Chapter 1565: Chapter 694: Tianluo Star City
“You’re too kind, Senior,” Li Yuan quickly said.
“Haha, I’m not exaggerating,” the Illusion Heart God King replied cheerfully. “In the history of the Chaos Divine Court, nearly four thousand Divine Kings have emerged, and now there are nearly three thousand Quasi-Saints within the Chaos Mansion… But in a billion years, only you have been praised so highly by the Chaos God Emperor.”
“Even though you’ve just arrived in the Immortal Heaven and Earth,”
“Your reputation is already known among the three thousand Quasi-Saints, all recognizing that you will become the fourth Mansion Master of our Chaos Mansion,” the Illusion Heart God King laughed. “Heart Origin, my young friend, there’s no need to be modest.”
“Junior Brother, everything that Senior Illusion Heart said is true. The Black Stone God King, the Wind Erasure God King, they’ve always had their true bodies in the Immortal Heaven and Earth, and they know about this,” added the Dong Mang God King from the side.
Li Yuan was surprised, realizing that his fame had spread so far.
“Senior, perhaps I might enter the Emperor Realm in the future, but for now, I am still far inferior to you,” Li Yuan continued. “Moreover, I owe my current achievements to you… In my youth, I practiced the ’Illusion Heart Divine Scripture,’ and in some ways, you were like a guide to me.”
“Haha.”
“You’re too polite… You’ve studied my Absolute Skill but developed the World Dao,” the Illusion Heart God King said, shaking his head and smiling. “I wouldn’t dare claim credit.”
Though he said this, Li Yuan’s attitude made him feel comfortable.
Anyone would feel flattered to be praised by such an extraordinary genius.
“Let’s do it this way, Heart Origin, Dong Mang, you’re both Quasi-Saints; on the path of cultivation, the learned are considered peers at the same realm,” the Illusion Heart God King smiled. “There’s no need to call me ’Senior’ anymore, just call me ’Brother Illusion Heart,’ and I’ll call you by your names. How does that sound?”
Li Yuan and the Dong Mang God King exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.
They understood it was a gesture of goodwill from the Illusion Heart God King.
Especially the Dong Mang God King, who knew well that he benefited from Li Yuan’s presence… otherwise, this wasn’t his first time meeting the Illusion Heart God King, so why hadn’t the latter been this courteous before?
Differences in strength and potential lead to differences in attitude.
As time passed, the three continued their conversation, and the Illusion Heart God King inquired about the assassination attempt since he had originally come to the rescue.
The Dong Mang God King explained the events clearly.
“Oh?”
“You actually managed to suppress the eight Quasi-Saint Puppets of Quasi-Saint Mo Yue?” The Illusion Heart God King was slightly surprised. “I originally thought you had escaped… To force them to flee with only two against five, that’s remarkable.”
“The main reason was Junior Brother Heart Origin’s excellent sealing techniques,” the Dong Mang God King remarked.
“Senior Brother, your ability to contain three Divine Kings was crucial,” Li Yuan quickly added.
“Haha, there’s no need for you brothers to flatter each other,” the Illusion Heart God King laughed. “The eight Quasi-Saint Puppets of Quasi-Saint Mo Yue are quite famous; he spent millions of Immortal Merits to exchange for them from the Immortal Divine Hall… To lose them at once, I’m afraid he might approach you soon to get them back. You can demand a hefty price.”
“Can’t we sell them to other forces?” Li Yuan asked.
“It’s not worth it.”
“Other treasures aside, puppets from the Immortal Divine Hall have an ’Eternal Restriction’ on their internal Origin, which only the exchange holder can use… It’s said only some Supreme figures in history could break it and allow others to claim ownership,” the Illusion Heart God King explained. “Otherwise, they can only be dismantled and reforged for materials, which makes their value plummet.”
Li Yuan understood.
The core value of a puppet lies in its Origin Core, but the Immortal Divine Hall… clearly wouldn’t let such treasures circulate freely.
No wonder Quasi-Saint Mo Yue said it was most valuable in his own hands.
“Of course.”
“If you, Heart Origin, don’t want Quasi-Saint Mo Yue to buy them back, you can sell them back to the Immortal Divine Hall,” the Illusion Heart God King smiled. “I reckon the total could fetch a million square Eternal Crystals.”
“A million square Eternal Crystals?” Li Yuan nodded.
Treasures exchanged from the Immortal Divine Hall can indeed be sold back, but they have to be exchanged using ’Immortal Merit,’ while selling them back only yields Eternal Crystals.
There’s no room for negotiation.
Clearly, the operation of the entire Immortal Heaven and Earth maintains tight control over ’Immortal Merit,’ and if you’re not strong enough or don’t make significant contributions to the Immortal Heaven and Earth, you won’t acquire large amounts of Immortal Merit.
“Alright.”
“Then I’ll wait for Mo Yue to contact me,” Li Yuan said. If the other party genuinely wants to repurchase them, he didn’t mind selling them back.
After all, selling them is selling them, no matter to whom.
Even if Quasi-Saint Mo Yue bought them back, Li Yuan wasn’t worried that the other could threaten him.
“Let’s go.”
“Let’s first return to the Chaos Mansion. Heart Origin has just arrived in the Immortal Heaven and Earth… now, all the Quasi-Saints in the Chaos Mansion have received the news and are preparing a welcome celebration,” the Illusion Heart God King smiled. “Moreover, Elder Huo Qu has just sent a message, asking me to bring you to see him first.”
“Elder Huo Qu?” Li Yuan showed a hint of confusion.
“Junior Brother, apart from the three Mansion Masters, our Chaos Mansion also has eight Elders… six of whom are Emperor Realm, and Elder Huo Qu is currently responsible for managing the many Quasi-Saints,” the Dong Mang God King added from the side.
“Six Elders, all Emperor Realm?” Li Yuan was astonished.
Since when were there so many Emperor Realm powerhouses?
“Heart Origin, don’t be surprised.”
“Of the six Elders, three are Emperor Puppets, exchanged by the Divine Emperors from the Immortal Divine Hall,” the Illusion Heart God King smiled. “The other three are native Emperor Realms of the Immortal Heaven and Earth, who sought refuge under our Chaos Mansion for protection.”
“Whether Emperor Puppets or native Emperor Realms, all are unable to leave the Immortal Heaven and Earth,” the Illusion Heart God King concluded.
