He originally thought that the Illusionary Moon Conference was just a simple gathering, but now it seemed like that wasn't the case. Not only was the Illusionary Moon Conference organized by the Moonless Empire's royal family, but it also seemed like the royal family attached great importance to it.
The Burning Sky Ruler was interested in the Illusionary Moon Conference and the Illusionary Moon Fruit, especially the Illusionary Moon Fruit. What kind of treasure was it that the Moonless Empire's royal family attached so much importance to it?
Zhang Qi respectfully replied upon hearing the Burning Heaven Ruler's words.
In the next few days, Zhang Qi was fully responsible for investigating the Illusionary Moon Conference. As for Xiao Chen, he didn't go out. For the next few days, Xiao Chen had been learning about dao from the Burning Sky Ruler.
He was already at the peak of the Sky Realm and was only a step away from breaking through to the Dao Querying Realm. However, it wasn't that simple to break through to the Dao Querying Realm. First, Xiao Chen needed to understand what dao was. Therefore, for the next few days, Xiao Chen had been tirelessly seeking guidance from the Burning Sky Ruler about dao.
Facing Xiao Chen's questions, the Burning Sky Ruler didn't feel annoyed at all. He explained in detail to Xiao Chen.
He had already started preparing to break through to the Dao Querying Realm. As usual, in the main courtyard, the Burning Sky Ruler was explaining martial dao knowledge to Xiao Chen.
"Martial dao is actually a kind of cultivation. A more common explanation for dao is that it refers to all things in the world …"
The Burning Sky Ruler explained slowly. At this moment, Zhang Qi walked in and strode to the Burning Sky Ruler. She bowed respectfully and said, "My Lord, the matter of the Illusionary Moon Fruit has been investigated."
Hearing Zhang Qi's words, the Burning Sky Ruler was surprised. Then, he looked at Zhang Qi and said, "Oh, then tell me what kind of treasure it is."
"My Lord, this Illusionary Moon Fruit actually only has one effect. However, this is the first time I've heard of such an effect. It can expand the dantian."
When Zhang Qi first learned about the effect of the Illusionary Moon Fruit, she was bewildered. There was a treasure in this world that could expand the dantian? It was simply too magical. He had never heard of such a thing in the Heavenly Chen Continent.
Hearing Zhang Qi's words, the Burning Heaven Ruler's eyes lit up. Don't think that expanding the Dantian was useless. On the contrary, the Illusory Moon Fruit's ability to expand the Dantian was absolutely sufficient to attract any cultivator. Even a Dao Emperor Realm expert like the Burning Heaven Ruler might not be able to resist such temptation.
Expanding one's dantian, to put it bluntly, was to increase the amount of spiritual power stored in one's dantian. Think about it, if two martial artists of the same cultivation level could have a larger amount of spiritual power stored in their dantian, what would the result be? He was going to exhaust his opponent to death.
He never thought that there would be such a treasure in this world. It could be said that the Illusionary Moon Fruit was an irresistible temptation to any cultivator below the Saint realm.
Without much hesitation, the Burning Heaven Ruler said in a deep voice, "It would be great if we could get the Mirage Moon Fruit, but …"
As he spoke, the Burning Sky Ruler looked at Zhang Qi. His meaning was clear. Since Zhang Qi was able to find out the effects of the Illusionary Moon Fruit, then she definitely knew how to participate in the Illusionary Moon Conference.
Facing the Burning Heaven Ruler's gaze, Zhang Qi was clearly prepared and immediately spoke.
"My Lord, you already know that the Illusionary Moon Conference is held by the Moonless Empire's imperial family. Its purpose is to divide the Illusionary Moon Fruit."
"According to the information I've gathered, the Illusionary Moon Ancient Tree bears fruit once every hundred years, and each time it bears no more than five hundred fruits. Among them, 40% is handed over to the Tianfeng Shengzong, 20% is taken by the imperial family, 10% is taken by the Four Marquises, and another 10% is taken by the Eight Marquises, so 80% is taken. The remaining 20% is taken by the imperial family so that the large families of the Moonless Empire have no complaints."
"According to the rules of the Illusionary Moon Conference, the large families of the Moonless Empire can only send cultivators below the Heaven realm to participate in the tournament. The maximum number of people cannot exceed three. Every time they win a match, they can obtain one Illusionary Moon Fruit. In other words, as long as they have the strength, they can continue to fight until the last 20% is divided. Then, the Illusionary Moon Conference will end."
"As for how to participate in the Illusionary Moon Conference, you need an invitation letter. However, it's not difficult to obtain an invitation letter. I've already found out that the City Lord Mansion of the Illusionary Moon City has an invitation letter. However, you need to spend ten thousand mid grade spirit stones to purchase it. Moreover, the buyer's cultivation is limited.
The Moonless Empire's imperial family didn't set the threshold too high. After all, the purpose of holding the Illusionary Moon Conference was to prevent the large families of the Moonless Empire from complaining. That way, as long as you were a large family of the Moonless Empire and proved you had the strength, you could participate in the Illusionary Moon Conference.
Because of that, the invitations to the Illusionary Moon Conference were either given away or purchased. Ten thousand mid grade spirit stones were used to prove your faction's wealth. After all, a faction that could use ten thousand mid grade spirit stones to buy an invitation letter obviously couldn't be too poor. Otherwise, who would use ten thousand mid grade spirit stones to do something they weren't confident in? Having an invitation letter didn't mean you would definitely obtain the Illusionary Moon Fruit.
Therefore, ten thousand mid grade spirit stones were used to prove your wealth. At the very least, you needed to be a Dao King to purchase it. This was to prove your strength. If a faction didn't even have a Dao King, then they naturally wouldn't know that the imperial family valued them. As such, there was no need for them to participate in the Illusionary Moon Conference.
To put it bluntly, the twenty percent of the Illusionary Moon Fruits in the Illusionary Moon Conference was actually used by the imperial family to buy people's hearts. Therefore, the imperial family didn't care who obtained the Illusionary Moon Fruits in the end. After all, what belonged to them was already in their pockets.
After hearing Zhang Qi's words, the Burning Sky Ruler immediately laughed loudly. His laughter was comfortable, as if he had already obtained the twenty percent of the Illusionary Moon Fruits.
As he laughed, the Burning Sky Ruler looked at Xiao Chen and softly muttered to himself, "You can only send cultivators below the Heaven Realm to participate. Moreover, you can't send more than three people. You can obtain one Illusionary Moon Fruit every time you win. As long as you have the strength, you can continue to fight until you obtain the twenty percent of the Illusionary Moon Fruits. Is that right?"
"That's right." Zhang Qi also understood the Burning Sky Ruler's words and similarly replied with a smile, "That's right."
Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Xiao Chen could only helplessly smile bitterly. He had already guessed the Burning Sky Ruler's decision. As expected, just as Zhang Qi finished speaking, the Burning Sky Ruler made his decision.
"Alright, let a Dao King Realm cultivator go and purchase the invitation letter. We will only send one person. I don't believe anyone below the Dao Querying Realm can win against our King Bewitching Sword. Haha, I will definitely obtain the twenty percent of the Illusionary Moon Fruits."
