The power of "Little Gold"! This is truly a national treasure!

It would be too boring to just run over and tell them.

Lin Xiyue looked at the majestic guardian divine general in her palm, then at the mountain of Jade Slips piled beside her, and a brilliant idea spontaneously arose in her mind.

She decided to give her Several Grandfathers a huge surprise.

With a slight thought, she directly tore open a spatial rift, bringing the pile of Jade Slips and the guardian divine general into it, her figure instantly disappearing from the spot.

The next second, her figure appeared on the plaza of the Taibai Mountain Base.

"Come out, Little Gold!"

"And then... get bigger!!"

At her command, the palm-sized golden figure instantly burst into brilliant light, its size rapidly increasing against the wind.

Ten meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters... Finally, a colossal giant, two hundred meters tall, stood like a deity on the plaza.

Its entire body glowed with dazzling golden light, exuding a suffocating Aura.

"Wow, it looks even cooler when it's bigger!"

Lin Xiyue looked at the mighty guardian divine general with satisfaction; she had already given this golden giant a cute and easy-to-remember name, Little Gold.

"Little Gold, extend your left hand and hold these Jade Slips."

As her words fell, Little Gold obediently extended its huge left hand, like a platform, and Lin Xiyue immediately placed the large pile of Jade Slips steadily in its palm.

Then, with a leap, she gracefully landed on Little Gold's shoulder,

found a comfortable spot to sit, and her two fair legs dangled idly in the air.

"Let's go for a spin."

Lin Xiyue patted Little Gold's sturdy arm, pointing towards the conference building not far away.

Little Gold received the command and immediately took heavy steps, heading towards the conference room.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As its footsteps fell, the entire Taibai Mountain Base began to tremble violently... At this moment, inside the conference room.

The Four Elders were poring over a detailed geological survey report, their brows furrowed with worry.

"The situation is even worse than we expected." The Grand Elder rubbed his temples, his expression grave.

"According to the latest data, the internal temperature of those large active volcanoes far exceeds our estimates."

"Even a Body Tempering Realm Cultivator wouldn't last long in such an environment."

"Not to mention the magma that could erupt at any time and the omnipresent poisonous gases."

They initially thought that with tens of thousands of extraordinary soldiers whose physical fitness far surpassed ordinary people, mining the Dragon Crystals would not be a problem.

But when the detailed on-site report was laid before them, they truly realized that they had underestimated the difficulty of this task.

Body Tempering Realm Cultivators, after all, only have physical fitness and strength far beyond ordinary people, but they cannot use spiritual power to protect their bodies like Qi Refining Realm Cultivators.

So they are not truly invulnerable to blades and spears, or immune to water and fire.

Of course, even so, mining was still possible.

But without a comprehensive plan, the casualties would likely be an unacceptable number.

Just then.

Thump!

The teacup on the table suddenly jumped violently, splashing water.

Immediately after, the entire room began to shake slightly.

Thump! Thump!

The tremors grew stronger and more regular.

"What's going on?!" The Second Elder was the first to react, his face changing, "An earthquake? How could Mount Taibai have an earthquake?"

The Third Elder immediately steadied the table, his face full of surprise and doubt: "Something's not right, this tremor is too regular, one after another!"

The Four Elders dared not delay, exchanged glances, and immediately rushed out of the conference room.

However, the moment they rushed out the door and looked up, all four of them froze in place.

They saw a colossal divine general, two hundred meters tall and entirely golden, standing silently on the plaza not far away.

Its enormous shadow completely enveloped them, and its metal-forged body reflected a cold and majestic glow in the sunlight.

An indescribable sense of oppression washed over them, causing the minds of the four old men, who were accustomed to great storms, to instantly go blank.

What is this thing?!

Alien invasion? Or some unknown giant war weapon?

But how could this thing appear silently in the heart of the Taibai Mountain Base?!

Just as the Four Elders were utterly terrified and standing dumbfounded, a crisp and playful voice came from the giant's shoulder.

"Hehe, Several Grandfathers, isn't this a surprise?"

"Isn't my big guy handsome?"

Hearing this familiar voice, the Four Elders suddenly came back to their senses.

They laboriously looked up and finally saw Lin Xiyue, sitting on the giant's shoulder, smiling and waving at them.

In an instant, the heart that had been in their throats finally returned to its place.

But what followed was an even hundredfold stronger shock and confusion.

"Yue Yatou... This... what exactly is this thing?!" The Second Elder pointed at the behemoth before him, his words somewhat incoherent.

"Hmph hmph... This is a precious treasure My Brother just sent!" Lin Xiyue proudly raised her chin.

"Its name is guardian divine general, and it's a special Puppet."

"Because it's all golden, I named it Little Gold."

