Chapter 27: Emperor Qianyuan's Treasure Room
Zhou An smiled mysteriously and walked to the hall. Zi Yan, Zi Qiong and Zi Xuan were already waiting there. The queen had just returned from outside.
"Come and have a meal, let's try the Hundred Flowers Wine together." Zhou An took out the wine he got from signing in at the Hundred Flowers Tower.
It was the first time that Shangguan Rong saw this kind of wine packaged in a jade bottle, and the color was purple-red.
After the six people sat down, Zhou An opened the bottle cap, and the fragrance of flowers immediately wafted out. Just the smell made everyone present feel refreshed.
Zi Yan was surprised and said, "Your Majesty, I feel my inner strength being pulled, what is this?"
Seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, he smiled mysteriously and said, "The secret immortal wine of Baihua Valley can improve the power of even innate masters after drinking it. It will be of great benefit to you.
Moreover, this stuff is relatively mild. After drinking this, within two years, you may all reach the tenth level of the acquired realm."
"Really!" The five women exclaimed at the same time. If this was true, then this thing could truly be called fairy wine.
Zhou An poured wine for them, and Zi Xuan immediately said, "Your Majesty, let me pour you some wine."
"There's no outsider here, so don't be polite. Just try it." Zhou An poured a glass for everyone.
The five of them couldn't wait to drink it, and soon they all showed surprised expressions, and immediately used their internal energy to absorb it.
Zhou An smiled, took a sip himself, shook his head and sighed. This wine had little effect on him. 300 years of internal strength was already the limit, and it would be difficult to increase it any further.
After they absorbed the liquid, their eyes sparkled. Zhou An poured more for them and said, "This is your first time drinking it, so it will be most effective. I'll give it all to you."
"Your Majesty, why don't you drink?" Shangguan Rong asked immediately.
"I've already drunk it. Drinking too much of this stuff is useless. The queen is busy with state affairs, so she can only rely on these external forces to assist." Zhou An said.
The queen looked at Zhou An and suddenly felt that the more familiar she became with this emperor, the less she understood him. When she first entered the palace, she did have her own ambitions, but now she herself did not realize that she had unknowingly accepted this man.
She really couldn't figure out whether it was Emperor Taizu who asked him to do this or he just had the ability to do so.
No one could have imagined that after the Queen Mother's death, the Sixth Prince and the Shangguan family could actually live in peace and assist the Emperor together. In everyone's eyes, these two families were the seeds of chaos in the country. If it were any other emperor, they would have been eliminated long ago.
"Queen, what are you thinking about? Eat it. This thing should be able to increase your internal strength by 20 years. Zi Yan, Zi Qiong and Zi Xuan should be able to reach the peak of the ninth level of the acquired realm soon. Rong Er should be almost at the eighth level of the acquired realm. Ling Sha, you are the slowest, having just passed the fifth level of the acquired realm." Zhou An said with a smile.
"Hmph, I started practicing the latest, so of course I'll be slower." Zhou Lingsha snorted unconvinced and finished the wine again.
After the five people shared the pot of wine, they all sat here and began to practice and absorb the energy. Zhou An did not disturb them and asked the purple-clothed guards to wait outside. He went to the underground secret room to practice sword-wielding. This kind of non-system prop cannot be learned directly, and can only be understood by oneself.
The method of flying a sword is actually not complicated. The most difficult part is finding a suitable flying sword.
The Emperor's Sword was tailor-made for Zhou An. In addition, the sword itself has spirituality. Even without Zhou An controlling it himself, the Emperor's Sword can fly around and even carry him flying autonomously.
As a result, once this sword-controlling method was used, the internal force was poured into the sword body, and a mysterious connection was created between the sword and oneself. Only a little internal force was needed to control the Emperor's Sword to fly.
However, this method is only the basics. The truly powerful method of controlling a sword is actually to combine spells and flying swords. This is an advanced method of controlling a sword.
The Emperor's Sword was suspended above Zhou An's palm, absorbing the internal force released by Zhou An. This was what the book called the nourishing flying sword.
He couldn't take the flying sword into his body, so he could only use this method to nourish the flying sword.
