It cannot be said that there is no hidden treasure house in the palace. They should be the private treasures of the monks in the palace. They think they are secret, but under Chen Hao's delusional eyes, they can be seen at a glance.
These small treasure houses are not even comparable to the resources in the third-level treasure house, so naturally they are even less likely to fall under Chen Hao's eyes.
Not to mention hiding it, even if it was placed in front of Chen Hao, Chen Hao would not even bother to pick it up.
As for the legendary first-level treasure house, there is no trace at all.
Chen Hao couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Could it be that there is no so-called first-level treasure house at all?
Thinking about it, what can be put into the first-level treasure house, probably only the secret method that increases the success rate of transcending tribulation and ascension by 70% is eligible to be put in.
But this secret method is so precious, why should it be put in the treasure house?
Just memorize the secret method and put it in your head. Is there any place in the world that is safer than the emperor's head?
If it were another monk, if he got this kind of secret method, he would probably memorize it word for word as soon as possible. After he memorizes it thoroughly, and can use it skillfully, he would immediately destroy the carrier of the secret method, and then never reveal even half of it.
Character.
This is the wise approach.
Thinking of this, Chen Hao couldn't help but secretly feel discouraged.
If the emperor really hides the secret method in a treasure house, then he may still get it, but if the secret method is only in the emperor's mind, he may never get it.
After all, the emperor is a late-stage Mahayana monk, and there is nothing he can do to others. Even if he is also a late-stage Mahayana monk and is more powerful than the emperor, but the emperor doesn't tell you, can you still forcibly search the memory of a Mahayana monk?
For Mahayana monks, the spirit, soul, and body are integrated into one and inseparable. To search for the soul of such a strong man, it is better to pray that you can survive the catastrophe.
The first-level treasure house may be just a legend and does not exist at all.
However, Chen Hao did not give up. He hesitated again and again, and finally lurked into the middle palace where the emperor lived.
Maybe there is another possibility, that the emperor may carry the secret method with him?
Although this possibility is very small.
The emperor's middle palace is not luxurious. Except for being slightly larger, other places are similar to, or even inferior to, many harems and royal palaces.
There were not many people around the emperor.
Zhang Sannian was often the only one beside the emperor.
Perhaps because of the time, the two of them got along very well. Although they were monarchs and ministers, they looked more like masters and disciples. The content of their chats was basically about cultivation.
Of course, it was always Zhang Sannian who asked for advice and the emperor gave guidance.
Chen Hao followed him secretly for a few days, and he could tell that the emperor did not deal with Zhang Sannian, but gave serious instructions, and was able to hit the nail on the head, explain in detail, and hold no reservations.
Emperor Xuanqing's level may be weaker than that of Tianchenzi, but they are both late-stage Mahayana monks, so the difference is not much different. Even Chen Hao felt greatly benefited from the guidance's suggestions.
Naturally, Zhang Sannian felt as if he had found a treasure. When he heard the wonderful things, even if he was as profound as him, he couldn't help but smile with joy.
Chen Hao finally understood why Zhang Sannian was willing to follow the emperor as an ordinary follower with his peak level of cultivation.
Not to mention anything else, just the guidance of the late Mahayana monks is an opportunity that ordinary monks can only hope to achieve.
As time goes by, Zhang may not be able to break through the Mahayana and become the top monk even in his third year.
In addition to cultivation, the two also occasionally chatted about internal affairs of the court and discussed other royal families.
At this time, Zhang Sannian will become very cautious and will not express personal opinions easily. Especially when talking about the royal family, he will most likely answer that the minister does not understand and dare not make unreasonable comments.
Chen Hao nodded secretly. It seems that Zhang Sannian is not only highly skilled in cultivation, but also has political wisdom. He only talks about cultivation, not political and military affairs, let alone evaluation of others, lest he says something wrong one day and makes the emperor dissatisfied without knowing it.
.
Emperor Xuanqing seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Sannian's attitude. Even if Zhang Sannian didn't say anything, he was not angry. Instead, he opened up the conversation and expressed his own opinions.
Zhang Sannian just listened silently, willing to be a receiver.
Putting cultivation aside, the two of them really looked like an emperor and a personal eunuch among mortals.
Chen Hao listened for a few days and didn't hear any secrets, but he heard a lot of gossip.
For example, Emperor Xuanqing complained that a certain royal family was unsophisticated and could not understand what he meant. He complained about the news of defeat coming from the battlefield, and complained that there were wars everywhere and some cultivators were making trouble. They were chattering like old men, which made Chen Hao faint.
Drowsy.
He had already seen Emperor Xuanqing thoroughly with his false eyes. Apart from a dragon robe which was a magic weapon to always be kept clean and tidy, well-fitted and insulated from warmth and cold, there was nothing else in his body.
Even the emperor didn't have the standard storage bag for monks.
Chen Hao also expressed his understanding of this.
After all, the emperor is rich in the world, and all Dasheng's resources nominally belong to him. If you want to use them, you can just issue an order.
As for daily necessities, isn’t there Zhang Sannian as his entourage?
Just ask Zhang Sannian to provide it.
Moreover, when one has reached the level of an emperor, there is only one step left to reach the peak. After the peak is the tribulation, resources are no longer important. What is important is some idealistic things, such as mentality.
The better the mentality and the more relaxed you are, the greater your success rate will be when overcoming the tribulation.
On the contrary, if you have a tense mentality and hold yourself tight all the time, you may have tormented yourself enough before the disaster comes.
From Chen Hao's level, we can also see that Emperor Xuanqing was practicing his own mentality when he became the emperor.
The emperor has a lot of things to do every day, so he can use all kinds of things, big and small problems, and all kinds of troubles to temper his state of mind and achieve a state of being unfazed by favors and humiliations, unruffled by ancient wells, mellow and full, and perfect without leakage.
In this way, even if there is no secret method, the success rate of overcoming the tribulation will be greatly increased.
Being the emperor itself means preparing to fight against the catastrophe.
Emperor Xuanqing did this very well.
At night, Emperor Xuanqing meditated and practiced like other monks, and Zhang Sannian stayed with him, meditating and practicing together.
Chen Hao took advantage of this opportunity and used the Eye of Illusion to look around Emperor Xuanqing, Zhang Sannian, the emperor's palace and other places. Although he saw a lot of interesting things, there was no trace of the secret method of overcoming the tribulation.
At this point, Chen Hao finally gave up.
It seems that the secret method of overcoming the tribulation does not exist in physical form, but should only exist in the mind of the emperor, and then be passed down orally to the next generation of emperors.
If you want to get this secret method, you can only push Du Xueqing to the throne and become the only heir, and then get it from Emperor Xuanqing himself before he ascends to the throne.
If Chen Hao has time and nothing else, he can do this. The problem is that it will probably take at least hundreds of years for Emperor Xuanqing to overcome the tribulation and ascend to the throne. If the time is slightly longer, it is not impossible to reach thousands of years.
