Upon seeing her father, Zhang Yunxis eyes betrayed her respect for him.

She had grown up listening to her fathers stories, so she admired this legendary man!

Zhang Yunxi respectfully bowed. I have successfully completed my mission and brought back the sacred item.

The Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader gradually nodded. Good job. His voice was emotionless.

Zhang Yunxi hesitated for a moment before she said, Esteemed father, when this Divine Firmament Drager Pendant appeared, the Divine Lightning Origin exploded and assimilated into a few fated people.

If they train in our sects lightning techniques, they will definitely be able to have high accomplishments. I think that we should send our people to guide them into the sacred ground and train.

Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader kept silent for a while, then replied calmly, Permitted.

Although his voice was not cold, it was still emotionless. It was as if the person sitting there was not a living person but a robot.

Zhang Yunxi stared at the Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader and sighed after a long time. Then Ill take my leave.

The Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader did not reply, so Zhang Yunxi turned and left. Then, the doors of the Sacred Leaders palace closed once again.

From the beginning till the end, the Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader had not shown even a shred of concern toward his daughter.

The old Taoist priest tilted his head as he looked at the Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader. Youve secretly practiced that evil technique again?

The Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader looked at the old Taoist priest. Senior Brother, you know that it is not an evil technique.

The old Taoist priest pouted. Youre severing all your emotions and desires. Is it still not counted as an evil technique?

The Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader said calmly, Senior Brother, youre overly stubborn.

The old Taoist priest snorted. Just to complete Decalamity? The one who is being stubborn is you!

Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader asked, Yunxi said that the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant is in your hands?

The old Taoist priest nodded. Why? Your daughter asked me to safeguard it.

The Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader said, Thank you, Senior Brother. You can give the jade pendant to me now.

The old Taoist priest said righteously, No, I promised Little Xiaoer that no one could snatch it away from me.

Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader: ???

The lightning surrounding the Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader was cackling while the rising and sinking thick heavenly aura was surging non-stop. It was obvious that his emotion had fluctuated.

Senior Brother, the Drager Pendant is the token of a Sacred Leader.

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, So what? Youre not the first Sacred Leader without the token!

Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader replied, The Drager Pendant is related to the rise and fall of our sect. Senior Brother, please stop joking.

The old Taoist priest laughed in amusement. Oh my, Junior Brother, youve finally become anxious? Alright, I can give you the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant. However, you have to promise me a few conditions.

The Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader said coldly, Senior Brother, please speak straightforwardly.

The old Taoist priest sized up the Sacred Leader. Laugh for me first, then.

The lighting jumping on the Divine Firmaments Sacred Leaders body became even more violent, and the heavenly aura was also falling apart. His eyes were as pressing as the lightning, staring daggers at the old Taoist priest.

Senior Brother, please dont joke around.

The old Taoist priest twitched his lips. Arent you training the Heavenly Dao Sutra to complete Decalamity?

Xiaoer has already brought back the Drager Pendant. Why havent you disposed of that technique? What are you waiting for!?

The Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader replied coldly, You dont understand, Senior Brother. I have already seen the new realm.

Its difficult to reach the top by following the Dharmic Dao. I wish to walk a new Dao. The Heavenly Dao Sutra is crucial, so Its impossible for me to give it up!

Oh! The old Taoist priest pouted. Then, go and walk your new Dao! To prevent you from suffering a Qi Deviation, Ill help you keep this pendant. In case you refuse to acknowledge your relatives and friends, then this pendant will be lost once again.

After finishing, the old Taoist priest turned and walked toward the Sacred Leaders palaces exit.

In that instant, the whole Sacred Leaders palace was filled with lightning, and the heavenly aura was surging like a tsunami.

Just as the old Taoist priest had stepped half a foot outside the Sacred Leaders palace, a strange peal of laughter could be heard from the mist.

Hehehehehe~

Thats right, the Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader was laughing!

The old Taoist priests lips were slightly twitching. He was holding back so badly his lips were slanted.

The Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader said coldly, I havent laughed in more than 100 years, so Im not used to it. Senior Brother, please dont laugh at me. I have already done as Senior Brother said, so you can give me the pendant now!

The old Taoist priest replied, Its only the first condition, there are three more!

Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader replied coldly, Senior Brother, please speak straight to the point.

The old Taoist priest counted with his fingers. The first condition! Since I saved your daughter, Ill need to receive remuneration. According to my price in the black market, each time I make a move costs 1,000,000 Spirit Stones.

Seeing that it was to save Little Xiaoer, Ill give you a 12% discount. Also, your daughter even ate a Great Golden-Winged Eagles thigh.

After the discount, the remuneration must be at least 500,000 Spirit Stones, dont you think? You cant just refuse to acknowledge this!

The Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader said coldly, 1,500 Spirit Crystals. Senior Brother, please state your second condition!

Nice! The old Taoist priest chuckled before saying, Senior Brother, as you can see, I am already in the Soul Formation stage, but I dont have a Spirit Mountain. Could you let me pick a Spirit Mountain to train?

This is impossible, definitely impossible!

The Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader interrupted the old Taoist priest, the heavenly aura around him surging vigorously.

The so-called Spirit Mountain referred to a mountain peak that had bred a Spirit Stone Vein. Within the Divine Firmament Small World, there were a total of 36 Spirit Mountains. As long as ones cultivation level reached the Soul Formation stage, they could become the leader of a Spirit Mountain and accept disciples.

Originally, Elder Azure Lotus, Chu Longhe, also had his own Spirit Mountain, and its quality was excellent. The problem was that this idiot was so obsessed with training the Tinder Sutra when he was in seclusion that he had almost sucked the Spirit Stone Vein dry.

Afterward, the spirit medicines, spirit herbs, and spiritual flowers on the Spirit Mountain directly withered, and it almost became a barren mountain.

According to a Spirit Ore Appraiser, this Spirit Stone Vein could only recover its vitality after at least 1,000 years.

One had to know that Spirit Stone Vines were cultivation sects foundations.

Only those cultivation sects with one or more Spirit Stone Vinea were qualified to be called a Blessed-Land.

Only those with three or more Spirit Stone Veins were qualified to be called a Grotto-Heaven.

Only those with 10 or more Spirit Stone Veins were qualified to be called a Sacred Ground.

Although this was just one of the deciding factors, it was still enough to show the importance of a Spirit Stone Vein.

Chu Longhe had already damaged such an important strategic resource, and now, he actually wanted a second one? How could the Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader agree?

The Divine Firmaments Sacred Leader said helplessly, Senior Brother, state your third condition.

The old Taoist priest smirked and said, The third condition is very simple. Our sects ancestors had promised that the fated one who finds the Drager Pendant and completes the Lightning Imperial Sutra could become the Saint of our sacred ground. If he is willing, he can even marry the Saintess.

Junior Brother, you have both a son and daughter, while even that long-faced Fang Chang is your disciple.

As such, you cant fight with me for that fated person. He has to become my apprentice. Also, his monthly Saint salary, I will help him collect it. Thats right when he marries your daughter, you cant ask for a betrothal gift.

Yeap, basically just these three requests. Its not too much, right?

The Sacred Leaders reluctant voice echoed from within the fog-like heavenly aura. You want to be the master of our sects Saint?

At that moment, the bright lightning was cackling, and the heavenly aura stopped surging.

Senior Brother, bring our Spirit Mountains map over! Which Spirit Mountain did you take a liking to?
