The imperial tomb, on the open ground in front of the palace complex.
Gao Yan still lingers here.
"Your Highness, when should we make our move? If we wait any longer, all the treasures will be snatched away by others!" said the elder disciple who was in his team.
"What's the rush? Passing the test of the treasure isn't that easy!"
Gao Yan said calmly.
Although many people are now vying for treasures, few succeed; instead, many die from the treasures' attacks.
“Your Highness, I also think it’s better to act sooner rather than later. We need to be wary of someone trying to steal the treasure again!” Li Jincheng glanced meaningfully at the thirty-six large palaces.
At this moment, the five holy lands of Zhongzhou are vying for the treasures within thirty-six large palaces.
Once they succeed, they will surely seize the treasures in other palaces as well.
Those who entered the Emperor's Tomb from the five holy lands were basically all at the Nascent Soul stage. Even if they broke the rules, it's estimated that no one else would dare to make a fuss.
Therefore, the best course of action is to seize the treasures while they are still inside the large palace and leave the area.
"Alright then, let's get started now!"
Gao Yan nodded and decided to send Meng Ruyan, Qin Mi, and the other three away first.
He led the four people to a small palace that had already been pushed open.
On a low table above the palace sits a beautifully crafted longsword.
In addition, there were eight corpses inside whose skulls had been pierced by sword energy.
"You guys just wait outside, I'll go in and grab the treasure by myself!"
Gao Yan said to the four of them.
"Your Highness, we'll go in and help you!"
Qin Mi said.
"No need!" Gao Yan waved his hand. "If I can't even handle that longsword, there's no point in you going in!"
Although Gao Yan's words were somewhat hurtful, they were also true.
Those who hadn't even reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage were indeed of little use once inside.
Gao Yan stepped into the palace, but instead of immediately accepting the test of the long sword, he collected the storage rings and magical artifacts from the eight corpses.
These people have gathered a large amount of medicinal herbs within the bubble world; they can't be wasted.
I did a simple estimate.
The storage rings of the eight individuals varied in size, and the spiritual herbs within them combined were worth at least 300 billion.
If the elixirs from the Emperor's Tomb were put on the market, the prices of elixirs and pills would likely drop significantly.
Besides the elixir worth 300 billion, there were also three spiritual treasures, but unfortunately they were all low-grade spiritual treasures.
As for top-grade spiritual artifacts, he completely ignored them.
Upon seeing Gao Yan's actions, Qin Mi and the others outside all changed their expressions slightly and subconsciously looked around.
Because all eight of them were from the same school.
Right now, their fellow disciples are busy seizing the treasure and haven't had time to collect the bodies.
After the treasure hunt is over, they'll definitely come to collect the body. If they find that the storage ring on the corpse has been taken, a conflict is bound to break out.
Inside the palace.
Gao Yan's gaze fell on the exquisitely crafted longsword.
This is a sword that has reached the level of a low-grade holy weapon.
Gao Yan didn't even use any magical treasures for defense; he simply reached out and grabbed at the longsword.
As expected.
A sword aura shot out from it, but Gao Yan calmly grabbed the sword aura and with a soft "poof," the powerful sword aura was crushed into powder in mid-air.
When the opponent reached for the longsword again, it became incredibly docile.
Seeing this scene.
Qin Mi and the other three stared wide-eyed.
I simply couldn't believe what I was seeing.
It should be noted that not long after, this long sword released a sword aura that killed eight people, including a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Sheathed the longsword.
Gao Yan slipped out of the palace.
"I'll see the three of them off first. Who among you wants to go first?"
Gao Yan looked at the four people and asked.
"Let the three of them go first!" Qin Mi said.
"No, let Senior Sister Qin Mi and the other two leave first!" Meng Ruyan added.
"Alright, Senior Sister Qin Mi, you three can stay here. You three can go now!"
When Gao Yan obtained this sacred weapon longsword, he knew that he could use it to send the three away!
The three were quickly sent away.
Qin Mi smiled and said, "Your Highness, I never expected you to be so unassuming!"
"You know this and you still say it? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you to silence you!"
Gao Yan joked.
"Your Highness would never do such a thing. But rest assured, Your Highness, I will never utter a single word to anyone without Your Highness's permission!"
Qin Mi expressed her loyalty, saying that her grandniece was Gao Yan's personal maid, and the two already had a foundation of trust. Having witnessed Gao Yan's strength this time, Qin Mi was already considering joining his side.
"It's fine if people tell!"
Gao Yan smiled and then revealed his aura.
"Nascent Soul stage?"
Qin Mi was both shocked and envious.
"I broke through inside the Emperor's Tomb!" Gao Yan said casually.
"Let's go, let's go to another hall!"
Gao Yan led Qin Mi to the main hall that Ning Xing had entered before.
Upon entering the main hall, he first touched the corpse.
Ning Xing is a holy son, possessing three spiritual treasures, and the spiritual herbs in his storage ring are worth 50 billion. As for the other true disciple, the spiritual herbs in his storage ring are worth about 24 billion, and he also has a spiritual treasure, but only one.
He then easily crushed the sword energy released by the jade sword.
Another low-grade holy weapon has been acquired.
"for you!"
After leaving the palace, Gao Yan tossed Qin Mi a low-grade spiritual treasure.
To be honest, he has far too many low-grade spiritual treasures on him.
Since Qin Mi has already pledged allegiance to him, giving her a magical treasure would also enhance his strength.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Qin Mi was overjoyed.
