Limitless Dao Palace

"This has been kept in the Mysterious Heaven Sect all along, but no one has been able to absorb it. Sect Master Xuantian thought that, with Human Emperor Chen's extraordinary powers, this treasure might be of use to you."

This was no small gift.

Even Chen Xia, as he was now, found it tempting.

Elder Xuanqing watched Chen Xia's expression, then added, "Human Sovereign, the sect master specifically asked me to tell you that the Mysterious Heaven Sect has no way to make use of these Void Crystals. If you need more in the future, please just ask. You could also collect them from our Mystic Void Secret Realm yourself."

He was offering goodwill while making it clear that the Mysterious Heaven Sect posed no threat in this matter and was willing to provide resources.

Chen Xia nodded slightly. "I accept this gift. Tell Sect Master Xuantian that I understand his goodwill. The Federation is glad to call the Mysterious Heaven Sect a friend."

He offered no effusive thanks. He simply accepted the gift and made a promise.

But to the Mysterious Heaven Sect, that word—friend—was already worth a fortune.

At those words, a weight lifted from Elder Xuanqing's heart, and genuine joy spread across his face. "Thank you, Human Sovereign. I'll convey your words to the Mysterious Heaven Sect exactly as you said them."

"Mm."

Chen Xia nodded, then thought of something. "By the way, how is Liu Yun doing?"

Elder Yao had helped him back then, so naturally he still remembered Liu Yun.

Elder Xuanqing cupped his hands. "Liu Yun is currently my disciple, but she'll soon be promoted to a direct disciple of the sect, a position of considerable standing. And given her connection to Human Emperor Chen, the Mysterious Heaven Sect certainly won't neglect her."

"Good."
