257: Emperor's Seal

After happily putting away the Spirit Stones, Granny Xie left immediately.

Lulu happily threw herself at your side, her face full of excitement: "Thank you, Young Master. I will definitely serve you well from now on."

You opened your palm, crushed the jade pendant casually, and it turned into fragments. At the same time, a ball of flame ignited in your palm, burning the contract to ashes.

"We have known each other for a while, so consider this a gift from me. As for when you wish to leave, it is entirely up to you," you said calmly.

Lulu's eyes turned red, and hot tears rolled down her cheeks. She pursed her lips and looked at you: "Thank you, Young Master. I am willing to serve you; please do not send me away."

Meanwhile—

The sound of laughter coming from the Heaven-class private room on the third floor caught your attention.

That Heaven-class private room is rarely used; in these past few months, this is the first time you have seen anyone there.

The people capable of using that Heaven-class private room must have extraordinary identities.

Through their conversation, you learned the identities of the five of them, which were—

Jiang Hao, Young Master of the wealthiest Jiang Family; Prince Ji Kang of the Immortal Dynasty; Princess Ji Yao, the Ninth Princess of the Immortal Dynasty; Venerable Zhiyuan; and True Man Yangming, a manager of Langgan Pavilion.

This Venerable Zhiyuan is the commander of the Imperial Law Enforcement Agency in Tianyu City, and his strength has reached the Late Golden Core Stage.

As for True Man Yangming, the manager of Langgan Pavilion, he also possesses Late Golden Core Stage cultivation.

Among the five, except for Ji Yao who is at the Foundation Establishment Realm, the other four are all Golden Core Cultivators.

You saw a flash of mysterious light in Jiang Hao's palm, and a rare treasure appeared out of thin air.

The treasure was shaped like a pair of purple jade rings connected head to tail, with misty rosy light flowing throughout its body.

The ring's body was crystal clear. Upon closer inspection, two condensed and unyielding purple halos were sealed inside, slowly rotating with the fluctuation of spiritual power, opening and closing slightly like a living thing, as if a pair of sleeping spiritual eyes had just awakened.

"Thanks to True Man Yangming's guidance last time, I was able to refine this Magic Treasure, the Illusory Extinction Pupil. I offer you a toast!" Jiang Hao said happily.

This Magic Treasure, the Illusory Extinction Pupil, was refined using that blind man's Purple Light Spirit Pupil. It can launch a Divine Soul attack, causing the target to fall into a moment of dizziness and sluggishness, making it a rare treasure for Golden Core Cultivators.

After all, when fighting within the same Realm, that one moment is enough to determine life or death.

True Man Yangming smiled and raised his glass: "Young Master Jiang is too polite. You have helped me a lot in the past, so I should be the one thanking you."

"We are all our own people here, why be so polite! Come, I will also toast Young Master Jiang. Congratulations on obtaining such a treasure; you will have a better chance when the Mysterious Immortal Palace appears in the future," Venerable Zhiyuan chimed in.

As everyone raised their glasses, Jiang Hao saw that Prince Ji Kang looked troubled, so he asked: "Brother Ji, why do you look so worried?"

Prince Ji Kang squeezed out a smile: "Brother Jiang, you make me look bad. I have encountered a troublesome matter recently, but it is fine. Let us not talk about other things today. I also congratulate you, brother, on obtaining such a treasure."

"Brother Ji, do not be a stranger. We have been brothers for many years; if you have any difficulties, just tell me directly!" Jiang Hao said seriously as he put down his wine glass.

Prince Ji Kang's expression was grave. Beside him, Ji Yao spoke up casually: "Who else could it be? It is all because of that Ji Hui. She refuses to be a proper Saintess and insists on coming here to fight my brother for the throne, wanting to become the Empress. It is truly infuriating."

Prince Ji Kang looked at Ji Yao and scolded: "Yaoer, shut up!"

Jiang Hao frowned and said seriously: "This matter is indeed difficult to handle."

