1005 Empyrean's Might

Ao Shen did not beat around the bush. He handed Huo Fenghuang a list of the items he wanted in exchange for the transitioning technique, and the latter immediately frowned after scanning it with her Divine Sense.

"Why don't you rob us directly," replied Huo Fenghuang, trying not to yell.

"Although the price is a little high, it's worth it???especially for someone as prideful as you."

"If you think I will let pride get in the way of our negotiation, then you're underestimating me," replied Huo Fenghuang with a sneer. Such an act should have looked odd with her missing limb, but she still appeared beautiful and noble.

She looked at the list a second time and became angrier the second time. The dragon wanted rare things like Phoenix Tear???a unique item that allows a Great Emperor on the verge of death to regenerate to their peak state instantly; this is the closest material to a Longevity Resource.

Even by the standard of an immortal, Huo Fenghuang would take a very long time to condense one of these things.

"No, the price must be reduced," she argued.

"Well, we can do this. The price will reduce by a third," said Ao Shen before pausing and smirking; Huo Fenghuang wanted nothing more than to slap his face. However, she remained calm and stoic, waiting for his words.

"But, you have to sign a contract that the method can only be used by you."

Huo Fenghuang frowned as she understood the implications???the method could not be passed down to her clan and become their foundation.

"No, I refuse this method of exchange."

Although the tribulation for the transition is scary, with a success rate of less than 1% for 5-Star Primarchs and above, this method is still crucial to any powerful lineage.

"That's fine. However, I should warn you I marked some of the items in the list with a star; these items are not for negotiation."

Huo Fenghuang looked at the list for a third time, and as expected, the Phoenix Tears was one of these materials.

"I understand. Chaos is one of the Five Supreme Outlaws, I can imagine how terrifying your tribulation will be - unless you change your Dao.

So, you would need an item like the Phoenix Tear to even have an ounce of a chance at surviving."

"You're right, so you should understand what length I'm willing to go for some of these things."

Huo Fenghuang felt something was wrong, given how fast he admitted such a thing. However, she did not focus too much on this.

"You should know how much time is required to condense a Phoenix Tear?"

"Don't worry about this. The Time Void Empress should come to exchange with me, and one of my conditions will be for her to let you use her Time Acceleration Cultivation Room."

Huo Fenghuang squinted her eyes as this was an excellent opportunity for her. If she plays her card correctly, she can use this opportunity in her favor. Although she can somewhat control time, it's nothing compared to someone who uses it as their primary or secondary Dao.

"Deal, but we still have to negotiate these prices."

Some of the things the dragon asked were unacceptable to her, for example, blood sources from all five of her bloodlines. She would never give him such a thing. Ao Shen knew his asking price was unreasonable. So, they negotiated so that both sides would be satisfied.

After arguing for so long that Huo Fenghuang was already healed, they came to a conclusion and signed an agreement. Ao Shen returned to the Northern Continent with a grin on his face.

'Everything is ready,' he thought. He can abandon his body with the Phoenix Tear before refining it into his Proving Dao Artifact. The next step is to prepare before the tribulation. The stronger his body, the better the weapon Ao Shen can refine.

And with the tear, he can return to his peak quickly.

He immediately organized a task force to hunt bloodlines for him in the Lower Realm and even sent people to the Martial Hegemony World. Ao Shen was ruthless and sent people to hunt the Sea Race's bloodline, not minding their recent alliance.

Of course, he was sneaky about it. Instead, he secretly hired humans to do this job to prevent any connection between him and the demon race.

He knew besides the Heavenly Emperor, he could hide his methods from everyone else in the world.

And even if they discovered something, he would have plausible deniability and could claim some people were trying to ruin the alliance between the two races.
