Chapter 1741: Chapter 1741: The Profound Thunder Great Emperor’s Terms
Seeing the aura of the Profound Thunder Empire’s Grand Marshal Qiu Zhi and others locking onto him, Yang Xiaotian remained calm: “Indeed, the Posuo Buddha Tree is with me.”
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Profound Thunder Great Emperor and others lit up with joy.
“I heard that the Great Emperor obtained a Myriad Domains Holy Vein earlier?” Yang Xiaotian shifted his tone and asked.
The Profound Thunder Great Emperor was taken aback, not expecting Yang Xiaotian to suddenly inquire about the Myriad Domains Holy Vein.
“That’s right, I did obtain a Myriad Domains Holy Vein.” The Profound Thunder Great Emperor did not hide the fact and smiled.
After all, many people knew about this, so he had nothing to hide.
Upon hearing that the Profound Thunder Great Emperor indeed possessed a Myriad Domains Holy Vein, Yang Xiaotian pondered and asked: “I wonder what it would take for the Great Emperor to part with that Myriad Domains Holy Vein?”
Seeing Yang Xiaotian wanting the Myriad Domains Holy Vein, the Profound Thunder Great Emperor was somewhat surprised. Generally speaking, only those above the Great Saint Realm would find such a high-level item useful.
What would Yang Xiaotian, a Saint Realm individual, need a Myriad Domains Holy Vein for?
Although puzzled, the Profound Thunder Great Emperor did not ask Yang Xiaotian why he needed the Myriad Domains Holy Vein. He pondered and said: “If Young Hero Yang is willing to give me the Posuo Buddha Tree, I can give you that Myriad Domains Holy Vein, and also a hundred billion.”
Yang Xiaotian listened and calmly said: “Does the Great Emperor think the Posuo Buddha Tree is only worth a Myriad Domains Holy Vein and a hundred billion?”
The Posuo Buddha Tree can continuously produce Posuo Buddha Fruit, each one of which is better than a Hundred-Million-Year Divine Medicine, and its value far exceeds a Myriad Domains Holy Vein and a hundred billion.
Although the Myriad Domains Holy Vein is a treasure, once used, it cannot grow again.
As for the hundred billion, Yang Xiaotian does not lack money right now, so what would he do with that?
The Profound Thunder Great Emperor also knew the value of the Posuo Buddha Tree far exceeded a Myriad Domains Holy Vein and a hundred billion. Hearing the mockery in Yang Xiaotian’s words, he felt somewhat embarrassed.
At this moment, a general of the Profound Thunder Empire beside him said coldly: “Yang Xiaotian, this Posuo Buddha Tree is not yours. To obtain a Myriad Domains Holy Vein and a hundred billion, you should be grateful to Buddha.”
“You, a mere Saint Realm disciple, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with the Great Emperor?”
“That Posuo Buddha Tree, whether you give it today or not, you must give it!”
Clearly, they intended to forcibly seize it!
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian sneered: “The Posuo Buddha Tree is not mine, could it possibly be yours?”
He looked at the Profound Thunder Great Emperor: “What, does the Great Emperor want to forcibly seize it?”
The Profound Thunder Great Emperor coughed, raised his hand to stop his subordinates, and looked at Yang Xiaotian, smiling: “Young Hero Yang, don’t misunderstand, I have no intention of forcibly seizing. However, the Posuo Buddha Fruit is indeed very important to me, so I hope Young Hero Yang can part with it.”
“In that case, any conditions Young Hero Yang has can be put forth.”
He glanced subtly at Old Lu behind Yang Xiaotian.
Having investigated Yang Xiaotian, he had naturally found out about Old Lu beside Yang Xiaotian.
He knew that this was someone from the South Heavenly Gate.
If it weren’t for the presence of this individual from the South Heavenly Gate, he might have considered forcibly seizing it.
After all, the Posuo Buddha Fruit was too important to him.
“If the Great Emperor gives me four hundred mouthfuls of Buddha’s Holy Water plus a Myriad Domains Holy Vein, I can give the Great Emperor one Posuo Buddha Fruit.” Yang Xiaotian said: “As for the Posuo Buddha Tree, it is equally important to me and cannot be relinquished.”
