Chapter 414: Heavenly Demon Illusion, the Fairyʼs Resolve

Fairy Xia sidestepped to avoid Lan Changʼanʼs hand, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, her beautiful face cold as frost, maintaining a proper distance.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, Lan Changʼan possessed keen and powerful senses.

Though this woman appeared aloof and emotionless, her heartbeat had quickened slightly when she entered the hall and saw him, her emotions fluctuating briefly.

But it was only for a fleeting moment.

After that, whether in expression, aura, or the fluctuations of her heart, Xia Wenyue seemed sealed beneath a layer of ten-thousand-year ice, cold and detached without a trace of emotion.

Lan Changʼan clasped his hands behind his back and paced, observing Fairy Xiaʼs countenance while silently calculating. His brows gradually furrowed.

With his back turned to her, he murmured while pinching his fingers:

”Over these years, you have been neglected by Palace Master Golden Moon. Your resources and treatment have diminished, losing the support for forming a Nascent Soul. Yet, relying on your Innate Dao Physique and the foundation of a Half-Step Golden Dan, you smoothly cultivated to the peak of Core Formation.”

”During the demonic war, due to your peerless beauty and top-notch aptitude, you were targeted by high-ranking Beast King Valley cultivators. Even though your Innate Dao Physique greatly enhanced frost-based divine abilities and spells, and your protective methods were exceptional, you still suffered poisoning and severe injuries, leaving slight flaws in your body and Dao foundation. Isolated and neglected within the palace, you did not receive immediate care from elders or access to sacred medicines for recovery.”

”You are trapped by inner demons, forcibly isolating them with ice-sealing techniques, standing out of place in Proud Moon Palace with almost no trusted friends. In such a state, to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, even calling it a nine-in-ten chance of death would be optimistic.”

Lan Changʼanʼs narration was calm, as if he were merely an observer.

Since he spoke softly with his back turned, Xia Wenyue did not have to face his gaze directly. She raised her eyes to study his figure, unchanged after a century, though a few silver strands now mingled with his black hair, adding an air of vicissitude and solitude.

”Did True Monarch Lan visit Proud Moon Palace just to mock this junior?”

Xia Wenyueʼs expression remained unmoved, her tone indifferent.

Lan Changʼan continued, still facing away:

”All these years, Situ Lan has not let go of his obsession. If you were to reconsider and become his Dao partner, perhaps both of you could resolve your inner conflicts. Yet, you have a premonition, even accepting Situ Lan would not truly break through your inner demons.”

”You might still remember the words left by the one who departed, the bond that could not be completely severed.”

Xia Wenyueʼs brows tightened slightly, her lips pressed together in silence.

In front of this True Monarch teacher, she felt as though her clothes had been stripped away, her icy shell pried open.

The hardships and disappointments of her past, the desolation and confusion in her heart, all were laid bare without concealment.

”The path to Nascent Soul is long and arduous. The mountains are high, the waters far, and the immortal road eternal. Can we truly meet again after a hundred years?”

Xia Wenyue faintly recalled the words Lan Changʼan had left when they parted.

Having known each other for over a century, she understood his aspirations.

Only if both reached the Nascent Soul stage would there be a chance to meet again, otherwise, it would all be in vain.

Who could have imagined that the so-called ”Turtle Immortal” of those years, aiming for Nascent Soul, would eventually return in glory?

Yet, Xia Wenyue remained trapped at Core Formation. Facing the now Nascent Soul True Monarch Lan, who stood at the peak of Great Qing, she had no further thoughts or desires.

She had given him her youthful sincerity, her first intimacy, and the Taiyin Jade Essence. Between them, there was no longer any debt.

To the present True Monarch Lan, she held no value worth mentioning.

...

”You still face a future calamity. As your teacher, I cannot stand by and do nothing.”

Having finished his calculations, Lan Changʼan finally turned around, his voice gentle as he met Xia Wenyueʼs gaze.

When he left back then, Lan Changʼan had foreseen that Xia Wenyueʼs future would be difficult.

But at that time, she had refused to owe anything. Even if he wished to compensate her—bestowing magical treasures or life-saving measures—she would not have accepted.

It was her final stubbornness and dignity.

Before parting, Xia Wenyue had risked her life to protect him, defying her master Golden Moon for his sake. This was a major reason for her subsequent neglect and misfortunes.

In that moment, Xia Wenyue had also touched Lan Changʼanʼs heart, stirring his compassion.

