The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain - Chapter 226
[Chapter 35 Classics]
Without exception, they are all level four ability users.
Li Anping looked at them one by one carefully. The closer the corpses were to modern times, the better they were preserved, especially the last three, which looked lifelike, as if they were still alive but just sleeping. Obviously, with the development of the times, the technology of preserving corpses has become more and more complete.
Each of these twelve emperors is one of the most powerful top ability users in the contemporary era, and has awakened various bloodline abilities. But he still couldn’t escape the passage of time. After his death, he could only leave a body for the descendants of the Fang family to admire.
However, when Li Anping looked at the twelve cylinders, his eyes suddenly froze. It turned out that there were only eleven corpses of kings in the twelve containers, and one of them contained a strange thing.
It was a piece of meat that looked like the tail of some kind of creature, floating in a solution. The piece of meat is about one meter long and about twenty centimeters in diameter. Its surface is covered with a layer of fine black scales.
“What is this?”
Yelu Mengxiang on the side saw him walking up to Li Anping and explained: “This thing already existed at the beginning of the founding of Baiyue. I wonder if you have heard some rumors that it is our Baiyue.” The first emperor of the Yue Kingdom, Fang Ziqi, was able to rise up in troubled times with the treasure left by Bai Xinghe, the founding emperor of the Shang Dynasty two thousand years ago. This created hundreds of years of history for the Hundred Moons.” “Oh? Could it be
? Is this true? This thing is the treasure left by Bai Xinghe?” Li Anping looked at the pieces of meat in the container with interest, but suddenly, there was a strange feeling of hunger in his heart, and he seemed to become hungry all of a sudden. Roll.
The piece of meat in front of him turned into a delicious meal at this moment, and every cell in his body seemed to be shouting and cheering.
‘Eat it! ‘
‘Eat it! Eat it! Eat it! ‘
Li Anping felt as if he was in his own body. Every cell is eager for the flesh and blood in front of him. There was even a large amount of saliva secreted from his throat, and he couldn’t help but make a gurgling sound and swallowed.
Yelu Mengxiang, who was on the side, obviously did not notice Li Anping’s abnormality, and continued: “According to internal records of the royal family, Emperor Taizu did discover a Shang Dynasty relic, but it was not a treasure left by Bai Xinghe. It was a treasure. This piece of flesh and blood was found on the battlefield left by ancient ability users. In addition, there are also some esoteric martial arts books. However, there is
no record of the use of this piece of flesh and blood among the royal family. We I also sent people to study it, but no conclusion was drawn. It looks like the tail of some kind of creature. But it is actually just a stone.
If it weren’t for the rules set by Emperor Taizu that it must be well preserved, I’m afraid this thing would have been long gone. It was cleared out of the inner treasury.”
“Yes.” Li Anping nodded, suppressing the bursts of hunger in his heart, and said calmly: “I want this thing.”
Li Anping asked for this thing, and everyone present Yelu Mengxiang naturally had no objection. What’s more, this thing is just a piece of rubbish stone in her opinion, and she doesn’t know what it is used for. Even if Emperor Taizu ordered them to be preserved well, let alone Emperor Taizu who has been dead for so many years, even if he is resurrected now. I’m afraid I have to listen to Li Anping.
Next, a group of three people walked to the third-level inner treasury. The corpses of the past Baiyue emperors in the second-level inner treasury were very important to the Baiyue royal family, but to Li Anping. But it is nothing. Except for the stone that aroused his hunger, he had no interest in anything else.
Arriving at the gate of the inner treasury on the third floor, Yelu Mengxiang sighed and said: “Only the emperors of the past hundred months can enter the inner treasury on the third floor. I no longer have this authority. I am afraid that only the emperor’s grandfather can enter the inner treasury on the third floor.” You can go in.”
Li Anping didn’t speak, but walked forward. He touched the huge iron door in front of him.
