"Elder Dong, there's still one thing that I don't understand." Before bidding farewell, Tang Shidao raised one last question.
"Please speak, Mr. Human Emperor." Jiu Dong smiled.
"As far as I know, ancient hermits rarely come into contact with outsiders. Why do you treat me differently?" Tang Shidao asked directly.
"So that's the problem." Jiu Dong smiled and said slowly, "If you don't mind, we can talk about it slowly. Of course, Mr. Human Emperor wouldn't believe me if I said it was because of the Iron Master and the Iron Hero Spirit. "Because of these two plans, ordinary races would be grateful to you, but we have nothing to do with the ancient races. We have no interest in Border Territories or powers. Similarly, we don't need the Fish Origin Boat. "
"Yes." Tang Shidao knew the habits of the aboriginals. The ancient hermits did not care about power and status.
"The real reason might sound a little funny. From what we can see, Mr. Human Emperor, the most interesting thing about you is that … you don't use any ancient artifacts. "
"Oh?"
"Mr. Human Emperor, you have a name. Your real name is Shen Tang. His nickname was a rare one. It was a great curse on the Human Emperor. You have the 'Divine' character that people value, the Transcendent bloodline, the ancient artifact, the Great Perfection, the one and only spell, and the Soul Jade. According to the comparison of ordinary Mages, as long as they have one of these conditions, they will be several times stronger than those of the same level. "
"Um." Tang Shidao still did not understand.
"Flowing Fire Feather Robe, Four Divine Helmets of Laughter, Wailing, Alarm, Rage, and Phoenix Feather Robe. You have these three ancient artifacts, right? We don't know where the wooden spear is, and we can't find out where it came from. Not counting that one, you already have three, and the Undying Bird Feather Coat is a Universe Wonder. When Di Chen and the others were fighting with you, you could have used these things to demonstrate your strength, or you could have developed and studied their power. But you didn't do it. "
Tang Shidao roughly understood.
However, he still needed a clearer understanding. Anyway, he was very free now.
"In the void, there's a group of people who don't use ancient artifacts. For example, Mr. Scarecrow, Madam Åling, our leader, Ren the 9th, and the Great Chief Phoenix of the Sorcerer's Net. These people don't like to use ancient artifacts. Mr. Human Emperor, do you think they won't be able to find it? "
"Of course not." Tang Shidao laughed.
If the scarecrow really wanted to search for ancient artifacts, he might be able to find one in ten days or half a month.
Not to mention Åling in the past.
She was even more idle than the scarecrow. She could look for him at any time.
He wanted to go deeper.
The snake magician and the 72 people did not leave behind any ancient artifacts or powerful equipment, including the previous successor, the dragon. It had left behind a cultivation method for the 'Ink Dragon Blunderbuss', which could be used to derive a weapon from a mage's certificate. However, this didn't count as leaving behind equipment. It was only leaving behind cultivation techniques.
"The Astral Lady has a Star Spear, which is derived from the Mage Certificate. Even if they did, the Astral Lady would rarely use them. Even more famous was the number one Martial Monk, Lady Chan Nine. She possessed the most famous ancient magical artifact, the Heaven Opening Staff. However, Lady Chan Nine almost never used it, including in the ten decisive battles with Lady Åling. "
"Mm." Tang Shidao knew that Chan Nine had "gifted" this staff to her father. She had only appeared after the head of the staff had died.
"Among the Eight Emperors of God, more than half of them don't use ancient artifacts. Even if they find one, they basically keep it or give it to a friend or comrade. This is not a kind of stupidity, Mr. Human Emperor. Using an ancient artifact or not was just a choice. There is a saying in the Void: In the Void, equipment is king. However, we belong to people outside of this saying. "When Jiu Dong said this, he also displayed an ancient artifact, a ring.
At this point, his meaning was clear.
They knew about the existence of ancient artifacts and had them, but they did not like to use them. Perhaps they would use them at certain important moments, but they would not normally use them. Knowing how to use them and liking to use them were two different things. Take the head of the staff for example. He carried it by his side all day and used it every time he attacked. That was what was called liking to use it.
Tang Shidao could also tell.
Using or not using it did not have any particular advantages or disadvantages to oneself.
It could be said that.
Relying on equipment in battle would reduce one's self-cultivation. Using less equipment in battle meant that one had to maintain self-cultivation, or else one would fall behind. In the end, what Jiu Dong meant was … because one was already very strong, one was still not satisfied with the status quo and continued to work hard to improve, so they admired one very much.
Originally, it would have been settled with just a few words.
However, Jiu Dong purposely said a bunch of things, hinting that some people in the Void took this path. If one persevered, one might see a different scenery in the future.
Tang Shidao understood this hint.
At this point, the meeting came to an end.
With Tang Shidao's permission, it was perfectly justifiable for Seven Beauties to go to Kunpeng. At the same time, Tang Shidao also sent a message to Xiao Jin, asking the apostles to take care of Seven Beauties and the others. Although they did not need help with martial arts, teaching the younger generation needed to be done in many ways. It was better to take care of them than not. As for their identities, if Seven Beauties and the others did not take the initiative to explain, Xiao Jin would not reveal it either.
Now that there were all kinds of people in Kunpeng, it was very convenient for them to temporarily use other identities to 'learn'.
Two days later.
On the Snake of Life's Feather Lane Passenger Ship, a new banquet began.
This time.
