“You also know that Mingzhu is a divine messenger, right?” After Xiao Wenbing nodded, the Seven-Colored Winged King continued, “Mingzhu offered this item to the deity behind him. But the deity said that there was a mark of life energy inside.”
She paused, looking at Xiao Wenbing's ever-changing expression, and carefully said, "In this world, only the Origin Crystal can possess life energy. That's why that deity asked Mingzhu to return this treasure and try to ask the deity behind you for an Origin Crystal."
Xiao Wenbing nodded and smiled bitterly, finally realizing that he had indeed leaked the secret.
When he copied it, he had already infused his own mutated abilities into the tortoise shell. The benefit of doing so was that the tortoise shell now possessed life energy, allowing it to cultivate into a god.
Immortals might find this difficult to detect, but for deities, it is very easy to discern.
After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Wenbing asked, "Are you saying you want something from the deity behind me?"
"Yes, but it's just a plea for one; we don't necessarily expect to receive it," the Seven-Colored Winged King quickly explained. Clearly, they were extremely wary of the fictitious deity behind Xiao Wenbing who could condense primordial crystals.
Xiao Wenbing finally felt relieved. Since those gods were like this...
Then I can truly rest assured.
Whether it's the King of Food or the Great Serpent Supreme, they all know that there is a deity behind them, and they also know that it is the Treasure God.
However, they knew nothing about the Treasure God's background. In their view, Xiao Wenbing's ability to produce so many Origin Crystals was all thanks to the Treasure God.
The only people who knew about this were Zha and the two women, Zhang and Feng, and Xiao Wenbing trusted them completely.
After making a gesture, Elder Yan and the others hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed the order and withdrew.
"Seven-Colored Supreme, to be honest," Xiao Wenbing cleared his throat and said, "I have Origin Crystals here, and a lot of them. That's because my master is currently in seclusion, so he left behind a large pile. If you want them, we can actually discuss it."
A hint of barely suppressed joy flashed across the Seven-Colored Winged King's face. However, having been a spirit for many years, she naturally knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch. So, after a moment of excitement, she immediately asked, "Does Fellow Immortal Xiao have any instructions for me to do?"
Xiao Wenbing smiled slightly; talking to intelligent people is simple.
"It's nothing serious, but Keris sent us a message by flying sword, inviting us to a gathering of divine agents. So I wanted to ask if the Seven-Colored Supreme would like to go as well?"
The Seven-Colored Winged King smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "I have not yet comprehended the power of the gods, nor am I a divine messenger, so naturally I cannot go."
"Really?" Xiao Wenbing asked in surprise, "Even with the relationship between the Seven-Colored Supreme and Kairis, they couldn't participate?"
The Seven-Colored Winged King's face darkened, and he said, "In that gathering, everyone was associated with the gods. No matter how high our cultivation is, we immortals are just a bunch of insignificant little insects in the eyes of these gods. Although Sister Kairis has friends all over the world, she doesn't dare to break the rules set by the gods."
Xiao Wenbing looked at her silently, then suddenly asked, "Do you want to go?"
The Seven-Colored Winged King said sadly, "Of course I want to..." She paused, then said, "Why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing, but if you want to go, we can help you out."
The Seven-Colored Winged King's gaze swept over Xiao Wenbing and the others. She could naturally sense the faint but real divine power emanating from them.
She absolutely believed Xiao Wenbing's words. Since so many people could comprehend the power of the gods, adding her to the list would be no problem at all.
The thought of attending a gathering related to the gods immediately excited the Seven-Colored Winged King.
After careful consideration, she shook her head regretfully and said, "No need. If Qicai cannot comprehend the power of the gods, even if she goes, it may not be a good thing." Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Xiao Wenbing, and she slowly said, "If Qicai is fortunate enough to comprehend the power of the gods in the future, she will naturally go to broaden her horizons."
"Alright." Xiao Wenbing stopped insisting and instead flipped his wrist, taking out a crystal-clear little bead, which he readily tossed to the Seven-Colored Wing King, saying, "This is the Origin Crystal, here you go."
Holding the primordial crystal in outstretched hands, the way he handled it so carefully, as if he were holding the entire world, gave off a truly trembling feeling.
Blinking his beautiful big eyes twice, the Seven-Colored Winged King still couldn't believe that he had obtained a Primal Crystal so easily.
She murmured, "This... is for me?"