After all, a peerlessly beautiful Innate Dao Physique cultivator, who gave him her first sincerity and intimacy, and was willing to risk her life for him—such a woman was rare in this world.

Thus, before fleeing, he had left those words, subtly revealing his aspirations and feelings.

Even without the need for the Dragon Phoenix Dual Cauldron Technique, after forming his Nascent Soul and returning to Great Qing, Lan Changʼan would have compensated her appropriately for what he owed.

The only difference lay in the extent of that compensation.

This was the karmic consequence of his escape back then, the sorrow and misfortune it brought upon Fairy Xia.

Including the calamity, he had just glimpsed in her future.

That calamity was not imminent, and Lan Changʼan could not yet divine its exact cause.

But from the threads of fate, he could deduce it was related to the demonic war and also intertwined with his own karma.

”True Monarch Lan, please restrain yourself. The transaction back then settled all debts. Do not presume to act as my teacher.”

Xia Wenyueʼs snow-like face remained emotionless, cold as ever.

”As for this so-called ʼcalamity,ʼ Wenyueʼs situation fears nothing worse. When the time comes for my final attempt at forming a Nascent Soul, even if opportunities are lacking, I will still make the attempt. Heavenly thunder tribulations, heart demon tribulations, they are unavoidable regardless.”

Xia Wenyue paid little heed to Lan Changʼanʼs warning.

Her heart was sealed in ice, indifferent to many things—including past affections.

Once she truly forged a heart of absolute ice, even those inner demons and tribulations would not stop her.

”Attempting to form a Nascent Soul? It seems Wenyue still holds faith and perseverance in the Great Dao.”

Lan Changʼan relaxed slightly, smiling.

”Coincidentally, this True Monarch happens to possess an almost complete Nascent Soul opportunity.”

Xia Wenyueʼs heart stirred, her cold, autumn-water-like eyes flickering with the first hint of emotion.

But she quickly shook her head: ”There is no debt between us. If I were to receive a Nascent Soul opportunity from True Monarch Lan, the icy heart Iʼve forged would crumble, making it impossible to survive the Heart Demon Tribulation.”

”The world does have those who cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness or the Dao of Forgetfulness to withstand inner demons. However, your nature is kind, this path does not suit you. Otherwise, you would not have risked your life to protect me back then. Forcing an icy heart against your true nature would only backfire.”

Lan Changʼan spoke earnestly.

In the cultivation world, there exist natural-born villains with unshakable demonic hearts. No matter how many evils they commit, they remain unrepentant, facing Heart Demon Tribulations with ease.

Similar to the ”superhero syndrome” from his past life, but an enhanced version in the cultivation world.

Such villains could never be tamed into righteous hearts, no matter the cost.

”Without trying, how would I know?”

Xia Wenyue bit her lower lip. Deep down, Lan Changʼanʼs words had shaken her somewhat.

All these years, her inability to forge a perfect heart of ice might indeed stem from its incompatibility with her true nature and unresolved attachments.

”Then shall we test it?”

Lan Changʼan chuckled, confident as he declared:

”This True Monarch possesses a secret technique that can subject you to a weakened version of the Heart Demon Tribulation. If Fairy Xia has confidence, you may experience it.”

A weakened Heart Demon Tribulation?

Xia Wenyue pondered briefly, her clear eyes flickering.

She saw no harm in it. Given Lan Changʼanʼs current status, he had no reason to plot against her.

”Very well. If Wenyue passes this weakened Heart Demon Tribulation, I hope True Monarch Lan will not disturb me again.”

Xia Wenyue nodded in agreement.

Black, twisting dots emerged in the depths of Lan Changʼanʼs pupils, as if leading to the abyss of demons. His gaze locked with Xia Wenyueʼs.

”Begin!”

Lan Changʼan activated the Heavenly Demon Secret Art, pressing a finger against Xia Wenyueʼs glabella.

Boom!

Fairy Xiaʼs sea of consciousness trembled violently. Her delicate body shuddered as her dazed eyes reflected countless shifting colors before slowly closing.

Lan Changʼan steadied her swaying willow-like waist, preventing her from collapsing.

...

The flow of time in the Heart Demon Tribulation far exceeded that of the material world.

A brief moment in reality might encompass the shifting of seas into mulberry fields, a lifetime of grievances, and reincarnation within the illusion.

