BXBX NOVEL Chapter 145
“Doesn’t that mean the Primordial Holy Land now possesses three Emperor Weapons!”
“The ancient imperial clans have really lost out, giving up two flawless holy weapons.”
“What’s there to lose? The value of the news about the Emperor Weapon is enough to compensate. If they didn’t know about this Emperor Weapon, and if they were to fight against the Primeval Holy Land in the future, wouldn’t that be a great loss?”
People widened their eyes, staring at the Heavenly Mirror, utterly fascinated. Their gaze was filled with envy, astonishment, and jealousy. There was no helping it.
The value of a Emperor Weapon was clear for all to see. Having one more of these was even more significant. This is why the True Dragon Clan and the Primeval Holy Land are regarded as the dominant forces, as both have two Emperor Weapons.
“Elder, hurry up and secure the Saint weapons!” Jiang Chen advised the Elder to put away the saint weapons as he retracted the Heavenly Mirror.
“Alright!” The Elder joyfully accepted the flawless holy weapons.
Today was a big win for them. Not only did they get to witness Jiang Chen’s magnificent performance, allowing them to boast, but they also acquired two flawless holy weapons. Where else could they find such good fortune?
“Thank you for your generous gifts, fellow daoists! Rest assured, our Primordial Holy Land will make good use of these two saint weapons!” The Elder was overjoyed, thanking the ancient imperial clans.
This comment immediately darkened the faces of those ancient royal families. Upon reflection, knowing that the Primordial Holy Son had a Emperor Weapon might not be such a bad thing after all.
“Holy moly, you really have a Emperor Weapon?” The Pure Yang saint was stunned. He thought Jiang Chen was bluffing to extort them, only to find out it was true.
To think that for two saint weapons, he would reveal the news about the Emperor Weapon seemed like a loss to him. If the news were kept hidden, the Emperor Weapon could potentially turn the tide in the future.
“You’ve made a loss in this deal!”
“I think it’s a loss too; two saint weapons are too little! I think five saint weapons would be the right price for this value!”
The rest of the human race powerhouses frowned, thinking it was not a profitable deal.
“That’s definitely a big win, how could it not be? It’s all thanks to the Primordial Holy Son that we got to see a Emperor Weapon!”
“Otherwise, how could we have known that the Primeval Holy Land has obtained another Emperor Weapon! Of course, I would never do this myself!” Seizing the opportunity, the Golden Crow’s powerhouse sarcastically commented.
At first, they felt intimidated, but upon remembering the value of the Emperor Weapon, their spirits lifted. Keeping such a weapon hidden was too terrifying and could have a huge impact on their entire race.
Jiang Chen, aware of the sarcasm, wasn’t bothered: “You don’t have to be sarcastic with me! I know the value of the news! I’m not afraid to tell you, I was already planning to reveal the Emperor Weapon to the world, now it’s just been made known a bit earlier!”
“If you had insisted a little longer, not agreeing to this deal, in a few months you would have known these things anyway!”
“It’s a pity you didn’t hold out! To be honest, if I were you, I definitely wouldn’t have agreed; two flawless holy weapons in exchange for a message that would be revealed anyway doesn’t really serve any purpose!”
“However, I still have to thank you, if not for your generosity, our Primordial Holy Land wouldn’t have acquired two saint weapons!”
“Speaking of which, I’ve already obtained six saint weapons from your ancient imperial clans!”
The exposure of the Heavenly Mirror was inevitable. Jiang Chen had prepared for this, deliberately using the news to exchange for two saint weapons.
Why not ask for more? If he had asked for more, they wouldn’t have agreed to the exchange, which Jiang Chen was aware of. The reason why the Heavenly Mirror’s exposure was inevitable is that the upcoming events could only be initiated by the Heavenly Mirror, and other Emperor Weapons were temporarily unable to do so.
Once that event was set in motion, the news of the Heavenly Mirror would be fully exposed, meaning its emergence was a certainty. If he waited until later, he wouldn’t gain anything of value.
But now, he could reveal it early and obtain two saint weapons, which was a great profit for Jiang Chen no matter how one looked at it.
“Perhaps you think I’m being stubborn! But have you considered one thing, could this news be kept hidden from the Void Palace?” Jiang Chen said meaningfully.
This statement turned the previously smiling faces of the ancient royal families somber, as uncomfortable as if they had swallowed something distasteful. If what Jiang Chen said was true, then their expenditure was a heavy loss, not worth it at all.
“In that case, it does seem like a loss! Spending two saint weapons for a piece of news with no value! But it’s not entirely valueless; at least we know about it in advance, right?”
“The deterrent effect of the Emperor Weapon still exists!” The Pure Yang saint said with a light laugh. If understood correctly, Jiang Chen indeed made a profit, while the ancient imperial clans suffered a loss.
“It seems the ancient imperial clans have indeed suffered a loss?”
“That’s just a loss. According to what the Primordial Holy Son said, if the Emperor Weapon were to emerge soon, then these ancient imperial clans have essentially spent a great deal for a piece of news with no real value, not worth it at all!”
“It depends on how one sees it. If knowing in advance, then it’s a gain! It’s easy to say, but if what the Primordial Holy Son said is true, then it’s indeed a big loss!”
People discussed fervently, each with their own views. However, following Jiang Chen’s remarks, most viewed the ancient royal families as big losers, even thanking them for their significant sacrifice to reveal the news about the Emperor Weapon.
These words, like daggers, pierced the hearts of these ancient imperial clans, causing them great discomfort.
As time passed, half a month flew by, and the trial in the Supreme Palace was mostly over. The rankings of the Supreme Palace were also announced.
Naturally, Jiang Chen ranked first, dominating the top spot. Huang Qingtian was second, reaching the 99th level but unable to break through the last barrier. Zi Qingyan achieved an unexpectedly high rank, surprising everyone with her third place.
The Spirit Son was fourth, reaching the 98th level, the same as Zi Qingyan, but because Zi Qingyan lasted longer, she was ranked third. The Spirit Son, an unfamiliar name to many, was unknown, and only Jiang Chen was aware of his identity.
The Spirit Son, as the name suggests, is the offspring of a spirit. In this world, there’s a very unique race, the Spirit Clan, born from the gestation of heaven and earth over endless years, eventually gaining intelligence and becoming beings.
Each spirit is born from the essence of heaven and earth, inherently divine, with both talent and strength at the pinnacle. This means every being born is an unparalleled genius.
The Spirit Son, born from a spirit and a human woman, has both the talents of a spirit and the potential unique to humans, making his talents terrifyingly formidable, a powerful genius in future generations.
As for the rest, including Qin Ershi, Bai Chen, and the Pure Yang Holy Son, they followed in the rankings. The top ten included both the foreign clan and humans, but with Jiang Chen at the forefront and passing the trial space, it was a remarkable achievement.
This also led to the foreign races being completely suppressed without a doubt.
