A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 427

Chapter 427: The Distinguished Guest at the Divine Treasures Pavilion

At the same time, Wu Hao didn’t have to wait long before he saw Lu Cangjing return hastily, accompanied by two elderly men.

“Is this item yours, guest?” Cheng Zishen carefully inquired after entering and seeing Wu Hao and the Chaos Bell placed before him.

Upon hearing this, Wu Hao nodded calmly, his expression unchanged.

“Yes, it is indeed mine.”

“Very well, then please leave it to me for appraisal.”

From the moment Cheng Zishen stepped inside, he sensed Wu Hao’s extraordinary nature. After all, Wu Hao was a God Emperor, but Cheng couldn’t detect his true presence. This suggested that Wu Hao’s strength far surpassed his own.

Meanwhile, Qin Shaolong, who had quietly followed along, grew increasingly serious upon seeing Wu Hao.

He was a God Venerable, yet even he could not penetrate Wu Hao’s cultivation level. Moreover, an intense aura of danger radiated from Wu Hao, so overwhelming it felt as if Wu Hao could easily kill him in an instant if he wished.

“How is this possible? I am a God Venerable, and there aren’t many in the entire Divine Realm who can match me—how could I so easily encounter a true God Emperor?” Qin Shaolong’s heart was filled with disbelief, but soon a surge of battle spirit rose within him. Qin Shaolong was nothing less than a battle maniac; when faced with a potentially stronger opponent, his first reaction was not fear, but the desire to fight.

However, it was clear that now was not the time. He would wait until Wu Hao left before challenging him to a duel.

Meanwhile, Cheng Zishen took out his tools and began appraising the grade of the small bell before him. But as time passed and the evaluation deepened, his breathing gradually grew more hurried.

Before long, Cheng Zishen set down his tools and turned to Wu Hao, his tone filled with excitement as he asked, “Senior, could this be a Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact?”

Before Wu Hao could answer, Qin Shaolong and Lu Cangjing’s hearts trembled in shock. A Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact? Those who could wield such an artifact, aside from those with incredibly deep foundations, could only be God Emperor Realm elites.

In other words, the Wu Hao before them was a God Emperor Realm powerhouse.

Faced with Cheng Zishen’s inquiry, Wu Hao nodded calmly.

“That’s right, this is indeed a Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact. I wonder what price your Divine Treasures Pavilion could fetch for it?”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zishen’s breathing grew quickened, but he soon shook his head and said, “Senior, I’m not the one who can decide this. Only the Pavilion Master has that authority. Please wait a moment—I will go and summon the Pavilion Master now.”

Shaking his head, Cheng Zishen then took out a Communication Artifact to contact the Pavilion Master of their Divine Treasures Pavilion.

After receiving the message, the Pavilion Master—a Late Stage God Venerable powerhouse—hurried over. It was none other than Heaven’s Punishment Venerable.

Upon arriving, Heaven’s Punishment Venerable looked at Cheng Zishen, whose breathing was rapid, and asked anxiously, “Zishen, are you absolutely certain this is a Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact?”

“I can swear by the Great Dao Oath that this is indeed a Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact!” Cheng Zishen said with utmost conviction.

Hearing this, Heaven’s Punishment Venerable finally believed him and carefully turned to Wu Hao, cautiously asking,

“Senior, may I ask how I should address you?”

“Just call me Wandao.”

Wu Hao said calmly.

Heaven’s Punishment Venerable quickly replied, “Greetings, Senior Wandao. The price for this Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact is simply too high for our Divine Treasures Pavilion to afford. Could you perhaps be a bit more lenient? Maybe lower the price a little?”

As he spoke, Heaven’s Punishment Venerable cautiously glanced up at Wu Hao, careful not to offend him.

After hearing this, Wu Hao pondered for a moment before responding, “Of course it can be cheaper. In that case, bring me everything listed on my list, and then give me about ten billion units of Supreme Divine Source. How does that sound to you?”

Wu Hao had done his research. The typical market price for a Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact was about fifty billion units of Supreme Divine Source. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures needed to awaken the Nether Dao Physique he wanted to purchase cost no more than five billion units.

Combined, that was still less than half the price of a single Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact. Wu Hao was genuinely being very reasonable. But that was because he had plenty of Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifacts himself, which allowed him to offer a discount to the Divine Treasures Pavilion.Otherwise, no matter what, Wu Hao would never sell a Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact to the Divine Treasures Pavilion so cheaply.

Upon hearing this, Heaven’s Punishment Venerable’s expression twisted with internal conflict. Although the price was still painfully high for the Divine Treasures Pavilion, it was something they could manage.

In front of a Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact, this cost was nothing at all.

If they could obtain a Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact, then the Divine Treasures Pavilion would have at least a shred of self-protection against God Emperor Realm powerhouses.

With this in mind, Heaven’s Punishment Venerable gritted his teeth and agreed.

“Senior, let’s go ahead with this price.”

“Pleasure doing business with you.”

Wu Hao smiled before tossing the Chaos Bell directly to Heaven’s Punishment Venerable.

Heaven’s Punishment Venerable was somewhat surprised and asked in puzzlement,

“Senior, aren’t you worried that the Divine Treasures Pavilion will just take this Ninth-Grade God Emperor Artifact without giving you the Divine Source in return?”

“Oh, you’re welcome to try.”

Wu Hao looked at Heaven’s Punishment Venerable with a smile. Although he smiled, for some reason Heaven’s Punishment Venerable felt an incredibly terrifying threat—as if he might die at any moment.

Suddenly, Heaven’s Punishment Venerable realized the truth: this senior had absolute confidence and strength. If the Divine Treasures Pavilion broke their agreement, this senior would probably move against the pavilion the very next second.

Moreover, the Divine Treasures Pavilion would have no means of resistance, not even if Heaven’s Punishment Venerable were to dissolve the Chaos Bell.

“Senior, please wait a moment. I will go gather the resources immediately.”

Heaven’s Punishment Venerable bowed to Wu Hao, then went off to collect Divine Source and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Although Heaven’s Punishment Venerable was the master of the Divine Treasures Pavilion, not all its treasures were with him. Most of the pavilion’s priceless items were stored in vaults protected by Eighth-Grade Divine Arrays.
