Everyone could hardly believe their eyes.
They all held their breaths.
Gazing at the magnificent palace before them, they seemed completely at a loss for words.
Without a doubt, this was a genuine and awe-inspiring spectacle.
It was a culmination of Eastern classical architectural culture.
It had a strong Divine Land flavor, almost perfect beyond compare.
Even Buckingham Palace, where the Queen of Great Britain resided, couldn't compare.
The former was like a courtyard built by a rural landlord.
As a Fire Demon, a tyrant who once ruled the Eastern continent twice, he was bound to have an imperial city that matched his status.
Therefore, the Saint Lord summoned all the skilled craftsmen of the Divine Land, utilizing countless expensive and rare materials, and spending countless years to build a palace of such a grand scale! This was, in the truest sense, an ancient capital that had witnessed the changes of history in the Divine Land for a thousand years.
Although it had always been slumbering deep underground…
For the grave robbers and archaeology enthusiasts of the Divine Land, it would forever be a celestial palace that they could only dream of! One could only see ancient walls that were impossibly high.
At each of the four corners of the palace city stood a graceful watchtower.
They resembled the castles of the Fusang's Tenshu-kaku, with functions for observation and defense.
The structure was ingenious, and the overall design was harmonious and beautiful.
It didn't have any sense of overshadowing!
"Wow!"
"Absolutely awesome!"
Lasso, who had a simple, honest face, sucked on his finger, praising it without end.
Even Basa Chang, the wealthy Taiwanese businessman who had seen a great deal of the world, felt a visual impact wash over him!
Then, following the tall and imposing young man, everyone moved into the inner court of the palace, only to discover that there was always something more remarkable!
Halls with double eaves and upturned corners stood in a forest.
On both sides were lifelike white marble stone carvings, like dragons and tigers, glaring with wide, round eyes, deterring all directions.
Symbolizing the supreme majesty of the emperor!
The pavilions and towers were arranged in an orderly, symmetrical manner, complementing each other.
It was simply magnificent to the extreme.
It could be called terrifying!
Everyone was once again amazed by the Saint Lord's palace, its imposing scale and magnificent appearance.
So, the ferocious and brutal dragon-headed demon actually had a sophisticated aesthetic sense, judging by the different exterior designs!
Perhaps the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, as described in Journey to the West, was modeled after the architectural style of the Saint Lord's imperial city!
"My palace!"
"Finally, it reappears in the human world!"
The handsome young man, with exquisite three-dimensional features, raised his arms and shouted.
His magnetic and charming voice was unmistakable.
At this moment, his eyes were crimson, filled with undisguised surprise and fervor.
According to the fleeting images in his mind...
The palace before them was mysterious and unfathomable, etched with countless magical runes, inextricably linked to the Saint Lord's survival.
If the Saint Lord ceased to exist, the palace would also vanish into nothingness!
Preventing the Grave Robbers from visiting and tomb raiding!
"Let's go."
"Continue to tour my palace."
"The future capital of the Divine Land and the seat of the imperial court!"
The young man took the lead, guiding everyone forward.
The palace doors were adorned with gilded carvings of dragons and phoenixes in a lively display.
The luxury and nobility were simply displayed to the extreme.
Pushing open the hall doors.
There was no pungent smell of decay.
Instead, there was a refreshing fragrance of musk.
"It's so dark!"
The Dark Queen, Jade, crossed her arms, squinting and looking around.
The winding, secluded corridor was dim and without light.
However, at the end of her line of sight...
There seemed to be a crystal-clear, luminous body.
Faintly illuminating the path ahead.
"This!"
"A Night-Shining Pearl?!"
The suit-clad thug, Valmont, immediately narrowed his eyes in shock.
He rushed towards the glowing object with undisguised eagerness!
Snap.
A finger snap.
The magic candelabras hanging on the corridor walls immediately lit up one after another.
The corridor stretched to its end.
Intense flames illuminated every detail of the place.
Glittering treasures!
"Feel!!"
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
"My eyes!"
"Blinded by the light!"
Lasso, Afu, and Zhou covered their heads, shouting.
