The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 302 Box, Mutton Fat Glass

"Envoy Deer, I'll have to trouble you again."

The arguments continued during the grand assembly.

But Qin Hao had already quietly left.

Of course, this was also permitted by Emperor Hengming and the cabinet.

They obviously wanted Qin Hao to bring Mr. Lu over to solve the passage problem.

But now we know that Mr. Lu only has one more attack left.

After that, they will be forced to ascend.

Regardless of whether one secretly wishes for Mr. Lu to ascend to heaven immediately, or not,

On the surface, everyone should disagree.

This applies regardless of whether or not one is aware of any arrangements made outside the boundary.

There are quite a few experts in the fourth realm in the Qianyang Realm.

However, only a few who are publicly known possess immortal-level combat power.

Even if someone has some hidden resources, they can't just reveal them all at once.

Therefore, Mr. Lu is a kind of safety net.

Therefore, no one is urging Qin Hao to go there immediately.

As for the previous sect recruitment, it has already been conducted once.

Should we continue?
That doesn't make sense.

The Great Xia Dynasty itself was quite powerful, and it couldn't afford to be greedy for just one target.

So after becoming transparent, Qin Hao made a brief statement, and Xiao Jingyi, on behalf of Emperor Hengming, indicated that he could leave.

Qin Hao stepped down, and the Deer Envoy followed.

This was originally agreed upon, and Emperor Hengming could not go back on his word.

Qin Hao previously followed Master Lu and made significant contributions.

In the future, we might need Mr. Lu's help.

Qin Hao also has a clone guarding the place where Master Lu is in seclusion.

Naturally, Qin Haotong also needs to be informed.

Therefore, the Great Xia Dynasty would not allow Emperor Hengming to break his promise.

It's just three opportunities.

The imperial palace's inner and outer treasuries held so many treasures.

Why bother with three items?

The cabinet will not cherish just three treasures for the royal family.

The deer messenger's expression was priceless.

Before coming here, he went to Qinghe Bay to invite Qin Hao here. Some of the conditions that had been agreed upon before have not been made public.

Qin Hao naturally wouldn't fulfill that promise.

The Deer Envoy was also present at the grand court assembly and naturally knew all this, which left him with very mixed feelings.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

They had no choice but to remain silent and wait.

Qin Hao didn't care at all. If he needed to care about what these people thought, what would be the point of living?
Isn't the purpose of spiritual practice to achieve true freedom?
He is no longer the same person he was back then.

Feigning compliance is necessary, but it depends on who you're dealing with.

"Deer Messenger, I don't know how to make three choices? I can't possibly wander around the treasure vault, mark the locations, and then make my choice, can I?"

That was the first time I came in; I wasn't very strong then.

At that time, Emperor Hengming was probably testing him.

As for the purpose, Qin Hao still doesn't know.

He guessed that it was probably still related to the parents who had long since disappeared.

The stronger Qin Hao is, the stronger his divination abilities become.

He planned that once his soul had completed its metamorphosis, he would follow the pull of his bloodline to find his parents.

He had a premonition that his parents in this life were still alive and well.

Having no strength before, one could only wait.

Now that our strength has gradually increased, it's time to consider it.

The deer messenger hesitated for a moment, unsure if he was contacting someone.

A short while later, the deer messenger reached out and took out three wooden boxes.

"This is a sealed box, Lord Shenyong, please put it away. Later, if you see any treasures you like in the treasury, you can use the sealed box to collect them and put them into the box. After you have three items, Lord Shenyong will be teleported out."

So, it turns out, such methods do exist.

Before that?
Just for fun?

Of course, they also wanted to see Qin Hao's choice and to know whether Qin Hualin had really left behind any methods back then.

Even in the capital, Emperor Hengming could not simply barge into a minister's home and search his soul.

Therefore, some methods, if hidden within the soul...

It cannot be found directly.

Moreover, since Qin Hao entered the Dao, the development of the situation has exceeded everyone's expectations.

