Chapter 320: Chapter 319: Sea Suppressing Jade Talisman
Huo Shu took out the Sea Suppressing Jade Talisman and passed it to Su Xianmei.
Su Xianmei examined it, and after ensuring its authenticity, handed it over to Hua Qinghai.
Holding the Sea Suppressing Jade Talisman, the patterns amazed Hua Qinghai. This work of exquisite craftsmanship astonished him, especially the power held within, which was enough to suppress the heavens.
"Is this what Huo Shu transported from the Imperial Capital?" Lin Bai expressed his bewilderment.
After examining it for a while, Hua Qinghai returned the Sea Suppressing Jewel to Su Xianmei, saying, "Indeed, it is the Sea Suppressing Jade Talisman, but the Flower Clan didn’t purchase it alone."
"And to be precise, my clan doesn’t have enough resources to afford it."
Upon hearing this, Su Xianmei was stunned, and curiously asked, "Then who wants to purchase the Sea Suppressing Jade Talisman?"
"All of the martial artists in the East Sea," Hua Qinghai answered solemnly.
Su Xianmei said, "Island Master Hua, what exactly is going on? Can you explain? When you wanted to buy the Sea Suppressing Jade Talisman, you only mentioned something about a Great Demon. What is this all about?"
Hua Qinghai shook his head helplessly and spoke, "Envoy, as you are not often in the East Sea, you are not aware of this matter. Actually, this isn’t a secret in the East Sea."
"A long, long time ago, a massive hole opened up in the Eastern Sea’s sky, and a shadowy figure fell from the heavens, causing a colossal tsunami."
"Then, a giant palm descended from outside the sky, imprinted on the East Sea, draining all the spiritual energy in a moment, thus forming a powerful seal."
"Since then, there has been a tale in the East Sea about the sealing of a Great Demon."
"In fact, this tale is true!"
"There indeed is a Great Demon sealed in the East Sea."
Hua Qinghai declared solemnly.
Hearing the term ’Great Demon’, Lin Bai was also alert.
"What is a Great Demon?" Lin Bai curiously asked.
A Great Demon refers to a warrior with a Demonic Martial Soul capable of devastating heaven and earth. They all possess the power to shatter heaven and earth, able to destroy all life or renew the skies."
"To kill one person is a sin, to kill thousands is king, to kill millions is king of kings!"
If you kill tens of millions, then you can be called a Demon!"
"If you exterminate hundreds of millions, you are a Demon Lord."
"If you can devastate heaven and earth, then you can be declared a Great Demon."
"Each Great Demon possesses the power to devastate heaven and earth."
Hua Qinghai spoke.
Lin Bai nodded in silence after listening.
Hua Qinghai continued, "In the past, an ancestor of my family was once a warrior in the East Sea. He witnessed the Great Demon being sealed by a powerful being from beyond the heavens."
"Then, that powerful being commanded my ancestor and several other powerful sects of the East Sea to guard the sealed area of the Great Demon, preventing anyone from entering."
"Moreover, a Slave Seal was embedded in our blood, passed down through the family line. If my ancestor and his descendants failed to fulfill this duty, the Slave Seal will explode."
"When the Great Demon emerges, it will be the day the Slave Seal takes effect, and all the descendants of the Flower Clan will die."
Both Lin Bai and Su Xianmei began to understand upon hearing this.
The Flower Clan had no choice but to remain in the East Sea and seal the Great Demon in order to survive.
"But such a significant matter, if the Great Demon does emerge, not only the East Sea would be plunged into devastation, but the Shenwu Kingdom and even the Miracle Ridge would probably not be spared. Why didn’t you contact more powerful warriors to collectively handle this matter?" Lin Bai curiously asked.
Hua Qinghai gave a bitter smile, "Hehe, young man, suppose I ran off to the Miracle Ridge to tell those Divine Elixir Realm experts that a Great Demon is sealed in the East Sea and he is about to emerge. Would they believe me?"
