Everyone turned to look at the person who had spoken, and their hearts were all stirred.
The imperial palace was not taking the divine casket with them, but instead handing it over to the Shangqing Domain, where they had found it. How generous was that?
Perhaps only the imperial palace could be so generous as to not even want the body of an ancient god of the Great Path.
Otherwise, the imperial palace would have sent the divine casket to the imperial palace with a single word.
However, the imperial palace had given the order to let them deal with it themselves.
However, who could compete with the Domain Chief's Manor for this?
The divine casket would probably remain in the Domain Chief's Manor forever and become a divine item of the manor.
Of course, even with that thought in mind, it would not be easy for the Domain Chief's Manor to take it for themselves with so many cultivators from all the top forces present.
At this moment, the space seemed exceptionally quiet. All the top figures were present, but none of them said anything as they looked at Chief Zhou, who had just walked out of the Domain Chief's Manor.
The atmosphere in the space seemed a little strange. It seemed that they were all waiting for someone else to speak first.
"The Great Emperor was generous enough to give the divine casket to the cultivators of the Shangqing Domain." After a moment of silence, someone finally spoke first. The person who spoke was the head of the Nanhai family. He looked at Chief Zhou and said, "The divine casket was first discovered by the Nanhai family, and Chief Zhou brought it here and reported it to the imperial palace. Now that the imperial palace has spoken, how does Chief Zhou intend to deal with the divine casket?"
The divine casket was extraordinary. Even if none of them were able to comprehend it at the moment, they knew how valuable the sacred remains in the divine casket was. That was the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor, and it had turned into countless characters of the Great Path. It was just a corpse, and it was impossible to pry into. Top figures like them, who dominated the Shangqing Domain, would suffer a backlash if they looked at it, and they might even get injured if they looked at it for too long.
If they could take it back to their families and slowly comprehend it …
Of course, they weren't the only ones who had such thoughts. All of these top forces wanted to take it for themselves and understand the mysteries of the sacred remains. Taking a step back, if they were to become stronger in the future, they might be able to use the sacred remains to understand what kind of realm the Emperor Realm was.
No matter who wanted it, no one else would be willing to give it up so easily, not even the Domain Chief's Manor.
Chief Zhou scanned the crowd and did not respond for a while after hearing the question. As the most powerful person in the Shangqing Domain, he had no way to order the cultivators of the top forces in the Shangqing Domain around. Those forces were not his direct subordinates. They were all cultivators from the Divine Prefecture. While they would show him respect, they would not follow his orders.
Especially when it came to the divine item, he naturally understood that if the Domain Chief's Manor wanted to monopolize the divine item, it would probably incur the wrath of the masses. All the forces would be dissatisfied with the Domain Chief's Manor or him, and it was even possible that they would publicly turn against him.
Therefore, he had to be careful.
"The divine casket of Shenjia the Great Emperor was discovered in the Cangyuan Continent by accident and is considered an unclaimed item. Although many people discovered its existence before, no one was able to take it away until you all arrived and brought it here to report to the Imperial Palace. Now, the Imperial Palace's response is to let the Shangqing Domain handle it ourselves. The Great Emperor is a wise man and hopes that the martial arts of the Divine Prefecture will flourish. He is even willing to let the divine casket belong to the Shangqing Domain, hoping that the cultivators of the Shangqing Domain will be able to use the divine casket to comprehend." The Chief said loudly, "In that case, we will not disappoint the Great Emperor."
Everyone listened quietly, but some people were already frowning. The leader of the Nanhai Family could vaguely read between the lines. It seemed that the Domain Chief's Manor still wanted to firmly control the divine casket after all.
As expected, the Chief continued, "I will build a divine mausoleum next to the Domain Chief's Manor and put the divine casket of Shenjia the Great Emperor in it. I will also send people to guard it. The top figures of all continents can enter the divine mausoleum to look at it. Other cultivators of the Shangqing Domain can also enter as long as they are powerful enough. The cultivators of the Shangqing Domain will be able to look at the body of Shenjia the Great Emperor for generations to comprehend. What do you all think?"
Everyone understood what he said. Building a divine mausoleum next to the Domain Chief's Manor and putting the divine casket in the divine mausoleum meant that it would be under the control of the Domain Chief's Manor. They could study the divine casket and comprehend it at any time. On the other hand, the cultivators of the top forces couldn't just sit in the Shangqing Continent and comprehend it all day long.
