Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou-Chapter 247 - 245: Emperor’s Artifact? Little Brother, Refine It

"Young masters, please wait a moment, I will notify the commander immediately,"

the Forbidden Land Guard said with a slight tone of respect after returning the Token to Chu Xin.

If these younglings’ identities were really as they speculated, they couldn’t afford to offend them.

"Okay, uncle, please hurry up."

Chu Xin, holding the Token, spoke with an innocent face.

"Okay!"

The Forbidden Land Guard nodded and then turned to leave, leaving only one guard at the entrance of the Forbidden Land.

Chu Xin winked at Chu Chen, then stepped forward and asked innocently and curiously, "Uncle, they say the Forbidden Land is the foundation of our Thunder Sect. Why is that? Can you tell me about it?"

"Of course."

The Forbidden Land Guard nodded and smilingly said, "This Forbidden Land contains a Thunder Tree Forest, which has three thousand Thunder Trees planted by the founder of our sect in Ancient Times. The trees bear fruit every thirty years, each tree yielding three thousand fruits. These Thunder Fruits contain pure Thunder Element energy, which can assist the disciples of the Thunder Sect in cultivating the Thunder Technique and comprehending the Thunder Dao."

While the Forbidden Land Guard was earnestly explaining the origins of the Thunder Sect Forbidden Land, Chu Chen quietly took a bunch from the Sumeru Ring, tossing out multiple Holy Level Illusion Array Stones.

Chu Xin glanced at them, then quickly looked away and asked again, "Each tree yields three thousand Thunder Fruits, so how many would that be from three thousand trees, and over so many years as well?"

"A lot!"

The Forbidden Land Guard replied with a slight smile, "Next to the Thunder Tree Forest in the Forbidden Land, there is a Thunder Fruit Hall, which was a space Emperor Artifact crafted by a Divine Level Artifact Refiner at the behest of our sect’s founding ancestor in Ancient Times, specifically meant for storing Thunder Fruits."

"A space Emperor Artifact?"

At this remark, Chu Xin’s round eyes immediately lit up.

All along the journey, they had emptied out many treasures but had never stolen an Emperor Artifact yet.

This Thunder Fruit Hall, it must be moved.

She thought for a moment, then asked again, "So, there must be many, many Thunder Fruits in the Thunder Fruit Hall, right?"

The Forbidden Land Guard shook his head and said, "I don’t know, I’ve never been inside. One needs the Thunder Fruit Hall guard’s Token to enter that place, and we guards of the Forbidden Land cannot enter."

"I see."

Realizing this, Chu Xin’s delicate face showed a meaningful smile.

At this moment, Chu Chen approached Chu Xin and gently pulled on her clothes. Chu Xin understood that the Illusion Array was already activated.

Chu Xin nodded slightly, and together with Chu Chen, they approached the entrance of the Forbidden Land, quietly waiting.

This entrance must have prohibitions placed on it, and such prohibitions were likely of the Martial Emperor level, which they could not break by themselves, so they had to wait for the entrance’s prohibitions to open on their own.

However, in the eyes of the Forbidden Land Guard, the two younglings were still obediently standing in front of him, continuing to ask various questions.

Before long, there was an energy fluctuation at the entrance of the Forbidden Land, forming a circular passage, and two figures walked out from it.

The leader of the figures, burly and with a square face, emanated firm authority and emitted a strong suppression. He was likely the commander of the Forbidden Land Guards.

The commander of the Forbidden Land Guards was also a Peak Martial Saint; unfortunately, the moment he emerged, he entered into the Illusion Array and did not realize that the real younglings had already slipped through before the passage closed.

"Wow! What a beautiful Thunder Tree Forest."

Upon entering the Forbidden Land, they were greeted by an entire forest of trees that looked ordinary, yet were enveloped with lightning of various colors.

The colors were more varied than those of Five Thunder Mountain’s lightning, but the suppression they emitted was not as strong as that of Five Thunder Mountain.

Every tree was filled with thumb-sized fruits, clearly not yet ripe.