Emperor Hengming probably didn't expect that Qin Hao would obtain the Golden Thread Treasure, activate the Primordial Treasure Ship, and begin to reclaim his other self from all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Their strength had already begun to increase dramatically.

This was beyond everyone's expectations.

Then, the situation spiraled out of control.

And that's how the current situation came about.

The invasion of the demon realm has forced us to this point.

Emperor Hengming originally planned that this would be a long process.

He will once again serve as the Holy Son of this generation, for a thousand years. What is there to do? Is that not enough?

However, the situation developed too quickly, and none of the players had time to make changes.

Qin Hao had already subtly transcended the chessboard, rising from a chess piece to the player.

Now, Qin Hao has been given three chances to choose any treasure from the treasure vault.

The cabinet could not possibly make Emperor Hengming regret his decision.

So these three sealed boxes were still given out.

Once he has chosen a treasure, he can simply point the box at it and retrieve it.

After three times, you will naturally be teleported away from the treasure vault.

Qin Hao wasn't worried at all about them playing tricks.

The matter is not over yet, the river has not been crossed, so there is no need to worry about the bridge being demolished.

Qin Hao, holding three boxes, didn't stop walking, but had already examined all of them in an instant.

On the surface, there are no problems.

Among them are arrays for locating and viewing objects, which are subtly connected to the grand array that surrounds the entire capital city.

When necessary, it can also serve as a basis for positioning.

Qin Hao chuckled, not paying any attention.

What kind of trouble could a mere box possibly cause?

Upon arriving at the entrance of the treasure vault, the Deer Messenger presented his token: "Open the treasure vault door. Marquis Shenyong may choose three treasures from the inner and outer vaults."

A beam of light emanated from the token and landed on the gate, while the guards each took out a token.

Several beams of light were emitted and shone on the gate.

Rumble.

The doors to the treasure vault opened.

The deer messenger said, "Lord Divine Valor, you may enter on your own."

Beyond the outer warehouse, behind a light membrane, lies the inner warehouse.

As long as Shenyongbo hasn't chosen the right three items, the light membrane won't stop him.

Of course, if the Divine Warrior has already selected three items, the teleportation array will teleport you directly away.

At that time, there will be no need to talk about internal or external warehouses.

Qin Hao nodded and walked inside.

The guards at the gate were all at the third level of cultivation.

They looked at Qin Hao and it seemed that he had no cultivation at all.

Yet it seems completely unfathomable.

These guards were quite skilled, but their vision was naturally inferior to that of the bigwigs at the Grand Court Assembly.

Therefore, they did not realize that Qin Hao was a clone.

They wouldn't think much of it; if a token was presented, they would naturally obey.

Unless it was Emperor Hengming's order, they wouldn't cause any trouble.

However, if Emperor Hengming has an order, even with a token, they can still interfere and have someone die in the treasury.

This royal treasury is connected to the Divine Capital Grand Array.

It can be said that every step is fraught with danger.

Moreover, who knows how many hidden dangers lurk in the shadows.

Qin Hao, however, was not afraid at all.

This is just an incarnation; even if something goes wrong, it will just be destroyed.

Even the Buddhist methods of tracing cause and effect would be of no use to Qin Hao.

His true spirit is protected by the most precious treasure.

Unless someone is significantly more powerful, there shouldn't be any major problems.

However, immortals cannot descend upon this realm at will.

Even if it were to descend, it could not carry too much power.

Qin Hao has a clone that has advanced to the late stage of the fourth realm, possessing the combat power of the peak of the fourth realm.

The soul is still undergoing transformation, and it will take about a month to transform into the Immortal level.

Even if a celestial being descends, unless they are a Heavenly Immortal, Qin Hao will not be afraid.

Of course, this kind of fearlessness can only be found in the original world.

Because when a celestial being descends, they are suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and dare not easily reveal their identity.

Otherwise, they will be ostracized and targeted by the world.

Qin Hao stepped inside. After a slight dizziness subsided, his vision returned, and he found himself back in the outer warehouse.

