Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1438: Chapter 837: Watching Together?

Unable to catch his breath, Sui Yi put the stone slab into the box and said, "We’ll talk about it later."

Alright, Fatty Gao heaved a big sigh before he said, "Everyone, have you heard about the Xie Ruite Plan?"

What the hell is that?

"Who’s Xie Ruite?"

"Uh, never mind. Look at this!"

Only then did everyone notice that Fatty Gao was still holding a notebook under his chubby arm.

When the notebook was opened it showed the Adventure Guild page. Ten years ago, the Adventure Guild, along with forces like the Forbidden Forest, had already become a world-class entity, let alone now. The page was even more high-end. Although Fatty Gao’s Adventure Guild permissions weren’t high, he didn’t know that browsing permissions for a worldwide trending site like this weren’t high, as the news had already spread all over the foreign countries.

"Xie Ruite Plan? It’s secret, a secret plan!"

"This secret plan is led by a mysterious force from America, known as the Ghost Party. They claim they received divine instruction, discovered the land of the gods, and obtained divine inheritance, thus acquiring the scepter and can communicate with the earth..."

Such talk sounds like a cult, everyone thought, but when they saw the photos below, each person’s face became serious.

What is this?

It’s a massive amount of ancient and mysterious stone walls and treasures.

And the giant heavenly pit and the strange underground creature corpses told Sui Yi and others that it’s true.

The Ghost Party really raided a huge tomb, and inside this tomb... how many secrets are hidden?

Gods?

"I know the reputation of the Ghost Party. It originated in the United States and later expanded throughout America. Its power is quite terrifying, even more than the Forbidden Forest. This force believes in a god called the Ghost God, which is quite mystical, and their actions are ghostly too. However, it’s not just a Qi Gong class, otherwise, they wouldn’t have such a strong force."

In other words, the Xie Ruite Plan mentioned on this page is real and has succeeded!

"Wait, it also mentions here that they have acquired the spirit coffins of eighteen ancient deities and plan to hold a divine summoning in thirty-six days, allowing those who can resonate with the divine will to receive the inheritance and the power contained in the spirit coffins..."

This is such a mess, truly like something out of the Evil Path. But since it’s shown on the Adventure Guild page, and the Ghost Party’s masters are considered a super strong force within the Adventure Guild, if they collectively pushed this page, it can’t be a joke.

Outside, Flower Demon who was munching on popcorn came in, looked around, and glared at Fatty Gao, "What the hell is this? Can you get to the point, Fatty Gao?"

Hey, you goblin! Don’t call me fatty!

Fatty Gao glared, then softened his tone, "Don’t just look, scroll down and you’ll see. It’s not just the Ghost Party. Look, there’s also the official websites of The Gate and the Skeleton Society, they’re all here, take a look!"

Yhan Qingwu controlled the mouse direction and kept clicking on the respective websites. Sure enough, on several of the Adventure Guild’s exclusive official sites, there was similar content.

All revolving around heavenly pits, tombs, treasures, and so on.

"Xie Ruite Plan... it’s a global tomb raiding activity, isn’t it?" Ye Changan murmured, causing everyone present to look at each other, followed by Flower Demon’s laughter erupting, "Then aren’t all the governments’ faces completely slapped?"

No doubt about it.

Tomb raiding is illegal, dear, what are you all collectively raiding tombs for?

"Did they raid the same tomb, or did one raid it and the others came to snatch it?"

"Who knows, these forces have always been counterbalancing each other. When one moves, the others definitely follow suit. The result now is that they’ve all obtained these ancient tomb relics of unknown civilization. The focus is those spirit coffins, all of which mention spirit coffin inheritance... Why do I feel like it’s a..."

Sui Yi: "Recruitment advertisement."

Exactly! That’s what it means!

Flower Demon snapped a finger, "Clearly, these spirit coffins contain a powerful force, attracting these forces to flock to them, yet they cannot directly use it. It seems they need more people to match..."

That’s probably the general idea.

But it doesn’t rule out that these forces also have other unspeakable purposes.

"No wonder I’ve felt the international atmosphere was a bit off in the past year or two. Just a few years ago, they were fighting tooth and nail, and then suddenly, they’ve all quieted down. Those super masters followed Sui Yi into the outer world with not a whisper. I didn’t realize they all went tomb raiding... Sui Yi, can you tell which great figure’s tomb this is?"

The text on these stone walls looked somewhat familiar to Flower Demon, but she couldn’t recognize what the script was. She pinned her hopes on Su Zimu, Ye Changan, Sui Yi, and Ye Zixu, these four professionals here.

As it turns out, they had quite a few specialists among them.

However... all three frowned, clearly knowing nothing.

And Sui Yi, after looking at these texts in silence for a long time, finally spoke, "In the first year of Yu Country’s 137th year of the king’s reign, he held the territories for long, laying the foundation for an endless dynasty ruling a vast populace of millions. The heavens acknowledged his merits and summoned the gods. In this year, the king passed, and the world’s valiant honored him with a pure-blooded prince’s noble offspring, feudal generals to accompany him in the afterlife, all reflecting on the unparalleled ambition of a king reawakening to conquer the earth anew."

