After Liu Yanqing left, the Emperor looked at his secret treasure thoughtfully.
The effects of the Hundred Spirit Pearl and the Immortal Ancestor Token actually matched up.
He glanced back at the wooden box containing the Immortal Ancestor's token.
Could it be...?
Is this also part of Su Nian's conspiracy?
The emperor frowned deeply.
It shouldn't be that bad, right?
Liu Yanqing is an elder of Yuexia Pavilion, so he has no reason to side with Su Nian.
Unless... the two of them were already on the same team?
If he remembered correctly, Liu Yanqing and Su Nian had met before.
In the case where Su Nian was falsely accused, Liu Yanqing once brought his daughter to propose marriage.
However, Si Qiushan intercepted them halfway, and in the end, Si Qiushan borrowed Liu Yanqing's betrothal gifts and successfully got engaged to Su Nian.
Could it be... that the two of them had already colluded back then?
Impossible! At that time, Liu Yanqing and Su Nian were not familiar with each other, so it was impossible for the two of them to have conspired so early on.
He glanced down at the Hundred Spirit Pearl.
From any perspective, it seems unlikely that Liu Yanqing would have used this precious pearl to scheme against him.
But... what if?
What if this Hundred Spirit Pearl really was something Liu Yanqing used to scheme against him?
He examined the Hundred Spirit Pearl closely, but still couldn't figure it out.
After thinking for a moment, he summoned the Grand Elder of the Human Emperor's Palace.
After summoning the Grand Elder, the Emperor briefly explained to him what had just happened.
The Grand Elder pondered for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "Is Your Majesty worried... that this is a multi-pronged scheme?"
The Emperor nodded. "Indeed, the Second Elder of Quanxiu once reconciled with Su Nian. I was genuinely worried that she sent this token to make me lower my guard and fall into their trap."
The First Elder hesitated and asked, "But... Elder Liu doesn't seem to have any connection with Quan Xiu. Could it be that he's also on Su Nian's side?"
"It was precisely because his arrival made me feel suspicious that I called you here."
The Emperor presented the Hundred Spirit Pearl to the Grand Elder for him to see.
"Look at this thing, isn't it the real Hundred Spirit Pearl?"
The Grand Elder took the Hundred Spirit Pearl from the Human Emperor, examined it carefully for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly.
"Your Majesty, this Hundred Spirit Pearl is a peerless treasure that Elder Liu keeps secret. Although I am very knowledgeable, this is the first time I have ever seen it."
The Emperor nodded in understanding, pondering, "I see... If even you haven't seen it before, then the authenticity of this Hundred Spirit Pearl... is even more difficult to confirm."
"However..." the elder changed the subject, saying, "Although this peerless treasure has never been circulated in the world, if what Elder Liu said is true, then the extremely yin power hidden inside this treasure should be quite profound!"
The Emperor stroked his chin, sensing the spiritual energy within the Hundred Spirit Pearl, and discovered that it indeed possessed extremely profound Yin power, just as the Grand Elder had said.
A glint of greed flashed in the Grand Elder's eyes. He chuckled softly and said, "Your Majesty, you should be just one step away from becoming a half-step True Immortal, right?"
The Human Emperor sighed softly, "Yes, many years have passed since I ascended to the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. For many years I have been standing still, without making any progress. I don't know what conditions must be met to be able to pay homage to the Heavenly Gate."
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible," the elder said, his eyes darting around.
"Oh?" The Emperor couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are your thoughts?"
"The universe and all things emphasize the balance of Yin and Yang. According to ancient secret texts, there was once an ancient giant who shot down the sun and plucked the moon, mastering the power of the two extremes and ascending to the path of immortality. I wonder... is the last step you took to become an immortal because your body lacked some kind of extreme power?" the elder speculated.
The Human Emperor stroked his chin, frowning in deep thought. "The ultimate power should be the power of the origin of the Dao. Is this Yin-Yang power... really feasible?"
"It's never a bad thing to try, and besides..." The Grand Elder's gaze was fixed on the Hundred Spirit Pearl, his eyes burning as he said, "Isn't this one of the strongest Yin treasures in the world? A treasure of heaven and earth forged for a thousand years deep in an extremely cold cave, how powerful is the Yin energy contained within it? Moreover... you also visited the depths of the far south and far north many years ago, what kind of great power is hidden in the heart of these two poles... you should know better than me, right?"
These words made the emperor's heart tremble slightly.
He knows more about what lies deep within the far south and far north than most people in the world.
Although he did not experience the true immortal storm like Su Nian, he also felt the countless wisps of immortal energy enveloping the cold air.
The Hundred-Ling Pearl was nurtured in that environment for a hundred years.
If we're talking about the power of extreme cold, I'm afraid there really isn't any secret treasure that can rival the Hundred Spirit Pearl.
The Emperor looked at the Hundred Spirit Pearl and thought to himself.
At this moment, the Grand Elder pressed on, saying, "And the supreme treasure of the mortal realm that contains the power of extreme Yang... Your Majesty, hasn't that always been with you?"
The Emperor naturally understood what the Grand Elder was saying.
He took out the token that had been with him all his life from his waist.
Human Emperor's Token!
It is said that this Emperor's Token was made by an immortal from the celestial realm and is very spiritual.
Getting the Emperor's Token to recognize its owner is no easy feat. Back then, the Emperor himself had to go to great lengths to get the Emperor's Token to acknowledge him in order to take over the Emperor's Palace.
The Human Emperor's Token is also the key to opening the gates of the underworld.
Yes, the second of the three upper sects, the Underworld, does not exist in the Nine Provinces or the Demon Realm.
