The Cao brothers and the others showed little reaction, but Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha's eyes narrowed. He alone recognized the jade talisman, and Xiao Ying was clearly speaking for his benefit and showing it to him!
There was no denying that, excluding external enhancements such as fruition ranks, Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha was probably the most powerful being in the Pangu World. Even Xiao Ying might not be his match. Such was the depth of his accumulated years, experience, and techniques!
"Let me be frank! My main reason for offering you surrender is the Pangu Inheritance, because only Pangu's people can enter the secret realm. Otherwise, as a Heaven-Grade High Priest and the ruler of an Immortal Kingdom, how much value do you think you have to me? Are you worth so much of my time and effort?"
Seeing that Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha still gave no response, Xiao Ying knitted his thick brows and reminded him impatiently, then snapped in an icy voice:
"Ten breaths! I will not wait any longer!"
Cao Hong and the others still showed little reaction. They did not really understand what being a Heaven-Grade High Priest or the ruler of an Immortal Kingdom meant.
Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha, however, understood Xiao Ying's meaning and knew he was not lying. Given Xiao Ying's status, he truly had little reason to care whether these few men submitted. Somewhat indignantly, he protested, "My true cultivation is at the peak early Buddha Emperor stage!"
Xiao Ying's heart tightened. He had not expected Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha to have reached the peak early Buddha Emperor stage. The man certainly had a few tricks up his sleeve. After all, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the other Pangu sages were only at the Immortal Emperor realm now.
