Everything that needed to be shown had been shown. There was no point in continuing. Yao Ruoxian waved his hand and shot out a beam of light. The Tiny Pagoda immediately stopped operating.
Mo Ming and the others who were fighting the natives inside the pagoda immediately collapsed, scattering to the ground. Ashes to ashes, ashes to ashes.
At the same time, a rotating black hole suddenly appeared in the sky. They all looked at each other. They were all knowledgeable people, so there was no need to say anything. Under Mo Ming's lead, they flew up and entered the black hole one after another.
Soon, the people trapped inside the pagoda came out and appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was already dawn. Mo Ming, who had come out and was floating in the air, looked at Yao Ruoxian, who was casting his arts in the morning light. He had a complicated expression on his face. Yao Ruoxian waved his hand, and the Tiny Pagoda suddenly shrunk, falling back onto his palm.
Yao Ruoxian asked, "Everyone here is an expert. Although the power of this artifact is far inferior to the Tiny Pagoda you guys have refined, you should be able to see that its functions are not inferior to yours. Xiang Baiting, what do you think? "
Xiang Baiting's expression was ugly. "Junior Brother, this isn't a transcendent artifact that can be refined by a single person. Even if it's a small version of the Tiny Pagoda, the materials required to refine it are not something an average person can afford. Someone must have helped you."
"Where the materials came from is not the main point!" Yao Ruoxian raised the pagoda with a single hand and said loudly, "If you don't believe that I can refine the Tiny Pagoda by myself, that's fine too! The Tiny Pagoda is a transcendent artifact that combines all kinds of artifact refining techniques. Let's see whose artifact refining technique is superior and more comprehensive. We'll see who can refine the Tiny Pagoda within a specified time using the same materials. We'll let the artifact refiners of the world decide the victor! "
What a slap to the face! 'If you don't believe that I can refine it, then I won't defend myself. Let's compete in front of everyone and see if I can refine it or not! ' The artifact refiners were whispering to each other. To be able to refine such an artifact with a Red Lotus cultivation, he must be a genius in the world of artifact refinement. Now it all depended on whether Xiang Baiting dared to accept the challenge.
Only Miao Yi knew how Yao Ruoxian had been through all these years. Every time he went to see Yao Ruoxian, most of the time, he would see Yao Ruoxian scribbling and drawing those strange pictures, deep in thought. He had been constantly studying artifact forging techniques, not caring about his image at all, just to wash away his shame today!
And for Yao Ruoxian to say such words in public, it meant that he had the confidence to do so. The entire upper echelons of the Exquisite Refinement Sect. Everyone in the Exquisite Refinement Sect who had participated in the refinement of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda was shocked to the core. A treasure that required everyone's cooperation to complete, he actually wanted to complete it alone?
If Yao Ruoxian were to successfully refine it in front of everyone, it would be equivalent to single-handedly destroying the prestige of the entire Exquisite Refinement Sect!
Everyone in the Exquisite Refinement Sect understood that with Xiang Baiting's ability, it was impossible for him to refine the Linglong Treasure Pagoda. Forget about Xiang Baiting, there was no one in the entire Exquisite Refinement Sect who could do it, not to mention a perfected Linglong Treasure Pagoda. Even if the entire Exquisite Refinement Sect joined hands, they might not be able to refine it. Because it was impossible!
It was precisely because of this that the people involved were even more shocked. The Linglong Treasure Pagoda was completed by everyone, and it was impossible for a single person to refine it. Therefore, even if someone or a group of people wanted to leak the refining method of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, it was impossible.
What did this mean? It meant that Zi Yang was able to figure out the refining method from the rumors about the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, and even made up for the shortcomings of the Linglong Treasure Pagoda. This kind of talent left everyone speechless!
No one knew what they were feeling, but they knew that the Exquisite Refinement Sect had abandoned such a talented disciple. Thinking about it now … Wasn't it a pity?
Now, he had come back to seek justice …
After a moment of silence, Yao Ruoxian stared at Xiang Baiting and said, "What? The dignified successor of the Exquisite Refinement Sect doesn't dare to accept the challenge of a discarded disciple like me? "
The muscles on Xiang Baiting's face tightened, and he said in a low voice, "I admit that I cannot refine the Linglong Treasure Pagoda. If you can refine the Linglong Treasure Pagoda in front of everyone, I will admit defeat! "It was not easy for him to say these words, but he had already been forced into a corner.
"Alright!" Yao Ruoxian agreed readily, and raised the Linglong Treasure Pagoda in his hand, "I don't have enough refining materials on me, so I will melt this Linglong Treasure Pagoda in front of everyone. I will take the materials and refine it again, right here in front of everyone, and let everyone watch. Do you agree? "
There was nothing difficult to agree to. Xiang Baiting nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Don't agree too early. I have another condition!" Yao Ruoxian said, "If I succeed, you must give up your position as the successor of the Exquisite Refinement Sect because you are not worthy. You will leave the Exquisite Refinement Sect from now on!"
Miao Yi was secretly amused. He thought this old man didn't have any conditions and came all the way here for nothing. It turned out that he was still a little vengeful.
Little did he know that Yao Ruoxian didn't have any intention of revenge at all. Instead, he had feelings for the Exquisite Refinement Sect, and truly felt that Xiang Baiting's character was not suitable to be the Exquisite Refinement Sect's Sect Master.
