I Have A Martial Dao World

```

The body of the creature was quite resistant to burning, like coal, and turned into black ash after burning.

Upon seeing the battle was over, the three girls emerged from the tank.

Everyone made a beeline for the most conspicuous pipa.

The pipa shone with radiant colors and seemed to be made of fine jade. Both sides were adorned with patterns depicting misty mountains and rivers, with sublime palaces hidden within, exuding a celestial aura.

"Is this a magic artifact?"

"Mmm, it's clear it's no ordinary object."

"My lord, you must collect it quickly"

The girls urged him on, but when Lu Yao reached out, he grasped at nothing. The pipa had form but no substance as if it were merely a vivid illusion!?

Witnessing this, the three girls exchanged looks of delight.

Liao Qe shouted ecstatically, "This isn't a magic artifact! It's a 'magical treasure'! I've read it in the storybooks—'magical treasures' are intangible!"

Liao Ya was also extremely exhilarated, "Right, Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel could change size and even be stored inside his ear!"

Li Pei took a deep breath to calm herself, suppressing her excitement as she spoke tremblingly, "So, it's a magical treasure, no wonder it has survived for 2000 years."

She further explained to Lu Yao, "My lord, a magic artifact is crafted from ordinary materials into a Spirit Refinement object, while a magical treasure is a supreme relic crafted by immortals who have transcended the Heavenly Tribulation—they're incomparable!"

"Now that the owner of the pipa has perished, the imprint has vanished. You must use the power of your mind to subdue it!"

Lu Yao immediately closed his eyes, concentrated, and submerged his Mind Force into it. The pipa drank it in like a giant whale gulping water, insatiable.

Fortunately, if Lu Yao lacked anything, it certainly wasn't Mind Force, generously given by the selfless Comrade Xiao. He had it in abundance!

The continuous flow of Mind Force surged forth, and the color of the pipa began to brighten. Then it started to tremble gently.

The next second, the pipa suddenly transformed into countless points of light, entering Lu Yao's head through his facial features!

He was momentarily stunned... This scene felt familiar.

Li Pei laughed, "It's done! I've read in the royal archives—magical treasures are intangible and made manifest by a special form of Mind Force. The process of subjugation looks just like this."

At that moment, Lu Yao was incredibly shocked! The scene of subjugating the pipa was all too familiar to him—

Back in the hospital, the Star Key had entered his mind... or rather his divine soul, in the same manner!

Now, his divine soul housed another pipa alongside the Star Key, both serenely floating there, as if time stood still…

[Could it be… the Star Key is also a magical treasure?]

"Lu Yao~" "My lord~"

While he was engrossed in thought, the three girls called out to him repeatedly.

Lu Yao snapped back to reality, putting aside his doubts for the moment, and said with a smile, "Come, take a look. This magical treasure is quite interesting."

With a thought and a beckoning gesture, a pipa the size of a matchstick flew out of his nostril, grew to its original size in the blink of an eye when it met the wind.

Having been subdued, the pipa now had a physical form, its material jade-like but not jade, and it felt very comfortable to the touch.

The curious girls played with it for a while before asking Lu Yao to try out its power.

Lu Yao happily agreed.

He aimed at a white marble column and gently plucked a string. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire

An invisible blade shot out, "zing" and cut a one-foot-long, three-finger-deep notch into the column.

Next, Lu Yao mimicked Lu Sheng, with a fierce gesture he strummed all the strings.

An even broader invisible blade shot out, splitting a column as thick as a man's waist into two like a sausage! And there was more, the blade kept going forward and destroyed a tottering palace completely. A loud "boom" echoed as the building collapsed, kicking up dust.

With the excessive use of his Mind Force, Lu Yao, rubbing his forehead, said, "The consumption is too great, I can barely activate it, its power is far beyond this…"

Li Pei helped massage his temples to soothe him, smiling she said, "Add the Tathagata Palm to that, you now have two aces up your sleeve, both capable of killing someone in the Innate Realm in a direct fight!"

"That's true." Lu Yao nodded, satisfied.