The Profound Thunder Great Emperor frowned: “Four hundred mouthfuls of Buddha’s Holy Water and a Myriad Domains Holy Vein for just one Posuo Buddha Fruit?”
The generals beside him were incensed upon hearing this.
“Yang Xiaotian, how brazen! You dare to make such exorbitant demands of the Great Emperor?”
“Under all heavens, isn’t everything the emperor’s domain? Within the Profound Thunder Empire, all treasures are our Great Emperor’s, including the Posuo Buddha Tree!”
The generals were all angry.
Yang Xiaotian directly blocked them out.
The Profound Thunder Great Emperor raised his hand, indicating for them to stop. His face showed a mix of emotions as he looked at Yang Xiaotian and said: “Four hundred mouthfuls of Buddha’s Holy Water and a Myriad Domains Holy Vein is agreeable, but I want two Posuo Buddha Fruits!”
Yang Xiaotian shook his head: “Just one!” After saying this, he clasped his hands respectfully: “Great Emperor, think it over and come find me.” Then he prepared to leave with Old Lu.
However, the generals stepped forward, blocking the path of Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu.
Meanwhile, the Empire’s hidden experts all emerged.
A chilling intent filled the air.
Seeing this, Old Lu released his full aura, blasting forth.
The generals were forced to retreat.
The Profound Thunder Great Emperor said in a deep voice: “Let them leave.”
The generals and Empire’s experts dared not block them any further.
Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu stepped away.
After Yang Xiaotian and Old Lu left, Grand Marshal Qiu Zhi approached the Profound Thunder Great Emperor and said in a deep voice: “Your Majesty, although the South Heavenly Gate old monster is strong, if we strike with all our might, we might not be unable to capture both of them!”
After all, the South Heavenly Gate old monster is but one person!
Whereas, they are the whole Profound Thunder Empire!
The Profound Thunder Great Emperor had entertained this thought but felt a strong unease for some reason.
“Grand Marshal is correct, Your Majesty. If we strike with all our strength, we can definitely capture the South Heavenly Gate old monster!” another general said.
The Profound Thunder Great Emperor shook his hand, not saying a word.
Upon returning to his residence, the next day, the Profound Thunder Great Emperor sent a general to deliver four hundred mouthfuls of Buddha’s Holy Water and a Myriad Domains Holy Vein to Yang Xiaotian.
However, the Myriad Domains Holy Vein was incomplete, with about one-tenth used.
Nevertheless, after weighing the options, Yang Xiaotian still used two hundred mouthfuls of Buddha’s Holy Water to mature a Posuo Buddha Fruit and handed it to them.
The general took the Posuo Buddha Fruit and snorted: “Young Hero Yang, take care.” After saying this, he left with the others.
After they left, Yang Xiaotian used the remaining two hundred mouthfuls of Buddha’s Holy Water to mature another Posuo Buddha Fruit.
Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to consume the Posuo Buddha Fruit to cultivate, Mu Sanye came over, looking at Yang Xiaotian with a complex expression, feeling both gratified and displeased.
Gratified that the Hongmeng Academy recruited such an extraordinary talent, displeased that Yang Xiaotian severely injured his disciple. If he hadn’t treated him in time, his disciple Qian Hai would likely have died.
Suppressing his displeasure, he said to Yang Xiaotian: “Little guy, are you interested in joining the Hongmeng Academy’s Main Campus?” Then said: “Disciples from various branch campuses of Hongmeng Academy can join the Main Campus through assessments.”
“With your talent, staying at the Heavenly Fire Branch Campus is too stifling. If you join the Hongmeng Academy’s Main Campus, you’ll have access to more abundant cultivation resources.”
Disciples from various branch campuses of Hongmeng Academy can indeed undergo assessments to join the Main Campus, but only if they have reached the Saint Tenth Layer. Without the strength of the Saint Tenth Layer, they cannot participate in assessments.
“We’ll see when the time comes.” Yang Xiaotian said, then asked: “I heard the Hongmeng Ancestral Master isn’t on the Three Pure Continents?”
Mu Sanye glanced at Yang Xiaotian and nodded: “The Ancestral Master indeed left the Three Pure Continents decades ago, where he went, I’m not sure.”
Perhaps due to the matter involving his disciple Qian Hai, their conversation was not pleasant. Sitting for a while, Mu Sanye then left.
