He then acquired the Spirit Prison Pagoda which was the size of his palms. The entire body of the pagoda was green and was made of bronze, containing many ancient inscriptions.
At this point, Xu Que only had less than 900 act tough points and even owed the system 8,000 act tough points!
Xu Que had returned back to square one with how much act tough points he had left. In fact, he’s at the lowest and felt like he was in poverty.
However, Xu Que wasn’t too worried about this. Concentrating hard, he looked at the Spirit Pagoda before scanning his surroundings.
Taking advantage of the fact that these Fire Emperor spirits were still doing their stretching exercises and wouldn’t be able to resist, he started sucking them into the pagoda!
Boom!
As soon as a spirit was absorbed into the pagoda, the entire pagoda would tremble violently.
Xu Que closed his eyes and used his mind’s eye to peer into the pagoda and could see every single spirit within clearly. Each of them were being restrained by iron chains and couldn’t escape or move much!
After all, this was a high grade Spirit Prison Pagoda and thus had the features of a high grade item.
Seeing them restrained put Xu Que at ease. With a wave of his hand, he placed the Pagoda back within his system inventory.
He then collected the electronic keyboard and the broadcast stopped playing at last.
Everything within the ancient tombs were silent once again.
The few Fire Emperor spirits were resolved effortlessly like that. However, it also costed Xu Que a considerable bit of act tough points in having to take up the loan!
Kim Fatty Two Plus One and the other spirits finally regained their senses. They were filled with shock.
"Senior, what was that all about?"
"Why couldn’t we control ourselves?"
"And that item. Is it a powerful magic weapon?"
"But I couldn’t feel any powerful spiritual presence within it!"
Among the dozen of spirits, only a few of them were capable of speech.
Although Xu Que had earned several more act tough points from these spirits, he was rather irritated by them. He then frowned and asked, "What? Are you addicted to the stretching exercise? Do you believe that I can make all of you become extremely fit through permanent exercises?"
"..." The few spirits all fell into silence.
None of them dared to agitate Xu Que after seeing what he was capable of. They witnessed how he had dealt with the Fire Emperor spirits so effortlessly. Hence, they started to feel immense fear towards Xu Que once again.
Xu Que then ignored them as he looked into the tomb which had just been vacated by the Fire Emperors.
This was the place where these Fire Emperors had been laid to rest. It was extremely spacious and several coffins were arranged orderly within. Unlike the previous few coffins which Xu Que had seen which were made of wood, these coffins were made of expensive and precious black gold.
Xu Que couldn’t tell the exact grade of gold and thus called out for the system once again.
"System, quick. I’ve brought you yet another business proposal. Quickly, take all these coffins in! Logically speaking, these should be valuable enough to earn me some act tough points, right?" Xu Que asked expectantly.
"Ding! Successfully acquired. The system shall reward the host with 3,000 weapon forging Essences!"
"Weapon forging Essences? I want act tough points!"
"..." The system ignored Xu Que completely and returned to cold silence.
Xu Que felt so much anger and hatred towards the system now but there was nothing he could do.
After all, the system existed within his head. If Xu Que wanted to beat it, he would have to beat his own head. Xu Que thought about it for a little while and realized that it wasn’t worth it. So, he stopped considering it.
As soon as the system acquired all the black gold coffins, the corpses of several generations of Fire Emperors fell to the ground.
Additionally, the several items in which these Emperors had brought with them to sleep fell on the floor.
One of these items was a bright red ruby stone which sparkles and gleam. Within it contained boundless of powerful energy stored by its owner, a Fire Emperor. The energy within it was extremely concentrated that it almost bore a liquid form.
Xu Que picked up the ruby. He shook it and saw that it was moving inside.
"Quality stuff!" Xu Que was elated to receive something like this.
The ruby stone looked extraordinary. If he’d used this ruby to forge a weapon and imbue it within, it would be extremely powerful!
