It was now at the great Emperor’s palace.
Qin Chen, who had successfully advanced to the fourth heaven of the sage realm, didn’t know about space race’s rise. They asked all the humans within a million miles to move away, including Taiyi Holy Land because he had come here to cultivate after his advancement.
However, his main purpose was to check in.
Unfortunately, he didn’t get any supreme treasure like Thirty-three Heavens or the Thirteen Alchemy Technique Scrolls. The most he got was a 100000-year-old divine pill or a Divine Spirit Source.
Such a treasure was currently dispensable to Qin Chen.
However, he was not too disappointed. No matter how powerful the divinity was, it was impossible for him to obtain a supreme treasure every time. Generally, only the first time he checked in would he get the best reward.
At this moment, Qin Chen was walking around the 33 thousand-foot steles.
Each stele was more than 10,000 feet tall, like a divine mountain. They formed a ring, and an incomprehensible ancient formation was set up below them.
In the past ten years, Qin Chen had stepped into this place many times. He wanted to know why the thirty-three Emperor-level figures had left the steles here.
Unfortunately, even with his saint-realm cultivation, he couldn’t understand it because it involved the supreme realm of a great emperor.
However, Qin Chen realized that cultivating here was much easier. With the divine monument left behind by Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, it resonated with Chaotic Imperial Sutra and Chaotic Holy Body, making his cultivation process much smoother.
With the divine monument left behind by Qin Shihuang, he cultivated Heaven Suppressing Palm Imprint and Heaven Destroying Imperial Dragon, and his understanding of them deepened.
With the divine monument left by the Venerables, it was easier for him to cultivate Thirty-three Heavens.
In the past ten years, he had cultivated many of his monarch-level supernormal knowledge to the intermediate stage. Even two of his heavenly Emperor-level supernormal knowledge had reached the initial stage. His power had increased greatly, all thanks to his cultivation in great Emperor’s palace.
Occasionally, Qin Chen would also observe great Emperor’s palace. He looked at the dense battle marks that covered the entire central palace, which contained the traces of the supreme experts of the past and lingered for a long time.
These had a certain help to his cultivation.
Suddenly, Qin Chen found something special in a deep sword mark in the palace. It was embedded in the hard wall and could not be discovered without careful observation.
It wasn’t difficult for him to take it out. He found that it was an ancient stone pagoda the size of a palm. It had nine floors, but the strange thing was that it didn’t have a top. It was clearly missing a few floors.
“Wait, the battle scars left behind on the central palace are basically left behind by the supreme experts of the past. They might even be left behind by ancient emperors. This stone pagoda was clearly hit, but it didn’t shatter. It shouldn’t be an ordinary item. It might be a peerless divine weapon from the ancient era,” Qin Chen stroked his chin and muttered to himself while looking at the stone pagoda.
He tried to attack the stone pagoda. Although he didn’t use much power, it was enough to destroy a mountain thousands of feet high with a flick of his finger, but the stone pagoda was unharmed.
As Qin Chen increased his strength over and over again, he finally realized that he could not damage the stone pagoda even after using his full strength. At this time, Qin Chen finally understood that he had really stumbled upon a treasure.
He thought perhaps it was an extreme emperor weapon that one of the 33 ancient emperors had obtained.
However, these kinds of weapons were unparalleled, and they contained extreme Emperor might. To break an extreme emperor weapon, one would need to be at least a great emperor.
“Could it be that a battle between emperors once took place here?” he thought.
“System, What is this?”
Qin Chen immediately let the system inspect it. The system could even know that Desolate Divine Halberd was quasi-emperor Taihuang’s weapon, so he assumed it should be able to examine the stone pagoda.
“Desolate Pagoda, one of the 13 primordial ancient weapons of heaven burial era.”
Not long after, the system’s warning tone appeared, giving an extremely simple explanation.
There was no other explanation.
“Desolate Pagoda?”
“The primordial ancient weapon?” he thought aloud.
Qin Chen raised his brows. He was unfamiliar with these two names. He was also unfamiliar with heaven burial era because he knew that the most ancient era in this world was mythological era.
After mythological era, it was primordial era, ancient era, mid-ancient age, and later-ancient era.
Heaven burial era was no longer recorded in the current Qing history, so he thought it might precede mythological era.
As for the primordial ancient weapon, he was even less sure.
However, the special primordial ancient weapon from heaven burial era, which was suspected to precede mythological era, was most likely not simple.
Qin Chen checked with the system, but the system did not respond.
Thus, Qin Chen tried to inject his Chaotic Divine Power into it to activate the mysterious Desolate Pagoda.
With the infusion of Chaotic Divine Power, Desolate Pagoda still didn’t show any signs of recovery. It was still very silent.
“I can’t destroy it, and I can’t activate it. What is the origin of this mysterious Desolate Pagoda?” Qin Chen was puzzled. He had a feeling that this mysterious Desolate Pagoda should have a special connection with the thirty-three ancient emperors’ leaving their steles here.
“Forget it. I’ll check it out next time. It’s time to go now,” he said.
There weren’t many experts from space race, only a dozen or so. However, each and every one of them had a terrifying aura. The three people in the lead were all Bahuang Venerables, while the others were Qiyao Kings. Their lineup was rather terrifying. No force in the world had such a lineup of top experts.
As the Holy Lord, Ling Ran was naturally alarmed. She rushed into the sky and looked at the approaching experts from space race with slightly furrowed brows. When he saw the young Venerable in the lead, her heart sank slightly. She went forward and said, “What brings the esteemed guests of space race here?”
Although she didn’t like the fact that space race had forcefully driven Taiyi Holy Land away from this area and had come uninvited, she was still rather wary of space race and had to treat them with respect.
The arrival of three Venerable and a dozen Kings was enough to make Taiyi Holy Land treat them seriously.
The Venerable of space race was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He was born with horns and wore a Dark Iron battle suit. Rays of black light circulated on his body. His devilish eyes stared at Ling Ran and revealed an evil expression as he nodded to himself.
He found this female human cultivator extremely beautiful and rare even among the ten thousand ancient races. Furthermore, she was so young, yet her cultivation had already reached Qiyao. She also had the legendary Zixia Body. With all these traits combined, he found she was somewhat qualified to be his wife.
After staring at her for a while, the young Venerable from space race smiled and said, “Holy Lord Ling Ran, I’ve come here for you. I want you to become my woman.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Ling Ran arrogantly with some confidence.
In the end, he did not think that Ling Ran would reject him.
This was because he was a leader of space race and one of the Venerables of space race. He was also known as the young master of the race.
Although he had cultivated for more than 1000 years, he was not considered old in the cultivation world at such an age. Moreover, he had become a Bahuang Venerable and could live up to 4000 to 5000 years. A Venerable at such an age was definitely young. In the primordial era, he was called a hero and had the potential to become a Jiutian Sage.
As a young master of space race who had the potential to become a Jiutian Sage. His identity, status, and cultivation were all top-notch. In the ancient era, there would have been countless female prodigies who wanted to pursue him. Thus, he did not think that Ling Ran would have a reason to reject him.
Upon hearing this, the expression on Ling Ran’s beautiful face turned a little cold. She refused him bluntly, “I’m sorry, young Venerable. I’ve always been interested in cultivation, so I’m not fond of the relationship between men and women. Please forgive me.”