Fairy Xiaʼs frost-like beauty gradually softened, no longer frozen in unchanging coldness.

Occasionally, emotions such as sorrow, pain, joy, disappointment, and regret, the full spectrum of human feelings flickered across her face.

At the deepest point of the Heart Demon Tribulation, Fairy Xia could no longer restrain herself. Two clear teardrops fell from her eyes.

”You couldnʼt even break through a weakened version of the Heart Demon Tribulation, let alone the real Heart Demon Tribulation.”

Lan Changʼan sighed softly, feeling somewhat troubled.

Fairy Xiaʼs unresolved heart demons had backfired when she tried to forcibly forge an icy heart.

Huu—

Lan Changʼan withdrew his finger, ending the Heavenly Demon Secret Art. The strain on his soul from maintaining the illusion was considerable.

Xia Wenyue slowly awoke.

Twin trails of tears traced down her snow-like skin, following the delicate lines of her jaw and neck before soaking into the moon-white gauze of her dress at the curve of her chest.

”Lan... Master Lan!”

Upon waking and seeing the ageless, scholarly man in white before her, Fairy Xiaʼs clear eyes reddened.

Biting her cherry lips, she revealed emotions carried over from the illusion—joy, grievance, regret, and lingering resentment.

As if still caught in a dream, she could no longer restrain herself. She embraced the man standing so close, tear stains lingering on her cheeks.

The beauty of winterʼs snow melting away was enough to dazzle anyone.

Lan Changʼan caught the faint scent of lotus, heard the soft sobbing near his ear. The fairy in his arms had hair like a waterfall, skin as smooth and cool as jade, her body as soft as fine silk. The supple pressure against his chest was undeniable.

Overcome with tenderness, he patted her shoulder and whispered comforting words.

”Having awakened from the Heart Demon Tribulation, have you gained any enlightenment?”

Lan Changʼan mused to himself that if the intensity and mastery of the Heavenly Demon Secret Art could be strengthened, repeated trials might help increase resistance to the Heart Demon Tribulation, no less effective than superior spiritual items for overcoming heart tribulation.

Of course, the true Heart Demon Tribulation was intertwined with the laws of heaven and earth, striking at the deepest recesses of the heart. It could never be fully replicated.

The technique drained his soul considerably. Lan Changʼan felt mentally exhausted and could only perform it once in the short term without affecting his condition.

”What? World of Heart Demon Tribulation?!”

Fairy Xia stiffened in Lan Changʼanʼs embrace, suddenly jolting awake.

She suppressed the emotions that had spilled forth, pushing him away abruptly.

”You... you...”

Her face regained its icy composure, now flushed with a mix of shame and anger. Her delicate earlobes burned red, and she wished she could vanish into the ground.

She wanted to accuse Lan Changʼan of taking advantage but found no grounds. Could she blame her own lack of mental fortitude for being exposed so thoroughly in the illusion?

Earlier, she had agreed to face his Heart Demon Tribulation, not wanting to be underestimated. How could it be stronger than the real tribulation?

”Have you gained any enlightenment?”

Lan Changʼan met her gaze squarely, repeating his question.

”Were the experiences you showed me in the illusion... real?”

Xia Wenyue recalled the scenes from the illusion, her expression softening slightly, now tinged with complexity.

The way she looked at Lan Changʼan was no longer as cold, carrying a trace of guilt instead.

In the illusion, she had witnessed the hardships of Master Lanʼs two centuries of cultivation before reaching late-stage Core Formation.

A young man with grand aspirations at the start of his immortal path, only to be ruthlessly eliminated by his sect.

Taken in by a cultivation family, nearly reduced to a live-in son-in-law. He endured humiliation, honed his skills as a talisman master, built connections, and eventually won his freedom.

As a loose cultivator, he scraped by in Huanglong Immortal City, risking his life hunting demons in the Black Fog Mountain Range. He planned for a Foundation Establishment Pill, only to have it forcibly traded away by others.

At seventy years old, he defied expectations and achieved Foundation Establishment, earning fame across the Liang Kingdom.

Through wars between cultivators and demonic conflicts, he drifted like a leaf on the waves, yet his Dao heart remained unshaken.

Only when he fled to Jing Kingdom and encountered the Xia Clan at Qingsha Bay did he meet her, as if destined, altering both their fates.

He gave her the grace of reforging her Dao foundation, taught her earnestly, and openly stated their transactional agreement from the start, never deceiving her feelings.

