The number one rebel of the Great Wu

The Grand Treasury was Emperor Xiao Jingtian's private treasury.

Bringing Chen Changgeng to his private vault could be considered a reward from Xiao Jingtian.

The main storehouse was located not far behind the main hall of the palace, heavily guarded, and surrounded by several-meter-thick bluestone walls.

After passing through a narrow passage, I came to see a huge passage that led straight down.

It was an octagonal vertical shaft that had been dug out by hand.

It has a total height of about 12 floors, with each floor being about three meters high.

Each floor has an octagonal corridor platform, where the emperor's personal guards patrol.

To get down to the warehouse, one must take an elevator through a twelve-story vertical shaft that is constantly guarded.

Such defense is simply terrifying.

Moreover, from the moment he entered, Chen Changgeng discovered that this place was made of incredibly hard bluestone, cut into large blocks and piled up.

The difficulty of that project was no less than that of the Egyptian pyramids.

Moreover, each piece is as big as a room, and even the vertical shaft and the room below are made of these blue stone blocks.

Chen Changgeng did not know how thick these bluestone strips were, but he was certain that he could not penetrate them to find out any information inside.

This thing is as secure as the highest-security vault in modern times.

Chen Changgeng estimated that even a master of the first rank would have to put in a lot of effort to get in.

With a soft rumble, Xiao Jingtian led Chen Changgeng to the very bottom.

Xiao Jingtian spun around in place and pointed in four directions.

"These four rooms are filled with gold and silver treasures, weapons and equipment, elixirs, and martial arts techniques."

"The things inside are all treasures accumulated by generations of emperors of my Great Wu Kingdom."

"Take just a little something from here, and you can become richer than a country, or create an unparalleled master."

"But you only have one choice."

What do you choose?

Xiao Jingtian looked at Chen Changgeng with a smile.

Before coming here, Chen Changgeng had already decided that he wanted to obtain the Great Rejuvenation Pill.

But after hearing Xiao Jingtian's introduction, I suddenly felt a little itchy to try it.

Gold and silver treasures can be squandered.

Weapons and equipment can be stolen.

The pills are gone once you take them.

Only martial arts techniques are truly practical.

If I were invincible, which of the three things mentioned above wouldn't I be able to obtain?

"I choose martial arts!"

Chen Changgeng turned his head and pointed to the door on the right.

Xiao Jingtian smiled.

"The Gangyang Technique within your body is already unparalleled in the world."

"By all accounts, it's one of the top three most powerful internal energy techniques in the world, and you still chose it?"

Xiao Jingtian revealed a slightly amused expression.

"Although Gangyang Gong is powerful, it is still an internal skill. My moves are still far inferior."

"That day, when I saw the Ancestor's Limitless Sword Intent, I was utterly astonished."

"I was thinking of getting some swords, spears, and halberds to play with."

Gangyang Gong is indeed primarily based on internal energy cultivation. Although it does include some usable moves, these are forcibly tied to Gangyang Gong, meaning it lacks versatility and is not cost-effective.

There's still a gap between this and the techniques used with specially researched weapons.

"The internal energy and true qi of Gangyang Gong are all pure yang, so there aren't many usable moves."

Without hesitation, Xiao Jingtian took out the key, inserted it into the stone door, and gently turned it.

With a series of muffled clicking sounds, the stone door slowly slid open.

Whether you can find it or not depends on your luck.

"After all, I haven't seen everything in here."

When the gate opened, Xiao Jingtian led Chen Changgeng inside first.

The space inside isn't very big, maybe only ten square meters.

Inside the space were three wooden shelves, each with three tiers, neatly displaying various martial arts techniques.

Chen Changgeng walked in, glanced around, and immediately frowned.

Extremely few people can master the two types of internal energy: Pure Yang and Profound Yin.

Therefore, either the corresponding techniques are only found in some secluded sects, or the techniques that have been preserved in the world are not very top-tier.

Chen Changgeng did indeed find three techniques that could be used with pure Yang internal energy.

They are respectively the Fierce Eagle Claw, the Righteous Yang Sword Technique, and the Water and Fire Staff Technique.

Judging from their names, these three techniques were clearly not powerful, so Chen Changgeng naturally had little interest in them.

"What is this?"

When Chen Changgeng turned to the second circle, he discovered a stone box at the bottom.

Other techniques all have signs, and some even have simple descriptions written on the side.

But this stone box was empty.

"Oh, this is an incomplete movement technique."

"I don't know its specific name. It's been here since the time of the late emperor."

"I was also curious and took a look at it a few times, but I couldn't understand the words on it, so I simply discarded it."

Xiao Jingtian bent down, picked up the stone box, and opened it.

Inside was a thin booklet, the cover of which was intact, but half of the back had been torn off.

Chen Changgeng took it out, dusted it off, and his eyes widened instantly.

He saw several familiar characters written on the cover.

A Detailed Explanation of Motorized Infantry Drills!

Chen Changgeng thought he was hallucinating, so he quickly rubbed his eyes.

What the hell is this?!

The characters used in the Great Wu Kingdom are different from the Chinese characters used in Chen Changgeng's previous life.

He was able to understand the characters of the Great Wu Kingdom only after he transmigrated, based on his predecessor's memories.

Compared to simplified Chinese characters, the script of the Great Wu Kingdom is more like seal script.

"Could this thing... be a movement technique?"

Chen Changgeng's eyes widened, a flood of questions welling up inside him.

Could there be other time travelers in this world?

After all, who else but someone from their own world could write this kind of language?

This motorized infantryman... could he be a time-traveling elite soldier or a former soldier king?

"I see some drawings on it, which seem to be the necessary steps to master this technique."

"It should be a movement technique."

It turns out that Xiao Jingtian was also guessing.

Chen Changgeng stared wide-eyed, stunned for a long while, before finally turning to the first page.

Indeed, what's written above are some military training methods.

What does this have to do with cultivation techniques?

Chen Changgeng was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that Chen Changgeng was so engrossed in watching, Xiao Jingtian immediately asked a question.

"You... can read this text?"

Chen Changgeng was startled and quickly denied it outright.

"I'm also studying the pictures on this, but perhaps I'm just slow-witted."

"To my utmost opinion, this doesn't seem like a movement technique!"

As Chen Changgeng answered, he sped up the flipping through the pages.

To my surprise, when I turned to the last page, the illustration suddenly disappeared, and a line of crooked little text appeared.

"If you've made it this far, then congratulations, brother, this opportunity is yours!"

"If you can read the text here, it means you're from the same place as me."

"You have such patience and composure! The martial arts technique I've studied for so many years can't go wrong if I pass it on to you!"

Chen Changgeng suddenly looked up.

"Your Majesty, this is the one I want!"
