Chapter 230: Chapter 230: God's Brand_1
The imprint of the divine stirred.
A tremendous surge of lunar spiritual light converged, forming the illusory figure of a divine mansion.
This figure was shrouded in a hazy fog, its true form obscure and blurred. Yet, it was vaguely discernible as a woman, seated atop a divine throne, her gaze seemingly capable of piercing through countless dimensions of time and space.
As if she were the sovereign of the lunar palace.
Even though it was only an imprint, every movement manipulated the power of heaven and earth, as if she could break through the void and leave this world at any moment.
The power of spiritual beings is great and immeasurable; they have become true gods, able to create small worlds. It is said that there exist spiritual beings whose mana is extremely terrifying, even capable of creating an enormously vast world.
With the appearance of the spiritual being's illusory figure, the secret realm within released a more intense spray of lunar spiritual essence.
Between Chu Yuan's breaths, he sensed that these essences contained the Power of Laws, left by the existence of the Celestial God, causing his breath to quiver.
"This should be the imprint of the divinity left deliberately by the Celestial God. Every hundred years, it absorbs a large amount of power, manifesting its imprint which contains a powerful heritage and conceals traces of the Dao and the Laws," Chu Yuan remarked.
"Indeed, it is the power of the divine imprint. The power of a god is terrifying. Even if it's just the imprint left behind, it possesses infinite mana. It contains the will of a god.
My master once said, whoever can refine the divine imprint, has a high hope of becoming a true god in the future," Luo Yueying said, referring to her master as the previous Sect Master of the Conceal Moon Sect, a Void God King.
"Yet, even my master, the Void God King, could not refine the divine imprint. If a god does not acknowledge you, you cannot absorb it. Regardless of your overwhelming skills, it will destroy you," Luo Yueying added with a faint smile. "This is my first time seeing the divine imprint. Everyone only has one chance to refine the divine imprint, which is when they achieve the Void God state.
Success will bring about a leap in cultivation, with the potential to become a True God."
Despite being at the tenth level of the God Realm and being the Sect Master of the Conceal Moon Sect, Luo Yueying is extraordinarily young.
With only a few decades of cultivation, she is considered a prodigious talent within the Five Mysterious Domains and is bound to step into the Void God state, even demonstrating a small possibility to become a True God in the future.
A True God, a true divine mansion, is a powerful entity that doesn't exist even in the entire East Mysterious Domain.
At this moment, the hazy moonlight shone upon Luo Yueying's delicate face, causing Chu Yuan to be moved and say with a smile, "Given Sect Master Luo's talents, it is indeed possible for you to become a true god."
"I am grateful for the Martial Emperor's kind words."
Replied Luo Yueying.
The divine imprint faded away gradually after a few hours.
Experiencing the divine imprint of a Celestial God directly was of great benefit to Chu Yuan. It allowed him to gain a more intuitive understanding of the power of Celestial Gods - beings capable of creating matter out of the void, whose imprints can exist for tens of thousands of years unaffected.
"The secret realm will remain open for several months, but the power of the moon's light inside does not have much effect on those who have crossed into the God Realm. We will let disciples absorb it."
At this moment, beneath the moonlight within the Conceal Moon, Chu Yuan and Luo Yueying seemed to fly out from within the moon.
"The Conceal Moon event indeed does not disappoint, I did not make this trip in vain."
Chu Yuan and Luo Yueying found themselves inside a pavilion.
Due to the emergence of the Conceal Moon event, clouds rose and the whole Conceal Moon Sect turned into a fairyland.
"Sect Master, people from the Universe Business Association have arrived," said Zuo Xi.
"The Conceal Moon event is truly like the legendary fairyland of the lunar palace. Sect Master Luo, I trust my arrival is not disturbing," a voice of admiration came, followed by a woman's figure.
It was Ning Wan from the Universe Business Association who had arrived. She said with a smile, "It seems I am lucky this time to witness such a beautiful scene, and with the presence of the beautiful Sect Master Luo, I find myself a bit envious."
