"This..." Nie Yun blinked.
What the other party handed him was something shaped like a pearl, about the size of a longan. Flowing light flickered across it, making it impossible to tell what treasure it was. Yet the moment his spiritual awareness probed it, he could sense the boundless, immeasurable power contained within.
"Take it. This Exquisite Pearl Pagoda was troublesome to forge and cost me quite a bit of time, but it does not quite align with the Great Dao I cultivate. Besides, its grade is too low, so it is no longer of much use to me. I'll give it to you today!"
Divine Pagoda Emperor waved his hand. He spoke grandly enough, but his eyes carried a trace of reluctance, and he looked terribly pained.
"Exquisite Pearl Pagoda?" Nie Yun was startled.
He had heard every word of the conversation between Divine Pagoda Emperor and Emperor Yuan Yang just now. He knew this was an exceedingly precious item to the man, or he would not have spoken that way. Nie Yun hurriedly handed it back. "It's too precious. I can't accept it!"
They had only just met, and taking the treasure of a Great Emperor felt rather inappropriate to him.

"Uh?"
