Volume Six: The Thousand Dream Fruit Transaction
The emperors had a general understanding of the value of the Thousand Dream Fruit, generally believing that 'two or three tenths of the corpse of the Ultimate Realm Primal Chaos Bloodline's was about right. Now, however, the Di Fu proposed a full fifty percent corpse, which indeed surprised all the emperors.
"Fifty percent?" Emperor Yan frowned and looked at Di Fu. "Even if they come from different corpses, Five-Tenths Corpse Material... that's too much!"
The other emperors remained silent, also watching the Di Fu.
Di Fu smiled slightly, "Five-Tenths Corpse Material, is that a lot? In my opinion, not at all."
"I think it's quite a lot." Emperor Yuan frowned and said, "Di Fu, did you deliberately give this Black Robe a treasure from your clan? Do you know this Black Robe?"
Di Fu didn't speak, but his expression turned cold.
"This was a collective decision made by the Emperors," Emperor Xuan rebuked. "Every Emperor can express their opinion! The Di Fu merely offered one opinion, and you, Emperor Yuan, are saying he deliberately sent the treasure to the Black Robe? Emperor Yuan, you've gone too far!"
"The Di Fu is only offering his opinion; the final decision still needs to be made collectively," Emperor Lord Jiu Feng said, sounding quite dissatisfied.
"Hmph." Emperor Yuan sneered, "I'd like to see what kind of reason the Di Fu has."
Di Fu glanced at Emperor Yuan: "Emperor Yuan, of the thirteen emperors, you have caused the most trouble for the Imperial Clan. You are the least qualified to say such a thing."
Emperor Yuan's expression changed, and he roared, "Di Fu, you've targeted me time and time again..."
"Today, you're targeting me!" Di Fu stared at him coldly. "I am the current ruling emperor. Do you think I can turn a blind eye to your mess? What, are we all going to have a collective discussion about your dirty business today?"
Emperor Yuan sneered, "Enough, enough, let's not talk about that. I want to see why you would exchange Five-Tenths Corpse Material for a Thousand Dream Fruit."
Di Fu glanced around. "Let's get back to business! I want to ask you emperors, are you sincerely interested in buying this Thousand Dream Fruit, or do you not want to buy it?"
The many emperors present were taken aback.
"If we only offer '30% of the corpse materials,' do you think we can buy the Thousand Dream Fruit?" Di Fu asked again. "I believe everyone knows that the Thunder Ancient Nation has more corpse materials than us, and they will probably offer 30% or 40% as well! And the Three Great Alien Races... generally offer higher prices than our Two Great Ancient Nations."
"The Three Great Alien Races probably don't have that many corpses," Emperor Yuan said.
"The Three Great Alien Races will offer other conditions, such as a small number of remnants of 'Lowly Primal Chaos Lifeform'," Di Fu said. "In short, based on my understanding of the Three Great Alien Races, their offer will definitely be higher than that of the Two Great Ancient Nations!"
The emperors present remained silent.
Yes.
This has always been the case! The homelands of the Three Great Alien Races don't possess such rare treasures, and they're willing to pay a much higher price for each one. Meanwhile, the progenitors of the two nations, having acquired so much, have become even more discerning.
"Everyone knows that offering 30% of the corpse materials has an extremely low chance of success. It just means we won't be blamed by the Ancestor," Di Fu said. "If we are truly committed to buying this Thousand Dream Fruit for the Ancestor, we must offer more than 40% of the corpse materials to have any hope of surpassing the Three Great Alien Races and winning the Thousand Dream Fruit."
"We only have 50% of our treasure trove in total. Is there a big difference between bidding 40% and bidding 50%? What can we do with the remaining materials?"
Di Fu said, "Even with 40% corpse materials, the success rate is still not high. I estimate that the Three Great Alien Races will generally offer prices in this range, or even higher. Five-Tenths Corpse Material will offer a much better chance!"
"Paying such a high price to force this Thousand Dream Fruit?" Emperor Yuan sneered.
Don't forget.
Di Fu looked around and said, "The Origin Continent has entered its final stage!"
The emperors present felt a chill run down their spines.
"The further we go, the rarer the top-tier treasures produced in the Dream Domain will become," Di Fu said. "And before the end of the Origin Continent, we must also leave the Origin Continent. The Thousand Dream Fruit may not be of much use to the Ancestor, but it is of great use to us."
The other eleven emperors were moved.
