Chapter 463

Chapter 463 – Law Temple

The imperial palace was extremely large . If an ordinary person walked around, it would be quite easy to get lost, because the regions were like small worlds in themselves . There were many spatial formations that were laid down that made the place far larger than what one would expect .

Shi Hao had just entered a region with rather sparse vegetation . This place was so boundless that he couldn’t see the other end . The earth before him was a scarlet red color and there was grit everywhere . It was just like a desert .

Fortunately, after walking a short distance, he reached his intended destination . There was an ancient temple here that flowed with multicolored light and brilliant luster . It was a holy and peaceful place .

This was the imperial family’s most important area — Law Temple .

If it was divided into parts, there would be a scripture floor, precious technique hall, and others . However, the entire place was an ancient temple, one that was solemn and serene . As it flowed with golden color under sunlight, even though there was an aura that felt as if it had gone through great changes, it still gave off the imperial family’s prestige .

This ancient temple had lasted through too much . It had not fallen since the ancient times, and all of the imperial family’s secret texts were stored here . This was the great dao foundation of a country .

When Shi Hao approached this place, his mind was greatly stirred up . He was even more excited than when he saw all types of divine materials just now within the inner treasury . This was what he looked forward to the most .

This vast area was quiet . In front of the ancient temple was a single upright and strong old pine tree . Its bark was splitting apart, as if an old dragon was curling about this place .

Apart from this, there wasn’t even a soldier here . No one protected this place, making this place appear extremely peaceful and detached from the rest of the world .

“Before the great calamity came, there were imperial supreme experts overseeing this place . They were already within the imperial palace, so they should be protected but, alas…” The War King said with a sigh .

When the great calamity arrived the Supreme Experts were all crushed and defeated . They disappeared from this world, so there were only a few bloody traces left here .

“Yi?” Shi Hao was astonished . Before ascending the stairs of the Law Temple, he felt a type of dao rhythm that was difficult to describe, leaving him somewhat distracted .

The War King was astonished . The old guard beside him also opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately closed it again in fear of startling Shi Hao .

This Law Temple was unordinary . After all those endless years, it was unknown how many human emperors studied within the temple . There was naturally a great dao aura that did not disperse, and over time, this temple seemed to have almost developed intelligence .

Over the years, there would be people who would come here to submerge themselves in a state of dao comprehension . They wouldn’t use the temple’s resources or flip through the scriptures and instead only came because of this temple, however, those individuals were few .

This was the first time Shi Hao came to this place, so he had no chance to look at the bone books here before . However, he directly came into contact with this ‘dao’, resonating with this place and entering a state of dao comprehension, so this was naturally quite shocking .

A moment later, golden chains appeared around the temple’s gates, submerging Shi Hao within . He stood at the center with golden chains blossoming all around him . They sent out streaks of golden multicolored light that revolved around his body .

His body also released sparkling precious light, as well as a wave of sweet fragrance . This was the embodiment of his flesh becoming close to the dao, harmonizing with the world and coexisting with the great dao .

“Formidable! The youth’s ability truly must be respected!” The War King sighed lightly . It wasn’t that he previously thought that the little Stone’s talent wasn’t exceptional, but when he saw it for himself, he still couldn’t help but be deeply moved .

The old guard also nodded and said, “This type of talent would be rare even in the higher realms . I truly hope that there is a day when the new emperor can ascend early and suppress all of those opinionated individuals . ”

An hour later, Shi Hao awoke from his state with a clear mind . The things he comprehended in the great calamity were condensed, consolidated, and further advanced .

At this moment, his flesh was even more spiritual . Not only was it sturdy, it also harmonized closely with the dao, making it easier to engrave symbols on them and other things .

From a certain perspective, this was even more important than advancing cultivation stages, because he was accumulating potential and expanding his body’s boundless treasury . There would be a day sooner or later when his fleshly divine treasury would be opened, and he would soar into the heavens .

