Emperor’s Domination

he missed this chance, he might never be able to solve its mystery.

“Lil’ Jin, take out the thing beneath my bed.” He didn’t waste time and made a decision right away.

Someone in the room acknowledged the command.
A while later, a youth brought out a wooden box.

The box seemed to be carved from a single piece of wood.
There were no traces of assembly.
It didn’t have a lock, only a seal.

The seal wasn’t activated but an immense force still assaulted whoever was close by.
The man picked it up and used a merit law to deactivate the seal then took out the item.

It emitted a refreshing air, akin to one finding shade and breezes during a hot summer.
It had a faint yellow color and resembled a piece of amber the size of a basin.

The thing inside this amber was nothing shocking – just a piece of tree root.
It was golden and as thick as a thumb.
There were a few tiny roots branching from it.
The thing looked like golden ginseng.

The man presented it to Li Qiye with both hands and said: “I cannot identify this item but I’m sure it is special.
I found it buried deep in an ancient land.
That area was freed from impurities.
It also had incredible visual phenomena when I took it out including a diagram depicting the myriad ages.” 

He paused for a bit before continuing: “It has been in my possession for a while but I still can’t figure it out.”

Back then, he was shocked by the visual phenomena when he excavated it.
If it wasn’t for this personal experience, he wouldn’t have been able to confirm its precious value and keep it until now.

He spent his spare time looking at it but it didn’t exude anything special afterward.
Li Qiye’s arrival today was a decent opportunity.

Li Qiye gently rubbed the piece of amber.
It was cool like jade but far harder and heavier.
Amber shouldn’t have been heavy but this had more weight than refined metal.

“Do you notice anything?” The uncle could see that the rubbing was intentional.

Li Qiye glanced at him once before focusing on the amber again.
His hand lit up with a gentle light and chaos energy.

This energy began melting the amber, allowing him to reach the root inside.

“Buzz.” Once he made contact, the root became resplendent.
The rays coming from it were sacred.
Being shined by it made the group think that they were ascending.

Hallowed Sword exuded something similar to the entire city.
However, the rays here were different.

While being in the rays’ presence, they felt as if a light was being born in their heart.
Their very being was slowly being shifted into this holy affinity – a rather profound process.
