However, for this Divine Medicine Emperor, these were precisely his main profession, while martial arts were merely his side hustle.
His attainment of Emperor status was also due to pushing these skills to their absolute limit, thereby reaching the pinnacle!
Therefore, any path, when pursued to its extreme, held the potential to forge an unparalleled powerhouse!
Xu Chuan was quite pleased with the inheritances he had obtained.
The numerous spiritual herbs he had acquired previously now had a purpose!
In martial arts cultivation, the assistance of elixirs was of paramount importance.
Furthermore, he possessed a formidable treasure like the Myriad Spirits Cauldron, which would yield even better results when refining elixirs!
Without lingering any further, Xu Chuan prepared to depart from this place.
But before leaving, Xu Chuan thoroughly ransacked everything within the room.
He even went over the surrounding walls, not sparing them.
That was rare Heavenly Gold from the outside world, and to leave so much of it behind would be an utter waste!
Recently, Xu Chuan had been deliberately collecting precious materials to prepare for future upgrades.
Xu Chuan was a sentimental person, and as the weapon that had accompanied his rise, he would surely enhance its quality!
When he eventually became a renowned figure even amongst Emperors, perhaps his weapon would have a chance to become a top-tier Emperor weapon!
Therefore, whenever he encountered top-tier materials, Xu Chuan would collect them.
By the time Xu Chuan stepped out of the thatched hut, the entire Emperor's treasure trove had become an empty shell.
At this moment, under the combined assault of numerous martial artists from the outside, the treasure trove's gate finally began to loosen.
"The gate is about to open, charge!"
"Treasures, here I come!"
"Everyone get out of the way, the treasures are all mine!"
In an instant, the gate area descended into chaos, with all the martial artists scrambling to enter the treasure trove and seize its riches.
After all, the mysterious woman had previously stated that by working together to open the gate, anyone would have the right to enter.
"Zhao Heng, let's have a competition, see who can get the most treasures!" the Golden Winged Great Peng said flippantly.
"Hmph, a competition it is! This time, my Three Suns Sacred Land will have the greatest gains!"
Zhao Heng snorted coldly, his voice filled with arrogance.
The two of them had been suppressed in their previous skirmish and were still harboring resentment, neither willing to yield to the other.
The upcoming treasure hunt would be the time to settle their score.
The half-Emperor woman beside them remained unmoved.
The next moment, the treasure trove's gate was completely breached.
Boom!
Immediately, a surge of martial artists poured in wildly.
Those from the major factions were not to be outdone, and they rushed in as well.
The woman, however, walked unhurriedly at the very end.
When the scene shifted, and everyone had entered the treasure trove's grotto-heaven, the martial artists present were dumbfounded.
What were they seeing!
The vast grotto-heaven was in utter disarray, as if it had been plowed.
Not even a blade of grass remained on the ground; even the soil had been dug up by a layer.
The martial artists present doubted if they had come to the wrong place.
Was this the legendary Emperor's treasure trove? Why was it so different from what they had imagined?
Yet, the immense spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the lingering medicinal power of the spiritual herbs, all served to confirm that this was indeed the treasure trove.
Zhao Heng, however, stared at the scene before him with gritted teeth, filled with immense anger.
"Someone got here first!"
The man who had transformed from the Golden Winged Great Peng also wore a look of indignation. "Which scoundrel did this? They were too ruthless, leaving nothing behind!"
No one had expected that after all their hard work to open the treasure trove, this would be the sight that greeted them.
The half-Emperor female expert who entered last, upon seeing this, finally showed a change in her previously placid expression.
She flew past the crowd, heading towards the thatched hut in the center.
She directly shattered the formation with brute force, intending to enter.
However, before she could step inside, the thatched hut, deprived of the formation's support and having been completely hollowed out by Xu Chuan, could no longer hold on and collapsed with a crash.
This sight caused the woman's face, hidden behind her veil, to turn green, then pale.
How could she not understand that the thatched hut had also been visited by someone before her!
"Who is it? Come out!" the woman roared in anger.
Her aura was unleashed without reservation within the grotto-heaven, attempting to force out the person who had plundered the treasure trove.
Simultaneously, her divine sense scanned the entire treasure trove grotto-heaven, trying to locate Xu Chuan.
Given the short period between the treasure trove's appearance and their breaching of its gate, the person who had plundered it could not have escaped under their noses.
Therefore, he must still be within this treasure trove grotto-heaven.
Under the woman's imposing aura, the numerous martial artists couldn't even lift their heads, trembling in fear.
Only a few cultivators at the Heavenly King realm could barely withstand the pressure of a half-Emperor expert.
However, everything the woman did was destined to be in vain.
Before they had forced their way into the treasure trove grotto-heaven, Xu Chuan had already detected them.
Without a moment's hesitation, he summoned his Golden Ancient Palace, hid inside, and then had the Golden Ancient Palace vanish into the void.
Xu Chuan, from within the Golden Ancient Palace, observed everything that was happening!
Therefore, they were destined to be unable to find Xu Chuan!
Unable to find Xu Chuan, the woman seemed exceptionally furious.
It was as if the contents of the thatched hut were of immense importance to her.
She directly controlled the martial artists present and began to search them one by one, confiscating everything they carried.
After searching them, she cast them out of the treasure trove grotto-heaven.
One after another, even the Heavenly King realm experts were not spared.
Due to the woman's overwhelming strength, they could only endure her actions, not daring to resist.
This was because one warrior, a half-step Heavenly King, had raised an objection and was directly torn apart by the woman.
This display of force served as a stark warning, thoroughly intimidating the martial artists present.
Yet, even after searching everyone within the grotto-heaven, she still found nothing.
"Who is it? Who exactly is it!?" the woman exclaimed, a mixture of anxiety and rage in her voice.
She unleashed terrifying attacks, blasting the entire treasure trove grotto-heaven from top to bottom.
Even the entire grotto-heaven world began to collapse under such onslaught.
The martial artists from the outside world, witnessing this situation, began to depart.
They feared that the woman, unable to find her quarry, might turn her wrath upon them.
Even the Golden Winged Great Peng transformed back into its original form and prepared to flee.
However, before leaving, it did not forget to taunt Zhao Heng, "Old scoundrel, next time we fight, I won't hold back. Your death will be nigh!"
"You're asking for it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng immediately flew out, intending to engage the Golden Winged Great Peng once more.
But with a single beat of its wings, the Golden Winged Great Peng vanished from its spot, leaving Zhao Heng unable to pursue.
He was left there, raging ineffectually.
He then stopped delaying and left the area.
He planned to report everything that had transpired here to the Three Suns Sacred Lord.
The appearance of an unknown half-Emperor expert in the Southern Domain was a significant event!
Coupled with the appearance of an unknown peak Heavenly King realm demon beast within the Three Suns Sacred Land's territory, all of this indicated that the Southern Domain was on the verge of turmoil.
Perhaps it signaled the shattering of a status quo that had persisted for countless years!
