Chapter 1197 - 1197: Heroes
Amidst the deafening cheers and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xia Ping ‘an calmly walked towards Tianxi Sect.
Because Tianxi Gate could only be entered by those who had received an invitation from the eight great sites, it was not open to ordinary people. Furthermore, Tianxi Gate could not accommodate these people who had been following Xia Pingan. Therefore, the people who had previously surrounded Xia Pingan did not continue to follow Xia Pingan to Tianxi Gate. They just stayed where they were.
Xia Pingan only turned around after taking a few steps. He looked at the crowd behind him and gently raised a hand. The cheers in the crowd immediately quieted down, and Tianxi Gate fell silent in the blink of an eye.
“Thank you for your company today. Also, thank you for your magnanimity today. You didn’t cancel my qualification to buy God’s Secret Treasures just because I’ve obtained supreme treasures in God’s Secret Treasures one after another.”
After hearing Xia Pingan’s words, all the people at present cheered up once again. The heads and guardians of the 8 Taoist sites exchanged a glance with each other as they felt a bit helpless and gratified. Actually, when Xia Pingan took out the 5th item from the God’s Secret Treasure, the 8 Taoist sites had different opinions about whether to let Xia Pingan continue to purchase the God’s Secret Treasure.
Some Taoist sites felt that they should cancel Xia Pingan’s qualification to purchase god’s secret items. The reason was that if Xia Pingan continued to purchase god’s secret items like this, he might have taken all the treasures in the god’s secret items. In this way, the sales of god’s secret items in the following half a month would be affected. In the past years, all the treasures in the Treasure Tournament had been opened within half a month. This would give more people confidence and make the Treasure Tournament popular. Therefore, the God’s Secret Treasure could be sold continuously.
However, the dojos objected to Xia Ping ‘an’s trade in the Battle of Treasures Dojo. The reason for their opposition was that the Battle of Treasures was the golden signboard of Sin Demonic City. Every Battle of Treasures would bring a huge amount of income to the dojos. It would also make the signboards, names, and reputation of the dojos deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The latter was the foundation that allowed the dojos to stand firm in Sin Demonic City and gain profit from the transaction of the God’s secret treasures. If the major dojos restricted a certain person’s trade in the Treasure Tournament, they would be breaking their own rules, which would be equivalent to smashing the Treasure Tournament and their own signboard. Although they could gain immediate benefits, in the long run, it would definitely not be worth it. On the contrary, the major dojos would have to pay a huge price to make up for the loss of reputation. Since it was a business, reputation came first.
After a fierce discussion and dispute, the major Taoist sites came to a consensus that the rules of the Treasure Tournament could not be broken. No matter how many treasures a person could get, the major Taoist sites would not interfere.
“I know what everyone is worried about. I can tell everyone that today is my first time participating in the Treasure Battle Grand Assembly. It will also be my last time participating…” When Xia Ping ‘an opened his mouth again, the cheers suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked at Xia Ping’ an in shock. They didn’t expect Xia Ping ‘an to make such a statement in front of everyone. When the eight dojos heard Xia Ping’ an’s words, they didn’t know whether they were surprised or happy. This was also what they were most afraid of before. If Xia Ping ‘an continued to play like this, then their dojos wouldn’t be able to continue operating. They would all become employees of this person.
“Master, you…Are you saying that you won’t participate in the Treasure Grand Assembly in the future?”Someone in the crowd asked loudly.
“Yes, I won’t participate again. This is the last time!”Xia Pingan replied.
“Why, with so many hidden treasures of the Divine Ascension, isn’t Grandmaster tempted?”
“The rarities in the universe don’t belong to me alone. I only take the part that I should take away. As for me, I can’t use up all my power; neither can I enjoy all my blessings. This is the way of heaven. Although you’ve seen many rarities from the God’s secret treasure, there are still some rarities in the God’s secret treasure.”
After hearing Xia Ping ‘an’s words, everyone present was stunned. A few seconds later, they cheered again. Only someone with such a broad mind could be called the King of Secret Items.
“Master, do you accept disciples?” Someone asked anxiously.
” I don’t accept apprentices, because I have the ability, no one can imitate, you want to learn, and 1 can’t!””
“Grandmaster is the King of the Hidden Treasures of this year’s Treasure Assembly. Could you tell me your name?”
A voice came from behind Xia Ping ‘an. The owner of the Myriad Treasures Garden finally asked a question when he had the chance to interrupt. This question was actually something that everyone was concerned about.
Xia Ping ‘an turned around and looked at the eight dojo masters behind him. Suddenly, he laughed.” Before answering this question, I would like to know how the eight dojos planned to make me stop?”
This question was direct and sharp. All the 8 masters standing in front of Tianxi Palace became silent for a while. Finally, they all fixed their eyes on the master of Treasures Park who had just spoken. After taking a deep breath, the master of Treasures Park said,” As long as Master is willing, we are ready to hire you as the chief priest of the 8 sites. From now on, we will give 20% of the divine crystals or God’s secret treasures that the 8 sites receive annually to Master!”
The crowd couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air when they heard this condition. This condition was equivalent to the person in front of them becoming the ninth-largest snobbish power in Evil Magic City, and the biggest one at that.
“Right, this condition is enough to express your sincerity. However, I don’t want to be the chief consecer of the 8 major sites. I’m not interested in your income. I know that you must have a lot of precious god’s secret items. I have one more wish. You show me those god’s secret items. I will choose one as your gift. After finishing my wish, I will leave here. How about that?”
