663: Chapter 663 The Precious Elixir Exhibition, Ancient Farewell to the Crown Prince

Hun Tiandi needed to make preparations to implement his plan when the time came.

In the cultivation room, numerous Formations were activated to ensure that not a single trace of aura would leak out.

Buzz!

With a flick of his sleeve, a bronze light burst forth, and a giant bronze scroll appeared before him, emitting a startling aura.

"Your Majesty, this is..." The Array Emperor's eyes erupted with a sharp light, speaking in disbelief.

"The 'holy scripture', a peerless holy artifact from the Major Thousand Worlds. During the Battle of the Black Sea, Zhuge Xuan fought against foreign powerhouses. Through a twist of Destiny, it fell into my hands."

"The holy scripture has already been unsealed by Zhuge Xuan. What you need to do is obtain its contents and comprehend them well!"

Hun Tiandi looked deeply at the Array Emperor and spoke in a heavy voice.

"Yes!" The Array Emperor gave a respectful bow; how could he pass up such a peerless Opportunity?

Immediately, he released his Soul Power to read the contents of the holy scripture. The vast aura impacted his mind as he sat cross-legged to organize and transform the information.

This lasted for three days. The contents of the holy scripture were too vast. When the final trace of runes entered his brow...

The holy scripture's light dimmed. Hun Tiandi nodded slightly and put away the holy scripture with a wave of his sleeve.

He took a deep look at the Array Emperor, then turned and left the cultivation room.

The Yang World, Western Regions, Gantian City.

The life-extending treasure pill belonging to Hun Tiandi, the Lord of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty, had already been confirmed by the Emperor of Da Gan. It was absolutely genuine, the real deal.

It had been appraised right within the imperial court hall.

This was no small matter. While everyone had been skeptical before, their dreams had now come true as it was confirmed.

The entire Gantian Holy Capital was in an uproar. The news didn't just spread within the Gantian Holy Capital; it radiated outward at a terrifying speed.

The world's strongest treasure pill—suddenly, the winds of change were blowing in Gantian Holy Capital.

A treasure pill that could extend one's life by a thousand years; the whole world moved upon hearing the news.

There was no need for the Darong Chamber of Commerce to advertise. Nian Haocang's confirmation alone was enough to settle the authenticity of the treasure pill.

Anyone who received the news flocked toward Gantian Holy Capital—Sects, Imperial Dynasties, Heavenly Dynasties, the Ancient Eight Clans, and even Demonic Beast families.

Which power didn't have powerhouses whose Lifespan was nearing its end? One must know that these old monsters spent years in closed-door cultivation, attempting to break through to higher Realms.

They did this to increase their Lifespan, and they would only emerge if their clan faced a crisis of extermination.

Outside the Gantian Side Hall, people bustled in the streets, and even the restaurants were packed to the brim.

Nearly every inn and restaurant was operating beyond capacity.

Creak!

The hall doors opened, and instantly, countless strands of Soul Power reached out. They were desperate for the life-extending pill; even if they couldn't eat it, getting a chance to catch a scent would be enough.

Liu Ling walked out slowly, his gaze scanning the surroundings with a calm expression.

"No way, Princess Youyou hasn't agreed yet? Does there still need to be a competition?"

"Someone's coming out? Are they leaving?"

Liu Ling took out a hundred-zhang-tall stone tablet from his storage ring. With a flip of his hand, it landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Boom!

Everyone looked at the stone tablet. In the next moment, they all blinked, as if they had seen some unbelievable inscription.

"Am I still dreaming?"

"Damn it, what am I seeing?"

"Paid viewing!"

"I, Hun Tiandi, obtained a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill through Destiny. It has been appraised by the Emperor of Da Gan; consuming it increases one's life by at least a thousand years. This item is Heaven-Defying, and I wish to share its viewing with the world's heroes."

"Starting now, a Treasure Pill Exhibition will be held in the Gantian Side Hall. Each person gets five breaths of time. Please line up to enter."

"The fee is just one dou wang pill. If anyone breaks the rules, the exhibition will stop immediately. I hope everyone cooperates."

Looking at the 'paid viewing' on the stone tablet, everyone was dumbfounded.

If anyone else obtained a divine object like a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, they would surely hide it away to keep others from knowing.

"What is this Hun Tiandi doing?"

"Is he crazy? Sharing it with all the heroes of the world?"

They couldn't believe it. Was Hun Tiandi's head malfunctioning? Just one dou wang pill? Only that much?

Holy crap, doesn't that mean everyone in Gantian Holy Capital can see it?

Five breaths of time? If one could just catch a whiff, wouldn't that add at least ten years to their life?

Soon, tables were set up outside the Gantian Hall. After paying one dou wang pill, one could enter.

