Chapter 1748: Song Tiandao's Allegiance
Xiang Yangzhan, Purple Lightning Marquis, and Lang Ya were all eighth-stage Gods. Purple Lightning Marquis and Lang Ya were even at the peak of the eighth stage. All of them had benefited from the primal chaos wall. With the lotus seeds, they immediately entered seclusion and attempted to absorb the seeds as quickly as they could to grow even stronger.
Xiang Yangzhan and Purple Lightning Marquis both cultivated the power of lightning, so the primal chaos energy couldn't directly boost their cultivations. However, the energy still helped them enhance their bodies and transform their lightning into primal chaos lightning. With the enhancements, they were able to attempt to increase their cultivation levels.
While Xiang Shaoyun's people were busy improving their strength, Dugu Qiubai also gave some treasures to the True Martial Academy's Gods. With everyone busy cultivating, they would not move against the aliens in the meantime.
Xiang Shaoyun and some God Realm formation masters worked together to lay out a god-grade formation on the planet, completely isolating and hiding the planet to avoid being discovered by the aliens.
At the same time, Ling Ziruo and Song Tiandao went looking for Xiang Shaoyun. They both knew how capable Xiang Shaoyun was. They were sure he had entered deep into the primal chaos world and obtained great rewards. They wished to trade for some treasures they could use to increase their strength.
"Young Master Xiang, you must have obtained many rewards from the primal chaos world. Are you willing to trade some to me?" asked Ling Ziruo as she tried to charm him with her beautiful eyes.
She was an absolute beauty, and when she was being seductive, she became fatally attractive. Even Xiang Shaoyun had the urge to wrap his arms around her and ravage her body.
With Xiang Shaoyun's strong willpower, he naturally wouldn't lose control so easily. He smiled and said, "Even if you didn't come looking for me, I would have gone looking for you two. If you can offer something I'm interested in, I will satisfy your wish."
Two pots of primal chaos spring water and more than 10 high-tier god-grade herbs appeared in his hand. Instantly, a mesmerizing God Realm aura flooded their surroundings. The look on Ling Ziruo's and Song Tiandao's faces changed. They knew that Xiang Shaoyun had gained a lot from the primal chaos world, but it seemed he had gained much more than they had imagined.
"I have two pots of primal chaos spring water here. You know its worth well. Since we're allies, I can give you ten drops each for free," said Xiang Shaoyun. Two tiny jade bottles with ten drops of primal chaos spring water each appeared in his hand.
"Only ten? Tha—" Ling Ziruo grumbled in a dissatisfied manner.
But before she could finish her words, Song Tiandao grabbed the bottle impatiently and said, "Thanks, Young Master Xiang." He looked at Ling Ziruo and said, "Sister Ling, If you think this is too little, why don't you let me have yours as well?"
Ling Ziruo was furious, but she still hurriedly grabbed the bottle and said, "Who says that I think this is too little?"
Even ten drops of primal chaos spring water were invaluable. How could she give it away for free?
When they received the ten drops, they had a better guess at how much Xiang Shaoyun had gained. He must have benefited massively for him to casually give out primal chaos spring water for free. In fact, most people would consider even a drop of primal chaos spring water the most precious of treasures. After all, it was something that could grant them a large amount of God Realm energy while breaking through.
"Alright. I still have a lot of stuff with me. Show me what you have to offer," said Xiang Shaoyun with a shrug.
Although he had profited greatly from his trip to the primal chaos world, that did not mean that Ling Ziruo and Song Tiandao wouldn't have any worthy treasures.
Without waiting for Ling Ziruo to say anything, Song Tiandao said, "If you don't mind it, the Song Clan is willing to form an eternal alliance with you, becoming a subsidiary under you."
Song Tiandao was pledging the allegiance of the Song Clan to him! Both Xiang Shaoyun and Ling Ziruo were shocked. The Song Clan was one of the oldest organizations in the Eastern Pass. They had accumulated great power after all these years of existence. They wouldn't have been able to support Song Tiandao until he reached such heights otherwise. If the news of Song Tiandao pledging the Song Clan to Xiang Shaoyun spread out, it would shock the world.
"Are you sure?" Xiang Shaoyun raised his brow.
"As the young clan master of the Song Clan, yes, I'm sure," said Song Tiandao as he dropped down on one knee.
One ought to admit that Song Tiandao was decisive. He had always been a prideful individual. He was born to wield sabers, and it was only a matter of time before he took his place among the strongest individuals in existence. For someone like him to submit to Xiang Shaoyun, one could see how charismatic Xiang Shaoyun had become.
Song Tiandao had made this decision due to Xiang Shaoyun's despair-inducing strength. Song Tiandao believed that Xiang Shaoyun had a good chance of becoming the young guild master. He decided to join Xiang Shaoyun in the early stages when Xiang Shaoyun still needed people. The moment Xiang Shaoyun became the young guild master, the Song Clan would benefit greatly. One could say that Song Tiandao looked highly upon Xiang Shaoyun and was willing to place his bets on Xiang Shaoyun.
"Ok. That alone deserves a pot of primal chaos spring water," said Xiang Shaoyun as he handed the pot over.
Ling Ziruo's eyes burned with desire when she saw that. If possible, she wished to jump into Xiang Shaoyun's arms and snatch the pot of primal chaos spring water for herself.
After getting the pot of spring water, Song Tiandao happily stepped behind Xiang Shaoyun and stood there, acting like he was Xiang Shaoyun's follower. He even glanced at Ling Ziruo smugly. Ling Ziruo was filled with desire for the spring water, but there was nothing she could do.
The Guangling Palace was a superpower much stronger than the Song Clan. They naturally couldn't bow to Xiang Shaoyun so easily. In any case, it wasn't a decision she could make.
Thus, she indignantly took out a bunch of god-grade items, but nothing caught Xiang Shaoyun's eyes. Thus, he only traded his other god-grade treasures to her while keeping the spring water.
"Young Master Xiang, what do you want for your primal chaos spring water? Name your price. I'll try to get what you want," said Ling Ziruo.
Xiang Shaoyun gave it some thought and said, "I heard that the Guangling Palace has an incredible zither tome. If possible, I wish to obtain the contents of that tome."
"You want our Guangling Tome? You're asking for too much!" Ling Ziruo exclaimed in alarm.
The Guangling Tome was a secret tome never shared with outsiders. Only the palace master would be allowed to even look at it. It was a supreme tome detailing the secrets of the zither. However, only someone born with an affinity to the zither dao could cultivate its contents. In the current generation of palace ladies, Yue Xi was the only one with such an affinity.
"I might not need the entirety of the tome. Even half is good enough." Xiang Shaoyun wanted to find better zither cultivation resources for Gong Qinyin to give her cultivation a push.