The time of training passed quickly. Three days had passed since I had completely learned the sword-wielding technique. During the day, I rushed around Qianjing. Almost 80% of the sign-in in the entire Qianjing had been completed. It was expected that all sign-ins would be completed within five days.
That day, he was thinking about how to combine the Emperor's Sword Technique and the Sword Controlling Technique, when suddenly he heard a strange noise under his feet.
He immediately stopped maintaining the sword, retracted the Emperor Sword into the system space, and lay on the ground listening to the movement below. The sound coming from below was very clear.
"Is there more space below? There can't be a mechanism here that I can't find, and it's sealed off?"
Zhou An was surprised, and then listened carefully for a while. The strange sound disappeared, but the sound of several people talking was heard.
"There's someone down there!" Zhou An immediately poured his internal energy into his fists, and slammed the ground with the Qianyang Tiangang Fist. The extremely yang and strong fist force penetrated into the ground, causing the stone slab to shatter. The stone slab under the fist was shattered and dented, and cracks spread to the surroundings.
Zhou An jumped up, upside down, and punched the ground again with both fists.
This time the cracks in the ground widened and the ground collapsed more seriously. The place where the fist hit exploded and the rocks could not bear it again and collapsed and fell.
There actually was a large space below, and the lamp posts below had been lit.
He put on the Qianyuan Dragon Armor and the mask before jumping down. It turned out to be a square tomb chamber. He was standing next to the sarcophagus, and a hole was drilled in the left wall.
A group of people stood on all sides, surrounding him with hook blades. Behind this group of people, there were five people looking at the leader, one of whom was the bearded monk who escaped last time.
"We have arrived at the treasure hiding place of Emperor Qianyuan. Do you want to sign in?"
Zhou An was pleasantly surprised. Hearing the name made him secretly happy. He thought that this was the place where the Sun, Moon and Universe Pearls were hidden, so he immediately decided to sign in.
"Successful sign-in, rewarded with Xiantian Qiankun Jue."
Hearing the name made him ecstatic. Although he didn't know if it was truly a heavenly-level mental method, the name should be correct.
"Emperor Qianyuan! As expected, you are hiding here. Haha, this tomb is the one you used to deceive people in the palace. I didn't expect that your real hiding place is up there. Fortunately, you showed up yourself, saving us the trouble. Hand over the Sun, Moon and Universe Pearls, and I will not care about your business." The man in brown cloth behind him looked at him excitedly.
"These people don't know!" Zhou An was surprised. Looking at the situation here, this is most likely the real tomb of Emperor Qianyuan. The floor where he used it as a secret room for retreat was designed to confuse others.
He left all the equipment he used during his lifetime on it, and it looked like the Sun Moon Universe Pearl was stolen and Emperor Qianyuan died here. So the person in the stone coffin here is likely to be the real Emperor Qianyuan.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the forbidden area of the imperial palace?" Zhou An could see that those people were evil cultivators in the innate realm. He stretched out his right hand and the Emperor's Sword appeared.
"It's this sword again! The same one used by the guy I met last time?" The bearded monk was surprised, wondering if the person behind the mask was the guy he met last time.
"Hmph, even if you are Emperor Qianyuan, you are just a mortal in our eyes. Anyway, I don't want this action to be spread out, kill." The man in brown clothes waved his hand.
The people around immediately rushed forward, and the weapons in their hands glowed red, indicating that they were not ordinary weapons.
Zhou An performed the second move of the Emperor's Sword Technique, and millions of golden sword auras burst out, covering the entire tomb like sunlight.
All those who rushed up were pierced through the body and killed instantly by this sword technique.
"That's right, it was this kind of swordsmanship. Lao Dao was killed by this man!" Hu Zha monk screamed.
"Humph, it seems that Emperor Qianyuan has comprehended the innate, but it's a pity that you insist on being an enemy of our Red Soul Sect. Today, I will make the pillar of your empire collapse."
The man in brown cloth made seals with his hands, a talisman array appeared around him, and eight ghost heads appeared and danced around him.
"Eight ghosts eat flesh." The man stretched out his hands, and eight ghost heads opened their mouths, showing their sharp teeth and whistling towards him.
