Chapter 533 - 533 Origin Stone
533 Origin Stone
Ao Tianyun tapped his fingers on the counter and asked casually.
Actually, when Zhou Han entered the range of the Cloud Void Sacred Palace, Ao Tianyun had sent people to investigate his whereabouts.
As for why he did this, Ao Tianyun could not help but look at Ao Zhen.
It was all for his precious daughter.
Back then, after finding Ao Zhen, he already knew about her relationship with Zhou Han.
If not for Ao Zhen stopping him in all ways, Ao Tianyun would probably have slapped Zhou Han to death at that time.
One could imagine the anger in his heart when the daughter of the Saint Emperor was treated like that.
At this moment, Ao Zhen heard Zhou Han’s news. As expected, her unhappy face immediately perked up.
“It’s Zhou Han? Is it really him?” Ao Zhen’s eyes flickered. The longing in her heart subconsciously surged out, and bits of their relationship appeared in her mind again.
“I knew he would come for me!”
Ao Zhen had already teared up, but she was very happy. Her efforts had not been in vain. Her persistence had finally seen hope.
Originally, the Flying Serpent Saint Emperor wanted to marry Ao Zhen to the son of the Imperial Preceptor of the Cloud Void Sacred Palace. This way, he could increase and consolidate his power.
However, Ao Zhen refused no matter what, and the two sides fell into a stalemate. Only then did Ao Zhen think of a compromise, which was this marriage recruitment event.
It would cause a huge commotion. In that case, she believed that Zhou Han would definitely hear about her.
Now that her goal had finally been achieved, Ao Zhen felt very excited at the thought of reuniting. This period of time had been too difficult. It was worth it to suffer a huge grievance.
“Hmph! Don’t get ahead of yourself!”
“These are all top prodigies from the various large factions. You know very well how difficult it is for Zhou Han to enter the top ten.”
“If he doesn’t have this bit of strength to become my son-in-law, won’t I be a joke?”
Ao Tianyun was filled with resentment and was extremely unhappy with Zhou Han, so he naturally attacked mercilessly.
At that time, if Zhou Han did not enter the top ten, Ao Zhen would have to choose one of the top ten. If he did not choose, Ao Tianyun would personally make a choice.
“Father, I want to see Zhou Han now. I…”
“Hmph! Impossible. You can’t go anywhere during this period of time. How can I not know your thoughts? You want to help Zhou Han increase his strength!” Ao Tianyun rejected sternly.
“Father, I…”
Ao Zhen indeed had such thoughts. After all, when she left Zhou Han, his strength was only at the top Emperor-grade.
No matter how quickly he improved, in Ao Zhen’s opinion, he was still quite far from these top prodigies.
Therefore, she had to increase Zhou Han’s strength and ensure that he entered the top ten.
However, Ao Tianyun saw through all of this.
“Don’t forget our agreement! Allowing the marriage recruitment is already the greatest concession!”
“As for how far Zhou Han can do it, it depends on his ability!”
Ao Tianyun did not give in at all. He did not deliberately make things difficult for Zhou Han. This was already the greatest tolerance. There was no room for negotiation about anything else.
“What preparations does Zhou Han have now?” Ao Zhen hurriedly asked the guard.
“Your Highness, the three people with Zhou Han are preparing to go to the brothel to listen to music!” The guard hurriedly said. He was about to report just now, but when he saw the Saint Emperor and the princess arguing, he did not dare to speak.
“What?”
“Mm?”
“However, Zhou Han is not with them. Instead, he’s walking towards the north city area,” the guard hurriedly added.
Ao Zhen also heaved a sigh of relief. If her father caught her red-handed, she would probably be even more unhappy with Zhou Han.
“The north city area? Looks like he’s preparing to try his luck!” Ao Tianyun said indifferently.
“I hope his luck improves!”
“In that case, there’s only a chance of entering the top ten!” Ao Zhen also prayed in her heart.
…
Under the lead of the Flying Serpent Guard, Zhou Han looked in that direction. Unknowingly, he did not expect to come to the north city area.
“By the way, what’s in the north city area?” Zhou Han asked.
“Speaking of the North City District, I have to emphasize it!”
“The north city area is very close to the Saintly Source Mountain, so all the Origin Stones produced from the Saintly Source Mountain will be transported to the north city area. Over time, that place has become the most popular place for Origin Stone transactions. We…”
“Oh? Is there anything special about the Origin Stone?” Hearing the Flying Serpent Guard’s vivid words, Zhou Han asked with interest.
This was the first time Zhou Han had heard of Origin Stones when he came to the Godfiend Continent. It was a little unfamiliar.
However, since the guard emphasized it, there was naturally something extraordinary about it.
“Let me put it this way! Origin stones can only be produced from the Saintly Source Mountain. They are only unique to my Cloud Void Sacred Palace.”
“Origin stones are also known as Divine Sources. They’re a very magical stone. Forgive me for being shallow, but I’m not very sure how they were formed.”
“Nowadays, it’s commonly believed to be the origin of the universe. The remaining power has evolved over endless years.”
“All kinds of items are sealed in the Origin Stone. There are many types. They might be extremely powerful Dharma treasures or worthless ordinary items. What can be obtained depends on one’s luck.”
At the mention of Origin Stones, the Flying Serpent Guard was very excited and explained endlessly.
“Luck? Logically speaking, with so many experts, can’t they sense what kind of sealing items are in the Origin Stone?” Zhou Han asked.
“This is the wonder of the Origin Stone. No one can detect the items sealed inside. Even Sovereign-grade experts can’t do it,” the guard replied.
Zhou Han found it a little funny. Wasn’t this like stone gambling? However, it was what he obtained from it that changed from jade to a sealed item.
It still sounded very interesting.
He was very interested in items like Origin Stones. He naturally had to see such a magical thing.
“I wonder if my Samsara Heavenly Eye can identify the sealed item inside the Origin Stone!” Zhou Han smiled and thought to himself.
“Master Zhou, why don’t I show you?”
Seeing a trace of interest on Zhou Han’s face, the guard hurriedly said.
“Alright, lead the way!” Zhou Han nodded.
As the guard guided him, the white-clouded street became livelier. There were constant shouts from the shops on both sides of the street.
“Take a look. Take a look. It’s an authentic Old Pit Origin Stone. It’s definitely good. It’s at least Supreme-grade!”
“I’ll sell it for a cheap price. Two million gold coins. I only want two million. You won’t lose out with two million. You won’t be fooled with two million!”
“Do you want to change your fate? Do you want to experience the feeling of becoming rich? Let’s come to the Origin Stone Tavern!”
…
Zhou Han also looked over. There was a strange stone placed at the entrance of the shop. It was of different sizes. The small one was the size of a pebble, and the big one was like a small mountain.
Without exception, the stone flickered with a pure white luster. A mysterious light was slowly flowing. Just looking at it from the outside, one would feel that it was unusual.
“Is this an Origin Stone?”
