C465 Struggle for treasure
When the audience saw this scene, they were shocked. With Murong Qing's position, even a simple apology would be a huge amount of face, but he had actually paid them back for such actions. It was simply inconceivable.
"Senior, you are being too serious. This junior is only speaking the truth. If I have offended you in any way, senior, please forgive me." Ouyang Qingtian responded, he bowed to Murong Qing, the etiquette was extremely thorough, making people unable to find anything wrong with it.
Murong Guangzhao's eyes flashed, and he cupped his fists towards Ouyang Qingtian: "Since that's the case, then Brother Ouyang, please calculate. No matter what the result is, it has nothing to do with Brother Ouyang."
Ouyang Qingtian nodded lightly, then said: "I still need some seniors to help me set up the array, I don't know …"
"I've already told them about this, so just make the request and leave the rest to us." Murong Qing immediately replied.
"Then I'll be troubling you seniors." Ouyang Qingtian bowed to the group once again, then retrieved a square piece of jade from the spatial ring, and said: "This jade was carved by my Master, it contains a formation, which can help me open my Heaven's Eyes, and look at the various stars, I hope that the various seniors will guard the various corners of the formation."
"Little friend, you may begin." Xu Xiong said with some anticipation. He wanted to see just what sort of mysteries the array formation on the jade was, to actually be able to open the Heaven's Eyes.
Ouyang Qingtian closed his eyes slightly, he started chanting and both of his hands formed seals, looking extremely solemn and serious, as though he was doing something extremely solemn. Everyone kept quiet, and were looking at Ouyang Qingtian attentively.
"Open." Ouyang Qingtian abruptly opened his eyes and threw the jade high up into the air. An instant later, an extremely resplendent Star Light appeared on the jade, causing the spectators' eyes to flicker.
Countless rays of starlight shot out from the precious jade, engulfing the entire space and intersecting with each other. Streaks of complicated runes appeared, as though they were an ancient design, revolving unceasingly, filling the space. Brilliant lights circulated around them, lighting up the pitch-black night sky.
Subsequently, an incomparably large spirit array loomed in and out of existence in the sky. At a glance, it looked like a starfield and was incomparably vast. From within, an ethereal aura suffused out, making one unable to fathom it.
The moment the formation appeared, everyone's expression changed and their hearts fiercely shook. Murong Qing's eyes were filled with excitement; this formation, was actually a miniature version of the Nine Profound Star Diagram!
Every time martial cultivator makes a breakthrough, his soul will leave his body, break through the shackles of the world, and go outside for nine days to challenge the soul body on the Nine Profound Star Map.
Yet at this moment, to their surprise, they discovered that the formation array formation within the jade was ninety percent similar to the Nine Mystical Star Map. Although it was only a tiny miniature, it still gave them a sense of familiarity, as though their souls had returned to that transcendent state.
"Excuse me, little friend, do you have any more jade with you? I am willing to pay a high price for it!" Xu Xiong suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Ouyang Qingtian with fiery eyes.
"This old thing, his attacks are really fast!" Many of the almighty figures cursed in hushed tones, but none of them were willing to fall behind. One by one, they spoke out, "We are willing to pay the same price."
Murong Qing's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, and he said indifferently: "Everyone, don't forget, little friend Ouyang was invited by me, and even if you want to buy it, it is still owned by the Mu Rong family."
"Brother Murong's words are funny. Since ancient times, people with high prices have always gotten one. Xu Xiong sneered. If he were to encounter such a treasure, how could he give it up?
"That's right. Such treasures should be shared. Only those with high prices would be able to understand." Some of the Patriarchs also spoke out with ulterior motives. They all stood on the same side in an instant. They definitely couldn't allow the Mu Rong family to have such a unique treasure.
"Very good, you've really given this old man a lot of face. I've remembered today's matter." Murong Qing's eyes turned cold, he then looked at Ouyang Qingtian and cupped his fists: "I wonder if little friend still has such a treasure?"
Ouyang Qingtian laughed, that smile was very profound, no one could understand that he did not own the jade, but rather, gave it to him. Qin Xuan said that as long as he opened the array formation inside the jade, there was hope for him to cultivate in it.
At the time, he still didn't dare believe it, but now, he was incomparably convinced that the treasure that even the Yuanhuang Expert was fighting to obtain was extraordinary.
"I'm sorry, but I only have one piece of this precious jade." Ouyang Qingtian replied with an extremely calm tone.
"What?" When the great elders heard this, they were stunned for a moment, but they quickly came to a realization as they stared at Ouyang Qingtian. They were old monsters that had lived for close to a thousand years, they were not so easy to fool.
"Little friend, don't joke around. If you still have that precious jade on you, we will pay a high price to buy it. We will not treat you unfairly. You can rest assured on this point." One of the clan leaders laughed, appearing extremely amiable. However, that smile, no matter who saw it, would feel that it was fake.
"I am not deceiving you seniors. There is indeed only one piece of this jade." Ouyang Qingtian repeated himself, with a helpless look on his face.
"Little friend, why do you say that?" Xu Xiong's eyes shone with a sharp light, he stared at Ouyang Qingtian and asked.
Ouyang Qingtian sighed and explained: "I have already told everyone just now, that this jade was bestowed by my Master. Currently, my Master is roaming the four seas, and I have long disappeared, but Master has already said that he could only bring one jade no matter what."
"This jade is so precious, why can I only bring one?" Many people asked in confusion.
Murong Guangzhao's eyes flickered, as if he understood something, and said: "It's to protect Brother Ouyang's life."
A look of surprise flashed across Ouyang Qingtian's eyes when he heard this, he nodded towards Murong Xun and praised: "Brother Murong is indeed intelligent, I admire you."
With Murong Guangzhao's reminder, many people started to understand that Ouyang Qingtian did not have any cultivation at all. If he brought along many treasures and exposed them, things like what happened just now would definitely happen, leading to a fight among the almighty people. Wouldn't that bring about a fatal disaster for Ouyang Qingtian?
After thinking about it, everyone could not help but sigh. They admired Ouyang Qingtian's Master for his foresight, he was truly worthy of being the Celestial Master Xiang.
"I have something that puzzled me, could Brother Ouyang please explain?" Murong Guangzhao suddenly asked Ouyang Qingtian.
"Feel free to speak." Ouyang Qingtian smiled slightly, a wise and farsighted look flashing deep within his eyes. He had long since figured out what would happen after obtaining the jade, so he naturally wouldn't be stumped by it.