Other than the 53 races that had presented their 'gifts', some of the more powerful groups had also won spots. However, the banquet was the same, but the treatment was different. From the start, Tang Shidao called the representatives of the 53 races. "Thank you for your space waymark recording devices. I really need these things. I roughly understand your intentions. How about this, let's not talk too much. If you have any business needs, make a report and give it to Wang Bin. I will take a look at it later. If there are no problems, I will inform Xiao Jin to handle it. "
When the representatives heard this, they were so excited that they almost screamed.
They all nodded and thanked him. They knew that they had received unimaginable benefits from this bet. It could be said that being able to get into Kunpeng now was definitely a super free ride.
No matter how powerful one was, there would definitely be great benefits.
After doing this, Zhang Xiuying
The banquet continued, but the process was different. It could only be said that … well, it was really just a banquet. They ate, chatted, introduced themselves, and got to know each other. The more unfamiliar they were, the more polite they were. Tang Shidao did not leave. He also met with everyone, eating, drinking, and chatting, but he did not talk about serious matters.
Compared to the 53 race representatives who had placed their bets in advance, the other representatives were at most familiar faces.
This attitude …
It had to be said that no one present dared to complain. In the void, giving charcoal in snowy weather would definitely yield more benefits than adding flowers to brocade. This was the inevitable result. Moreover, the Human Emperor's attitude was already clear: If you really helped me, I will definitely repay you. If you only wanted to show your face and ask for benefits, sorry, your face is not that big. It's not that I don't give face to your race, but I don't give face to all of you.
On the other hand …
Everyone knew that the Ancient Hermits had paid a visit together. After all, Jiu Dong came openly and did not hide his whereabouts. For the Ancient Hermits to take the initiative to pay a visit, naturally, the Human Emperor's "score" in everyone's hearts was raised a little.
The banquet ended smoothly.
Other than the cooperation at the beginning, the rest was just eating, drinking, and chatting that no one cared about the least. After less than half a day, the representatives of the 53 races sent their letters of intent. Tang Shidao just flipped through them, pulled up those who had lower demands and lowered those who wanted to do big business, and then asked Wang Bin to send them back. At this time, all the team leaders were watching because this was not just a matter of the 53 races. Everyone needed to know the Human Emperor's attitude and psychological position.
After reading it, the intelligence officer analyzed it again.
Everyone immediately had a plan in mind.
"Leaders, from the way he acts, the Human Emperor is not difficult to get along with. It's as if he has a self-restraint of not offending others if you don't offend him. At the same time, he also has the principle of repaying kindness with kindness. In a way, the Human Emperor is very similar to the aboriginals. The difference is that the Human Emperor has a large group of races under his command that need to 'develop'. Therefore, the Human Emperor has opened a path to heaven for them. "
"Yes, we can understand from the intelligence. Now, the main point is … how do we get in touch with him?" The leaders of the various teams were only concerned about this question.
"Other than the information from the five-man team and the Otherworld of Origins, there's another way."
"Speak."
"We need him to take the initiative to ask for help. Of course, it's not that we want to trick him, but we need to work harder than usual to find benefits. Leaders also know that in the Serpent of Life's journey, most places cannot be invaded in a short period of time. We need to find such places. If the Human Emperor is interested and he can't take it down alone, then we need to help. "
"Is it feasible?"
"Leaders, the Serpent of Life travels to so many places. There are bound to be some places where one person can't do anything. No matter how powerful the Human Emperor is, he's not omnipotent. "
"Okay, what's the next stop?"
"The Devil Swamp Star Sea."
"Very good. The Devil Swamp Star Sea is filled with demonic poison, and there's a gap between vision and sensing. There are also countless poisonous beasts blocking the way. If we want to go deeper, we will need the power of a group. This place is just right. Everyone pay attention and wait for the Human Emperor to ask for help at any time. "The various teams were full of confidence after thinking about it.
No matter how powerful the Human Emperor was, he was still a newcomer. He had just come to the Serpent of Life and definitely couldn't play it well.
As long as he couldn't do anything, he would definitely need everyone's help.
However.
Thinking about it was just thinking. The reality was not as everyone expected.
Tang Shidao directly refused the support of the 53 races and entered the Devil Swamp Star Sea alone … No, it should be said that he only let the Shadow of the Next Life out and used the Great Puppet Technique to summon a large number of Source Iron Puppets. Poison? The metal-type puppets were the least afraid. Vision? The puppets shared it. Poisonous beasts? The Source Iron Puppets were not afraid of you. The number of beasts was huge? Hehe, comparing numbers with the Great Incantation Great Puppet Technique? Do you want to use one hand?
Facing a place like the Devil Swamp Star Sea.
An ordinary team would need dozens of teams to explore it. The Shadow of the Next Life only needed one move to flatten it.
Two months passed.
The other teams' gains were not as good as Tang Shidao's alone.
Facing this result, the team leaders' faces turned green. 'This is cheating! The Great Puppet Spell can actually be combined with Iron Magic! Your derivative ability is too outrageous!' What was the next stop? Very good, the Fog Sea Stone Array. A place where one could get lost at any time and where countless assassin-type 'fog beasts' gathered. I don't believe that your Great Puppet Technique can snatch the Fog Sea Stone Crystals.
Next stop.
Fog Sea Stone Array. The intelligence team brought back a subtle message after half a day: Zhan Ying's Great Shadow Technique had invaded the entire Fog Sea Stone Array. They only heard the cries of the fog beasts being slaughtered and didn't see Zhan Ying being injured.
Fog Sea and Great Shadow, it seemed that the latter's' assassination 'effect was much more terrifying.
"There must be something he can't deal with." The team leaders firmly believed.
"Really?"
"Probably."
"…"
