Chapter 273 - 236: Rewarding a Pocket World Spiritual Object! Presiding Over the Martial Arts Tournament! (Part 2)
The black mystic bird seemed almost alive, its body constantly enveloped in a mysterious, profound black glow.
With every breath and subtle movement of Empress Xia Mingyue.
The dark light on the mystic bird flickered faintly, giving Lu Xuan the illusion of facing the ruler of heaven and earth.
As Lu Xuan observed Xia Mingyue, she also scrutinized Lu Xuan.
In fact, ever since Lu Xuan entered the palace, Xia Mingyue had already seen his appearance clearly.
Even his confrontation with the inner eunuch upon entering the palace was clear to her.
Yet, when Lu Xuan truly stood before her.
The short distance brought ripples to the calm, serene heart of Xia Mingyue that had been still for many years.
If it were someone else, Xia Mingyue wouldn’t know.
But she could guarantee that in the palace, no one could deceive her senses.
This young Lu Xuan’s bone age was indeed around twenty.
Twenty years old with a Small Success in the Divine Mansion Realm!
Interesting!
Truly interesting!
Such unparalleled martial arts talent makes one feel despair!
Back then, at twenty, with the help of various royal treasures, I barely broke through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm.
Eventually, it was only with the supreme ancestral relic from the royal treasury.
That my martial arts realm advanced rapidly, breaking through numerous barriers, soaring upwards.
Could it be that this Lu Xuan also possesses unique treasures akin to my royal ancestral relic?
Inside her, Xia Mingyue’s thoughts surged and collided like crashing waves.
But her beautiful face remained as tranquil as an unwaved lake, revealing no hint of her inner thoughts.
In the next moment, Xia Mingyue turned around, showing her graceful silhouette entirely to Lu Xuan.
Her boundless black hair flowed smoothly down her back, undisturbed by any force.
Xia Mingyue turned, and then her gentle yet imposing voice, like a breeze, softly drifted to Lu Xuan’s ears again.
"Mr. Lu, previously you quelled the rebellion in the Southern Domain Nether State, your contributions are immense; I shall reward you generously!"
Seeing this, Lu Xuan adopted a solemn expression, his carefree demeanor replaced by a respectful attitude in every word and deed.
"I dare not."
After all, the people Lu Xuan encountered before were far weaker in power.
But this mysterious Empress was the strongest person he had ever met.
No matter her status, Lu Xuan handled affairs cautiously, avoiding unnecessary trouble.
After Lu Xuan spoke, the surroundings fell into a brief silence.
Empress Xia Mingyue did not immediately respond.
Slowly, she raised her alabaster-like right hand, her slender fingers opening.
Instantly, in the palm of Empress Xia Mingyue’s hand, a faint dark swirl emerged, like a nimble snake.
The swirl seemed a mysterious passage to unknown voids, captivating and profound, alerting Lu Xuan once more.
In just a breath, Lu Xuan’s eyes showed a look of shock.
Above the swirl, a box of black crystal stone gently descended from the void.
The black crystal stone box accurately hovered in Xia Mingyue’s palm.
It was small, about the size of two palms put together.
The box emitted a rich aura of Heaven and Earth Power, resonating with the swirl, conveying a deep mystery.
"Mr. Lu, during your mission you not only eradicated the White Lotus Nightmare Flower, but also slew the heretic of the Pure World White Lotus Sect."
"This is part of the reward!"
Before Lu Xuan could speak, the black crystal stone box seemed to be pulled by an invisible force.
Without any external intervention, it started to float.
Soon, it drifted away from Xia Mingyue’s grasp, hovering before Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan’s eyes were fixed on the box, its surface emitted faint Heaven and Earth Power.
He recognized the aura.
It was what Lu Xuan yearned for.
The aura of supreme spiritual objects.
Could this black crystal stone contain a supreme spiritual object?
No!
This box resembles the one Li Chengxing gave him in the White Dao Prefecture.
The only difference was that this box was much larger.
Lu Xuan knew this black crystal stone box was no ordinary object.
It could conceal the intense spiritual aura of the supreme ones.
And now, it couldn’t fully cover the aura inside.
Could the contents transcend supreme spiritual objects?
This possibility sparked a fiery gleam in Lu Xuan’s eyes.
"I am anxious!
"I’m unworthy of Your Majesty’s grace."
Though speaking hesitantly, Lu Xuan’s hand reached for the box unconsciously.
He never masked his desire for spiritual objects.
They were crucial for enhancing his power swiftly.
Especially those beyond the supreme ones.
Unseen, Xia Mingyue’s lips slightly twitched, influenced by Lu Xuan’s action.
This Lu Xuan! Intriguing indeed.
Since rising to the throne, few like Lu Xuan hid nothing before her.
Yet the report about Lu Xuan matched perfectly.
Lu Xuan’s greed for spiritual objects was remarkable.
Xia Mingyue felt no displeasure by such greed, rather relief.
"Greed is fine!
"As long as extraordinary martial power serves her, more spiritual objects will be provided."
"Inside is the Pocket World Spiritual Object, Black Spirit Wood, containing pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, with a trace of Power of Law."
Pocket World Spiritual Object?
What could that be?
And this Power of Law?
Lu Xuan furrowed his brows, confused by Xia Mingyue’s words.
Yet he felt content having found his answer.
Loaded with pure spiritual qi.
That’s what Lu Xuan sought—the system points from numerous spiritual objects.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
With gratitude on his face, Lu Xuan bowed deeply.
Empress Xia Mingyue was unbelievably generous.
She gave so much, Lu Xuan felt obliged to appreciate.
Unknowingly, Lu Xuan tagged Xia Mingyue as a good person deep down.
Remarkable indeed!
Extraordinary indeed!
Unaware, Xia Mingyue had been labeled a good person by Lu Xuan.
Her tone changed as she spoke.
"Mr. Lu, do you know why I’ve summoned you?"
Lu Xuan furrowed his brows, paused briefly, then shook his head.
"I don’t know, Your Majesty, please enlighten me."
"In half a year, oversee the Great Xia Dynasty’s martial arts contest for me."