Actually, the inner and outer vaults have different entrances. This time, it's just that Qin Hao got three chances, regardless of whether it's the inner or outer vault.

That's why it entered from the outer warehouse.

In reality, both the inner and outer treasuries are locked to the Divine Capital Grand Array, and the problem is solved by teleportation.

However, it is undeniable that items from the inner warehouse are of relatively higher quality.

This is for sure.

However, this does not mean that high-quality items are necessarily high-value.

It depends on your needs.

Therefore, Emperor Hengming offered Qin Hao the option to use both the inner and outer treasuries.

As long as Qin Hao can lure Mr. Lu into making a move, he will eventually be forced to leave.

Emperor Hengming will be able to complete the task.

If Qin Hao doesn't fall for it, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Emperor Hengming.
Because he can use this as an excuse.

There are many people in the royal family watching.

It's not like he's the only one who can contact the outside world.

It's just that he's the easiest one.

Qin Hao opened his Primordial Spirit Eye, and the dazzling array of magical treasures before him almost blinded him with their spiritual light.

Many of them were people Qin Hao had met before.

That's true, he hadn't been away from the capital for too long, only a little over ten years.

This timeframe isn't particularly long for an average person.

The environment in the Qianyang Realm is excellent, and an ordinary person can live for over 150 years.

With a little practice, one's lifespan can be extended.

If it is a wood-based, light-based, or water-based technique that has the effect of prolonging life, the duration can be slightly extended.

Many things here have changed.

"It seems that it was added gradually later. In addition, some of it was removed last time."

Many things happen every day in the Great Xia Dynasty. If Emperor Hengming admires someone...

He casually gave away some things.

It was either the emperor's private treasury or came from the inner and outer treasuries.

For example, if someone from the Six Doors (a government agency) performs meritorious service, others may also perform meritorious service.

They all come from this inner warehouse and outer warehouse.

For example, after Master Cen and his companions returned from the demon passage in Lion Mountain Forest last time, they were rewarded with several treasures.

Master Cen had also been here before and selected treasures. But there were still many magical artifacts and treasures that he had seen before.

"But this time, there are some differences. The spiritual light of the magic weapon can be further subdivided, and the differences in strength are more obvious."

Qin Hao's Primordial Spirit Eye has also been enhanced to a certain extent.

Along the way, we've encountered countless swords, spears, halberds, and all sorts of magical treasures.

Just like last time he came in, Qin Hao's eyes were almost overwhelmed by the choices.

If his vision hadn't improved so much, he probably would have wanted to collect the entire treasure trove.

"Yeah, I really want it now."

Although he possessed many magical treasures, he no longer needed them.

But who can resist adding another treasure to their treasury?

Besides, even if I don't need it anymore, I can give it to my subordinates.

Or you can exchange it with others and get something good that belongs to you and suits your needs.

"Ok?"

Upon returning to the location of the golden thread treasure, Qin Hao discovered that it seemed to have been moved recently.

"Was it previously placed in the inner vault and then retrieved this time?"

Qin Hao thought about it for a while and spent three days touring the treasure vault.

Fortunately, this grand court assembly might last a long time, so there weren't too many restrictions on his time.

Finally, Qin Hao returned to this place, took out a box, opened it, and a beam of light shone onto the display stand.

Then, the light shield that had been covering the booth, with only a section of gold wire visible, was opened.

Then, an absorption spell was cast, directly taking the golden thread inside.

This is the box's own absorption spell.

If someone comes inside to retrieve a magical treasure and dares to use this spell, it will immediately trigger the Divine Capital Array.

That outcome.

Even at the fourth level, one cannot withstand more than a few blows.

Qin Hao felt a subtle force sweep over him, and a pair of eyes, a gaze fixed on him.

His senses were incredibly powerful, and his soul was on the verge of becoming an immortal.

This is the difference between immortals and mortals, a vast disparity.

Just like the difference between zero and one, the multiplier of change is the greatest.

This is a transformation from nothing to something, from Wuji to Taiji.