"These top-tier treasures, can they really be ours?" Emperor Lord Kong couldn't help but ask, his eyes burning with desire.
Because it was purchased for the progenitor, people didn't pay much attention.
But if you take it yourself...
"The amount I owe the clan isn't too high," Di Fu said. "I will take the initiative to apply to the Ancestor to buy this share of the Thousand Dream Fruit, and I will bear the so-called cost myself."
Emperor Lord Ming, who had been silent all along, suddenly brightened up and said, "I will apply too."
Of the twelve emperors present, Emperor Lord Ming Di Fu owed the least to their clans, and both still had enough money to buy the Thousand Dream Fruit.
"So that's what you were planning."
"We will be leaving the Origin Continent in the future, and we won't have the chance to obtain such top-tier treasures again." These emperors were all somewhat tempted. They couldn't live in the next era of the Origin Continent. After leaving the Origin Continent, how could they possibly obtain treasures of this level again? It would be too difficult.
Didn't you see that the Three Great Alien Races World-Breaking Teleportation to the Origin Continent, paying such a huge price to buy the Thousand Dream Fruit?
"We can't afford it." Emperor Lord Kong, Emperor Chu, and the others were all quite envious.
The ancestors of both countries incurred enormous debts on Two Great Ancient Nations emperors and monarchs. If the emperors and monarchs wanted more treasures, they had to pay off their debts first! So they desperately searched for top-tier treasures.
The two progenitors did not need to spend any effort, and these emperors and monarchs presented them with numerous treasures.
"I'm willing to buy it for Five-Tenths Corpse Material, and I'll even proactively request to buy the Thousand Dream Fruit from the Ancestor. I'll bear any further costs myself." Di Fu looked around. "Offering Five-Tenths Corpse Material, does anyone have any objections?"
"Alright." Emperor Lord Ming nodded. "We'll apply to the Ancestor when the time comes, and each of us will have to rely on our own abilities."
Di Fu nodded.
Di Fu definitely wanted the Thousand Dream Fruit.
After consuming it, one can experience a thousand reincarnations in dreams, cultivating in the dream world as well, accumulating insights, and tempering the mind! Such a treasure is of immense value! It is only because the ancestors of the two countries who had reached extremely high levels of cultivation and had obtained similar treasures did not care much about it.
The Thousand Dream Fruit is most effective the first time you take it. Subsequent doses, such as the second and third, will have progressively lower effectiveness.
"I have no objection." Emperor Xuan nodded.
"You, Di Fu, will bear the consequences yourself, of course I have no objection," Emperor Lord Kong sighed.
"Unfortunately, I can't afford it." Emperor Chu shook his head.
None of the emperors had any objections, not even Emperor Yan. They could tell that the emperors' decision would definitely be approved by more than half of the people.
"Then it's settled." Di Fu nodded.
"Di Fu," Emperor Yan suddenly spoke, "If the Black Robe agrees to this deal, may I remain an observer?"
Di Fu glanced at Emperor Yan, smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Emperor Yan nodded.
Emperor Yan Palace.
Emperor Yan, Emperor Wu, and Emperor Lord Xi reunited.
"Big brother, are you going to observe this transaction from the sidelines?" Emperor Wu asked Emperor Yan with a puzzled look.
Emperor Yan nodded. "You should know that I am the first person in the entire Imperial Clan to become an Emperor, Di Fu is the second! At that time, we both cultivated the Primal Chaos Bloodline and had a deep relationship. I also helped him a lot."
Emperor Wu and Emperor Lord Xi both nodded.
"Of all the Imperial Clan, I should know Di Fu the most," Emperor Yan said. "I have always wanted to recruit Di Fu to join us so that the four of us can work together after we leave the Origin Continent."
"With Di Fu's mastery of formations, if he joined us, our team's strength would at least double." Emperor Wu nodded. "But you've been trying to win him over for so long, and he's completely ignored you."
"Yes."
Emperor Yan nodded, "The Di Fu's husband appears gentle on the surface, but he is actually extremely decisive. Back then, he didn't hesitate to abandon the Primal Chaos Bloodline and choose to reincarnate! And there were the previous collective decisions made by the Emperors... Sometimes he would give me some face, but sometimes he would directly stand against me."
"He is not swayed by gratitude, and I cannot influence his decisions," Emperor Yan said. "I have long understood that he could not join us."
