The Hanging Forbidden Land was extremely dangerous, its space unstable.
As you glide, there's a possibility that a collapsing space could suddenly appear before you, swallowing you whole.
Chu Yuan saw a group of powerhouses from the Imperial Dynasty, who suddenly encountered a spatial black hole. They were devoured without a trace, unable to even struggle, disappearing completely.
Most of the time, the opening of the Hanging Forbidden Land resulted in death in such spatial black holes.
But, Chu Yuan possessed the Great Cutting Technique. He was very sensitive to the subtle fluctuations within the space. He could quickly avoid unstable spaces. After all, the Great Cutting Technique, when executed to its fullest potential, could cut up an entire world.
"According to the Imperial Ring and the Spirit-slaying Sword's indications, we should find the last treasure trove in a few hours."
Chu Yuan constantly sensed the changing directions of the two divine artifacts.
"The treasure trove storing the Spirit God Tool must be extraordinary, housing the national divine artifact of the Ancient Shang Kingdom."
Zhu Fengfeng closely followed behind Chu Yuan. Although the journey appeared fraught with dangers, they hadn't encountered any trouble.
"The national divine artifact is only part of it; what I need are the various warfare supplies in the treasury. After all, despite the significant support from the Universe Merchant Federation, we still have to rely on ourselves to obtain some truly precious items. The Great Wu Dynasty lacks depth and we can't completely depend on others."
Chu Yuan flew within this different dimension.
"Commander Feng, we have arrived!"
A few hours later, Chu Yuan abruptly halted above a large, stable landmass. It was empty; apparently, everything had been plundered.
"Is the treasury here?"
Zhu Fengfeng could not discern anything with her eyesight nor her divine soul. This place seemed completely empty.
"If the Ancient Shang Kingdom's treasury was so easy to find, it would have been taken away by others thousands of years ago. Would it still be our turn?"
Chu Yuan waved his hand; the Imperial Ring and the Spirit-slaying Sword simultaneously flew out.
Two powerful energies ascended, causing an incredible change. It was as if a transparent curtain was being pulled open in the void, which materialized into a large group of palaces when torn apart by these energies.
This group of palaces was enormous, emitting a radiance of spiritual energy. In the gloomy forbidden land, this light was as dazzling as a bright lamp.
"These palaces are actually built from Spirit Stones?" Zhu Fengfeng exclaimed: "If broken down, they'd amount to nearly a hundred billion Spirit Stones. The fact that even the palaces are built so luxuriously gives us an idea of how many treasures are inside the treasury."
"With the spatial formation set from the outside and using the spiritual energy of the palace to provide power, coupled with the fact that this place is so perilous that God Position powerhouses barely visit, the treasures of the Ancient Shang Kingdom are indeed hidden deeply."
Chu Yuan looked at the treasury palace and calmly said: "Let's go in. While this treasury is filled with many formations, the Imperial Ring and the Spirit-slaying Sword will not hinder us."
Enveloped in the divine light of the Imperial Ring and Spirit-slaying Sword, as soon as Chu Yuan and Zhu Fengfeng approached the treasury, the closed doors opened automatically, allowing the two to enter.
"What? A treasury has appeared here!"
Just as Chu Yuan and Zhu Fengfeng entered, a dozen individuals landed on the landmass. Their eyes were locked onto the palace, and one of them shouted: "As per the rumors, the Ancient Shang Kingdom sealed their national divine artifact before being destroyed. It was said to be in some forbidden land. It seems like it's this one!"
"We followed the Martial Emperor and ended up here, just as the palace emerged. Clearly, he opened it!"
These dozen people were all unprecedented powerhouses at the God-embodied realm. The most powerful among them had reached the fifth level of the God-embodied realm. They belonged to various forces and had been searching for Chu Yuan after entering the Hanging Forbidden Land.
The fluctuations emitted from this place attracted them.
They knew that Chu Yuan harbored many secrets and understanding why the Great Wu Dynasty could rapidly rise from a one-star to a top-tier three-star rank was due to Chu Yuan.
"This is a divine opportunity. Bust open the palace and make the Martial Emperor surrender all his possessions!"
The strongest among them, a fifth-level God-embodied, roared, his palm symbol booming forth. As it landed on the palace, the palace began to vibrate. However, the spiritual light rippled out in layers, neutralizing the force.
"Martial Emperor Chu Yuan, leave the palace, surrender the treasures, and we will spare your life!"
While attacking the palace, these people issued threatening statements.
At this time, it was brilliantly illuminated inside the palace due to the refraction of Spirit Stones' light.
The setup here was different from the previous underground ancient city. There were passages connecting between each palace, and each of them housed a massive array of warfare resources such as armor and medicinal pills. The quality of the resources was far superior to those in the previous two palaces.
Chu Yuan understood after a quick glance that the previous underground city was equipped for ordinary elites, while this group of palaces was equipped for the cream of the crop.
"Your Majesty, have people outside arrived?"
Hearing the fighting outside and the threatening shouts, Zhu Fengfeng frowned.
"We don't need to pay them any attention."
Chu Yuan continued to walk deeper into the palace. The deeper he went, the more valuable the treasures. Each room had storage materials that were overwhelmingly dazzling and impossible to attend to all at once.
It was no exaggeration to say that even the significant Hanging Imperial Dynasty would be tempted by the treasures in this palace.
"The treasures in here are Meteor Spirit Gold!"
Zhu Fengfeng followed Chu Yuan to open another palace door. The brilliant, dazzling light of the things inside made her exclaim in surprise.
This massive palace was filled with clusters of shining metals, beautiful and lustrous. They looked somewhat similar to Meteorite Fine Gold but refracted an even stronger and unyielding radiance.
This was also the Meteor Spirit Gold, a purified form of the Meteorite Fine Gold. To obtain this metal, one needs high-level crafting skills, God-embodied craftsmen, and a hundred pounds of Meteorite Fine Gold to purify just one pound of Spirit Gold.
The sturdiness and sharpness of Spirit Gold were a hundred times that of ordinary metals. They could be directly used to create divine artifacts.
"Meteor Spirit Gold!"
Chu Yuan's eyes brightened: "Normal Meteorite Fine Gold is easy to come by, but Spirit Gold is much more difficult. Especially this much, it's rare. If we equip the Shenwu Army with Spirit Gold crafted God-slaying crossbows, even God Realm's mana can't resist them, they will be shot dead."
Meteor Gold couldn't break through God Realm Mana, but Spirit Gold could!
The full palace of Spirit Gold was a trip well made for Chu Yuan. And we should remember, he had only reached the halfway mark of the palace. More precious items were awaiting him in the deeper parts.
Sure enough, as Chu Yuan went deeper, he found several more palaces filled with Meteor Spirit Gold, large quantities of medicinal pills, weapons, and an innumerable amount of Spirit Stones.
If all these were brought back, the resources stored in the Great Wu's national treasury could instantly make it one of the richest imperial dynasties in the Hanging Realm. The citizens could benefit and receive more resources.
These were indeed great treasures.
These made Chu Yuan happier than acquiring the Spirit God Tool directly.
"We have now reached the deepest part of the palace."
Chu Yuan now stood before a huge door. Above it were slots marked with the Imperial Ring and Spirit-slaying Sword.
Only by inserting these two divine artifacts as keys could the most important part of the palace be opened.