For over a century afterward, he couldnʼt contact her, not just due to their secret deal, but also because of her father and the Xie Clan of Heavenly Net Sect hunting him down.

Had he not endured, he might have long perished in some forgotten corner.

When they reunited in Feng Kingdom, her feelings had faded. His deliberate distance and the revelation of his century-long scheme left her resentful, creating a rift.

After their first intimacy, she realized her true feelings, that Situ Lan, whom she had once held some affection for, was merely a substitute for him.

Once their agreement was fulfilled, he found himself in danger once more, having offended Beast King Valley, Endless Palace, and Proud Moon Palace. Had he not fled, staying in Great Qingʼs eastern region would have meant certain death.

After a century of exile, he finally returned in glory. Knowing the suffering she had endured, he refused to leave regrets unresolved and came specifically to make amends.

”If all of that is true... Master Lan, your life has been too bitter. A loose cultivator with no backing, battered by fate, hounded by great powers, pursued and threatened, wandering from place to place, enduring countless trials...”

Xia Wenyue sighed softly, her brows knitting with self-reproach.

Before this, she had only known her own suffering—the neglect, the grievances, the indignity of being treated as a bargaining chip.

Yet compared to the trials in Master Lanʼs life, hers paled into insignificance.

”If you gather intelligence, youʼll find records of those events. Of course, donʼt trust exaggerated unofficial histories like The Legend of Changqing or The Journeys of the Profound Turtle.”

Lan Changʼan replied impassively.

As it turned out, the Heart Demon Tribulation had incorporated some of his own hardships, allowing Xia Wenyue to experience them firsthand.

Lan Changʼan hadnʼt needed to fabricate anything—these were all real events from his life.

Had he spun falsehoods, illogical or inconsistent with reality, the illusionʼs potency would have diminished, making it easier to see through.

...

”Wenyue was too fixated before, trying to sever past emotions. It backfired, making a fool of myself in front of True Monarch Lan.”

A trace of enlightenment surfaced in Xia Wenyue, accompanied by bitterness.

”Master Lan, now a Nascent Soul, still remembers and cares enough to aid my breakthrough. I should feel honored, overjoyed. But such generosity... I donʼt deserve it.”

Having just experienced the illusion, she felt she had gained insight and was reluctant to owe Lan Changʼan further.

”If aiding you without cause is unacceptable, how about another transaction?”

Lan Changʼan smiled faintly, having prepared for this.

”What could Wenyue possibly offer True Monarch Lan now?”

Her clear eyes flickered with wariness.

In her youth, she had been part of Lan Changʼanʼs scheme, a transaction to obtain Taiyin Jade Essence. Yet his methods had been fair, honest in their own way.

With no debts between them now, she found it hard to believe this newly ascended True Monarch would help her form a Nascent Soul without expecting something in return.

”Having reached Nascent Soul, I now have a foothold in Great Qing, no longer a rootless wanderer. Itʼs time I considered taking a partner.”

Lan Changʼan paused, choosing his words carefully:

”Fairy Xia, with your celestial beauty and top-notch aptitude, once shared a marital bond with this True Monarch and a century-long destined connection. Would you deign to become this True Monarchʼs... secondary wife?”

The moment these words left his mouth, Xia Wenyue froze. Her serene, picturesque face flushed crimson with mingled embarrassment and indignation.

A ”secondary wife,” in other words, a concubine, held far lower status than a primary wife and Dao partner.

”Fairy Xia may take time to consider. Even if unwilling, this True Monarch is prepared to gift you one of the main ingredients for the Infant Transformation Pill, along with a superior Nascent Soul spirit item.”

Xia Wenyue turned her face away, her snow-like complexion tinged pink as she lowered her eyes in thought.

She was no longer the lovestruck young cultivator of yesteryear. She would weigh the pros and cons rationally.

A complete Nascent Soul opportunity was unimaginably rare, with competition within sects being ferocious.

Otherwise, with her aptitude, she wouldnʼt have lost her first-priority eligibility just because the palace master took a dislike to her.

Regrettably, the other contender who had received the Nascent Soul opportunity ultimately failed in their breakthrough.

True Monarch Golden Moon, strong-willed and domineering, would never admit any fault on her part.

Moreover, Xia Wenyue couldnʼt guarantee her own success—especially with the lingering disturbance in her heart after Lan Changʼan took her body and Taiyin Jade Essence before vanishing.

