Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

"Adjourn the court--" The long voice echoed in the hall, carrying with it unquestionable majesty.

Zhao Yongnian sat high on the dragon throne, his face calm, but his eyes faintly revealed a hint of fatigue. He waved his sleeves lightly, and this simple action was like giving an order that could not be disobeyed.

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials bowed in greeting with their heads lowered very low, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Their figures intertwined in the hall, their clothes fluttering in the wind, their footsteps rising and falling, but they all tried to be gentle, for fear of disturbing the tranquility of the moment.

Today in the court, the observations of various forces came to a temporary end with the announcement of "dismissal of court".

Jiang Yue mingled among the officials, with a slightly hunched back, trying hard to make himself inconspicuous.

His heart was still beating rapidly, and there was even a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead. Under the cover of the crowd, he glanced around vigilantly, afraid that anyone would notice the slightest flaw.

As the crowd slowly moved outward, Jiang Yue's pace became faster and faster, until he finally walked out of the hall and the sunlight shone on his face, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

His shoulders relaxed slightly, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.

He knew very well that he had finally gotten through today's test safely. Fortunately, he relied on his wit and luck to hide from the terrifying mirror of conscience.

The mirror of conscience hung high above the hall, as if it could see through all the secrets of people's hearts. If one was not careful, one would be doomed. Now recalling the scene at that time, he still felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, the supernatural powers bestowed by fate are above the spiritual creatures of heaven and earth!
"Inspector Jiang's achievements this time are outstanding and admirable. Once the ceremony of crowning you king is completed, I will have to call you by a more honorable title from now on."

The sky patrol general Zhao Jinghuan was seen wearing a majestic armor, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, his face was filled with a happy smile, he strode through the bustling crowd, walked straight to Jiang Yue, and spoke in a voice like a bell.

His eyes were full of sincere congratulations and admiration, and his words did not hide his praise for Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he immediately reacted and a humble and gentle smile appeared on his face.

He calmly straightened his clothes, his movements were graceful and appropriate, and then he raised his hand and bowed slightly to Zhao Jinghuan, his posture respectful but graceful, and said softly: "

I am really grateful for General Zhao's good words and great fortune. I am so lucky to have such an opportunity. "

His voice was steady and powerful, and could be heard clearly in the noisy crowd.

At this moment, Jiang Yue's heart was filled with emotion.

Originally, he was only doing his best to complete the duties of an inspector for Xianshenxu, and he never thought that he would receive such a generous reward for this mission.

Now the honor of being crowned king came suddenly, and it indeed far exceeded his initial expectations.

You must know that in the vast territory of the Great Zhou, it has been rare for people of other surnames to be granted the title of king since ancient times.

There are only a few dozen people of other surnames who have been crowned kings. The honor of being crowned king is not only the highest recognition of his personal ability and achievements, but also means that he will step into the core circle of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty and have a broader stage to display his ambitions.

With the support of this prince, Jiang Yue knew that his future status would undergo a tremendous change.

His status is now on par with that of a state's general, and he even has a tendency to surpass him due to his special status as a king.

Just like the Sky Patrolling General Zhao Jinghuan in front of him, apart from their royal status, the two are of the same level and are equally matched.

"It seems that the royal family values ​​the Immortal God Ruins more than I expected..."

"Of course, this escort is also indispensable."

Jiang Yue thought secretly in his heart, but his expression did not show it too much.

"I would also like to express my congratulations to all of you. From today onwards, you will all receive rewards. When the ceremony of conferring titles of nobility is completed, you will all be conferred titles of nobility by the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Next, everyone follow me to claim your reward!"

Zhao Jinghuan's voice was loud and resonant in the air, carrying with it an unquestionable confidence.

His majestic armor gleamed brightly in the sunlight, contrasting with the brilliance in his eyes.

After a brief and warm exchange with Jiang Yue, he straightened his back, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and swept his eyes like torches over the group of returnees in front of him. He waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow him.

Everyone packed their bags, their expressions showing anticipation for the rewards they were about to receive, but also a bit of restraint in the face of authority.

