Chapter 1484: Everyone is Happy (Second Update, requesting everything)

You cannot catch a wolf without risking your child; the Heavenly Emperor had naturally experimented many times after collecting the Ten Branches of the World Tree, and even if he did not succeed, he had grasped the basic outline.

Compared to the World Tree, what is a mere Secondary Ice Great Dao Crystal?

The Four Seas Dragon Kings no longer paid attention to the Secondary Ice Great Dao Crystal, turning their gaze instead to the remaining treasures and Top-Grade Spiritual Roots.

When they saw the Sea-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Fruit Tree, the eyes of the Four Seas Dragon Kings brightened slightly, but they immediately shook their heads in regret; if only this Sea-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Fruit Tree corresponded to the Dragon Clan, but it happened to be the Giant Dragon clan.

However, the Donghai Dragon King Ao Sen had a sudden whim and could not help but fix his gaze tightly on a vessel.

This was a vessel containing a large amount of Spirit Essence, and the Donghai Dragon King could feel a resonance from his bloodline.

Clearly, the vessel contained Azure Dragon Spirit Essence, and quite a significant amount at that.

Thus, with an excited heart, the Donghai Dragon King asked, "King Wansheng, how much Azure Dragon Spirit Essence is here?"

"About eight jars!"

The Donghai Dragon King immediately revealed a look of wild joy and hurriedly replied, "May I trade with you using my half-percent contribution?"

Although eight jars would not be enough to make him evolve, as long as he worked a bit harder, he would eventually be able to evolve into an Azure Dragon in a few years.

If he could not gather enough, the Donghai Dragon King felt he could go find Li Zhangsheng when the time came, so he felt he must strive to maintain a good relationship with Li Zhangsheng.

"Fine!"

Li Zhangsheng nodded and completed the trade with the Donghai Dragon King.

At this moment, Wudi suddenly pointed to the other four vessels and asked, "Brother Li, what kind of Spirit Essence are these?"

These vessels also contained varying amounts of Spirit Essence, which Li Zhangsheng had specifically brought out because they happened to be the weak points of the Three Emperors and the Donghai Dragon King.

As partners, Li Zhangsheng had naturally seen all of the Three Emperors' Demon Pets, which was the only way to carry out a targeted "breakthrough of weaknesses."

"Ten jars of Dark Unicorn, seven jars of Yayu, nine jars of Xiu Snake, and ten jars of Power Dragon."

As Li Zhangsheng finished speaking, the gazes of Wendi and the Azure Emperor immediately shifted from the Secondary Ice Great Dao Crystal and landed on those four jars of Spirit Essence.

It was not that the Secondary Ice Great Dao Crystal was not attractive enough; on the contrary, they were more willing to trade for the Secondary Ice Great Dao Crystal. The problem was that one percent contribution did not seem enough to trade for it.

In terms of value, the Secondary Ice Great Dao Crystal was higher than ordinary Mid-Grade Top-Grade Spirit Roots, because between the two, the former was clearly more popular.

Emperors and Sovereigns might seem to have the same status, but Sovereigns were more aloof and their strength was often greater, making the value of treasures like Secondary Great Dao Crystals clearly inflated.

Simply put, the Ice Secondary Great Dao Crystal was something Li Zhangsheng had intentionally brought out to seduce them.

"I will trade half a percent contribution for the Power Dragon Spirit Essence, how about that?"

The Azure Emperor was the first to speak; with these ten jars of Power Dragon Spirit Essence, he could add another Divine Beast to his Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets.

"I also want your right of priority!"

"Fine!"

In this way, the Azure Emperor still had half a percent contribution left, but he could only trade in the second round.

After reaching the agreement, the Azure Emperor, in front of everyone, let his Demon Pet absorb the Power Dragon Spirit Essence from the vessel and began to evolve.

"I will also trade half a percent contribution and the right of priority for the Xiu Snake Spirit Essence!" Wudi said.

"I think I will pass."

Unlike Wudi, Wendi resisted the temptation; he had originally wanted to ask if he could pool enough contributions to trade for the Secondary Ice Great Dao Crystal, but the West Sea Dragon King had asked this question a step ahead of him.

