The Marrow of the Morning Star was finally going to be in his hands. Although he remained composed on the surface, Su Chen couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief inside.
This matter had to be handled quite delicately. The situation on the surface was that the Ancient King needed this Marrow of the Morning Star, and he was rely obtaining it for the Ancient King.
He had to show a desire for it, but not too much of a desire. Otherwise, who knew if that ghost-like Han Xingliu would realize sothing was wrong and cause so unexpected trouble.
Therefore, Su Chen engaged in a minor psychological ga using Lu Huai's departure, while simultaneously acting as if he didn't care.
'If you want to wait, then keep waiting.'
This gave Han Xingliu the feeling that he was expressing dissatisfaction with the Royal Court.
After all, things had already reached this point. It was impossible for him to have a match among the 6th-Tier, yet they were stubbornly dragging it out and refusing to give it to him. Anyone would be uncomfortable.
Looking at it now, the effect was good. This guy hadn't raised any suspicions.
Seeing Su Chen acting with such ease, advancing and retreating at will, Han Xingliu felt sowhat displeased inside. Fortunately, Su Chen had already taken action once, so he could glean so clues to so extent.
But no matter what, he still felt a bit slighted, and he lost the desire to chat idly with Su Chen. His expression withdrew, and he looked toward the door of the conference room.
Su Chen naturally couldn't be bothered to say anything more either. His gaze rested on Qin Tianlin's corpse, his eyes unfocused.
The Marrow of the Morning Star. The others listening secretly couldn't help but be envious. To the Five Great Sects and the Royal Court, it could perhaps only be considered precious.
But to them, it was an absolute treasure. For the Royal Court to bring it out this ti had exceeded many people's expectations. There were rumors saying it was also because of the Bronze Sect. There was no shortage of people itching to act, but looking at it now, it had still fallen into the hands of the Bronze Sect.
Seeing that the two of them were no longer conversing, Xiao Linfeng finally spoke up, "Just now, when I saw Qin Tianlin get attacked, purple flas suddenly erupted around his body. Later, the Bronze Ancient King drew a cluster of Purple Fla from his corpse."
"Hearing what King Peng said, that fla seems to be what Venerable Qin Yun brought out from the Lost Starfire, and it's heavily focused upon by the Ancient Kings and several Morning Star Venerables."
His tone carried a probing nature, and the others from various factions in the Dust Star Sea also cast their gazes over.
At this point, Xiao Linfeng added another sentence, "It seems to also involve so Blazing Sun Tier Chosen. Does that Lost Starfire harbor a Blazing Sun Tier profession?"
His tone sounded casual, but his gaze was burning. He ca from the Longriver Clan, which was considered a relatively powerful faction beneath the Sects and the Royal Court. Currently, there were two Morning Star Tiers existing simultaneously within the clan, which was considered a relatively prosperous period.
But even so, they didn't have the qualifications to know about the Lost Starfire; they had only heard faint rumors.
The major factions in the Dust Star Sea had always been speculating about that Lost Starfire, believing it might involve the Blazing Sun Tier, but there had never been any accurate news.
Hearing these words, Han Xingliu's eyes flickered. The incident just now had happened so suddenly that neither he nor King Peng had paid attention to these people, inadvertently exposing so information.
"This..." A look of hesitation appeared on Han Xingliu's face, and he said with so helplessness, "I'm not too clear on the specific details either. To be frank with you all, although I am the Emperor's son, I am too young after all."
"As for what King Peng just said, why don't you all wait until King Peng cos out and ask him yourselves?"
Hearing this, naturally no one present believed him. Xiao Linfeng even chuckled lightly, "How could we have the qualifications to question King Peng? However, I've already relayed the news to the elders in my clan. Let them ask King Peng instead."
'How are your hands so fast?' Han Xingliu was speechless. No wonder he saw Xiao Linfeng constantly fiddling with his communicator earlier; he was secretly sending a ssage.
'Is this out of fear that we'd silence them?' Han Xingliu gave a smile with an indiscernible aning. "That works too."
The Longriver Clan was indeed remarkable, but without Ancient King-level combat power, they ultimately lacked the qualifications to get involved with the Spirit of the Vast Sun.
Dual Divine Dawn reached the threshold. If Xiao Linfeng had the chance to go in, there might actually be so hope. What a pity.
On second thought, he felt sowhat thankful. Fortunately, the Royal Court had always been exploring thods to advance to Divine Dawn postnatally.
Otherwise, he probably wouldn't even be able to et the threshold.
'I hope it's just as the research institute said, and the Profound Heaven Instrunt can serve as the final puzzle piece.'
Thinking of this, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at Su Chen standing to the side, and his mood inexplicably improved a lot. He could still borrow the Royal Court's power to attempt a tamorphosis.
But Su Chen didn't have such a good opportunity; he didn't even have the chance to co into contact with the Spirit of the Vast Sun.
