Chapter 384: Chapter 287: Royal Heritage! The Rewards—I Want Them All!
In a world where martial strength reigns supreme, they won’t distinguish between ruler and subject with you!
Strength is everything!
Suddenly, the Power of Law emanating from Empress Xia Mingyue dissipated abruptly.
Consequently, Lu Xuan, whose nerves had been tense, relaxed slightly.
Lu Xuan had been ready to flee at a moment’s notice.
Currently, there were already four Pocket World experts present in the palace.
Among them was a figure suspected to be of the highest caliber, someone in the Pocket World Realm, so Lu Xuan didn’t need to think twice and planned to make his escape immediately.
It seemed that Her Majesty the Empress wanted to test his strength.
However, what she didn’t know was.
That while she was trying to test his strength, Lu Xuan also had intentions.
He wanted to see what kind of power this Empress, who presided over the Great Xia Palace and ruled over the world, truly possessed.
Now, after the earlier test, Lu Xuan had his answer!
This Empress, the seemingly casual power of the Heaven and Earth Laws she wielded, actually far surpassed Lu Xuan.
Could it be that she’s also a master of the Void Realm? Someone who has condensed a Pocket World?
Lu Xuan hadn’t forgotten that this Empress also possessed the Great Xia royal family’s ancestral artifact, the Profound Bird Cauldron.
With her martial cultivation, coupled with the mysterious and unfathomable Profound Bird Cauldron.
If he were to face her, he would have no chance of winning at all!
Just as Lu Xuan withdrew the Power of Law, Empress Xia Mingyue stood in front of him, the hem of her dark imperial robe fluttering lightly in the breeze.
At this moment, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Mr. Lu, I’ve heard that you have a fondness for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects and ritual artifacts."
"Here are three little items, and I allow you to choose one at will."
With that, she gracefully raised her flawless jade-like hand, a faint black light sweeping across her palm.
Soon after, three exquisite small jade boxes hovered above her right palm.
The jade boxes quietly opened, and two streams of unimaginably potent Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rapidly filled the entire hall.
Lu Xuan’s attention was instantly captivated by those three small jade boxes.
They were of the same class of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects as the Pocket World spiritual object, the Black Spirit Wood, that the Empress had previously bestowed upon him.
Two Pocket World spiritual objects, perhaps?
And a black bronze jade pendant, covered with naturally formed heavenly patterns.
"This is the Eight-patterned Moon Artifact, the Spirit Suppressing Pendant!"
Empress Xia Mingyue only introduced this one ritual artifact, without mentioning the other two Pocket World spiritual objects.
Because she knew that Lu Xuan was already aware, so there was no need for further explanation.
However, what Empress Xia Mingyue did not expect was.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my impertinence!"
"If possible, I am very fond of all three of these items."
"I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish!"
Lu Xuan’s words almost amounted to directly telling Empress Xia Mingyue.
That he wanted all three of these items!
Only children make choices; Lu Xuan had a different idea.
He wanted them all!
"Pfft!" A soft laugh escaped.
"Mr. Lu, you truly surprise me!"
Empress Xia Mingyue’s vermilion lips parted, her voice crisp and melodious, carrying an uncontrollable hint of amusement.
This was the first time she had laughed out loud in front of an outsider without reservation.
In an instant, Empress Xia Mingyue’s world-class smile was imprinted in Lu Xuan’s eyes.
The allure contained within that smile was soul-stirring, even Lu Xuan felt a strange emotion.
In the next moment, Empress Xia Mingyue casually waved her jade hand, and those three jade boxes drifted leisurely towards Lu Xuan, coming to a steady halt in mid-air.
"Very well, then let it be as Mr. Lu wishes."
Lu Xuan was momentarily taken aback; he hadn’t expected this Empress to be so decisive.
Are you really going to give them to me?
But despite his thoughts, Lu Xuan’s speed in receiving the three jade boxes was astonishingly fast.
Within a second, the three small jade boxes vanished instantly with a swipe of dark light, already collected by Lu Xuan into the Void Realm.
"Mr. Lu, tomorrow stand in for me at the martial arts tournament, to select the top hundred candidates for the upcoming Spirit Ruins event."
"You will have full authority, no need to consult!"
By the time Lu Xuan looked ahead again, Empress Xia Mingyue’s figure had already vanished.
"A martial arts tournament?"
"I humbly accept the decree!"
Lu Xuan gently clasped his hands and bowed towards where the Empress had departed, then quietly stepped into the void and left as well!
Lu Xuan wasn’t too concerned about the martial arts tournament tomorrow.
A half-day’s time was enough for him to refine these three items.
