Chapter 1217: Chapter 1217: Feng Tianhe’s Request

"Has your body recovered quickly? How are the Power of Origin within you and your right eye doing now?"

Three days after waking up from that rod-induced coma, Pei Yan was training in the courtyard with Hu Jiu to regain his physical abilities. Having long sensed Lin Junzhao’s presence entering the courtyard, Pei Yan didn’t stop his current movements when he heard these words, and while exercising, he said, "Not much different from a few days ago. My body feels tremendously awkward, constantly requiring effort and source energy to suppress and balance the two newly absorbed Powers of Origin within me. As for my right eye, as long as I leave it alone, it won’t have any uncomfortable reactions. I think the only way to resolve this state is to gather all the Power of the Six Paths Origin."

Upon saying this, Pei Yan glanced at the vibrant Hu Jiu beside him and couldn’t help but be irritated. Not only did Hu Jiu not have the pain of a seal on his right eye, but the imbalance effects of the two Powers of Origin seemed almost negligible for him. Thus, he woke up well before Pei Yan. His good physical state now makes Pei Yan envious.

Growing more incensed, Pei Yan slapped the daydreaming Hu Jiu on the back, complaining, "Weren’t we supposed to be two in one? Why am I the one suffering all the side effects of evolution, while you get all the benefits!"

"Third Brother! I—I want to share the burden with you too! But I can’t do it!" said Hu Jiu, who was covertly smiling at Pei Yan’s leaden-legged training appearance moments ago, and now, felt wronged, muttering quietly.

"Though the covenant allows the two of you to share powers, before signing it, you were undoubtedly the stronger party. Coupled with the unique nature of your body, some powers can’t reach your height, even if bound by the covenant," Lin Junzhao said while approaching, staring at Pei Yan’s peculiar right eye, wanting to touch it but feeling apprehensive, finally opting not to raise his hand. Instead, he said, "If your body permits, return to Yirong Pavilion. The Divine Artifact you requested has been created."

"Really!" Pei Yan was overjoyed upon hearing that and exclaimed.

"Yes! In the Sun Dial Divine Artifact, over five years, top-notch Mechanical Masters and Alchemists from multiple planes, including your Engineer Li, have crafted both your requested artifact and the key components for your body modification. They’re waiting for you to receive them. So, will you recover for a few more days or head there now?"

"I’ll go now! I’ll go now! I’ve already adapted to my current body state, and this is no big deal for me," said Pei Yan eagerly, rushing outside before Lin Junzhao could finish. Seeing him like this, Lin Junzhao, with mixed emotions, had no choice but to hurriedly lead him through many secret realms back to the Immortal Palace, immediately heading to Yirong Pavilion.

Upon entering the gate, Pei Yan first saw Gu Shenghui, who was already waiting after receiving news. The other party observed Pei Yan’s current appearance and was initially taken aback, saying, "What happened to your eye?"

"Ah! It’s a small issue! A minor problem from training that will soon be resolved. How’s our team? Is everyone okay?" Pei Yan, not wanting to worry his friend upon being asked, quickly shifted the topic.

"Well, um, they all have their own tasks and aren’t at Yirong Pavilion right now. Oh, right! You’re here to receive the Divine Artifact, aren’t you? Hurry up! Those old elders have been waiting impatiently."

"Okay! I’ll head over first and we’ll talk in detail about my experiences once I’m back." Focused on the Divine Artifact, Pei Yan didn’t notice the odd expression on Gu Shenghui’s face. After greeting him, he hurriedly stormed into Yirong Pavilion courtyard, touched the Sun Dial Divine Artifact, activated the source energy, and flashed inside.

"You’re finally here! We thought you didn’t want this artifact anymore!" Azote, the Alchemy Master from the Plane of Magic, saw Pei Yan’s figure, swiftly stepped forward, and teasingly said with a grin.

"How could I! During my mission, I was constantly thinking about the Divine Artifact crafted by the masters for me. As soon as I heard it was completed, I rushed over without delay!" Pei Yan, who held great respect for these masters who modified his body and created the artifact, performed a disciple’s salute to those inside the artifact to express gratitude.

"Hahaha, while we’ve been obscure, Pei Yan, you’ve been in the limelight. I heard you showcased great powers in the Dragon Realm and with Blood Fiend? Is this eye a remnant from those battles?" Azote inquired, curiously observing Pei Yan’s peculiar right eye.

"Ah! Well, sort of! Just a small issue, not worth mentioning! Azote, Elder Feng, may I have a look at the artifact?" Unwilling to dwell on this issue, Pei Yan directed his attention to the two masters.

Feng Tianhe, unlike his previous dominant demeanor when leading Pei Yan’s body modification, avoided Pei Yan’s inquisitive gaze, looking rather embarrassed. Seeing this, Azote, enjoying the moment, didn’t expose it, cheerfully grabbed Pei Yan’s wrist and teased, "In a rush! In a rush! This thing was made for you; of course, we won’t hold back. Brother Feng, quickly bring it out!"

"Oh! Okay! Okay!" Reminded by Azote, Feng Tianhe closely observed Pei Yan, seeing anticipation rather than anomaly in his expression, felt slightly relieved, finally taking out three differently sized wooden boxes. Just as Pei Yan was about to receive them, Feng Tianhe tightened his grip on the boxes, looking at Pei Yan with a begging expression. Under Pei Yan’s puzzled gaze, Feng Tianhe hesitated for a moment but spoke, "Pei Xiaoyou, this artifact represents significant effort from the Mo Sect. I, Feng Tianhe, have no other requests but to ask that if the Immortal Palace unknowingly offends you in the future, you’d overlook it in light of our hard work."

"Uh! This! Elder Feng, you jest. I’m not a petty person. Since we’ve formed an alliance, I won’t fuss over minor issues," Pei Yan said with a smile, finally sensing something was amiss.

Afterward, seeing Feng Tianhe still gripping the boxes tightly, staring intently, Pei Yan sighed helplessly and said, "Go ahead, what happened in the Immortal Palace for you to lower your stance and plead with someone like me?"

"Promise me first!" Feng Tianhe insisted, clutching the boxes.

"Elder Feng! Let’s not forget that modifying my body and creating the artifact was a transaction between me and Spirit Lord Lin! I’ve paid a price for these!" Feng Tianhe’s persistent pressure made Pei Yan displeased, and he sneered with a stern face.

"This...! Sigh!" Feng Tianhe, hearing this, saw Pei Yan’s expression and realized he couldn’t influence the decision, dejectedly released the box.