The first person led the way, followed by a second, a third... a long queue formed at the Gantian Hall.

Some onlookers were patient at first, but seeing the long line growing frantically, they had no choice but to join the queue as well.

In the blink of an eye, the line stretched across a dozen streets.

Countless commoners were also filled with curiosity as queues formed in front of their own shops.

"Teacher, what is this Hun Tiandi up to? Openly exhibiting a treasure pill?" Mu Qingluan asked, puzzled.

"A Treasure Pill Exhibition? I'm afraid he has a deeper scheme," Yun Yun said coldly. As the Sect Master of the Flower Sect, she was naturally used to intrigue and power plays.

Saint Feng didn't say anything upon hearing this, but stared deeply at the long queue in the distance.

"Young Clan Leader, if we can get that life-extending pill, the Grand Elder's Lifespan issue can be resolved!"

In a restaurant, a silver-robed youth with a sturdy build and large, thick-browed eyes sat. A silver lightning rune was on his brow, and his entire body emitted an aura that made the Soul tremble.

Standing behind him were four elders with auras as deep as an abyss. One of them had spoken.

"Young Miss Xuanji is the Empress of the Dazheng Empire. Would it be better to just ask for it? This exhibition queue has too many variables."

The leading elder said in a deep voice, thunder flickering in his eyes. This group was naturally the experts of the Lei Clan.

"Life-extending pill? Treasure Pill Exhibition?"

On another side was a woman in a purple-gold dragon robe with a full figure and golden pupils, her entire body radiating a kingly aura.

Her slender fingers toyed with her purple hair, which shimmered with a crystalline light.

She was Dragon Phoenix Zi Yan of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

"Hun Tiandi, this Emperor wants that pill!" Zi Yan spoke coldly, her voice laced with a clear killing intent.

"A Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill?" In the restaurant, a white-haired elder with deep eyes looked toward the Gantian Side Hall.

He was filled with killing intent. If Hun Tiandi were here, he would surely recognize this elder.

One of the Dan Ta Three Giants, Xuan Kongzi.

"Hun Tiandi destroyed my Physical Body; let this Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill serve as compensation!"

Xuan Kongzi said indifferently. However, the aura he emitted was filled with a violent Evil Qi, making him seem like a peerless Demonic Beast.

At the same time, the Gu Clan, Yan Clan, Lei Clan, Nine Serene Earth Python Clan...

A single Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill had stirred the winds and clouds of the Western Regions.

Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty, Xuantian Holy Capital.

In the imperial court, Emperor Gu Xuan sat upon the dragon throne, looking down upon the world with an imperial aura.

Emperor Gu Xuan said faintly, "Prince Zhenshan, how is the investigation into the matter of the First Prince?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the death of the First Prince has been fully investigated. When the refinement of the evil infant life-extending pill was completed, he fought with Hun Tiandi and fell by his hand. Furthermore, that Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill was snatched away."

"Currently, he has set up a Treasure Pill Exhibition in the Western Regions. For just one dou wang pill, one can view it for five breaths."

Prince Zhenshan stood in the center of the hall and gave a respectful bow as he explained the sequence of events.

"What? He killed the First Prince? And stole the treasure pill?"

"We request Your Majesty to issue an imperial decree to execute Hun Tiandi!"

The officials petitioned, asking the Emperor to give the order.

"Guards, summon the Second Prince for an audience!" Emperor Gu Xuan spoke faintly.

Immediately, a eunuch left quickly to convey the Emperor's verbal command.

In a side hall, a youth dressed in a python robe sat cross-legged, cultivating. Qi circulated around him as the energy of heaven and earth was refined.

After finishing his technique, he suddenly opened his eyes, and two golden lights shot out from them.

He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and slowly stood up.

Knock, knock...

A rhythmic knocking came from outside the hall. The youth frowned slightly. "Enter."

"This servant greets the Second Prince!" A beautiful maidservant gave a slight bow.

"There is a verbal command from His Majesty!"

"The Second Prince is summoned to the main hall for a discussion!"

"Oh? It seems there is news regarding the death of my dear elder brother!" The Second Prince let out a light laugh.

He then stepped out of the hall and followed the eunuch away.

In the imperial court.

"Your son greets Imperial Father!" The Second Prince gave a respectful bow.

"Ci'er, I am summoning you to handle a major matter. Go to Gantian City in the Western Regions, reclaim the treasure pill, and execute Hun Tiandi!"

Emperor Gu Xuan said with majesty.

"Your son obeys the decree!" The Second Prince, Gu Ci, accepted the order and slowly stood up.

"Court is adjourned!" Subsequently, Emperor Gu Xuan left the hall, and the officials filed out.
