Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.
Chapter 324 The treasure is born
The twin sisters, whom Tong Hexuan called "Xi'er" and "Ruo'er," were named Wei Xi'er and Wei Ruo'er. They were the youngest among them. When Tong Hexuan asked for their opinions, they exchanged a glance, and the elder sister, Wei Xi'er, spoke first: "Your Majesty, Elder, we both know we should do our best to assist Your Majesty. As for matters of state, we really don't have any good ideas."
"Hmm, it is indeed a bit difficult to ask you for suggestions." Tong Hexuan nodded, then said, "I have heard your thoughts just now, and in my opinion, His Majesty's idea is correct. Putting aside whether using the supreme treasure will attract other countries to fight for it, just considering the current critical situation, it is necessary to use the supreme treasure to turn the danger into safety. At the very least, we must ensure the integrity of the empire. Otherwise, what is the reason for the existence of us from the Extreme Fire Academy?"
He paused slightly, then said firmly, "Even if the appearance of this treasure will attract competition, we have nothing to fear. As long as the integrity of the empire is guaranteed, with our strength and the power of the entire nation, we can ensure the treasure's safety!" Tong Hexuan then looked at Chu Jingwu, bowed, and said, "Please, Your Majesty, use the treasure!"
Seeing that their leader, Tong Hexuan, had made such a statement, the others naturally had no other words to say and followed suit. Chu Jingwu, seeing this scene, did not hesitate and immediately ordered everyone to follow him. The group entered a study in the house. Fan Zheng took out an elemental stone from his pocket and crushed it. A flash of black light appeared in the room, indicating that some kind of magic array had been stopped. Then, Fan Zheng walked to the desk, picked up a piece of paper, and carefully placed it between two books on the bookshelf. After a moment, a sound came from the desk, and then the mechanism on the floor opened, revealing a step.
After leaving Fan Zheng to guard the area, the remaining six people descended the steps. With each step, two lights illuminated the wall, lighting their way forward. After about two minutes, they finally reached the end of the steps. Looking ahead, they saw a brightly lit area with a rising temperature. At this moment, Lu Motong stepped forward, activated his elemental power, and erected a spherical water wall to envelop them before continuing forward.
The six of them arrived at a stone bridge and looked around. They saw scorching magma flowing beneath the bridge, constantly churning. No wonder it needed to be protected with water elements; it was to insulate the area from the heat.
After crossing the stone bridge, there was another cliff ahead, with another stone bridge connecting it to the other side. Xu Demao stepped forward, stretched out his hand at the edge of the cliff, felt it for a moment, and then turned around and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment before proceeding."
Not long after, a strong current surged up from the bottom of the cliff. The powerful airflow even carried away boulders. After the current subsided, the six continued their journey. Upon reaching the other side, they entered a tunnel. After stopping at two or three magic arrays, Chu Jingwu finally arrived at the place where the empire's treasures were stored.
Pushing open the heavy stone door, a wave of intense heat washed over them, revealing a brightly lit circular hall. In the center of the hall, a crystal radiating crimson light floated atop a stone throne, surrounded by wisps of red flames. Sensing an intruder, the crystal suddenly unleashed a burst of powerful energy, seemingly attempting to repel the intruder.
Chu Jingwu stood in front, stretched out his hand, and a strong elemental reaction emanated from his bracelet, which canceled out the energy that was rushing towards him. Then he clenched his right hand, as if he had grabbed the stone from a distance. The elemental reaction around the stone immediately dissipated by more than half, and then it slowly floated towards him.
When the stone floated to Chu Jingwu's feet, he held it in his hand and exclaimed, "Every time I see this treasure, I find it incredibly beautiful!" Then, as if remembering something, his imperial majesty returned, and he solemnly commanded, "Extreme Fire Academy, heed my command!" Tong Hexuan and the others immediately knelt down, awaiting his decree.
"Protect the Dharma on the spot! I must now use my most precious treasure!"
The so-called "protector" is actually someone who is always ready to deal with sudden crises. Chu Jingwu has never used this treasure before, nor does he know what to call it. He only knows that there is a description of this treasure in the secrets left by the late king, but the late king only used it once. He is just activating it according to the method left by the late king.
The reason why Chu Jingwu could activate this treasure was because this so-called "Heavenly Fortune Treasure" was actually an elemental crystal, the True Flame Stone, similar to the Immovable Stone and the Healing Stone. The Heavenly Fortune royal family had been fire element users for generations, and Chu Jingwu's own elemental level had already reached the fifth level of the sixth rank. Therefore, his fire elemental power could be recognized by the True Flame Stone, which was why he could neutralize the True Flame Stone's attacks and activate it.
Tong Hexuan and the other four stood in five different positions, their hands already brimming with immense elemental power, ready to support Chu Jingwu at any moment. Chu Jingwu, holding the True Flame Stone in both hands, concentrated his energy, channeling all the elemental power in his body into the True Flame Stone. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the True Flame Stone erupted with intense elemental energy. This energy poured out through the channels left by the ancestors of the Heavenly Fortune Royal Family. It traveled through the underground network of tunnels, eventually converging at the four corners of the palace. Under Chu Jingwu's control, the energy surged southward.
In an instant, an extremely powerful elemental energy swept across, but under Chu Jingwu's control, this energy had a clear target and did not harm the people of the empire. However, when the elemental energy swept across, people could still sense the violent elemental reaction.
"This! This elemental reaction!? Could it be a master of the sixth rank, level three or higher!?"
"What's going on?! Has the Demon Kingdom sent another expert?"
Pedestrians on the street speculated about the source and purpose of the energy, and some even began to trace its origin.
Meanwhile, in the distant Luowen County, the ever-evolving black tide soon collided with this pure True Flame power. Upon contact with the True Flame power, the black tide ignited and began to shrink and retreat. As the black tide continued to recede, Luowen County, though not fully restored, was ready for reconstruction. Once the True Flame power was exhausted, the black tide had retreated to a distance of a hundred miles from Luowen County.
Sensing that his elemental power was completely depleted, Chu Jingwu finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, the exertion was so great that he was momentarily unable to stand steadily. Fortunately, the guardians around him stepped forward to support him, preventing him from falling. After placing the True Flame Stone back on the stone seat, the six of them slowly withdrew from the stone chamber.
After returning to his study, Chu Jingwu weakly instructed, "With the help of the treasure, I can sense that the black tide has receded considerably, and it may have already stopped. The appearance of this black tide is related to the Lingluo Great Forest. I am worried that there is a treasure hidden in the Great Forest, and that it has already left its place. From today onwards, the mission of the Extreme Fire Academy is to do everything in its power and by any means necessary to find and seize the treasure!"