Seeing Han Xingliu's nonchalant manner, his gaze sweeping around, Xiao Linfeng's expression withdrew. He had actually hoped the other party would show so anger or even make threatening remarks.
'The Royal Court only has eyes for the Five Great Sects...' He sighed inwardly.
The people outside the door all had their own thoughts, while the nurous Morning Star Tiers inside the room didn't show much surprise upon hearing Hao Ri admit that he wasn't a Professional from the Dust Star Sea.
"The Nether Mist isolates the Starry Expanse. Due to Starfire or other reasons, by so stroke of coincidence, there might also be an expanse of pure land in certain places."
"However, it is difficult for even a Morning Star Tier to be born in those places, let alone a Blazing Sun Tier."
"Your Excellency, the scale of the place you hail from must be quite large, right?" King Peng's words carried a probing tone. The coverage area of the Dust Star Sea had always been shrinking. Although very slowly, it was indeed shrinking.
And attempting to pierce through the Nether Mist to explore further reaches was incredibly difficult. It wasn't that they hadn't tried, but those sent out had all disappeared without a trace.
"I am rely Spirit Shards and do not possess related mories," Hao Ri answered thusly.
Qi Heng wasn't quite convinced and pressed, "You don't rember anything at all?"
"Believe it or not, it is up to you."
It was this phrase again. Qi Heng frowned and fell silent.
King Peng followed up closely and asked, "True Radiance Tier Talent sits above Divine Dawn Grade Talent. Currently, there is not a single example of it in the Dust Star Sea. May I ask how one might co to possess it?"
"Whether one can possess it or not depends entirely on luck. True Radiance Tier Talent possesses all sorts of bizarre innate Class Traits, and in essence, it is inherited from a Radiant Moon Tier Professional," Hao Ri explained.
"Inherited from a Radiant Moon Tier Professional..." Everyone looked thoughtful. This aligned with so of the information they had gathered.
For powerful lifeforms, the average level of their descendants would naturally be higher. Divine Dawn Talent inherited the Morning Star Tier's ability to ignite Morning Fire.
True Radiance Talent, on the other hand, inherited a certain Class Trait from the Radiant Moon Tier, making them innately stronger than others.
"Then what would a Blazing Sun Tier inherit?" King Peng was quite concerned about this, as the Royal Court had always been researching in this direction.
"That, I do not know."
The Bronze Ancient King suddenly spoke up: "I once possessed the condition you spoke of as well. I could use a data-driven thod to intuitively display physical attributes."
"However, I never felt any substantial improvent in my own talent, nor did I find my advancent speed surpassing other Divine Dawn Grade Talent possessors."
Hao Ri's voice was very calm: "You are mistaken. True Radiance Tier possesses this trait, but possessing this trait does not an one is True Radiance Tier. Your luck was rely slightly better, but not that good."
'Higher than Divine Dawn, but not reaching True Radiance? That seems to make sense,' everyone pondered.
After gaining a clear understanding of True Radiance Tier Talent, King Peng brought the topic back: "Your Excellency just said you could help us easily enter that Lost Starfire. What thod is there?"
"Draw the Spirit of the Vast Sun out."
"Draw it out?" Everyone was surprised. "Since it can be drawn out, is there still a need to enter that Lost Starfire?"
Hao Ri then further explained: "What I an by drawing it out is not truly drawing it out, but rely attracting the attention of the Spirit of the Vast Sun and picking a few qualified ones to beco the Recognized."
"With these Recognized leading the way, the aggressiveness of the Spirit of the Vast Sun will be lowered, allowing for a relatively easier entry into the Lost Starfire."
So that was how it was. Hearing this, everyone felt sowhat astonished. "According to what you say, how do we draw it out, and how do we find those qualified to be recognized?"
Hao Ri remained vague. "Drawing out the attention of the Spirit of the Vast Sun requires expending a massive price and is quite complicated. It's not sothing that can be explained clearly in a few words. The specific steps will be discussed when it is decided to be implented."
"As for those qualified to be recognized."
At this point, Hao Ri paused before continuing, "The Spirit of the Vast Sun is far from comparable to ordinary Professional Spirituality. This Peak Star Tournant of yours happens to be a fateful encounter, with quite a few Divine Dawn Talent possessors present. Perhaps we can utilize this opportunity."
King Peng frowned, puzzled. "Didn't you just say that the Spirit of the Vast Sun has no age or tier restrictions? Why do you want these young people to try?"
"You all can try as well. You can bring everyone you can find. I have no objections, but I must offer a word of advice."
"The drawn-out spiritual attention will only give birth to the Recognized. To beco a Chosen is not that simple."
Hao Ri's voice was indifferent. "If you let all those Ancient Kings enter now, it would be fine if all of them gained recognition. But if none of them gained recognition, or perhaps only one did, have you thought about what the result would be?"
Hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but fall silent. If that situation truly arose, even if a fight didn't break out imdiately, it would be pretty close to one.