After he kept the stone, Xu Que then glanced around, looking for other interesting items.
There were many spiritual pills, weapons and countless of spell books!
It could be observed that several of these Fire Emperors had created these spells before they had died.
Clearly, these spells were anything but ordinary.
Xu Que looked at them casually.
Indeed, even the lowest amongst them was of the earth ranked, the second highest level of skills sold within the system store. There was even a sky ranked spell manual. It was called Sword of the Heavens and had a single emerald embedded in the middle!
When Xu Que saw the name of this spell book, he was visibly shocked!
Sword of the Heavens, such a powerful and awesome name which truly sounded like the equivalent of heaven itself!
Xu Que didn’t underestimate the powers of this spell manual. After all, it was of the sky rank and thus meant that its powers were certainly justified.
However, Xu Que wasn’t lacking in spells himself. Hence he only glanced at it casually before placing it within his system inventory and decided to take a proper look another time!
Soon after, he acquired a pair of Four Star grade weapons and placed them within his inventory as well.
His true motives for today was to first blow up the tombs and secondly, to blow up the Dragon Veins in order to retrieve the spiritual herbs!
When Xu Que looked at the few corpses on the ground, his lips parted in a smile, "Emperor’s Energy, huh? Heheh... let’s see how I can destroy it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Que waved his hands and retrieved a normal looking dagger. He then started to pry the mouths of these Emperors open!
"Chi!" a waft of air which felt like the might of a dragon was released from his mouth!
Xu Que hurriedly raised his hands to his nose and covered it. The smell was extremely pungent!
All this couldn’t do anything for him, since he didn’t have blood of the imperial family within his veins. It was thus hard to keep this Emperor’s Energy for himself.
Kim Fatty who stood by the side along with Kim Fatty Two revealed greedy expressions as they inhaled the air deeply and manically, trying to absorb this Emperor’s Energy!
"Fuck, this Emperor’s Energy is smellier than ass and you can inhale it so happily and blissfully? You are really talented!"
As soon as Xu Que spoke these words, he waved his dagger once again and started prying open the mouths of the remaining Emperors, releasing the Emperor’s Energy from them. This prevented the current Fire Emperor from using it ever again!
However, for one of the corpses, prying open his mouth didn’t release any energy!
Xu Que was rather stumped by this.
Since there’s none in his mouth, let’s try his arse!
"Whoosh!"
Within a moment’s hesitation, Xu Que held two fingers up and conjured a flash of light and shot it towards the bottom of the Emperor and…
"Chi!" The light penetrated the Emperor from the bottom up!
Indeed, there was still no movement, which meant that no Emperor’s Energy was released from this corpse!
"Shit, I almost forgot. During the big fight earlier, the Fire Emperor had also used some Emperor’s Energy. He probably took it from this Fire Emperor!"
Xu Que then realized this fact. Hence, seeing a body or two without Emperor’s Energy was normal!
When Xu Que was done releasing all the Emperor’s Energy, he turned around to look at the rest of the spirits and received a shock!
The dozens of spirits seemed to have entered into meditation states. Their eyes were closed as though they were about to break through their cultivation levels!
Xu Que didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. He didn’t expect that these spirits would gain from this Emperor’s Energy and actually savour it.
However, he ignored them and started looking for the Dragon Veins around the area!
At the same time, in the Imperial Palace...
The Fire Emperor sat atop his destroyed ruins of a palace. The additional cultivation powers which he had temporarily received were starting to diffuse away from him.
Before long, he was back at the Infant Transformation stage but his expression was still monstrous and intimidating.
"Report!" An Imperial Guard ran over to pass the Emperor some news.
"Your majesty, something bad has happened. A person managed to dig his way into the mountains of the Imperial Tombs! And that person named himself as Zhang Qi Ling of the Heavenly Explosion Faction. His nickname is Oil Bottle!"
"Pu!"
As soon as the Fire Emperor heard this, he spat out some blood and his injuries worsened!