Then, peering through the gaps between his fingers, he surveyed the mountains of gold, silver, and jewels, as well as the expensive jade.
Works of art cast in gold.
All sorts of priceless treasures!
It was all just like trash swept together in front of a door, without any organization or supervision.
As far as the eye could see, it was practically everywhere.
It completely numbed everyone's senses!
"The Golden Rooster King's treasure!"
"…Is that the Heirloom Seal of the Realm?"
The suit-wearing thug, Valmont, and Basa Chang exclaimed in unison.
It felt as though life was complete.
Even at its peak!
Shocking.
Dazzling.
The incredibly vibrant scene was forever etched in everyone's irises.
Even with the passage of time, it would never fade or be forgotten!
"The Heirloom Seal of the Realm?" the Dark Queen curiously asked.
"Four inches square, with five dragons on the knob, and the eight characters 'By the Mandate of Heaven, May He Live Forever' inscribed on it..."
"It's absolutely perfect!"
"Could it be… the Heirloom Seal of the Realm in the Capital Museum…"
Basa Chang's face was filled with infatuation and intoxication. Suddenly, a look of deep fear appeared, and his face turned pale! "Fake."
"How could I allow the emperor's symbol to be handled by mortals?!"
The tall, imposing young man sneered.
"Your Majesty, the Saint Lord!"
"I hope you will bestow this seal upon me!"
"To be enshrined in my home!"
"This servant will absolutely cherish it as his life, passing it down through generations to protect it!"
Basa Chang knelt on one knee, his attitude pious and sincere, his tone extremely humble as he spoke.
"Saint Lord."
"Don't forget the Golden Rooster King's treasure you promised us."
The suit-clad thug, Valmont, held a pile of gold coins, his face filled with excitement and madness as he chimed in.
Everyone was particularly eager for the Saint Lord's answer.
Logically speaking, everyone had been running around for the Saint Lord's cause, and should receive some insignificant reward!
They believed the Saint Lord wouldn't mind the small change.
Only the Dark Queen, dressed in trendy children's clothing, stood with her arms crossed, smiling without a word, as if she saw through everything.
"Rewards?"
"Bounties?"
"You are all my capable assistants, my trusted and beloved generals!"
"Mere worldly gold, silver, and jewels, how can they represent my appreciation and regard?"
"Put them down."
"All of them, put them down."
"I have something far more valuable to give you."
The young man spoke with great emotion.
Huh? This! So, we're this important?
"So moving!"
"Mother, why am I crying!"
"Long live Saint Lord!"
Lasso, Afu, and Zhou embraced, weeping.
Even Valmont and Basa Chang were overwhelmed with a sense of flattered surprise.
The Heirloom Seal of the Realm.
Gold and silver treasures.
They're really not worth mentioning to Saint Lord!
"A more valuable reward..."
The suit-wearing thug and the Taiwan businessman looked at each other, their expressions shifting several times. Without a word, they chose to gamble, choosing to believe His Majesty Saint Lord.
"... Idiots."
Afu the Black Tiger shook his head and sighed.
Even a fool could see that it was just Saint Lord's way of talking!
There was no more valuable reward at all!
As everyone knows, Saint Lord is a noble dragon, and also a demon wizard.
He never keeps his promises!
Thump, thump.
Thump, thump.
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed through the empty palace.
The group continued forward.
Soon, they followed Saint Lord into a golden and resplendent storage room.
In the center of the hall, on a raised platform, sat an exquisite brocade box wrapped in silk.
"I feel a pull, a summoning!"
Jade's beautiful eyes trembled as she suddenly spoke with a magical, dual voice, exclaiming urgently, "Saint Lord, quickly open the box! It contains what I need to grow!"
Clatter.
The lid was lifted.
A fearsome mask with a jagged, fanged mouth immediately came into view.
The mask was purplish-red, with long, dark green hair cascading down, and two symmetrical horns on the forehead.
Its ferocious and terrifying design was strikingly similar to the Hannya masks that have been passed down in Fusang to this day.
— A vengeful ghost born of jealousy and resentment!
