After Fei Lengyi heard that, he revealed a faint smile. He feared that the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion would fall out with him and expel him.
In that case, he really had no choice. Others might not know, but he knew that the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion had several Emperor Wu overseeing it. Fortunately, Xiao Chen still had a Sovereign Martial Emperor ancestor alive. Otherwise, after saying such words, he would have been chased out immediately.
As for the other Emperor Wu present, he believed that with his influence, he would be able to intimidate them.
Several of the Blue Robed Emperors present could take out thirty million Black Astral Coins. However, after thinking about it, they felt that there was no need to compete with Fei Lengyi. Firstly, Xiao Chen thought that he might not be able to defeat Fei Lengyi. Instead, he might end up offending a half-step Emperor Wu.
Secondly, they did not have an urgent need for the Heptagold Origin.
In order to refine a Divine Armament into a Transcendent Divine Armament, the Heptagold Origin was only one of the ingredients. There were many other supplementary materials as well. Since that was the case, he might as well do Xiao Chen a favor.
As Fei Lengyi expected, no one competed with him. He successfully obtained the Heptagold Origin for thirty million Black Astral Coins.
After putting away the Heptagold Origin, Fei Lengyi was in a good mood. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said with a smile, "Many thanks to everyone. Now that the auction has ended, if everyone is willing to do me the honor, you can come to my Jadeite Mountain Manor and watch the ceremony together. Let's witness the birth of a new Transcendent Divine Weapon, the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword. "
Amidst loud laughter, Fei Lengyi walked out complacently.
The group of Blue Robed Emperors in the private rooms in the hall quickly rushed out to follow. Such a grand event was rare. Everyone wanted to see for themselves whether Fei Lengyi would succeed or not.
Even Jiang Feng and Xia Luo temporarily forgot their hatred for Xiao Chen. This sudden matter disrupted their plans.
After muttering to himself for a moment, he left the private room and rushed toward the Jadeite Mountain Manor.
There were only ten Transcendent Divine Weapons in the world. Each Transcendent Divine Weapon was extremely mighty, comparable to a Primordial Emperor Treasure. If Xiao Chen succeeded in breaking through, it would be a major event that would shock the entire Black Sea, spreading throughout the entire Kunlun Realm.
It could even change the power structure of the entire Black Sea, triggering a new round of super reshuffling.
In the private room, Xiao Chen was not in a hurry to leave. He was sorting out his gains from the auction.
In this auction, in addition to the Flowing Shadow Gloves and the Source Returning Pill, he had also won a hundred high-grade Demon Fiend Stones. Ordinary Demon Fiend Rocks were very effective for tempering saber intent and sword intent. However, tempering the saber soul required Medial Grade and Superior Grade Demon Fiend Rocks.
If there was a top-grade Demon Fiend Stone, that would be the best. Unfortunately, a treasure that could even tempt Emperor Wu would not appear in this Blue Robed Emperor -level auction.
The entire auction cost more than twenty million Black Astral Coins. If not for Jiang Feng's interference, the price would have been halved.
This debt, Xiao Chen secretly remembered in his heart. If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely get it back with interest.
Xiao Chen walked out of the auction house unhurriedly. At the entrance, he saw Yue Bingyun, who had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Haha! Everyone else is already gone, but you are not anxious at all. Why are you not interested in this ceremony at all?" Yue Bingyun smiled gently. Her otherworldly aura coupled with her smile deterred others from looking at her directly.
As Xiao Chen looked at Yue Bingyun, he smiled meaningfully. "The one who should be anxious should be you, not me. Once the Startling Wind Zither of the Lunar Palace falls out of the Divine Weapon Ranking, you will not be able to bear the loss."
If Yue Bingyun messed up such a mission, her position as the Holy Daughter would definitely be questioned in the Lunar Palace.
Xiao Chen did not believe that she did not have any competitors in the Lunar Palace and would not feel any pressure.
"It looks like you have more or less guessed the ins and outs of the matter."
Yue Bingyun walked forward with a calm expression. She said calmly, "However, with the Heavenly Source Pill that you gave me, I will definitely be able to cultivate my Longevity Art to the twelfth layer. The position of the Holy Daughter will not be threatened, so I will not be anxious at all."
Yue Bingyun's calm expression prevented Xiao Chen from figuring out her true thoughts.
The two chatted as they walked. However, their speed was not slow at all. When the first rays of the morning sun shone out, the final traces of darkness before dawn vanished, and the entire sky started to brighten.
However, dark clouds covered the Black Sea all year round. There was no way to see the glorious scene of the sun rising. This was very regrettable.
The Jadeite Mountain Manor was situated in Black Water City, between mountains and rivers. The mountains and rivers gave off a feeling that the mountains were not mountains and the water was not water.
As one walked along the crisscrossing paths and looked at the mountains, rivers, trees, and clouds flying across the lake, it felt like one was strolling in a painting, an extremely wondrous feeling.
According to rumor, the Jadeite Sovereign personally laid out the layout of the Jadeite Mountain Manor.
There was an exquisite formation hidden in the Jadeite Mountain Manor that merged the surrounding geomancy of the entire mountain manor. If the formation was activated, even a Sovereign Martial Emperor would find it hard to break.
The reputation of the Jadeite Mountain Manor was a rather famous place in the entire Black Water City. There was an endless stream of visitors all year round.