“Now that master has said so, we will do as master wishes. These are the secret god’s treasures collected by Treasures Park. Please appreciate them, master. If master likes any one, just take it away as a gift from Treasures Park!”As the owner of the Myriad Treasures Garden said that, he waved his hand and about seventy to eighty God’s Secret Treasures appeared in front of Xia Ping ‘an.
—These 70 – 80 god’s secret items were bizarre in color, shape, luster, size and grains. Each god’s secret item was very special. Being completely different than common god’s secret items, some god’s secret items looked like immortals flying in them from afar. Some god’s secret items were like black holes which could suck in surrounding light. Some god’s secret items were as large as 7 – 8 common god’s secret items. What was more, there were two god’s secret treasures that were not round but cubic.
“All, could it be that these are the legendary xenogeneic God’s Hidden Treasures that are worth at least ten million god crystals?”Many onlookers were shocked. They all stared at the xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures that they wouldn’t show to ordinary people.
There was a higher chance that the xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures contained true treasures, but the cost of opening them was also higher. Many of the xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures were empty. Even the masters of the eight sites, who owned the xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures, didn’t dare to open them. The cost of doing so was too great. The best way to earn was to sell the xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures at a high price. He would use the divine crystals he had accumulated to buy the treasures that might appear in these xenogeneic secret treasures.
Seeing that the owner of the Treasures Yard was about to make his move, the other owners didn’t stay idle either. They waved their hands and took out their xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures.
In just a few moments, Xia Pingan was surrounded by seven to eight hundred xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures.
The onlookers had their eyes opened. The priests of the eight sites had already made their moves. They had set up a perimeter around Xia Ping ‘an and the xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures. They didn’t have to worry about anyone coming to steal them.
“Not bad, not bad. There are indeed quite a number of good things…” Xia Ping ‘an laughed. He walked around the xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures, looking left and right. In a few minutes, Xia Ping’ an had picked out two of the xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures. The two xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures hovered around Xia Ping ‘an like satellites. It was very magical.
” Hahaha, originally, I only wanted to choose one, but I didn’t expect to meet another one. I also liked it, so 1 took it…” Xia Ping ‘an pointed at a xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasure that was burning like a sun and asked the owner of the Divine Demon Dojo,” How many god crystals does this xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasure cost? I’ll buy it!””
The owner of the Divine Demon Mansion was wearing a mask that was half black and half white, half ferocious and half compassionate. Hearing Xia Pingan’s words, he shook his head and said in a deep voice,” Master, it’s our honor that you’ve taken a fancy to our Divine Demon Mansion’s God’s Secret Treasure. This xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasure is our gift to you!””
“Alright, then I’ll accept it!” As Xia Ping ‘an spoke, he waved his hand, and a mist-covered xenogeneic God’s Hidden Treasure flew up from the pile of Hidden Treasures and landed in front of the owner of the Divine Demon Dojo.” The item inside should be useful to you. Consider it my gift!””
” Thank you, Master!” The master of the Divine Demon Dojo was overjoyed. He put away the xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasure and bowed to Xia Pingan.”
Everyone knew that the xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasure that Xia Ping ‘an had given out at this time definitely contained something good. Everyone was curious, but they couldn’t force the dojo master to open it.
Xia Ping ‘an pointed at another xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasure that looked like a normal stone.” I’ll ask you again. You gave me this xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasure and chose it to fulfill my wish. Do you want to give it to me?””
“Of course, the god’s secret treasure that master chose would be gifted to master!”The owner of Heaven’s Destiny Mansion nodded. As the God’s secret item that Xia Pingan chose was too plain and didn’t look like a God’s secret item, it was like an ugly duckling among all the other God’s secret items. Therefore, it was a xenogeneic and was collected by the owner of Heaven’s Destiny Mansion.
Xia Ping ‘an nodded and waved his hand. Three xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures flew out of the xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures that the head of Heaven’s Destiny Dojo took out and landed in front of the head of Heaven’s Destiny Dojo.” One of these three God’s Secret Treasures contains a godly weapon, and the other two contain treasures. 1’11 take one from you and return three to you!””
Hearing that one of the three xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures contained a godly item, the master of Heaven’s Destiny Hall was overjoyed. He quickly put away the three xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures and bowed to Xia Pingan.” Thank you, Master!””
“Master, what is inside the two xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasures you chose?”Someone in the crowd immediately asked curiously.
“Yes, Master. What exactly is in those two xenogeneic secret treasures? Can you show us?”Everyone agreed.
“Everyone wants to know what is inside the xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasure that I chose?”Xia Pingan asked.
“Not bad, not bad!”
“Alright, then I’ll show everyone!”
Xia Ping ‘an pointed at the xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasure that was as bright as the sun. The xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasure bloomed.
In a split second, a brilliant light which was 10 times more brilliant than the sun rose from that God’s secret treasure, illuminating the entire Evil Demon Capital as bright as daytime. Many people at present couldn’t open their eyes due to the blinding light.
When the light faded away, many people could see clearly that there was a Realm Pearl that was even more brilliant than the sun in the sun-like xenogeneic God’s Secret Treasure. The aura emitted by the Realm Pearl made many people step back.
“That’s…That’s the legendary Demon World Breaking Pearl…” Countless people exclaimed..
