Conceptual melting pot, the fusion of all realms starting from the Qin Dynasty.

This discovery thrilled Xie Bo. After years of research, he finally created a method to inject primordial essence into a crystal sphere. At that time, he was not far from his death, so before his death, he poured all his primordial essence into the sphere and instructed his next generation to find a way to extract the primordial essence from the sphere.

From then on, the crystal sphere was named "Holy Emperor's Relic".

A glint of light flashed in Chen Hao's golden eyes as he said to Wanwan, "Now that you've brought it up, I've become interested in the Evil Emperor's Relic."

Chapter 160 The Little Witch Wanwan, and Her Journey to Chang'an City

"Right! Right!"

Wanwan's excited expression said, "Although the location of Yang Gong's treasure vault is hidden, it shouldn't be difficult for you, Chen Hao, to find it."

"At that time, we will sneak into Yang Gong's treasure vault and quietly take away all the gold, jewelry, weapons, and the Evil Emperor's relic, leaving an empty vault for those who come after us to search for treasure."

"Hehe!" Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she said slyly, "When someone goes through all sorts of hardships to find Yang Gong's treasure vault, only to find it empty, I wonder what kind of expression he will have?"

"Just thinking about it is so interesting!"

Wanwan's current chaotic and mischievous demeanor is more like that of a little witch.

However, in Chen Hao's opinion, Wanwan looks even cuter now.

Chen Hao smiled and said, "Yang Gong's treasure vault is located under Yuema Bridge in Chang'an City. If Wanwan wants to see it, I can take you there now."

"In Chang'an City?" Wanwan's eyes darted around, and she immediately jumped off the chair, twirled barefoot to Chen Hao's side, and pulled him to walk outside: "Then let's go there now."

"Wanwan!" Danmei quickly spoke up to stop her, "It's getting late, let's go tomorrow!"

"Moreover, since the Yang family's treasure vault is located in Chang'an, retrieving its treasures would inevitably alarm the nobles and officials in Chang'an."

"We must plan carefully to avoid losing more than we gain!"

After Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, established the Sui Dynasty, he initially set the capital at Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty. However, Chang'an at that time was dilapidated and small, and the water was seriously polluted. Therefore, he decided to build a new city on the southern slope of Longshouyuan in the southeast.

This city later became the capital of the Sui Dynasty, known as Daxing City.

However, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, the capital of the Sui Dynasty had already been moved to Luoyang.

As for the name Chang'an, it was originally supposed to be changed after the Tang Dynasty was established and continued to make Chang'an its capital.

As for why the name Chang'an City already exists now?

Chen Hao could only say that parallel worlds are possible, so it's best not to take it too seriously.

"Don't worry, Aunt Mei!" Wanwan smiled mysteriously. "With Chen Hao here, I guarantee that no one will discover our whereabouts. We will definitely be able to secretly move the treasures in Yang Gong's treasury."

"..." Danmei was speechless.

After spending these days together, Danmei knew that Chen Hao was very mysterious, but no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't imagine how Chen Hao could silently transfer the Yang Gong Treasure Vault under the watchful eyes of many forces in Chang'an City.

At this moment, Chen Hao stood up and asked Yan Fei and Jing Ni:

"Yanfei, Jingni, would you like to visit Yang Gong's treasure vault?"

Yan Fei and Jing Ni exchanged a glance, then both shook their heads.

"You and Wanwan go together! We two won't go and join the fun."

Yan Fei and Jing Ni were not interested in the so-called treasure, and they did not believe that a treasure vault could threaten Chen Hao, so they naturally did not want to go with him.

"also!"

Chen Hao nodded indifferently, not paying much attention.

He then took out two translated copies of "The Longevity Manual" from his spatial ring and handed them to Yan Fei and Jing Ni, saying, "I've finished translating the Longevity Manual. It'll be perfect for you two to pass the time."

"The Longevity Manual explains the principle of the unity of heaven and man very comprehensively. Although you may not necessarily have to practice it, it is still a good reference."

"I think this should be of some use to you!"

"Oh?! So fast?" Yan Fei exclaimed in surprise. "I was originally prepared to have an elder from the Yin Yang School who was an expert in oracle bone script translate it if you couldn't, Chen Hao."

Although Yanfei had little contact with oracle bone script, given the Yin-Yang School's resources, she would naturally cultivate several guest elders who were skilled in ancient scripts.

"Of course! Yanfei, don't you even know who I am?"

Chen Hao smiled smugly at Yan Fei.

At this moment, Jing Ni took the "Longevity Manual" from Chen Hao's hand, her cold eyes fixed on him, and her red lips parted slightly: "Go and come back soon! Don't linger on the road for too long."

