Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 384: A buried legacy

Once the figure of light disappeared, the room also suddenly dimmed.

The lights that had turned on after the sand emperor appeared also went out right away, casting the room into darkness.

At this, Gao Fu Shuai panicked as he came closer to me.

Though he came a bit too close for comfort when he did this.

Shaking my head, I pushed him back and snapped my fingers to create several balls of flames around us that lit up the area around us.

It was only then that Gao Fu Shuai moved away from me with an awkward smile on his face.

I just ignored him as I focused on the staff that I had received.

I didn’t know exactly what this staff was, but I could still feel a faint trace of energy coming from it. Even though we had drained most of the energy from this staff when we fought the sand emperor, it still had a trace of energy in it.

As I was about to ask the system, a notification appeared above the staff.

Sand Emperor’s Ruling Cane

The symbol of the Sand Empire’s prosperous rule that has been passed down through generations of emperors that ruled over the Sand Empire. When the Sand Empire fell, it was buried in the grasps of the final emperor as their glorious capital sank under the sand.

Immortal Grade Artifact (Currently degraded to a Golden Core Artifact due to a lack of energy)

"Is it possible to restore this thing?" I suddenly asked the system after reading the description.

The system was silent for a bit before slowly saying, "This staff’s power is based on the power of faith gathered around the Sand Empire. If the Sand Empire was restored, then it would be possible for it to regain its power."

The way that the system said this was almost as if it was hesitant to say this.

It was as if it didn’t want to tell me this.

I could guess what the system was thinking, so I said, "Don’t worry, I don’t have any plans on restoring this thing. I just wanted to know if it was possible to restore it with your power."

The system was silent for a bit before saying, "It’s possible, but it isn’t advised. Even if it is an Immortal Grade Artifact, it is only a low grade artifact. The things that the system can give are of a much higher grade than this thing."

"I know." I simply said without saying anything else.

The system didn’t say anything after that since it knew what I was thinking.

After taking a deep breath, I put the staff away in my Storage Ring before turning to Gao Fu Shuai.

Without a word, I took out the key and opened the door to the Space and Time Training Room.

Gao Fu Shuai also didn’t say a word as he just gave a simple bow to me before entering the Space and Time Training Room.

Though he didn’t say a word, I could see the look that was in his eyes.

It was clear that he gained confidence from fighting the sand emperor just now.

He knew that his training was effective as he had been able to take care of one of the invaders from the upper realm. This inspired him to work even harder on his training so he could follow his young master when it was time to leave.

I just left that to him since I knew that he would work hard.

After sending Gao Fu Shuai into the Space and Time Training Room, I walked out of this throne room.

Taking the same path as before, I exited the castle and returned to the city outside.

Though after stepping out of the castle, I couldn’t help wondering what I was supposed to do now.

I had fallen into a sand pit trap and had been brought down into this underground city, but I didn’t know how I was supposed to leave this place. Even if I were to get Bolt to fly up, it wasn’t as if I would be able to penetrate through the layer of sand that was above me to reach above ground that easily.

So I just stood there with slightly knitted brows as I looked up at the darkness above me.

While I was doing this, I suddenly heard a sound coming from around me.

I wasn’t sure what this sound was at first since it was so quiet, but then I realized that it was the sound of sand falling.

At this, I quickly snapped my finger and lit a bunch of flames around me so that I could see what was happening. This wasn’t the time to be worried about what else might be hiding in this city, what I was worried about now was...

As expected, the sand that was above me was falling down.

It seemed like without the support of the Sand Emperor’s Ruling Cane, the sand that was above this city was about to fall down and completely bury it. I knew that the only thing that kept the sand from burying this city completely was the power of the cane, so now that it was gone...this place would be buried deep in the sand.

As I was wondering if I should get a Transport Array from the system to leave this place, something suddenly happened.

The sand that had been falling around me suddenly floated up and started moving towards me.

I raised my guard at first, but then I saw that it wasn’t coming to attack me.

Rather, this sand took the form of a set of stairs in front of me.

At the same time, I could see that there was a faint light coming from my Storage Ring.

It seemed that the final will of the last emperor of the Sand Empire was guiding me out of this place before it was buried in the sand.

So without hesitation, I stepped on the stairs and started heading up.

I didn’t go fast or slow, I just went at a moderate pace as I watched the sand falling around me.

I watched as the legacy of the Sand Empire was buried under all this sand.
