Everyone had no choice but to agree. It was not their place to complain, or else they might lead their kingdoms in destruction. Besides, a 50% share for the several kingdoms weren\'t actually not bad if we look it the way the empire spoke. The empire\'s forces and General Xuazong were the one who would be the vanguard, the main force of this group.

As this tomb was made by an ancient emperor, everyone assumed that dangers were lurking all over the place. It was not an exaggerated if people were to die here.

"Everyone, there\'s one more thing I will like to say." General Xuazong called everyone\'s attention again, "Please be mindful of your lives during the expidition. Our empire will not be held liable for what will happen to you or your subordinates. We will just be the one on the frontline to be the vanguard."

The general made it clear. In harsher terms, he didn\'t care about other\'s life and he couldn\'t bother. What\'s important for him right now was to monopolize the most important treasures they could find.

And after which, the big group of an empire and kingdoms finally entered the gate of the tomb.

---

While the big group was still on the passage finding some clues, Jin Rou and Asner were already inside an hour earlier before the arrival of the Flau Kingdom. He knew that the place outside would be jam packed so he decided to go in earlier.

So far, they haven\'t met any danger. Or perhaps, it was Jin Rou who made it look like easy. The two searched for some clues around the walls to comprehend what should be expected and what should not.

After a moments of searching, finally. They have reached a large twin door that as of the size of the gate outside. It was towering at the black sky.

Jin Rou pushed the twin door and a deafening creak sounded. It only lasted for a few seconds before coming into a stop.

"This place must have been hidden for at least 500,000 years." From Asner\'s observation, he concluded this. It was his first time going in an emperor tomb, and it was very different from the ancient king tomb he explored in the past together with his clan.

It was a big room with a lot of black pillars supporting the place, it was like a throne room but with no exquisite features. All you can see here was complete darkness and heaviness.

By the end of this room, there was a large snake curled up. It was also a statue, but Jin Rou could determine something about it.

"Asner, go on. The scroll that you need is beside that snake statue." Jin Rou said, "Don\'t worry, I\'m here. So nothing will happen to you."

Asner gulped. He can be rest assured about Jin Rou, but seeing that big snake statue, it was making him shudder. There was something off about it.

The treasures beside the snake statue were properly laid with each chest. Only an old scroll wasn\'t.

Asner took a deep breath and gathered his courage. He knew that he had to do this one way or another. He walked over without hesitating and grabbed the scroll immediately. He was about to walk away when he stumbled because of a terrifying earthquake.

"Who is insolent enough to touch this Majesty\'s treasures?!" It was an angered voice. It came from the stone statue, which was now becoming alive.

Jin Rou expected this and grabbed Asner by the hood, giving themselves the safe distance from the snake. It was a huge red snake, to be exact.

Asner knew he had to do something and said, "Your Majesty, I am Asner Xero of the Elf Kingdom\'s Xero Clan. His Majesty\'s Glorified Ancient Emperor has asked me to get this scroll from you, so I have no choice but to do this."

"Glorified?" The snake was shaken a bit and said, "Is he still alive?"

"No, Your Majesty." Asner shook his head, "It was nothing but his will who have asked me that. But it seems that this scroll is gret of importance to him, so I have to do this."

The snake\'s eyes flashed a split second of disappointment before retrieving it, "Hmph, it was that bastard\'s scroll anyway, so if his descendant want to retrieve it, then I have nothing to say. I, Redboa Ancient Emperor, say this."

Anser gulped and realized the true identity of this emperor. Redboa! Just like Glorified Ancient Emperor, Redboa was also part of this brilliant emperors of their era. In fact, records said that Redboa and Glorified had a deep friendship and judging by the situation, it seemed it was true.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Asner bowed with respect.

"Alright, you can have the scroll, but I won\'t permit you to have this treasure too. So shoo away before I throw you out." Redboa Ancient Emperor said. Although his heart was a bit bleeding by losing the most important item, it was his friend\'s descendant so he had nothing to complain about.

"Hello." Just as Redboa were to repeat his words again, Jin Rou finally spoke, "Can I have that book? That with a title of Records of Thousand Cultivators."

"Hmm?" Redboa glanced at this young man and examined him. The snake didn\'t find anything amazing about him, but he could sense and overwhelming power that was trying to get out of his body. It was the first time he had seen someone of this caliber and asked, "A Heavenly?"

It was the most reasonable explanation. However, Jin Rou was so young to reach that level. How was that possible? Nevertheless, the book wasn\'t that much of a value so Redboa agreed, "Very well. You can take that."

Jin Rou walked over and grabbed the book, bowed a little and said, "Thank you."

He was asking for a favor, naturally he would respect it if the other party agreed.

"Now, go away. I\'m going to sleep." Redboa shoo the two men once again. It was like he wasn\'t willing to see them any longer.
