Chapter 1983 - 1512: The Three Forbidden Grounds of the Treasury! Human Emperor Tower!

As Jiang Dali anticipated, the He Family not only provided more detailed intelligence but also conveyed encrypted information about the internal workings of the Emperor’s Treasure Vault to him through the players.

Both parties had agreed on using a copy of the Holy Dynasty Chronicles as the decryption tool. Any message transmitted by the players consisted of a combination of incomprehensible numbers to outsiders. Upon receiving the transmitted message, both parties would use the combination of numbers to find the corresponding text in the Holy Dynasty Chronicles, ultimately piecing together the intelligence.

Moreover, the Holy Dynasty Chronicles is a book that only prominent figures within the Holy Dynasty might possess, difficult for players to obtain. They also remain unaware that the decryption tool is this book, thus ensuring the confidentiality of communications between the parties.

Through the decrypted intelligence, Jiang Dali learned that the four top families, Xu, Liu, Sha, and Chen, allied with the Spirit Sect Master, likely planned to take action against him within the Emperor’s Treasure Vault. There’s a high chance they aim to trap him in the Twisted Time-Space Corridor, making it difficult for him to leave the treasure vault.

By then, he might have to wait for the next opening of the Emperor’s Treasure Vault or for the Emperor to emerge before he can be rescued. Meanwhile, the four top families would have already resolved their troubles, with no need to worry about being held accountable.

Besides this piece of intel, He Family provided exceedingly detailed information about the taboos and benefits within the Emperor’s Treasure Vault.

"The Twisted Time-Space Corridor is rumored to be the area where the Emperor drilled the cultivation of the Broken Void Skill. Due to the Emperor’s immersion in researching space-time, the twisted space-time became difficult to restore, ultimately forming this corridor, resembling the Twisted Land within the Sky, but potentially comparable to the deep state of the Twisted Land, where not only space is distorted, but time and the mental world are also warped.

Once trapped within, it’s possible a breath would see a hundred years pass, aging to death, or time could reverse to a state of infancy. Even if one survives, the mind may twist into a monster, leading to spiritual collapse and an ominous late age... this place is terrifying... but the Emperor is even more frightening..."

"Apart from the Twisted Time-Space Corridor, the Emperor’s Treasure Vault also contains the Fallen Land and the Human Emperor Tower, these two forbidden areas. The Fallen Land appears to be directly connected to the taboo area of the Sky. Is it that resolving the risks of the taboo within the Sky would allow Old Zhu to be summoned directly from the Sky to the Fallen Land, thereby gaining entry into the Emperor’s Treasure Vault?"

Jiang Dali thought with some sarcasm, but internally knew it was impossible.

The taboo area within the Sky is completely dominated by the Fallen Heaven’s Will, or it is the incredibly distorted space-time environment deep within the Twisted Land, perhaps indistinguishable from the Twisted Time-Space Corridor. Even with his current strength, he doesn’t dare set foot there.

"The Human Emperor Tower is where the Emperor secluded himself, filled with the Emperor’s grand aura. Upon entering, one will face the pressure of the Emperor’s Qi Mechanism, but simultaneously, the Human Emperor Tower is also the greatest opportunity within the treasure vault...

The Human Emperor Tower consists of nine floors, the Emperor resides on the ninth floor at the highest level, his aura imposing like a prison. Each lower floor contains the fortune and transformation left behind by the Emperor. In the past, the Wan Family obtained the top-tier secret technique Great Sun Bodhisattva Heart Transformation Scripture within the tower, and the Emperor’s Sword Qi that Dugu Qiubai refined was also acquired there."

Jiang Dali perused the decrypted text, his eyes reflecting contemplation.

According to the intelligence from the He Family, the opportunities contained on each floor within the Human Emperor Tower are extraordinary, though the higher the floor, the more precious the chance.

Yet similarly, these opportunities are enveloped and suppressed by the terrifying aura of the Emperor. To obtain these fortunes, one must challenge the Emperor’s Dragon Power.

Over the years, many experts within the Holy Dynasty have either been injured or died in the Human Emperor Tower.

Over four hundred years ago, the Emperor built this tower within the treasure vault, seemingly to hone and test the future talents of the Holy Dynasty, though hasn’t explained the purpose.

Since Dugu Qiubai boldly ventured into the tower years ago and gained an Emperor’s Sword Qi from the seventh floor of the Human Emperor Tower, greatly enhancing his strength, the top families were shocked to find that the Regent King didn’t severely punish Dugu Qiubai’s offensive act, instead elevating him, thus understanding the function of the Emperor Tower.

Consequently, top-tier experts from the leading families have rushed to the tower over the centuries.

Those who gained opportunities strengthened their family’s power, while those who died within the Human Emperor Tower returned to dust and soil. The Emperor treated every tower challenger equally, those who succeed live, those who fail die.

Seeing this, Jiang Dali felt a bit peculiar, "Is the Human Emperor Tower truly just a tower testing and granting opportunities to later generations?

If so, the entry threshold is incredibly high, those who can withstand the Emperor’s aura within need to be experts in the Returning to Truth Realm at the very least.

Such experts, even if not from the top families, almost bear the mark of the top families. Otherwise, lacking the Secret Key to the Emperor’s Treasure Vault, how could they enter the vault?

The Emperor’s Great Vow does not lie within the Holy Dynasty but rather the entire world, why would he focus on cultivating members of the top families exclusively?

Moreover... the core objective of the Holy Dynasty in hosting the successive Hundred Heroes Conferences is to absorb outstanding talents from various vassal states and allow these talents to attempt to learn the Emperor’s Divine Fist, embracing the core inheritance of the Emperor, this being the most critical purpose...

Regrettably, over these many years, apart from the Regent King understanding half of the Emperor’s Divine Fist, no one else in the world has been able to grasp even twenty percent of the Emperor’s Divine Fist, thus the Emperor’s core inheritance has nearly been forgotten, resembling mere decoration."
