"To possess the strength to slay a Quasi-Imperial Monarch?" Ah Ran looked startled as she scanned Yang Ji up and down, thinking he had gone mad. Her gaze slowly became strange.
Seeing this, Yang Ji didn’t waste words. He released his aura fully, with the Power of Destiny’s suppression gone, the lingering resentments from Cang Huang before his death enveloped the sky and bore down upon Ah Ran, assaulting her mind directly.
"Ah! This is..." Overwhelmed by the resentment, her complexion turned deathly pale as if she had seen an endless slaughter, and she let out a panicked scream. In her terror, she stumbled backward, nearly falling to the ground.
Upon seeing her reaction, Yang Ji promptly retracted his aura and covered everything with the Power of Destiny, causing the resentment to vanish without a trace.
"How about it? Miss Ah Ran, do I qualify to attend the auction now?"
"You, you..." Ah Ran, still unsettled, stammered as she looked at Yang Ji, finding herself at a loss for words.
"Esteemed fellow indeed has the qualifications to attend tonight’s auction!" Suddenly, a pleasant voice filled the room. The space tore apart, and a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a gauzy dress walked out with a smile.
"I am Ru Yan, the daughter of the Qianyuan Immortal King. May I inquire the name of my esteemed fellow?" Ru Yan asked with a gentle smile. Though she appeared cordial, she also exuded an aura of authoritative nobility, a trait clearly cultivated from wielding great influence over the years. She turned to the still shaken Ah Ran and said, "You may leave now."
"Yes, miss!"
Yang Ji glanced at Ah Ran as she walked away, then said to Ru Yan, "I am Luo Xiong, a mere independent cultivator."
"Fellow Luo truly has remarkable abilities. Even the Great Luo Immortal Sage can slay a Quasi-Imperial Monarch. Truly impressive. I fear if I were to face you, death would be my only fate," Ru Yan commented graciously, her eyes filled with curiosity as she inspected Yang Ji. Above her head, information appeared [{What techniques does this person have to kill a Quasi-Imperial Monarch? Could he possess a Supreme World-Stabilizing Treasure? An Innate Supreme Treasure? Or an Origin Supreme Treasure?}]
Yang Ji looked at her and said directly, "I have this charm, capable of killing a Quasi-Imperial Monarch."
"Oh? What kind of Talismans is this?" Even the well-versed Ru Yan, upon seeing the Death Sentence in Yang Ji’s hand, furrowed her brow slightly, unable to recognize it.
"This is the Curse of Hastened Death, derived from the legendary Origin Treasure of Destiny, the Death Sentence. Its power is immense and mystifying. There are rumours that by using this charm, one can find the actual Death Sentence; its value is immeasurable," Yang Ji explained slowly.
"Death Sentence? Isn’t the Origin Treasure of Destiny known as the ’Destiny Compass’? What exactly is this Death Sentence..." It was clear that Ru Yan was unaware of the Death Sentence’s existence, which was normal since even the Giant Immortal King of the Rail Wooden Box was oblivious to it.
"You might as well let the Qianyuan Immortal King examine this charm; its value can then be discerned," Yang Ji suggested.
The Qianyuan Immortal King, a Supreme Immortal King of the Celestial Court who once held the position of the court’s leader, had a breadth of knowledge far surpassing that of the Rail Wooden Box. He might be aware of the Death Sentence’s existence.
Even if he did not know, he could surely ascertain the value of the Curse of Hastened Death.
"Very well, please wait a moment, fellow. I will now take this charm to my father for his perusal." Ru Yan’s expression became serious, and she vanished into the rift in space.
A short while later.
Ru Yan reappeared, tearing through space back into the room with a beaming smile.
"Esteemed fellow, this charm indeed has an immeasurable value. Since fellow had traded for half of a Superior Immortal Stone Vein before, it appears that fellow requires Immortal Stone Veins for cultivation. Our firm is willing to purchase this charm with a Supreme Immortal Stone Vein."
"No, no, no, I am not exchanging this charm for Immortal Stone Veins; I only wish to acquire that Immortal King Artifact crafted from copper mother," Yang Ji said, shaking his head.
"Esteemed fellow must know that it is an Immortal King Artifact, an item of immense value! Although your charm is mysterious and carries the Law of Dao Destiny, it might just be crafted by an expert who has contemplated the Path of Destiny. While it can slay a Quasi-Imperial Monarch, it is only limited to that. To exchange it for an Immortal King Artifact seems somewhat inadequate," Ru Yan replied delicately, taking a seat. "Besides, that Immortal King Artifact isn’t property of our firm; it’s consigned by someone else, and we don’t have the authority to decide. If fellow truly desires it, you may bid for it alongside various Immortal Kings at the auction."
Yang Ji observed Ru Yan and noticed there was no unusual information above her head, indicating that even the Qianyuan Immortal King was not aware of the Death Sentence’s existence. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have considered it just an ordinary Talismans created by an expert who had contemplated the Path of Destiny.
Indeed, though the Path of Destiny is difficult to comprehend, it is not impossible.
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
There are many prodigiously talented individuals who have managed to understand it to the Quasi Immortal King Peak, but they just couldn’t achieve Immortality through the Path of Destiny.
Because throughout history, there has never been a mention of anyone achieving the state of Immortal King by integrating the Dao of Destiny with their being.
Even the Ancestor of Origin, it is only said that he was born from Origin and capable of contemplating all Dao.
Comprehending all Dao is relatively straightforward, and the threshold for entry is low. Even Tian Jizi has captured a portion of Destiny’s Origin, but delving deep into it to achieve Immortality through the Path of Destiny is probably something not even the Ancestor of Origin has accomplished.
After all, no such words have ever trickled down through the ages, not even a whisper.
Destiny is indeed the most mysterious of Dao.
Even Magical Treasures associated with it are shrouded in mystery. If it weren’t for his Golden Finger, he would likely be unaware that in addition to the Destiny Compass, there are nine other Destiny Magical Treasures.
Having his Talismans belittled and its value underestimated, Yang Ji could not easily explain. After all, he couldn’t just say, "I have the Golden Finger, and I can see that this is certainly the Curse of Hastened Death," could he?
