“Neo-Dawn Heavenly-Origin Paste?!”
A paste?! Amongst the four types of products-pills, elixirs, pellets, and paste-pastes were themost undervalued type, with the lowest prices relative to their grade and tier. Furthermore,pastes were the easiest to mass-produce alongside elixirs due to their substance composition.
Not a single person here thought that theproduct derived from the Heaven Relic wouldgenerate a paste! The long-time, highlyreputable Alchemists such as Evergod, Tian Dingjian-the Sky Zenith Alchemic Saint, and San Luoyang were caught off-guard by Tian Xiaocheng’s announcement.
The World of Eden contained numerous organizations, forces, and individual experts throughout, all reacting and observing with the utmost visual quality and the best audience experience they could, and amongst them was a young, gorgeous woman with luscious, short, and wavy red hair styled in a curly bob cut that accentuated her slender cheekbones and thin, soft lips.
She stood beside a woman that almost lookedlike her twin except for her long-styled hair. The woman was older with a mature charm and slightly taller, setting them further apart. Additionally, that woman’s eyes contained a type of serenity forged by recent hardships, successes, and realizations.
They were Tang Xingyun and her mother, Tang Baibai! They were gathered together alongside the other exiled members of the Tang Clan. At least those still alive after experiencing a few torturous decades of torment and servitude. After the Pure Dream Liquid, their traumatic experiences lessened slightly.
While the group was rowdy with speculative discussion and shocked reactions. Tang Xingyun looked at her mother with pleading eyes. However, her mother ignored her outright, only staring at Tian Xiaocheng’s astonishing existence as she took the spotlight.
Tang Xingyun’s pouted her lips slightly, “Mother, can I just visit him for a moment?”
“Visit your fiancé?” Tang Baibai asked rhetorically. Tang Xingyun’s expression instantly changed as her eyes dimmed. Her fiancé was, of course, none other than Tian Yinwu, but she clearly didn’t mean him. She wanted to meet her true lover-Lin Ming.
Tang Baibai slowly grew frustrated after hearing this request for the umpteenth time. “You’re already lucky that I requested Ascendant Emperor Wei to seal off this area to only Tang Clan members, and yet you wish to go and reveal yourself of your own accord? If you do and someone from the Imperial Clan notices you, what will you do? Or, for that matter, anyone? Hm?”
“…” Tang Xingyun’s fists clenched tightly as she lowered her head. For some odd reason, her Primal Yin concealment method was ineffectivein the World of Eden. She was fully exposed here, so she had to remain put. If she visited Lin Ming and he was surrounded by hundreds ofcultivators, her ruined chastity would become a hot topic for all in the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region, especially given Tian Yinwu’s fame.
This wasn’t exclusive to her; the active appearance modifications, cultivation concealment, and other foreignly applied changes to oneself weren’t applied to one’s Avatar in the World of Eden. In the dark corner of the World of Eden, unseen due to being overshadowed, countless scandals were revealed that would stir the world in the coming future.
Tang Baibai sighed in her heart; after seeing her daughter’s sullen mood and expression, her heart softened. While she was heartless to even her sister, when it came to her flesh and blood born from her womb, there was very little she would not sacrifice tor her happiness. Unfortunately, her actions had led to them being in a precarious position.
She wasn’t certain that Wei Wuyin would protect them if this were exposed. While he might not fear the Imperial Clan openly, whether that was genuine was up to anyone’s guess. The Aeternal Sky Divine Emperor wasn’t regarded as the #1 expert in the world for no reason!
“It I find an opportunity, I’ll ask Ascendant Emperor Wei to allow you two to meet privately. After all, the World of Eden is aunique Spiritual Network World.” The mother ultimately compromised, and the daughter’s eyes brightened with joy. “At the very least, you’vegiven birth to an Origin Spirit of Cultivation! So your situation is worth it.”
The Origin Spirit of Cultivation was simply a Spirit of Cultivation at the Origin State, the advanced form of the Mortal State. After theHeaven Relic was revealed to the world, information about it was widely spread as well, especially the point where having it practicallyensured one would become an Ascended being!
Tang Xingyun’s smile widened proudly; her unexpected union with Lin Ming had birthed an Origin State thanks to a Heaven Relic. Thislegendary state of the cultivation world was desired by countless experts, especially Earthly Saints! With it, her control of Mana, her senses toward the Mystic Dao, and her chances of becoming an Ascended being were nearly absolute! During these last few decades, hercultivation had been growing by leaps and bounds, and she thoroughly became aware of the outstanding benefits of an Origin State.
She would soon become a true elite and then control her own destiny, including who she wished to marry one day. No longer will shehave to hide as long as she diligently cultivated and kept her head down. Moreover, Lin Ming sacrificed a lot to receive it as well. They were both on the path of genuine experts! They may even become an unrivaled couple in the future, as famous and legendary as immortals, with their union celebrated by the entire Grand Cyclic Stellar Region.
She had long been dreaming of the day when the Imperial Clan would lower its head to her. The day she would no longer be fearful or tethered by promises of the past generation.
Tang Baibai saw her daughter’s hopeful expression and couldn’t help but softly caress her head of luscious hair lovingly. Hopefully, withPhoenix Empress Bai’s kindness, her daughter’s future would certainly be greater than her own, with a complete legacy to follow.
Empress Xiaocheng took a brief pause, letting everyone settle, drumming up anticipation, expectations, and criticism from experts andelites, all of which were brought to the stage. Unfortunately, the Everlore Association seemed to have learned its lesson and didn’t dare make any brainless comments on the products.
