Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

Looking at the densely packed puppet army, probably numbering in the tens of thousands, stretching for miles through the valley, she felt a great sense of accomplishment despite her weariness.

There's no need to make puppets anymore; the puppets behind us can directly engage in battle with the puppets on the other side.

The puppets of both sides clashed again, while the two men sat on a rock, chatting and laughing leisurely.

Suddenly, a huge mound of earth fell down from behind. When the dust settled, a corner of the fallen object was revealed, which looked like an iron box covered in rust.

After their initial surprise, the two exchanged a glance, then looked up at the cliff face, which was shrouded in a thick black mist.

Wang Mu carefully walked to the iron box, waved his hands, and a few seconds later an iron box appeared that was more than two meters long and more than one meter wide and high.

Seeing that he was about to open the box, Feng Ji blurted out, "Your Majesty, you must be careful."

Wang Mu nodded, then flipped open the iron box with one hand.

When the iron box was opened, two pairs of eyes lit up instantly. Inside were glittering gold coins, a dazzling golden color, and there were also many crystal coins among them.

"Haha, we're rich!"

Seeing the greedy look on Wang Mu's face, Feng Ji couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you put it away quickly?"

“Everyone who sees it gets a share. Fengji, we’ll each have half.”

Feng Ji rolled her eyes at the other person, "What would I do with these gold coins? Besides, why do you have to be so clear about how you and I should divide them?"

Wang Mu was taken aback. Seeing the Phoenix Princess's expression, he stopped being coy and said, "I won't stand on ceremony."

"Hurry up and put it away. Are you trying to make me angry on purpose?"

Wang Mu smiled, then moved all the gold coins and crystal coins in the iron box into his spatial ring.

Feng Ji watched from the side, feeling somewhat disappointed that there were no holy relics left behind by the Holy See. But then he thought, how could holy relics be casually left in such an iron box?

Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at the collapsed stone wall.

Wang Mu carefully put away the treasure in the iron box, and Princess Shunfeng's eyes lit up with joy again. "Fengji, do you think the entrance to the treasure is inside this stone wall?"

Feng Ji shook his head. "It shouldn't be. How could the entrance to the treasure be hidden in the stone wall on the valley path?"

Wang Mu thought it made sense, and Feng Ji added, "However, there should be something hidden inside this stone wall."

"Yes, we'll find out when we dig it up."

"Okay, I'll have the puppet come and dig."

After Feng Ji finished speaking, he directed the puppet team behind him to go forward and dig out the collapsed earth and rocks.

The dozens of puppets dug very quickly, and before long, a secret room appeared in front of the two.

After waiting for a while, the two went in and saw that the secret room inside was not very big. By the light, they could see several iron boxes on the ground. Looking at the open space, it should be where the boxes outside were placed, but for some reason, the iron boxes had been knocked outside.

Neither of them thought much of it, and at that moment Wang Mu nodded to Feng Ji.

The Phoenix Princess understood, knowing that the Emperor was going to open the box. Fearing that something unexpected might happen, she walked behind a group of puppets and looked at Wang Mu with a nervous expression.

Opening a chest revealed gold coins and some crystal coins, along with several unfamiliar treasures.

Overjoyed, Wang Mu opened all the remaining iron boxes, and sure enough, they were full of treasures.

He couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing this, just as the saying goes, "It came to me without any effort."

Seeing that there was no danger in the secret room, Feng Ji stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this time we've probably struck it rich."

Wang Mu turned his head and said, "Would you like to pick some?"

Feng Ji rolled her eyes. "This princess of the Phoenix Clan doesn't care about these things. You should put them away."

Wang Mu was joking with the Phoenix Princess as he stepped forward to clean out the gold and silver treasures from several iron chests.

Feng Ji was also happy, as he had at least gained a considerable amount of money.

Unbeknownst to the two, on the sheer cliff outside, the black mist had just parted to reveal a corner of a palace. Before long, the hole in the mist was closed again by the black mist.

Inside the secret chamber, Feng Ji laughed and said, "I didn't expect so many treasures to be buried here. It seems we're quite lucky."

The two sat casually in a valley that stretched for dozens of miles, when suddenly a landslide revealed a secret room behind them.

Wang Mu couldn't help but sigh, "What do you call this? Right, what's yours will always be yours."

Feng Ji nodded in agreement. More than a dozen of his guards had lost their lives, and the sacred artifact they were looking for had not been found.

However, I still gained something. At the very least, I gained feelings for the emperor, learned what it feels like to love someone, and learned the puppetry technique that had been lost for ten thousand years. My spiritual power level also increased a lot. These are all gains.

After leaving the secret chamber, the two decided to set up camp nearby to rest. With tens of thousands of puppets protecting them and Wang Mu by their side, Feng Ji naturally slept soundly.

When she woke up, she was leading her vast puppet army on a journey, and unexpectedly, they left the valley after walking for more than ten hours.

Behind her, a long, serpentine line of puppets stretched for dozens of miles. Finding the puppets too slow, she discarded most of them, taking only a thousand with her. As for the rest, she left them to fend for themselves.

Not long after they left the valley, the black mist in the sky dissipated, revealing rows of palaces, dozens of palaces arranged in a staggered and orderly manner.

In the gray sky, the yellow and white roof tiles of the palace occasionally flashed, and a wisp of black mist blew by, obscuring the palaces once more.

Soon it reappeared above the black mist, as if floating in the air.

Upon closer inspection, a herringbone-shaped stone staircase extends from in front of a massive palace to a point two or three hundred meters below the cliff. This staircase appears and disappears intermittently.

Wang Mu and Feng Ji didn't look back, and continued walking forward.

The two walked for more than ten miles, resting twice in between, when they unexpectedly encountered a spiritual energy array.

Feng Ji recognized it immediately and blurted out, "Ah, what's going on? This spatial energy array might be the exit?"

Wang Mu was taken aback upon hearing this, staring blankly at the spiritual energy array, unable to muster the slightest interest.

The Phoenix Princess, too, had expended so much effort and lost more than ten guards, only to reach the exit so quickly. All that trouble for her, and now she was about to leave? It was a rather anticlimactic end.

After a while, Wang Mu said dejectedly, "What a mess! We came with high hopes, but left disappointed."

Feng Ji was also extremely distressed. "Yes, it seems we still haven't found the true entrance to the treasure."

"Could it be that we missed or overlooked some crucial details?"

Feng Ji gently shook her head, furrowed her delicate brows, and carefully recalled the route she had taken. Then she said, "There shouldn't be any, and there's only one route we came from."

"Perhaps the real entrance is inside the valley."

Feng Ji suddenly realized, "If that's true, the entrance is in that secret room."
