"He is dead for sure! The Ao Clan ancestor's spirit had slashed his mortal body with the Coiling Dragon Sword. That Kun Peng magnate cultivator's mortal body and Yuan Shen is not strong enough to fight off the power of the Coiling Dragon Sword left in his body and soon, he would not have lasted long before his Yuan Shen disintegrated…."

All of a sudden, Xin Huo was stunned, he realized the reason why Zhong Yue chose the Peng feather, exclaiming in shock, "You are aiming for the Divine Wing Saber?"

Zhong Yue smiled and said, "After that Kun Peng Race magnate died, the Divine Wing Saber would be an unclaimed treasure. This Kun Peng Race magnate would not go to Sha Qishan nor the other Kun Peng Race experts as they are all now hunted by the Eastern Sea dragon race. If he approaches to them, there is a possibility that they will lose the Divine Wing Saber again. Furthermore, if Sha Qishan can betray the dragon race, he can also betray the Kun Peng Race, which was why he didn't fully trust Sha Qishan either. Hence, I think that he would have hidden hide away the Divine Wing Saber, and wait for the arrivals of the next batch of Kun Peng experts to come and take away the Divine Wing Saber."

Xin Huo was thrilled, he said, "And you've chose this Peng feather which is a part of the Divine Wing Saber, as long as you release it, this Peng feather would find its way back to the Divine Wing Saber! Which means, we can use it to find the saint weapon of the Kun Peng Race…."

A saint weapon!

They were the divine weapons among the divine weapons!

Just thinking of it makes them shudder in excitement!

Zhong Yue forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "But there is a problem, the Divine Wing Saber's godly aura is incredibly strong, it won't be easy to bring it away."

The Divine Wing Saber was a divine weapon that was on par with the dragon race's Coiling Dragon Sword, even getting close to it would be incredibly difficult. With Zhong Yue's prowess now, he would be disintegrated into dust by the godly aura before he would even get close to it!

Xin Huo was also troubled, suddenly, he said, "Did you bring that copper lamp of mine?"

Zhong Yue nodded, the copper lamp was placed in the medicine basket before he was an Awakening Qi Practitioner, and now, he was storing it his Yuan Shen realms. Although the realms were not very big, they were sufficient to store smaller items like soul weapons and the like.

"It's good that you've brought along the copper lamp, that lamp of mine was forged by the first Sui Sovereign, the space in it that stores the lamp oil can easily contain even the thousand mile long Divine Wing Saber!"

Xin Huo pondered and continued, "Now, the only issue is that you can't pick the Divine Wing Saber up, you can't even use this saint weapon."

"What? How big is the space inside of the copper lamp?"

Zhong Yue was stunned, he never thought that the space inside of the copper lamp would be so huge. The Divine Wing Saber was a thousand miles long and Xin Huo said the copper lamp could easily contain it; clearly, the copper lamp was not as simple as it appeared to be at first glance!

"I'll keep the Divine Wing Saber in the copper lamp for now, because one day in the future, I'll definitely be able to wield it!"

As he stopped to discuss with Xin Huo in his psyche ocean, Ao Longan thought that he was hesitating about his decision on the Peng feather, shocked and anxious, Ao Longan quickly said, "You can only choose one. And once you've chosen, you can't change your decision! So, why aren't you moving now?"

Zhong Yue and Ao Longan walked out of the Million Treasure Pavilion, both of them were content with the outcome of this trip. Right away, as Ao Longan have chased Zhong Yue away from the Million Treasure Pavilion, he immediately went back to the golden palace to report to the clan master.

The elderly clan master laughed, "Well done! That Peng feather can't be repaired without the Kun Peng totem patterns, it has been left in the Million Treasure Pavilion for tens of thousands of years and no one would ever be able to make it shine again. It should've been thrown away a long time ago. Junior Martial Brother Longan, you've rendered a significant merit by being able to sacrifice trash for a treasure!"

Ao Longan was also overjoyed, he said smilingly, "This is all because of the greed of that little human brat's heart. He might've thought that the Peng feather is extraordinary as it was part of the Kun Peng Race saint weapon, but little did he knew, that he had just wasted a huge opportunity done by choosing it."

"Humans … always so lacking in foresight."

The elderly clan master laughed, "The other four clans are still suppressing that Sha Qishan's rebellion. New intelligence has just arrived, the Kun Peng experts that teleported here have been annihilated, but the severely wounded Sha Qishan managed to escape to the demon territory across the seas. The dragon race and the demon race hold a deep enmity against one another. There is a great risk in hunting for him in the land of the demons. The four clans are coming to the Dragon City for a round of discussion on whether or not we should send five magnates with five divine weapons into the land of demons to take down that traitor. Furthermore, the Ancestral Dragon Ritual of the dragon race is drawing near, we will also have to discuss about the details and nominate the candidates for the quota of dragons!"

Ao Longan nodded, these two matters were of great importance, they must be carried out without a single mistake.

Especially the Ancestral Dragon Ritual, they would have to choose the best dragons in the levels in the Spirit Nurturing to Inner Core level; in this grandest ritual of the dragon race, the dragons would have to go through a series of bone-rattling battles before the Ancestral Dragon would bestow his blessings to the best dragons of each level!

"This Zhong Shan Clan member is very greedy, how dare he thinks of taking part in the ritual to gain the blessings from the Ancestral Dragon, he is destined to return disappointed."

The elderly clan master smiled, "But I did promise him a spot, and the dragons never go back on our words. He will be given a spot but if he was defeated in the battles, he can only blame himself for his lack of ability. Also, remember to keep close watch of him, the other clans must not be able to get in touch with him! And one last thing, what was said here, stays here; his identity as a human must not be exposed, as this is his secret that the Ao Clan will use to subdue him! If the other clans knew about it, he will no longer be ours to control!"