He would no longer fear facing someone from the Innate Realm head-on~

Next, the group checked the bronze cauldron.

While they were dealing with the pipa, the cauldron had already lost most of its heat and was only about 300 degrees now.

The Blood-Exchange Mirror wouldn't be affected by such a temperature, so Lu Yao propped up the cauldron and immediately saw the trinket "with an eye in the middle of a triangle."

His eyes narrowed, he hastily put it away and said, "I'll keep this separately."

The trinket was identical to the Star Key! It was quiet for now.

Although the girls were curious, they didn't say much, and everyone turned their attention to the cauldron.

It looked like a bronze cauldron, felt like one, and upon probing with Mind Force, it was confirmed—this was just an ordinary bronze cauldron.

Li Pei looked at the inscriptions on the cauldron and said:

"It's small seal script, which I'm not familiar with, but the last sentence is too famous—'Given the mandate from heaven, may my reign last forever.'"

She pondered while pinching her fair and smooth chin:

"In the Qin Dynasty, cauldrons were regarded as important national treasures, symbols of power. This bronze cauldron contains The First Emperor of Qin's decree, given to Lu Sheng.

Not only does the cauldron represent the decree, but it can also serve as a command arrow or a military talisman, mobilizing the nation's power. That's why Lu Sheng, even as a monster, instinctively cared so much about it.

The First Emperor of Qin once ordered countless cultivators to concoct immortality medicines, and the decree Lu Sheng received must have been of that nature. But something must have gone wrong..."

The girl explained eloquently, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Liao Ya speculated, "It must be related to the Pantheism Church. The Holy Emblem was in the cauldron, and Hong Renkun's book is full of this symbol, turning into the same kind of monster."

Liao Qe asked, "Then... what did Lu Sheng mean by 'Xu Fu' at the end?"

Li Pei shrugged and said, "A grudge from over 2,000 years ago, it's no longer important, it should have faded in the river of time long ago."

By now, the bronze cauldron, after more than 2,000 years and scorched by a great fire once again, had cooled down and become exceptionally brittle, crumbling at the slightest touch.

Lu Yao said, "Let's take pictures of the inscriptions on it and get them translated."

Operational drone came down to take pictures, Liao Qe also mentioned, "I've taken lots of photos of the ruins, all with inscriptions. Translating them should reveal more information."

Lu Yao patted the girl's head in thanks.

Just then, the entire underground ruin started to shake violently, and boulders the size of a bed began to fall from above!

After all, this was an underground structure from 2,000 years ago, and the group had used explosives and guns extensively.

Especially since the tank had fired deafening 50-caliber rounds, and two monsters, each weighing over 150 tons, had chased each other around for hours.

Such upheaval, a collapse was only to be expected.

In the midst of the earth-shattering shaking, the family hurried back to the tank, which was again driven by Li Pei along the original path.

Just as they reached the hole blasted by the Izumo People, the tank ran out of fuel!

The kite creature had consumed a lot, the full tank of fuel was now depleted, and there was no way to climb the next steep section.

Everyone rushed out of the tank, scrambling to escape upward to the surface.

Lu Yao took one last look back at the pitiful sight of the tank.

The tank was nearly wrecked.

It was sliced by the pipa's musical blades, beaten by monsters, resembling a cutting board used for 10 years, its body covered in crisscrossing scars and dents, and some of its thinner armor almost pierced through. Even the main cannon and machine gun had been damaged.

~~~~~~~~~

Not long after the group reached the surface, a massive sinkhole occurred, burying the entire relic under millions of tons of soil and rocks.

At this moment, three Spiritual Sparrowhawks landed to meet them.

Lu Yao massaged the Spiritual Sparrowhawks and fed them a large handful of Wisdom Spirit Pills.

The family changed into flying suits and set off for home.

The Spiritual Sparrowhawks pulled everyone higher and higher, and the world beneath them grew smaller and smaller.

This was a remote mountainous region devoid of human presence. The extensive traces left by the excavation of the Izumo People would be engulfed by the forces of nature in a matter of days.
