The Banquet of Rising Clouds had already made the guests feel it was worth attending.
First, Prince Jin conceding to a supreme expert served as an appetizer, followed by an incredibly exciting battle from the Human List, and finally, witnessing two prodigies take a step into heaven.
One could say the experiences at todayâs banquet were already quite explosive.
Who would have thought that just as the banquet was about to end, something new would emerge!
If it were anyone else trying to call attention at this point, it would actually be quite difficult.
But the person speaking was Tao Yu, a child of a hidden sect, and he had a supreme expert as a Protector by his side, giving his words a completely different weight!
Nevertheless, many present were unclear on what the âTrue Emperor Sealâ was.
Whispers started spreading immediately.
"What is the True Emperor Seal?"
"It seems to be the jade seal from the previous dynasty."
"Can something like that be sold? Isnât it hot to the touch?"
"Perhaps it has other functions..."
"..."
Producing an object symbolizing imperial power from the previous dynasty to sell, right in front of the Crown Prince and Prince Jin of Great Jin.
This scene truly gave one a sense of subtlety.
Only because Tao Yu had a very temperamental and fiercely protective supreme expert by his side did no one dare to say anything.
"It was indeed crafted in the previous dynasty and has the function of gathering the aura of human dao, offering unexpected benefits to those with a Heavenly Son Destiny who practice related Cultivation Techniques. For others, it holds no particular use."
Tao Yu did not hide anything and briefly explained the itemâs effects.
"Many have their eyes on this little thing. Even the âThief Kingâ Sikong Tu was hunted and almost killed."
Besides explaining the effects, it was, of course, necessary to highlight the rarity of the item.
And the Crown Prince and Prince Jin actually knew about it. Their joint journey south, aside from attending the Banquet of Rising Clouds, was largely because of this item.
Initially, it was all sneaky and concealed, simply because they hadnât ascended to that position yet.
But now it was suddenly exposed in broad daylight, truly making both feel as if they were being roasted over a fire.
The Crown Prince vaguely understood why Prince Jin could oppose him.
"This item from the previous dynasty..."
Crown Prince Zhao Qian pondered a bit, seeming to want to say some polite words.
"What previous dynasty item? This was made by the previous dynasty but now belongs to my young master."
Green Bird rudely interrupted Zhao Qian, then gave him a sidelong glance with her beautiful eyes.
"What? Are you planning to steal it?"
"Ah, no... Miss, youâve misunderstood."
Zhao Qian, as the Crown Prince, a follower of Buddhism and Daoism, usually wasnât as forceful as Prince Jin. His current demeanor was relatively gentle, unaffected by Green Birdâs retort. After pondering a bit, he said,
"Gathering human dao aura would benefit the Emperorâs Aura and is best suited for my father. I wish to purchase it, but Dharma Body-level supreme skills are mostly secrets within major sects and noble families. I only have one incomplete style..."
"Incomplete style, complete styleâdoesnât your Zhao Family have the âShocking World Bookâ? Thereâs no sincerity here. Both of you surely know it, right? This book as a foundation, plus some other things."
Green Bird directly interrupted the Crown Prince, and her words left the atmosphere feeling eerie.
No way, are you seriously demanding their familyâs core Basic Skills right in front of them?
And isnât the âShocking World Bookâ Emperor Martial Arts?
This...
Yet Green Bird had always acted as if she was unsophisticated and defiant of all norms.
Combined with her supreme cultivation, having crossed heavenly paths, it made people âcalmlyâ accept her demeanor.
This forced the Crown Prince to ponder again, and using a more rational tone, he said,
"Miss Green Bird and Master Hong from the hidden sect seem indeed unfamiliar with some of our external worldâs etiquette. To draw an analogy, itâs like me requesting the core Basic Skills of your sect, and surely you wouldnât agree to that..."
"Why wouldnât we agree to that?"
As Green Bird spoke on behalf of her sect, a trace of surprise appeared on her charming face, and she looked at the Crown Prince with a puzzled gaze.
"Skills that can be copied at no costâin your eyes, are they really so important? As long as there is exchange value, we would certainly accept it. But thatâs a different matter. If you want to trade, that can be discussed separately. For now, letâs talk about the True Emperor Seal..."
Green Birdâs matter-of-fact tone and attitude, along with Tao Yu not showing any dissent, made everyone present in the scene feel a bit stunned.
Really?
Are you willing to exchange your sectâs Fundamental Law?
Such an attitude made Meng Qi nod secretly.
Unfortunately, his Fundamental Law, the âEight-Nine Mysterious Skillâ, is from the Six Paths, and some other inheritances were gained through Immortal Trace, with contracts preventing them from being shared.
"To count, I do have the True Intent Inheritance of the first style of the Tathagata Divine Chapter, which surely has enough value, but Iâve only got the True Intent Inheritance, relying entirely on personal comprehension..."
Without the complete manual, having only forms, even the talented founding master of Shaolin had to independently create the âMuscle Change Classicâ as the Fundamental Law by comprehending the third style of the Tathagata Divine Chapter.
With Meng Qiâs current Ability, it truly poses a difficulty for him.
Moreover, he already has the âEight-Nine Mysterious Skillâ, which can simulate various qi transformations, as his Fundamental Law, so he doesnât need to concern himself with ordinary inheritances.
Even Dharma Body-level Cultivation Techniques have upper and lower ranks!
His âEight-Nine Mysterious Skillâ belongs to the top tier!
