Chapter 63: Confiscation in Person, Blind Pick from the Treasure Vault, Two Divine Artifacts!
"Fifteen days is very short for Dragon King Xiu's long lifespan, but for me, it's quite long."
Zhao Xing wasn't in a hurry, sweeping through repeatedly until the thirteenth day when he finally stopped.
"There are nearly two days left, time to compare."
"Buzz~"
His brain sped into overdrive, recalling the scenes of the past thirteen days.
After repeated comparisons, an hour later.
Zhao Xing opened his eyes.
"I have already identified three treasures of unparalleled treasure level, also commonly called divine artifacts."
"I've also discovered five items suspected to be unparalleled treasures."
Why are there even more unmatched treasures?
Because Zhao Xing couldn't accurately determine them; they looked like it, but there's a high chance they weren't.
Three items could be confirmed.
"Swish~"
Zhao Xing quickly determined the first treasure he must take.
He arrived at a golden light orb.
Inside the orb was a black dragon-pattern carved tablet.
"Dragon Emperor Jie's 'Dragon Emperor's Law'!"
"It's not the complete Dragon Emperor's Law, only one-ninth, yet this one-ninth is still of the divine artifact level."
What Dragon King Xiu has here should be the Decree Chapter.
"Having it allows me to explore many forbidden areas of the Central Dragon Court. With its power, I might even be able to cast the corresponding Nine Great Spells!"
Zhao Xing unhesitatingly touched the light orb and took it in hand.
This item, Dragon King Xiu also doesn't know its true form, because it needs to be activated at a specific location in the Dragon Court Sacred Land.
The Dragon Emperor Era is too far for the Dragon King Era; not even Xiu or the Great Dragon Kings have seen the real Dragon Emperor.
"How should I choose the second item? Should I choose a confirmed unparalleled treasure, or gamble on an unmatched treasure?"
He didn't hesitate long, Zhao Xing decided to gamble.
Because he wasn't sure if anyone else might come for a blind selection after him.
The Dragon King Xiu's matter won't stay hidden for long.
It's now the eighteenth day since the opening of the Dragon Court. After he leaves, it'll be the twentieth day since the opening.
Such a long time, many experts would likely gather in the Royal City.
"For Lao Meng, I'll take a gamble."
Zhao Xing rushed quickly to the second location in his memory.
Within the giant light orb, appeared the illusion of a hoe.
Zhao Xing touched the light orb.
At the moment he touched the light orb, a mysterious sensation instantly transmitted to his mind.
Entering this mysterious sensation, all of his Earth Advantage Sect Magic was directly elevated to the level of top-level perfection!
"I bet right." Zhao Xing showed a hint of a smile. "Lao Meng, this time you have to worship me up, let's see if you still nag me."
Indeed, this is the historically lost [Kunyuan Divine Hoe], also known by its nickname, the 'Shennong Hoe'.
It is one of the four Earth God Artifacts.
Only an Earth God Artifact could possess such miraculous effects, temporarily elevating his entry-level Earth Advantage Skills to top-level perfection.
"Buzz~"
After successfully choosing twice, a vortex passage appeared behind Zhao Xing.
An invisible force pulled him out.
Zhao Xing reappeared on the Dragon Crystal Avenue, crouching on the ground.
"Thank you, my king, for the reward."
Dragon King Xiu scrutinized Zhao Xing's choices but said nothing, only gently swaying his dragon whiskers.
"Splash~"
A stream of water pushed Zhao Xing and Cao Qianyue outward.
Though just a gentle push, Zhao Xing and Cao Qianyue immediately appeared above the North Sea.
"Marquis?" Cao Qianyue was agitated, "Hey, what does this Dragon King think he's doing? The twelve Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needles are still below!"
Dragon King Xiu, though not recognizing the Dragon Emperor's Law.
The level of the Shennong Hoe was high; Dragon King Xiu could certainly identify it.
However, he couldn't use it; the entire Dragon Court couldn't use it, because it's the Minister of Agriculture's exclusive divine artifact.
Having given much already, he could only pull out the twelve Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needles to express some consolation.
Zhao Xing was completely unconcerned, "Let it be taken."
With the [Kunyuan Divine Hoe] and components of the [Dragon Emperor's Law], who needs an 'Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needle'?
Even losing ten thousand Ocean Stabilizing Divine Needles wouldn't matter to Mr. Zhao.
After all, it's just an eighth-rank Dragon Clan treasure; while rare outside, it's not uncommon within the Dragon Court.
"Let's go, next time we'll need to offer even more tribute." Zhao Xing said.
Tribute, tribute, the Dragon King wants a profit!
Though Dragon King Xiu is relatively fair, but let Old Wang suffer losses?
He would feel it too, and next time the tribute required would be higher.
And as the number of people coming to offer tribute increases, the standard will also rise.
Zhao Xing also had to quickly earn money, striving to exchange a few more times.
...
At the moment Zhao Xing came out of Dragon King Xiu's treasure vault.
In the outside world, at Ju Zi Palace, inside the Heavenly Secret Chamber of the Fate Officers.
Four first-rank officials, including King Heavenly Destiny, were sitting cross-legged within the 'Heavenly Mechanism Pillar'.
Suddenly—
"Buzz~"
One of the Fate Officers, 'Ji Si', suddenly opened his eyes with a look of joy.
As he opened his eyes, the other three Fate Officers, including King Heavenly Destiny, also sensed something.
"Ji Si." King Heavenly Destiny and the other two Fate Officers immediately flew to Ji Si's Heavenly Mechanism Pillar. "How is it?"
Ji Si and the other two did not have titles, so King Heavenly Destiny called him directly by name.
"Two!" Ji Si held up two fingers, a grin wrinkling his face like bark on a deadwood tree. "And you all?"
"Also two."
"Two."
The four Fate Officers quickly reached a consensus.
"Hahahaha!"
The four Fate Officers laughed together, as a unanimous consensus among them signaled a very high probability.
Two divine artifacts emerged and fell into the hands of Great Zhou!
In less than a month, this was certainly something to be happy about!
"King Heavenly Destiny, want to see if we can find out who it is?" Ji Si asked eagerly.
King Heavenly Destiny glanced at the other three, seeing they all carried anticipation, couldn't help but chuckle, "Alright, since it's considered one of our own, it's not too difficult and doesn't consume the power of divination, let's fulfill everyone's curiosity."
Then the four returned to the Heavenly Mechanism Pillar, collectively exerting their power, changing the direction of the divination to determine which powerful individual in Great Zhou claimed the two divine artifacts.
The divination was unexpectedly easy, fifteen minutes later.
The four Heavenly Mechanism Pillars projected names densely lined up.
Ninety percent of the names were the same: Zhao Xing.
"Zhao Xing?" King Heavenly Destiny was taken aback, thinking he had seen it wrong.
The other three also stepped out of the Heavenly Mechanism Pillar, coming to King Heavenly Destiny.
"King Heavenly Destiny, your result?"
"Mine is Zhao Xing, Duke Divine Might Zhao Xing."
"Mine too."
"Middle-grade official, Zhao Xing? Obtained two divine artifacts in less than a month?"
The three first-rank officials immediately doubted the previous divination, even King Heavenly Destiny was somewhat bewildered by the results.
