Chapter 5543 Mine
Soon, someone recognized the identities of the two individuals.
“It’s Black and White Double Auras!”
“Quick, let’s go. Don’t let them catch us!”
“What are you afraid of? There are strong individuals from the Elder Palace here. Fear a Demonic Dao Emperor?”
A Emperor who understood the Black and White Double Auras whispered, “You may not know these two. These ruthless individuals dared to kill even the people from the Elder Palace. Among the strong individuals stationed in Qingzhou City’s Elder Palace, there is only one peak-level tier 4 Emperor, and he can’t suppress these two at all!”
Once the unique skills of the Black and White Double Auras were displayed, they possessed the combat power of peak-level tier 4 Emperors.
Indeed, they were not afraid of a tier 4 Emperor from the Elder Palace.
In the Northern Territory, genuine elders were rare. Most were Emperors recruited by the Elder Palace from the Northern Territory, holding the position of external palace functionaries.
tier 5 Emperors held the status of elders.
The true elders of the Elder Palace numbered only a little over 2,000, and half of them held high positions, not needing to go to the Northern Territory.
They could stay in the Elder Palace unless there was a significant event that required their presence in the Northern Territory. Otherwise, they rarely ventured out.
Yuanyang Lake, with so many cultivation treasures, who would willingly endure hardships in the Northern Territory?
Jian Wushuang and Gong Miaoyi arrived at the grand hall where the Elder Palace was stationed in the city. As there was no teleportation array, it was quite remote. The fact that a peak-level tier 4 Emperor could be arranged to preside over it was already impressive. If it weren’t for the existence of the city, the Elder Palace would be too lazy to station itself there.
As they entered the city, the peak-level tier 4 Emperor presiding over the place received the news and was immediately frightened. He promptly activated the formation and sent a message to the Law Enforcement Hall.
Upon realizing that Black and White Double Auras hadn’t made a move and were calmly standing in the hall without any intention of attacking, he dared to come forward.
“Black and White Double Auras, what brings you to this place? Don’t you know that the Law Enforcement Hall is looking for you?”
The White Aura, disguised by Gong Miaoyi, spoke indifferently, “We want to go to the mine. I wonder if you can arrange it for us?”
Upon hearing that they wanted to go to the mine, the tier 4 Emperor immediately changed his demeanor. The formation was also withdrawn, revealing a kind and amiable face. He laughed, “Come, please come inside. We can discuss everything, and it’s easy to handle!”
Jian Wushuang, disguised as Black Aura, seldom spoke. The impassive expression on his face was a casually crafted imitation; he didn’t dare to don the genuine one until circumstances were thoroughly understood.
The mask had already been thrown into the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard, where he used the manipulation of time and space to thoroughly suppress it within the fabric of time.
The enthusiasm of the other party didn’t surprise Jian Wushuang; he had prior knowledge about the mines.
Recruiting laborers of Emperor-level was a difficult task.
Having two tier 4 Emperors voluntarily coming to mine, especially aiming to lift the wanted order, not only relieved the burden on the Enforcement Hall but also attracted a suitable workforce. It was truly a stroke of good fortune.
At least the stationed Emperor in this place could enjoy a carefree period. The outer court functionaries of the Elder Palace all had their tasks. If they failed, not only would they lose their original salary, but they would also have to bear the consequences.
Even so, some people still sought connections to get a job in the Elder Palace. Mainly because, with the Elder Palace as a backing, they wouldn’t lack resources from various aspects, and no one coveted that little salary.
For instance, the tier 4 Emperor stationed here was the Earth Emperor of the Qingzhou Continent. Any cultivator who came to this place couldn’t avoid him, regardless of their business.
After Jian Wushuang and Gong Miaoyi explained the situation, they patiently waited for the Enforcement Hall’s wanted order. Along with the wanted order came a notification from the Longevity Hall.
A tier 5 Emperor personally came to receive the two.
Although there was no teleportation array, there was no significant delay. The tier 5 Emperor had a flying palace with an Eternal Treasure.
After nearly a year, they arrived.
After destroying the wanted order, the tier 5 Emperor took the two with him, leaving the Eastern Province and heading directly to a large state near the connected mines.
“The Northern Hanzhou!”
Just as they entered, Jian Wushuang felt a trace of chill. If the Qingzhou continent was like scorching summer, with the land ablaze, then Hanzhou existed within a frozen world.
On every surface they touched, there was almost no dust, only an expanse of ice and thick snow.
In the sky, snowflakes drifted year-round.
“We’ve arrived. Both of you, hold the tokens and follow these people to the mines. Remember not to disobey. Even in the mines, there are plenty of tier 6 Emperors; it’s not a place for freedom!” The tier 5 Emperor of Longevity Hall was easy to talk to. After instructing the two, he left.
Beneath the mines.
In the long line, there were hundreds of Emperors. Both of them were tier 4 Emperors, somewhat conspicuous because most people here were tier 3 Emperors.
Even more were Dao Lords.
Emperors were responsible for mining, while Dao Lords were tasked with transporting.
And the mined ore was not simple.
“Space Fire Abyssal Stones!” Jian Wushuang’s eyes were intense.
The Space Fire Abyssal Stone, rarely circulated in the Four Great Secret Realms, could be mined here in sufficient quantities for a day.
You should know that in the outside world, a Space Fire Abyssal Stone the size of a fingernail could be sold for 100 million cubic godstones.
Mining one piece a day was already a lot.
This was just one of the three mines of Space Fire Abyssal Mountain.
And this place was just one opening of Space Fire Abyssal Mountain, an infinitely vast mountain with many openings.
However, in Hanzhou, there was only one opening.
For one opening, the daily mining volume was one piece. Countless years had passed, and no one knew how many Space Fire Abyssal Stones had been mined.
This was a crucial treasure for refining treasures and enhancing divine bodies and physical bodies.
Even with extensive consumption, the mining volume over these years was enough to supply the entire Four Great Secret Realms.
Jian Wushuang was unaware that the three major mines in the Four Great Secret Realms were once plundered from the cosmic realms by the Qishen Temple.
In their quest to seize these mines, the Qishen Temple had ruthlessly slain several Universe Masters.
Even a Special Life Form born and nurtured in the cosmic realms had perished.
Unfortunately, by the time these mines were transported, the Qishen Temple was on the verge of collapse, unable to exploit them.
It turned out to be a windfall for those who inherited the legacy.
In the Elder Palace, at the Grave God Mountain, any Inheritor could purchase Space Fire Abyssal Stone at a very affordable price.
For the refinement of the Beast God Weapon, especially in crafting for the Spatial Beast God, the Candle Dragon, Space Fire Abyssal Stone were crucial.
This time, if given the opportunity, he could plunder freely. After all, he was working for Zhen Ling, and the latter wouldn’t force him to give it back later!
It’s worth noting that since taking control of the mines, the Elder Palace had embezzled a considerable amount.
Zhen Ling turned a blind eye, indifferent to such matters. Taking a small share shouldn’t be a problem.
Only individuals like them dared to attract attention by mining Space Fire Abyssal Stones. Even the native Emperor dared not glance in that direction.
Once extracted, the stones were to be handed over. Anyone attempting to secretly absorb them into their bodies would face more than just instant execution if discovered.
