Wen Ping's Earthly Cyan Lotus Body unexpectedly devoured the Celestial Wave Flame, reaching the Great Success Realm and significantly boosting his strength and defense. This revelation led him to plan on devouring more Spirit Fires. Upon leaving the Pill Tower, he was informed by a new disciple that an urgent matter required his attention. Chen Xie relayed that a Sovereign proposed a deal involving the future of several factions, including the Immortal Sect. Wen Ping rejected the offer and decided to meet Prince Longyang that night.

"Elder Yun, how have you been?"

Prince Longyang greeted Yun Liao upon exiting the Teleportation Array, and after a few polite exchanges, Yun Liao led him towards Tingyu Pavilion.

However, their mouths did not stay idle along the way.

"Elder Yun, my late night visit won’t disturb Sect Leader Wen’s cultivation, will it?"

Yun Liao responded, "No, it won’t."

"That’s good." Prince Longyang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled, "By the way, Elder Yun, the final battle of the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking has been set, and it will be announced in a few days. It’s two months from now, in the You Country’s capital. There might even be beings above the Celestial Unrestricted level coming to watch."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reminder. I will definitely prepare well."

Although Yun Liao wasn’t particularly interested in the rewards from You Country, he was quite fond of the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking competition.

For no other reason.

Because it could promote magic.

And also because it could enhance the prestige of the Immortal Sect.

As an elder, this was what he cared about the most, and he was not concerned about winning the championship or not.

Prince Longyang continued to ask some questions, and even tried, intentionally or not, to forge a closer relationship with Yun Liao, even wanting to introduce his granddaughter to him, with particular enthusiasm.

In response to this enthusiasm, Yun Liao repeatedly declined, and eventually, after bringing Prince Longyang to the foot of Tingyu Pavilion, quickly slipped away.

When Prince Longyang ascended Tingyu Pavilion, he saw Wen Ping waiting outside and quickly approached him in a few steps.

"Sect Leader Wen, it’s been some time, and your aura has become more profound and stronger than ever."

Wen Ping smiled gently and welcomed him to the pavilion at the edge of Tingyu Pavilion’s mountain, where he poured two cups of tea brewed with Spiritual Water. The intention was simply to enjoy some tea and engage in conversation, perhaps do some light talk about the world.

But as soon as the tea was poured, Prince Longyang took out half an orange-yellow Jade Scroll from his Storage Ring, covered with words. Wen Ping merely glanced at it but could already sense its extraordinary nature.

"Sect Leader Wen, this is a Vein Technique accidentally obtained from the Primordial Nether Realm before. Although it’s incomplete, even this incomplete part is on par with most Celestial Level top-grade Vein Skills. So, I suspect it may be beyond the Celestial Level. I noticed you, Sect Leader Wen, also practice swordsmanship, and since I can’t cultivate it, I specially brought it here."

After saying this, Prince Longyang placed it in front of Wen Ping without delving more into its content.

But the mere mention of ’beyond Celestial Level’ alone was more potent than a vast amount of empty words.

"Wasn’t it already discussed earlier..."

When Wen Ping got halfway through his sentence, Prince Longyang hurried to change the topic.

Prince Longyang quickly said, "Sect Leader Wen, this isn’t a gift, it’s not. It’s merely a friendly gesture. You see, I just drank a cup of your tea; wouldn’t it be inappropriate to come empty-handed? If I didn’t bring anything and word got out, where would my dignity go?"

"One cup of tea, for a Celestial Level top-grade Vein Technique? Fine, you should drink two more cups." Wen Ping was speechless, so he simply poured Prince Longyang two more cups of tea.

Changing the explanation didn’t mean it wasn’t a gift anymore?

"Good tea!"

Prince Longyang drank two consecutive cups.

Then he retrieved two more items from his Storage Ring.

However, even before Wen Ping could take a clear look, he promptly stopped him, "If you take out anything more, I’ll send you back."

"No, no, no, Sect Leader Wen. This truly isn’t a gift. It’s merely part of my collection, and I brought it here for your appreciation, definitely not as a gift!" Saying this, Prince Longyang took out the two items from his Storage Ring.

The first item was a sword.

Not a delicate creation of a Vortex Divine Artisan, but a long sword seemingly carved out from a piece of exquisitely beautiful blue-white crystal stone.

A thousand years.

At least a thousand-year-old Blue-White Ice.

And certainly more than a thousand years.

Because a thousand-year-old Blue-White Ice isn’t so pure, its surface would inevitably be slightly blackened.

The second item, however, was a fist-sized piece of Blue-White Ice.

Compared to the sword just now, the color of this Blue-White Ice was even more special, with a white exterior, a sky-blue interior, and a peculiar dark blue dot at its core.

"Sect Leader Wen, the Blue-White Ice is the hardest celestial material treasure in this world. Not only is it rare, but the larger and older it gets, the rarer it becomes. While this sword might not be as special as a Vortex Killing Artifact from the Purple Treasure Pavilion, its unparalleled hardness is its strength, unable to be shaken even by powers above Celestial Unrestricted."

"Are you sure they’re for appraisal?"

Wen Ping didn’t believe such absurd talk about appraisal.

However, Prince Longyang insisted, "Yes, yes, of course. And this piece of Blue-White Ice Ice Soul, with an age exceeding three thousand years, could significantly multiply one’s cultivation speed!"