Zhou An performed the fourth move, Green Dragon Breaking the Earth and Shaking the Universe. The sword energy transformed into a green dragon and flew out. The ghost's head was torn into pieces when it touched the sword energy, and the green dragon rushed straight to the man's face.
"What!"
All five people were surprised. Two of them threw out two shields, which turned into huge ghost head shields after flying out. The Qinglong sword energy hit the shields, and the sword energy splashed everywhere, cutting the surrounding floor tiles.
"This person's internal strength has reached an incredible level. Let's attack together, and we can distribute the Sun, Moon, and Universe Beads when the time comes." The man in brown cloth shouted, his cloth open, revealing various ghost head ornaments hanging inside.
"Hundreds of ghosts gnawing at your bones."
These ornaments emitted green light and transformed into hundreds of evil spirits that flew towards them.
The other three also released magic weapons, which were all strange-looking ghosts of different sizes, some of which were not even in human form.
The bearded monk's red-blooded devil knife was hidden among the hundreds of ghosts and shot out.
Zhou An did not dare to delay and used all his internal strength to perform the fifth move of the Emperor's Sword Technique, "White Dragon Overturning the Sea and Flooding China". The sword energy turned into a white dragon, boiling in the tomb chamber, like an uproarious sea, tearing the ghosts and monsters that pounced on him into pieces and throwing them away.
The four of them released more than three hundred ghosts together, but they were unable to break through this sword technique.
At this time, the Red Blood Demonic Blade seized the gap and passed through the sword energy and rushed straight to Zhou An's face.
Zhou An used the Qiankun Step to barely dodge, but the Red Blood Demon Sword flew back and slashed at his neck.
The Emperor's Sword flew out from Zhou An's hand, and he made sword gestures, and the blade collided with the Red Blood Demon Knife.
I saw fairy air appearing on the body of the Emperor's Sword and cracks appeared on the surface of the Red Blood Demon Knife. The bearded monk showed a look of horror when he saw it.
He immediately changed his seal and tried to take back the Scarlet Blood Demon Knife, but Zhou An didn't give him a chance. The Emperor's Sword cut it off instantly. The bearded monk spat out a large mouthful of blood and screamed, "Immortal Treasure!"
The Scarlet Blood Demon Sword is extremely powerful and is nourished by the body's own blood essence, so it needs to absorb a large amount of blood to replenish its own blood.
Now that the magic knife has been cut, it is equivalent to the monk himself being cut. When the monk shouted this sentence, the blood in his body evaporated instantly and he fell to the ground like a mummy.
This is the drawback of practicing the Red Blood Devil Sword. In fact, the monk has not completely learned the Red Blood Devil Sword, he only got a part of it by chance. Otherwise, this powerful magic skill would never be broken so easily.
The other four were shocked. Everyone knew the power of the Red Blood Demon Sword, but they didn't expect that the opponent not only had the magical treasure, the Sun and Moon Universe Pearl, but also a flying sword.
The four people were horrified and wanted to escape, but the temptation of the two magic treasures made them reluctant to leave.
While they were struggling with their thoughts, Zhou An performed the seventh move, Black Dragon Roaring to the Sky and Swallowing the Sun and the Moon. The sword energy turned into a black dragon, sucking the evil spirits that were still circling around into its mouth, and the sword energy crushed them in its stomach.
He then performed the eighth move, Golden Dragon's Rage, shocking the heavens and the earth. A golden dragon roared out, and the four people were shocked and scared out of their wits. Four ghost king shields flew out, and were pierced through by the golden dragon when they encountered it.
The man in brown cloth suddenly stepped back, grabbing his two companions with both hands to block in front of him. Neither of them expected that the sect leader would trick them at this time.
As a result, a golden dragon flew over and pierced through the bodies of the two men. Finally, the cloth robe on the sect leader's body began to emit a mysterious light with runes, which blocked the remaining golden dragon sword energy.
Zhou An walked towards the remaining two people, with the Emperor's Sword flying beside him, surrounded by fairy air and shining red, which made the two people greedy but dared not to take it.
"Emperor, please spare our lives. We surrender." The man in brown cloth quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. The other man also knelt down. Here, the opponent only needed to guard the entrance of the cave with a flying sword, and they could not escape by hiding.