Some people saw things positively, while others viewed things negatively. A person's heart was a multitude of things. It was easy for different people to view the same matter differently. Things in this world always differed from person to person.
"I agree!" Xiang Baiting said in a low voice, "What if you fail?"
Yao Ruoxian said word by word, "If I fail, I will take the blame and commit suicide. I will give my life to you!"
Xiang Baiting sighed and said, "Junior Brother, I don't want to take advantage of you, and I don't want to take your life either. You just need to give me some time … You can't possibly stay here and keep on refining. Give yourself a time limit. I won't force you!"
This was where he was smart. He wanted to try his luck, but he didn't know how the Exquisite Refinement Pagoda was made. If he forced himself to try, he would only embarrass himself! Now that Yao Ruoxian was the only one refining it, he still had a chance of winning. As long as Yao Ruoxian didn't succeed, even if Yao Ruoxian failed, he would still win. Having a chance of winning was better than having no chance at all.
Besides, if Yao Ruoxian lost and he asked for Yao Ruoxian's life, it would seem unreasonable in the eyes of others. Besides, it was useless for him to ask for Yao Ruoxian's life. At the very least, he couldn't ask for it openly. Saying something that didn't take advantage of him would make him seem magnanimous as a Senior Brother.
Hearing this, Miao Yi cursed in his heart, 'Cunning!'
However, from Miao Yi's point of view, putting aside his personal prejudices, he felt that a person like Xiang Baiting was more suited to be the Exquisite Refinement Sect's Sect Master, while Yao Ruoxian was more suited to study artifact refinement. To Miao Yi, a useful person should be placed in a useful place. A person like Yao Ruoxian would only cause trouble for the Exquisite Refinement Sect if he became the Sect Master.
"A hundred days!" Yao Ruoxian agreed.
'A hundred days?' Miao Yi's heart skipped a beat. 'If you stay in his territory for a hundred days, the chances of something going wrong are too high. Who knows, he might have some way to make you fail. Xiang Baiting is no pushover!'
"Alright!" Xiang Baiting extended his hand and said, "Junior Brother, please help yourself!" He then turned to Mo Ming and cupped his fists, "This disciple is ashamed!"
Meanwhile, Yao Ruoxian had already descended to the ground below. He grabbed a handful of Orbs of Will and sat down cross-legged to recover his transcendence energy.
The eyes of the people from the six nations flickered. No one knew what they were planning.
Miao Yi furrowed his brows as he vaguely sensed that something was amiss. His gaze flickered as he quietly left the crowd and returned to where the Great Devil Realm was staying. He ordered one of the Devil Nation Overlords to immediately take Qin Weiwei away.
Qin Weiwei didn't have any objections. She knew that she would only become a burden to Miao Yi if she stayed.
Instead, the Devil Nation Overlord went to ask for Cloud Leopard's opinion. Cloud Leopard gave a slight nod in agreement. Only then did he return and quietly take Qin Weiwei away.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi quickly tore off the mask on his face and changed back into his original clothes. He grabbed a dagger and immediately made a small cut on his arm. He wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth a few times, then quickly messed up his hair and tore off his clothes. After that, he quickly rolled around on the ground, tormenting himself into a sorry state, as though he had suffered a great calamity.
When the other Devil Nation Overlord saw him like this, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Young Master Miao, what are you doing?"
Miao Yi jumped up from the ground and looked at himself. He was quite satisfied, then replied, "Get ready. The fight is about to begin!" With that, he quickly slipped away.
Inside the loft, Feng Beichen stood in front of the window lattice and tilted his head to look at Qin Xi beside him. "I don't think there's a need for the competition. I believe that Mister Zi Yang has the ability to refine it. What do you think, Madam?"
Qin Xi calmly replied, "I don't understand."
Feng Beichen was already used to her behavior. He then turned to Miao Junyi behind him and said, "Junyi, there's no rush in the competition. Let's keep this Zi Yang in our hands first, in case someone tries to harm him later. Go!"
Soon, Miao Junyi appeared again. She stared at Yao Ruoxian below and said, "Zi Yang. Put the competition aside for now. Go back with your Senior Brother and discuss the details of the competition. We have other matters to settle here! Baiting, take your Junior Brother away first. "
"Understood!" Xiang Baiting was suspicious, but he still complied.
"Hold it!" Cloud Leopard suddenly shouted. "Mister Zi Yang has already been expelled by your Exquisite Refinement Sect. If you let him go with you, who knows if you'll do anything to him? That's not fair to the competition! How about this? You can continue to settle your grudges with the Celestial Nation. Since I'm not involved, why don't I stand on the sidelines and play the middleman? Let Mister Zi Yang stay with me for now. I promise to keep him safe! "He thumped his chest loudly as he made his promise.
"Cloud Leopard, you're wrong. How can you say that the grudges with the Celestial Nation have nothing to do with you? We don't even know if your Great Devil Realm's son-in-law is dead or alive. You'd better settle this matter first!" Yu Nujiao stepped forward and said loudly, "Mister Zi Yang, I'm the most suitable person to be the middleman."
Fahai also appeared in a flash. "Yu Nujiao, this poor monk is also suitable to be the middleman."
Yu Nujiao's eyes flashed, and she suddenly giggled. "You're right. Only our two families are uninvolved in today's matters. Fahai, why don't we join forces and be the middleman?"
She knew very well that neither side would allow Mister Zi Yang to be taken away so easily today. It would be difficult for her family to take him away by herself, so it would be better to join forces.
