Chapter 1128: Chapter 1147: Nine-Colored Divine Thunder
It’s just that the two of them have witnessed Ye Xuan’s combat power. Although they appear calm on the surface, internally, they have already begun to treat Ye Xuan as an equal.
Moreover, everyone present has lived a long time, all are cunning and scheming individuals. It’s impossible for them to truly fight Ye Xuan to the death over a verbal dispute, as there’s no benefit in that for them.
Ye Xuan casually absorbed the Heavenly Punishment Halberd into his body. He also understood the principle of restraint. Since the two had already stopped, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to continue; after all, the Tianyuan Kingdom was the top priority.
Soon, the five of them returned to the Taichu Sacred Land. However, the recent battle among the three had shattered the Taichu Holy Hall, so they could only sit cross-legged in midair, clearly about to discuss matters regarding the Tianyuan Kingdom.
The Chaos Great World is that simple. Just a moment ago, three people were fighting to the death, and in the next moment, they can sit together because everyone only cares about their own interests. The recent confrontation was just a form of mutual probing.
“Daoist Ye, your cultivation is indeed remarkable. I, Dao Yun, must seek your instruction again when we have the chance.” Dao Yun coolly remarked.
“Daoist Ye, the Yin Sea lineage doesn’t have many friends, but we would like to befriend you. Once the matter of the Tianyuan Kingdom is settled, if Daoist Ye has time, feel free to visit the Yin Sea as a guest. You would be most welcome.” The Yin Sea Saint King nodded towards Ye Xuan.
The attitudes of the two Saint Kings changed dramatically from their prior contempt, which also affirmed Ye Xuan. After all, in the Saint King Realm, having more friends is always better than having more enemies.
“Alright.”
Ye Xuan nodded calmly. He had realized that in the Chaos Great World, strength speaks for itself. There is no right or wrong; if you’re strong, others will approach you with a smile; if you’re weak, you deserve to die.
Victory makes the king, defeat makes the bandit; survival of the fittest—this sentence fully explains the way of survival in the Chaos Great World.
“Haha.”
The Tailing Saint King spun his eyes and laughed heartily, “Seeing that you Daoist friends coexist harmoniously, I am relieved. However, before we head to the Tianyuan Kingdom, we must lay everything on the table first.”
“Indeed. How should we distribute the treasures of the Tianyuan Kingdom?” Jiuqu Old Mother solemnly said.
At the mention of business, the five of them immediately fell silent. After all, the issue of treasure distribution must be agreed upon in advance. If disagreements arise once inside the Tianyuan Kingdom, it could pose a significant risk.
“I won’t say much else. The Tianyuan Kingdom was discovered by me and it’s I, Tailing, leading the four renowned Daoists there. I want forty percent of the treasure inside.” Tailing Saint King broke the silence first.
“Forty percent?”
The expressions of the three Saint Kings changed, suddenly turning gloomier, and the Yin Sea Saint King said coolly, “Brother Tailing, although you’re leading us into the Tianyuan Kingdom, isn’t taking forty percent too much?”
“Indeed, without our support, Tailing Daoist, it would be impossible for you to break through those restrictions. I cannot agree with forty percent.” Jiuqu Old Mother gently shook her head.
“I disagree as well.” Dao Yun Saint King said.
At this time.
Only Ye Xuan had yet to voice an opinion. The three Saint Kings also looked towards Ye Xuan, evidently considering him to have significant influence in the matter of treasure distribution.
Ye Xuan’s expression was calm. As he turned his hand, a Treasure Gourd appeared. As he opened the gourd, a wisp of nine-colored mist spewed out, accompanied by extremely terrifying thunderous sounds.
“Nine-Colored Divine Thunder?”
Jiuqu Old Mother shouted in astonishment, her face instantly turning pale as she stood up in shock, retreating several steps with a horrified look towards Ye Xuan.
Not only Jiuqu Old Mother, but the other three also did the same, standing up in alarm to keep a safe distance from Ye Xuan.
The four couldn’t have imagined that Ye Xuan would possess such a terrifying item. Their eyes reflected immense apprehension as they looked at Ye Xuan.
“You… how do you have Nine-Colored Divine Thunder?” Tailing Saint King shouted, voicing the question that all four had in their hearts.
“Nine-Colored Divine Thunder, capable of Suppressing all things. Years ago, I had the fortune of encountering this wisp of Nine-Colored Divine Thunder and spent millions of years collecting it, so there’s no need for fear, Daoist friends.” Ye Xuan spoke casually as he closed the gourd, causing the nine-colored mist to vanish from the four’s sight.
“Daoist Ye, what do you mean by this?” The Yin Sea Saint King frowned and asked.
“It means nothing. I just want to inform the four Daoists that I want twenty percent of the treasure from the Tianyuan Kingdom. As for how the remaining eighty percent is divided, it has nothing to do with me; I only want my rightful share.” Ye Xuan casually stated.
Nine-Colored Divine Thunder, a product of the Mutated Chaos Saint Tribulation. Back when Ye Xuan underwent the Chaos Saint Tribulation, he had already refined the Nine-Colored Divine Thunder into himself.
Not only the Nine-Colored Divine Thunder, but the Chaos Five-Colored Profound Fire also had been refined by Ye Xuan for his use, which was one of his trump cards.
However, Ye Xuan definitely wouldn’t reveal the truth to the four; he concocted a lie instead and then displayed the Nine-Colored Divine Thunder to intimidate the four Saint Kings.
As expected, the four Saint Kings’ expressions grew heavy, deeply apprehensive of the Treasure Gourd in Ye Xuan’s hand, not rejecting Ye Xuan’s proposal outright.
The Nine-Colored Divine Thunder is terrifying. Even as Great Saint Kings, they dared not claim to withstand it, for the thunder tribulation it holds could heavily injure anyone in the Saint King Realm.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan only has one wisp of Nine-Colored Divine Thunder. Although they dread it, it doesn’t pose a substantial threat to them.
Nevertheless, Ye Xuan showcasing the Nine-Colored Divine Thunder only elevated his stature in their minds, making them reluctant to directly refuse Ye Xuan’s request.
How unfortunate, the four are unaware that Ye Xuan had already refined the Nine-Colored Divine Thunder. If they knew, they would definitely join forces to consider Ye Xuan their top rival.
“Brother Ye withholds a wisp of Nine-Colored Divine Thunder, greatly helping to break through the restrictions, so I have no words against him claiming twenty percent.” Tailing Saint King first expressed his stance.
“What do the other three Daoists say?” Ye Xuan held the Treasure Gourd in one hand, smiling at the other three Saint Kings.
“I have no objections.” Dao Yun spoke in a deep voice.
“Twenty percent it is.” The Yin Sea Saint King reluctantly nodded.
“Brother Ye indeed possesses great skill; I have no issues either.” Jiuqu Old Mother said.
In an instant, Ye Xuan handed the ball back to the four, having set his share of two parts of the treasure, while how the remaining eight parts would be distributed among the four was their matter to resolve.
“Brother Tailing, forty percent is too much; the three of us cannot accept it.” The Yin Sea Saint King looked at the Tailing Saint King and said.
“Indeed, Daoist Ye has already claimed twenty percent, with Tailing Daoist wanting another forty, leaving only forty for the three of us. Wouldn’t we be at a loss in this deal?” Jiuqu Old Mother said coldly.
“I agree with the other Daoists.” Dao Yun Saint King echoed.