The divine casket was an extraordinary item. It was not that easy to comprehend it.
As soon as the divine mausoleum was built, it would be completely under the control of the Domain Chief's Manor.
However, the Chief's words were impeccable, and there was no reason to refute him. If they didn't put the divine casket next to the Domain Chief's Manor, would they put it on the continent they were in?
Furthermore, the land they were standing on was right outside the Domain Chief's Manor.
The chief of the Nanhai family said that they discovered it, but the Chief's words were equivalent to denying it. The divine casket was discovered by chance, and the first person to discover it didn't even have the right to enter. The first people to see the divine casket were Muyun Lan and Ye Futian, but it couldn't be said that the divine casket belonged to anyone who saw it.
Anything without an owner could be fought over.
However, since no one fought over it and it was brought here, the initiative was naturally in the Chief's hands.
As such, there was a moment of silence. No one said anything, and everyone seemed to be thinking.
Although they were all unhappy, no one stood up to refute him. Who would be the first to say no? Wouldn't that be directly offending the Chief? Furthermore, it might not even be meaningful.
Furthermore, the Chief didn't say that the divine mausoleum would be built inside the Domain Chief's Manor. Instead, he said that it would be built in another divine mausoleum. He was already taking everyone's opinion into consideration. Otherwise, if it was built inside the Domain Chief's Manor, it would belong to the Domain Chief's Manor.
Of course, the nature of it was more or less the same.
"If the divine mausoleum is built, can we juniors enter it to cultivate at any time?" the chief of the Nanhai family asked again.
"Of course," the Chief said. "All the top forces of the Upper Nine Heavens, including the cultivators of Four Corner Village, can enter the divine mausoleum at any time."
Everyone nodded slightly. It seemed that they had no choice but to accept it.
In terms of strength in the Shangqing Domain, the Domain Chief's Manor was still probably the strongest. Both the chief and his son were extraordinary figures. Not to mention the chief, even the young chief, Zhou Muhuang, was a force to be reckoned with.
Moreover, all the forces did not need to give the Domain Chief's Manor any face. Even if some people disagreed, nothing would change in the end.
Where else could the divine casket be placed other than here?
"Alright, since the Domain Chief has spoken, we have no objections," the chief of the Nanhai family said. He simply agreed for the sake of the Chief's face.
"I have no objections either," the chief of the Lu family said as well.
Since the chiefs of the two top clans had agreed, what else could the others have to say? They all agreed to build a divine mausoleum next to the Domain Chief's Manor and put the divine casket in it.
"Alright, in that case, it is decided. I will order people to build the divine mausoleum and move the divine casket into it. When the divine mausoleum is completed, we will gather here and discuss some matters. After all, we called you all here for something else, but the appearance of the divine casket has disrupted our plans," the chief continued. Everyone nodded. This time, it was the chief who called them here, not because of the divine casket.
The appearance of the divine casket was just an accident.
At that moment, Ye Futian, who was sitting there recovering, opened his eyes and looked at the chief. The divine casket would not be taken away by the imperial palace, which made him feel more at ease. He would have more time to comprehend it.
After all, the cultivators of Four Corner Village could enter the divine mausoleum at any time.
"Now, Mr. Ye, there is no need to be in such a hurry. You will have plenty of time to comprehend it in the future, "Zhou Lingxi said to Ye Futian with a smile. Before, she could tell that Ye Futian seemed to be fighting for time.
But now, there was no need.
Ye Futian nodded and said, "The Great Emperor is magnanimous."
"Indeed." Zhou Lingxi nodded and said, "Alright, in that case, Mr. Ye, let's go out. Shall I show you around the Domain Chief's Manor?"
Ye Futian looked at Zhou Lingxi and said, "Thank you, Princess Lingxi. I have indeed been rather tired from cultivating for the past few days. It would be good for me to rest. However, I will not disturb you any longer. I would like to return to the inn to rest."
"Alright." Zhou Lingxi did not say anything else. She nodded and said, "Then, you can go to the Domain Chief's Manor when you have the time."
"Alright." Ye Futian nodded, and the two of them walked out of the space.
Zhou Lingxi bid farewell to Ye Futian after they came out and went to the chief's side. This scene made the chief look at Ye Futian.
Ye Futian walked back to his seat and saw a pair of beautiful eyes looking at him coldly. He could not help but feel a little depressed. He lowered his head and rubbed his forehead, saying, "Let's go back first."
