This celestial aberration projected into the high vault of the heavens, almost forming a mirage-like scene.
Moreover, due to the diffusion of spiritual energy, it distorted the rules of heaven and earth, turning into an incomparably huge pillar of light, rising to the sky. It could be felt even from very far away places, with no way to hide it.
"There's actually an underground ancient city hidden here!"
"Where is that?"
Zhao Kong looked closely at the underground ancient city, shocked: "The word 'Shang' on the flag? Your Majesty, I know, this underground city is the Ancient Shang Kingdom from ten thousand years ago. At that time, there was no Suspended Imperial Dynasty. The Ancient Shang Kingdom too was a five star imperial dynasty with the existence of a God Position.
The then Sovereign of the Suspended Realm was also called the Shang Realm."
"But the Ancient Shang Kingdom perished ten thousand years ago. There are rumors that they left behind countless treasures, but in tens of thousands of years, no one has been able to find them. Unexpectedly, this Ancient Shang Kingdom site is in the mine, discovered by Your Majesty today!"
"Ancient Shang Kingdom!"
Chu Yuan gazes into the distance.
The flag fluttering over this underground city has the distorted character, 'Shang'.
In the entire Suspended Realm, there is only the Suspended Imperial Dynasty, a single five-star Imperial Dynasty, which can dominate a realm.
Yet now, a giant ancient city sat in front of Chu Yuan, indicating the many treasures that must be buried within.
"I understand now."
Lu Qianfu said: "No wonder there are so many reserves of Law Crystals here. Apparently, this was a formation set by the Ancient Shang Kingdom when they built the underground city. But with the passing of ten thousand years, as the mine was excavated, the spiritual energy gradually depleted, creating a loophole that Your Majesty activated just now, revealing this ancient city to the world again!"
"If the rumors are true that the Ancient Shang Kingdom, before their destruction, stored large amounts of supplies here, Dawu will undoubtedly see a tremendous boost in national strength once it gets hold of them."
After all, Dawu has been founded for only thirty-one years, making it incomparable to the centuries or even millennia-old imperial dynasties.
Chu Yuan didn't act rashly.
He used his divine power to touch the formation barrier and frowned: "It's impenetrable. Although years have gradually weakened the formation to a delicate state, if I forcefully break it, inevitably, it will trigger a chain reaction, which could potentially destroy the entire ancient city."
"So, we can only wait," says Lu Qianfu."
Zhao Kong glanced around after contemplation. As a former two-star Clan Master, he mused: "Your Majesty has a point. We can only wait for the spiritual energy to dissipate. Once this formation is triggered, the sealing energy will drastically leak, gradually depleting. It is likely to happen five days from now.
However, those neighbouring territories of Daqian were many. The ones who rushed here were the nearby two-star imperial dynasties or clan powers. Like cats smelling the scent of fish, the instant there were treasures, they quickly revealed themselves.
"Who is the ruler of Dawu, reveal yourself now!"
A domineering and powerful voice echoed across. Appearing before the people was a stern middle-aged man, emitting an air of despotism. His gaze was full of intense pressure.
"King of the Yen Imperial Dynasty, a top-tier two-star imperial dynasty, power prober in the tenth-stage, Yuan Shan!" Zhao Kong's face changed at this revelation.
The difference between the ninth-stage and the tenth-stage of power probing may seem insignificant, but he was several times stronger than him. Moreover, even a half-step Enlightened Divinity was present within the top-tier two-star imperial dynasty.
Once a half-step Enlightened Divinity advances one more step, they reach the Enlightened Divinity realm, capable of opening up a three-star power.
"Are you also worthy to call my name?"
Chu Yuan stepped into the void. While Yuan Shan came from a top-tier two-star imperial dynasty, Chu Yuan possessed the power of supreme majesty.
"You are the ruler of Dawu?" Yuan Shan looked at Chu Yuan: "I am the Mountain King of the Yen Imperial Dynasty. Step aside, this opportunity is too big for you to swallow."
"If you are not afraid of death, come," Chu Yuan said.
"Ha ha, do you wish to swallow it all, thinking you have such a big belly? The ones who have arrived here today are all very powerful two-star forces. Dawu is nothing in comparison. It's merely an onion. If you don't roll aside, your several tens of thousands of people, including you, the emperor, will die right here!"
Yet another person walked out. This person was also a power prober in the tenth-stage. His words were tinged with arrogance, full of haughtiness and commanding demeanor. He didn't consider Chu Yuan important at all.
"A top-tier two-star clan, Chuan Yun Clan. Meng Cun! Clan Master possessing a half-step Enlightened Divinity!" Zhao Kong's face changed drastically again.
Yes, in their eyes, Dawu could only be considered a decent two-star imperial dynasty, falling far short in comparison to the top-tier two-star ones.
Perhaps the power of their Emperor was not even on par with a strong elder from their power.
Of course, it wasn't worth considering.
Apart from the strong individuals from the Yen Imperial Dynasty and Chuan Yun Clan, there were five or six two-star forces. They knew they might not get the best spoils, but as long as they entered the ancient city, they certainly would get something, more than enough for them.
[Option 1: Abandon the Ancient Shang Kingdom ruins and receive 300 Destiny Points and 1 Wanquan Returns Pearl.]
[Option 2: Resort to the second best plan and negotiate with the other forces to share the spoils evenly, obtaining 300 Destiny Points and 1 Xuanling Shield.]
[Option 3: Death to anyone who dares to cross the line! Obtain 300 Destiny Points and 1 Spirit Element Rice.]
