In a deep, silent burial chamber within the core region of the Watcher's Cemetery,
During this period, no top players from Citytoppling Smile had shown themselves. Shi Feng had also received the latest update from Water Color Rose — Citytoppling Smile had withdrawn from the contest over the Watcher's Cemetery and dispersed to several level-20 leveling maps with fewer resources. Moreover, no elite squads had ambushed guild members. They had suddenly gone quiet.
Only then did Shi Feng venture deeper into the core region of the Watcher's Cemetery.
The burial chamber he was currently in was no ordinary tomb. It was the resting place of royalty — a King's Tomb.
However, finding this place was no easy task. To prevent tomb robbers from stealing the burial goods within, it had been constructed in a highly secretive manner, hidden inside a sheer cliff face. After construction was completed, all original access roads were destroyed. On top of that, after several hundred years, the cliff had become overgrown with vines, making it extremely difficult to discover the cave entrance within.
In his previous life, a rather skilled assassin had stumbled upon this place by chance. A powerful large-scale team then infiltrated it and plundered the treasures within the King's Tomb. Afterward, they sold them off for over a thousand gold, making everyone envious. However, by the standards of the Divine Realm at that time, the assassin had actually sold them too cheaply.
Why do I say he sold them too cheaply?
While the items he sold weren't worth a single copper to any solo player, they were absolute treasures to any guild.
Forget a thousand gold — even two thousand, or even three thousand gold, the major guilds would have bought them.
That item was the Guild Base Promotion Decree.
After any guild obtained a headquarters, it started as a one-star base. To upgrade to a two-star base, two things were needed. First, the guild's reputation had to meet the required threshold. Second, a Two-Star Guild Base Promotion Decree.
Once the guild base was promoted to two-star, the guild hall could construct things that were impossible at a one-star base. The most direct benefit was the headquarters' private rooms.
A one-star base could only build one-star private rooms. Resting in a one-star room for 24 hours allowed a player to accumulate 20% bonus experience, while a two-star base could build two-star private rooms that stored 25% bonus experience over 24 hours.
In addition, a two-star base allowed construction of a Blacksmith Workshop, where equipment repairs cost ninety percent of the price outside. While a ten percent discount might seem insignificant, repair fees were never a small sum, and saving even ten percent could add up to quite a bit of money.
Right now, the
The King's Tomb was fraught with dangers, with mechanical traps everywhere. However, these traps meant nothing to Shi Feng.
He shattered them all with a single sword strike.
"This should be the place," Shi Feng muttered, looking at the tightly shut white jade and gold-thread coffin within the magnificent stone chamber. He licked his lips and walked toward it.
When Shi Feng was still twenty yards from the stone coffin, it suddenly burst open. Billowing black smoke poured from within, and a young man emerged — clad in golden armor, draped in a pristine white cloak, wearing a golden crown upon his head, radiating an unmistakable aura of kingship. The sheer pressure emanating from him made one's heart tremble and instinctively bow in submission.
However, the young man's entire body was semi-transparent, ethereal and insubstantial — not a physical form at all. He was a specter, or more precisely, a Ghost King.
"As expected of a king. Even in death, he still possesses such overwhelming presence. If he were still alive, I probably wouldn't even be able to flee." Shi Feng activated his Eye of Omniscience to observe the Ghost King.
