The palace glowed with golden light.
A dazzling array of treasures hovered in the center of the palace. When the great emperors saw them, they couldn't hide their astonishment.
"These …."
The Jade Lake Palace Master stared at the divine artifacts in a daze. Quite a few of them had been stolen, devoured, and branded by the Venerable of Numinous Treasure.
"This is my Violet Silk Satin."
"This is Wan 'er's Windchime."
"This is …."
The Great Emperors named the divine weapons in the hall one by one. These were the divine weapons that the Venerable of Lingbao had stolen from them previously.
The great emperors didn't quite understand, but Emperor Bi 'an, who was just about to leave, frowned.
"Star Lord Ye, are you trying to embarrass us?"
Ye Zichen was instantly dumbfounded.
The Venerable of Numinous Treasure had naturally released these divine artifacts at Ye Zichen's behest. In order to convince him, Ye Zichen had cooperated with Xuan-Yuan Xiang and talked for a full three days before he finally nodded.
Ye Zichen's original intention was for the Venerable of Numinous Treasure to return the divine artifacts to the great emperors and ease the tension between the Venerable of Numinous Treasure and the great emperors. Emperor Bi 'an's words terrified him.
"Emperor Bi 'an ….."
"Heh, you released the god artifact that Ceng Jing stole from me. Are you trying to embarrass us on purpose? Could it be that this is part of Star Lord Ye's plan as well? Are you trying to tell us that we couldn't do anything to him ten thousand years ago and that we should back off? "Emperor Bi 'an gnashed his teeth.
Ye Zichen couldn't quite understand Emperor Bi 'an's words, but he could see that the misunderstanding was growing deeper and deeper. In response, Ye Zichen couldn't help but arch his brows.
"Great Emperor, why do you say that?" "Am I wrong?" Roared Emperor Bi 'an angrily. "From the moment he entered the palace until now, it's clear that what you're trying to tell us is that the Venerable of Numinous Treasure is already on your side, Star Lord Ye. Then you'll let us know that even if we joined forces, we couldn't do anything to him. Now, you're releasing these divine artifacts?
You're trying to tell us that he was stronger than us ten thousand years ago, right? "
"No ….."
It was obvious that Great Emperor Bi 'an had completely misunderstood Ye Zichen's meaning. However, he didn't give Ye Zichen any chance to explain himself.
"Star Lord Ye, is it really worth it to humiliate us like this for a guy who was infamous ten thousand years ago, even if his cultivation is high? Alright, since you want to be associated with it, then I'm sorry, but from now on, I … "
"Wait, wait, wait … stop!"
When Ye Zichen saw that Great Emperor Bi 'an's words were going from bad to worse, he hurriedly interrupted him.
"Emperor Bi 'an, you've misunderstood!"
"Misunderstanding?" Bi An raised an eyebrow.
"That's right. The Venerable of Numinous Treasure released these artifacts to return them to you. I said it before, the Lord of Numinous Treasure came with sincerity. Why would you think that? "Ye Zichen said helplessly.
"What?"
When he heard that, Bi 'an froze. He stared blankly at Ye Zichen, then at the Venerable of Numinous Treasure.
How could this be?
The reason why he had such a thought before was because he knew that the Venerable of Numinous Treasure could not return the treasures to them.
So long as they were in his hands, even if you held a knife to his neck, he wouldn't be able to spit them out.
Take the Five Elements Great Emperor for example. The Venerable of Numinous Treasure stole a spiritual artifact from him. That spiritual artifact was a token of love between the Five Elements Great Emperor and Empress Su Qingyan. In exchange for it, the Five Elements Great Emperor agreed to give the Venerable of Numinous Treasure five divine artifacts.
Even so, the Venerable of Numinous Treasure refused and even set his sights on the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
However, the Five Elements Great Emperor, Empress Su Qingyan, and the Fox Clan head, Su Wan 'er, beat him up several times before he gave up on the Yao-Sealing Pagoda. Even so, he never returned the token of love.
This was the sort of person who'd rather die than spit out the treasures he'd swallowed.
Now he was saying he wanted to return the divine artifacts?
Even the Great Emperor Bi An suspected he was hearing things. "I'm telling the truth," said Ye Zichen, shrugging. Ye Zichen shrugged. "These are all divine artifacts the Sovereign of Numinous Treasure stole from you all those years ago. Every single one of them is here. In consideration of the fact that you've all advanced in cultivation over the past ten thousand years, the Venerable of Numinous Treasure is willing to give you a few more divine artifacts as compensation.
Can you take away all the Divine Weapons placed here? "
"Then I …."
Returning the divine artifacts was purely a discussion between the Sea Emperor and the Venerable of Numinous Treasure. The Sea Emperor had no idea.
When she heard Ye Zichen say this, she hurriedly took a few steps forward. After all, her Sea God Ring was still in the Venerable of Numinous Treasure's hands.
"Of course, I have your Sea God Ring as well."
With a flip of his hand, Ye Zichen produced a sky-blue ring and a water pearl.
"Here's your Sea God Ring, and this pearl is the Venerable of Numinous Treasure's compensation. The Venerable of Numinous Treasure said himself that this pearl can increase your Sea God Set's power by twenty percent. "
The Sea Emperor's clone accepted the ring and pearl in a daze. As soon as the pearl entered his hand, he sensed the surging water divine power contained within. It was also very compatible with his own divine power.
"Hmph, you've really lucked out. I took this pearl from the Frozen Lake of the West Sea."
The other great emperors took back their divine artifacts as well. Great Emperor Bi 'an had reaped a bountiful harvest. He'd earned over thirty divine artifacts.
From this, it was clear just how long the Venerable of Numinous Treasure had been hiding in the Four Direction Palace.
The Venerable of Lingbao could not hide the pain in his eyes when all the divine artifacts in the hall were swept away. It could be said that he had spent half of his life to collect these divine artifacts, but now, they were all gone.
However, Ye Zichen also promised that he'd make up for his losses. In truth, he'd already absorbed the core divine power of those divine artifacts. At most, he'd only be able to use them as ornaments. When he thought of this, he felt a bit better.
"Are you satisfied, Great Emperors?"
"I'm truly grateful that you've returned this jade hairpin."
Empress Su Qingyan clutched a jade hairpin and bowed deeply to the Venerable of Numinous Treasure. This hairpin was the token of love the Five Elements Great Emperor had given her.
She'd been so angry at Numinous Treasure because of this hairpin.
Now that she'd regained it, the Five Elements Great Emperor was no longer in this world. Looking at this jade hairpin, she felt a bit nostalgic.
"I …. I have nothing to say," said the Jade Lake Palace Master.
"Me too," said Great Emperor Chao Feng.
"My true body and I are willing to write off our past grievances with the Venerable of Numinous Treasure," said the Sea Emperor's clone. At the same time, three divine artifacts appeared in his hands. They flew through the air and landed in front of the Venerable of Numinous Treasure. "You gave me this pearl, so I'm willing to give you these three divine artifacts in return."
"Heh, the Sea Emperor is still the brightest." The Venerable of Numinous Treasure grinned.
He'd given away so many divine artifacts. Even though he was the Venerable of Numinous Treasure, his heart ached. Although the Sea Emperor's three divine artifacts weren't particularly good, they'd at least cut his losses.
