Ning Xuan said, "Use the Scorching Sun Storm."
The Scorching Sun Storm was originally Shentu Yan's Primordial Dao Xuan Technique. After Si Lanyi obtained it at Li Ren Du, it had already undergone multiple evolutions. At Ning Xuan's command, Si Lanyi took imdiate action. The temperature in the once-chilly chamber surged. However, the Scorching Sun Storm, capable of lting steel and boiling rivers, was completely ineffective against the coffin lid.
Si Lanyi looked toward Ning Xuan.
"Evolve it into a sun and have it hang high in the sky…"
Si Lanyi instantly did as she was told. And so, Yuan Yurong beca a tool. At Ning Xuan's command, she held up the coffin lid, constantly adjusting its angle.
"Stop!"
The mont Ning Xuan spoke, his 'tool' imdiately executed the command. This 'tool', however, was clearly unhappy.
Why did we stop? It's so rare for the Young Master to order around so casually! I wish this would never end. That way, there's no risk of him abandoning !
Fortunately, none of the younger disciples from the Su Yue Zhuai were present. Otherwise, so of them might have beco depressed enough to commit suicide. After all, within the Su Yue Zhuai, Yuan Yurong was a lofty, unapproachable fairy. Many of them weren't even worthy of a passing glance. Yet here, she had willingly debased herself, humbling herself to the level of dust. It was infuriating.
Yuan Yurong, however, quickly composed herself. I can't afford any negative thoughts, or I'll lose even the chance to help!
CRACK!
A crisp sound suddenly rang out. The seemingly unremarkable coffin lid actually contained a hidden chanism. A mont later, a recess appeared before them. Inside lay a Jade Box.
The design on its surface was grand and extraordinary, depicting the sun and moon hanging high in the sky while ancient people knelt in devout worship. A wave of imperial Majestic Pressure washed over them. Anyone else would have already fallen to their knees to kowtow. Even Yun Wangshu let out a pained grunt. She was injured the instant she tried to resist the imperial Majestic Pressure.
Ning Xuan, however, seed completely unaffected. He stepped forward, positioning himself between Yun Wangshu and the Jade Box. Yun Wangshu imdiately felt her heart ease.
Ning Xuan then reached out and took the Jade Box. After opening it, he casually tossed the box aside.
Yuan Yurong didn't even have ti to look at what Ning Xuan held; her gaze instinctively followed the Jade Box. When it finally stopped rolling, she asked eagerly, "Young Master, may I have the Jade Box?"
This Jade Box was an absolute treasure! Even in the Su Yue Zhuai, it would be considered among the most precious items in their entire collection. And Ning Xuan had just thrown it away!
"Be my guest."
The words had barely left Ning Xuan's mouth before Yuan Yurong was tightly hugging the Jade Box, a silly smile plastered on her face. I've struck it rich!
She imdiately stowed it in her Storage Ring with lightning speed. If anyone else saw this treasure, they would surely attack her for it, regardless of her status. After hiding it safely, she glanced in the direction the others had gone. Seeing no one around, Yuan Yurong finally let out a long sigh of relief. Only then did she finally have a mont to look at the object in Ning Xuan's hand.
But the instant she turned her gaze in his direction…
THUD!
An inexplicable Majestic Pressure bore down on her, forcing her to her knees. She couldn't even raise her head. It was as if a supre, unparalleled king stood before her, and in his presence, she was as insignificant as an ant.
"Ah, is this a Jade Seal?!" the little doll's voice suddenly rang out.
All the Majestic Pressure instantly vanished. Yuan Yurong collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath. Looking at Ning Xuan's hand, she saw a crystal-clear Jade Seal. Just now, that imperial Majestic Pressure had co from this very object.
"The Jade Seal of the first Human Emperor! I heard he obtained it before he even ascended to the throne, and it was nourished by seven hundred years of Emperor Dragon Qi—this is a supre treasure!" Yuan Yurong exclaid, deeply moved.
Ning Xuan just smiled without a word. If this Jade Seal were rely what Yuan Yurong described, I wouldn't even give it a second glance. The mont I held it, I realized how extraordinary it was. The one who could truly unite the world wasn't the first Human Emperor, but this Jade Seal! In other words, whoever possesses this seal can conquer the world. It possesses a power that is mysterious and unfathomable. Forget a normal person; it could allow even an idiot to ascend to the supre apex! But there's no need to let outsiders know any of this.
He nodded. "Correct. To , this little thing is far more precious than any Human Emperor Scripture!"
This was the truth. After all, with the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Scripture in his possession, every other cultivation secret was utter trash.
Ning Xuan stored the seal in his Storage Ring and said, "Let's go. Nothing else here is worth ntioning…"
Before he could finish, he glanced toward the path where the others had left. Soon, his companions also heard the sound of approaching footsteps. In an instant, several powerful experts appeared. Each one was wounded, yet their expressions were electric with excitent. These weren't the losers from the earlier scramble for treasure; they were the victors. They had been the last ones standing in the chaotic free-for-all.
The wisest choice would have been to leave imdiately. But when Ning Xuan failed to appear after so ti, they grew suspicious. They realized he must have found an even more incredible treasure! How outrageous! What right did he have? Without a single word exchanged between them, they reached a consensus and acted, leading to the current standoff.
"Ning Xuan, the treasures here are not for you to touch! Hand them over!"
"That's right! Hand them over, and we'll let you live!"
"But the little girl has to stay behind!"
The allure of the supre treasure Ning Xuan had obtained, combined with a Nine-Orifice Exquisite Heart, was more than enough for them to risk everything.
"You all just obtained the first Human Emperor's inheritance, didn't you? Haven't had ti to look through it yet? Why don't you do that first? You should probably practice with it for a while before we continue this conversation."
Ning Xuan's words first stunned them, then sent them into a rage.
"What's that supposed to an?!"
"How dare you look down on our strength?!"
They stared at Ning Xuan, their eyes filled with disbelief. All of them were veterans who had been cultivating in the King Realm for a long ti. Ning Xuan had only just entered the King Realm, yet he dared to be so arrogant?
Seeing that he seed to have provoked public outrage, Ning Xuan chuckled. "That's not what I ant. I was just saying that you all are…"
Before Ning Xuan could finish, one of them cut him off, "You think we're all trash?!"
"Those were your words, not mine." Ning Xuan held up his hands with an innocent look on his face.
"Fuck!" the man roared, launching his attack.
BANG!
The mont he moved, strange ripples froze him in place, and his body exploded. Strangely, there was no spray of blood and gore. The resulting blood mist was contained within a peculiar barrier.
The one who had attacked was Si Lanyi. She had naturally used her Primordial Dao Xuan Technique, Sea Moon Mutual Tide Life.
"It's only been a few days, but your Dao Xuan Technique, Sea Moon Mutual Tide Life, has improved so quickly!" Ning Xuan said, his voice laced with pleasant surprise.
A smile blossod on Si Lanyi's face. Receiving Ning Xuan's approval filled her heart with a sweetness like honey.
It was a good thing the instructors from the Dao Xuan Institute hadn't followed them. They would have been absolutely infuriated. On more than one occasion, they had praised Si Lanyi with heartfelt sincerity at the institute, only to be t with her icy deanor. Now, a single casual word from Ning Xuan elicited such a joyful reaction from her.
The comparison was simply maddening.