The iron door is round and looks to be made of some unknown alloy, a bit like the vault door of a bank safe. But bigger and thicker than that.
In fact, not only is the door very strong, the entire third floor of the inner vault is wrapped in nine layers of special alloy with a total thickness of 18 meters. In other words, the entire third floor of the inner vault is just a metal cabinet. If you want to go in first, there is only one way to open the door.
“Are the secret martial arts books inside?” Li Anping asked while touching the door.
Yelu Mengxiang nodded: “The third inner treasury is the last level, which contains all the precious secret martial arts collected by Baiyue since the founding of the country. This is what His Majesty told me personally before his death. Any prince If you want to practice the secret martial arts, you must apply to His Majesty three months in advance.
However, due to the emergence of fifth-level ability users, and the secret martial arts in the inner library are too advanced, it is very difficult for the practitioner’s qualifications. The requirements are also very high, so fewer and fewer people apply. In the past ten years or so, almost no one has applied.
And even if you want to practice ancient abilities, there are many sects in Baiyue Kingdom that have the inheritance of secret martial arts. These sects The secret martial arts here not only have low requirements, but also have masters to guide them. Even if most members of the royal family want to practice, they will not consider the classics stored in the inner library.
The third level of the inner library has not been opened for a long time. ” The majesty Yelu Mengxiang mentioned obviously meant King Qilin.
Li Anping nodded when he heard this. So far, no fifth-level ability user has been cultivated with ancient abilities. In addition, the qualification requirements are high and it takes a lot of time and energy to practice, so they have always been looked down upon by the ability users of the other five major systems.
In addition, the secret manual is controlled by high-level government officials and will not be open to ordinary people for practice. Even if it is open to ordinary people to practice, there are not many people who can practice due to their qualifications.
For these reasons, the overall strength of ancient ability users has always been much weaker than that of other five major ability users.
However, Li Anping still values these classics very much. Just because Baiyue Kingdom doesn’t have the guts to open up these classics doesn’t mean he doesn’t.
Other organizations feel that this kind of classics is difficult to scale and mass-produce due to the requirements for cultivators’ qualifications. It is better to study modern weapons. But Li Anping still wanted to give it a try. He felt that there were always solutions to these technical problems. For example, his own immortal body is the best experimental material.
There are also countless clones from the Eighth Research Institute, which are also good materials for practicing these secret martial arts.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Li Anping’s lips: “You guys take a few steps back.”
Yelu Mengxiang and Fang Yuelin obviously guessed what the other party was going to do. They didn’t have the guts to dissuade them, so they could only quickly retreat back to avoid being caught by Li Anping. Accidentally injured.
Li Anping saw that they had retreated far enough, so he raised his right fist.
Black thoughts began to gather towards his palm. It was like dark, sticky ink, covering his entire fist.
The door in front of him was very thick, but Li Anping knew he could break it open. The only problem is that he must control his strength and not damage the classics in the inner library.
Carefully controlling his strength, Li Anping gently extended his right fist and hit the door of the inner library.
Although it seemed like Li Anping was just punching lightly, the consequences were horrific.
The entire door made a loud bang, then deformed and sank continuously. A hoarse and disgusting sound of metal friction was heard from the door, which made Yelu Mengxiang and Fang Yuelin, who were standing several hundred meters away, feel upset.
When the loud noise stopped, the entire metal door had completely deformed and sunk inwards by almost two meters, but there was still no gap leading to the interior.
This surprised Li Anping.
‘Have you used too little strength? ‘
Thinking of this, Li Anping carefully raised his fist again, and his fist, filled with black energy, hit the dented metal door like a heavy hammer.
There was another bang, this time shorter and sharper than the previous blow.
When Li Anping retracted his right fist, the entire metal door slowly and completely separated from the door frame and retreated inwards. Even the door frame could not withstand the tearing force of Li Anping and completely cracked.
The passage leading to the third floor of the inner library was just open in front of Li Anping. (To be continued…)