“Of course,” Xiao Wenbing said gently. “Since we are neighbors, we are destined to be together. Since we are destined to be together, we should help each other. And if we help each other, we should share the good fortune.”
The Seven-Colored Winged King stared at him blankly, her head spinning from his "since it is, then it is" theory. However, the feeling in her hand told her that this was indeed the primordial crystal that everyone dreamed of.
"Do you know how to use this treasure?" Xiao Wenbing asked kindly.
"Yes, Sister Kairis and Fairy Mingzhu have told us about it."
"Alright, then absorb the energy within and go and comprehend the power of origin."
The Seven-Colored Winged King hesitated for a moment, then said, "But what about Sister Kairis..."
“I will handle things with her,” Xiao Wenbing said. “I hope that by the time I return, you will have already comprehended your own divine power.”
The Seven-Colored Winged King stared silently at the treasure in her hand. After a long while, she finally said, "No, the deity behind the pearl promised us that as long as we obtain a Primal Crystal, he will bestow upon us a Divine Power Crystal that matches the attributes of the six of us." With a sigh, she said solemnly, "If Fellow Immortal Xiao takes this back, Seven-Colored Wing ...
Xiao Wenbing and the others were surprised at the same time, and they felt an inexplicable increase in respect for the Seven-Colored Wing King's decision.
Volume 22, Chapter 28: Extraordinary Treasures (Part 1)
------------------------
The palace, composed of thousands of enormous trees, is exquisitely decorated and exudes an elegant charm amidst its comfort.
As one of the top immortals, the Seven-Colored Winged King's palace was far superior to the residence of the Great Serpent Supreme.
Moments ago, when the Seven-Colored Winged King expressed his feelings and his unwillingness to monopolize the Origin Crystal, he had already won the respect of Xiao Wenbing and the others.
If the roles were reversed, I doubt many people could do that.
Having discerned the true nature of the Seven-Colored Wing King, Xiao Wenbing and the others felt relieved. They offered to visit the Seven-Colored Wing King's palace.
The Seven-Colored Winged King agreed to this request without hesitation.
Actually, she had no choice but to agree. With so many supreme experts together, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted in the Immortal Realm?
"Was this designed by Kairis himself?" Xiao Wenbing asked, his eyes filled with envy.
"Yes, it was all designed by Sister Kairis. She even personally arranged some parts. She personally selected the tea for everyone," the Seven-Colored Winged King said proudly. Although he couldn't compare to Feng Baiyi in martial arts, his place of residence was certainly better than hers. A small sense of pride inexplicably welled up within him.
While sipping his fragrant tea, Xiao Wenbing said with a hint of envy, "If I ever meet Kairis again, I must ask her to design a suit for me."
The Seven-Colored Winged King's eyes lit up as he thought of the Origin Crystal in Xiao Wenbing's possession, and immediately said, "If Xiao Wenbing makes the offer, Sister Kairis will definitely be happy to agree."
The Great Serpent Supreme gave the two of them a strange look and said with ulterior motives, "Is that fox spirit so easy to talk to? Has she taken a fancy to Fellow Daoist Xiao?"
"Yes," the Seven-Colored Winged King answered honestly without denying it.
"puff……"
Xiao Wenbing took a sip of tea, but choked on it and coughed a few times. He then angrily said to the Great Serpent Supreme, "Great Serpent, why are you spreading such nonsense everywhere?"
The Great Serpent Supreme shrugged and said, "It was Seven Colors who said that. You've got the wrong person."
The Seven-Colored Winged King then realized what was happening, her pretty face flushed, and she said, "Fellow Immortal Xiao, please don't be offended. What I meant was that Sister Kairis is definitely interested in the Origin Crystal in your possession."
Xiao Wenbing rolled his eyes. How dare you two talk like that?
Stealing a glance at Zhang Yaqi and Feng Baiyi, I was relieved that they were quite virtuous and didn't hold a grudge, otherwise I might have been in trouble.
After hesitating for a moment, the Seven-Colored Supreme took out the Origin Crystal and said, "Fellow Immortal Xiao, are you really giving me this treasure?"
"That's natural."
“Very well, on behalf of my brothers and sisters, I thank you for your generous gift, Immortal. If you ever have any further requests, we will certainly not refuse,” the Seven-Colored Winged King said confidently.
