Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Inside the royal palace.

It was not only Yue Xingzhou present but also several other members of the Yue Family.

Obviously, since the royal palace had been secured, non-combatants could also enter to inventory and coordinate the palace's assets.

"This is the preliminary inventory of assets we have obtained."

Yue Xingzhou said, pointing at the inventory list, "Besides land, jewels, utensils, palaces, manors, and minerals, almost all of the top hundred groups in the country have shares controlled by the royal family, the only difference being the proportion."

Alkaid took the list and examined it.

The royal family in this world differed from his; it was essentially a super noble family.

Additionally, with their stronger control and influence over the country, they naturally had amassed great wealth.

Even with this list in Yue Xingzhou's hands, the visible assets alone exceeded six hundred billion red star currency.

If the hidden wealth were included, the total assets of the Liao Family would exceed one trillion.

This referred to red star currency.

One trillion!

It had already surpassed the entire annual GDP of Dayu Country.

From this, one could see to what extent the wealth of the Liao Family had reached.

Being as rich as a country was no understatement.

"Furthermore, we have also stripped off the war loot from Liao Zhenguo, Bian Liancheng, and others."

Yue Xingzhou said, pointing at a platform a few meters away.

There, the most conspicuous items were a pair of gauntlets and a curved blade.

"These are the Divine Weapon Heavy Star and the Crescent Blade."

Yue Xingzhou said enviously, "These are all top-tier divine weapons, especially the Heavy Star. Once, a Divine Intent Martial Saint offered eight billion for it, but Liao Zhenguo never sold it."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After saying this, he added, "I am referring to red star currency."

"Eight billion red star currency."

Alkaid nodded.

Although his Divine Shadow Sword also belonged to the category of divine weapons, a good price for it would be around one billion red star currency.

From this, one could discern the difference between the two.

"Divine weapons, battle garments, the equipment on their bodies all together, are worth over ten billion."

Ten billion red star currency.

Perhaps many people think these items have plain effects, but their prices are outrageously high.

Buying an S-grade battle garment might not be as good as buying several fighter jets.

But...

The value of many things is never measured in such terms.

An S-grade battle garment means that it is impervious to firearms, what you buy is a sense of security.

"Lord Alkaid, you need to form a specialized team to organize these assets for you,"

Yue Xingzhou said with a smile.

"I'll make a phone call in a bit, your people can start coordinating and preparing the initial work,"

Alkaid said.

"Okay."

"Take me to the Liao Family's treasury."

Alkaid said.

Yue Xingzhou quickly led the way up front.

Shortly, the two arrived at the door.

There, Huang Yan of the Yue Family was guarding the outside with a dozen elites.

"Lord Alkaid."

Huang Yan, having known of Alkaid's achievements, greeted him with a salute as soon as he saw him.

The gaze beneath his opened faceplate carried an unmistakable fervor.

Being a spearhead, breaking through the royal court.

Close at hand, everyone's enemy is the country.

Such brilliance is the lifelong pursuit of any martial artist.

"We have never opened the treasury door."

Huang Yan said.

Alkaid nodded.

Once the doors to the treasury were opened, some things, some matters would become unclear.

Knowing that Alkaid was about to rise to prominence, the Yue Family members would not make such a mistake.

Alkaid approached the massive steel door, entered the password he had obtained from the chief steward of the royal family, Liao Ming.

"Ding!"

A green light flashed, and the door opened.

"We'll wait for you outside,"

Yue Xingzhou tactfully said.

Alkaid nodded.

As he entered the treasury, what caught his eye was the treasure that filled every corner of the two-story room, including gold, silver, jewels, and famous porcelain and paintings.

Every piece of gold and silverware in this collection room bore rich historical significance, and each piece of porcelain and calligraphy could be considered a national treasure in some countries.

Selling for a few million red star currency was effortless, and the price could even surge to tens of millions with a special buyer.

Alkaid looked around for a moment, quickly coming to a storage rack.

Each storage rack preserved a piece of equipment perfectly.

Swords, spears, sabers, halberds, everything was there.

Alkaid took out his cellphone, activated the appraiser camera connected to the Bu Zhou Society database, and took a few photos; without exception, these weapons were all at least at the treasured sword level.

A few even stepped into the realm of divine weapons.

All these...

Were the foundations of the royal family.

Alkaid quickly calculated and shockingly discovered that the value of the various collectible items in this room alone was no less than one hundred billion red star currency.

For a moment, he moved to a completely transparent compartment.

The compartment stored numerous books and was undergoing oxidation prevention treatment.

Alkaid stepped forward and entered the password.

The chief financial officer of the Liao Family, Liao Ming, had been captured by Huang Yan, and naturally, all that needed to be interrogated had been.

Quickly, the door opened, and Alkaid entered, beginning to flip through these books.

After a while, he saw something, paying particular attention to one book.

