Chapter 473

"Yes."

"I have no objection."

"Agreed."

The speakers and generals all said.

Only Howard, who was sitting in the corner, watched coldly and didn't say a word.

…………

"The final step." Xing Tong and Guluohe were chatting in a private space. "In Yuan's inheritance, any treasure makes my heart move."

"Senior Brother, this disciple of yours has a lot of hope of obtaining multiple treasures. In the Soul Palace, only the disciple of Lord Pu Ying, Qiye, has hope of competing with him."

"Hard to say," Guluohe was still somewhat humble. "Maybe he'll be slower than that Qiye."

"Senior Brother, stop being humble; how about we make a bet?" Xing Tong said. "I bet Zhao Xing can get a grand slam and obtain all 9 treasures of the Soul Palace."

"If I win, you have to help me persuade this disciple of yours to marry my daughter."

"What if you lose?"

"If I lose, my daughter will marry Zhao Xing."

Guluohe stared at his Junior Brother with narrowed eyes and wrote a character on the table with water: "Junior Brother, look at what character I wrote first."

"What character?" Xing Tong looked over curiously.

"Get lost."

"..."

…………

On the SSS-grade guardian spaceship.

"It has begun."

"Three palaces, 8 people in the Soul Palace, 6 people in the Body Palace, 19 people in the Heart Palace."

"And 6 people are outside breaking Emperor-grade cities to let their tokens evolve to Emperor-grade and obtain qualifications."

King King Tian Ji, King Cangyue, and King King Luo Hou announced the situation.

Because some geniuses already possessed Emperor-grade tokens and had attempted multiple Emperor-grade inheritances, there wouldn't be an extra one.

So now there were only 23 geniuses in the City of the Sovereign.

Even counting the six Emperor-grade cities in the second stage that hadn't been broken yet, there were at most 29 Emperor-grade tokens.

"Three palaces, but the Heart Palace has the most people," King King Tian Ji laughed. "It seems they all have self-knowledge."

"There's no help for it; the Body Palace has Weiya, Duan Ye, and Tuosen."

"Among Martial Dao Lords, almost no one can compare to those three; Lan Caidie is still a bit lacking."

"In the Soul Palace, Zhao Xing and Qiye are both at the third layer of the Great Expansion Sword Art."

"If the gap is too large, going to the Body Palace and the Soul Palace is very likely a waste of time."

King Cangyue also understood why those geniuses chose this way.

It was precisely because of the great uncertainty of the Heart Palace that they chose it.

Yuan's inheritance was clearly winner-takes-all, and the loser gets nothing.

Whoever could clear the stage the fastest would be able to get the treasure.

That treasure was unique; once obtained, it was gone.

Rather than going to accompany the run, it was better to go to the Heart Palace to fight for it.

"Only the result of the Heart Palace is hard to guess," King King Luo Hou said. "Mental will, in Yuan's previous Emperor-grade inheritances, no similar stages appeared, so it's impossible to see who has talent."

"But those non-Martial Dao Lords who rely on bloodlines are going to suffer."

If they weren't Martial Dao Lords, the strength of the bloodline-faction Lords would be greatly reduced, because it was the Lords themselves attempting to clear the stage, not their troops.

"Look, the first stage of the Body Palace has already produced a result."

King King Luo Hou pointed to a certain place, and King King Tian Ji and King Cangyue immediately looked over.

…………

The first stage of the Body Palace.

Weiya punched a puppet away.

The mist in front of him dissipated.

An ancient container floated in front of him.

At the same time, a wide passage appeared behind the palace, representing that he could go to the second stage.

"The first Legendary-grade treasure is a portion of Void Source Liquid."

Weiya took this treasure and immediately walked into the passage, heading toward the second stage.

As for the others in the Body Palace, they were still attempting to clear the stage at this time.

They didn't know that the treasure had already been taken.

Only after they cleared the stage and found no treasure reward would they know they weren't the winner of this stage.

…………

Inside the Soul Palace.

The first stage was a dim space.

The mist was thick all around, and it was a white jade plaza with a visibility of only about a hundred meters.

"Defeat me with soul means, and you can enter the second stage."

A fire-red phantom condensed out of the mist.

"Master, this is a pure Fire Seed body, which is the soul," the Bone Tree's voice sounded in his mind. "It tests the strength of the soul power."

Fire Seed is the indigenous term for 'soul'.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~"

Zhao Xing waved his hand, and a soul spike appeared in front of him.

Zhao Xing, as a Lord, had also learned the 'Soul Spike' skill secret technique that the Bone Tree knew.

Lords can also learn skill secret techniques.

For a pure comparison of soul strength, using this move was the most appropriate.

"Bang!"

The soul has no substance, but it sparked when it collided.

That fire-red phantom was immediately pierced with a hole by the cone-shaped spike.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

That extremely condensed black spike, which was like substance, turned back again.

It stabbed ten thousand times in one second!

Because Zhao Xing's soul level was already at the peak of Silver Moon, and he cultivated the Great Expansion Sword Art, every portion of mental power could unleash 500 times the power.

Casting the Soul Spike was naturally crushing the opponent.

"Bang!"

The Fire Seed was riddled with holes and instantly exploded.

First stage, passed!

"Buzz~"

The mist dispersed.

A small cyan bottle appeared in front of Zhao Xing.

"The reward for the first stage is Void Source Liquid."

Zhao Xing's face showed joy.

One portion of Void Source Liquid extracted the concentrated energy of 10 billion space origin crystals!

"Void origin is hard to shake, let alone forcibly extract and concentrate."

"It was condensed by Yuan, a powerhouse comparable to a Void-stage Venerable, using his own power to extract the energy of space origin crystals!"

"And to extract 10 billion space origin crystals and make them portable also requires effort; it is absolutely worthy of being a Legendary-grade treasure."

Zhao Xing didn't ponder much and immediately walked into the second stage.

Because time was the most precious thing.

Being even a second slower might lead to missing out on the treasure.