“Wouldn’t a paste be a waste of the Heaven Relic’s potential?!”
“Maybe we should’ve left the Heaven Relic in the two Alchemic Saints’ hands…”
“Heavenly-Origin? What a high-sounding name! It better live up to its expectations.”
“It seems the Everlore Association was waiting for this moment! I wonder if they’ll announce their product in development after the pastedisappoints. They’re a little sinister, but I like it!”
Comments like these flew, heard by the ears of quintillions. While some comments were seeking a hold-off for opinions, few had suchrestraint, judging instantly because they were seeking to rile up the hype and drama of the situation.
This product was bound to be contended with by the Everlore Association, and it was going to be another Battlefield!
Without even doing anything, the Everlore Association was pushed into an imaginary ringwith Wei Wuyin regarding the Heaven Relic’s product potential. Countless gazes flitted from the stage to the Everlore Association’s area in the hopes of seeing their reactions. Moreover, they kept sending praise and words of confidence their way, clearly with the intent for them to hear.
The expressions of some of the Everlore Association’s alchemists grew increasingly smug and pridetul. Who didn’t know that Evergod had two Heaven Relics in his possession? It wasn’t only outsiders that had expectations; the members of the association were equally as expectant, if not more. After suffering continuous setbacks, this was a sight they wanted to see!
San Yongli’s eyes, which were like treasured rubies, were glacial and teeming with restrained rage. Evergod had stolen her Heavenly World Core! She had a heap of resentment, not just toward Evergod but her adopted father as well, who vouched for him and was duped. More frustrating than that, they weren’t even compensated! Everyone knew the value of a Heaven Relic was worth literal starfields.
The Imperial Advisor herself, one of the top appraisers, had valued it at 530,000 Mystic Earth Stones!
She had risked her life and planned for the Heavenly World Core! How could she not be livid? Who wouldn’t?!
Ever since she got another chance at life, it was almost exclusively her who stole or seized others’ fortunes. She restrained the urge to gnash her teeth at Evergod or even look his way. At this point, she wasn’t sure if she could hold in her killing intent.
“…” San Luoyang softly sighed. If San Yongli knew the truth…
Evergod’s expression was unaffected by the rowdy comments deliberately sent his way. To him, this was all Wei Wuyin’s antics. A hidden play to harm the Everlore Association’s reputation further or to get a response from him, and he refused to play into it in any way. Afterall, Wei Wuyin had all three Heaven Relics in his possession!
Moreover, the second three-week break had come with another jade box of resources that belonged to the Everlore Vault! Alongside which contained another letter, and while he was outwardly indifferent, his heart was pumping with the anger of a thousand gods. Within the palm of his real body were the remnant ashes of a letter, it had once said:
“To the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo’s greatest benefactor, without your gracious personal assistance, none of this would’ve been possible – Ascendant Emperor Wei.
Evergod’s emotions were on the verge of complete eruption. The underlying meaning behind these words was so clear that it could hurt the soul.
Unfortunately, the rest of the world was only cheering for his future showing, unaware of the pain he felt.
“You may be wondering what this new tier is,” Tian Xiaocheng seized control of the World of Eden once more after letting it deliberately simmer. Everyone’s attention was almost instantly brought back to her. They had been so absorbed in the paste that they had practically not considered the new tier!
“I’d like to say this product’s tier isn’t official by any means, merely a way to add distinction due to its astonishing usage of the Heaven Relic’s quintessential energy! A type of energy that goes far beyond the Earthly Saint stage of the Mystic Ascendant Realm! By all rights, it’s definitely within the ‘pinnacle-tier’.” Her explanation served to allow some hype to be cut off as expectations were pushed to reasonable levels.
What if Wei Wuyin actually established a new tier recognized by the heavens? At that point, it was best for the Everlore Association to simply bow their heads and accept their fates.
“The Neo-Dawn Heavenly-Origin Paste is the first Exceed-tier product of the market!” She announced.
Exceed!
“Due to its properties, it ‘exceeds’ the standards of a Mortal Tier product by default, transcending conventional beliefs in many ways, and carries characteristics of a Transcendent- quality product without being at the transcendent level!”
“What?!” San Luoyang and countless other elite experts, alchemists, and cultivators exclaimed abruptly.
“It’s hard to explain without showing, so allow me.” Tian Xiaocheng smiled, knowing that the keen individuals who realized her words’ implications were hooked. For some reason, being able to seize their attention and interest and control the pace of this reveal gave her a sense of extreme power and satisfaction. At first, she hated it, but now she was reveling in this unique experience.
When could anyone ever host a grand expo with quintillions in numbers, all looking expectantly and listening to every word?
Tian Xiaocheng lifted the jade box’s lid, and explosively, a gush of aura surged out, disturbing the entire world. This was not the sixth fortune, and many felt overwhelmed almost instantly!
A small bowl of thick, soft, and moist substance of a beige and golden color was revealed! The paste itself was beige, while the golden color came from animated objects soaring within, upon, and throughout the paste in a strange, unfathomable manner.
From an area of the World of Eden, the Sky Zenith Alchemic Saint’s pupils constricted violently.
“Mystic Rune Fragments!” She whispered from her lips, and her voice spread out loudly throughout the World of Eden, containing every emotion that she felt at that moment. The hearts of countless cultivators shook!
Why?!
WHY?!
BECAUSE THEY COULD SEE IT!
THEY COULD SEE!!
For the first time in their lives, Quintillions of Mortals could see Mystic Rune Fragments!!!
