Book 36, Daolord of the Fourth Step, Chapter 18 – Naked Extortion
“Daoist Bluestone has far more treasures than the rest of us” Emperor Goldface smiled when he saw the offer Daoist Bluestone had a Sword Dao] technique is just a technique; showing it off to a few more people won’t cause you to incur any losses, Daolord Darknorth We naturally will make sure you are properly compensated for it, and you can always use a few ht? As a Daolord, you haven’t trained for all that long You probably don’t have many treasures yet, eh?”
Ji Ning frowned Why was this E? “It’s not for you to lecture a Sword Dao] to, E’s voice was ice-cold, devoid of his earlier humility
Ehtened “You…”
“I iemons, Emperor Goldisle, and E didn’t even look at Elance at the other reatest desire I have had ever sincemy Dao-companion! However… only an Autarch can do it Thus, if soh treasure to ask an Autarch to intervene on a Sword Dao for him to view”
“Ask an Autarch to intervene?” The three Hege watched carefully, only to see that all of the major poere completely silent
A while later, the distant Daoist Bluestone finally spoke out: “Fellow Daoist Darknorth, asking an Autarch to help out is no easy task If all three Hegeht have just barely enough to get an Autarch to intervene Although I was fortunate enough to acquire soet an Autarch to intervene The materials to create a Black E treasures won’t be enough Brightshore, Windrain, Netherlily… would you three Hege to ith me to come up with the sum needed to approach an Autarch? Darknorth, would that work for you?”
“That’s fine” Ning pondered for aDaoist Bluestone and the three Hege Yu Wei, anything would be worth it
“I can probably provide thirty to forty percent of the value needed to ask an Autarch to intervene” Daoist Bluestone looked towards the other three Hegemons “Can you three jointly come up with the sixty or so percent needed?”
“That’s too emon Netherlily shook her head
“That’s a lot to ask Invite an Autarch to help out? I’ve never even seen an Autarch!” Hegeh I think we’ll pass”
“Yes, we’ll pass” Hegehtshore shook his head as well
Daoist Bluestone was startled for a“I’a Sword Dao] is extreemon level, it is of much more limited use to the three of you”
Ning understood as going on Daoist Bluestone, Emperor Goldface, Empress Jade Phoenix, Emperor Blackcloud, and Eeemons?
Their Daos would need to advance by an absolutely huge amount before they could reach the inconceivably powerful level of Autarchy This ‘step’ was as vast as the gap between heaven and earth Although the [O had thus far only developed it to the fourth-step Daolord level A a Sword Dao] would be of liehts to reach Autarchy
It must be reeh to invite an Autarch to help out To have the three of them jointly come up with sixty percent of the necessary funds represented the themselves For them to sacrifice the a Sword Dao]… the three Hege
“How e “Fellow Daoist Darknorth, I’ve already offered as much as I can! To ask an Autarch to help out is just far too difficult Perhaps the only person belonging to the Fla is E the outside world There’s no way to even locate him… and even if you soive you that eea Sword Dao] would be of limited use to him”
Ning understood His [Oemons; it was of far more interest to the Eht to break through it to reach Hegemony
“Well, you know ive you the vastto do anything you ask me to do” Daoist Bluestone smiled “If you decide to accept, you can come seek me out whenever you wish”
The Dao which Daoist Bluestone had chosen was the Dao of Black and White Black and white… they encoood, darkness and light They were all-e His mindset was quite calm and even – acquire what he could, but not to force what he could not
