Chapter 52: Is this about the Heavenly Secret Pavilion?
"Reporting to the God Emperor, Elder of the Radiant Light Holy Land seeks an audience!" While Bei Chenheng was contemplating, a high-ranking officer clad in armor strode forward. He stopped in front of the hall and respectfully announced.
"The Radiant Light Holy Land?" Bei Chenheng furrowed his brows slightly.
This Holy Land was no ordinary force.
Nowadays, in the entire world, among the most powerful figures in each sect, openly acknowledged as the strongest, were Great Saints.
However, the strongest ancestor of the Radiant Light Holy Land was a Quasi Emperor!
Of course, It's not ruled out that some Holy Lands prefer to keep a low profile.
Even if they have Quasi Emperor ancestors, they might choose to remain concealed.
The Radiant Light Holy Land's approach has its pros and cons.
The downside is that the Holy Land is immensely powerful, causing many forces to unite against it.
Even righteous factions hesitate to provoke the Radiant Light Holy Land.
The advantage is that wherever the Radiant Light Holy Land goes, no one dares to provoke them. All factions, big or small, have to show deference.
"Why would an elder from the Radiant Light Holy Land visit the Great Yin Dynasty?" Bei Chenheng pondered endlessly.
Could it be to congratulate me?
The thought was quickly dismissed from his mind.
He had only become a Saint and ascended to the position of God Emperor a few hours ago.
The news couldn't have spread to the Radiant Light Holy Land so quickly.
Even if there were spies from the Radiant Light Holy Land in his dynasty, it would take time for them to relay the information, and the Holy Land would need time to dispatch someone.
This timeframe was clearly not something that could be accomplished in a day.
"Let him in." Bei Chenheng stood up.
His true qi circulated around him, wiping away the sweat that had just surfaced, restoring his aura of God Emperor majesty.
Outside the hall, the military officer departed.
Before long, he returned, leading an old man with graying hair.
"Hong Yuanshan, Elder of the Radiant Light Holy Land, greets Fellow Daoist Bei Chen!" After entering the hall, Hong Yuanshan looked around, glanced casually at Bei Chenheng, and nonchalantly saluted as if this were his own backyard.
"So, it's Elder Hong!" Bei Chenheng's voice was indifferent, lacking any warmth.
Having just become the God Emperor of Great Yin, being addressed as "Fellow Daoist" rather than "God Emperor" was a clear attempt to belittle the Great Yin Dynasty.
If the Great Yin God Emperor and the Radiant Light Holy Land Elder were considered equals, wouldn't this automatically diminish the God Emperor's status?
After all, they were all peers who had competed on the same stage in their youth.
While they might have been young geniuses back then, now they represented not only themselves but also the forces behind them.
"I am not sure why Elder Hong, from so far away, has come to the Great Yin Dynasty. What is the purpose?" Bei Chenheng suppressed his anger and inquired.
The strength of the Great Yin Dynasty wasn't weak, but compared to the Radiant Light Holy Land, it fell short.
Whether or not the Holy Land had Quasi Emperor ancestors was uncertain, but one thing was certain – the Great Yin Dynasty didn't possess an Imperial Weapon, while the Radiant Light Holy Land did.
This alone made the Radiant Light Holy Land superior.
Therefore, even if he lost face, Bei Chenheng had to endure, trying not to provoke the other side.
"Hong came here for one thing, and that's for the Borrowing Luck to Become Saint Method in Fellow Daoist Bei Chen's hands…" Hong Yuanshan spoke eloquently.
With a wave of his hand, a jade slip appeared.
"Hong came with sincerity. The Radiant Light Holy Land won't take anyone's belongings for free. Here's a set of Saint Grade cultivation techniques, which can be used to exchange for the Borrowing Luck to Become Saint Method in Fellow Daoist Bei Chen's hands."
"Elder Hong, are you joking?" Bei Chenheng responded with a cold tone.
To exchange the Borrowing Luck to Become Saint Method for a set of Saint Grade cultivation techniques? Where in the world would such a good deal exist?
Saint Grade techniques, at best, were theoretically capable of reaching the Saint realm.
However, whether one could truly reach this level depended on personal talent, opportunities, and comprehension – the trifecta.
Moreover, the Borrowing Luck to Become Saint Method was different.
As long as one comprehended this technique and had the assistance of fate, one could create a Saint anytime, anywhere.
The comparison in value was evident.
More over it was just a Saint Grade Divine Art.
Even if it's from the legendary Imperial Clan, possessing Imperial art and Imperial weapons, wouldn't it still be considered fallen if it has declined?
Therefore, in the eyes of the Great Yin Dynasty, the value of Saint Grade techniques were not significant, and they already possessed their own and weren't lacking.
"Hong never jokes, and the Radiant Light Holy Land's reputation doesn't allow Hong to joke either. " Hong Yuanshan shook his head, looking at Bei Chenheng, and calmly said, "So… Fellow Daoist Bei Chen, are you planning to exchange or not?"
"If I say no, how will it be?" Bei Chenheng responded coldly.
"It doesn't matter." Hong Yuanshan was confident, smiling as he continued, "But the Borrowing Luck to Become Saint Method is extremely precious. Now that it has appeared in Fellow Daoist Bei Chen's hands, this news will spread far and wide sooner or later. By then, various sects will exert pressure, and I'm afraid the Great Yin Dynasty, relying solely on a few individuals, will find it challenging to withstand this pressure!"
"Heh!" Bei Chenheng sneered, and said, "There's no need for the Radiant Light Holy Land to worry about this. The Great Yin Dynasty has its own ways of dealing with it!"
"Fellow Daoist Bei Chen's solution, is it related to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion?" Hong Yuanshan spoke again, his voice raising a few degrees, saying sternly, "Or do you believe, Fellow Daoist Bei Chen, that the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master can withstand the joint forces of all sects in the world?"