Before Xiao Wenbing could answer, Zhang Yaqi spoke softly, "Sister Qicai, you don't need to be so polite. It's just a few Origin Crystals, Wenbing can easily afford them."
The Seven-Colored Winged King said solemnly, "Although I don't know what value this treasure holds in Fellow Immortal Xiao's heart, it is priceless to us. It is a treasure that can enable us to cultivate into gods."
Xiao Wenbing laughed and said, "Alright, let's not talk about that. Seven Colors, since I've given you this Origin Crystal, just accept it. Try to comprehend the divine power as soon as possible; perhaps I'll need your help in the future." Seeing that Seven Colors Wing King was still somewhat hesitant, he added, "Don't worry, I guarantee each of your five friends will receive one."
The Seven-Colored Winged King was startled, and his gaze toward Xiao Wenbing was filled with shock.
Let alone the Origin Crystal, even an ordinary Divine Power Crystal would be a rare treasure for a Supreme Immortal like her.
But at this moment, Xiao Wenbing actually agreed to six Origin Crystals in one go, which was quite surprising to her.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you're not joking, are you?"
"I, Xiao, am by no means a person who goes back on his word. You can rest assured, Seven-Colored Supreme."
Although there were no vows, it was this calm tone that truly put the Seven-Colored Winged King at ease.
She bowed deeply to Xiao Wenbing and said sincerely, "Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Xiao."
“No need to be so polite.” Xiao Wenbing said with a smile, “You can tell Kairis to come here, and I will give them the Origin Crystals all at once.”
“Okay.” The Seven-Colored Winged King readily agreed, then flicked her fingers, sending out several flying sword messages from her small, fair hand.
Soon, several beams of light appeared in the void. Clearly, Keris and the others, having received the message, immediately replied.
The Seven-Colored Winged King scanned them with his divine sense and said, "They have already set off and will arrive within two months."
Xiao Wenbing frowned and pondered for a moment before nodding under the expectant gaze of the Seven-Colored Wing King and saying, "Alright, I'll wait here for two months. After two months, we'll attend the gathering of the Gods' Spokespersons with Kairis and Mingzhu."
The Seven-Colored Winged King's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly asked, "Fellow Immortal Xiao, do you want to see Sister Keris soon?"
"Will we see him soon?" Xiao Wenbing asked in surprise, "Isn't Kairis in the Linglong Immortal Realm? Even if he comes right away, it will probably take him more than a month."
"No." The Seven-Colored Winged King said something surprising: "Actually, Sister Keris is in my palace."
Xiao Wenbing stopped mid-air as he held the teacup to his lips. He looked around in surprise, disregarding all etiquette, and immediately sent out a divine thought.
Not only him, but Orochi, the King of Food, and Queenie also released their divine thoughts almost simultaneously.
The four people scanned the vast palace several times with their divine senses, but to their disappointment, they couldn't find even a single ordinary Refining God Immortal, let alone a Supreme-level expert.
Xiao Wenbing naturally didn't doubt the Seven-Colored Winged King's words; if she said Kairis was here, then she must be here. However, after searching with their divine senses for a long time, they still found nothing, and were immediately filled with admiration for the fox spirit's skill in concealment.
The Seven-Colored Winged King smiled, not stopping Xiao Wenbing and the others from their actions, but a hint of smugness appeared in his eyes as he said, "Fellow Immortal Xiao, shall I summon my sister?"
Xiao Wenbing was unconvinced, but he laughed and said, "I'll look again."
A magical energy emanated from the Mirror God and merged into his divine sense. The divine sense, carrying a wisp of white light, once again spread throughout the palace.
Since he left the Samsara Palace and entered the Refining Spirit Realm, he has been able to integrate the Mirror God's energy with his own divine sense. This way, when searching for things, no one will be able to detect the Mirror God's presence.
After a while, when his divine sense swept over a small tree hole on the west side of the palace, he finally discovered the strange place.
The Mirror God is indeed the Mirror God, arguably the most powerful of all auxiliary artifacts. While its offensive and defensive capabilities are far inferior to the old tortoise's thick shell, it possesses unparalleled super power in locating enemies.
There was no concealment at the entrance to the small tree hole. Both Xiao Wenbing and the Food King had searched it with their divine senses multiple times, but they had not found a single flaw.
But as soon as the Mirror God appeared, he immediately found this place.
"Mirror God, are you sure we're here?"
"Of course, there's a foxy smell here; that vixen must be here."