"Doesn't that sound nice?"

"Guardian divine general?!" The Four Elders repeated this unfamiliar term with blank expressions.

At this point, Lin Xiyue leaped down from Little Gold's shoulder, lightly landing in front of the four, and began to explain in detail.

"This guardian divine general was obtained by My Brother earlier in the Great Emperor Secret Realm, and it's a national treasure personally refined by that Great Emperor powerhouse!"

"The most amazing thing is that it can be bound to our Great Xia's national destiny in the future."

"As long as the national destiny continues, its energy will never dry up, and its strength will continuously grow as the national destiny strengthens!"

Refined by a Great Emperor powerhouse... bound to national destiny... national treasure... continuously growing... These keywords, like thunderclaps, successively exploded in the minds of the Four Elders.

The more they listened, the more difficult it was to suppress the shock on their faces, eventually leaving only undisguised ecstasy.

"A vital national asset, this is truly a vital national asset!"

The Second Elder was flushed with excitement; he walked a circle around Little Gold's huge foot, which resembled a pillar supporting the sky, his eyes filled with fervent light!

"Little Yue, you said earlier that its strength is equivalent to the Nascent Soul Peak Stage?"

The Third Elder eagerly pressed: "How strong is it exactly? We don't have a concept just by hearing the Realm, can you let us see it with our own eyes!"

"Of course, no problem, I also want to know how strong Little Gold is!" Lin Xiyue readily agreed.

Subsequently, the group rushed without stopping to a deserted small hill near Mount Taibai.

That small hill was entirely composed of hard rock, about two hundred meters high, a bit taller than Little Gold.

"Alright, we'll use this small hill as a sandbag for Little Gold to practice with."

Lin Xiyue looked at the sturdy-looking small hill and felt very satisfied.

"Yue Yatou, hurry up, I can't wait any longer!" The Second Elder's old face was flushed with excitement, and he couldn't help but urge her.

"Don't rush, Second Grandpa." Lin Xiyue smiled slyly: "Actually, there's another function I haven't told you about."

As she spoke, with a thought,

Little Gold slowly half-squatted, placing its huge left hand, which was holding a pile of Jade Slips, flat on the ground, then temporarily threw the Jade Slips onto the ground.

The Several Grandfathers looked at the pile of Jade Slips, all showing expressions of doubt,

But before they could ask, Lin Xiyue explained: "These are the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills My Brother sent this time."

"There are many of them, and the types are also diverse."

The Several Grandfathers nodded knowingly upon hearing this.

"And another powerful aspect of Little Gold is that it can analyze these Martial Skills and perfectly execute them!"

Lin Xiyue dropped an even more significant piece of news, then added:

"Of course, currently it can only analyze Low Grade Earth Rank Martial Skills at most, but once it's bound to our Great Xia's national destiny, as the national destiny strengthens, this upper limit will continuously increase!"

This was a powerful ability she learned from the feedback information after recognizing Little Gold as her master.

She believed this was simply a divine skill!

"Oh my goodness!"

"It can even do that?!"

"Should I say it lives up to being a supreme treasure refined by a Great Emperor?"

The Several Grandfathers were once again deeply shocked, filled with emotion.

"Alright, Several Grandfathers, stand further back, I'm about to let Little Gold show off its strength."

Lin Xiyue reminded them.

After the Four Elders retreated to a safe distance, Lin Xiyue casually selected two Profound Rank Peak Martial Skills from the pile of Jade Slips.

"Little Gold, analyze 'Mountain Splitting Blade' and 'Sea Overturning Palm'!"

The command was given.

Little Gold's eyes suddenly shot out two brilliant beams of light, precisely enveloping the two Jade Slips.

Profound runes flashed, and in just an instant, the analysis was complete.

The next moment, Little Gold stood upright and slowly raised its right arm.

Buzz!

Massive golden spiritual power gathered in its palm, instantly condensing into a hundred-meter-long energy greatblade.

It gently waved it towards the small hill in front.

Whoosh!

A golden blade light flashed and disappeared, with no earth-shattering roar, only the hiss of a sharp blade cutting through the air.

The upper half of that two-hundred-meter-high small hill was neatly sliced off.

However, this was only the beginning.

Before the severed part of the mountain could fully slide down, Little Gold's left hand had already transformed into a palm seal and pushed forward violently.

An even larger golden palm print condensed out of thin air, carrying an Aura that crushed everything, and heavily pressed down on the half-remaining mountain.

Rumble—!

This time, a dull, thunderous roar finally came.

The entire small mountain, under that sky-obscuring palm print, couldn't even last a second before being utterly pulverized into dust.

The sky-high smoke and dust dispersed.

Where the hill once stood, only a colossal, bottomless palm print remained.
