Chapter 2332 - Extreme King Alpha’s Treasure (1/2)
Through the opening was a square hole which held a wooden box around the size of a football. Han Sen pulled the box out, and the statue returned to how it had been when he first saw it.
Han Sen returned to sit in front of the statue. It didn’t have the sense of life that it had possessed before. It seemed that the statue really had become what it was supposed to be: a statue. There were no further hidden meanings to its existence, and the gourd in the statue’s hand didn’t summon that feeling of familiarity that it once had.
“The statue really can only be activated once.” Han Sen was looking at the wooden box. He thought to himself, “This is what the alpha of the Extreme King left behind. It cannot be anything lame, surely. It must be a deified weapon or something of the sort.”
The box wasn’t locked, and when Han Sen opened it up, he was given a shock.
The wooden box held a jade gourd about the size of Han Sen’s hand. It looked like a green crystal. The crystal seemed transparent, but Han Sen couldn’t see what was inside it.
“This jade gourd must have been carved. It isn’t a creature. Perhaps it’s a bottle shaped like a gourd?” Han Sen took the jade gourd out the box, but the gourd was entirely whole. There was no hole or seam that he could find.
Judging from the weight and feel, it didn’t seem hollow, though. It was made of solid jade.
Han Sen looked at the green gourd, and when he looked at its bottom, his fingers trembled. The bottom was flat, and a few words were carved on it.
“For the leader of Sacred only.” Han Sen was given a proper shock after reading those words.
As far as Han Sen knew, there was only one “leader of Sacred.” And this thing was from the Extreme King alpha. This couldn’t have been some nameless, meaningless item.
“Is the alpha of the Extreme King connected to the leader of Sacred? Otherwise, why would the Extreme King alpha have an item that belonged to the Sacred leader? Perhaps the Extreme King alpha received it sometime after the Sacred leader died. I still think they are related, though,” Han Sen thought to himself.
Han Sen turned the jade gourd over in his hands to study it. He couldn’t tell what it did.
“Whatever, I’ll just take it with me for now.” Han Sen put the jade gourd in his chest pocket. Then he picked up the wooden box and exited the Pavilion.
He knew many people would be watching the Pavilion, but he had no choice but to leave. He couldn’t stay there forever. He had to make an exit eventually.
Even though he had gone through a lot of things, in the face of something like this, even Han Sen was quite nervous. He couldn’t be certain of avoiding exposure now, with all the eyes watching him and his disguise of Bai Yi.
“Bai Yi! He is the one who…?” When Han Sen walked out of the Pavilion, all the Extreme King elites were surprised.
Many high level people knew that Bai Yi had used Return to Origin on Han Sen. The only people that didn’t know Bai Yi now looked like Han Sen were the few who didn’t read the news.
Even if they knew he was Bai Yi, though, they were still stunned. Even King Bai and Ancient Abyss were frightfully shocked. They hadn’t expected Bai Yi to have been the one to understand the statue.
“That is a rare occurrence, indeed,” King Bai said, as he watched. That was all he said, and no one knew exactly what he meant by the cryptic remark.
Ancient Abyss looked at Han Sen. Then, he turned back to King Bai. “How lucky. Congratulations, your majesty.”
“Luck has nothing to do with it,” King Bai said in a cool voice.
