Chapter 1120: Chapter 1118: The Winner Takes All!
Without the sea of arrows, Ren Feifan and the Demon Queen directly stepped into the palace, with each step causing ripples of Formation energy on the ground.
Ren Feifan had come this time for the sole purpose of seizing treasure, and the more the better!
But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
This was, after all, a palace reputed to house Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s twelve Bronze Men; there should have been some treasures.
However, when Ren Feifan walked inside, he found it completely empty.
There weren’t just no treasures, there wasn’t even a fart!
He and the Demon Queen couldn’t believe it, each of them looked around the palace, but still, they found nothing!
The outside was richly furnished, yet inside it looked as though it had been looted.
"How can Emperor Qin Shi Huang be so poor, it’s illogical! Of all the emperors in history, he was the richest, said to have been buried with countless treasures. Although this is not his true underground palace, it’s still the hall guarding the Bronze Men," Ren Feifan muttered with underestimation.
"Brother Ren, do you think the real treasure could be that Bronze Man outside? Maybe this palace is just a diversion, and what about the sea of arrows earlier? Did you not notice that there were traps both inside and out? Doesn’t that seem illogical? The Demon Queen thinks it’s very likely that Emperor Qin Shi Huang wanted to nip everything in the bud! We can hardly imagine the ambition and means of this emperor."
Ren Feifan was startled, feeling that he had overlooked something!
These twelve Bronze Men could very likely have evolved from the great Yu’s Nine Tripods!
What are the Nine Tripods? They are known as one of the three great divine artifacts of Huaxia!
The Nine Tripods represented the nine provinces of Huaxia, and it was said that the power of a single tripod could suppress rivers and mountains!
Therefore, Ren Feifan went back outside, raising his head and gazing at the Bronze Man as massive as a mountain, lost in deep thought.
It was impossible to take such a giant Bronze Man into the mysterious space, even if he wanted to.
Suddenly, Ren Feifan remembered the voice from the mysterious space that came to him when he touched the twelve Bronze Men.
This guy was worldly-wise; he definitely knew something!
"Old demon, are you there?" Ren Feifan tried to communicate with the mysterious space.
But there was no response.
"Old demon, don’t you want the Soul Dropping Stone anymore?"
Still no response.
"Old demon, how about I give you one-fourth of the Soul Dropping Stone?"
"Are you serious?!"
The Demon King from the mysterious space couldn’t hold back any longer and directly spoke.
In the face of the Soul Dropping Stone, no matter what, he was willing to endure if it meant he could restore his true body.
"When Ren Feifan speaks, his words count, but first, you must tell me how to take possession of this Bronze Man!"
The Demon King knew it wouldn’t be simple and snorted coldly, "Boy, you’ve got some nerve. Even I wouldn’t dare to covet Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s twelve Bronze Men, and yet you dare? You might as well try approaching those Bronze Men with a weapon! Then you’ll want to give up."
Suspicious, Ren Feifan took out a third-tier weapon from the mysterious space, a weapon that would be incredibly valuable at any auction in the secular world of Huaxia.
Grasping the third-tier weapon, he lightly activated the True Qi in his Dantian. With a shake of his arm, the third-tier weapon flew straight toward the twelve Bronze Men!
As swift as lightning, the Sword Intent was extraordinary!
But at the moment the longsword touched the Bronze Man, a terrifying pressure enveloped them, and with a "snap!" the longsword turned directly into dust,
Vanishing without a trace.
Seeing this scene, Ren Feifan revealed a hint of fear on his face. Had it not been for the Demon King’s warning, his soul would have scattered the moment he made contact.
"Kid, do you still dare to covet this Bronze Man? Some treasures are only for viewing, not touching! Do you really think Emperor Qin Shi Huang was just an ordinary emperor?"
A disdainful voice came to Ren Feifan’s ears.
"What you mean to say—is Emperor Qin Shi Huang also... a cultivator?" Ren Feifan tentatively asked.
"Heh, kid, Emperor Qin Shi Huang wasn’t just a cultivator; he was a cultivation genius who could move heaven and earth and make ghosts and gods weep! Otherwise, do you think anyone else had the power to command so many cultivators at that time?"
This time, it was as if thunder boomed in Ren Feifan’s mind!
Emperor Qin Shi Huang, a cultivator! And moreover, a Daoist achiever!
The Demon King seemed to enjoy seeing Ren Feifan’s baffled and inexperienced look, and with a cold snort followed up, "I might as well tell you one more thing! You do know that what they call history is but a toy of the victors—they write it however they wish! Take the death of Emperor Qin Shi Huang for instance. Do you really believe a cultivator would die so easily?"
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Ren Feifan’s face underwent a great change. The Demon King’s words today had completely overturned his worldview and values. If Emperor Qin Shi Huang hadn’t died, then where had he gone?
What kind of cultivation level would a millennia-old monster possess?
In Huaxia, the archaeological community has never opened the underground palace of Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum, so nobody has seen his corpse.
Should several years later, with advanced technology, those archaeologists open Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s coffin only to find nothing inside, I wonder what expressions those experts would have on their faces.
"Alright, these matters are beyond your level of comprehension. In view of your Soul Dropping Stone, I’ll give you one more hint. If you want to make this Bronze Man your own, you must learn Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s mental method, the ’Emperor’s Falling Sky Technique.’ These Bronze Men are merely Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s magical artifacts. Don’t look at me; I don’t have this mental method either. If you really want it, you might as well go to Xianyang to look for the descendants of Emperor Qin Shi Huang! They might have it.
However, your trip here is not entirely in vain. These twelve Bronze Men carry the fortune of Huaxia. Try cultivating beneath them, and you will surely be pleasantly surprised!"
Ren Feifan was already prepared to go to the Hidden Gate to rescue Qingcheng, and though his combat skills had improved a lot during this period, he had not made a breakthrough in cultivation. After all, no matter how strong his combat skills were, they were useless in the face of the gap in realms!
Thus, Ren Feifan glanced at the Demon Queen and instructed, "Demon Queen, let’s cultivate together beneath this Bronze Man!"
"Yes, Master!"
They then sat cross-legged and fully entered the state of cultivation.
Ren Feifan was at the early stage of the Innate Realm and, although he could fight against the True Path Realm, it was always a life-or-death struggle.
To survive in the Hidden Gate, leveling up one’s realm was essential.
Without further thought, Ren Feifan began operating the Nine Yang Divine Art!
Just as Ren Feifan and the Demon Queen closed their eyes, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind them,
It was the very Demon King from the mysterious space.
At this moment, as he looked at Ren Feifan’s back, a sinister smile began to form on his lips, "Kid, the twelve Bronze Men of Emperor Qin Shi Huang may allow you to cultivate like crazy, but what I haven’t told you is that each of the twelve Bronze Men represent one of twelve attributes, and this one in front of you symbolizes the power of darkness and evil!
The more you cultivate, the stronger the power of the Blood Moon in you will become. When you can no longer withstand the Blood Moon, that will be the time for me to snatch your body! Haha!"
Suddenly, the shadow vanished as if it had never been there!
