Chapter 209 Dragon Soul Stone Carving
As they were talking, Marquis Dingyuan had already ordered his men to bring up the first reward.
It was an enormous cauldron, and it took fifteen burly strongmen to carry it to the front of the crowd.
"So that's what it is!" Xiang Boyue, sitting next to Lin Fei, sneered when he saw the large cauldron. "Liu Xun is quite generous, actually bringing this out. Is it to win people's hearts?"
Emperor Liu Xun of Han seemed to have heard Xiang Boyue's words, glancing at him subtly. He smiled slightly, then addressed the crowd, saying, "This cauldron is called the 'Six Ding Six Jia Cauldron,' also known as the 'Overlord Cauldron.' Inside the cauldron is recorded the divine skill that directly points to the Dharma Aspect Realm—the Ding Jia Mountain Moving Technique. In the ancient times, the Overlord of the Middle Ages lifted this cauldron and used it as a weapon to defeat six Celestial Realm experts, achieving unparalleled feats. This Overlord Cauldron is the first gift I have prepared for you all."
The Dingjia Mountain Moving Technique is a cultivation method that can be practiced up to the third level of the Dharma Aspect realm. By cultivating the Dharma Aspect of a Mountain Moving Warrior, one can move mountains and fill seas with every gesture, possessing boundless power.
Legend has it that the Dingjia Mountain Moving Technique was originally a top-tier martial art at the Celestial Realm level. However, it was erased by the ancient overlord who destroyed the later Celestial Realm techniques. Therefore, what is recorded in the cauldron now is only the cultivation method for reaching the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.
For ordinary sect disciples, this is already an extremely rare treasure. However, for top-tier experts at the Acupoint Realm, such a treasure is not enough to tempt them.
Let alone Qin Zhongshan, Xue Bahuang, Xiang Boyue, and others, even Lin Fei, who among them didn't cultivate a fundamental technique that directly points to the realm of the Celestial Being? Although the Dingjia Mountain Moving Technique is good, it's not enough to tempt them.
However, this is only the first treasure.
Emperor Liu Xun of Han flipped his hand, and a bead the size of a fist appeared in his palm. The bead was covered with a layer of water vapor, and it shimmered with a faint, misty light, making it look quite extraordinary.
"Huh, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl?" Just then, the monk from Leiyin Temple who had been staring at Lin Fei seemed to have seen some extraordinary treasure. For the first time, he shifted his gaze from Lin Fei to the pearl.
Emperor Liu Xun of the Han Dynasty held the fist-sized bead and said to the crowd, "This bead is called the 'Sea-Stabilizing Pearl,' a treasure passed down from ancient times."
Among the crowd, some who knew their stuff showed surprise upon hearing the name "Sea-Stabilizing Pearl." Many others, however, looked completely bewildered, having no idea what this treasure was.
Emperor Liu Xun of Han smiled slightly, and the light of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl in his hand flashed. A beam of light shot out from the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, forming a vortex with a strange and powerful suction force, as if it wanted to suck people in alive.
Liu Xun then explained to everyone, "Within this Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, there is a world of its own. It can be used to fight enemies and suck them into the small world of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl."
At this point, Liu Xun smiled slightly: "Of course, the most powerful aspect of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is not in combat. The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl's microcosm is extremely special; it can perfectly merge with the cultivator's own microcosm. When a cultivator breaks through to the Celestial Realm, if they use the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to construct their own microcosm, they can increase their success rate by 30%!"
Advancing from the Dharma Aspect Realm to the Celestial Human Realm is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge; the chances of success are definitely no greater than Liu Buhui's meteoric rise.
A 30% increase in the success rate is already quite astonishing.
If the Six Ding Six Jia Cauldrons could only attract the attention of ordinary acupoint masters, and held little appeal for top-tier acupoint masters, then the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl now holds immense attraction even for the top ten experts on the Wind and Cloud Ranking.
The second treasure was already so extraordinary that everyone was eager to know what the third treasure Liu Xun had prepared was.
Seeing the expectant looks on everyone's faces, Emperor Liu Xun of Han smiled slightly and put away the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. He clapped his hands, and several palace servants led over a beautiful woman dressed in magnificent robes.
"Greetings, Father Emperor!" The woman walked up to Emperor Liu Xun of Han and gave a graceful bow.
"Haha, my good daughter, come here." Liu Xun laughed and took the girl's hand, saying to everyone, "She is my precious daughter, Princess Pingyang!"
At this point, everyone seemed to understand what the third treasure Emperor Liu Xun of Han had prepared for them was.
Emperor Liu Xun of Han, beaming with joy, addressed everyone in a loud voice: "This precious jewel of mine is far more valuable than the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl. I will select the most outstanding person from among the most remarkable young people of you to be the consort of Northern Han, my son-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. While the Northern Han prince consort's status was undeniably prestigious, none of them were without considerable standing. To them, the Northern Han prince consort held far less appeal than the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, or even the Six Ding Six Jia Cauldron.
Not to mention, many of these people are monks or Taoist priests, who would never become the consorts of the Northern Han. Otherwise, they would surely be expelled from their sects like Lin Fei.
However, Emperor Liu Xun of Han regarded the position of imperial son-in-law as his last and most important treasure. No one believed that it was simply a matter of becoming the imperial son-in-law of the Northern Han Dynasty. There must be more to it than meets the eye, so no one spoke up or asked any questions.
Emperor Liu Xun of Han clearly did not intend to explain everything clearly. He simply said to everyone, "Of course, it won't be so simple for you to take these three treasures from here. Only the most outstanding and exceptional talents can take these three treasures from me!"
"Lord Dingyuan, bring up the Dragon Soul Stone Carving!" Liu Xun ordered, and the Lord Dingyuan immediately commanded his men to bring up the Dragon Soul Stone Carving.
The so-called Dragon Soul Stone Carving is a huge stone tablet, more than three people tall, on which is carved a lifelike image of a ferocious red dragon.
Lin Fei noticed that this Dragon Soul Stone Carving was extremely similar to the Dragon Slaying Stele on the Dragon Slaying Crossing. Both the shape and the aura emanating from it were quite similar, as if they came from the same source.
The only difference is that the stone tablet at the Dragon-Slaying Ferry is inscribed with the two characters "Slaying Dragon".
The dragon soul stone carving depicts a lifelike image of a red dragon.
