327: Ruthless Bai Jinmeng: Underestimated? Suppressing the nation's destiny is a gamble

Four Symbols Island replied that its owner agreed to receive the emperors of the Four Great Empires.

For a time, the Four Great Empires, having received the news, saw the tense atmosphere in their countries slightly ease.

The current Four Symbols Island possesses a power so immense it makes people tremble with fear; each of their Empires' armies only has two to three billion Cultivators in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, while Four Symbols Island has over fifty billion.

Destroying them would be incredibly easy!

Especially according to reports from scouts, a large number of Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators are continuously emerging from the Dragon Heaven Palace branch. Since Long Aotian appeared on Four Symbols Island, nearly a billion Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators have poured into Four Symbols Island every day. In just a few days, the number of Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators on Four Symbols Island has increased by nearly ten billion.

News from Four Symbols Island constantly pricked their nerves, making their scalps tingle.

After receiving the news that Long Aotian agreed to meet them, the emperors of the Four Great Empires could no longer sit still. However, they didn't dare to just show up so brazenly. They began to rack their brains to carefully select a heavyweight national treasure for Long Aotian, to present as an offering.

Four Symbols Island, Dragon Heaven Sub-Palace.

The emperors of the Four Great Empires, like a shy maiden partially concealing her Face with a pipa, took several days to finally gather.

If not for Long Aotian knowing through his Divine Sense that these guys were agonizing over what treasures to offer him, he would have long since dragged them directly from their imperial palaces.

Considering they were monarchs of their respective nations, a few days' delay was fine; he would give them some Face.

The first to present a treasure was Bai Jinmeng, the Emperor of the White Tiger Empire, who most hated Long Aotian for throwing him into the sea. Before he could even speak to offer his gift, Zhu Yanjue, the Emperor of the Vermilion Bird Empire, couldn't help but retort, "Bai Jinmeng, you're not going to give Immortal Lord a cart of watermelons, are you?"

"..."

Bai Jinmeng's Face instantly darkened: "My White Tiger Empire's specialty is large, round watermelons, with few seeds, juicy, red flesh, and a sandy texture. Take a bite, and it's crisp and sweet. What's wrong with bringing a cart of them to Immortal Lord?"

Zhu Yanjue had actually guessed correctly!

Indeed, this fellow had brought a cart of watermelons this time. This was the gift he had most advocated for, despite dissenting opinions, and now his old rival Zhu Yanjue had scorned him. How could his expression be pleasant?

He was a dignified Immortal Lord Realm expert; what kind of treasures had he not seen? Or rather, among the mortal things of the Lower Realm, what could possibly catch the Dharma Eye of a lofty Immortal Lord Realm expert?

Presenting Medicinal Pills, Magical Artifacts, and other Cultivation resources used by Cultivators from the Lower Realm was clearly unsuitable.

He actually thought sending watermelons was quite good!

This was one of the results they had deliberated over for several days in the White Tiger Empire, and now, before it was even presented, Zhu Yanjue had ridiculed him, truly filling him with anger, fury, and hatred.

"..."

Beside them, Xuan Shuifang, the Emperor of the Black Tortoise Empire, and Qing Musheng, the Emperor of the Azure Dragon Empire, both held back their laughter. This Bai Jinmeng fellow was definitely a Prodigy in the art of gift-giving.

"Hmph!"

Seeing everyone mock him, Bai Jinmeng was extremely annoyed, then his heart hardened, and he made a decision that shocked the other three emperors: "Besides a cart of watermelons, my White Tiger Empire also offers a White Tiger Divine Beast Egg!

This is the supreme treasure that suppresses the national destiny of my White Tiger Empire!

I heard that your three Empires also each have a Divine Beast Egg that suppresses national destiny. I wonder if you are willing to take out your Divine Beast Egg and offer it to Immortal Lord?

Or are you saying that you don't even put Immortal Lord in your eyes, and are unwilling to offer your most important treasure?"

"..."

Zhu Yanjue, Qing Musheng, and Xuan Shuifang's expressions all changed drastically upon hearing this. Had this Bai Jinmeng gone mad?

He even dared to give away a supreme treasure that suppressed national destiny?

The three of them listened with pounding hearts, their Faces turning a mix of green and red.

If looks could kill, Bai Jinmeng would have been killed ten thousand times over by the three of them at that moment.

Bai Jinmeng's action undoubtedly forced them all into a dilemma!

They were not as generous as Bai Jinmeng when it came to the Divine Beast Egg that suppressed national destiny, to just give it away in a fit of anger. But Bai Jinmeng had already given his, and he had also stated that their three nations each had a Divine Beast Egg.

If they didn't offer theirs, how would Long Aotian view them?

"White Tiger Divine Beast Egg?"

Long Aotian's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Yes, Immortal Lord."

Seeing that Long Aotian was also quite interested, Bai Jinmeng couldn't help but glance at the three emperors, whose noses were almost twisted out of shape from anger, and explained with a half-smile: "Every ten million years, the Immortal Martial Continent has an opening of the Four Symbols Secret Realm, which is very mysterious. This White Tiger Divine Beast Egg was brought out of the Four Symbols Secret Realm by the founding emperor of our White Tiger Empire tens of millions of years ago.

For tens of millions of years, our White Tiger Empire has tried every method but failed to hatch it. However, it can be confirmed that it is indeed a living egg, and the egg also contains a sacred and immortal aura, so our White Tiger Empire has regarded it as a supreme treasure that suppresses national destiny.

Along with the White Tiger Divine Beast Egg, the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast Egg, Black Tortoise Divine Beast Egg, and Azure Dragon Divine Beast Egg were also brought out! They were also regarded as supreme treasures that suppress national destiny by the other three nations."

"..."

"Hmm, Bai Jinmeng, you are very good. From now on, your White Tiger Empire will be protected by Dragon Heaven Palace. All forces on Four Symbols Island will not interfere with your White Tiger Empire! As long as Dragon Heaven Palace exists for one day, the White Tiger Empire will never be destroyed!"

"Bai Jinmeng thanks Immortal Lord for his protection!"

Although giving away the supreme treasure that suppressed national destiny also made Bai Jinmeng feel a great pang of regret, and he even regretted making this decision, now hearing Long Aotian say he would protect his White Tiger Empire from destruction, Bai Jinmeng's eyes immediately lit up again.

With Four Symbols Island standing in front, it would be difficult for his White Tiger Empire to perish in the future.

In that case, what did it matter to their White Tiger Empire whether they had a supreme treasure that suppressed national destiny or not?

"..."

The other three emperors' expressions all changed slightly upon hearing this.

Long Aotian's words were very thought-provoking. First, he praised Bai Jinmeng, then he vowed to protect the White Tiger Empire.

They couldn't imagine if the gifts they offered failed to satisfy Long Aotian, would it mean their Empires were not far from destruction?
