Emperor’s Domination

ad seen some of them before but only in small quantities.
Nonetheless, they still fetched for a crazy price.
The ones found here were unreasonably large, the same with their value.

There were some materials that she had never seen or heard of before, unable to assess their worth.

“Why are you surprised?” Li Qiye shook his head and pointed at a root: “This is the valuable item here.
You can have more earthflame steel and ice-source stone and they still aren’t worth as much as that thing.”

“What is it?” Yang Ling stared at the root surrounded by a tornado.

“Windprop celestial wood.” Li Qiye said: “This treasury is not bad, still has a few decent stuff.”

“This is just not bad? I think several countries combined can’t have this amount of wealth.” Yang Ling disagreed.

Li Qiye only smiled in response.

The mouse didn’t say anything either; its lips slightly perched.
Yang Ling felt as if this disdain wasn’t aimed towards her question but rather, it didn’t think highly of this treasury either.

The group eventually made out of the material section and saw a statue ahead.
This place could be considered as the center of the treasury.

Li Qiye glanced at the statue and smiled: “A good spot right in the center.
An ordinary person can’t do this, definitely the work of a dao lord.”

Yang Ling didn’t understand since she didn’t notice anything peculiar about the statue at first.
However, the more she stared at the statue, the more familiar it seemed.

“I, I know who he is! He’s the founding king!” Something flashed in her mind and she blurted out.

“Yes, the patriarch of Vajra.” Li Qiye smiled in agreement.

“So I’m right…” She became stunned.

It has been millions of years since the founding date of Vajra.
However, as a noble, she saw numerous portraits of this man, hence her ability to recognize the statue.

“It’s not left behind by a regular person due to how special the spot is, right at the center.” Li Qiye added: “This crafty method was carried out by Vajra Dao Lord to help out the dynasty.”

“Vajra Dao Lord created this statue?” Yang Ling said. 

Vajra Dao Lord has never stated his relation to Vajra.
This dynasty used to be known as Archaic Sun.
It later announced that Vajra Dao Lord was a prince of the dynasty.
Future generations even went further and considered him as an important ancestor, changing their name to Vajra Dynasty.

“So where is this place?” Yang Ling thought of something.

“You tell me.” Li Qiye smirked.

“It can’t be… this is the treasury of Vajra?” Yang Ling expressed her bold speculation.

“You’re right.
This is the national treasury of Vajra.” Li Qiye chuckled.

“…
the nation-national treasury…” Yang Ling stammered, not expecting this to be her current location.

This treasury was one of the highly guarded locations in the dynasty.
It had plenty of seals and defensive measures. 

Not to mention an outsider, even the royal members of the clan needed permission from the ancestors to enter.
There were stringent rules for entry as well.
