Chapter 1249: Chapter 500: Assertive and Overbearing (Part 2)
Thus, I shall offer up a Second-tier Star Domain, and those who slay this Dachen Ying Ge will gain half of the annual inco from this Second-tier Star Domain.”
“Majesty’s might is awe-inspiring, I am willing to fight!”
“Your Majesty, I am willing to fight.”
…
The voices volunteering to fight rang out once again, causing the Dahong Emperor to burst into laughter as he observed the scene.
In his heart, however, there arose a trace of helplessness.
He had worked diligently for so many years to cultivate such montum, but unexpectedly, he must now face…
It was at this mont that Xu Jin’s untily voice echoed.
“Why must the Emperor be so stingy?”
Upon hearing this, the Dahong Emperor looked towards Xu Jin, and all the Dahong nobility glared at Xu Jin.
“Emperor, to only reward your Dahong subjects, isn’t that too stingy!
Why don’t we make the stakes bigger?” Xu Jin suggested.
The Dahong Emperor gestured with his hand, indicating that his ministers need not be so upset, and he asked with a smile, “Oh, what would that entail?”
“Emperor, why not have our Dachen also put up a Second-tier Star Domain, combining the two Second-tier Star Domains?
Whichever nation’s subjects win, the two Second-tier Star Domains would go to that country, what do you think?” Xu Jin proposed.
“Oh?
If soone offers a Second-tier Star Domain to us Dahong, how could I refuse to accept it?
However, given the gravity of the matter, Xu Minister is rely an envoy, can you make such a decision?” Dahong Emperor questioned.
“In this matter, please be assured, Emperor.”
As he spoke, Xu Jin directly took out a token imprinted with the seals of National Master Cheng Yuxiao and the new Dachen ruler, saying, “Emperor, here’s the Golden Order from the Dachen Imperial Decree, my decision is equivalent to that of National Master Cheng Yuxiao!”
As soon as the token appeared, the Dahong Emperor’s Divine Thought descended, and upon sensing it clearly, he was taken aback.
Even the Great Elder of Tianyang Star Hall, Wang Kan, was similarly astonished.
They had not anticipated that this small envoy, Xu Jin, would receive such high-level support!
His authority was almost equivalent to the National Master of Dachen.
Yet in the eyes of the Dahong Emperor, this was a favorable turn of events.
Though Xu Jin had told him of his own significance earlier that morning, the Dahong Emperor remained skeptical.
After all, it was sothing spoken without proof.
But now, this Golden Order from Dachen confird everything.
It demonstrated that Xu Jin’s true status in Dachen surpassed what he had told the Emperor.
To be entrusted with such a token showed that Cheng Yuxiao’s regard for Xu Jin had reached unprecedented levels.
Now, the Dahong Emperor was sowhat convinced that Xu Jin was indeed the chosen successor by National Master Cheng Yuxiao.
Admittedly, not even one’s own child would likely receive such treatnt.
The Emperor’s mind was further at ease.
Nevertheless, the Dahong Emperor still wanted to test a thing or two, and with a re glance, the Heavenly Official from the Ministry of Rites, Shi Zhengjia, rose and spoke, “Majesty, this matter is of great importance, re words are insufficient.
A Second-tier Star Domain is valued comparable to several counties.
Why don’t we request Dachen to send over the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Second-tier Star Domain they intend to wager, and we Dahong will provide ours as well?
When the ti cos, the victorious nation will gain the two Second-tier Star Domains.”
“These words are quite agreeable to . However, Dachen is quite distant, and sending the Heaven and Earth Authority of a Second-tier Star Domain would require so ti.” Dahong Emperor said.
“Emperor, there’s no need to worry about this!
I shall order our Dahong Star-picking Tower Master to make an exception, as long as the Dachen Mission can truly have National Master Cheng Yuxiao send over the Second-tier Star Domain’s Heaven and Earth Authority.
Allow the sender to directly transmit from Dachen’s Star-picking Tower Master to Dahong’s Star-picking Tower Master, arriving instantly without any delay.” Tianyang Star Hall’s Great Elder, Wang Kan, said.
“Indeed, that is quite swift.” With these words, the Dahong Emperor looked towards Xu Jin, “Xu Minister, is this feasible?
If it’s not, we Dahong won’t force it!”
“Hehe, since the Emperor has approved, it will definitely work.
Emperor, please wait a mont, I’ve notified the National Master, and the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Second-tier Star Domain will be sent promptly.” Xu Jin said.
Upon hearing this, the Dahong Emperor’s heart was stirred.
If true, then Xu Jin’s significance at National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s place is truly substantial.
“While we wait, why doesn’t the Emperor set the rules for this Life and Death Arena?” Xu Jin suggested.
“Naturally.”