As Xiao Chen walked around and looked at the mountains and rivers, he felt very moved. He felt that the Jadeite Sovereign had put a lot of thought into every part of the layout. He could not casually change or damage them. Otherwise, it would result in a huge change.
This Jadeite Sovereign was truly incredible. His attainments in geomancy were probably unrivaled in the world. When Xiao Chen felt the harmony between the mountain manor and nature, he suddenly understood why this Sovereign Martial Emperor did not care about worldly power.
He did not fight for fame and profit to develop the Jadeite Mountain Manor. Instead, he chose to wander around and be a hands-off manager. He did not take special care of his descendants at all.
In the Black Sea, where competition was the law of the jungle, such a Sovereign Martial Emperor could be considered a marvel.
As the Jadeite Mountain Manor approached, Xiao Chen could not help saying, "The Jadeite Sovereign is definitely not weak. Given his mental state, it is entirely possible for him to advance to Prime."
Yue Bingyun looked at the beautiful gates of the mountain manor. There were many people inside. Who knew how many Blue Robed Emperors worked hard to manage them?
After a while, she walked forward and said indifferently, "That is natural. If the Jadeite Sovereign did not have any deterrence, even if Fei Lengyi were ten times more courageous, he would not dare to advance his Divine Weapon into a Transcendent Divine Weapon.
"However, in the end, he is just a brute. He does not know what he is doing. If he succeeds, even if the Jadeite Sovereign rushes back, he will not be able to save his life."
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. An ordinary man's wealth was his ruin. Even if the Lunar Palace did not seek trouble for Xiao Chen, the other factions of the Black Sea would make a move immediately to snatch this Transcendent Divine Weapon.
At that time, there would be a storm of blood. As a half-step Emperor Wu, he would not be able to handle the situation.
"Are the two of you entering the manor to participate in the ceremony?"
When the mountain manor's guard in jade-green robes saw Xiao Chen and Yue Bingyun, he walked over politely and performed a cupped-fist salute.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Manor Lord Fei invited us to the ceremony in the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion. I had some matters to attend to, so I came late."
That person smiled humbly and said, "The two of you are indeed late. The ceremony should have started already. Let me bring the two of you to the viewing platform."
Not only did the green-robed cultivator not show any intention of stopping Xiao Chen and Yue Bingyun, but he even openly brought the two to the viewing platform. His service was extremely attentive.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and thanked the green-robed cultivator. However, he wondered in his heart, What exactly is this Fei Lengyi up to?
Clearly, this group of cultivators had been informed in advance. They were not surprised that the Blue Robed Emperor was here to observe the ceremony. However, the Blue Robed Emperor had brought forward the matter of the fifteenth of the next month.
Based on the details, one could tell that Fei Lengyi had put in a lot of effort for the sake of breaking the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword into a Transcendent Divine Weapon.
One of his goals was to blow up this matter as much as possible, to make everyone know about it and shake up the place.
From the moment Xiao Chen received the invitation when he entered the Black Sea, it was clear that Fei Lengyi had made preparations long ago for the sake of making things more lively.
If it were a regular occasion, there would be no problem with doing so. However, breaking through from a Divine Weapon to a Transcendent Divine Weapon was a major matter. Many people would be watching.
If news leaked out, it might end up failing on the verge of success. That was how Yue Bingyun had gotten involved. Any ordinary person would understand such a simple principle.
Yue Bingyun said that this person was arrogant, thinking that he would definitely succeed. Hence, he was not afraid of inviting more people.
Xiao Chen acknowledged the former. This Fei Lengyi was extraordinarily arrogant. However, Xiao Chen did not agree with the latter.
Xiao Chen had a guess. This Fei Lengyi's main goal was not to succeed in breaking through to a Transcendent Divine Weapon but to blow up the matter. It would be best if it caused a bloody storm.
However, Xiao Chen was not very confident of this guess. Logically speaking, doing so would not benefit Fei Lengyi at all.
"We've arrived!"
The Jadeite Mountain Manor's cultivator led the two to their seats in the viewing platform. Then, he bowed and took his leave.
Xiao Chen collected his thoughts and returned the bow politely. Then, he sat down together with Yue Bingyun.
Thousands of people filled the viewing platform. Nearly all the Blue Robed Emperor's of the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion had rushed over. There were even some Blue Robed Emperors who had not gone to the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion. It was unknown where they got the news and rushed over.
A few thousand meters away from the observation platform was a spacious open space, on which a magnificent formation was constructed using various godly materials.
The formation patterns flickered endlessly with a multicolored light. The aura of divine materials spread out in the air, attracting everyone's attention and making them sigh in amazement.
"This Fei Lengyi is serious. The entire viewing platform is covered in Black Patterned Gold. There must be at least five hundred tons of it."
"This is the most basic. Look at the veins of the formation patterns. They are all sorts of precious divine materials. There are at least a hundred of them."
"He is practically using all the capital that the Jadeite Sovereign left for him. If he does not succeed, he will have suffered a great loss."
There was an altar at the center of the formation. A scarlet sword was stabbed into the blazing flames. A sparkling jadeite was embedded in the sword hilt.
Even the dense flames could not hide the light of the jadeite, which occasionally gave off a few beams of light. This was a dazzling light, comparable to the noon sun, deterring people from looking at it directly.
This was a jadeite that the Jadeite Sovereign obtained after refining a planet in the depths of the Starry Heavens. It contained boundless energy. Rumor had it that there was only one in the world and was exceptionally precious. Even Emperor Wu was tempted by it.
