Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
But now, the situation had surprised the Lord of Xingluo. It was too unbelievable. He could not imagine how this person who had secretly sneaked into the sealed place had walked all the way to the location of the Eye of the Emperor Judgment under those taboos and how he had awakened the sleeping Eye of the Emperor Judgment.
Chen Yuan smiled and did not say anything. In fact, from the beginning, their goal was the demigod-level forbidden treasure, the Eye of the Emperor Judgment. He had only made two preparations.
If he could help the Lord of Seven Stars kill the Lord of Xingluo, it was naturally easy to take back the Eye of the Emperor Judgment. Of course, this was the most ideal situation. Not only could he obtain a powerful ally, but he could also take back the Eye of the Emperor Judgment.
However, if he could not kill the Lord of Xingluo, then he needed Xiang Zizhen to enter the area where the Eye of the Emperor Judgment was sealed and try to awaken it.
Chen Yuan could only count on Xiang Zizhen on this matter. He could not rely on others. Because only Xiang Zizhen was the most suitable candidate. It was impossible for him to let the experts of the Imperial Domain infiltrate the Xingluo Territory to complete this matter.
The experts of the Imperial Domain could not enter the Xingluo Territory. So he could only find a suitable candidate in the Xingluo Territory to carry out this extremely important mission. This was also the biggest reason why he had taken Xiang Zizhen as his disciple back then. It could be said that he nurtured Xiang Zizhen from the beginning to the end to let Xiang Zizhen take back the sect’s treasure. This was an extremely important chess piece he had set up a long time ago.
He was not sure that Xiang Zizhen would succeed. He had given Xiang Zizhen many important treasures to deal with the taboos and rules of the sealed land, he also gave Xiang Zizhen the key to awakening the Eye of the Emperor Judgment.
However, he knew that it might not succeed.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Zizhen had successfully awakened the Eye of the Emperor Judgment and successfully obtained it. Although he had not been able to rope in the Lord of Seven Stars, as long as he took back the Eye of the Emperor Judgment, the losses on this side were nothing.
“You’re right. I’m indeed inferior to Master in terms of tactics, but as Master’s disciple, it’s enough as long as I can learn a little from Master. On the other hand, your current situation doesn’t seem good.
“All these years, the reason why you were able to get in touch with those Heavenly Kings was none other than because the Eye of the Emperor Judgment happened to be sealed in your domain.
“But now that you don’t have the Eye of the Emperor Judgment, do you think… those Heavenly Kings will continue to care about you?” Chen Yuan smiled.
The Lord of Xingluo’s expression was gloomy. The other party’s words were like a sharp knife that pierced his mind. He knew that the biggest difference between him and the other lords was that in his domain, the sect-protecting treasure of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect was sealed.
This was a demigod-level forbidden treasure that the three Heavenly Kings valued greatly. Unfortunately, he had never been able to obtain this demigod-level forbidden treasure. This was also the reason why he did not make too many arrangements outside the sealed place.
Even if he went in himself, he could not take the Eye of the Emperor Judgment away. Why should he be worried that others would secretly enter and take away the Eye of the Emperor Judgment?
“Without the support of the Heavenly King, I think… it will be difficult for you to transcend and become a Daolord in this lifetime, right?”
Chen Yuan’s words were heart-wrenching.
“Are you done? If you’re done, get lost!” The expression of the Lord of Xingluo was dark.
As he stopped, the Lord of Seven Stars also withdrew his domain in time. After hearing their conversation, the expression of the Lord of Seven Stars was equally ugly. It turned out that he had been a tool and a clown from the beginning to the end.
Chen Yuan laughed. His entire body dissipated in front of the two of them.
The two lords had no intention of continuing the battle. They returned to their respective territories.
“You mean that you want me to tell Master that 1 was the one who brought this sect-protecting treasure out of the sealed land this time and asked me to claim this credit?” Xiang Zizhen frowned. He was not a person who was greedy for credit. Moreover, as companions who had risked their lives with Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi had saved him back then. He could not take the credit that originally belonged to Xiao Shi.
“It’s all the same. If you hadn’t stalled the guards outside, 1 wouldn’t have been able to enter. Actually, it’s not that complicated inside. If you go in, you can also bring out this sect’s treasure. There’s no difference.
“If this credit is attributed to me, when I reach the Imperial Domain, I believe 1 will at most be rewarded with some Martial Soul Realm treasures. However, if it comes down to you, it will be completely different. At that time, the Great Wu Empire will very likely help you break through to the Sage Realm with all their might.
“Of course, I also have some selfish motives. I want to help you become a Sage with all my might first. With you as my backer, when we reach the Imperial Domain, my Red Tiger Sect and I will be able to live a better life.” Xiao Shi persuaded him. His reason did make it difficult for Xiang Zizhen to refuse.
Because he knew the situation in the Imperial Domain was also a little complicated. Although the Imperial Domain could give birth to Sages, not every Martial Demon Realm cultivator in the Imperial Domain could become a Sage.
There was also a limit to the number of slots there. Moreover, he had to obtain the approval of the Great Wu Empire. If he did not have enough merits and contributions, even if he reached the peak of the Martial Demon Realm, the Great Wu Empire might not give him the spot to become a Sage.
If only he could have such a contribution, there was indeed a high chance of obtaining a Sage spot in the Imperial Domain. As long as he became a Sage, he was indeed qualified to be Xiao Shi and the others’ backer. After all, Sages could already be considered lords and overlords in the entire Tianwu Continent.
If the credit this time was on Xiao Shi, the Great Wu Empire would definitely not directly give him a spot as a Sage. In other words, this reward was completely different from Xiao Shi. Only on himself would the value of this reward be maximized.
However, Xiang Zizhen still felt a little awkward. After all, he had done nothing. From the beginning to the end, Xiao Shi completed this mission alone. He also knew that the situation inside was definitely not as easy as Xiao Shi had said. It was definitely extremely dangerous.
Xiang Zizhen did not feel good that the credit for the hardships others had gone through was attributed to him.
Xiao Shi persuaded him for a long time. Although he knew that the credit for completing this matter would definitely be extremely huge, compared to this credit, he wanted to keep a low profile. Especially in a place like the Imperial Domain.
He did not want to enter the eyes of those higher-ups as he had too many secrets. Regardless of whether it was the Emperor’s Equipment or his identity as the Palace Master of the Heavenly Mystery Palace, once he was exposed, no matter how great his contributions were, he would definitely not be able to protect himself.
He felt that he needed to be more low-key than before in the Imperial Domain. He had to hide even deeper behind the scenes. If he received this credit, he would definitely enter the eyes of those higher-ups. It might even attract the attention of experts outside the Imperial Domain.
As a demigod-level forbidden treasure, the news that the Eye of the Emperor Judgment had been taken back by the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect would definitely spread throughout the Tianwu Continent.
By then, once everyone knew that he was the one who caused it. He would become famous in the entire Tianwu Continent and be the center of attention.
Therefore, Xiao Shi could not take this credit no matter what. Even if his identity in the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect had always been that of Wang Xiao, he could not expose this clone to everyone.
Especially after Xiao Shi came into contact with the demigod-level taboo treasure, the Eye of the Emperor Judgment, he discovered that many of his concealments would be directly seen through.
He was worried that once he appeared in the sight of those experts, he would be seen through by them.
Just like Wang Xiao. Although Martial Demon Realm experts could not tell that this was a clone, experts above the Martial Demon Realm might tell that this was a clone. This required him to hide deeper and keep a low profile.
Fortunately, after his continuous persuasion, he finally convinced Xiang Zizhen..