Hearing Hua Qinghai’s words, Lin Bai became somber.
If Hua Qinghai really went to find the warriors of the Miracle Ridge, not only would he not get help, but those warriors might also ridicule Hua Qinghai, calling him a madman spouting nonsense.
In this remote and barren overseas region of the East Sea, how could it be possible for a Great Demon to be sealed.
"Aside from ourselves, no one else would believe our words," Hua Qinghai laughed sardonically. "In fact, if it weren’t for the word-of-mouth stories passed down from our fathers, about the Great Demon sealed within the East Sea, even I wouldn’t believe it."
"We have no choice but to turn to ourselves for help," he continued.
"We purchased the Sea Suppressing Jade Talisman at a hefty price, in the hope that it could mend the break in the seal."
Hua Qinghai said solemnly, "The fate of our Flower Clan rests entirely on this Jade Talisman."
If the Great Demon were to emerge, and the Flower Clan’s Slave Seal were to activate, every member of the Flower Clan would explode and die in an instant.
Therefore, Hua Qinghai could only place all his hopes onto this Sea Suppressing Jade Talisman.
"But how could a perfectly sealed seal break open?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
Upon hearing Lin Bai’s question, Hua Qinghai’s complexion grew darker. "We’re not sure either. A break appeared in the seal, leading to the appearance of the so-called Spiritual Spring Sea mentioned by the martial artists. We’ve tried investigating before."
"Though we didn’t discover anything definitive, judging by this break, we ascertain that it was forcibly torn open by someone from the outside."
"However, they only made a break and did not fully unlock the seal."
Hua Qinghai stated.
"It’s indeed strange. This Land of Sealing is extremely secret. Other than the current leaders of the Eight Great Clans, supposedly no one else should know about it. So, how could someone have suddenly found it?"
Hua Qinghai was perplexed.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai was also very curious. Who, indeed, wanted to release this Great Demon?
Could it be the Great Demon’s companions?
Impossible.
According to Hua Qinghai’s words, this Great Demon had been sealed here for a very long time, so long that even Hua Qinghai had lost track of time.
If these were indeed the companions of the Great Demon, why would they appear only now?
Where had they been all this time?
Su Xianmei remarked, "I am not concerned about the emergence of the Great Demon. I am only concerned about one thing. With the Sea Suppressing Jade Talisman here, who will make the final payment to the Treasure Pavilion?"
Su Xianmei was an envoy of the Treasure Pavilion. She had specially come to the East Sea this time for this Sea Suppressing Jade Talisman.
Upon hearing Su Xianmei’s tone, Lin Bai inferred that this Jade Talisman seemed to be quite valuable.
Lin Bai whispered into Su Xianmei’s ear, "How much does this Sea Suppressing Jade Talisman cost?"
Su Xianmei responded in a whisper, "56 billion Spirit Stones."
Ho!
Upon hearing this figure, Lin Bai was nearly scared out of his wits.
billion Spirit Stones!
My God! Does the total amount of Spirit Stones held by all the martial artists in the East Sea even add up to 56 billion?
No wonder Su Xianmei was so concerned about the Spirit Stones. What if the Eastern Sea Martial Artists couldn’t afford it?
"Subtracting the 6 billion Spirit Stones deposit you’ve already paid, there’s still a full 50 billion Spirit Stones outstanding," Su Xianmei calmly stated.
"Does your Flower Clan have the capacity to produce 50 billion Spirit Stones?"
Su Xianmei asked.
Hearing this figure made Hua Qinghai quiver with shock as well, laughing bitterly, "We can’t, we can’t produce that much. But Envoy, don’t worry. We will certainly not default on these Spirit Stones."
"As I’ve said before, the responsibility for these Spirit Stones does not fall solely on the Flower Clan."
"Back then, the outsider who chose to guard the seal did not only know about my Flower Clan’s Ancestor."
"Who else?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