They looked at each other, then took steps in unison, following closely behind Zhao Jinghuan.

The crowd marched forward along the bluestone avenue of the imperial city. The sounds of their footsteps intertwined together, as if playing a different kind of music.

Along the way, the red walls and yellow tiles of the imperial city sparkled under the sunlight, the tall palaces were arranged in an orderly manner, and the flying eaves and brackets showed the majesty and grandeur of the royal family.

The guards stood upright on both sides of the road, their spears flashing coldly, and their eyes watching the group of people vigilantly. The breeze blew, blowing the officials' clothes and bringing the faint sound of stringed instruments from deep in the imperial city.

Soon, they passed through the magnificent imperial city. After walking for a while, a towering treasury came into view.

This treasure house is like a huge fortress, standing in front of everyone, exuding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. The walls of the treasure house are made of huge stones, each of which is polished smooth and flat, and tightly spliced ​​together, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

The gate of the treasury is made of heavy bronze and is carved with exquisite patterns. The auspicious dragons and phoenixes, and the unicorns offering blessings are lifelike, highlighting the royal dignity and luxury.

On both sides of the gate, there are two burly guards guarding each side. They hold sharp blades and have sharp eyes, always alert to any movement around them.

Everyone looked at the treasure house with awe and curiosity in their eyes, and their hearts were full of anticipation for the rewards they were about to receive.

"The Royal Treasury!"

Someone in the crowd was the first to exclaim in surprise, his voice filled with uncontrollable wonder and awe.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the towering building in front of them, with complex lights flashing in their eyes, including shock, yearning, and a hint of greed that was hard to conceal.

It is said that in the distant past, Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty rose in the midst of chaos, and with his extraordinary strategy and superior military force, he unified the country and established the prosperous Great Zhou Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu collected rare treasures and secrets from all over the world, gathered them in one place, and carefully built this royal treasury, making it a treasure land of the Great Zhou Dynasty, carrying countless legends and glory.

Time flies, and thousands of years have passed in a hurry. Although in this long history, many secret methods in the treasure house that were once untold have gradually been promoted with the changes of the times and the development of the dynasty.

However, after dozens of generations of emperors' painstaking efforts and continuous accumulation, the royal treasury still has a profound heritage, and houses countless coveted rare treasures and mysterious skills.

At this moment, everyone stood in front of the treasure house, knowing that this would be a rare opportunity in their lives. Because they were about to be given an invaluable right - to choose any secret method or treasure from the treasure house!
This means that they may be able to take this opportunity to obtain the key to changing their own destiny and improving their strength, soaring to the sky and gaining a place in the ever-changing Great Zhou Dynasty.

Thinking of this, many people's breathing became rapid, their eyes revealed irrepressible excitement and excitement, and their feet unconsciously moved forward a few steps, as if they couldn't wait to rush into the treasure house and pick out the treasure that belonged to them.

"You can enter and choose according to the order."

Zhao Jinghuan's voice rang in everyone's ears again, his tone was steady and full of unquestionable majesty. He raised his head slightly, and his eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, revealing a hint of scrutiny and expectation.

Then, he set his sights on Jiang Yue, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile of appreciation, and then said: "Inspector Jiang, please come with me, you and I will go first."

As soon as these words came out, there was a slight commotion in the crowd. Everyone looked at Jiang Yue with a mixture of envy and jealousy.

They all knew that the order of entering the treasury was obviously determined by the size of everyone's achievements this time.

Jiang Yue had made great achievements this time, and he deserved the title of first choice to enter the treasury first to select treasures and secrets. However, even though they knew it, they couldn't help but feel envious. After all, everyone wanted to be the first to enter the treasury and select the most desired and precious items.

Jiang Yue was slightly startled, but then he reacted. A humble smile appeared on his face, and he bowed slightly to Zhao Jinghuan and said respectfully: "Thank you General Zhao for your kindness. Jiang is deeply honored."