Now, if she accepted Lan Changʼanʼs terms, it would be a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Beyond the nearly complete Nascent Soul opportunity...

She could fulfill her original wish to become Master Lanʼs woman, which would help dissolve the knot in her heart.

At her core, Xia Wenyue was a traditional woman, yearning for a beginning and an end.

The first man she had loved, the one who took her maidenhood—belonging to him properly would be a satisfying conclusion.

Being a secondary wife might seem demeaning, but the man in question was a Nascent Soul True Monarch and no ordinary one at that, his status lofty.

Coupled with the promise of a Nascent Soul opportunity, it was an offer countless Core Formation female cultivators could only dream of.

After a moment, Xia Wenyue regained her tranquil composure, only a faint blush remaining on her cheeks.

She turned back, gazing deeply at Lan Changʼan before lifting her palace skirts in a graceful bow:

”Before agreeing, this humble one wishes to clarify one matter, who is True Monarch Lanʼs primary wife and Dao partner?”

Her change in address and demeanor drew silent approval from Lan Changʼan.

This woman understood propriety. Before even entering his household, she sought to identify the primary wife, to gauge whether they could coexist harmoniously.

Having been mentally tempered by his ”guidance” (the Heart Demon Tribulation), combined with the disparity in their status and the lure of a Nascent Soul opportunity, even an ice-sealed fairy had thawed, willing to lower herself and become his concubine.

”This True Monarch has no primary wife yet. Only a Nascent Soul female cultivator would qualify for that position.”

Lan Changʼan smiled faintly, stating the truth.

”This humble one understands.”

Xia Wenyue secretly exhaled in relief, an involuntary spark of joy kindling in her heart.

Master Lan has no primary wife?

She surmised there must be a deeper meaning behind him reserving that position.

First, it would lead Proud Moon Palace and external forces to assume Fairy Xia held little importance in Lan Changʼanʼs eyes, an invisible protection for her.

Had she been his primary wife, Palace Master Golden Moon might have made exorbitant demands, while hostile factions would target her more aggressively.

Second, it served as motivation, if she ascended to Nascent Soul in the future, she might be elevated to primary wife.

Master Lanʼs consideration is truly meticulous!

”Master Lan, what about my master... how should we explain this to her?”

A trace of worry surfaced between Xia Wenyueʼs brows.

Knowing her masterʼs temperament, she would never concede easily. She had already schemed against them both once.

Lan Changʼan wrapped an arm around Fairy Xiaʼs slender waist, nuzzling close as he replied dismissively:

”Sheʼs merely an early-stage Nascent Soul. Thereʼs no need to mind her opinions.”

”Just follow my arrangements...”

”W-will this really be alright?”

As Xia Wenyue hesitated, her face abruptly burned hotter. A soft gasp escaped her lips as her body stiffened.

Her usual snow-cool demeanor shattered as she shot him a reproachful look, her delicate hand darting to her skirts to grip Lan Changʼanʼs wandering fingers.

Lan Changʼan continued matter-of-factly:

”Also, memorize this Dragon Phoenix Dual Cauldron Technique. You may begin studying it beforehand. Using it before forming your Nascent Soul yields greater benefits, it can refine your mana and true essence.”

...

Half an hour later.

Golden Moon True Monarch received Lan Changʼanʼs message and returned to the guest hall.

Inside the hall, the two were seated opposite each other, their robes neat and proper, the atmosphere somewhat tense.

Xia Wenyueʼs delicate brows were slightly furrowed, her fair face covered in a layer of frost, and her teeth lightly clenched.

Lan Changʼan sat upright, his eyebrows raised slightly, his expression displeased.

Golden Moon True Monarchʼs sharp gaze swept over the two.

Earlier, Lan Changʼan and Xia Wenyue had been reminiscing in the hall with isolation barriers erected, preventing outsiders from eavesdropping.

”True Monarch Lan, this junior cannot comply. I cannot agree to your request.”

Xia Wenyue stood up to apologize, then bowed to her master before hastily leaving the hall as if fleeing a great ordeal.

”True Monarch Lan and my disciple seem to have had an unpleasant discussion. May I ask what it was about?”

Golden Moon True Monarch took her seat and inquired.

”Having returned after forming my Nascent Soul, I wished to take Fairy Xia as my concubine in remembrance of our past fleeting romance. Unexpectedly, she refused.”

