Chapter 790: Chapter 421 Pluto, Alert!
Although it was well publicized externally,
the Tao Alliance’s three Heavenly Immortals who had jointly exterminated the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family at the scene were all in a poor mood.
It was because they had not discovered the Innate Treasure in the hands of the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family.
After gathering the relevant intelligence,
these three Heavenly Immortals of the Tao Alliance guessed that the Innate Treasure must have fallen into the hands of the mysterious force that had emerged from the Lower Realm.
As for this suddenly emerged mysterious force,
the Tao Alliance suspected it to be a front put up by a few major clans within the Demon Alliance.
Especially since there was a trace of the aura left by a Harmonization Realm True Dragon from the other party,
it was considered ironclad evidence supporting this assumption.
This made them hold little hope of retrieving the Innate Treasure.
However, they definitely still intended to give it a try.
Given that an important avatar of the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family along with one Innate Treasure had also perished there,
the Tao Alliance sent an envoy team this time, led by three Heavenly Immortals.
However, these three Heavenly Immortals all halted many millions of miles away from the Xuanling Realm.
They stared intently, their eyes bright with spirit, at the now-sealed section of the Time-Space Sea Domain that had lost a part of its space forever.
For a long while,
the three exchanged glances and simultaneously let out a bitter laugh.
"Seeing it firsthand, the projection that spread out turned out to be real,"
"It carries the aura of the Great Dao being obliterated, hard to believe we could witness even a remnant in this era,"
"In their hands, not only do they control that Polluted Evil World, but likely also possess one or more relics of an Immortal Emperor,"
"It’s not out of the question that it could be the lifebound Innate Treasure of an ancient Immortal Emperor."
Despite this, none of the three Heavenly Immortals showed a flicker of greed.
Innate Treasures are sentient, the more powerful they are, the more this is so.
Thus, when an Innate Treasure chooses its master, they prefer to try and influence the chosen recipient rather than forcefully seizing it,
unless there was a likelihood that the Innate Treasure might recognize them.
Involving Innate Treasures used by Emperors, those are essentially among the most powerful in the category of Innate Treasures.
Each one has a strong will of its own, not easily taken by just anyone.
Unless they felt some predestined connection to the Innate Treasure when it appeared, the Tao Alliance might consider their options.
But the mysterious force in the Lower Realm was already using the divine powers of these Innate Treasures to deliver strikes above the level of Heavenly Immortals,
if a cultivator from the Tao Alliance felt a predestined connection to these Innate Treasures, wouldn’t these Heavenly Immortals of the Tao Alliance be aware of it?
After sensing the now exceedingly faint aftereffects of the battlefield,
the three Heavenly Immortals made their decision.
They held no hope of retrieving the Innate Treasure of the Old Heavenly Immortal of the Cao Family and chose to leave early.
They left the remaining members of the envoy team under the lead of the original team leader, a Mahayana Taoist Lord, to continue their visit.
With the main aim being negotiation and forming good relations.
As for the Innate Treasure... mainly through redemption.
Although they held no hope, they still had to try.
After the envoy team entered the Xuanling Realm, they quickly realized that Elder Lu was merely a puppet.
However, they soon met the representative sent by Su Ping,
East Sea Dragon Monarch Ao Li!
They encountered the legendary True Dragon.
The members of the envoy team became even more convinced of the opposing party’s backing.
They also formulated a reasonable hypothesis about their control over many miraculous abilities.
Ao Li too indulged in the thrill of being a superior, and displayed the natural talent of the True Dragon clan for being a leader,
In the negotiations, despite being a Great Realm below, he still managed to occupy a position of strength.
The final negotiation concluded that the Xuanling Realm welcomes the Tao Alliance’s Taoist Friends to also come and conduct business, willing to offer various concessions to the cultivators from the Tao Alliance.
As for the Innate Treasure...,
Ao Li did not completely dismiss the idea of negotiation,
but he also did not specify when the negotiations would begin.
Merely stating, now is not the time.
As for when it might be, that would depend on when destiny arrives, wouldn’t it?
After all, isn’t it all about fate with Innate Treasures?
Without the Heavenly Immortals, the envoy team naturally agreed,
For them, this could be considered the best outcome.
Involving an Innate Treasure originally belonging to the Tao Alliance’s power, they have not disgracefully given up,
but for the sake of the bigger picture, they temporarily set aside this dispute,
leaving this tricky issue to be resolved by the future talents,
It was a win-win indeed!
Having resolved the biggest issue, the cultivators of the envoy team felt relieved, even noticing the Spiritual Medicine of the Xuanling Realm,
And then...they saw the business opportunities.
The Spiritual Medicine here, particularly some rare, ancient ones, held a significant price difference compared to those in the Golden Crow Realm,
Often priceless, their reference price in the market is merely a floor estimate.
Purchasing them, even if not for personal use but to earn a margin by reselling them, was also a good deal,
So, after scouring around,
High-tier cultivators also made a note of the auction rules,
Planning to go back... no, en route they sent messages to inform their family’s younger generation to hurry over with Spirit Stones to bid on the Spiritual Medicine,
Thousands of cultivators from the numerous sects of the Xuanling Realm also watched as the Tao Alliance’s envoy team amicably departed,
Many of them feeling relieved,
After all, that was the Tao Alliance from the Three Alliances of the North King’s Time Domain!
Now, discovering that their own Heavenly Venerate had killed the opposing Old Heavenly Immortal and taken the Innate Treasure,
Yet could let the other party leave amicably,
One must say, this time the Lower Realm truly emerged a formidable leader!
This leading figure seemed, however, to have interest in nothing but Spirit Stones and Cultivation Techniques.