His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, revealing a sense of calmness and confidence. Then, he straightened his back, took firm steps, followed Zhao Jinghuan, and walked towards the gate of the royal treasury.

The two men arrived at the door of the treasury. Seeing this, the two burly guards immediately stepped forward, clasped their hands together, and gave a standard military salute to Zhao Jinghuan and Jiang Yue, then turned around and issued an order.

squeak-

The door slowly opened, and an old and mysterious smell blew in, mixed with a faint scent of sandalwood.

When Jiang Yue and Zhao Jinghuan stepped through the heavy bronze gate and entered the royal treasury, they were so shocked by the scene before them that they were speechless.

The internal space of the treasury was much larger than they had imagined. It was like a small city hidden deep within the imperial palace, with no end in sight.

A soft and mysterious light emanated from the luminous pearls inlaid on the surrounding walls, illuminating the entire treasure house as bright as day, with every corner clearly visible.

Looking around, rows of tall bookshelves are filled with various classics. The yellowed pages carry the traces of time and exude an ancient and heavy atmosphere.

Various magical weapons are displayed on the shelves, some of which are flashing with cold light, as if they can cut through the air; some of which are emitting strange light, and it is obvious at a glance that they are not ordinary items.

There are also many strange objects, such as the corpses of demons in various shapes, some of which are hideous and terrifying, and some exude a mysterious aura; there are also those spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, which flash with colorful light and contain powerful spiritual fluctuations, making people want to reach out and touch them.

"Inspector Jiang can choose any martial arts book to read. He can come to the treasure house or make a copy at any time. If he wants to take the original, he can choose any three."

Zhao Jinghuan's voice broke the silence, with a hint of pride and generosity in his tone.

He was obviously well aware of the rules of the royal treasury, which also showed that this was not his first time stepping into this mysterious place.

Jiang Yue's eyes were gleaming with excitement. He swept his gaze over the martial arts books one by one, his heart filled with excitement and anticipation.

Perhaps some of these classics contain something good that could help him reach even higher levels of strength.

For him, it is not enough to learn just one killing method, but the more the better.

The immortal fighting method is all-encompassing!
He nodded slightly and said gratefully: "Thank you, General Zhao, for your kindness. I will definitely remember it in my heart."

"As for weapons and materials, does Inspector Jiang have any interest in them? I can introduce them to you."

Zhao Jinghuan continued, his eyes revealing his concern and attention for Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue turned his gaze to the area where weapons and materials were placed. After thinking for a moment, he said, "To be honest, after the realm has been upgraded, the demand for weapons has increased a lot."

Zhao Jinghuan smiled slightly and walked towards the weapons area with Jiang Yue. He introduced them as he walked: "Every weapon in this treasure house has a great history. This 'Frost Star Sword' is made of thousand-year-old cold iron. It is extremely sharp and chilling. The holder can control the power of ice and surprise the enemy in battle."

"There is also this 'Flame Sun Blade'. The blade contains the power of the blazing sun. When it is swung, it can set off a blazing fire. It is incredibly powerful..."

With Zhao Jinghuan's detailed introduction, Jiang Yue had a deeper understanding of the weapons and materials in the treasure house, and he gradually made a choice in his mind.

"Too light."

Jiang Yue shook his head slightly, and then said: "Although the magic weapon is good, it is not suitable for my hands. I still want to find some materials to improve the existing weapons."

This is the truth. In terms of level and characteristics, the magic weapons in front of me may not be as good as those in my hands. Moreover, in terms of growth potential, the difference may be even greater.

However, it is indeed time to put the improvement of weapons on the agenda. After these battles, Jiang Yue's accumulated demon scales and minions have almost filled up his storage bag, just enough to be used.

What is missing now is still a main material. If I can find it here, after returning to Yunzhou, I will ask Master Xu Chong to upgrade the weapon again.

While Zhao Jinghuan was introducing him, Jiang Yue opened his eyes slightly and looked at him carefully.

In an instant, he felt a blessing coming to his heart, as if something was resonating with him.

"Ok?"

"This is…"
