It was after four o'clock in the afternoon, on the second basement level of the base.
"Sister Feng, I have a complete Ancient Divine Artifact here, help me test the values and analyze which civilization era it belongs to."
As Jiang Hou spoke, his hand suddenly felt heavy, and a giant umbrella over ten meters long, with a seven-colored glow emanating from its closed canopy, appeared in his hand. Instantly, the entire underground shook slightly.
In front of the over two-hundred-meter-tall Chaos Demon Ape, this White Jade Colorful Umbrella didn't look big.
But in Feng Qing's eyes, it was like a cone-shaped giant column as tall as a five-story building, and as a weapon of Ancient Divine Artifact level, even in its restrained state, it dispersed an invisible strong oppressive presence.
The surrounding instruments flickered with sparks, and circuits buzzed and smoked under the pressure.
Fearing those devices might get damaged, Feng Qing quickly said, "Minister, place the Ancient Relic on that platform, and please suppress the energy impact when I initiate the Superlight Wave Frequency."
The means of testing Ancient Relics acquired from these ruins by heavenly judgment were simple, using special light waves to forcibly activate the power contained within.
Because these Ancient Relics had not been refined, they lacked exclusive activation hand seals or spells, and triggering them could cause a hostile backlash.
Following Feng Qing's instructions, Jiang Hou placed the White Jade Colorful Umbrella in the center of the pit created by the transformation into a Giant Ape, supported by two giant beams.
Once Jiang Hou returned to the edge of the pit, the indicator lights on the surrounding instruments began to light up one after another, and simultaneously, the barrel resembling a electromagnetic cannon with a diameter of one meter lit up in front.
Buzz! Accompanied by a slight infrasonic vibration, a powerful beam with terrifying oscillating force shot out, instantly landing on the umbrella top.
Boom!
The White Jade Colorful Umbrella vibrated, the umbrella's body emitting white light fiercely unfolded, automatically standing upright and floating in mid-air, with white edges like tassels hanging down, looking extremely elegant.
At this moment, the White Jade Colorful Umbrella's body rotated, rapidly expanding to cover a hundred meters, and the gems embedded in the edges lit up one by one, emitting colorful glow.
At the instant those colorful glows appeared, Feng Qing and Xiong Chao working in the distance instantly felt a terrifying danger.
You could die!
Boom!
Endless black and red Demonic Energy erupted centered on Jiang Hou, transforming into the Hell Domain, enveloping the colorful glow emitted by the White Jade Colorful Umbrella from all directions.
Boom boom boom!! The colorful glow collided with the black-red domain, unleashing a dense, deafening explosion.
In the furious and dazzling explosion of energy light, the colorful glows emitted by the White Jade Colorful Umbrella dissolved, obliterated the Hell Domain layer by layer, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction.
This scene surprised even Jiang Hou.
Just an autonomous counterattack, without the holder's control and boost, reached Tier Seven power; truly a formidable ancient artifact preserved through the ages.
And when this relic 'opened,' countless data streamed down like a waterfall on the laser cannon platform's instrument screen, which continuously emitted beams.
Feng Qing's hands moved swiftly as shadows, bringing up data patterns for comparative analysis among tens of thousands of entries in the database.
When the glowing bombardment lasted for a minute and disappeared, Feng Qing had completed preliminary analysis, and seven tables appeared on the screen.
"Data is here, basic energy intensity 7.1 (each point corresponds to one tier)."
"The glow attributes are fused from seven elements: earth, fire, wind, thunder, yin, yang, and water, corresponding to the recorded ancient information of the Primordial Destruction Divine Light."
"When the ancient artifact unleashed its counterattack, it emitted a high-frequency beam containing its own information. After collecting and analyzing the data, it is identified as [Heaven-Encompassing Immortal Rainbow Umbrella]."
"Minister, this ancient relic is called [Heaven-Encompassing Immortal Rainbow Umbrella] and belongs to the Immortal Demon Era." Saying this, Feng Qing's face immediately showed a look of regret.
"It's actually a magical artifact from the Immortal Demon Era."
Jiang Hou also furrowed his eyebrows, without the joy of obtaining a powerful ancient divine artifact.
The Immortal Demon Era is the most ancient, and the ancient relics excavated are extremely rare. Moreover, no one has awakened the power system of that era, making it quite mysterious.
Among the eight eras, the ancient objects and Ancient Divine Weapons each era excavated can only be activated by the corresponding era's power to exert the strongest might.
Only a few forbidden artifacts and ancient relics only need to be infused with power to use.
Therefore, this seemingly powerful, well-preserved Immortal Magical Artifact, hardly anyone can use it, so it can only be stored as research material for recovery.
Immortal Demon Power... Jiang Hou's eyes slightly shifted.
At this moment, as the colorful glow vanished, the body of the White Jade Colorful Umbrella, which expanded to a hundred meters, quickly contracted into a single meter, along with the umbrella handle.
The white body of the umbrella that shrank to one meter turned dim, like an ordinary ancient white umbrella, without any energy fluctuations.
Snap! Jiang Hou reached out to catch the ancient umbrella falling from mid-air, then flipped his hand to store it in the Storage Space.
"Thank you, Sister Feng."
Feng Qing shook her head politely: "No problem. By the way, Minister, are you going to store this Immortal Magical Artifact for recovery?"
"No need, I intend to research it."
A complete Immortal Demon Era artifact is rare, not to mention that this Heaven-Encompassing Immortal Rainbow Umbrella has basic power comparable to Tier Seven, so Jiang Hou plans to give it to Qin Siyu.
Although Qin Siyu cannot use it yet.
Her awakened powers of Buddha Light Shines All and Beiming Kunchong have only touched the prehistoric power of ancient eras, with no complete Immortal Demon Era inheritance obtained yet.
Including the common ancient relics acquired this time, Jiang Hou also did not return them to the authorities.
These ancient relics still have the strength of Tier Seven materials even after their power has completely faded; the refined Divine Weapon material from each one is equivalent to a small mountain of Extraordinary Metal.
Thus, it's more worthwhile to feed the Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar, greatly enhancing the demon suppression's potency.
As for the one hundred sixty thousand points owed to the authorities, there's no rush, as they bear no interest, and as a powerful guardian, opportunities to earn points are plentiful.
Upon leaving the base, Jiang Hou sent Li Mengwu a message.
"Li Tongxue, keep a close watch on any abnormal situations in other regions, notify me immediately if there's information on Tier Seven Ferocious Beasts."
The beast form is only one step away from the Tier Seven Peak. With Feitong asleep and no Tier Seven Ferocious Beasts available to consume, one can only rely on those invading monsters.
When Jiang Hou arrived home, it was after five o'clock in the afternoon. Upon opening the door, he saw Qin Siyu squatting beside the cat's nest in the living room corner.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl quickly turned around, smiling cheerfully: "Jiang Hou, you're back."
"...Siyu, what are you doing there?"
The girl blinked: "Nothing much, just checking on Feitong, she's still asleep so I came to take a look."
"Is that so."
Jiang Hou suspiciously, knowing the girl, he felt sure she was just up to something mischievous.
At this point, Jiang Hou remembered the main matter: "By the way, Siyu, has your Word Spirit power recovered?"
Qin Siyu nodded: "It recovered at noon today, probably due to the recent increase in my Spiritual Power, speeding up recovery slightly."
Jiang Hou's face showed a smile: "After dinner, let's continue 'studying.'" As he spoke, his gaze settled on Qin Siyu's forehead.
The micro crown imprint has eight crown points, and currently, two have lit up. He feels that when all eight crown points are gathered, they should awaken the true Immortal Demon inheritance.