Next to the Thunder Tree Forest, a magnificent hall stood. They did not recognize the three characters, but it must be the Thunder Fruit Hall that the Forbidden Land Guard had mentioned.

Outside the Thunder Fruit Hall, seven or eight guards at the early stage of Martial Saint were standing. Sensing the commotion, they all looked over. When they saw the two little toddlers, they were stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly, "Who’s there?"

Chu Chen waved his chubby little hand, and a bunch of Holy Level Illusion Array Stones were thrown out. With a gesture of his hand, the illusion array was activated instantly.

In the guards’ eyes, the two little toddlers launched an attack with the treasures, intending to rush into the Thunder Fruit Hall. The guards roared angrily and charged at them.

However, in reality, Chu Xin and Chu Chen hadn’t moved at all; instead, taking advantage of the guards’ disorderly attacks, they knocked out a guard, took his token, and sneaked into the Thunder Fruit Hall.

The Thunder Fruit Hall was an Emperor’s Artifact with space capabilities and could accommodate living beings. The interior was not particularly impressive but divided into small spaces, each storing heaps of Thunder Fruits surrounded by lightning.

"So many Thunder Fruits; I’ll try some to see if they’re tasty."

Chu Xin swallowed twice, pounced forward, grabbed two Thunder Fruits, and took a bite from each, eating greedily.

"Hmm! The taste is slightly inferior to the Five Thunder Fruits, but it’s still very delicious," she said.

Chu Xin evaluated while eating, her delicate little face filled with intense happiness and satisfaction.

Chu Chen also grabbed two Thunder Fruits and took a few bites, nodding his little head in agreement, and said, "And there’s a lot of them, enough to eat our fill."

"Hmm, hmm!"

Chu Xin nodded her little head repeatedly.

Earlier, to avoid giving themselves away prematurely, she had been suppressing her naturally gluttonous nature. Now, she could finally indulge without restraint, and she was ecstatic.

"Sister, let’s gather the Thunder Fruits first. After that, we still have to dig up some Thunder Trees."

Chu Chen said while eating and started gathering Thunder Fruits using the Sumeru Ring. This Sumeru Ring wasn’t the one given by their dad, but a treasure they had acquired from Cangzhou Holy Land. Their dad’s Sumeru Ring was worn on his own body.

Chu Xin waved her snow-white little hand and said unclearly, "No need for that hassle. This Thunder Fruit Hall is an Emperor’s Artifact and probably hasn’t been refined by anyone yet. Try refining it with your Divine Rune."

"Sister, how do you know no one has refined it?" he asked, puzzled.

Chu Xin turned and glared at him; if her hands weren’t full of Thunder Fruits, she would have slapped him again. Annoyed, she explained, "Dad said that each cultivator can only have one Lifebound Emperor Artifact. It’s not possible to refine a second. As long as it’s not a Lifebound Emperor Artifact, anyone who has it can wield it. In State Sea, those four Martial Emperors from Thunder State all used Emperor Artifacts, so this definitely isn’t theirs. Moreover, this Thunder Fruit Hall is for storing Thunder Fruits and wouldn’t be refined by those Martial Saint Elders. Understood?"

"Got it, sister, you’re really smart."

Chu Chen looked at Chu Xin with admiration, then curiously asked, "Can I refine it then?"

Chu Xin shook her head and said, "I don’t know about that. We both have our own Lifebound Emperor Artifacts. But this is a Battle Body; I don’t know if it can be refined, so you should try."

"Okay," he agreed.

Chu Chen nodded and then sat down cross-legged, as the potent power of the Divine Rune flowed from his body into the Thunder Fruit Hall.

Zhong!

The Thunder Fruit Hall suddenly trembled under the influence of the Divine Rune Power.

Chu Chen opened his eyes, a bit puzzled, and asked, "Sister, why do I feel like the Thunder Fruit Hall is quite excited, as if it really likes my Divine Rune Power?"

"That means it can be refined. Hurry up, don’t dawdle," urged Chu Xin.

"Okay, sister."

Chu Chen obediently nodded and closed his eyes to continue.