Lan Changʼan replied in a displeased tone.

”Concubine?”

Golden Moon True Monarch was inwardly furious. This Evergreen True Monarch had actually tried to poach her disciple behind her back.

Given Xia Wenyueʼs aloof personality and her cultivation of an icy heart, her refusal was unsurprising.

Naturally, Golden Moon True Monarch couldnʼt imagine that Lan Changʼan, having formed his Nascent Soul within decades, could have already obtained a Nascent Soul opportunity.

Even less could she imagine that Lan Changʼanʼs Nine Seal Stele had devoured a Heavenly Demon, allowing him to master the Heavenly Demon Secret Art quickly enough to make Xia Wenyue change her mind.

”Wenyue doesnʼt fit in well at Proud Moon Palace and hasnʼt been happy here. If True Monarch Lan has sufficient ʼsincerity,ʼ this palace master might consider persuading her.”

Golden Moon True Monarchʼs thoughts raced, but she didnʼt act impulsively.

Just recently, she had received news from the Righteous Dao Alliance.

Lan Changʼanʼs fourth-rank spirit pet had actually fought True Monarch Yin to a draw in a friendly spar.

Coupled with Lan Changʼanʼs feat of slaying Black Feather True Monarchʼs avatar, his personal combat prowess was undoubtedly extraordinary.

This master and pet duoʼs status in the Righteous Dao Alliance was second only to Alliance Leader Chu Tianfeng, it was a threat to ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

Out of sight, out of mind. If Lan Changʼan could offer enough benefits, letting him take Xia Wenyue away might not be a bad idea.

In a few more years, Xia Wenyue would miss her optimal age for forming a Nascent Soul, and Proud Moon Palace couldnʼt gather a second Nascent Soul opportunity in the short term.

”Sincerity? Given my status and strength within the Righteous Dao Alliance, taking in a Core Formation female cultivator with no hope of forming a Nascent Soul as my concubine and forming marital ties with Proud Moon Palace, is that not significant enough?”

Lan Changʼan put on an act, speaking dismissively.

He naturally knew that Golden Moon True Monarchʼs so-called ”sincerity” referred to sufficient benefits, like a bride price in the mortal world.

Lan Changʼanʼs attitude made Golden Moon True Monarchʼs expression darken.

She cursed inwardly: This old turtle has no shame, actually trying to get something for nothing! No wonder Wenyue refused!

Suppressing her anger, Golden Moon True Monarch didnʼt lash out.

Lan Changʼan and his spirit pet far surpassed her in strength, and their standing in the Righteous Dao Alliance was too significant.

Amid the demonic invasion, such a powerful Nascent Soul expert should be befriended, not antagonized.

Lan Changʼan and his pet had considerable freedom. Once the demonic war reignited, they could choose which faction to support first.

The matter of taking a concubine wasnʼt discussed further.

Earlier, Lan Changʼan had instructed Xia Wenyue to keep it secret, adjust her condition, and wait for the right moment to attempt forming her Nascent Soul in one go.

Once she succeeded, Golden Moon True Monarch wouldnʼt be able to stop her even if she wanted to.

”True Monarch Lan slaying Black Feather True Monarchʼs physical body and obtaining the Black Heaven Wing magical treasure gave Beast King Valley an excuse for threats and retaliation, suddenly straining relations between the factions. This palace master has a method that could ease tensions between both sides.”

As a peace faction player, Golden Moon True Monarch wanted to persuade Lan Changʼan.

”Oh? What brilliant strategy does the Palace Master have?”

Lan Changʼan looked at her in surprise.

”That Black Heaven Wing treasure canʼt display its true power in True Monarch Lanʼs hands. Why not let the Righteous Dao Alliance purchase it in exchange for a more suitable magical treasure? Then the Alliance can return the Black Heaven Wings to Beast King Valley to ease the tension between the factions. True Monarch Lan wouldnʼt suffer any losses either.”

Golden Moon True Monarch analyzed rationally, proposing a compromise.

Hearing this, Lan Changʼan was inwardly shocked, finding it unbelievable.

Though he knew Golden Moon True Monarch was a of the peace faction, he hadnʼt expected her to be so biased.

The Righteous Dao Allianceʼs public assets were pooled resources from the three nationsʼ many factions.

Such a plan was practically equivalent to ceding territory and paying indemnities to appease Beast King Valleyʼs anger.
