The forces under Donghuang Imperial Palace occupied the ruins of House Naga. Rumor has it that among the Eight Legions, House Naga, which the Ancestral Dragon ruled, was also mighty. The Ancestral Dragon was crowned the king of all the demon clans. It was similarly a giant-level figure in ancient
times. It used to stand at the peak of the cultivation world.
The ruins of House Naga were vast and were surrounded by ancient mountains. The palaces of House Naga could be found among the mountains. Even though they were in a state of dilapidation now, one could still faintly make out how majestic they were in ancient times.
Countless skeletons of dragons were left on this land. The skeletons were gigantic and were of different races.
House Naga, ruled by the Ancestral Dragon, consisted of cultivators from all the dragon clans. The house was made up of various dragons, such as Purple Gold Dragons, Crimson Dragons, and Fiery Dragons. Every type of dragon was a leading force on its own. One could imagine how prosperous House
Naga used to be.
At that moment, a figure appeared before a mountain in the territory of the ruins of House Naga. The figure, with white hair and white robes, was none other than Ye Futian.
Many cultivators from Donghuang Imperial Palace stared at Ye Futian. They revealed bewildered looks as they wondered what business Ye Futian had here.
Right now, Ye Futian was no longer the small fry he used to be. People would pay attention to him wherever he went. No one dared to look down on him. In the past, he could unleash extraordinary power in the Ziwei Segmentum with the help of the will of Great Emperor Ziwei. However, he couldn’t do
much and was a nobody once he left the segmentum. His cultivation level back then was even lower than that of Lord Chen.
But now, very few cultivators in the Seven Realms would claim to be stronger than Ye Futian.
A group of cultivators approached him. The group leader was actually Du You, one of the direct disciples of Donghuang the Great. Du You first came in contact with Ye Futian when the former was still at the peak of the Renhuang Plane. Ye Futian was but a slightly talented cultivator from the Lower
Worlds. Du You didn’t even take a serious look at him.
They had met a few times after that. Du You could sense Ye Futian’s improvement every time they met. Now, the latter had surpassed him. This caused Du You to have mixed feelings and feel awkward around Ye Futian. However, such was the way of the cultivation world. As the direct disciple of
Donghuang the Great, Du You used to be the one who led the race.
However, Ye Futian had surpassed him now, and their difference would only grow bigger in the future.
“What business do you have here?” Du You asked coldly. His voice bore a hint of animosity. Even though Ye Futian was more powerful than him now, it did not mean that he had to be courteous with the former. Both of them were on opposing sides. If it weren’t because of Donghuang the Great’s
extraordinary temperament, Ye Futian would have perished long ago.
Of course, there was another reason why Du You could not stand Ye Futian. The latter’s identity as the heir of Emperor Ye Qing had surpassed his own as the direct disciple of Donghuang the Great. Du You felt humiliated inside.
“Lam looking for Donghuang Diyuan,.” replied Ye Futian. He naturally knew that Du You could not stand him. However, he did not pay the latter heed. There were few people from Donghuang Imperial Palace in the Divine Prefecture whom he bothered about. Ye Futian had come to find Donghuang Diyuan.
Du You was already unqualified to talk to him directly.
“What business do you have with her?” Du You continued asking, ignoring Ye Futian’s statement. His tone was blunt and indifferent.
Ye Futian glanced at him and said, “You can’t call the shots.”
‘When Du You saw the look Ye Futian gave him, his expression became ugly. A cold light was released from his pupils. They seemed to contain Spear Will.
Was Ye Futian ridiculing him?
With his status, there were very few instances when he could not call the shots.
However, Ye Futian had come looking for Donghuang Diyuan. The matter might indeed be something that he could not make the decision. With Ye Futian’s current status, he would naturally not come over for ordinary matters. It might be related to the relics or the teachings of the Great Emperors.
Du You still stared at Ye Futian, not intending to send word of the latter’s arrival. Ye Futian shifted his gaze and ignored him. He shouted out loud, “Donghuang Diyuan!”
His voice reverberated throughout the relic, shaking the space. Du You’s facial expression immediately tuned cold. His Spear Will became ferocious. Ye Futian did not look at him. Instead, he said in a cold and indifferent tone, “You are no match for me.”
This humiliating statement caused Du You’s face to turn very ugly. However, he had no comeback for what Ye Futian said.
‘There were only a handful of people in Donghuang Imperial Palace who were a match for Ye Futian. At the very least, Du You was not one of them.
In the distance, a brilliant divine light shone. Then, a group of figures appeared in the sky. Donghuang Diyuan stood at the very front. Her beauty was unparalleled. She stared at Ye Futian with her beautiful eyes. Her expression was emotionless, and she did not speak.
“Princess Donghuang, why don’t we make a deal?” suggested Ye Futian.
