Chapter 554: What does it mean to be rich, Prying the stone open
“This matter is of great importance, all of you should understand.” The white-bearded old man spoke in a deep voice to the several ancient existences around him and carefully put away the jade jar as if it was extremely precious.
Immortal Spirits were hard to find, not to mention that the thing inside them was many times rarer than Immortal Spirits, so they couldn’t afford to be careless.
“Fellow Daoist, don’t worry, we all understand this matter.” The rest of the ancient existences took a deep breath, their faces also gradually gripped as they glanced at each other, and a.s.sured him.
According to the Heavenly Dao Oath, they naturally also had their share of Immortal Spirits from this deal. So the fewer people knew about this matter, the better. With that, they waved their hands to remove the formation that enveloped the surroundings.
Several people walked out of it, their faces had a different expression compared to before, with some unconcealed joy.
“Young master Changge, don’t worry, this matter is of great importance, we know. You can cut this piece of the Immortal Fetus.” A smile appeared on their faces as they spoke to Gu Changge in front of them, arching their hands.
As for how Gu Changge obtained so many Immortal Spirits, this was not something they needed to consider. Even though they knew that Gu Changge probably had more Immortal Spirits, they did not dare to have greedy thoughts.
Looking at this scene, everyone outside was shocked, puzzled, and curious about what was in that jade jar. But they could only hold down the curious emotions in their heart, not daring to ask more questions.
After all, every Enlightened being in front of them was an existence that could wipe them out millions of times with the snap of a finger. If it was something they should know, they would naturally tell them.
Since it was not something they should know, if they found out, it was possible that they would also cause the trouble of killing themselves. But there was one thing everyone was sure of, and that was, the thing in the jade jar was absolutely more precious than the so-called Immortal Spirit.
Otherwise, it was impossible to make a group of ancient existences change expression and reveal such a look.
“This can’t be… How did Gu Changge possess something that was more precious than one hundred Immortal Spirits! How was he able to get these so easily…”
A strong sense of resignation rose in Jiang Chen’s heart, wanting to see Gu Changge getting disgraced in public, but things did not unfold as he had hoped. One hundred Immortal Spirits were not difficult for Gu Changge to take out, and what he took out was clearly more precious than Immortal Spirits. This caused Jiang Chen to feel a strong jealousy in his heart while being resentful.
“Something more precious than Immortal Spirits?”
The Heavenly Phoenix Maiden, the Six Crown King, the Heavenly Demon Monarch, and a bunch of other young supreme beings all breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts setting off waves of shock.
The shock that Gu Changge brought them today was too great. They thought that even Gu Changge would find it hard to take out a hundred Immortal Spirits, but instead, he lightly took out something else that was even more precious than Immortal Spirits.
What was that? Their hearts were incomparably curious. No matter what, it definitely had something to do with the Immortal Dao.
“Since that’s the case, let’s start cutting.”
Gu Changge didn’t care about the shocked expressions of the people around him and casually spoke to the few stone-cutting masters who were still in a daze not far away.
“Yes… Yes, yes…”
Hearing these words, these few stone-cutting masters came back to their senses and uttered in shock, trembling, as if their hands and feet had become incompetent. They had been prying open origin stones for a lifetime, but it was the first time they had the chance to cut the seven Divine Stones.
If this matter was pa.s.sed on, even their children and grandchildren would live with glory and even be pa.s.sed on for thousands of years. This made them feel that the stone knife in their hands had become heavy, and the palms of their hands were full of cold sweat.
After all, this was the most valuable of the seven Divine Stones, the Immortal Fetus. Just the price of a piece of tr.i.m.m.i.n.g was enough to make them despair and tremble. Now that it was in front of them for them to cut, they didn’t even dare to do it.
“I really want to cut this Immortal Fetus! It’s worth coming to Kunwu City this time, to see the Seven Great Divine Stones being cut, it’s worth it for the old man’s lifetime.”
“Yes, I really didn’t expect to really see this Immortal Fetus being cut in my lifetime.”
Many from the older generation were so excited that their faces turned red and their bodies trembled, more excited than if they were going to cut the stone themselves.
“As expected of Young Master Changge, he actually bought this Immortal Fetus, this is definitely a big event that will stir the Upper Realm!”
“With so many resources, I feel like he could totally buy an Immortal sect! I can’t imagine at all, how on earth can a person have that much money.”
“What do you mean by rich and generous? This is wealthy and generous, he bought this Immortal Fetus without even blinking…”
Many young people were also in high spirits, their hearts surging as they stared at the slender and upright figure in front of them with undisguised reverence and fire in their eyes.
Most of the heavenly girls also could not turn their eyes to look away from Gu Changge, with admiration and reverence, they simply wanted to fall back on him.
“Young Master Changge, don’t worry about cutting the stone, the Heaven and Earth here have been sealed by us. If the thing in the Immortal Fetus tries to escape, we can immediately trap it down.”
The white-bearded old man and the others made a move, waving their hands and snapping their fingers to strike out the runes, enveloping heaven and earth here.
The terrifying Dao-forming weapon fluctuation diffused into their surroundings, like the twilight drums and morning bells pressed on everyone’s heart. A formation pattern appeared in the sky, flickering with brilliant light with tens of millions of divine chains formed by laws hanging down like a waterfall.
The revealing corners of it emitted a majestic ancient and heavy enough vast pressure to crush all creatures. Gu Changge nodded slightly, indicating that several stone-cutting masters needed not to be nervous, they just had to cut directly.
Boom!
This place erupted with an unimaginable commotion, the sound of people boiling, incomparably noisy. Almost instantly, the area around the market was surrounded by a flood of cultivators.
In the distance there were more divine lights rushing toward this place, all heard the news that Gu Changge had bought the Immortal Fetus at a large price and was going to cut it open, intending to see the spectacle.
The Immortal Fetus was wrapped in layers of immortal mist, dazzled with haze, and quietly located in the midst of many immortal materials. There were many visions in the manifestation mixed with the wisps of Dao rhyme and spirituality surging toward it. They even formed small vortexes.
Seemingly sensing its demise, intense immortal light filled with Dao rhyme diffused out from it.
“Young Master Changge, don’t worry, we will be careful to cut the stone and will never damage a single cent.”
Several old men responsible for cutting the stone also looked gradually calm as they took a deep breath and began to show their skills. A few silver blades descended, a large number of stone chips scattered around. Everyone stared at all of this with unblinking eyes, not daring to miss the slightest detail.
Click!
With the sound of cutting stone, everyone was shaken, the surroundings were quiet, and no one spoke again and concentrated on watching. The stone chips rustled and fell, and several stone cutters were sweating profusely as they carefully sliced off the layers of stone scale from the surface of the Divine Stone.
Everyone heard a wonderful Dao sound resounding in the void. It was as if an immortal was sitting in this Immortal Fetus, chanting the immortal chant for everyone.
Heaven and Earth were filled with visions, golden lotuses descended from the sky, clear springs gushed from the earth, and a piece of crystal immortal light turned into flower petals, floating down around the Immortal Fetus with extreme beauty.
“It’s definitely an immortal treasure!”
“It contains unimaginable value!”
A Great sect master breathed heavily, his gaze could not hide the shock, feeling that his cultivation bottleneck was even showing signs of loosening at this moment.
The Dao-forming tools that were hanging around were also trembling slightly at this moment with ripples diffusing down, resounding with a vast Dao sound that resonated throughout the heavens.