I have to say, although this style isn’t as convoluted as those inscriptions from the dynasties in their memories, it carries an overwhelming wild grandeur, and the meaning is quite clear.

It records an emperor’s tomb, accompanied by 137 individuals, including generals who once fought for the dynasty’s borders, and even pure-blood descendants of the imperial family and the strongest martial artists and swordsmen of the time.....

"But it doesn’t mention which dynasty, and don’t you think their sacrificial customs are very strange? There’s no concubines or maidservants, but pure-blood princes and feudal generals are buried together. What kind of sacrificial custom is that?"

"Sui Yi, which dynasty does this belong to?"

Sui Yi looked at the people around him, pursed his lips, especially focusing on Flower Demon, who suddenly looked dazed, "It isn’t from our world? It makes sense, our first encounter with that ancient tomb wasn’t from our dynasty either..."

Flower Demon recalled the Ye family’s ancient tomb and Sui Yi’s secretiveness, then chose to stay silent, instead saying, "137 spirit coffins? The Ghost Party only snatched eighteen? The Gate and Skeleton Society were involved, taking the lion’s share?"

"Maybe there’re other forces involved."

Everyone was discussing and speculating.

Fatty Gao suddenly scratched his head, and asked Sui Yi, "Sui Yi, that old man asked me to find out, what script is this? Which world does it belong to?"

Speaking of which, the people present had rather shallow understanding of other worlds. For instance, Li Luo had told them her world uses the same script and their civilization isn’t much different.

"These are not words."

Sui Yi’s answer left everyone bewildered.

"Take another photo with your phones, and you’ll see. They are not mere words."

Huh?

Everyone quickly took out their phones to take pictures of the computer screen.

Eh, no problem, uh...

"What’s going on! The fonts on this screen all changed!"

"Uh, mine’s different from yours!"

"This thing changes!"

"But it’s separated by a computer! It’s not like we’re looking at the real thing!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Words can be divided into two types: ’Inscribed’ and ’Sense Inscribed’. The former is done by hand, the latter by mind. If it’s the latter, the naked eye can’t distinguish it, nor can machines. It can only be understood through will, thus it’s called ’Sense Inscription’.

Sui Yi’s explanation sounded both mysterious and terrifying.

Fatty Gao muttered to himself, "So, if you stare at a stone and think about something, then those words can appear on it? What kind of ability would that be? Who could possibly..."

Fatty Gao’s voice suddenly stopped.

Because a piece of popcorn was floating.

Just floating there in front of everyone.

One piece, two pieces... many pieces.

Just floating there.

Sui Yi blinked, and they fell back into the bucket.

Even Li Luo remained silent.

"Can it really be done? Is this ’Sense Inscription’?"

Everyone practically at the same time.

But Sui Yi smiled faintly.

"It’s not that, just the simplest intent movement."

This is called simple?

"Wow, how powerful are people from that world?"

"Flying strongmen?"

Li Luo pursed her lips, "Only a Void-breaker can fly."

So, all those in the spirit coffins are Void-breaking Masters from that world?

Fatty Gao felt his knees go weak.

Yhan Qingwu was still looking at the images above, then suddenly looked up at Sui Yi, "Dimensional Realm?"

Or...

"A level higher."

Sui Yi had already left the yard.

Su Zimu and Yhan Qingwu exchanged a glance.

Some of the patterns here... seemed somewhat similar to those on the long stone slab, but far less exquisite than the latter.

At this moment, Sui Yi’s mood was probably quite complicated.

What was Jiang Chenyu trying to remind Sui Yi of?

Suddenly.

"I’m exhausted, Zhong Buli is gone... hey, what are you all staring at?"

Everyone: "...."

————————

Life went on, eating and drinking, treating illnesses, time flowed like water, and Sui Yi didn’t change at all. It was as though those spirit coffins and long stone slabs had never existed. The once busy housepeople gradually returned to their activities. Yhan Qingwu had long left for Country M, and Su Zimu was busy with political affairs. Even Ye Xiuling had become the renowned Chaoyang Spectator.

Only Sui Yi remained the most leisurely, often just he and Li Luo, over time, Li Luo’s strength almost fully recovered.

The Thousand Years Martial Birth was finally approaching.

The day before, Huang Long also arrived, though he was staying at Ye Zixu’s residence in the capital, naturally bringing his daughter. But today, father and daughter came to visit Sui Yi, both out of courtesy and to express gratitude.

The girl still looked at Sui Yi with some timidity, but it was much more proactive than before. With Huang Long’s encouragement, she crisply spoke to Sui Yi upon entering, "Thank... Thank you... sister."

After so many years of not speaking, the girl had long forgotten what it felt like to talk. Those four words were stuttered and stumbling, but Huang Long’s eyes turned red. He turned his face to admire a mural, and when his eyes were no longer as red, he respectfully attempted to kneel before Sui Yi...
