Chapter 284: Live long and prosper, and receive the mandate from heaven.

Murong Ji sighed lightly, what a good opportunity, it just slipped away.

Turning his head to look at the hardened tree core in his hand, the fire in his hand instantly burned up, burning away the impurities in it, leaving the purest part, but the volume was reduced by a whole circle.

"It's the material for the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon again. How come my luck in this life has suddenly improved so much?!"

Without any hesitation, he started cutting the tree core, cutting it into strips one meter wide, stacking them on the outside, and putting them into Lu Xueqi's phoenix ring.

It took Murong Ji half a month to hollow out the tree core hundreds of meters upwards.

night.

Lu Xueqi sat on the hardened tree core, looked up at the dense tree canopy that blocked out the sun, and felt a sense of calm in her heart.

When I came to my senses, all kinds of feelings such as numbness, soreness, comfort, etc. came flooding back.

She glanced at Murong Ji who was sleeping beside her, with a smile between her eyebrows. Suddenly, she felt a little angry. She had been tortured enough by him, and she still had to keep watch by herself...

"Screw, screw, screw"

Lu Xueqi woke up instantly and looked around vigilantly. The sound gradually became louder, but she couldn't find where it came from.

It's like there are noises coming from all directions, the sound isn't loud, but it's extremely irritating.

He reached out to wake Murong Ji up, drew out the Tianya Sword, and looked around carefully. Suddenly, a strong beam of light lit up, illuminating the surrounding environment.

A quick glance made their scalps tingle. Dense and tiny branches were climbing up, like countless small snakes, attacking the two of them.

Murong Ji sneered, "Oh, I said this giant tree is not a good person."

Murong Ji took out the animal and plant oils that he had extracted over the past few days. He had been preparing for a long time to guard against this giant tree.

The oil all over the sky scattered on the tree, and a pill fire appeared in Murong Ji's hand. In the pill fire, there was a piece of black jade.

This is the jade disk he made based on the Xuanhuojian, a one-to-one restoration, except that the material is not made of red blood dragon crystal, but dragon bone stone.

He refined it by extracting the essence from the large piece of dragon bone stone under the Black Water Serpent. Normally, it was used to assist him in refining medicine and weapons.

Lu Xueqi glanced at him and stood silently behind Murong Ji.

The next moment, a huge fire broke out all over the sky.

Murong Ji used the fire to melt and purify the huge pile of tree cores. The huge tree cores, one meter wide, were transformed into hard stone strips ten centimeters wide, which were then stored in the Phoenix Ring.

Murong Ji stretched himself and looked up. The fire had been extinguished.

"Shall we go up and have a look?"

Lu Xueqi said nothing, flew up on her sword and headed towards the Heavenly Emperor's treasury.

The two of them landed on the Heavenly Emperor's treasury, which no longer had its original splendor and majesty, and was now filled with only broken walls and ruins.

Murong Ji looked up and saw that the leaves here had already turned yellow and the tree trunks extending upwards were severely cracked.

He withdrew his gaze and walked into the Emperor's treasury with Lu Xueqi again, but it was pitch black inside.

Murong Ji once again took out the "light" he had refined, illuminating the entire hall, and murals appeared on the walls.

The first picture shows gods everywhere, absorbing the incense from people. It is called incense, but in fact it is the vitality of people. There are countless gods.

Murong Ji looked carefully and saw that the main body was all living things in the world, and it was not yet the time for humans to dominate.

However, humans also have gods in the world.

"What is this?" Lu Xueqi's voice was cold, but the question sounded like a statement.

"do not know."

The two continued reading, and the following sections were all describing the battles between gods. Upon closer inspection, they found that it was the gods of the human race who killed and sealed various gods one after another.

What accompanied this was the expansion of the human race’s territory.

The following chapters are about the human race's long war, its increasing decline, its inability to protect its people, and its defeat by other races.

Murong Ji stared at a mural in fascination. It was a picture of a goddess who had died and turned into half an iron tablet. He frowned slightly, feeling a little strange.

After that, the gods of the human race betrayed them, fled with their own direct bloodlines, and no longer cared about human affairs.

The remaining murals all feature humans appearing as 'food'.

Murong Ji felt upset when he saw this. Although the human race relied on humans as food, it became increasingly powerful and produced all kinds of strange and bizarre "people".

This is a helpless choice. If the ethnic group is to continue, it must abandon all ethics and morality and expand the population at all costs, like locusts, laying eggs everywhere.

Murong Ji took a deep breath and glanced at Lu Xueqi. She was staring at a mural. Murong Ji walked over and took a look. The mural showed a woman with a damaged face.

Only the lower body was left, from the chest to the soles of the feet. If it weren't for the skirt she was wearing, it would be impossible to tell whether she was a man or a woman.

He also held a mirror in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xueqi shook her head and did not speak. On the left and right sides of the portrait, there was a sky full of stars on the left, and under the stars, there was an old man in gorgeous clothes sitting. The man was holding a mirror in his hand and looking up at the sky.

