Chapter 318: Enlightenment Immortal Tree
Miao Yu, located hundreds of celestial domains away, quickly received the transmission report from Ding Rui.
"What?"
"Buy as many as there are?"
"Does he not know how many Immortal Fate Orders Celestial Pavilion has?"
"What exactly is this person trying to do..."
Miao Yu didn't doubt that Sect Leader Jiang could afford it.
She just couldn't understand this decision.
Buying all the Immortal Fate Orders was practically declaring war against the entire Middle Immortal World.
Others are afraid of being besieged by multiple forces, even those with profound backgrounds, like the Ancient Immortal Sects and Demon Sects, are no exception.
This person is quite peculiar, as if he's afraid the Middle Immortal World won't join forces against him.
One Immortal Fate Order costs 100,000 Immortal Crystals, which is nothing to Celestial Pavilion.
But when the number reaches tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, that's not small.
Especially since the Immortal Fate Order itself carries significant meaning; it's a 'ticket' to the Upper Immortal Realm.
For this reason, all twelve Immortal Kings of Celestial Pavilion were alarmed.
The question before them was simple — to sell or not to sell?
"We can sell, but not too many."
"If we sell them all to him, Celestial Pavilion will incur the displeasure of the entire Middle Immortal World."
"This could negatively impact our other businesses."
The first to speak was Du Chen Immortal King, the head president of the Middle Immortal World, who has been an Immortal King for billions of years. He's a true antique, with unfathomable power.
His words received agreement from many Immortal Kings.
"Indeed, selling all the Immortal Fate Orders to one party will offend too many people."
"Moreover, bringing a group of people without any cultivation talent up there contradicts the original intention of the Upper Immortal Realm selecting elites..."
However, there were opposing voices.
Ji Ming Immortal King, who oversees the daily affairs of Celestial Pavilion, shook his head.
"You're overthinking it, with so many Immortal Fate Orders, no one can hold onto them forever."
"By the final decade, they will inevitably be stolen and divided."
"Things will be as they should be, and the Immortal Fate Orders will eventually end up in the hands of those meant to have them."
"Whether ten thousand people each buy one, or one person buys tens of thousands, we earn the same, there's no difference."
"Selling to one party is still a sale, isn't it?"
"If we arbitrarily change the rules and refuse to sell, that would actually ruin our reputation!"
His words also received nods of agreement from many elders.
But Du Chen Immortal King still held his ground.
"I believe that the ancestor of the Feixian Sect is not foolish, he should know that he can't hold onto so many Immortal Fate Orders."
"Yet he still spent a fortune to buy them."
"Why is he doing this?"
"Such unusual behavior must have a secret agenda behind it!"
"If we agree to sell to him, we are essentially assisting him in completing that unknown plan."
Ji Ming Immortal King was indifferent.
"No matter what schemes he's plotting, it has nothing to do with us!"
The two sides quickly began to debate.
Sitting at the top, Miao Yu just listened quietly, as she was the one who would make the final decision.
It wasn't until both sides had argued sufficiently that she finally spoke.
"This person definitely has a hidden agenda."
"But as a business, we shouldn't refuse trade without reason."
"Coincidentally, the Enlightenment Immortal Tree is about to reappear, and we could use the sale of the Immortal Fate Orders as goodwill to gain his cooperation."
"This..."
"The Enlightenment Immortal Tree?"
Upon hearing these four words, the Immortal Kings present all showed unusual expressions.
The originally most vehemently opposed Du Chen Immortal King was silent.
He'd been in seclusion for fifty million years, and the Immortal Fate Orders, sold once every hundred thousand years, couldn't have disturbed him.
The main reason for his choice to exit seclusion was indeed the Enlightenment Immortal Tree's emergence.
This is a once-in-fifty-million-years opportunity, of great significance to every Immortal King.
Ye Yang Immortal King was the first to express approval: "This person already has 12 Immortal King Level experts by his side. If he is willing to cooperate, it'll be a huge help to us!"
Ji Ming Immortal King also said: "Having allies can help us go further during the Enlightenment Immortal Tree journey!"
"Indeed, those 12 by his side are not to be underestimated; they are immensely useful!"
"Xiao Kun Demon King and Immortal King Wu Jue's power could very well be second only to the president!"
"They are definitely strong reinforcements!"
Finally, Du Chen Immortal King nodded.
"We can consider it."
Three days later, Miao Yu arrived once more at the Danhua City branch.
"Currently, there are 303,621 Immortal Fate Orders across all Celestial Pavilion branches. Are you sure you want them all?"
After the last meeting, she thought there wouldn't be another opportunity to meet.
Looking at the overly beautiful female immortal in front of him, Brother Cheng smiled and nodded.
"That's right, if you have more, that would be even better!"
Even 300,000 isn't enough to satisfy his appetite?
The few people in the room were speechless.
Honestly, even the Three Great Corpse Kings, Wu Jue, Mingchi, and other Immortal Kings behind him didn't understand why he wanted so many.
Miao Yu, of course, understood even less.
But she also knew Jiang Cheng definitely wouldn't answer.
"You want too many, it's difficult for us."
"Really?"
Brother Cheng stood up, this was indeed what he was most worried about.
Having Immortal Crystals but no one willing to sell, he was at a loss.
"Your Celestial Pavilion doesn't seem to limit the number of purchases, you won't even earn money?"
Miao Yu said calmly: "Selling all these Immortal Fate Orders to one person does pose great risks and criticisms for Celestial Pavilion."
Brother Cheng shrugged and sat back down.
"So, are you setting conditions?"
"Then just say it directly."
Miao Yu looked him straight in the eye and spoke slowly: "We want an opportunity for cooperation with you!"
"What kind of cooperation?"
"The Enlightenment Immortal Tree!"
Brother Cheng was taken aback, looking confused.
"What Enlightenment Immortal Tree?"
This reaction caught Miao Yu off guard.
She had considered Jiang Cheng possibly refusing, or readily agreeing, or negotiating terms, but never expected his ignorance.
In the Middle Immortal Realm, anyone with some knowledge and status should know about the Enlightenment Immortal Tree, right?
He, who had dealings with 12 Immortal Kings, seemed like a long-standing figure; how could he possibly have no idea?
But soon, he heard Immortal King Wu Jue quickly explaining to Jiang Cheng.
"Sect Leader Jiang might not know, the so-called Enlightenment Immortal Tree is a major opportunity for all Immortal Kings."
"It greatly helps in shaping the Immortal Country!"
"It happens once every fifty million years, I went there last time but, regrettably, couldn't enter..."
"Entering the Enlightenment Immortal Tree requires a certain level of power."
"And it's said in that tree world, there will be further competition, so some Immortal Kings choose to join forces."
Seemingly understanding, Brother Cheng nodded: "So that's how it is!"
Miao Yu was speechless.
So, before this, he truly didn't know at all?
What on earth is this person?
He seems to have an unimaginably large background, yet lacks even such basic knowledge?
Realizing the other party needed him, Brother Cheng immediately found his footing.
"Our people definitely can't show up for nothing, right?"
He smiled, rubbing his fingers together: "Since you need us, shouldn't the Immortal Fate Orders be free?"
