Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 955: Chapter 954 Rewards

Everyone was anticipating, all speculating in their hearts about what reward King Qinghong would desire.

Promotion and ennoblement? Or endless wealth?

Su Han then said, ”Does Your Majesty know about the Ancient Tear?”

”The Ancient Tear?”

Emperor Changming was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, ”I know of it, but our Long Wind Empire does not have it in our national treasury. In this entire Desolate Antiquity, only the Ancient Divine Mountain has it.”

”Just as expected...”

Su Han sighed internally. He had hoped to obtain the Ancient Tear from the Long Wind Empire, which would save him a lot of trouble. Now, it seemed that it was just a hope in vain.

Though there’s no restriction on strength at the Ancient Divine Mountain, those nine silver screens clearly serve as a barrier.

Su Han definitely didn’t believe that he could easily bypass those nine silver screens. Otherwise, the Heaven and Earth of this Archaic Era would have changed long ago.

”Why do you want the Ancient Tear?”

Emperor Changming continued, ”The only use for the Ancient Tear is for Formation Setup. With your current power, you don’t need to set up any formations. This item is of no great use to you.”

”Formation Setup!”

Su Han ignored the rest of Emperor Changming’s words.

When he heard the words ’Formation Setup,’ Su Han instantly thought of the people behind the Cultivator Alliance.

Previously, he speculated that if the Cultivator Alliance wasn’t secretly formed by the Top Ten Super Sects, then perhaps a powerful figure was behind it, or it might have even been a ploy set by Extraterritorial Demons!

Now, it seemed that the first and third points didn’t exist; only the second point did.

That is, a powerful figure does indeed control the Cultivator Alliance, a figure who does not belong to Dragon Martial Continent!

Because for Dragon Martial Continent, the concept of Formation is completely unknown. Yet, the only use for the Ancient Tear is for Formation Setup, indicating that this person wants the Ancient Tear for Formation Setup, and on the entire Dragon Martial Continent, apart from Su Han, no one else knows how to set up formations!

Unless... they come from within the Starry Sky.

And if that is true, then this person is likely from Spirit Realm!

Spirit Realm individuals are akin to Celestial Gods to those in the Mortal Realm on Dragon Martial Continent, completely unmatched.

However, it’s not to say that everyone within the Starry Sky is above Spirit Realm. Quite the contrary, within that vast starry sky, Mortal Realm beings occupy at least fifty percent!

”To organize such a massive Cultivator Alliance and to find a place like the Barren Land where Extraterritorial Demons cannot tread, in such a short time after their appearance, this person’s cultivation base and reaction must be extremely high. And to achieve this, even if not Spirit Realm, they would belong to the top-tier battle power of Dragon Martial Continent,” Su Han mused inwardly.

What is the top-tier battle power on Dragon Martial Continent?

Dragon Venerate Realm!

From various clues, Su Han even felt that there was a massive conspiracy involved, a conspiracy that not only existed within Dragon Martial Continent but possibly even spread beyond the Starry Sky.

Feeling a bit of a headache, Su Han shook his head and asked, ”Your Majesty, is the only function of the Ancient Tear truly just for Formation Setup?”

”Yes.”

Emperor Changming nodded, ”That’s its only use because the Ancient Tear is formed from the long-standing grievances of the Ancient Divine Mountain. And it’s said that the Ancient Divine Mountain was formed by countless living beings from the Ancient Era and Primeval Era, whose grievances lingered on when heaven and earth collapsed. That’s why this item is called the Ancient Tear.”

”Once, someone obtained an Ancient Tear and pondered over it for a long time before concluding it could be used as a Formation Eye. With the Ancient Tear as the Formation Eye, regardless of the formation, its power can be increased by several times at least, depending on the cultivation base of the one setting up the formation and their expertise in Formation. ”

”Apart from Formation Setup, the Ancient Tear has no other use,” said Emperor Changming.

”I see...”

Su Han murmured to himself, strengthening his convictions regarding his suspicions.

”Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing my doubts.” Su Han bowed and cupped his fists.

”No need for thanks,” Emperor Changming waved with a smile, ”You haven’t said what reward you want yet, so speak freely. As long as it’s something my Long Wind Empire has, except for my throne, I shall give it to you!”

”Including the Empress?” Su Han joked.

Emperor Changming’s face immediately stiffened, while a woman dressed in gorgeous attire behind him laughed and said, ”If you want me, the Emperor will give you, but would you dare to ask?”

”Just kidding...” Su Han grinned.

Emperor Changming didn’t mind; King Qinghong had assisted two emperors, and his loyalty was known to all. Given the great victory in this battle, Emperor Changming was already in high spirits, so he wouldn’t dwell on a few jokes.

”How about this.”

Seeing Su Han hesitating to speak, Emperor Changming glanced deeply at him and said, ”Since you don’t ask, I shall open the Long Wind Empire’s national treasury for you. You may choose freely, what do you think?”

”Thank you, Your Majesty.” Su Han promptly replied.

Even though Emperor Changming said so, Su Han knew there must be some quantity limit. Otherwise, if he took the entire treasury, wouldn’t Emperor Changming be furious?

”We’ll discuss the rewards later; from today onward, let’s celebrate extensively for three days and rejoice nationwide!” continued Emperor Changming.

...

During these three days, the Long Wind Empire truly celebrated nationwide.

People were jubilant, soldiers were enthusiastic, and Emperor Changming was thoroughly satisfied.

Three days later, the treasury was indeed opened for Su Han.

Su Han stood before the treasury and looked at the endless treasures inside. He marveled that it was no wonder the Four Great Empires wanted to destroy the Long Wind Empire. And he lamented how, despite the abundance of treasures, there were so few he could actually take.

”If even the Long Wind Empire has so many treasures, then how many would the Fire God Empire have?”

Su Han suddenly thought of Nan Qing, and his lips curled as he mused, ”If Nan Qing were like me, standing before the Fire God Empire’s treasury and unable to take away those numerous treasures, what would he think?”

At this moment, he seemed to indulge a bit in mischievousness, but he could sympathize with Nan Qing’s feelings, which would be more painful than death.

Entering the treasury, Su Han bypassed those treasures with auras stronger than the Dragon God Realm and continued to wander.

The treasury was vast, filled with various gemstones, weapons, and cultivation techniques, everything one could wish for.

Su Han would occasionally pick up an item, examine it, and sometimes put it back immediately or keep it.

After about half a day, Su Han had nearly traversed the entire treasury and ultimately collected a total of one hundred items.

These items were all weapons, various kinds of weapons. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Among them, more than seventy were longswords and long spears, while nearly thirty were magic wands.