From here onwards, Shi Hao’s cultivation would advance even more smoothly, because his body and mind would be clear, making it easier for them to assimilate with the dao .

Shi Hao’s eyes were clear and bright . He finally walked into the temple . There were no people guarding this place either . There was actually a pair of extremely powerful battle idols that were currently guarding this ancient temple .

After walking into this temple, he felt a great and sacred aura . There was even a type of imperial might . This place was extremely solemn and dignified .

However, Shi Hao immediately wrinkled his brows . There were a few white jade tables within this palace hall, but the number of bone books was clearly fewer and some must have been taken by others .

The War King also frowned, feeling somewhat angry and helpless . He explained how after the great calamity, a few princes, princesses, and imperial uncles barged into this place and brought away a portion of the ancient texts .

Shi Hao’s eyebrows jumped . It was this group of people that colluded with the foreign regions again . In order to ascend to the throne, they actually plundered and looted in such a wanton manner, leaving him extremely unhappy .

“There was originally an image of a great Golden-Winged Peng rushing into the heavens . This was an extremely precious dao diagram with the true profound mysteries of the Golden Peng Race . ” The old guard pointed towards a wall that was now empty .

Shi Hao’s thoughts jumped . The Great Golden Peng Race’s precious technique, even if left behind by a descendant, was still priceless . If not for the fact that he already grasped the true Kun Peng technique, he definitely would’ve been furious .

“There was a Suan Ni sky trick diagram . With ten thousands streaks of lightning, it would rush into the nine heavens and bombard the heavens . ” The old guard continued and pointed at another place that was now empty .

This time, Shi Hao no longer remained calm . He cultivated the lightning technique and was proficient in the Suan Ni’s precious technique, but what he had was left behind by a descendant, and he truly wished to obtain a more perfect technique from the race . If this diagram hadn’t been lost, he could have studied it side by side with what he already knew .

“Do you know who seized this diagram?” Shi Hao asked in a gloomy voice .

“Your majesty, there is no need to be angry . The Suan Ni sky trick diagram has been lost, but this old one is proficient on this precious technique and can offer it to you . ” The War King suddenly spoke up .

“Oh?” Shi Hao was astonished, and then he revealed a look of joy .

Stone Clan’s nobility all used to be given by the imperial family, but after many years passed, they could only be called King Clans . They naturally grasped a few extremely important imperial precious techniques as well .

The old guard smiled and said, “That is the truth . Your majesty does not need to worry . My Stone Country has two types of country protecting divine abilities, and both precious techniques belong to archaic heavenly ranked vicious beasts, with one of them being the Suan Ni technique . ”

This implied that this Suan Ni sky trick diagram only recorded a descendant’s precious technique . There was still a pure-blooded divine ability, so he didn’t have to worry too much .

When the War King heard this, he shook his head and said, “Some others and I have searched this place, but we weren’t able to find it . ”

“There is no need to worry . These two precious techniques won’t be passed out, and only the human emperor can study them . They should be recorded in another place . ” The old guard knew some inside information .

Of the two country guarding divine abilities, the first was a Bi’an technique, and the other the Suan Ni technique . A long time ago, there were three techniques, and they were passed down by the guardian spirit, but during a period of chaos, one had been lost for good .

“I heard that the Bi’an technique appears to be perfect, but it is still missing a portion . The truly perfect one is only the Suan Ni precious technique . ” The War King frowned .

“There truly is this saying . The Bi’an divine ability had lost some symbols during a great disorder that swayed the fate of the nation . It appears to be glorious and splendid, but it is not perfect . ” The old guard sighed and said .

When Shi Hao heard this, his heart was incomparably shaken . During the ancient years, Stone Country was truly at its pinnacle . There were originally three types of world-shaking precious abilities and they were all heavenly ranked; how breathtaking of a time was this?

Unfortunately, one was completely lost, one was damaged, and only the Suan Ni technique was left . He even had to search for it himself .

