"Do you know what I want?" A cold smile curled Jiang Changkong's lips. "I'm afraid you can't afford what I want!"
"The world bustled for profit; the world clamored for gain. Aren't you here for benefit as well?"
Hua Tianrui rose and walked to the edge of the pavilion. "Once, this was a magnificent Flower Sea Kingdom. What you see is merely a corner at its edge."
"You mean you possess this kingdom's treasure?" Jiang Changkong said blandly.
"I do. I possess this kingdom's supreme treasure—a treasure enough to make the starry sky tremble."
A holy radiance glowed from Hua Tianrui's body. She raised a hand slightly, and the blooming petals fell away, dancing into the air.
The dancing petals gathered together, forming a multicolored flower that landed in her palm.
"This is an illusion you created?"
Jiang Changkong's expression was grim. "I have to admit, you're very powerful. I can't see the slightest flaw."
"It isn't an illusion, but a dream."
Hua Tianrui held the flower and placed it in Jiang Changkong's palm. "Flower Fragrance Enters Dreams—a minor secret art."
"Get to the point. What is your purpose?" Jiang Changkong asked calmly.
"I'll show you a few things first."
With Hua Tianrui's calm words, the scene around them changed.
Jiang Changkong's gaze sharpened. He was standing amid the starry sky. Though it was a dream, this method was still formidable.
Within the starry sky were countless stars and endless star arrays.
He could even make out the patterns of those star arrays with perfect clarity.
Countless human and beastly figures slaughtered one another.
In this battle among the stars, even the weakest among them were high-level martial artists!
Across boundless killing arrays, some martial artists stood a hundred zhang tall and shattered the starry sky with a single punch.