Looking at Jing Ni, who was concerned about him, Chen Hao smiled gently: "Wanwan and I will be back in two hours at most."

Then Chen Hao superimposed the entrance to the cave heaven with the entrance to Chang'an City, and then he led Wanwan's soft hand inside.

...

In the blink of an eye, Chen Hao and Wanwan had entered Chang'an City.

Buzz~!

Watching the golden ripples gradually disappear, Wanwan couldn't help but exclaim, "What a convenient ability!"

"If those powerful forces knew that grotto-heavens could be used in this way, they would definitely go to great lengths to obtain one."

·· ······Requesting flowers···· ···

Among these ancient dynasties, a major factor that limited the speed of a power's development and its rule was precisely the distance between two places and the time spent traveling, which many people take for granted.

When the empire’s political center sends out a decree, it often takes more than a month for it to reach the border; and if it is a military campaign, it takes even longer for the army to travel from the capital to the border.

Therefore, the empire's control over its borders is often not as strong as people think.

In almost every dynasty, the greatest hidden danger to the empire was precisely the control over its own border troops.

There's also a saying: "The emperor is far away and the heavens are high!"

The further away a place is from the political center of the empire, the weaker the emperor's control over that place.

0.....0

Also!

The development of an empire's economy is also constrained by the distances and connections between various regions.

Therefore, if an empire could possess a grotto-heaven similar to Chen Hao's, it would provide unparalleled assistance to the empire's military, political, and economic control and development.

"Don't overthink it!"

Looking at the night sky, which was only faintly illuminated by starlight and moonlight due to the obscuration of the strange phenomenon, Chen Hao rolled his eyes at Wanwan speechlessly: "Although many blessed lands will inevitably emerge after the world merges and upgrades, the portals connecting these blessed lands to the main plane are often fixed in one place."

"It is completely impossible to find a cave heaven like Luofu Cave, where you can open the portal at will using coordinates."

The Cave Heaven of Luofu was forged by Chen Hao using fragments of a world through the [Concept Furnace]. Its status is almost equivalent to a world, a small world that belongs exclusively to Chen Hao.

The fact that Chen Hao possesses such extraordinary abilities can only be attributed to his good fortune.

"Oh, I see...!!!"

Wanwan looked enlightened and playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Alright! Let's hurry to Yuema Bridge and not waste time here."

After quickly determining the direction, Chen Hao grabbed Wanwan and used his lightness skill to rush towards the Yue Ma Bridge in Chang'an City, as if riding the wind.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chapter 161 The Treasure Hunt with Wanwan

Following the Yong'an Canal of Chang'an City, Chen Hao and Wanwan soon arrived at the Yuema Bridge.

Yong'an Canal was built in the third year of the Kaihuang era of the Sui Dynasty. Because the canal water was drawn from Jiaoshui, it was also called Jiao Canal.

The Yong'an Canal enters the city from the southwest and runs through the entire city from south to north, serving as the main water supply channel for the western part of Chang'an City.

The Yuema Bridge is a magnificent stone bridge located on the Yong'an Canal, connecting the two banks. It is a spectacular sight in Chang'an City and is quite famous.

However, those who cross the Yuema Bridge every day would never imagine that the famous Yang Gong Treasure Trove is right under their feet.

Wanwan looked around at the deserted and silent Chang'an City and sighed helplessly, "At this time of year, Chang'an City should have been at its most bustling!"

"This situation will soon be over."

Although Chen Hao understood that this was only the beginning, he still comforted Wanwan in the same way.

"I hope so!" Wanwan didn't continue on this matter, but instead asked Chen Hao, "Chen Hao, how are you going to get into Yang Gong's Treasure Vault? From the bottom of the river under the Yue Ma Bridge?"

“No!” Chen Hao glanced at the patrolling guards in the distance and shook his head. “The entrance to Yang Gong’s treasure vault is indeed under Yue Ma Bridge, but the noise when it is opened is too loud and will easily attract the patrolling soldiers in the distance.”

"So let me teleport you directly into the treasure vault."

Chen Hao grabbed Wanwan's right hand, and the Candle Dragon Eye directly locked onto the coordinates inside Yang Gong's Treasure Vault, reminding her, "Yang Gong's Treasure Vault has been sealed for who knows how long, and it must be filled with all kinds of miasma and swamp gas. Once inside, Wanwan, be careful to hold your breath."

"Ok!"

Wanwan nodded.

After sensing that Wanwan was ready, Chen Hao took her and disappeared from the spot.
