Hearing Ning Wuque’s words, everyone began to discuss among themselves.
The alliance led by the Spiritual Studies Palace would inevitably involve the distribution of interests. This activated the ambitions of various powers. This opportunity of offering tribute was a perfect chance to secure more rights and benefits.
Just as Ning Wuque’s voice fell, an elder in the Tribulation Crossing Period stood up and said with a smile, “That might be good. After all, the main reason we came this time is to celebrate the old Palace Master’s birthday. The matter of establishing the alliance could be slowly discussed.”
“The slow discussions might not work due to time constraints. The abnormalities in the Forbidden Land of Life have been occurring more frequently. Recently, someone claimed to have found traces of living beings inside. As a result, more practitioners will get the news. By then, even if we have established an alliance, we will be very passive.”
Another strong practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Period stood up and spoke. His words received unanimous approval.
On the side of Ink Pool Peak, an old crone stood up and said, “I propose that after giving the tribute, each major power can come forward to discuss the matter of the alliance.”
At this time, Hua Youyue suddenly said, “What about the rogue practitioners?”
Hua Youyue’s words immediately met with a wave of responses. All the rogue practitioners stood up and said, “Exactly! We rogue practitioners have no power to speak of. Surely, we’re not going to be excluded from this alliance, right?”
“The alliance must have a place for the rogue practitioners. After all, we are
also a powerful force.”
Hearing everyone’s discussions, a strong practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Period at the head of the Spiritual Studies Palace spoke in a deep voice, “Everyone, please calm down. The Spiritual Studies Palace naturally wouldn’t overlook the power of rogue practitioners, but do you have any suitable candidates in mind now?”
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
The so-called rogue practitioners were those who didn’t want to be bound by sects, so they chose not to join any sect and become rogue practitioners. Who could recommend someone now?
“Master Liu of the Palace, what do you suggest we rogue practitioners should do?”
At these words, the Palace Master of the Spiritual Studies Palace was stunned. He laughed and said, “This is for you to decide. Otherwise, any choice I make will hardly be satisfactory.”
Hearing this, everyone was startled and began to discuss.
At this moment, a rogue practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Period stood up and said with a laugh, “In ancient times, the leader was the virtuous one. I admit that I couldn’t convince everyone with my merits. Now that the world s rogue practitioners are gathered, most of us don’t know each other, so naturally there isn’t anyone who can convince everyone. So, I propose that later in the birthday celebration, the person who can most please the old Palace Master would be the leader of this time. What do you all think?”
“It should be so!”
“What this senior said is right. Being able to present a tribute that even the old Palace Master loves, this person must be extraordinary. It’s acceptable that we listen to his dispatch temporarily.”
“Let’s do it this way. After all, everyone came to offer birthday gifts. Whoever can make the old Palace Master happy, will be the representative leader of our alliance this time!”
Amid the clamor of everyone, the old Palace Master chuckled, raised his hands, and said, “Since the fellow rogue practitioners value this old lady so much,
she’ll act as a notary.”
With the old Palace Master to act as the notary, no one on the scene had any comment or dared to make any comment.
Yang Zhen was sitting bored on the side, always feeling the barely noticeable gaze of the man called Ning Wuque.
Looking worried, Hu Tao noticed Ning Wuque’s targeting of Yang Zhen, she curiously asked, “How did you and Hua Lingnu become acquainted, that you could provoke Ning Wuque’s hostility?”
Yang Zhen cursed, spit, then said, “Damn it, if this Sao Saint catches that boy’s tail, he won’t hesitate to kill him with a 360-degree flat sand wild goose-style throw.”
-What does a ‘360-degree flat sand wild goose-style’ mean?” Hu Tao curiously asked.
Yang Zhen was taken aback and said, “It’s… never mind, it’s hard to explain to you!”
Hu Tao stared at Yang Zhen with a puzzled face, asking, “It sounds fun, will you let him try it when you have a chance?”
II It
Yang Zhen simply shut his mouth!
At this moment, a rogue practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Period suddenly stood up and laughed aloud, saying, “Since no one is willing to show their birthday tributes first, I will inspire everyone.”
Upon hearing this, all the people present showed excited expressions. Any person who dared to display their tribute was confident about their tribute. Otherwise, they would just give the tribute to the disciples of the Spiritual Studies Palace who were responsible for collecting them.
So, this strong practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Period certainly intended to compete for the position of representative of the rogue practitioners. Moreover, he was going to offer something unusual.
Under the gaze of the crowd, this practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Period took out a stone tablet from his storage ring, held it in his hand, and laughed saying, “This stone tablet is what I found accidentally in a cave in the North Ridge Sea. I have never understood its purpose. I just feel that the patterns on it are extraordinary. Now I will take this opportunity to gift it to the old Palace Master.”
Upon hearing this, the old Palace Master’s eyes lit up with surprise. She asked, “I feel a fluctuation of the aura of talent here. Are these traces of patterns left by the Way of Talent?”
“Exactly!” the practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Period replied with a smile. “There should be some kind of information depicted on this stone tablet. I guess it’s very likely left over from an existence not long after the beginning of time.”
What?
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, looking doubtfully at the stone tablet in the old man’s hand.
Even Yang Zhen, upon hearing these words, was taken aback, stood up, stretched his neck, and looked over.
The old Palace Master held the stone tablet from the practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Period in her hand, examined it carefully, and smiled.
The practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Period’s face brightened, looking eagerly at the old Palace Master.
The rest of the crowd were also excited, watching the old Palace Master, even their breathing became quiet.
Under everyone’s attention, the old Palace Master suddenly shook her head and said, “This is just a trace left in recent years. There’s nothing special about it!” After speaking, the old Palace Master said to the dejected practitioner with a smile, “Although there’s nothing special, I received your goodwill. Thank you!” The practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Period gave a wry smile, “The old Palace Master flatters me too much. I will take my leave!”
Everyone looked at the practitioner in the Tribulation Crossing Period with astonishment. There were those who regretted it, and those who took pleasure in his misfortune. The practitioner’s face turned flushed in embarrassment as he retreated with disappointment.
Next, many people offered their tributes. Although the old Palace Master accepted all of them, it was clear that none of them pleased her.
For a time, everyone was uneasy, thinking that the old Palace Master, who had been in control of the Spiritual Studies Palace for many years, had seen all kinds of treasures, and was proficient in the Way of Talent. However, everyone was intent on gaining the love of the old Palace Master, and most of them chose tributes related to the talent. How could they easily catch the old Palace Master’s eyes?
With everyone looking at each other, most were awkward, and no one came forward.
Among the crowd, Mo Xueling looked at Hua Youyue and turned to Ning Wuque, “Master Ning, why don’t you go up and offer your gift first to show us all?”
Ning Wuque’s mouth curled up with a smile full of deep meaning. After glancing at Hua Youyue and then turning to Mo Xueling, he said, “If Ink Pool Peak hasn’t made a move yet, how could we, Beigu Institute, steal the show?
Furthermore…”
At this point, Ning Wuque looked at Hua Youyue and said, “Moreover, I’m curious whether Taoist Yang Dingtian would also give his gift?”
Hearing this, Hua Youyue shook slightly.. She slowly raised her head to look at Ning Wuque, her eyes filled with a cold light!
