Chapter 1328 The Fruit of Robbery
"go!"
Dragging a pile of corpses, Xu Changshou and the other two continued heading north.
Soon, a magnificent palace appeared from the endless black mist.
Upon arriving at the palace entrance, Xu Changshou discovered that spiritual energy had returned, and the spiritual energy within him had been unsealed.
So he patted his storage bag and put all the corpses of the Azure Wind Wolves into it.
The palace doors were open, and anyone could enter.
Venerable Red Lotus glanced at the palace gate and said, "This should be the tomb."
Venerable Hongwu nodded and said, "I hope this is a real tomb."
"Let's go in, but be careful!"
As Venerable Red Lotus spoke, he casually cast a defensive spell.
Venerable Hongwu patted his storage bag and took out an umbrella, placing it over his head.
Xu Changshou didn't dare to be careless either. He casually made a hand seal, and a large earthen-yellow seal appeared above his head.
Only after taking precautions did the three dare to enter.
After entering the palace, an underground passage appeared, its dark interior leading to an unknown destination.
The three exchanged a glance and then entered the underground passage.
The passage was long and narrow, leading downwards. It took the three of them a long time to reach the end.
At the end of the secret passage, a huge underground palace appeared. In the very center of the palace, there was a dark coffin, the material of which was unknown.
"Look, it's a coffin!"
"right here."
"Let's go over and have a look!"
Upon seeing the coffin, all three smiled and walked towards it.
In front of the coffin stood a blue stone tablet with a few words of inscription.
Xu Changshou went closer and saw that it read: "I am Lu Qing. This is my cenotaph. You are destined to come here. Kneel and pay your respects, and swear not to search for my tomb, and you will receive the treasures in the coffin."
"So it's a cenotaph!"
After reading the inscription, Xu Changshou couldn't help but feel disappointed. All that effort had turned out to be a fake tomb.
Venerable Red Lotus's expression was rather unpleasant, and he said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, both of you, I didn't know this was a cenotaph."
Venerable Hongwu laughed and said, "A cenotaph may not necessarily contain good things. As for a real tomb, we don't have the ability to get in."
Xu Changshou took a closer look. The coffin was sealed, and he didn't know how to open it. The inscription on the tombstone said that one had to kowtow and swear an oath not to search for his tomb in order to obtain the treasure.
Xu Changshou glanced at Venerable Honglian and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Honglian, look..."
Venerable Red Lotus thought for a moment and said, "We don't know where Senior Lu Qing's tomb is right now, so let's not look for it! Senior Lu Qing is a cultivator who has transcended tribulation, so he is our senior. If we want to obtain the treasures in his cenotaph, it's no problem for us to kowtow a few times. Junior Brother Xu, Junior Brother Hong, come, let's all pay our respects to Senior Lu Qing."
Xu Changshou thought about it and felt that what Venerable Red Lotus said made sense.
Next, the three knelt in front of the coffin and kowtowed several times, vowing not to search for Lu Qing's tomb.
After they finished kowtowing, they discovered that the restrictions on the coffin had disappeared on their own.
"Great! Quickly, open the coffin!"
Venerable Hongwu stepped forward, about to push open the coffin lid.
"and many more!"
Venerable Red Lotus stopped him and said, "Junior Brother Hong, Junior Brother Xu contributed the most to our entry into the tomb this time. I would like to give Junior Brother Xu the right to choose the treasures first."
Venerable Hongwu nodded upon hearing this: "That's right. Junior Brother Xu contributed the most. If it weren't for Junior Brother Xu, we wouldn't have been able to get here at all. Let Junior Brother Xu choose first. After Junior Brother Xu chooses, Senior Sister Honglian will choose, and I will choose last."
"No no no!"
Xu Changshou shook his head slightly and smiled, "According to the initial agreement, let Senior Sister Honglian choose first. This cenotaph was discovered by Senior Sister Honglian, and it was Senior Sister Honglian who led us to explore. If it weren't for Senior Sister Honglian, we would never have been here. Senior Sister Honglian, please don't be shy, you should choose first."
Honglian thought for a moment and said, "I can choose first, but if there are any extra treasures, I suggest Junior Brother Xu take one more."
"Row!"
Venerable Hongwu laughed and said, "If there are any extras, then let Junior Brother Xu take one more. I have no objection."
"If it's red, then I won't be polite." Xu Changshou nodded with a smile.
The Venerable Hongwu reached out and pressed down on the coffin, then gently pushed it open.
Once the coffin lid was opened, the contents were immediately visible; there were a total of seven items inside.
A purple chariot, no bigger than the palm of your hand.
A sealed white jade box.
A jade ruyi (a type of scepter).
A fiery red sword.
A golden-embroidered robe.
A green bead the size of a longan.
A seven-colored magic pen.
Xu Changshou and the others took out all the items and began to examine them one by one.
That purple carriage is a high-level flying magic weapon called the Purple River Carriage. Its normal cruising speed is 120,000 yuan, and its maximum speed is 150,000 yuan.
It is even faster than the Crimson Lotus Chariot of Venerable Crimson Lotus.
When the white jade box was opened, what was sealed inside was actually a green fruit with natural yin-yang fish patterns on it.
"Hiss—this is... the Robbery Fruit!"
Venerable Red Lotus gasped, then ecstatic.
"The Dao-Stealing Fruit! It's actually the Dao-Stealing Fruit!"
The Venerable Hongwu's eyes also widened in surprise.
Xu Changshou asked curiously, "What is the Tribulation Fruit?"
Venerable Red Lotus smiled and said, "The Tribulation Fruit is a natural treasure of heaven and earth, which can increase the chance of breaking through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm by 30%."
"nice one!"
Xu Changshou looked surprised.
With his current spiritual roots, Xu Changshou is fully confident that he can break through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm even without using the Tribulation Dao Fruit.
The Robbery Fruit was useless to him.
Although it was useless to him, it was a priceless treasure to Mahayana and Great Perfection cultivators like Venerable Honglian and Venerable Hongwu.
Let alone increasing the chances of breaking through the tribulation by 30%, even increasing it by 10% would be remarkable.
It should be understood that once one breaks through the Tribulation Transcending Realm, one becomes the supreme being in the mortal realm, with a lifespan exceeding 100,000 years.
With a wave of his hand, Venerable Red Lotus sealed the Dao-Sealing Fruit once more, and said, "Junior Brother Xu, Junior Brother Hong, I have the right of first choice, so I will choose it."
That's right, before the other treasures could be appraised, Honglian directly chose the Robbery Fruit.
The Tribulation Fruit was too important to her. Venerable Red Lotus's spiritual root was five times stronger, and she didn't have absolute confidence in breaking through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm.
If she were to acquire this Tribulation Fruit, her chances of breaking through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm would be much greater.
Therefore, Venerable Red Lotus chose the Tribulation Fruit without hesitation.
Seeing her take the Dao-robbing fruit, Venerable Hongwu scratched his head, thinking it was a pity. He also wanted the Dao-robbing fruit, but Venerable Honglian had the right of first choice.
Xu Changshou didn't care.
Next, we will continue to appraise the treasures.
The third treasure is a jade ruyi, called the Eight Treasures Jade Ruyi. It is a high-level defensive magic weapon and also a spatial magic weapon.
Venerable Hongwu held the jade ruyi in his hand and simultaneously extended his divine sense.
"Huh? There's something else inside?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Changshou and Venerable Honglian both extended their divine senses.
