Chapter 140: Heavenly Treasure Hall

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

The following morning, a gentle wind blew and a marble white colour joined the sky and the earth.

Fang Zhengzhi who donned a blue robe stood within the Divine Constabulary and looked at the scene happening in front of him. His expression seemed to be in somewhat of a disbelief.

”This… is the Heavenly Treasure Hall?!”

”That's right, this is the Heavenly Treasure Hall! It was bestowed by the Heaven. When the emperor established the Great Xia Dynasty, he built this palace. My ancestor was wise and had great foresight, hence, the emperor assigned my ancestor to protect this palace. Thus, today's Divine Constabulary was established!” Chi Hou, who donned a purple official robe, pointed to a location beside him.

The location that Chi Hou pointed at...

Was a huge piece of black stone that was a metre tall. The stone was shaped like a pagoda, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. It had a corrugated surface filled with circles and circles of grooves that formed a path, as if dividing the stone into levels.

If one took a closer look, one would realise that at the top of the stone, there was a very strange illustration.

It looked like a pagoda, but it wasn't a pagoda. It looked like a tower, but it wasn't a tower. In the middle of the illustration, there was a very clear word - ”Treasure”. Below it, there was a circle of mysterious symbols.

”The Heavenly Treasure Hall looks like this?” Fang Zhengzhi was truly shocked. He initially assumed that the stone was just a decorative stone.

After all, there were many similar stones in this courtyard. There was even an artificial mountain.

Of course…

That artificial mountain had been destroyed by Chi Hou, and likely had to be rebuilt.

However, he still remembered the pocket dimension rather clearly in the River of Trust Capital examination. In order to enter the pocket dimension, one had to pass through a stone door.

But, where was one supposed to enter this Heavenly Treasure Hall from?

This was the doubt in Fang Zhengzhi's heart. Then, he gazed at Yan Xiu who stood beside him in a brocade robe.

Yan Xiu's expression seemed very calm, without the slightest trace of worry.

Other than Yan Xiu, the other scholars that prepared to enter the Heavenly Treasure Hall were just as calm, as if they had already known about this. Nobody revealed any expression of shock.

”Alright… I indeed think too much!” Fang Zhengzhi dismissed his thought and continued to listen to Chi Hou.

Then, Chi Hou began to explain the origin of the Heavenly Treasure Hall. Ever since the dawn of history, this black stone had been placed here. Nobody was able to move it away.

Then, he explained about its discovery, as well as the rest of its history.

After his speech, Fang Zhengzhi had more or less understood one thing. This illustration on top of the stone wasn't drawn by man. Instead, it was inscribed by the Heaven Dao. The so-called Heavenly Treasure Hall actually wasn't a hall.

It was just a metaphor for this stone.

A metaphor that sabotaged people! Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to express his contempt for the person who thought of this metaphor. A stone was a stone, why must he give it the name of a hall.

But, he had also understood.

The pocket dimension was created by man, while the parallel dimension was created by Heaven. This should be the main differentiating factor between pocket dimensions and parallel dimensions. Then, what was so special about the Heaven-created parallel dimension?

When he thought of this, Fang Zhengzhi realised something else that was special.

Because, after Chi Hou had finished speaking, he fished out a black stone that was made up of the same material as the Heavenly Treasure Hall. Its shape looked just as if it had been separated from the Heavenly Treasure Hall.

Observing Chi Hou's movements, Fang Zhengzhi finally realised that there was a gap at the tip of the Heavenly Treasure Hall. The shape of this gap was exactly the same as the shape of the black stone in Chi Hou's hand.

”Boom!”

When Chi Hou placed the black stone in his hand onto the tip of the Heavenly Treasure Hall, a tremor shook through the entire space.

Immediately after, a crack appeared in front of them out of thin air.

That crack was like a black hole. Nobody could see what was inside, but, the twinkling starlight inside could be seen.

”Thank you lord for opening the Heavenly Treasure Hall for us!” When Lu Yusheng saw this black hole, he instantly bowed towards Chi Hou. Then, he took the lead and strode inside.

The other scholars also followed closely behind Lu Yusheng and entered.

Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu, and realised that Yan Xiu was also looking at him. Then, they both nodded and walked shoulder-to-shoulder until they were beside Chi Hou.

Then, a hand blocked their path.

Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Hou, confused. He didn't understand why would Chi Hou block his path.

”Even though I don't really like you, but, there is something that I must remind you about!” Chi Hou's expression at this moment suddenly turned serious.

”Lord, please speak.” Fang Zhengzhi thought for a while, but eventually nodded his head politely.

”The Heavenly Treasure Hall was created by Heaven Dao. If something happens to you inside, I wouldn't be able to help you!” Chi Hou looked at the people who had already entered the Heavenly Treasure Hall and reminded.

”Thank you Chi Hou for the reminder.”

”Furthermore, within the Heavenly Treasure Hall, teamwork is the most important…”

Fang Zhengzhi didn't speak. But, he understood what Chi Hou meant. If they wished to work together as a team with him inside, that was indeed a little difficult.

”Finally…” When Chi Hou spoke, he seemed somewhat hesitant. But, the hesitation quickly vanished from his face. ”Your luck isn't very good. Just last night, Lu Yusheng had a breakthrough!”

Fang Zhengzhi became silent once again. He naturally understood the meaning behind Lu Yusheng's breakthrough. This breakthrough definitely didn't mean imply attaining Divine Seal after accessing Dao, and also didn't imply attaining Star Conglomerate after attaining Divine Seal.

Instead…
