139: Brilliant

"Good!"

"Our Qingyuan Sect agrees!"

Without further thought, Venerable Weiyun nodded directly.

No one else opposed it either.

"How shall we trade?"

The people of the Qingyuan Sect looked at the taiyin demon puppet impatiently.

"Hand over the items first. Once I have finished the inventory, I will naturally open the gate of the world for you!"

Venerable Weiyun's face darkened. "Wouldn't that leave us with no guarantees? How can we be convinced by such actions, Fellow Daoist?"

What if they handed everything over, and this Clone just walked away? What then?

"Can we hand over half first?"

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Taiyin."

"At the very least, you should let us see what the gate of the world looks like first, right?"

The taiyin demon puppet smiled and spoke a few words lightly; its rows of pale fangs looked extremely terrifying.

"You have no choice!"

The surroundings instantly fell into a dead silence.

Indeed.

The chips in Yu Xuzi's hands were too significant.

Once the hope of helping them escape the age of decadence world was thrown out, these people from the Qingyuan Sect would only act like they had caught a life-saving straw, desperately begging to leave!

"Fine! Fellow Daoist Taiyin, could you grant us a two-day grace period? Our Sect needs to pack up and make some preparations!"

"Naturally. However, I advise you to honestly hand over everything. Let it be said beforehand: if the items provided do not satisfy me, the gate of the world will absolutely not be opened."

Yu Xuzi gave one final warning.

Don't think you can just hand over a couple of Tier 3 Magic Treasures or Talismans to get by.

At worst, he would just resort to brute force and rob them!

If he couldn't win the fight, he'd just wait a few more years.

It was impossible for him to suffer a loss.

With those words, Yu Xuzi controlled the taiyin demon puppet to fly to a low peak next to the Qingyuan Main Peak, while simultaneously activating the Spell, Grand Yin Star God Body.

"Boom!!!"

The taiyin demon puppet, whose original body was only fifty zhang tall, instantly expanded to a height of a hundred zhang. Its wings, spanning two hundred zhang, unfurled with a roar, as countless black lightning bolts and storms swirled incessantly.

High in the sky.

As the puppet's Aura—at the Peak of the Second Stage and infinitely close to the Third Stage—soared into the sky, the firmament for dozens of miles around was instantly covered in dense clouds, and dark red Evil Qi blotted out the sun.

"I will wait right here for two days!"

Having spoken, its deep blue pupils stared intently at the Qingyuan Sect Main Peak; its body remained motionless as the Divided Soul fell into silence.

This was a blatant and bold intimidation.

However, even if the people of the Qingyuan Sect felt displeasure in their hearts, they didn't dare harbor any other thoughts. After being shocked by the powerful strength of the taiyin demon puppet, they immediately began organizing the Sect, intending to relocate and flee.

"Such an astonishing and terrifying demonic creature... I wonder how many living beings and Mortals were harmed to refine it.

It's truly a sin..."

Venerable Weiyun glanced warily at that massive body, which resembled a demon god, muttering to himself.

One could tell just by looking at that endless, bloody Evil Qi!

This Venerable Taiyin is definitely not a good person.

He is likely a bloodthirsty Devil Head!

However, this also proved that there was absolutely no problem with Venerable Taiyin's origins; he truly was someone from beyond the heavens.

Such a shocking creation of the Demonic Path could never have been born in this realm, and there were no traces of it before.

Just then, an Elder spoke softly, interrupting his thoughts: "Sect Master, the Spiritual Vein beneath our mountain..."

"Dig it up!"

Venerable Weiyun uttered just one word.

"..."

What talk of rebellion or violating the harmony of heaven?

It's the age of decadence anyway.

Besides, the Qingyuan Sect is about to flee; if we don't take it, wouldn't we just be letting others benefit?

Even if it violates the harmony of heaven, can the Heavenly Dao of the Qingyuan Realm cross worlds to bring down a tribulation on someone?

"Yes! Sect Master! We guarantee we'll dig it out completely!"

...Two days later.

"Are these your treasures?"

As a booming, thunderous hum died down, the Divided Soul within the taiyin demon puppet reawakened, and the puppet subsequently shrank its body and landed on the ground.

Before him, the Elders of the Qingyuan Sect had gathered, each holding a jade tray or supporting a Sealed jade box.

"Cough, cough... Yes, everything is here."

Venerable Weiyun's Aura grew increasingly weak; he could barely stand upright.

With a wave of his hand, he first presented ten Tier 3 Magic Treasures of various shapes, all shimmering with spiritual light.

The first item was a palm-sized green jade Seal, with a miniature star mark carved on the handle.

"This item is called the [star seal], a Tier 3 Medium Grade Magic Treasure. It was the famous Magic Treasure of our Sect's previous Sect Master, True Person Yanling. Once activated, it can transform into a massive size of several hundred zhang to suppress enemies, possessing infinite power."

The second item was a pair of light blue short spikes as thin as cicada wings, with dense patterns of spiritual light flowing like water ripples.

"This is the [flowing light water-splitting thorn], a Tier 3 Low Grade Magic Treasure. When swung, it can draw in water spirit energy and split into thousands of attacks, making it swift and unpredictable. It is an excellent Magic Treasure for breaking Formations and launching sneak attacks, left behind by an Immortal Master from two generations ago in our Sect."

The third item was a three-legged red copper cauldron with a flame totem carved on its body.

"This is the [Earth Dragon Furnace], a Tier 3 Low Grade Magic Treasure. It is also a precious furnace for Alchemy refined by the old Sect Master, True Person Yanling. It can also spit out concentrated Earth Fire, serving both offense and defense."

As he spoke, Venerable Weiyun gently stroked the precious furnace, his voice filled with emotion.

"This was also the last Magic Treasure born in our world.

After this, the Cultivation Resources between heaven and earth plummeted. Almost all Tier 3 Materials went extinct. Without Materials, all skills are useless."

"And now, the Immortal Masters are no longer here. We descendants find it incredibly difficult to activate even a tiny bit of these Magic Treasures..."

Yu Xuzi did not speak.

After a few breaths, Venerable Weiyun finally came back to his senses.

"I have made a fool of myself before you, Fellow Daoist."

He continued his introduction: "This is the Blazing Sun Treasure Shield, a Tier 3 Low Grade Magic Treasure with unparalleled defense. It was the last thing the old Sect Master snatched from the Blazing Sun Palace."

"This is the Spirit-Binding Star Rope, a Tier 3 Low Grade Magic Treasure left by our Sect a thousand years ago. It is exceptionally agile and can completely bind and Seal an enemy's movement and mana circulation."

"This is the Thunder-Cloud Piercing Awl, a Tier 3 High Grade Magic Treasure. When activated, it sounds like a thunderclap, specializing in breaking protective spirit shields and various Formation nodes.

However, because it was left behind by our Sect's last Late Stage Great Immortal Master over three thousand years ago, and because the Magic Treasure itself suffered heavy damage and hasn't been refined or nurtured for a long time, its spiritual light has diminished, and its power is severely lacking."

"This is the King Kang Seal, the Legacy Magic Treasure of the former Kang Country's royal family, a Tier 3 Low Grade Magic Treasure. This is the Litian Sword, a Tier 3 Low Grade Magic Treasure, also snatched... and..."

A total of ten Magic Treasures!

Yu Xuzi was almost dumbfounded.

He knew the Qingyuan Sect had a solid foundation, but he never expected them to have so many Magic Treasures!

It almost matched the number of their Dao Foundation Elders.

And among them, only a mere three Magic Treasures were snatched from others by True Person Yanling before his death; the vast majority were their own.
