Chapter 45
It was no wonder Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao felt shocked by what Bi Xiao said.
You must know that after being placed on the Investiture of the Gods, they became members of it; even a Saint might have no way to change that.
After all, the Investiture of the Gods was a product of the Great Calamity and, to a certain extent, was closely related to the Heavenly Dao.
How could Saints like the Sect Leader Tongtian defy the Heavenly Dao?
Yet now, Yun Xiao and the others had actually heard that there was something that could allow them to break free from the Investiture of the Gods.
"Bi Xiao, you cannot lie about this kind of thing," Qiong Xiao said earnestly.
"Second Sister, I might joke about some things, but how could I joke about such an important matter?" Bi Xiao shook her head.
"Bi Xiao, are you telling the truth?" Yun Xiao said sternly. "Why do you know that thing is useful to us? Perhaps that senior you mentioned is lying to you."
"Lying to me?" Bi Xiao replied. "I am only a Da Luo Golden Immortal; what could the senior possibly gain by lying to me? We aren't even considered Jie Sect disciples anymore."
"This..." Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao hesitated for a moment.
What Bi Xiao said also made a lot of sense.
In their current state, they really didn't have the qualifications to be deceived by anyone.
They didn't have any treasures in their hands.
Someone whom Bi Xiao would consider a "senior" must, at the very least, be an existence above a Quasi-Saint.
They shouldn't have anything on them that a Quasi-Saint would covet.
"And in the senior's grocery store, I saw something incredible," Bi Xiao said in a low voice. "The legendary Chaos Bell of the former Demon Race Heavenly Emperor, Donghuang Taiyi, is right there in the senior's grocery store."
"The innate spiritual treasure, the Chaos Bell." Yun Xiao was startled.
This legendary treasure was truly world-renowned.
As disciples of the Jie Sect, the Three Xiao sisters had certainly heard of it.
The Golden Dragon Scissors, which they had used to great effect in the God-Conferring Great Calamity, could not be compared to it at all.
Moreover, during the God-Conferring Great Calamity, aside from the Saints entering the fray, the intensity of the battles could not compare to the Wu-Demon Great Calamity.
"Yes, it is the innate spiritual treasure, the Chaos Bell," Bi Xiao nodded. "I saw it; an innate spiritual treasure is truly worthy of being an innate spiritual treasure."
"How is that possible? Didn't the Chaos Bell go missing?" Yun Xiao also looked on in disbelief.
"I was shocked at first, too, but then I saw another item, and my shock from just a moment ago vanished instantly," Bi Xiao continued.
"What item?" Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao became fully focused.
Could there be something even more shocking than the innate spiritual treasure, the Chaos Bell?
"The Great God Pangu's Pangu Axe," Bi Xiao said, enunciating every word.
"Pangu Axe?" Yun Xiao was bewildered. "Legend says the Great God's Pangu Axe split into three, and the Chaos Bell was one of those pieces; how could it appear again?"
"I don't know," Bi Xiao shrugged. "Anyway, I saw the Pangu Axe. At the time, I felt that if even a wisp of the Pangu Axe's aura were released, it would be enough to crush me to death."
At this moment, silence returned to the room.
Whether it was Yun Xiao or Qiong Xiao, they both needed to properly digest this matter.
It was truly as Bi Xiao said; this was a major event. Compared to this, the God-Conferring Great Calamity didn't seem like such a big deal anymore.
"Bi Xiao, is everything you said true?" Yun Xiao asked solemnly.
"Eldest Sister, I told you, it is all true," Bi Xiao said. "How could I possibly lie about such a thing?"
"Then Bi Xiao, if we want to obtain the God-Conferring Edict, do we need to pay something?" Yun Xiao asked.
"Eldest Sister is smart," Bi Xiao laughed. "Eldest Sister is right. That senior opened a grocery store. The Pangu Axe and the Chaos Bell are just items in the grocery store. As long as you have enough exchange points, you can buy them."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao gasped.
This was truly a massive undertaking.
What kind of existence could that senior be?
It was no wonder Bi Xiao concluded that he was more powerful than a Saint.
"In other words, the God-Conferring Edict can also be bought?" Qiong Xiao asked.
"Yes, at the senior's place, all kinds of spiritual treasures and cultivation techniques can be exchanged for corresponding exchange points. But even if I took out everything I owned, I only had a little over a thousand, which wasn't nearly enough," Bi Xiao said helplessly. "That's why I came back; otherwise, I would have wanted to try and see if I could really succeed."
Although she highly recognized Wu Feng's strength,
the fact that the matter hadn't been truly resolved still caused some worry.
"How much does that God-Conferring Edict cost?" Yun Xiao asked.
"Ten thousand," Bi Xiao replied.
"Ten thousand." Yun Xiao pondered for a moment. "Bi Xiao, you only have a little over a thousand on you. Even if we took out all our belongings, we might not be able to scrape together ten thousand."
Even if she and Qiong Xiao could each exchange three thousand, it still wouldn't be enough.
Not to mention, whether they even had that much was another question.
After all, they didn't have many treasures in their hands.
If it were their former Jie Sect senior brother, the Daoist Duobao, it might have been easy.
The reputation of Daoist Duobao was not just for show.
"Eldest Sister, what should we do then?" Qiong Xiao asked.
Qiong Xiao also wanted to see the God-Conferring Edict.
"Wait, there is one more thing: one God-Conferring Edict can only allow one person to break free from the Investiture of the Gods," Bi Xiao continued.
"In that case, it's even less enough. We need to find someone," Yun Xiao said in a deep voice.
