Chen Jichuan was lost in thought.
Suddenly,
the One Origin Patriarch took out two more objects.
One was a sword.
The other was a mirror.
They were the two Ancient Immortal Artifacts the Four Sages Daoist had thrown into the One Origin Golden Wind Bag when the Scarlet Blood Patriarch cursed him to death.
The One Origin Patriarch held them out to Chen Jichuan. "You seized these from the Five Virtues and Subtle Insight sects. Now they return to their rightful owner."
"This—"
Chen Jichuan accepted the two artifacts, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed.
He had been thinking about them for some time.
But the One Origin Patriarch had never mentioned them.
Instead, he had piled one Heavenly Court position after another onto Chen Jichuan.
Then he had painted a rosy picture of the Immortal-Fall Battlefield four million years hence.
Chen Jichuan had thought that, besides rewarding him for choosing the right side, the Patriarch might also be trying to keep the two artifacts for himself.
But he had never expected this.
At the very end, the One Origin Patriarch had returned both treasures.
Chen Jichuan had judged a gentleman's heart by a petty man's measure.
He wouldn't even pocket something he found on the road!
What integrity!
Holding the Five Virtues Immortal Swords and the Subtle Insight Illuminating Netherworld Mirror, Chen Jichuan felt a measure of admiration.
The One Origin Patriarch knew nothing of the thoughts running through Chen Jichuan's mind. He said, "The Five Virtues and Subtle Insight Patriarchs obtained these artifacts long ago. They need their corresponding divine abilities to unleash their full power. Keep them for now. If those two show some sincerity later, you can trade them for rare treasures you can use, or for other Ancient Immortal Artifacts."
