drew it.” This middle-aged man held out his hand.Shen Xiang took out a paper map that was copied, as the original had the mark of a Saint Emperor. This man could easily tell who drew it since he was...Chapter 1227: Celestial Emperor

Schen quickly left the Dragon Descending City and arrived at a remote location where he dug out an enormous stone chamber deep underground. Then, he took out the Celestial God Stele.

He had obtained this stele without thoroughly researching it, and as he soon discovered, the stele was powerful indeed. It could even be used to counter magic array tools, as evidenced by the fact that the Celestial God Stele had destroyed both the Purple Profound Mountain and the Flaming Mountain’s super-powerful array disk during his last mission.

Shen said, "There must be something powerful inside the Celestial God Stele. After absorbing a lot of energy, it can release extremely cold power that is capable of freezing everything."

White Gloom said, "That's definitely true. The Celestial God Stele was initially designed to subdue the Frozen Heaven, making it more stable and capable of continuously releasing cold power. But who would have thought that we'd end up finding it outside the nine heavens, in Imperial Heaven."

Schen took out his Ice Dragon Sword Scabbard. This scabbard was the key to unlocking a treasure box, and he still had two of them left. However, the energy inside his Ice Dragon Sword Scabbard was difficult to replenish, so he thought of using the Celestial God Stele. He didn't want its energy to be completely full within a short period of time, as that would be counterproductive.

Schen received three treasure boxes from the Chaos Mountain. He had opened one of them, which contained a Divine Smith’s Hammer. The remaining two surely had something good inside, which was why he kept thinking about them constantly. Initially, Shen planned to use the energy extracted from black ice to replenish it, but that didn't work.

Schen placed his hands on the Celestial God Stele and began pouring energy into it. Just as he predicted, a strong frigid force emanated from the top of the stele and froze the stone walls of the chamber with ice.

Schen quickly used his devouring magic technique to absorb the strong cold force, before directing it towards the Ice Dragon Sword Scabbard in his hands.

"Something's happening!" Shen became delighted, as the faint light from his Ice Dragon Sword Scabbard was enshrouded with a thin layer of white cold mist. He didn't expect it to work, let alone that the replenishment process was fast.

The replenishment process was swift, but Shen's energy consumption was rapid as well. Within a short time frame, he had lost nearly eight out of ten true qi in his body.

Fortunately, Shen had a large supply of true qi replenishing pills. After taking the pills and meditating for a while, he was able to recover quickly and continue replenishing energy into his Ice Dragon Sword Scabbard.

"This rate of replenishment means that I'll be able to open the remaining treasure boxes soon. What could they contain Shouldn't they at least match the Divine Smith’s Hammer" Shen was excited as he thought about it. In his eyes, the Divine Smith’s Hammer was already a powerful thing, so he believed that the treasures inside these boxes wouldn't surpass it.

Three days passed, and the peculiar cold force in Shen’s Ice Dragon Sword Scabbard was now at its fullest. Immediately after, he took out a treasure box and with excitement in his heart, inserted the scabbard into the keyhole. Then, he carefully rotated the Ice Dragon Sword Scabbard while sensing its energy rapidly流失.

After a crisp sound, all the power in Shen’s Ice Dragon Sword Scabbard was gone. The treasure box had already been opened, and Shan filled the lid up to reveal that there was only a yellowing piece of paper inside.

It turned out to be just a piece of paper, but Shen wasn't disappointed. If there were any powerful divine techniques written on it, then this paper would be extremely valuable.

The piece of paper was large and had the size of a table when fully unfolded. It was circular in shape, and Shen carefully examined what was on it. To his surprise, he found that the paper contained a map, and none of the names on it were familiar to him.

"What place is this" Shen touched his chin as he looked at the names on the map.

The treasure box was very old, and this map must be ancient as well. Perhaps the names on it have changed long ago, or maybe the terrain drawn was significantly different compared to now, making it hard for him to find a place that matched the map.

"Could this be just an old, broken map" Snow Serpent said disappointedly. She had been waiting for so long only to receive this old, broken map.

Shen flipped the paper over and saw a patterned design. This round design was about as large as a basin, but the intricate patterns inside looked like chicken claws frantically scratching at it. They had no meaning, and they weren't spiritual patterns.

"Hey, this pattern looks familiar. Let me think about it for a moment," said Madam Su Mei Ya.

Waiting for a while, Shen was startled by the sudden scream of Madam Su Mei Ya. She exclaimed, "I remember where this pattern comes from! It's the symbol that the Celestial Emperor had during his time."

"What is this Celestial Emperor" Shen saw how surprised Madam Su Mei Ya was, and he believed that the Celestial Emperor must have a great background.

"I don't know. All I know is that he's someone who was very good at creating medicine pills, surpassing the achievements of a Divine Medicine Master. That's why he was called Celestial Emperor. But that's just a legend, my master told me about him and said that only Celestial Emperors could draw such patterns. The one I saw was small while this is big, so that's why I didn't remember." Madam Su Mei Ya explained.

Shen thought to himself as he looked at the pattern. "Could this Celestial Emperor be one of the Nine Emperors and Ten Kings I wonder how powerful he is. This map could be related to him. Should we go and have a look"

While the Fire God Temple wouldn't attack Changwu Continent anytime soon, Shen was still worried about following this map to find treasure and then not being able to return.

"Schen should open the remaining treasure box first. Let's hope that it isn't a bad thing like the Ice Dragon warned us about," said Snow Serpent.

Schen put away the map. If he wanted to go there, he would need time to inquire about these places and might take quite some time before finding them.

He continued using the Celestial God Stele to restore his Ice Dragon Sword Scabbard's energy.

Three days rushed by quickly, and the energy inside Shen’s Ice Dragon Sword Scabbard had filled up again. It was time for him to open the last treasure box, as the previous one didn't contain anything valuable. This time, Shen wasn’t too excited like he was on his previous mission.

However, even if this remaining treasure box didn’t lead him to something good, he wouldn't be too disappointed because he already had a Divine Smith’s Hammer. That made him very satisfied.

"This is the last treasure box, let’s see what it contains," Shen rotated his sword scabbard and released all its energy. This time, he was surprised when the lid of the treasure box popped open and a red glow rushed out. A blood-red dagger rose from inside, the tip of which was pointed at Shen and quickly shot towards him.

Opening a treasure box like this, Shen was shocked by the fact that it led him to such a lethal weapon. The demonic aura from it made Shen feel uncomfortable, and as the blood light stabbed towards him with sharp and sinister energy, he didn't have enough time to dodge. However, his Xuanwu Golden Armor appeared instantly, protecting him from the deadly blow.red the tomb, those trapped outside should have also left. I don’t know if Shen Xiang met them. Let’s teleport out quickly, catch Shen Xiang, and then open that black coffin again,” said the Fire Temp...