"It is possible, but it will require two percent contribution."

Li Zhangsheng immediately opened his mouth like a lion; two percent contribution was not a small amount—it could be used to trade for a Five-Needle Pine or two Mid-Grade Top-Grade Spirit Roots, which was clearly inflated for a Secondary Ice Great Dao Crystal.

Hearing the asking price, Wendi chose to give up; if he had the Huangzhong Li, he would have been willing to borrow some.

The West Sea Dragon King, like Wendi, also resisted the temptation and did not trade for any items.

On the contrary, the South Sea Dragon King, realizing that Li Zhangsheng needed contributions, immediately used half a percent contribution to select the Pan Tian Bamboo and a Demon Emperor Grade Dragon Pearl.

Now that the Heavenly Court was open, the Pan Tian Bamboo naturally had its uses.

The North Sea Dragon King was a step too slow and ultimately had to refuse.

Even so, the total contribution of Li Zhangsheng and his wife reached seventy percent, enough to trade for the Top-Grade Spiritual Roots they wanted, provided no one competed with him.

"I choose the Golden Apple Tree!"

"I choose the Nine Heavens Xun Wind Tree!"

For the sake of safety, Li Zhangsheng and his wife had to resort to some tricky maneuvers again.

"I will use Wudi's contribution to trade for the Dark Purgatory Tree!"

Since Wudi's half-percent contribution was ranked higher than Wendi's, Li Zhangsheng naturally would not be polite.

Because the Dark Purgatory Tree was extremely rare, the required contribution clearly exceeded other Low-Grade Top-Tier Spirit Roots, requiring a full half-percent contribution; one must know that the thirteen Low-Grade Top-Tier Spirit Roots only accounted for thirty percent of the total contribution, averaging about 0.2 each, so one was equivalent to two.

"I choose the Tree of Life!"

Wendi breathed a sigh of relief; what he had wanted all along was the Tree of Life.

It was not just Wendi; Li Zhangsheng and his wife also breathed a sigh of relief.

Next were the rights of priority of the Azure Emperor and the Donghai Dragon King; Li Zhangsheng used them to select two more of the Ten Branches, successfully gathering all Ten Branches of the World Tree.

Even if there were duplicates of these things, they might still be used in the future.

The World Tree had originally differentiated into ten branches, but with such rich origin, the ten branches that differentiated out were certainly more than just one of each; the main thing was that the grade of the ten branches was far from that of the World Tree. This was just like the Chaos Green Lotus in "Primordial," which had differentiated into a large number of Innate Spiritual Treasures.

The subsequent process was smooth; in the second round of selection, Li Zhangsheng naturally chose the Huangzhong Li and the Five-Needle Pine, which was how he used up seventy percent of the contribution.

This time, Li Zhangsheng exchanged for two Superior Quality, one Mid-grade, and four Low Grade.

The remaining Low-Grade Top-Tier Spirit Roots were taken by the West Sea Dragon King and the North Sea Dragon King.

Li Zhangsheng also knew that what he was doing was a bit underhanded, but he was also helpless.

In order to maintain his relationship with the others, or to compensate them, Li Zhangsheng was uncharacteristically generous in the distribution of mineral veins and wild Spirit Beasts, taking only thirty percent and distributing twenty percent to the others.

The corpses of two Three-Legged Golden Crows were among them; Li Zhangsheng still intended to let Ning Bizhen's Two-Legged Golden Crow evolve, so he naturally could not give them to others.

Even so, everyone was greatly satisfied.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng and the others dispersed one after another, taking away their respective gains.

This wait lasted for half a day, mainly because digging up Top-Grade Spirit Roots is quite time-consuming.

Li Zhangsheng did not dig up the Huangzhong Plum or the Golden Apple Tree; they were protected by powerful Forbidden Arrays, so they would not be easily destroyed, and he planned to merge the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm directly after dealing with the Hundred-Headed Dragon.

However, the Five-Needle Pine was different; it was suppressing the Hundred-Headed Dragon, and once the Hundred-Headed Dragon emerged, the Five-Needle Pine would inevitably be affected, so Li Zhangsheng had no choice but to take it away.

After making full preparations, Li Zhangsheng began to break the seal.
