Chapter 63: Trading a Legendary Technique for Your Precious Bow

“I hear someone here possesses a legendary hero?”

The white-haired elder stroked his long beard and asked in an easygoing manner.

“Yes, there is indeed.”

The Blue Star sovereign nodded heavily, his attitude respectful and reverent.

Seeing this,

the white-haired elder frowned slightly, a look of displeasure appearing on his face.

Since there is, why not introduce them?

The Blue Star sovereign had been watching the crane-haired elder’s bearing and expression out of the corner of his eye.

The moment he saw those white brows knit together slightly, he immediately spoke up to explain:

“He… is not here yet.”

“The opening ceremony has already been underway for a long time. Does he intend to skip it, or is he merely late?” The crane-haired elder’s gaze was indifferent.

Instantly, cold sweat drenched the Blue Star sovereign; he had absolutely no idea what Su Yu was thinking.

He cast a pleading look toward Gu Gu Linger.

Recently,

Gu Gu Linger had been in frequent contact with Su Yu.

Dressed in a white dress, Gu Gu Linger raised her head and replied respectfully:

“He did follow me to this Myriad Realms City. He would not skip it… Perhaps he got lost.”

Hearing Gu Gu Linger’s words,

the crane-haired elder grew even more displeased.

Lost.

What kind of excuse was that?

An opening ceremony for a selection tournament held for the sake of all human civilization—

did it carry no weight at all in these people’s minds?

The atmosphere in the hall fell silent all at once, exceptionally awkward.

The several important figures standing behind the crane-haired elder were also extremely nervous at heart.

They, after all, knew exactly what sort of person this crane-haired elder was.

He was no ordinary figure from the main universe.

Rather, he was a heavyweight of the cultivation civilization!

As for his exact level, they did not know either.

They only knew that this crane-haired elder could represent the cultivation civilization!

The silence stretched on a long while,

so long that one could almost hear the pounding heartbeats of everyone present.

The crane-haired elder spoke: “Then I will come find him again later.”

“When he arrives, remember to contact me.”

“Yes!” The Blue Star sovereign nodded respectfully.

Everyone present let out a breath of relief at once.

Right at that moment,

a voice suddenly rang out.

“Isn’t this the opening ceremony? Why is it so quiet?”

A young man dressed in white robes adorned with jade ornaments walked in.

His attire was pure white like jade, resembling feathers and silk, exuding an air of opulence everywhere.

He did not look like a lord at all, but rather like a young master from some great household.

The crane-haired elder turned around with displeasure to look.

Everyone’s gazes followed nervously as well.

Who could be this audacious, daring to speak loudly on such an occasion?!

“Su… Su Yu…”

Gu Gu Linger was stunned and stammered nervously to the crane-haired elder: “He… he has arrived.”

“Oh?”

The crane-haired elder raised his white brows, and his expression immediately softened.

Su Yu also noticed that everyone looked somewhat odd.

Without saying anything further, he walked over with small, quick steps.

“That outfit of yours is quite impressive.”

The crane-haired elder swept his divine sense over Su Yu’s attire.

Even he had hardly ever seen the material and craftsmanship of this kind.

No doubt, this was an exceedingly extravagant young man.

“Uh, it’s alright, it’s alright.” Su Yu gave a few awkward chuckles.

Seeing the three white clouds embroidered on the crane-haired elder’s chest, how could he not recognize the man’s identity?

Judging by the reverent manner of everyone present,

a figure of this caliber could probably kill him with nothing more than a single glance.

“Your private life is not mine to manage, but I do hope you will put your focus on the selection tournament, and on the Myriad Clans Ranking War.”

The crane-haired elder spoke as if admonishing a junior.

As soon as his voice fell, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.

Not just the selection tournament, but… the Myriad Clans Ranking War?

Did this mean that this man had already been designated to represent the human race in battle?

“Mm.” Su Yu, looking every bit the obedient child, nodded with an air of having received proper instruction.

“I heard that you drew an epic-grade bow from a treasure chest. Is that true?”

The crane-haired elder asked curiously.

Su Yu nodded.

That battle against the Lunar Star Alliance had raised him to level 15,

while also exposing the existence of the Cloud Sky Demon Flame Bow.

"I will trade a legend-grade cultivation art for that epic-grade bow of yours. What do you say?"

The crane-haired elder asked. Though his tone seemed mild, it carried an authority that brooked no refusal.

Instantly,

the sound of breathing in the hall grew heavier.

A legend-grade cultivation art?!

If Su Yu obtained it,

wouldn't that mean his territory would possess two legend-grade combat powers?

And unlike a hero, it would be the lord's own strength!

The allure of this could not be called small.

Within the Myriad Realms Battlefield,

the legend grade, although only one tier above rare grade,

was as distant as a heavenly chasm.

Legend, legend — the reason it is called a legend is because it is something spoken of and passed down.

That makes it something beyond the measure of mere rarity or value.

And this was a legend-grade cultivation art, no less.

Many people classified common, advanced, and rare as one bracket,

and legend, epic, and myth as another.

Because common, advanced, and rare were things you could see and touch.

Legend, epic, and myth existed only in hearsay, like illusory things.

A legend-grade cultivation art...

It was almost the same concept as a legend-grade hero.

Trading an early-stage epic-grade bow for it — an absolute steal, no loss at all!

Equipment from early-stage treasure chests would certainly not be very high level.

Moreover,

Su Yu currently stood in everyone's eyes only by relying on his legend-grade hero.

But a hero could fall prematurely.

If his legend-grade hero, before reaching full growth, encountered some powerful enemy in the future and perished in battle,