However, Qin Hao did not reveal anything. In any case, the eyes behind the Divine Capital Formation were either ancient relics of the royal family who had not yet emerged from seclusion, or the ultimate force protecting the royal family.

It doesn't matter whether it's Emperor Hengming or not.

He arrived at the boundary between the inner and outer treasuries, looking at the two treasure troves that seemed to be right next to each other, but in reality, they were probably very far apart.

It felt as if we were in the same place, just inches apart.

Even the main hall seemed to be connected together.

In reality, these two treasure troves are quite far apart; this is actually an application of spatial principles.

The treasure vault itself is an alternate dimension, belonging to the Qianyang Realm, but not being a part of it.

A powerful being has imprisoned this space and trapped it using magical artifacts and formations.

They appear to be together, but in reality, they are extremely far apart.

But Qin Hao wasn't worried at all.

He just smiled and stepped over.

Emperor Hengming sat on his throne, watching the ongoing commotion below. He wondered how long it would take before the grand court assembly could finally discuss the matter and come up with a set of rules.

A slight smirk played on his lips, revealing a hint of mockery.

How could he not know what these people were planning?
But he needs time, so it doesn't matter. Let's just wait it out.

"So Qin Hao is about to enter the inner treasury? That piece of gold thread, so it really is a good thing?"

"Last time you came, you actually acted as if you had your eye on other treasures."

"This time, by testing the waters, we've already exposed ourselves, haven't we?"

Emperor Hengming still wanted to test the waters; he really wanted to capture Qin Hualin.

He has what he needs.

"And the trigger seems to be Qin Hao. Unfortunately, he was too cautious and didn't come in person, but instead sent a substitute."

Emperor Hengming was considering whether to kill the incarnation and retrieve the item.

He could sense the location of the sealed box.

However, this body's strength is actually not high; it seems that it could be killed with just a flick of a finger.

But for some reason, Emperor Hengming felt that if he dared to take action...

It won't be Qin Hao who suffers; it will be himself.

"why?"

"Could it be that he exchanged for some powerful protective item in the Heavenly Refinement Valley?"

"Or is it some kind of causal counterattack talisman or magic weapon?"

Ordinary beings fear the consequences, while Bodhisattvas fear the causes.

The law of cause and effect is extremely difficult to grasp.

As long as there is a connection and a cause and effect, it is not difficult to retaliate directly.

The factors to consider include the other party's cultivation level, the distance between them, their relative strength, and whether they are protected by a powerful figure.

The principles of cause and effect are not so simple to apply in offense and defense.

Emperor Hengming raised his hand, but in the end, he lowered it again.

“No need. This part is useless, and it would only make him lure Qin Hualin out from outside.”

Emperor Hengming had been cursing Qin Zhenyuan in his heart for who knows how long.

However, he still dared not let Qin Zhenyuan leave even a little bit, at most keeping him at the Red Dragon Army's garrison outside the capital city.

Qin Zhenyuan was not allowed to go to other places.

Otherwise, it would be seen as having an army and being poised for rebellion.

Qin Hao was unaware of these things, but he still sensed a threat from Emperor Hengming.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Hao stepped onto the floor of another hall.

Looking back, it seems the outer warehouse is right next door.

In fact, the two were originally one.

"What a brilliant use of space."

In that instant, Qin Hao wanted to move around, constantly teleporting, and sensing the changes in space.

In that instant, his understanding of space improved dramatically.

Even the transformation of the soul seems to have been enhanced considerably.

What used to take a month, now takes about twenty days.

With just one teleport, he reduced the time by a third.

Qin Hao suppressed his inner joy and did not show it.

In any case, this physical body doesn't have much cultivation.

But in just a moment, the magical power of his physical body seemed to have increased considerably.

Not to mention the original body.

But he did not become addicted to it.

He wouldn't forget that he was being watched.

Besides, what he really wanted was the treasure.

It's inappropriate to argue with Emperor Hengming.

"If the other party can't succeed for a long time, and if no one is willing to sacrifice themselves or suffer a loss, they will eventually find me."

