Chapter 153, Resolution
Within the vast divine realm, a torrent of divine power surged forth in the Nine Nether Ocean, replenishing the energy consumed by Qing Sui's clone.
The half of Qing Sui's divine body that was annihilated is just a drop in the endless seawater of the Nine Nether Ocean.
Above the Nine Nether Ocean, the clones of the Divine Fiend and the Clear Fragment stood in mid-air, with a palm-sized short sword floating in front of them.
Netherworld Sword Seal!
A token from the Underworld!
Only by possessing it can one enter the Netherworld Palace, and thus have the chance to obtain a treasure comparable to a "Peak Domain Treasure," a "Peak Palace Treasure," or a "Peak Soul Treasure." This is a treasure that surpasses all other treasures that have appeared in the world so far; any powerful individual possessing one would be able to establish themselves in the vast universe!
Moreover, there are only twenty-four Netherworld Sword Seals, meaning that even top overlords have a chance to obtain that supreme treasure if they go in.
However, Ye Muxuan knew that once the news of the Netherworld Sword Seal got out, he would not be able to keep this token!
Because my own strength is too weak.
He was merely a common overlord, not qualified to possess the Netherworld Sword Seal! There were three human Venerables present at the time; if they had seen the Netherworld Sword Seal, they would have definitely reported it. Even if he had concealed it, the Venerables of the Nine Domains Alliance must have already spread the news, so he simply didn't hide it.
He had already made up his mind when he saw the Netherworld Sword Seal, and now he was just waiting to see who would come to inform him.
……
In a virtual universe, one of the planes is filled with endless darkness, with distant starlight twinkling in the distance.
A simple temple floats in mid-air.
Before the temple stood a long stone table, with stone chairs on either side. At the head of the table sat only one chair, occupied by a savage giant. From the chairs on either side of the table appeared figures seemingly out of thin air—the Lord of Chaos City and other cosmic lords.
A moment later, they all arrived.
Besides these cosmic lords, there was an extra seat at the very end of the left side, where the White Phoenix Palace Master sat.
"Everyone has arrived." The Giant Axe Founder sat at the head of the table. His words commanded the respect of all the universe lords, for he was currently the strongest being in the universe among the human race!
"Everyone's information is correct. Mu Xuan has obtained a Netherworld Sword Seal. The Netherworld Sword Seal is the most precious treasure since the opening of the Primordial Star, and it has great implications for the entire clan." The Giant Axe Founder looked at everyone and continued, "But this was obtained by Mu Xuan alone, and we cannot forcibly take it. So, let's all discuss what we should do."
The founder of the Giant Axe set the tone from the very first word... it cannot be demanded by force.
The Palace Master of White Phoenix Palace, sitting at the very end, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Netherworld Sword Seal is connected to the Netherworld Palace!" A cold voice rang out. "With Mu Xuan's current strength, there's no use in going in. Just make him hand it over, and the clan will compensate him."
"I agree!" A voice as fiery as flames rang out.
"Yes!" came the response from the Lord of the Universe.
"So what kind of compensation are you going to give? Don't forget, he earned this himself. Theoretically speaking, even if he wasted it, it's his own loss!" A gentle voice rang out.
The Palace Master of Baifeng Palace sat at the very end, remaining silent as she watched the universe lords who were speaking.
"Although the Netherworld Sword Seal is precious, it is merely a token of the Netherworld Palace. Taking it into the Netherworld Palace only gives you a chance to obtain a supreme treasure. However, once the opening time of the Netherworld Palace has passed, the token becomes useless. Therefore, I think that giving a high-level treasure as compensation would be sufficient."
"If one high-grade treasure isn't enough as compensation, then we'll give you a few more. From what I know, of the thirteen tokens that have appeared so far, only four are in the hands of top-tier universe overlords, and the rest are in the hands of universe lords. Even if Mu Xuan takes the tokens into the Netherworld Palace, the chances of him obtaining a treasure are slim; it's more likely that he'll just waste it."
