The Monarch of the Nine States - C288
“What are Holy City’s plans?”
Facing the Yin Yang Saint’s question, the Sage Tianqing nodded his head and said, “According to Saint Sovereign’s idea, we can join hands with a group of Saints in the Nine Regions to return to the dust and investigate. If there are only a few small fries, we can eliminate them.
The Saint Sovereign that the Sage Tianqing s were talking about, was naturally referring to the Saint Sovereign s of the Holy City s.
“Searching for information?”
Everyone understood what the Sage Tianqing meant and looked at each other. The Yin-Yang Honored Warrior was the first to nod: “I think it’s feasible.”
Seeing this, the other saints also nodded in agreement. The yin fiend race was a common enemy of the Nine Prefectures, evil and strong.
Since yin fiend race has sneakily come out, I think he does not have much strength. I heard that the Holy City Ranking Tournament has already begun, and it has been many years since I last came to Holy City, I would like to experience it. What do you think? The Yinyang Saint suddenly said.
“Haha, not bad. Our Nine Prefectures hasn’t been together for many years. It wasn’t easy to come here, so we can communicate with each other and see which province’s children are more outstanding.” Saint Wildfire laughed out loud. With his straightforward personality, he directly revealed his intentions.
However, this was also what everyone was thinking. Otherwise, they wouldn’t each bring a young disciple here.
It had been a very long time since the powers of the Nine Prefectures had gathered together. Everyone wanted to see the strength of the other prefectures, but of course, there was also the feeling of showing off. If any of the prefectures could take the lead, it was naturally something worth showing off.
Sage Tianqing was not too surprised. Ever since he found out that the Saints had brought two young disciples with them, he knew that they had long since discussed this matter.
However, Sage Tianqing felt bitter in his heart, as he had met most of the young disciples from the other provinces before. They were all extremely talented, and were all geniuses accepted by the saints as their direct disciples.
Xu Gu and the others were the most talented of the young generation in Holy City, but that was only in the perspective of ordinary geniuses. If it was in terms of the standards of a saint, they were still lacking, and that was why the saints in Holy City had never accepted them as disciples.
Saints were at the peak of the Nine Prefectures. Every single one of them were peerless geniuses when they were young. As a result, they were extremely picky when it came to accepting disciples, and ordinary people would not even be able to see them properly.
Therefore, it was not difficult to see the difference between Xu Gu and the other young disciples.
“Sigh, the Qing Zhou has been in decline for too long.
Sage Tianqing sighed helplessly. In the long history of the Nine Regions, there had only ever been one Great Emperor in the Qing Zhou, and the other Great Emperors all came from the other eight prefectures. This also caused the other prefectures to have more Great Emperor’s legacy.
However, saying all these was useless. If they were weak, then so be it, and Qing Zhou would not cower because of this.
“Since you saints wish to communicate, my Qing Zhou will naturally welcome you.” The Sage Tianqing smiled and nodded.
“Haha, I’ve been waiting for you to say that.” Venerable Flameless laughed out loud, “Even though it’s just an exchange, it’s pointless to let the little guys fight like this. Why don’t we each add a little bit of bonus to their fun?”
Other than the Sage Tianqing, the rest all smiled and nodded their heads. This was an old rule. In the past, the exchange rules for disciples in the Nine Prefectures was like this for disciples.
The Sage Tianqing naturally knew what this rule meant. It meant that every Saint would take out a treasure to be their prize and then gather them together. This would be based on the ranking of their disciples.
There were a total of nine treasures. The one who obtained the first place would first choose three treasures, the second place would choose two treasures, and the third to sixth place would choose a treasure. In other words, the first six would obtain treasures.
On the surface, the rules looked calm, but in reality it was very bloody. Because there were two disciples participating in the competition, so as long as they were strong enough, they would be able to get two spots for the treasures, and if one of the powers took over the first and second place, they would be able to directly obtain five treasures. In the past, both the Divine Lands and the Desolate Province had done this, but the Qing Zhou s had always been at the bottom, with losses.
“What does Sage Tianqing think?” Seeing Sage Tianqing not making a move, Venerable Flameless of the Desolate Province asked.
Hearing this, Sage Tianqing could only smile bitterly and nod his head. Since it was an old rule, he naturally had no reason to refute.
“Alright, since everyone agrees, then I will first make a fool of myself and take out the treasure I prepared this time as a guide.” The Wildfire Saint was very active. After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to rub his storage ring.
Immediately, a simple, unadorned gem appeared in his hands.
“Desolation Crystals!”
The other Saints immediately rose to their feet, their eyes glinting with shock.
“Desolation Crystals, you dare to take out such a treasure?” The Yinyang Saint asked in shock.
This crystal was the Desolation Crystals that Cang Yun had refined before, its value was hard to estimate. In the entire Nine Prefectures, most likely only the Desolate Province that the Sky Emperor had once existed in had some reserves.
“Yin Yang Saint has good eyesight, this is indeed a Desolation Crystals. Ever since the passing of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor Immortal, our Desolate Province only has a few Desolation Crystals left, so everyone should estimate their value as treasures.” Saint Wild Flame smiled and said lightly.
However, his words caused everyone’s faces to turn ugly. Venerable Flameless had actually taken out such a treasure? What should they take out?
Although everyone had taken out a few treasures in the past exchanges, they were definitely not worth as much as a Desolation Crystals. Now that Saint Wildfire was leading them, he had actually taken out such a great treasure, which was somewhat unexpected for everyone.
“It seems like the Desolate Province has long since been prepared.” Since Venerable Flameless dared to take out such a great treasure, it was clear that he had absolute confidence in his two disciples. Even if they failed, they wouldn’t lose anything, not to mention that the Desolate Province was always one of the top existences in the Nine Prefectures.
“Since Saint Wildfire has taken out such a treasure, my Divine State doesn’t want to lose face. Let’s just take it as a wager. What do you think?” The YinYang Venerable One was the first to speak. An object immediately appeared in his hand after he finished speaking.
“Pure Yang Jade Marrow!”
Everyone was shocked once again. The treasure in the hands of the YinYang Venerable One was dazzling. Although it was only the size of a thumb, it was as dazzling as a sun. The energy it contained was even more shocking.
Venerable Yin Yang smiled, “The power of desolation is even older than the pure yang power, so I will prepare two pieces of Pure Yang Jade Marrow as a wager. What do you think?”