"These are welcomed guests, Sect Master Ning. Elder Zuo, serve some tea," replied Luo Yueying.
"It seems there is another guest here."
As Ning Wan entered the pavilion and saw Chu Yuan, she was taken aback and exclaimed, "Martial Emperor, it's you!"
"Yes, it's me," Chu Yuan said. "I too am one who cherishes natural beauty. It would be impossible for me to miss the lunar eclipse."
"I find the scene more beautiful with people," Ning Wan said intriguingly.
"Even the best views need a strikingly beautiful person like Sect Master Luo to truly appear beautiful," Chu Yuan said with a smile.
It seemed that Chu Yuan and Ning Wan knew each other quite well, Luo Yueying noted.
"Of course, we know each other well. The Martial Emperor is in fact a major customer of my business. I'm also curious about the relationship between you two. It seems you're not here just for the lunar eclipse, there seems to be more behind it," Ning Wan said with curiosity.
"Indeed. The sister of our emperor is a high-ranking Lord of the Lunar Clan. Sect Master Luo graciously helped her once, so I came specially to thank him. No secrets here," Chu Yuan related.
"I see, there is such a historical affiliation. It seems the relationship between Dawu and the Lunar Clan is indeed extraordinary," Ning Wan said, enlightened.
"It appears you have business, should I retreat?" asked Chu Yuan.
"Not at all, it's no secret. In fact, I am here at the invitation of Sect Master Luo," Ning Wan clarified.
Luo Yueying directed, "Recently, the business has a plentiful supply of King-grade God Pills which are in high demand. Other clans from the Imperial Dynasty also wish to do business with us due to this, but we are planning to finalize this order with Ning Wan."
What a rarity King-grade God Pills are!
Suddenly releasing a batch of them of course incites a buying frenzy.
If you're not competing to buy them, others will get them and grow stronger.
"Who should I sell these King-grade God Pills to, Emperor?" Ning Wan asked Chu Yuan, full of intrigue.
"In my view, since the branches managed by Ning Wan are in the Lunary Prefecture, it is only fair to favor the Lunar clan," said Chu Yuan. "After all, business is about benefits for both sides, I'm convinced Sect Master Luo will provide enough Divine Stones to avoid a loss for the business."
Through this comment, Chu Yuan was intentionally supporting the Lunar Clan.
"I had the same thought," Ning Wan nodded in agreement. "I can decide to set some King-grade God Pills aside at the normal price, especially for the Lunar Clan, no need to compete with other powers, priority supply."
"Is it that simple?" Zuo Xi asked, surprised.
Even Luo Yueying couldn't help but open her mouth in disbelief.
Because in this period of time, the business in Lunar Prefecture has suddenly released many more King-grade God Pills than usual. This has drawn attention from many other powers who wish to negotiate business with them.
Luo Yueying had already prepared to make large sacrifices just to fulfill the order for the King-grade God Pills because they could be converted to power.
Your adventure continues at m v|l-e'm,p| y- r
She had come prepared for a long negotiation, but she didn't expect Ning Wan to make a decision so swiftly.
Normally priced King-grade God Pills are hard to come by. At the moment, the price tends to run 20-30% higher.
She looked towards Chu Yuan curiously, her interest in him growing.
As someone of exceptional intelligence, it was clear to her that Ning Wan's attitude towards him was not ordinary. It was not simple business dealings, but rather she saw him as someone she could not afford to offend, and therefore needed to curry Chu Yuan's favour.
She saw that Ning Wan's favourable treatment towards the Lunar Clan was due to Chu Yuan's earlier comment.
Business people are very keen on profits.
Obviously, Chu Yuan offered Ning Wan an irresistible benefit.
"Sect Master Luo, don't be surprised. All those King-grade God Pills were refined within the Martial Emperor's dynasty. My business merely provided the materials and sold some with a modest profit. Otherwise, how could so many King-grade God Pills have appeared?" Ning Wan said, smiling.
Her words made all the senior members of the Lunar Clan present stare at Chu Yuan in astonishment.