As he spoke, he looked at True Man Yangming: "However, your Langgan Pavilion..."

He waved his hand, casting a stream of spiritual light to conceal the aura and sounds inside the private room.

However, with his level of strength, he naturally could not block your Divine Sense.

Your Divine Sense easily penetrated the barrier, and you heard what he said next.

"Doesn't Langgan Pavilion have connections? Can't you send someone to eliminate Ji Hui?" Jiang Hao looked at True Man Yangming.

True Man Yangming smiled indifferently: "These are all small matters. I thought it was something major. It is just that behind Ji Hui is the Divine Dragon Cult, so the cost, well..."

Prince Ji Kang's eyes lit up as he looked at True Man Yangming: "What conditions are required?"

"The human emperors seal!" A meaningful smile appeared on True Man Yangming's face.

The human emperors seal is a supreme treasure passed down by the emperors of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty through generations.

It is neither gold nor jade. It is said that the First Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty forged it by melting down the "Primordial Mother Qi" and the "Dragon vein core." Since the day it was forged, it has been bound to the Luck of the Immortal Dynasty, carrying the national destiny and the faith of all the people.

The seal stores vast amounts of Power Of Faith. Within the territory of the Immortal Dynasty, the holder of the seal can even temporarily mobilize the Laws of Heaven and Earth, with power nearly approaching that of a Spirit Treasure.

This seal has two world-renowned abilities:

The first is called "Nation-Suppressing Spirit-Deterrence"—

Within the territory of the Immortal Dynasty, it has a natural suppression over all living beings. When the seal appears, Dragon might surges, and all cultivators must bow, especially suppressing those who Cultivate Imperial Dao Cultivation Techniques.

The second is called "Truth-Revealing Illusion-Breaking"—

It can shine through false illusions, discern the loyalty or treachery in people's hearts, and also detect the rise and fall of the Luck of a place. It can be called the eye that holds the secrets of Heaven.

You have verified these legends through various sources over the past year and have come to understand them more deeply.

This is because another thought has long been buried in your heart—to establish your own "Qin Clan Immortal Dynasty" in the future.

Not only that, but because you also need more faith and the "Power of All Living Beings."

Upon hearing this, Prince Ji Kang immediately furrowed his brows.

The others also had changing expressions, each with their own thoughts.

True Man Yangming took in everyone's reactions and continued unhurriedly: "Throughout the ages, only the monarch who inherits the throne can wield the human emperors seal."

"If Princess Ji Hui eventually ascends the throne, then this treasure... will naturally have nothing to do with the Crown Prince anymore."

He paused slightly, his tone turning earnest: "All this old man seeks is to borrow the seal for one year of meditation. Once the year is up, I will definitely return it intact."

"Furthermore..."

True Man Yangming looked up at Prince Ji Kang and smiled meaningfully, "Since its inception, this human emperors seal has used the essence blood of the Ji Clan's First Emperor as a guide, and subsequent generations have used their Bloodline to nourish and claim ownership of it."

"If one does not possess the Ji Family Bloodline, even if they forcibly seize the seal, they would struggle to unleash even one percent of its power, making it no different from an ordinary Magic Treasure."

He paused slightly and slowly said the most crucial sentence:

"Besides..."

"With such a Bloodline treasure, how could the Ji Clan royal family not have a secret method to forcibly recall it?"

"Your Highness, there is really no need to worry too much."

Just as Prince Ji Kang was furrowing his brows in distress, Granny Xie pushed the door open, bowed, walked to Jiang Hao's side, and whispered: "Young Master, Lulu has already been bought by someone. Regarding the Cauldron for Venerable Zhiyuan, who do you think should replace her..."

Granny Xie's voice was not loud, but Venerable Zhiyuan also heard it.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao immediately said angrily: "How presumptuous! Since it was a Cauldron already selected by Venerable Zhiyuan, why sell it?"

Granny Xie quickly bowed: "Young Master, did you not say... that if someone offers more than ten times the price for a reserved Cauldron, it can be sold?"
