306: Chapter 306 All-Powerful Treasure
When he saw the several people following behind Yun Ge, Immortal Emperor's expression instantly changed. His pupils shrank, and Imperial Dao Dragon Qi rose around him as his face filled with wariness.
That Golden Immortal Realm Fallen Immortal!
Su Mo ignored the wariness of Immortal Emperor and the others. Instead, his gaze landed on the ground with great interest.
On a greyish-white sphere shaped like a goose egg.
Indeed, this was the world that Fu Tianming had previously used to suppress Su Mo.
"The speed of this goose egg of yours is quite fast."
Su Mo sized up the sphere, a hint of appreciation in his tone.
He had seen this thing used for suppression before, but he hadn't expected it to be used like this.
It could serve as a weapon, a flying boat, and even seemed capable of storing items and living beings... It was truly an all-purpose treasure that integrated offense, defense, escape techniques, and storage!
A rare look of pride appeared on Fu Tianming's face.
"I snatched this from many people and refined it with numerous immortal materials. Naturally, it's not something ordinary Immortal Treasures can compare to."
Hearing this, a thought occurred to Su Mo.
He had refined most of the Heavenly Dao Origin of the Cangxu Realm.
Once his cultivation reached the Peak Profound Immortal stage, he could also completely refine the Cangxu Realm into his own.
Next, Su Mo turned his gaze toward Immortal Emperor, who had been watching them warily.
This man had an extraordinary bearing, wearing a four-clawed dragon robe with Dragon Qi faintly surrounding him, clearly indicating a noble status.
More importantly, Su Mo felt a familiar aura from him.
It shared the same source as the power within the fragmented dragon seal jade seal in his body.
Imperial Dao Dragon Qi!
This meant the person before him was likely a core member of the Huangji Immortal Dynasty's royal family, and held a high status.
"Who are you?"
Su Mo asked.
Immortal Emperor felt a chill in his heart and did not dare to be negligent.
He immediately cupped his hands:
"I am the First Prince of the Huangji Immortal Dynasty—Immortal Emperor. Greetings, Fellow Daoist."
He lowered his posture because he noticed that the Golden Immortal Realm Fallen Immortal behind Su Mo was following Su Mo's lead.
Could it be... he really subdued a Golden Immortal Realm Fallen Immortal?!
The thought made Immortal Emperor feel a sense of alarm.
Hearing this, Su Mo's eyes instantly lit up!
The First Prince of the Huangji Immortal Dynasty?!
This identity was just perfect!
He was just worrying about how to legitimately obtain the massive resources in the Huangji Immortal Dynasty's Palace Treasury.
While taking it by force wasn't impossible, it would be troublesome and easily attract unnecessary attention and sieges.
If he could leverage this First Prince's identity and power, things would undoubtedly go much more smoothly.
A plan instantly formed in Su Mo's mind.
A smile appeared on his face as he nodded to Immortal Emperor:
"So it is First Prince Zhao. A pleasure to meet you."
Immortal Emperor hurriedly replied:
"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist Su..."
Before he could finish, Su Mo changed the subject and asked pointedly, as if in casual conversation:
"I've heard that the emperors of every dynasty possess a dragon seal jade seal that symbolizes destiny and imperial power, is that right?"
Immortal Emperor was slightly stunned, not understanding why Su Mo suddenly brought this up.
He answered:
"Correct. The dragon seal jade seal is a supreme heirloom of my Huangji Immortal Dynasty."
Su Mo nodded, then a hint of well-timed confusion appeared on his face as he asked softly:
"But how is it that I've heard... this dragon seal jade seal of your Huangji Immortal Dynasty is fragmented?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Immortal Emperor's pupils instantly shrank to the size of pinpricks!
How could he know?!
The dragon seal jade seal was indeed fragmented, but this was a top-level secret of the Huangji Immortal Dynasty!
Aside from his Imperial Father and himself, the First Prince who had long been designated as the successor, absolutely no third person knew!
This imperial seal was not only a symbol of imperial power but also the core key for their Zhao Royal Family to Cultivate imperial Cultivation Techniques and charge toward the Great Dao of the Golden Immortal!
The fragmentation of the imperial seal was the fundamental reason why his Imperial Father had been stuck at the Peak Profound Immortal realm for many years, unable to take the final step to become a Golden Immortal.
Once this secret leaked and became known to other princes or hostile forces, it would be enough to shake the Foundations of the nation and trigger a cataclysmic upheaval!
Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in Immortal Emperor's eyes.
Sure enough, in the next second, Su Mo spoke again, saying slowly:
"I wonder, First Prince, would you be willing to make a deal with me?"
Immortal Emperor forcibly suppressed his thoughts and immediately replied via voice transmission:
"What deal?"
The smile on Su Mo's face deepened, and he also transmitted back:
"What a coincidence. I happen to have a fragmented dragon seal jade seal I picked up. Looking at its patterns and aura... it seems it might just fit together with the one passed down in your Huangji Immortal Dynasty?"
Boom!
Although he had already guessed it, hearing Su Mo confirm it with his own ears, Immortal Emperor couldn't help but feel wild joy in his heart!
It really was the missing part!
This was simply a joy from the heavens!
If the imperial seal could be completed, his Imperial Father's Breakthrough to Golden Immortal would be just around the corner, and he would be next!
"Fellow Daoist Su... what do you want?"
"I don't want much, just the things in your Palace Treasury."
Immortal Emperor felt a sense of relief. Although the treasury resources were precious, it would absolutely be worth it if they could get the dragon seal jade seal fragment back.
He hurriedly followed up:
"What things? Fellow Daoist, please speak freely. As long as I can make the decision, I will certainly..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by two words Su Mo lightly spat out:
"Everything."
...A deathly silence.
The expression on Immortal Emperor's face instantly froze, doubting if he had misheard.
Everything?!
Everything in the Palace Treasury?!
That wasn't just mountains of immortal essence stones, exotic flowers and herbs, and divine iron and immortal gold!
It also included the Cultivation Techniques, Secret Manuals, and ancient Legacies accumulated over countless years since the founding of the Huangji Immortal Dynasty... that was where the dynasty's ten-thousand-year Foundation lay!
It was the fundamental basis for maintaining the operation of a massive immortal dynasty, nurturing the strong, and responding to crises.
This was hardly "not wanting much" from Su Mo; he clearly intended to hollow out the very Foundation of the Huangji Immortal Dynasty.
"Fellow Daoist Su..." Immortal Emperor's voice was dry, "Are you joking? This... how is this possible?!"
The smile on Su Mo's face gradually faded, his eyes calm. He looked at Immortal Emperor and transmitted:
"First Prince, do you think this item isn't worth that price?"
Immortal Emperor's face turned pale and blue in turns as an internal struggle raged within him.
After a moment of contemplation, Immortal Emperor took a deep breath and transmitted:
"Fellow Daoist Su, this matter is of too great importance and is absolutely not something I can decide alone. I need to report to my Imperial Father and discuss it."
"Fine."
Su Mo paused:
"But you'll have to be quick. I might head over to the Xuan Ye Immortal Dynasty in a couple of days. Perhaps someone there would also be interested in this."
Hearing this, Immortal Emperor's heart sank.
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Su. By tomorrow at the latest, I will certainly give you a clear answer."
Su Mo nodded slowly:
"Good. Then I shall await the First Prince's good news tomorrow."
Having said that, the First Prince simply left Prince of Zhenbei and Li Xinghe behind, vanishing instantly as he drove his flying boat away.