"But this time, his stubbornness is very unusual," Emperor Yan said. "Although his explanation is quite convincing—he wants that Thousand Dream Fruit himself... I've known him for too long, and his decision feels a bit off. So I'm going to observe this transaction from the sidelines. Besides, I happen to be quite interested in that Black Robe."
"Emperor Yan, don't make enemies with the Di Fu," Emperor Lord Xi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. "You can't defeat him."
Emperor Yan was taken aback, looked at his wife, and smiled, "I know!"
Without relying on external objects, only Di Fu on the Origin Continent could cultivate his body into an 'Ultimate Realm Lifeform' through array formations. Other powerful individuals' 'Ultimate Realm Lifeform' either relied on the Primal Chaos Bloodline or on numerous precious Primal Chaos Materials.
Di Fu's mastery of formations is beyond comprehension, and he has also exchanged powerful formation treasures with the Ancestor, making his strength even more terrifying.
This is just the surface!
Emperor Yan knew very well that his Di Fu had always been very good at hiding his true intentions!
"When it comes to scheming, who on the Origin Continent can outsmart him?" Emperor Yan said. "To be honest, although everyone says that the Black Robe's identity is mysterious and unknown, if anyone from the Two Great Ancient Nations can deduce his identity, I think Di Fu is the first one who can."
"This time, the Black Robe fought against Di Jiufeng and Di Wu, which confirms that the Black Robe possesses a physical body no less than that of an ultimate realm life form," Di Yan said. "His physical body is terrifying, and his mental will surpasses that of a God-King. After all, Di Ming was nurtured by royal resources, but for the Black Robe, as a casual cultivator, to reach this level, is even more terrifying than Di Ming."
"I have a feeling that there might be a connection between the Di Fu and the Black Robe," Emperor Yan said.
"The Origin Continent is entering its final stage, so we should be even more diligent." Emperor Yan looked at Emperor Lord Xi and Emperor Wu. "The three of us should compete for any great fortuitous opportunity! The power within the Origin Continent is limited to the Ultimate Realm! So as long as they can get involved, we can get involved too."
"The more fortuitous opportunity we seize, the stronger we become, and the better the three of us will be able to live when we leave the Origin Continent in the future," Emperor Yan said.
Emperor Wu and Emperor Lord Xi both nodded.
They look down on ordinary fortuitous opportunity, but when it comes to precious resources, they will never let them go if they can get involved!
Luo Feng received responses from the Two Great Ancient Nations. The Thunder Ancient Nation was willing to provide 'approximately 30% of the corpse materials,' which originated from two different Ultimate Realm Primal Chaos Bloodline corpses. The Yan Feng Ancient Nation was willing to provide 'approximately Five-Tenths Corpse Material,' which originated from three different Ultimate Realm Primal Chaos Bloodline corpses.
"The Yan Feng Ancient Nation has brought out so much?" Luo Feng was very surprised.
The conditions offered by the Yan Feng Ancient Nation are truly exceptional. Even when negotiating with the Three Great Alien Races, the Yan Feng Ancient Nation's terms would likely be the best.
"The conditions offered by your Yan Feng Ancient Nation are slightly better than those of the Three Great Alien Races! I am willing to sell the Thousand Dream Fruit to you." Luo Feng responded to the Yan Feng Ancient Nation through the Talisman Token, and the two sides also confirmed the time and place of the handover.
Snow Top City is a small city on the border of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation. This city is built on the top of a majestic mountain. It is snowed all year round, and there are not many Xing Zhe living here, only a few billion.
The highest point in the city, which is also the highest peak of the entire majestic mountain range, is completely sealed off today, prohibiting all Xing Zhe from approaching.
Call.
Luo Feng, clad in Black Robe and wearing a golden mask, appeared high in the sky. Because he was there to trade for the 'Thousand Dream Fruit,' and to prevent the Yan Feng Ancient Nation from forcibly seizing it, Luo Feng had put his physical body into a state where he could unleash his strongest power. This was World Lifeform with a full 56 times the Perfect Divine Body Energy Reserve, and Luo Feng was also carrying the Star Tower!
"Call."
Luo Feng took a step and was already at the top of the mountain.
Two figures were already at the mountaintop, their auras naturally influencing the surrounding world; they were none other than Di Fu Emperor Yan.
"They've arrived." Di Fu and Emperor Yan also saw the Black-Robed Golden-Masked Expert appear.
