Chapter 2086: Chapter 2086
After Su Yang and the others returned to Qinghe Academy, they immediately asked someone to find some crystal gemstones.
Using the method recorded in the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book, Su Yang set up a very intricate array inside each crystal gemstone.
To activate the power of this array, Su Yang found the four Beigong War God individuals and had them infuse some of their divine artifact power into the crystal gemstones.
With this, the aura of the array became extremely powerful.
Coupled with the array originating from the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book, which was already remarkable, the addition of the divine artifact power made the array even more extraordinary.
After processing the four crystal gemstones, Su Yang brought them to the dean and others for appraisal.
The dean and others, who were considered well-experienced, were utterly shocked upon seeing the crystal gemstones.
"How could there be such power in this world?" the dean exclaimed in astonishment.
"This power seems to have surpassed the realms we know!" the third-generation Martial God frowned, "Even in the other Eight Realms, I suppose such power doesn't exist!"
"Where did this come from?" another person asked in surprise.
"Could it be obtained from the Feather Spirit Palace?" another person exclaimed.
Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, suggesting Su Yang had indeed brought something out from the Feather Spirit Palace?
In reality, they didn't know that the ones truly benefiting from the Feather Spirit Palace were the four Beigong War God individuals. It was just that Su Yang and the others hadn't shared this information.
The affair with these divine artifacts is no small matter. If leaked, the Human World would face catastrophic destruction. Even if people from the other Eight Realms don't covet these divine artifacts, they certainly wouldn't allow the Human World to possess them.
Because possessing these divine artifacts means having the power to surpass the Eight Realms, which poses a deadly threat. The Eight Realms would never permit such a thing to exist.
Therefore, Su Yang and his companions concealed this matter. Without sufficient strength, they wouldn't reveal this information, as it's far too dangerous for the Human World.
Su Yang picked up a crystal gemstone and smiled, "If I were to say it was obtained from the Feather Spirit Palace, would you believe me?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Su Yang in astonishment. What, aren't these from the Feather Spirit Palace?
"Su Alliance Leader, you... you're not planning to use these crystal gemstones to deceive people, are you?" the third-generation Martial God asked in a low voice.
Su Yang chuckled, "How could I deceive anyone? These crystal gemstones are meant to contain something. I just want you all to judge what feeling these crystal gemstones give!"
The crowd exchanged glances; they were not very inclined to believe what Su Yang said.
"If you said these crystal gemstones were obtained from the Feather Spirit Palace, we'd really believe it," the dean paused and said quietly, "However, the material itself isn't quite good. Even though this kind of crystal gemstone is rare, you can still find it in the Human World. Is the Feather Spirit Palace using this kind of material as well?"
Su Yang nodded, and with the dean's words, he knew just how he needed to improve.
The dean didn't know what Su Yang intended to do, nor did he delve into the matter, instead changing the topic, "By the way, what do you think about what the Heavenly Court Master said?"
"The map, I've already drawn it," Su Yang said.
"Drawn it?" Everyone was stunned, and the dean asked quietly, "Do you...do you really plan to just hand over the map to them?"
"It's not a matter of whether I plan to hand it over or not, but if we don't, the Human World will be doomed!" Su Yang said softly, "So I really must hand over this map."
"But if the Eight Realms can freely enter the Feather Spirit Palace, they could get what's inside it. At that point, the situation for the Human World would become even more perilous!" the dean said.
"Heh..." Su Yang lightly laughed, "The premise is they must be able to get what's inside the Feather Spirit Palace. You don't need to worry about that. I've spent a long time in the Feather Spirit Palace and am very familiar with the situation inside. Things inside the Feather Spirit Palace aren't that easy to obtain!"
"Oh?" The dean's interest immediately perked up, seeing Su Yang's demeanor suggesting he knew a lot about the situation.
Su Yang smiled slightly and, without further explanation, softly continued, "The most crucial thing now is how to hand over the map."
"What do you mean?" someone beside him asked in surprise. Wouldn't handing the map directly to the Heavenly Court suffice?
Only a few, including the dean, subtly reacted, seemingly understanding Su Yang's point.
"Actually, this time, the Eight Realms lost eighty people inside the Feather Spirit Palace. Logically, they should blame the Human World," Su Yang said, "Including the Heavenly Realm, where ten individuals died, one of whom was Wei Qing from the Wei Family. This responsibility is too heavy for even the Heavenly Court Master to bear. According to logic, the Heavenly Court should seize the nine of us and hand us over to the Eight Realms for accountability. Yet, why did the Heavenly Court choose to let me go and still threaten me to produce the map of the Feather Spirit Palace?"
Many in the room didn't quite grasp Su Yang's point, while the dean and a few others were contemplative. They had also considered this issue, but they were unfamiliar with the internal situation of the Feather Spirit Palace, so they didn't know how to address it.
Conversely, Su Yang was particularly knowledgeable about the inside of the Feather Spirit Palace; he should know how to handle this matter.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Su Yang smiled, "The Heavenly Court didn't do this because the Heavenly Court Master understands that even if they handed me over to the Eight Realms for disposal, I wouldn't be in any danger. After all, I'm the only one who knows about the Feather Spirit Palace. Between those eighty people of the Eight Realms and the secrets of the Feather Spirit Palace, which is more important?"
"Of course, the secrets of the Feather Spirit Palace are more important!" an elder immediately stated.
"Exactly..." Su Yang chuckled, "If they want to know the secrets of the Feather Spirit Palace, they won't harm me. In other words, even if I fall into the hands of the Eight Realms, I'd be able to extricate myself entirely. The Eight Realms, in fact, might even offer me a lot of benefits to reveal the secrets of the Feather Spirit Palace, including the Heavenly Realm. Given such a situation, the Heavenly Court has no reason to play the villain."
"Moreover, if I really choose to reveal the secrets of the Feather Spirit Palace, and the Heavenly Court angers me at that moment, it would be disadvantageous for the Heavenly Realm. If, when divulging the secrets of the Feather Spirit Palace, I exclude the Heavenly Realm, wouldn't it suffer a great loss? What the Heavenly Court did would then equal creating trouble for the Heavenly Realm. Thus, when the Heavenly Court asked for the map of the Feather Spirit Palace, it was actually just to intimidate me, hoping to slyly obtain the map before I understood the situation, so they could maintain the upper hand. But, since we're aware of the situation in the Feather Spirit Palace, why should we let others control this upper hand?"