A few minutes later, he finally stopped flipping through the pages.Although some experts have released videos claiming that the Ice Age a thousand years ago wouldn't have led to the demise of human civilization,

perhaps the destruction of human civilization still harbors unknown reasons.

However, it still happened a thousand years ago.

These experts couldn't provide sufficient evidence, and combined with the incessant propaganda of living in the present and looking to the future by various countries, it failed to cause much of a ripple.

This book hadn't uncovered the true cause of the great cataclysm, but…

it did have a conclusion at the end.

The great cataclysm was man-made.

…

"Artifact Nurturing Realm."

Alkaid read out this name.

The book mentioned another name for their world.

And Xia Wuyuan's video mentioned this name as well.

"His information… should come from the Baisheng Chemical Plant."

Alkaid speculated.

Based on the distribution of identities within the Rebirth Society, based on the forces stationed in Dayu Country by the Life Saving Society, one could almost tell.

Similar to upper echelons like Zong Yan and Fang Lu…

Zhao Sheng counts as one, Xie Yusheng counts as another.

Another…

was that demon chased and killed by him and Xia Wuyuan at the Baisheng Chemical Plant.

From this, one could see the significance of Baisheng Chemical Plant as a crucial operational hub.

It wasn't entirely unreasonable for Xia Wuyuan to acquire various information there, pursue the leads, verify them, and thereby glimpse the true nature of the world.

"This world… it's quite dangerous."

Alkaid put down the book.

A strong sense of insecurity surged through him once more.

It was no less intense than when he had first arrived in this world, when he saw from the original body's "memories" a demon devouring several people's brains.

That chilling sensation, like being electrocuted, swept through his entire body, and he still vividly remembered it to this moment.

He wanted to go back.

But…

he couldn't return.

So…

"Immortality."

He placed his hopes on the elusive concept of immortality.

To live a long and carefree life, free from worldly concerns.

And now…

he was making strives step by step towards that direction.

"To ascend to immortality."

He uttered the words.

He did not aspire to be a Deity who wielded the rules of law, nor did he aspire to be a Heavenly Immortal who merged with the natural order to enact heavenly wills, nor even to become a Daluo Golden Immortal who could transcend the Three Realms and not be confined by the Five Elements. He simply wished to become a Human Immortal with the human form and emotions.

To live long and peacefully, without calamities, pain, or degeneration.

That was all.

"Becoming immortal will ensure my personal safety."

Alkaid said.

He didn't look at any other books.

Most of these books were about cultivation techniques and secret techniques.

They even included a technique that could cultivate to the level of a Primordial Chaos Martial Saint and a combat skill of the Celestial Level.

But to him, these were meaningless.

The information given to him by the Martial Path could easily discern dozens of methods and skills superior to these.

After spending over an hour conducting a preliminary inventory of the treasure room, he left the collection room.

Huang Yan was still waiting outside.

After nodding to him, Alkaid took out his phone and called Su Chiming.

After a long wait, Su Chiming answered the call.

"What's the matter?"

He asked solemnly.

"Uh…"

Alkaid glanced at the time displayed on his phone.

It was already past three in the morning.

He had been too busy earlier, and now that the palace was brightly lit after emergency repairs to the wiring, looking like daylight, he had forgotten about this.

It was no wonder Su Chiming asked this, considering the time Alkaid called him.

Nevertheless…

"There is something."

Alkaid said, "Arrange for a team of professional financial personnel to come to the royal palace immediately."

After speaking, he added, "Reliable ones, preferably those trained by our own family."

"Financial personnel? No problem, ever since our Su Family was poised to climb to the top of the South a decade ago, we have been consciously preparing towards the direction of noble families in finance, law, banking, and marketing, training several batches of talents. How many do you need? I'll send them immediately!"

Su Chiming stated without hesitation.

His attitude of being willing to offer people fully reflected his trust in Alkaid.

"Send them all."

Alkaid said, "There's quite a lot to inventory."

After pondering for a moment, he added, "Also, if there's nothing urgent at Bu Zhou Group, come over with your team. Some companies need you to interface them."

The royal family had stakes in numerous corporations over the years.

The combined value of these shares was worth several hundred billion Red Star Currency, and taking over one by one was no small task.

"Bring the people from Bu Zhou Group? There's a lot to coordinate locally at Bu Zhou Group's side…"

"No matter, the Southern Capital is all our own people."

Alkaid said.

The battle side by side that night had proven that the Yue Family was trustworthy.

"Prioritize matters by urgency; taking control of all major departments is sufficient, the rest of the companies can be slowly taken over."

He added another comment.

"Prioritize by urgency? Doesn't taking control of the Southern Capital count as the most important matter…"

Su Chiming said this and suddenly paused, seemingly remembering the grand scene at yesterday's Star Universe Center — where the core personalities of the noble families gathered.

A sudden realization struck him, unable to help but ask, "What have you done?"

"Nothing much."

Alkaid replied, "I annihilated the Liao Family, now waiting for you to come and take over the Liao Family's assets."
