Seeing this, Xuan Nu feigned displeasure and said, "Yuan Shen Zi, am I that ugly?"
"That makes Yuan Shenzi so unwilling to look directly at Xuan Nu."
Yuan Zhexian did not answer, but continued to gaze at the four bronze statues.
Upon seeing this, Xuan Nu smiled slightly, then parted her lips and said, "If the Divine Child can answer one question for me, then I will tell him what these four bronze statues are made of!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian looked at Xuan Nu and asked without hesitation, "What is the problem?"
Then, the goddess asked in a sweet voice, "My son, do you think I am beautiful?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian was slightly taken aback and didn't know how to respond.
Then he muttered to himself, "The goddess hides her face with a veil all day long, so how can I know if she is beautiful?"
Upon hearing this, the Mystic Maiden smiled and said, "Oh~ is that so?"
After speaking, Xuan Nu removed her veil without hesitation.
At this moment, one could see that Xuan Nu had slender, willow-leaf-shaped phoenix eyebrows, a delicate and exquisite nose, and a cherry-like, tender and luscious mouth. Her face was like a finely sculpted oval, her skin was as white as snow, and she was as beautiful as a fairy, a beauty that could topple kingdoms.
At this moment, the Mystic Maiden spoke again and asked, "Divine Child, do you think the Mystic Maiden is beautiful now?"
When Yuan Zhexian saw the true face of Xuan Nu, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"What an absolutely stunning beauty!"
Then, Yuan Zhexian continued, "Among all the women I have ever seen, you are the second person whose beauty has amazed me."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Nu felt a surge of curiosity and quickly asked, "Oh? Divine Child, who was the first person to amaze you?"
Without hesitation, Yuan Zhen replied, "My heart belongs to the one I cherish!"
Xuan Nu's face instantly turned dejected, her originally bright eyes dimmed, and her expression became extremely complicated.
Clearly, Yuan Zhexian's answer had a tremendous impact on her, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.
However, the Mystic Maiden quickly regained her composure. She smiled slightly and said softly, "So the Divine Child already has someone he loves."
"Who is she?"
"How does she compare to the Mysterious Woman?"
Yuan Zhexian did not answer Xuan Nu's question, but changed the subject, pointing to the four bronze statues and asking, "Goddess, what are these four bronze statues made of?"
Seeing that Yuan Zhexian was unwilling to answer, Xuan Nu immediately replied, "According to the ancient records of my imperial clan, our ancestor once obtained a piece of black gold by chance."
"The properties and functions of that piece of black gold are unclear, but it is incredibly hard. Even when the progenitor used all his strength, he could only break a tiny bit into it."
"Subsequently, after the progenitor easily suppressed four powerful quasi-immortal emperors."
"A supreme immortal technique was used, and countless years were spent refining that mysterious piece of black gold."
"After a long period of time, the black gold was finally refined into four pieces."
"Then, the Ancestor absorbed the four pieces of black gold into the bodies of four Quasi-Immortal Emperors."
"After countless years of refinement, the Ancestor perfectly fused these four pieces of black gold with the bodies of four Quasi-Immortal Emperors, refining them into puppets."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian was filled with astonishment. He murmured softly, "Black Gold!"
The name reminded him of a type of black gold with celestial patterns that the system had mentioned.
Yuan Zhexian immediately murmured in his heart, "Master, Master."
The Supreme System's voice quickly appeared in Yuan Zhexian's mind: "I'm here, host."
Yuan Zhexian asked impatiently, "Tongzi, take a look and see if this is the Heavenly Pattern Black Gold you mentioned."
The Supreme System checked and then answered affirmatively, "That's right, host, the four bronze statues in front of you are made of Heavenly Pattern Black Gold."
With confirmation from the Supreme System, Yuan Zhexian's suspicions were confirmed.
He turned to the Mystic Maiden and said, "Now that you have obtained the Exquisite Immortal Scripture, let's go out!"
Xuan Nu nodded slightly in agreement, and then walked out of the Linglong Forbidden Land together with Yuan Zhe Xian.
The atmosphere inside the Linglong Palace was unusually heavy, with almost all the core figures of the Linglong Imperial Sect gathered there.
Even the Linglong Empress and the Qiankun Divine Child were in the hall.
The face of the Divine Child of Heaven and Earth was not only filled with frustration, but also with resentment and anger.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for the appearance of Yuan Zhexian and Xuan Nu.
Time passed second by second, and finally, to everyone's anticipation, the figures of Yuan Zhexian and Xuan Nu appeared at the palace entrance at the same time.
Upon seeing this, Xin Jinghan immediately turned her gaze to Yuan Zhexian, who also noticed Xin Jinghan's gaze and smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
Upon seeing this, Xin Jinghan's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile.
Immediately afterwards, Xin Jinghan announced loudly, "Everyone, after a fierce competition, the final winner of the battle for the Linglong Forbidden Land has been determined, and she is the Goddess!"
Before he finished speaking, a chorus of exclamations and discussions erupted throughout the hall.
Some people looked delighted, some were excited, and of course, some showed expressions of resentment and dejection.
However, Xin Jinghan did not give everyone much time to digest the news. He immediately continued, "Hereby, I solemnly announce that the next successor of the Linglong Imperial Sect will be the Goddess!"
These words struck like a thunderbolt in the hall, instantly igniting everyone's emotions.
There was joy, excitement, and for some, resentment and dejection.
Just then, Xin Jinghan spoke again, his voice echoing in the hall: "Since the Goddess has won this time, according to custom, as her companion, the Primordial Spirit Child can freely choose one treasure from the treasure vault of my Linglong Imperial Sect."
Just then, Yuan Zhexian slowly spoke up and said, "Seniors, I think we should forget about the treasures in the treasury, but I am quite interested in the four bronze statues in the Linglong Forbidden Land."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene erupted in an uproar, especially some of the powerful members of the Linglong Imperial Sect, who shouted loudly in protest.
"dream!"
"impossible!"
"That's utterly wishful thinking!"
Faced with the strong reaction from the crowd, Yuan Zhexian showed no surprise whatsoever; he simply watched them quietly.
At this moment, Xin Jinghan, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
She originally thought that Yuan Zhexian would pay more attention to the treasures in the treasury, since the things there were all rare and precious.
So she quickly asked, "Aren't you going to consider the contents of the treasure vault? Although my Linglong Imperial Clan's treasure vault can't compare to your Yuan Clan's treasure pavilion."
"But there are also many peerless items among them, including quasi-emperor artifacts and quasi-emperor scriptures."
As soon as Xin Jinghan finished speaking, the powerful figures from the Imperial Faction all cast strange glances at her.
Among them, an old woman sitting to her right spoke up directly: "Sect Master, aren't you being a little too lenient with the Yuan Clan?"
"Those Quasi-Immortal Emperor artifacts and Quasi-Immortal Emperor realms are the foundation of my Linglong Emperor Sect. How can we give them away to outsiders so easily?"