"Therefore, I advise you not to let the Radiant Moon Tier Professionals enter so early."
Everyone remained noncommittal. King Peng looked at the Bronze Ancient King again. "Ancient King, we must still report this matter to the other Ancient Kings and the Emperor."
"Mm." The Bronze Ancient King nodded, while the few Morning Star Tiers stood in place without moving.
Seeing everyone's gazes converging on him, King Peng could only bite the bullet and say, "However, how should we handle this Excellency Hao Ri?"
Although this place was the Bronze Sect's territory, they wouldn't feel at ease if Hao Ri was guarded solely by the Bronze Sect.
The Bronze Ancient King naturally saw through everyone's thoughts. He pointed a finger, and the void around Hao Ri rippled. Data light streams transford into an Energy Barrier, enveloping it within.
"This Hao Ri shall be guarded jointly by everyone."
He didn't make a fuss over this matter. Qin Yun's previous concealnt was already troubleso enough, and the Bronze Ancient King didn't want the sect to truly beco the target of all arrows.
Seeing this, the others collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
King Peng imdiately said, "Since that is the case, then for this item, at least ensure that two Morning Star Tiers from different factions guard it together at all tis."
The others naturally had no objections. This discussion ca to a temporary close. The information obtained from Hao Ri had to be further reported to the various Ancient Kings and the Emperor.
As for exactly what to do next, another round of discussion would be required.
Soon, the Profound Heaven Sect and True Martial Sect remained here as the first round of guards.
The Bronze Ancient King glanced at Qin Yun, who had remained silent the entire ti. He shook his head imperceptibly, and his body abruptly vanished.
The others pushed open the door and walked out one after another.
Outside the door, pairs of eyes imdiately looked over, harboring probing gazes, all very curious about what exactly they had discussed.
Qin Yun kept his head lowered, his expression dark and unreadable, and walked straight toward where everyone was gathered.
Su Chen hurriedly retreated behind Qing Cang, watching this Venerable walk up to Qin Tianlin's corpse, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long while, Qin Tianlin's corpse floated up and vanished along with Qin Yun.
During this process, everyone else held their breath, and the hall fell dead silent. This was, after all, the pain of losing a grandson, and a good grandson with Divine Dawn Grade Talent at that.
It might also involve Qin Yun's future sches. To him, this dead grandson of his had very likely been a future Blazing Sun Tier.
The sorrow and bitterness in this Venerable's heart could be easily imagined. No one dared to touch a raw nerve at this ti.
It wasn't until Qin Yun disappeared that the atmosphere gradually eased.
When Han Xingliu was about to leave, he invited Su Chen again. This ti, the reason was to go fetch the Marrow of the Morning Star.
"No need," Su Chen continued to refuse. "I already said, there's no rush for this matter. Your Excellency can just send soone to deliver it."
"No rush..." Hearing this, Han Xingliu felt stifled inside. He didn't know if this guy was truly not in a rush, or if he was worried about sothing.
This was the Bronze Sect's territory; it was impossible for him to make a move against him anyway.
Being rejected twice, Han Xingliu beca increasingly dissatisfied inside, but he didn't show it on his face.
He rely said indifferently, "Rest assured, I will send soone to deliver the item to Your Excellency as soon as possible."
Everyone left this place one after another. The brows of the several Morning Star Tiers were tightly furrowed, and they seed to be in a hurry.
"Leaving so hastily, they are likely off to report to the Ancient Kings and the Emperor. I wonder what specific details were discussed." Qing Cang stared at their retreating backs and said in a low voice:
"That cluster of Purple Fla drawn from Qin Tianlin's body vaguely contained Spirit Shards. I wonder if they obtained any new information."
"It actually contained Spirit Shards?" Su Chen followed behind, feigning astonishnt.
"Without Qin Tianlin's ntal Core acting as a cover, it could be seen at a glance." Qing Cang's brows furrowed tightly.
"Couldn't you just ask the Ancient King directly later?" Su Chen had already followed Qing Cang out of the building.
The outside world was extrely noisy and prosperous, with people coming and going, and flight vehicles whistling past overhead. This was not Dragon Abyss, but Cloud Dragon Star.
"If Master wanted to tell , he would naturally summon ." Qing Cang shook his head, taking Su Chen to the nearest flight vehicle station and having a flight vehicle temporarily dispatched for the two of them to use.
Just before boarding the flight vehicle, Qing Cang's footsteps suddenly paused. His expression condensed slightly, and he stopped in his tracks.
Seeing that Qing Cang hadn't followed, Su Chen looked back. Seeing his expression, he knew that the Ancient King was likely communicating with him.
After a mont, Qing Cang respectfully responded with a "Yes."
Imdiately after, his gaze fell on Su Chen. "Master wants you to go see him. It should be to talk about the matters they just discussed."
Su Chen nodded and said, "Then Senior Brother can go about his business; I can head back myself."
