Chapter 56 - 56 The Tenth Supreme
56 The Tenth Supreme
“Greetings, Supreme.”
Under the gaze of countless people, the red-robed elder knelt in an extremely respectful and pious manner, then kowtowed to Lin Wudao.
His old body was trembling.
What?
Su… Supreme?
As the red-robed elder’s voice rang out, everyone in the Nine Heavens Tower was shocked by his sudden action.
Then, all of them saw the purple talisman.
Boom!
At this moment, everyone’s souls rumbled, and they felt unprecedented panic and fear that rose from the bottom of their hearts before crazily sweeping around their bodies.
“A su… supreme talisman?”
Everyone was stunned.
They could not believe their eyes.
In the City of Heavens, those with the supreme talisman enjoyed the best treatment. Whether it was ident.i.ty, status, or strength, they were all supreme.
Previously, there were nine such talismans.
And just now, there had been a new addition.
According to the notice released by the City of Heavens, the supreme talisman that the newly ascended Supreme had was exactly the same as the one before them.
“Could it be that this is the newly-advanced Supreme?”
Ha!
Thinking of this, everyone present instantly gasped.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
…
Then, with their greatest speed, they kneeled devoutly and bowed to Lin Wudao with infinite fear and respect.
“Greetings, Supreme!”
“Greetings, Supreme!”
“Greetings, Supreme!”
…
The earth-shaking sounds of worship shook the heavens.
Even Ji Ruyue, the number one G.o.ddess of the Nine Heavens Merchant Union, was shocked and terrified when she saw the supreme talisman.
At that moment, she led all the members of the Merchant Union in the Nine Heavens Tower to kneel and pay their respects.
The Supreme was above all!
They knew that not only did the supreme talisman represent the highest treatment and privileges in the City of Heavens, but it also represented the peak of power in the outside world.
Only Supremes who had proven their Dao for eternity could possess the supreme talisman.
There had only been nine such people since ancient times!
“Su… Su… Supreme?”
On the other side, Mu Jiutian’s eyes widened in shock at the sudden turn of events. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
He had not expected Lin Wudao’s method to be this.
One with a supreme talisman could enjoy a 90% discount for everything here.
The Universe Origin Fruit in front of him had been auctioned for 100 billion catties of supreme-grade divine source. With a 10% discount, he would only need to pay 10 billion catties of supreme-grade divine source.
With that, he could afford indeed it with his financial resources.
However, this was too scary.
Originally, Mu Jiutian had thought that even if Lin Wudao had the right to enjoy a discount, it should only be an ordinary black iron talisman at most. A 10% discount was already the limit.
Who knew that the other party had the highest-grade supreme talisman?
The result was beyond Mu Jiutian’s imagination.
Even Qian Ruming, who was standing at the side, was scared out of his wits.
“He… He’s actually… He’s actually a Supreme? Thank G.o.d I didn’t act rudely or offend him in the Myriad Treasures Tower just now, otherwise…”
Qian Ruming didn’t dare to think any further.
At this moment, there was only infinite reverence and fear in his heart.
…
“So this is the power of a supreme talisman? It’s truly terrifying,” Looking at Ji Ruyue and the others who were kneeling at his feet in awe, Lin Wudao could not help but sigh in amazement.
It was only at this moment that he clearly understood the supreme authority of the supreme talisman.
It was simply unimaginable.
Even a high and mighty True Celestial had to kneel and worship him at this moment, all because he had the supreme talisman.
“Let’s continue the transaction,” His calm voice sounded.
“Yes… Yes,” The red-robed elder replied fearfully, not even daring to raise his head to look at Lin Wudao.
At the same time, he didn’t need to check the grade of the talisman anymore. After all, no one would dare to fake a supreme talisman.
“Supreme, according to the rules of the City of Heavens, you can enjoy a 90% discount on everything you buy with the supreme talisman. As such, you only need to pay 10 billion catties of supreme-grade divine source for this Universe Origin Fruit,” The red-robed old man’s body trembled as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded.
“Pay then”
“Yes… Yes…”
Mu Jiutian only came back to his senses after Lin Wudao’s reminder.
He immediately took out ten billion catties of supreme-grade divine source as quickly as he could.
After paying, he knelt again.
“Let’s go,” After the transaction was completed, Lin Wudao, who had experienced the supreme authority of the Supreme talisman, instantly lost interest in continuing to shop.
He then walked out of the Nine Heavens Tower with his hands behind his back.
Seeing this, Mu Jiutian took a few deep breaths and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He held the Universe Origin Fruit and followed the other party respectfully.
“Hu~”
It was not until a long time after they had left that everyone heaved a sigh of relief and stood up one after another.