However, he was still quite satisfied . He cultivated the lightning divine ability to begin with, so if he were to obtain the pure-blooded heavenly ranked vicious beast’s inheritance, then that would be perfect . It would make up for what he was lacking .

They continued to walk forward . There were quite a few bone books and cultivation resources recorded . Shi Hao browsed through them along the way . Even though they couldn’t be compared to the True Primordial Record, he was still able to obtain some inspiration .

Unfortunately, a few jade bone pieces, silver secret canon, and other important bone books were missing, and were all taken away by others . It made this place appear somewhat lacking .

“There used to be a peacock diagram here where rainbow divine light splits apart the skies . It was extremely profound and mysterious . ”

After hearing this explanation, Shi Hao’s face darkened, because the extremely precious techniques had all been seized away by others . There weren’t many things left behind .

The War King smiled and said, “No matter . If Your Majesty wishes to cultivate these precious techniques, I can gather various kings to provide them . After all, they all came from the imperial family, so the great nobilites’ ancestors all cultivated these imperial great divine abilities . ”

“Would that be possible?” Shi Hao was stirred up and revealed a look of joy .

“That is not an issue . ” The War King nodded .

Shi Hao immediately relaxed a bit . The loss of bone books in the Law Temple was severe, but as long as he can regather a few important methods, then that would still be a joyous thing .

Then, he listened to the old guard introduce various things along the way, learning about all types of profound divine abilities . A wave of passion burned within him . Regardless of whether they were lost, as long as they could be obtained again, then he would be able to benefit greatly .

Shi Hao found it hard to calm down . He never thought that inheriting the title of emperor would be so amazingly beneficial . Forget about the treasury, just the Law Temple alone, if its precious techniques had not been lost, would be enough for one to go mad .

However, after thinking about it, he felt that this should be how it is . After all, this was the foundation of a country . Regardless of whether it was divine materials, magical artifacts, or divine abilities, it would naturally be world shocking . Ordinary great sects would never be able to compare .

“The entire country’s resources are all at my disposal . If I still can’t use force to suppress this present age, then I don’t deserve the title of supreme youth . ” Shi Hao said to himself .

He sat with his legs crossed on a praying mat . This was a quiet room within the Law Temple designed specifically for the human emperor’s use during his stay while browsing ancient books or records . He wanted to test it out to see if he could enter the state of dao comprehension again .

The War King and old guard retreated . They stood guard in front of the Law Temple entrance .

“Where exactly is the Suan Ni’s precious technique?” Shi Hao said quietly . Then, he suddenly had an idea . He took out the human emperor imprint and carefully inspected it . He also tried to activate it .

Weng!

Suddenly, the entire stone room trembled . Purple clouds surged and lightning interweaved, filling this place with thunderous sounds .

On that wall appeared an enormous Suan Ni . Purple streaks ran through its golden exterior . It was ferocious, sinister, and utterly terrifying . It was as if it was going to pounce straight out of the stone walls .

“Suan Ni precious technique!”

Shi Hao was astonished and couldn’t help but laugh out loudly . It truly had to do with the emperor imprint, allowing him to obtain it just like that .

The harvest this time was truly great . A heavenly ranked vicious beast’s most powerful precious technique was in his hands . This was more important than anything else . Without a doubt, his fighting prowess would once again soar through the roof .

Thunder and lightning were amongst the world’s most terrifying powers . With the appearance of the Suan Ni’s precious technique, Shi Hao could even further overpower his enemies .

“Now is still not the time to study it . The problematic generals, nobles, and others need to be dealt with first . ” Shi Hao said softly . He firmly engraved the Suan Ni imprint within his memory .

“Wu, there is also a beautiful captive,” said Shi Hao . He brought out the bronze piece that shone with multicolored light within his palm . He began to open a golden passageway .

Fairy Yue Chan was taken prisoner inside, imprisoned within this small world the entire time .
