One of the elders present frowned, clearly not convinced by Chu Anping's words. He questioned him, "But Elder Chu, you're telling us this is a peerless secret manual based solely on these seemingly disorganized words?"
We have paid such a huge price, is it just to read these seemingly disordered words? Aren’t you fooling us? "
Chu Anping did not show any anger. On the contrary, he seemed very calm and responded in a leisurely manner:
"Respected elder of the Feiyang Sect, if you feel that the Supreme Card you spent ten million silver on doesn't meet your expectations, then I am fully willing to accompany you down the mountain immediately and handle the card return procedures for you. However, once you choose to return this Supreme Card, you will not be able to apply for another one, and you will also lose the opportunity to set foot on Chuitai Mountain again and view this peerless secret manual."
These words caused the representatives of the nine forces present to fall silent for a moment. They looked at each other and weighed the pros and cons in their hearts.
Meanwhile, Empress Canglan and her three companions remained silent. In reality, Empress Canglan had come to Wei with her own agenda. Even if these secret manuals were worthless, she still had to present the ten million silver coins to the Wei royal family as a token of her sincerity and respect.
Empress Canglan's gaze was profound. She spoke softly, "In any case, since you've already set foot here, you should investigate thoroughly. After all, the ten million silver you paid hasn't been fully deducted. The entrance fee to Chuitai Mountain alone is only a hundred thousand silver."
Even if these manuals aren't truly rare, you can still take the remaining 9.9 million silver to the Divine Weapon Pavilion and bid for those refined weapons. From any perspective, this deal is a guaranteed win for you."
After listening to the words of Queen Canglan, these elders from various forces silently made some calculations in their hearts and found that it was indeed as she said.
As long as they could return to their own sect with a hundred-refined weapon, the deal wouldn't be considered a loss. Furthermore, even their own sect leader wouldn't blame them for spending ten million taels of silver; after all, they brought back a priceless treasure.
The elder of Feiyang Sect said in a respectful yet somewhat questioning tone, "Please don't misunderstand, Elder Chu. We absolutely do not doubt the value of the secret book itself. We just find it unbelievable that an ordinary person in his twenties could write such a profound and rich martial arts experience.
After all, any faction that obtains such a precious, peerless secret manual will carefully conceal it, fearing it will be discovered by outsiders. Yet, you are displaying it so ostentatiously, which truly makes people puzzled and uneasy."
At this time, Chu Yuanwu, who was leisurely sipping tea upstairs, slowly put down the teacup in his hand. His steady and powerful voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present through the attic:
"I completely understand your concerns. I strongly disagree with your claim that our Wei Emperor is an ordinary person. It's ridiculous to assume that others can't do what you can't do yourself.
His Majesty also decided to make this secret book public for a far-reaching reason. He hopes that in this way, he can break the long-standing closedness and conservatism of the martial arts community, promote exchanges and cooperation among various factions, and jointly promote the advancement of martial arts.
Imagine if this secret book is truly a peerless secret book, possessing inestimable value, then why would the Wei royal family be afraid to reveal it? Do you think the Wei royal family can't keep such a peerless secret book?"
Like Chu Anping, Chu Yuanwu also established the character of Chu Fan, the emperor of Wei. After all, we have already brought out the real secret book, and you are still questioning it here, which is simply an insult to the royal family of Wei.
We in the Wei Kingdom have truly brought out our peerless secret manuals for people to see, rather than hiding them like some other factions. So, is such a heart worthy of the respect of warriors?
They heard the voice before seeing the person. At this moment, Empress Canglan and everyone else present realized that this was the voice of Chu Yuanwu, the ancestor of the Wei royal family, a master-level figure at the pinnacle of martial arts.
The Queen Canglan and everyone present immediately bowed respectfully and said in unison, "We pay our respects to Grandmaster Chu."
Then, Chu Yuanwu's voice slowly came from the second floor, with unquestionable majesty: "The wisdom of His Majesty, the Emperor of Wei, is unfathomable, and is absolutely beyond the comprehension of mere mortals like you. Even an ancestor like me willingly accepts His Majesty's canonization. Do you think I am blindly following him?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the elder of Feiyang Sect immediately knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake with deep fear and trepidation: "It was my fault for being blind and making presumptuous assumptions. I hope Master Chu will be magnanimous and not blame me."
He was just a first-grade warrior. If he really angered Chu Yuanwu, Chu Yuanwu could easily kill him here.
Chu Yuanwu did not intend to delve into his faults, but continued calmly, "Everyone, stand up. I don't mean to blame you. I just hope you won't look at our Majesty with your eyes that have lost their judgment.
Now, our Wei's Majesty has become a warrior of the highest rank. You must not really think that he is just an ordinary mortal."
Empress Canglan and the others were once again deeply shocked by this sudden news. It was a well-known fact that the Emperor of Wei had no talent for cultivation. Now Chu Yuanwu actually claimed that the Emperor had reached the rank of a rank. This momentarily left them in disbelief, and they even wondered if they had misheard.
Empress Canglan asked with a tone filled with curiosity and doubt: "Master Chu, could you explain whether there was any error when testing martial talent? Because according to common sense, how could an ordinary person with no martial talent at all become a mid-level martial artist through training?"
Chu Yuanwu smiled slightly and replied in a slightly mysterious tone, "It is absolutely true that our Emperor Wei did not have any talent for martial arts. However, I am not entirely sure how His Majesty cultivated to become a qualified martial artist.
After all, Your Majesty was able to create such a miracle as the peerless secret manual, so compiling a secret manual that can enable ordinary people to cultivate into warriors should not be a difficult task for Your Majesty.