Dahong believes in certain victory, given they are in the ho field and the participants are arranged by them, so they are confident.
Thus, regarding the rules, fairness is prioritized.
And since it is a Life and Death Arena, the rules are straightforward, with not many restrictions.
First rule: At the comncent of the battle, the Martial Arts space will rise via a Martial Arts Space Array, and once risen, it can only be exited, not entered. That is, once the Martial Arts Space Array has risen, no external force can intervene in this Life and Death Arena.
Second rule: Emblems cannot be used, Seven-Star Spiritual Treasures are prohibited, if used, the imdiate result is defeat.
Third rule: The cultivation level of Ying Ge, the initiator of the Life and Death Arena, is Fifth Tier Sixth Layer, hence the Dafong challengers are limited to Fifth Tier.
Apart from these three rules, there are no restrictions.
Both sides agreed to the three rules.
Dafong then began the selection process.
Since the Heaven and Earth Authority from Dachen had not yet arrived, Dahong had ample ti to decide on their participants.
Ying Ge’s various data, characteristics of Star Skills, were fully presented before the Dahong high council to decide challengers based on these traits.
Although Dahong appeared relaxed outwardly, they were actually very cautious.
Xu Jin is not a fool, and neither is the Dachen National Master.
Therefore, this Ying Ge must have so extraordinary aspects, necessitating careful preparation.
After multiple rounds of selection, Dahong chose three challengers at the peak of Fifth Tier Ninth Layer.
One ca from Dahong nobility, while the other two were disciples from Tianyang Star Hall.
Regarding their achievents and combat power, they had records of slaying Late Sixth Tier opponents.
They are top-tier talents from Dahong!
anwhile, Ying Ge’s cultivation level is only at Fifth Tier Sixth Layer.
The odds of victory should be seventy to eighty percent or more.
“Let the Luo Yang King’s son, Luo Wei, fight.”
The Dahong Emperor reviewed the proposed nas from various sectors, including the list sent by Tianyang Star Hall’s Great Elder, Wang Kan, and after thorough consideration, made the final decision.
If Luo Yang King’s son wins, the two Second-tier Star Domains would belong to Dahong.
Conversely, if a Star Hall disciple wins, they would fall under the Star Hall’s domain.
Although both Dahong nobility and Star Hall disciples are Dahong people, there is a distinction between them.
“Report to the Emperor, Dong Zhao, the Academician of Dachen National Taoist Institute, requests an audience.” Suddenly, a eunuch stepped forward to announce, indicating the arrival of the Dachen envoy bearing the Heaven and Earth Authority.
“Let him enter.”
Xu Jin saw Dong Zhao coming and was sowhat surprised, not expecting the Mountain Master to arrive personally.
However, for Dahong, this was more ordinary.
A Sixth Layer Ninth Tier Peak Academician of Dachen National Taoist Institute is only so remarkable.
“Academician Dong, have you brought the Heaven and Earth Authority?”
In the next mont, Dong Zhao cupped his hands and said, “Emperor, I have indeed brought it!”
“Oh, then produce it for us to see.”
“Certainly.”
In the next mont, they saw Dong Zhao flip his hand, revealing a row of six Heaven and Earth Authorities suddenly appearing before everyone, each affixed with a Jade, containing Star Domain marks and specific Star Domain auras.
Only when the two are paired can the Star Domain be genuinely obtained.
Otherwise, rely holding the Heaven and Earth Authority leaves you unaware of which Star Domain it belongs to, without the Star Domain Mark, it’s pointless.
As for trying?
Billions of stars?
If relying on trial, how many years or months will it take to achieve?
The appearance of six Heaven and Earth Authorities astonished the Dahong ruler and ministers, causing great surprise.
Having requested one, they delivered six sets of Heaven and Earth Authorities for six Star Domains.
“Academician Dong, what does this an?” the Dahong Emperor asked in confusion.
Upon hearing this, Dong Zhao smiled and looked at Xu Jin, “Emperor, fearing one Star Domain might not suffice for Xu Jin’s wager, our Dachen National Master ordered to send three Second-tier Star Domains and three Third-tier Star Domains for Xu Jin to wager freely.
It is also intended to delight the Emperor!”
As he spoke, Dong Zhao had already handed the six Heaven and Earth Authorities to Xu Jin, while keeping the corresponding Jade and Star Domain Marks for himself!
In an instant, the Dahong ruler and ministers fell silent.
This Cheng Yuxiao, or rather, this Xu Jin, seems excessively extravagant!
Six Star Domains, just put up for wagering?
Is this extravagance?
Or supre confidence?
“Emperor, since so many have been provided by the National Master, I shall increase the stakes, does the Emperor dare accept?” Xu Jin took the six Heaven and Earth Authorities and smiled with confidence.