“What sort of deal?” asked Donghuang Diyuan.
“believe that you managed to get your hands on several divine stones. I also believe that you have managed to comprehend the mystery behind them,” said Ye Futian. Donghuang Diyuan remained silent and did not respond. It was the same as acknowledging his words. Donghuang Imperial Palace had
indeed comprehended the mystery of the divine stones. However, they had not unlocked many of them so far.
“Each divine stone contains a divine technique of the Old Heaven Court. They are priceless and can be passed down for generations for cultivation,” Ye Futian said as he looked at Donghuang Diyuan. “I do not need to elaborate on how valuable a divine stone is. You also understand this, Princess
Donghuang. I came here today to make a deal with you. I wish to trade the divine stones for something.”
Donghuang Diyuan still did not respond. She merely looked down at Ye Futian.
Seeing that she did not respond, Ye Futian thought to himself that she was truly an ice queen. He then continued, “I want the skeleton of a Dragon God with its will intact.”
“You are greedy,” Donghuang Diyuan said as she glanced at Ye Futian. “The corpse of a Dragon God is the body of a Demon Monarch from ancient times. On top of that, you want its will intact. How many divine stones are you offering in exchange?”
“How about three?” offered Ye Futian.
“That is not enough,” replied Donghuang Diyuan in a cold tone.
“How many do you want?” bargained Ye Futian. He wanted the corpse of a Dragon God and its will primarily to aid the demons of Demon God Mountain in their cultivation. The Divine Dragons especially needed it.
Before this, he had obtained the skeleton of Demon Monarch Karura to help the cultivators of Sky Demon Court in their cultivation. Now, if he could get his hands on another Dragon God skeleton, it would be even better.
Even the other cultivators would benefit if they successfully comprehended the will of a Dragon God.
He had checked through the divine stones he possessed before. Some of them with similar divine techniques could be used as bargaining chips.
“30 divine stones,” Donghuang Diyuan said as she stared at Ye Futian. Hadn’t Ye Futian obtained quite a number of them?
“Donghuang Diyuan, what you ask for is practically daylight robbery. Where is your sincerity?” Ye Futian mocked with a smile. Behind Donghuang Diyuan were many top figures. Formless pressure emanated from them. However, they could not affect the current Ye Futian. Even the might of the
Near-Deity Level cultivators did not affect him.
30 divine stones meant 30 types of divine techniques. This was equivalent to the heritage possessed by an Emperor-level force. Even if Donghuang Diyuan could not unlock the divine stones, Donghuang the Great would undoubtedly be able to do so.
This woman was truly greedy.
“Toffer you one Purple Gold Dragon God corpse plus dragon blood from a Crimson Dragon God that serves to baptize and train one’s body,” said Donghuang Diyuan as she continued to lay out her bargaining chips. This actually drew Ye Futian’s attention.
The corpse of a Purple Gold Dragon God and dragon blood.
From the looks of it, Donghuang Imperial Palace had reaped considerable benefits in the relic of House Naga.
“10 divine stones,” said Ye Futian as he stared at Donghuang Diyuan.
The two fated enemies were now bargaining.
Donghuang Diyuan continued, “Dragon blood can be used to baptize and train the body. The strength of the flesh of the members of House Naga in ancient times is unimaginable by current day standards. This is the blood of a Dragon God and a Crimson Dragon. Its blood can be reused over and over again.
You’d better think carefully.”
“The divine techniques in the divine stones can also be passed down for generations,” Ye Futian retorted. “20 divine stones is the most I can stomach. If Princess Donghuang does not agree, then just pretend that I was never here.”
“Be on your way then,” said Donghuang Diyuan indifferently. She then immediately turned around and prepared to leave. Ye Futian was stunned.
Did this woman need to act so cold and arrogant?
“Deal,” said Ye Futian, accepting Donghuang Diyuan’s offer. Currently, in terms of value, the 30 divine stones were worth more. However, if he could use the corpse of the Dragon God and the dragon blood to concoct elixirs and baptize generations to come, Ye Futian believed that this deal was still worth
it.
These 30 divine stones could be replaced. They were not that important.
‘Most importantly, what she offered was what he needed most. Hence, Ye Futian agreed.
It was certainly the same for Donghuang Diyuan. She had a greater need for the divine stones. Hence, she had offered the corpse of the Purple Gold Dragon God as well as the dragon blood. She wanted to establish a higher price so that Ye Futian would need to exchange even more divine stones.
Donghuang Imperial Palace needed more divine stones.
Donghuang Diyuan turned around and gave Ye Futian a look. They had reached an agreement.
This deal was sealed very smoothly. Both sides were top figures of the cultivation world. They did not need to cheat to get what they wanted. Ye Futian left, taking with him the dragon corpse and the dragon blood.
He still had a lot to do after this!