After a brief explanation, Prince Longyang asked, "Sect Leader Wen, what do you think of these two treasures?"

"They’re okay."

This sword, compared to the Cyan Lotus Sword, could only be considered okay.

As for the Blue-White Ice’s Ice Soul, compared to the time flow in the special buildings within the Immortal Sect, could also just be considered okay.

Okay.

That’s his best evaluation of these two items.

Though he wasn’t impressed by these items, it didn’t mean their value was low.

Without exception, both items were indeed invaluable treasures.

If it were to be auctioned, it would start at at least one hundred million White Crystals, and each bid increase should be no less than fifty million White Crystals.

As for the final selling price, it entirely depends on the number of Upper Realm experts who attend.

When the conversation continued for a few sentences, Prince Longyang finally exposed his original "ambition", "Sect Leader Wen, in fact, these two little trinkets are not much needed by this king either, leaving them there would just gather dust."

"A poor excuse."

Wen Ping, faced with Prince Longyang’s eagerness to give him something, was at a loss for words.

Not needed at all?

Are you above Celestial Unrestricted?

At Heaven-Gazing Gorge, besides him and the members of the Immortal Sect, who dares to say they don’t need them?

"Sect Leader Wen, earlier this king drank two precious teas of your sect which are rare treasures, there should be a return gift, shouldn’t there? Otherwise, if this gets out, others would think that I am stingy." Prince Longyang once again acted the same charade.

After speaking, he got up to leave.

Not planning to continue the conversation any further.

Wen Ping, seeing this, smiled helplessly and then said, "Alright, stop acting, I’ll accept the items. However, I definitely won’t take His Highness’s things for free."

"Hahaha, it’s good that you accepted them. Your sect being able to slay Lie Yao with two swords has already helped this king a lot, coming empty-handed would’ve made me embarrassed to visit. After pondering, there seems to be nothing at Heaven-Gazing Gorge that can tempt Sect Leader Wen, so I brought these two treasures acquired from the Primordial Nether Realm left by Celestial Unrestricted experts. Sect Leader Wen, please don’t stand on ceremony, between us, there is no need to be particular about exchanges."

"Not interested in Sima Tianxuan’s news either?"

The smile on Prince Longyang’s face instantly froze.

Not interested?

He was very much interested!

Wen Ping continued, "He is a person of the King of Harmony and Sorrow."

"Actually a person of the King of Harmony and Sorrow!"

Prince Longyang has lately been curious why Sima Tianxuan suddenly stood out to negate the Celestial Ranking.

Though the reasons are well-founded, why not sooner or later, but precisely when Celestial Nether King and the others were trying to tarnish the Celestial Ranking?

He considered that he might be a person of the Celestial Nether King.

But never thought he was a person of the King of Harmony and Sorrow.

Because the King of Harmony and Sorrow has always been very low-profile, although he also recruits forces, in terms of real combat, he ranks the least among them.

Sometimes he would even lose on purpose, appearing as if he didn’t want to escalate things, sometimes seeming hesitant and timid.

Turns out all of this was a façade.

He’s really good at acting.

Acted for over a hundred years!

"Sect Leader Wen, may I use my second opportunity?"

Wen Ping nodded, "Of course."

Wen Ping was looking forward to Prince Longyang using all three opportunities.

With murderous intent in his eyes, Prince Longyang said, "Sect Leader Wen, I don’t want Sima Tianxuan to continue living. Once Sima Tianxuan is dead, I can find a way to replace him! With him around, at the Divine Shadow Army, no one can intervene!"

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

Lie Yao’s death made Prince Longyang certain that the Immortal Sect has methods to neutralize the Sealing King’s life-saving techniques. Therefore, Prince Longyang can only pin this hope on the Immortal Sect.

Following this, Prince Longyang said, "Sect Leader Wen, by then, this king will lure him to the Immortal Sect and dispatch two Sealing Kings to assist you, just to ensure nothing goes wrong!"

"No need to send anyone, as long as you can lure him to the Immortal Sect and provide the Immortal Sect with a legitimate reason to kill him!"

Actually, even if Prince Longyang didn’t say it, Wen Ping was quite eager to meet Sima Tianxuan.

He wanted to see how strong he was to have the courage to challenge the Celestial Ranking, and to falsely accuse the Immortal Sect of using the Celestial Ranking as a vain show.

"Rest assured, Sect Leader Wen, leave this matter to this king!"

Saying this, Prince Longyang immediately got up intending to leave, and without saying much before departing, after a few polite words, he swiftly left the Immortal Sect.

It seemed he was eager to kill Sima Tianxuan, and went on to prepare.

Seeing this, Wen Ping put away the gift left by Prince Longyang and continued cultivating.

As long as Prince Longyang can provide the Immortal Sect with a legitimate opportunity to act, Wen Ping is very willing to kill Sima Tianxuan.

Before that, though, cultivation is the priority.

As for the gifts left by Prince Longyang, he could deliver them to his parents tomorrow morning.

As for that Celestial Level Top-Grade Vein Technique, he’d keep it for himself to look at; if it’s decent, cultivating it would be good too.

If it’s ordinary, he’ll throw it into the Sect for whoever wants to look at it.

(The power only came back at 9 p.m....

It’s too unbearable.

This snowstorm mercilessly shattered my resolve to not stop writing!)