Murong Ji took a look and his heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he seemed to know something about the mirror. When he looked closely, he saw that what was painted on it were the stars of this world.

He knew of a magical weapon that had the same effect, the Wheel of Reincarnation!
On the right side of the woman was a person with six hands, holding various magical weapons in his hands, some of which she had seen before, but some of which she had not.

This person is the Emperor of Heaven!
These three people seemed to be the watershed of the human race, and those gods and tribes seemed to have disappeared.

The murals after the Emperor of Heaven are of various battles. Some strange creatures and evil gods are suppressed and sealed one after another. Finally, the murals disappear here.

Murong Ji rubbed his forehead. The amount of information was huge. This kind of information was just like watching a cartoon. No, it was more painful than a cartoon. You had to keep filling in the blanks in your imagination.

Turning around, he saw Lu Xueqi sitting there, looking at him with a smile in her eyes.

"what happened?"

Lu Xueqi shook her head and said nothing.

Murong Ji spread out the paper and made rubbings of the murals. These things were very precious and could be called the heritage of an ethnic group.

How important is background?

Let you know where you come from and where you are going. When others are crossing the river by feeling the stones, your ancestors have already told you the consequences of such a choice.

It took Murong Ji half an hour to sort out all the paper rubbings, bind them and put them into the wind ring.

So he went to the top of the Emperor's treasury with Lu Xueqi.

Looking at the fist-sized tree hole, the bead was still continuously absorbing life essence, but not as vigorously as at the beginning.

Murong Ji reached out to take out the bead, and then destroyed the formation.

After getting the bead in his hand, his own life essence surged towards the jade bead. Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, then carved countless patterns on it and completely refined it into shape.

Lu Xueqi frowned as she looked at the bead that was neither stone nor jade. She dropped a drop of blood on it. In an instant, the blood lost its activity and turned dry and black.

"It's clearly full of life essence, why is it like this!" Lu Xueqi was a little worried. She had seen the power of the Bloodthirsty Pearl, and this pearl was not much better than the Bloodthirsty Pearl.

"Spiritual energy and evil energy are essentially the same, they are just two different ways of expression. If we can master the method of transforming spiritual energy and evil energy, we can probably go further."

Lu Xueqi said nothing and returned the bead to Murong Ji.

In the following days, the two spent time in the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house, being affectionate and practicing the Dragon and Phoenix Skill very diligently.

During the rest of the time, Murong Ji re-refined the plaque with the words "Treasure House of the Heavenly Emperor" inscribed on it.

The patterns inside were somewhat special, and had a certain sealing effect, so I simply retained a part of the original patterns, added some stuff to it, and made it into a seal. After thinking about it, I engraved eight words on it: "Long Live and Prosper, and Receive the Mandate from Heaven."

Lu Xueqi looked at the dragon head seal and rolled her eyes. "As I recall, your fifth senior brother's magic weapon is a seal, the general's seal."

"Hehehe, this is the emperor's seal. I'll show it off to my fifth senior brother when I get back."

"boring."

Lu Xueqi didn't quite understand the man's obsession with the seal, so she ignored it.

Murong Ji weighed the palm-sized dragon head seal and threw it casually. With a "bang", it smashed deep into the ground.

His feet staggered and he almost fell. After he stood firm, Murong Ji casually waved his hand and directly summoned the seal back.

Lu Xueqi was shocked. How could this seal be so powerful? ! !
Murong Ji pinched the seal and laughed. Then he carved three words on the seal: Fan Tian Seal.

Murong Ji handed it to Lu Xueqi, who was full of curiosity. She only had one Tianya Sword and was just curious about these magic weapons.

But she was a little tempted by this magic weapon. In an instant, she thought a lot. If there was anything most precious in the treasure house of heaven and earth, it would be the book and the platform.

The second is the plaque with the words "Treasure House of the Heavenly Emperor" inscribed on it. The quality of the magic weapons refined by Murong Ji seems to be different from those of others.

Things that can be cherished by him are naturally not ordinary things. Nowadays, even the Nine Heavens Divine Weapons are not in his eyes.

It was not until this moment that Lu Xueqi realized his arrogance, which was his disregard for everything in the field of his own formation and equipment.

"Are you going to hand this magic weapon over to Master Tian?"

Hearing Lu Xueqi's question, Murong Ji was startled and a little stunned, "No, I want to keep it for myself, what's wrong?"

Lu Xueqi exhaled slowly, "Nothing. I just thought about the future..."

Murong Ji's eyes lit up instantly, and he embraced Lu Xueqi's waist in a flash: "Do you want a child? Do you want to save money for our child?"

Lu Xueqi spat, but did not deny it. She hid aside with a ruddy face.

Murong Ji suddenly smiled and did not ask any further questions.

"Is this right here?"
