Chapter 870

He felt that he, and even the Yuan, had been discriminated against.

But then he thought again: his father, the Khan Temujin, had already died because of the Qinglong Society.

The entire Yuan central authority had also been purged.

Before coming to Qinglong Peak, he had truly believed he would never return.

Now that the Four Dragon Heads are treating everyone this way, shouldn't he be glad instead?

Chagatai comforted himself, and his mood immediately improved.

As he daydreamed, Senior Xiaoyaozi also distributed task jade pendants to Tang, Yunzhou, You Dongying, and other imperial courts.

After distributing them, he said calmly,

"All task details, requirements, etc., are within the jade pendants; take them back and hand them to your respective monarchs."

So it's not just my own side being ignored!

Seeing this, Chagatai felt even more pleased.

Wu Zhao held the task jade pendant and found it strangely odd.

She was the Empress of Tang, yet this Four Dragon Head, Senior Xiaoyaozi, told her to take the jade pendant back and hand it to her own monarch.

Interesting!

This was Qinglong Peak; she couldn't inspect the jade pendant on the spot, so she tucked it into her bosom.

"Alright! The banquet may continue. After it ends, you may follow Mr. Xu to the Divine Weapon Hall for a viewing."

Senior Xiaoyaozi raised his wine goblet and said to all,

"I hope you and your behind-the-scenes factions will complete this task—don't make things difficult for me."

Could anyone dare not complete a Qinglong Society task?

Not completing it means death, right?

Everyone internally grumbled.

But then they remembered Senior Xiaoyaozi had generously allowed them to view the Divine Weapon Hall, and all grew ecstatic.

When Senior Xiaoyaozi had pointed to that distant grand palace complex and called it the Divine Weapon Hall,

Everyone present had stared for a long time.

And when they heard that even Earth-grade weapons were the lowest rank inside, they were utterly stunned.

Now that they learned Senior Xiaoyaozi permitted them to visit the Divine Weapon Hall, no one had any appetite left for food or drink.

They all wished the banquet would end immediately so they could rush to the Divine Weapon Hall and investigate.

But no one dared voice this desire aloud.

Besides, this was a rare chance to ascend Qinglong Peak, and they were before the Three Dragon Heads and several guest advisors.

Normally, even seeing them once was extremely difficult.

Thus, representatives of every faction, except Wu Zetian, kept fawning.

They only hoped to leave even a slight good impression on these Dragon Heads and guest advisors.

At the very least, they didn't want them to think them ill-mannered.

Because of this mindset, the banquet ended with perfect harmony.

After drinking several more cups, Senior Xiaoyaozi said he would go to meditate on his cultivation art.

Zhang Daoling and Zhang Sanfeng followed closely behind.

After the Three Dragon Heads left, the other guest advisors also departed one by one.

In the end, only Seeing Di Shitian remained at the main seat.

He drank another cup with everyone, and under a flood of Ma Pi, he burst into a broad smile.

Then he set down his wine goblet and said,

"Enough! Today has been joyful—let the banquet end here.

You've all surely been impatiently waiting to see the Divine Weapon Hall, haven't you?"

"Not at all! Mr. Xu's talent is celestial and terrestrial—truly a rare genius of the world.

Drinking with Mr. Xu, I am truly blessed across three lifetimes!"

"Indeed! Mr. Xu is learned in ancient and modern lore, his cultivation reaches the heavens.

The Dao of Heaven and Earth you spoke of today will greatly aid my future cultivation."

Instantly, another wave of flattery poured forth.

Even though Seeing Di Shitian knew they spoke three parts truth and seven parts flattery,

He still felt immensely pleased, and casually offered a few words of guidance to the one who mentioned cultivation.

After all, no matter how much one is deceived, flattery never fails.

The one who received Seeing Di Shitian's guidance listened with radiant delight.

Though his cultivation was mediocre, he felt that after hearing Seeing Di Shitian's words today, he would surely break through a minor realm immediately upon returning, reaching Earthly Immortal Realm!

672 Is this a divine weapon of Immortal grade?

After the banquet, Seeing Di Shitian led everyone to the Divine Weapon Hall.

Though called the Divine Weapon Hall, it was in fact a palace complex.

From afar, this palace complex had already been astonishing.

It seemed as if an entire mountain had been bathed in Jin Bihuihuang by the grand palaces.

Only when they drew near did they realize this was no mere palace complex—it was like a sizable city.

Yet this city formed of palaces was not only majestic but also profoundly quiet.

More crucially, the vast Divine Weapon Hall appeared, from afar, to have not a single guard.

From time to time, one could see people of the Qinglong Society in blue robes, entering the Divine Weapon Hall in groups of three or five.

Then coming out of the Divine Weapon Hall again, overjoyed, holding the divine weapons in their hands, chatting with their companions.

Looking at the divine weapons they took out of the Divine Weapon Hall, indeed none were below Earth Grade.

In fact, the vast majority were Heaven Grade!

One must know that Heaven Grade divine weapons, even in the Great Qin Empire that proclaims itself the foremost imperial dynasty, are exceedingly precious!

For example, the assassins of the Heaven-rank grade in Great Qin's Luo Net are called the Eight Swords of the King of Yue.

This is because these Eight Swords of the King of Yue are named after treasured swords from the ancient era.

All eight treasured swords happen to be Heaven Grade divine weapons.

Just from this, one can see how rare Heaven Grade divine weapons are.

Watching the people of the Qinglong Society occasionally being able to exchange for Heaven Grade divine weapons from the Divine Weapon Hall.

Even those of noble status like Fusu and Lord Qiye, the Demon Lord, could not help but feel quite envious.

Yet Fusu also found it strange — just now when the Fourth Dragon Head Senior Xiaoyaozi mentioned the treasures of the three places, the Divine Weapon Hall, the Elixir Pavilion, and the Scripture Pavilion.

He said the treasures stored in these three places were mainly of the four grades: Divine, Immortal, Heaven, and Earth.

Yet following Di Shitian all the way here, not a single person had been able to obtain a divine weapon above Heaven Grade from the Divine Weapon Hall.

Could it be that the Divine Weapon Hall looks magnificent, but in truth there are not many Divine or Immortal Grade divine weapons, and the exchange requirements are too high?

Such that none of these Qinglong Society people could exchange for a single Heaven Grade divine weapon?

This question was not Fusu's alone.

Likely all the other major powers had it too.

But everyone, deterred by the might of the Qinglong Society and Di Shitian's divine powers.

Before entering the Divine Weapon Hall, did not dare to ask rashly, much less dare to ask and speculate without cause.

If one said the wrong thing, it would only invite the Qinglong Society's ill will, which would be most inauspicious.

When they reached the main gate of the Divine Weapon Hall.

Everyone let out another wave of exclamations.

Originally, their gazes had all been drawn to the magnificent building complex, and the divine weapons in the hands of the Qinglong Society people constantly coming and going.

But upon reaching this main gate, they realized that rather than calling it an ordinary gate.

It would be better to say it was another grand-scale Chengguan.

Compared to the famed Yanmen Pass of the Great Tang known throughout the world, its strategic defensibility was in no way inferior.

Yet atop this vast Chengguan, there was still not a single person.

It seemed the architecture within the Qinglong Society was all built with grandeur and magnificence as the main theme.