“Wow, I didn’t expect to actually see a legendary Supreme.”
“That’s a Supreme who has proven his eternal Dao!”
“It’s truly the Nine Heavens Tower’s honor to have hosted a Supreme today. This is a great honor that I can brag about for a few lifetimes.”
“Sigh, isn’t Mu Jiutian’s luck too heaven-defying? To think he was lucky enough to have led the way for a Supreme. How many lifetimes of good fortune must he have cultivated for this?”
“That kid is going to soar to the heavens in a single step.”
…
Countless voices of discussion rang out in the Nine Heavens Tower.
Lin Wudao knew nothing of all that.
Whoosh!
After they left the Nine Heavens Tower, Mu Jiutian steered the divine boat back the way they had come.
Not long after, they arrived outside the City of Heavens.
“I’ll be leaving first, see you next time,” After saying his farewell, Lin Wudao raised his hand and shot out a beam of spiritual light. In an instant, a void tunnel was opened.
“Supreme, here’s your Universe Origin Fruit,” Mu Jiutian reminded him.
“It’s yours. Just take it as me returning the favor for your Heaven Evasion Cloak and the Mask of Heavens, as well as the Nine Transitions Nirvana Pill,” Lin Wudao’s calm voice came from the void.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the void tunnel was gone.
Only Mu Jiutian was left standing there in a daze. He stared at the Universe Origin Fruit in his hand, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
At this moment, he felt like he was in a dream.
After a long time, when Mu Jiutian finally came to his senses, he found that many had gathered around him. They were all looking at him with respect and envy, with Ji Ruyue in the lead.
“Fellow Daoist Mu, nice to meet you,” Ji Ruyue greeted him with a smile.
Upon seeing this, Mu Jiutian was filled with nervousness.
“You’re being too polite, G.o.ddess Ji. I’m just a guide in the City of Heavens. I’m really not worthy of you calling me a fellow Daoist.”
He was quite overwhelmed.
“It’s alright, fellow Daoist is worthy of such respect! It’s an unparalleled honor for you to have been able to show the Supreme around. From today onwards, I’m afraid everyone in the entire City of Heavens will have to give you some face. To be able to accompany a Supreme, fellow Daoist’s future is bound to be limitless,” Ji Ruyue was not stingy with her praise.
Mu Jiutian waved his hands. He really couldn’t afford this honor.
“Fellow Daoist, this is the latest G.o.d-level shopping card launched by the Nine Heavens Merchant Union. Anyone who has it can enjoy a half-price discount on any of the premises under the Nine Heavens Merchant Union. I’d like to use this item to make friends with Fellow Daoist Mu. I hope you won’t mind,” As she said this, Ji Ruyue took out a gold-colored metal card and handed it to Mu Jiutian.
“This…” Mu Jiutian’s heart trembled when he saw this.
One wouldn’t be so nice if there weren’t any profits in it for one.
He naturally knew what Ji Ruyue and the Nine Heavens Merchant Union were thinking. They simply wanted to build a good relationship with him after seeing him with a Supreme.
It could also be considered an act of borrowing the Supreme’s name to act.
“G.o.ddess Ji, the Supreme and I have only just met by chance. The next time he comes to the City of Heavens, he may not need me to lead the way anymore.”
“Hehe, I’ve said it before, this has nothing to do with the Supreme. I just want to be friends with Fellow Daoist Mu. Since you’re unwilling to accept it, is it because you look down on the Nine Heavens Merchant Union?”
“No, how could that be.”
“In that case, please accept it.”
“Then… Alright then,” Seeing that he couldn’t reject it, Mu Jiutian had no choice but to accept the G.o.d-level shopping card.
The scene made the onlookers envious.
…
“By the way, I heard that fellow Daoist just accompanied the Supreme to the Myriad Treasures Tower?” At this moment, Ji Ruyue’s gentle voice suddenly rang out.
Mu Jiutian sighed to himself when he heard this. He knew that this was Ji Ruyue’s true goal.
“Yes. Previously, I accompanied the Supreme on a trip to the Myriad Treasures Tower. The Supreme was looking for some divine items and supreme treasures that could improve one’s apt.i.tude. It should be prepared for a certain junior. After the selection, the Supreme had his eyes on the Nine Transitions Nirvana Pill. It’s a pity that there’s only one in the Myriad Treasures Tower, and it’s only the first transition. The rest will have to be ordered….”
Mu Jiutian stopped there.
After he said all this, he excused himself and left on the divine boat.
The Nine Transitions Nirvana Pill?
Ji Ruyue’s eyes instantly lit up.