"Even if it was a waste, it was his own choice, and he must be responsible for his actions!" It was still that gentle voice. "There is currently no evidence to prove that any of the strongest beings in the universe has obtained the token, so theoretically speaking, the probability of the giant axe obtaining the treasure by entering the Netherworld Palace with the Netherworld Sword Seal is the highest. However, we cannot ignore the compensation for Mu Xuan."
"I agree with Qingdong's opinion: let Mu Xuan hand over the Netherworld Sword Seal, and let the clan give him satisfactory compensation. However, we must be careful not to ignore his thoughts. With the talent Mu Xuan has shown so far, he is very likely to sit with us in the future. The Netherworld Sword Seal is important, but Mu Xuan himself is more important than a supreme treasure."
"Yes, I agree. We can have the Netherworld Sword Seal, but we can't let the relationship get strained. His talent is even better than that of the Flame Emperor back then. We don't want him to end up leaving the clan too, or we'll become a laughing stock in the universe."
"Mu Xuan's personality is different from Yan Di's. Yan Di is eccentric and has a violent temper. He would even turn against his own kind for the sake of a treasure. We are ashamed to associate with him! But Mu Xuan's personality doesn't seem to be like that now."
"Mu Xuan and Yan Di have different personalities."
"Mu Xuan and Yan Di have different personalities." The gentle voice rang out, "But don't forget, Mu Xuan's current talent surpasses that of Yan Di. Geniuses are always arrogant. The more talented someone is, the more confident they are in themselves. A genius without this kind of spirit is just a piece of trash and can never become a strong person! If this matter is not handled properly... it may cause his dissatisfaction, and it will be much more troublesome to repair the relationship then."
"That's right, it's his good nature, but that can't be the reason for the clan to take the Netherworld Sword Seal from him. It's more important to appease him."
"I agree with what Engineer Peng said."
Apart from the founder of the giant axe at the beginning and the White Phoenix Palace Master at the end, only the Chaos City Lord remained silent; all the other universe lords spoke.
Finally, a decision was made: the Netherworld Sword Seal must be brought out, but the compensation must also be adequate. We must not allow a crisis of trust to arise between Mu Xuan and his clan because of a mere token.
"Chaos, what do you think?" At the head of the table, the Giant Axe Founder looked at the Chaos City Lord beside him.
Among the dozen or so universe lords of the human race, the Lord of Chaos City is the eldest disciple of the Primordial Ancestor. He is in charge of the Initial Universe and runs the Virtual Universe Company. In terms of both strength and status, he is undoubtedly the second most powerful person in the human race, and his opinion is very important.
"In terms of strength, Mu Xuan is still a bit lacking. His original realm is only Immortal. Judging from his actions over the past tens of thousands of years on the Primordial Star, even with the help of a domain treasure, his avatar is only at the level of a cosmic overlord. If he enters the Netherworld Palace with this level of strength, even if he obtains the treasure, he won't be able to bring it out." The Chaos City Lord spoke slowly, his voice gentle yet calm, possessing a power that calmed and convinced people. "From the perspective of the clan, of course, the one with the giant axe has the highest probability of entering the Netherworld Palace with the token and obtaining the treasure."
"Therefore, my opinion is that regardless of whether we ultimately obtain the Netherworld Palace's treasure, as long as Mu Xuan is willing to hand over the Netherworld Sword Seal, the compensation we give him now should not be less. Of course, if the Giant Axe ultimately obtains that treasure, we can consider giving him even more compensation."
"it is good."
"I agree with Chaos's opinion."
I agree.
The lords of the universe all agreed with this opinion.
"Since that's the case..." The Giant Axe Founder looked at the White Phoenix Palace Master at the end of the stone table and said, "White Phoenix, go and talk to Mu Xuan and see what he thinks. If he needs any compensation, he can bring it up directly with Chaos. This matter will be handled by Chaos from now on."
"Alright." The Palace Master Bai Feng, sitting at the very end of the stone table, nodded expressionlessly.