Therefore, this is a rare opportunity.

Use it now, and maybe you'll get a few more chances later?
Within the Primordial Spirit Eye, the magical artifact's spiritual light grew even stronger.

"As expected of a giant who has dominated the Qianyang Realm for tens of thousands of years, the things he has plundered are extraordinary."

The quality of the magical artifacts in the inner treasury seems to be significantly higher than that in the outer treasury, by a level.

The quality of weapons such as swords, spears, halberds, and knives has been significantly improved.

These are extremely rare treasures, even among earls and marquises, and are displayed here casually.

Indeed, the royal family is essentially an enhanced version of a powerful, pure-yang sect.

With the added fortune of the imperial family, the manpower of the court, and the wealth they plundered, their resources were naturally even greater than those of the Chunyang Sect.

Qin Hao's greed became increasingly apparent.

Even his eyes seemed to reveal greed.

It seemed as if his hand was about to collect everything in the room in the next second.

"What a powerful method of bewitching the mind."

The next second, Qin Hao's eyes returned to calm, and when he looked at these magical treasures, he still had the thought of wanting them.

But greed was gone.

"Thank goodness, we don't need to be afraid of other attacks."

But this Dao heart is something that still needs to be handled with care.

The Daoist mind, it must be said, is an extremely important thing.

This involves the speed of the journey and its upper limit.

Qin Hao actually uses illusion techniques quite often, and he almost fell for it today.

Fortunately, he was originally a master of illusion magic and had prepared for this long ago.

Otherwise, it's hard to say whether we'll fall into their trap today.

Although it might mean losing face, the practical benefits won't be lost.

As long as Qin Hao is willing to sacrifice his pride, and given that the Great Xia Dynasty still has its royal family, it's impossible for them to deny him two opportunities to choose treasures.

"Hmm? Your Dao heart is indeed resilient. I didn't realize that you could cultivate to such a level before you were even thirty."

Emperor Hengming did make a move, but he did not go all out.

He didn't want to completely break off relations today, nor was he willing to.

However, some probing is still necessary.

He stopped and realized that he had still gained a lot that day.

But what's the use of this harvest?

Emperor Hengming frowned slightly, feeling that he might have alerted the enemy.

But Qin Hao's development was too fast. In just over ten years, he went from just entering the Dao to the peak of the fourth realm.

This level of strength is truly astonishing.

This was also beyond Emperor Hengming's control.

He had to test the waters and avoid any unexpected incidents.

Little did he know that the more he acted this way, the more he exposed himself.

Perhaps he doesn't care about these things at all?

There are many kinds of magical bottles, golden locks, etc.

Qin Hao stood on a shelf: "Mutton fat glass?"

This is a good thing; it's a magic weapon with celestial attributes.

The materials themselves might not be surprising.

But if one knew that this mutton-fat glass could condense starlight and gather it into a kind of divine water.

That would be quite a surprise.

The legendary Three Lights Divine Water.

This mutton fat glass can be used to refine mutton fat jade bottles or three-treasure jade ruyi.

Absolutely good stuff.

The piece in front of us is of extremely high quality, almost at the level of a celestial being.

Without hesitation, Qin Hao took out a sealed box and collected it.

He felt a mix of worry, excitement, and trepidation.

Qin Hao even wondered if he should hurry back.

In case something goes wrong here and we can't get our things out.

Qin Hao tried it out and collected the sealed box. He felt that if he could completely teleport the box away...

Some of the most positive and unbearable accidents will happen.

Suppressing his inner thoughts, Qin Hao turned the screen again and found another piece of gold thread in another location.

"Hmm, it doesn't seem to be gold thread; the color is a bit dull. But it's definitely part of it."

Thinking of this, Qin Hao didn't hesitate and took the last sealed box to put away the golden thread.

Then, in that instant, Qin Hao collected all three sealed boxes into the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror, opened the boxes, and took out three treasures from them.

Then the sealed box was returned.

This thing cannot be taken away privately; it needs to be returned later.

"You can teleport away now."
