way Jin Rou carried himself during the meeting in front of the most important nobles were decisive and swift, as if he was a veteran in handling people.

Perhaps even the emperor would entrust the legacy to Jin Rou on his own accord.

"Your Majesty, these are normal treasures that will be used for the formation set up. Let's proceed further to the deepest part, there lies the personal treasury of the ancestor himself." Emperor Lin walked Jin Rou to the deepest part of the treasury.

Then, another door appeared. It was created from the space particles of this universe. Emperor Lin introduced, "This is the ancestor's true treasury that he was the only one who could enter. Perhaps, you might find something there. He also said that the successor is the only one capable of opening this."

In truth, no one except the emperor knew that the ancestor had a personal treasury. Emperor Lin never dared to say a word about this, as he was afraid that many would target the ancestor's treasury. Just think about it, it was a hidden treasury that had been created by Ancestor Feng Lin himself! The treasures here must be heaven defying.

Jin Rou took a deep breath while he remembered his memories with his late master. He brushed it off and put his palm on the door.

"Wham!" The door reacted as the stars circled around him. It was like a joyful occasion with angelic melody in play.

Then, the door was fully opened with bursting galaxies above.
