Chapter 219 You Don't Have This Fate
"Thank you..."
Emperor Shen Ling sighed in relief, quickly approached the Bronze Tripod, and brought it closer.
At this point, he had already gathered three cauldrons, with ancient runes flowing on their bodies, emitting a bluish-gray light, seemingly narrating some special secret.
"Master Qian, Master Shi wants to kill me, using this Bronze Tripod as compensation should be fine, right?"
Zhang Xuan looked over with a beaming smile.
"Of, of course!"
Qian Yuhuan awkwardly smiled and nodded repeatedly.
He had researched this Bronze Tripod for three days already and had no clue; even if he continued, it likely wouldn't yield any results.
Rather than offending a mysterious clan member, it seemed better to earn some easy favor.
"Thank you, Master Qian!"
Zhang Xuan grasped into the air, catching the last Bronze Tripod and lowered his head to observe it.
Gently touching with his palm, he could clearly feel the strength in the runes, flowing like water, unceasingly.
"Brother Zhang, could you possibly sell me this last Bronze Tripod?"
Emperor Shen Ling stepped forward.
He had already obtained three; just lacking this last one, he could fully comprehend the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony and thus become the ultimate winner.
Previously, if the other party refused, he might have taken it by force; but now, with one person having killed so many, he was somewhat fearful.
"Of course!"
Zhang Xuan nodded slightly.
Emperor Shen Ling's face showed delight, and looking around, he said, "Everyone, please lend the resources you have with you to me. After leaving this place, the Zhou Yi Dynasty will repay you double!"
"No problem..."
"We can lend, Your Highness, but could you please write an IOU!"
Everyone hesitated for a moment, then all nodded simultaneously.
Given the current situation, with Emperor Shen Ling so dominant, not lending would mean, relying on the three Bronze Tripods, he could eventually comprehend the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony anyway. Instead of the icing on the cake, it was better to send charcoal in snowy weather.
"That's easy!"
Emperor Shen Ling sighed in relief.
It was just an IOU. Once he gained the inheritance, comprehended the Second-level Heavenly Destiny, and with the support of the Zhou Yi Dynasty, this amount of resources was nothing.
Moreover, once he took them as disciples, who would dare to ask him for repayment?
Upon reaching the mountaintop, he had guessed that Empyrean Kong shi must be hiding nearby. He had searched everywhere but never expected him to be hiding within the colorful lights.
Ignoring everyone's shock, Empyrean Kong shi grabbed with one hand, and the four Bronze Tripods immediately flew up, hovering above him. The next moment, the vast colorful lights gathered like rivers into the ocean, madly surging into his body.
As the lights were absorbed, the entire Zhilan Valley shook violently, as if it could collapse at any moment.
"He has comprehended the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony!"
"Wasn't it said that obtaining the four Bronze Tripods would allow one to Forge this Second-level Heavenly Destiny? Why did Prince Shen fail, but he succeeded?"

"I don't know, what's happening?"
Seeing the scene before them, everyone was somewhat confused.
Emperor Shen Ling was even more frantic, "This is impossible, this is impossible, the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony is mine, nobody can take it away..."
Leaping up, Emperor Shen Ling soared into the sky and stabbed at the floating Empyrean Kong shi with his sword.
A powerful sword qi formed a sharp blade. Empyrean Kong shi made no move, but the four Bronze Tripods, sensing the sneak attack, crashed down thunderously.
Bang!
The sword qi shot by Emperor Shen Ling immediately shattered, and the next moment, he spat blood from his mouth and nose, plummeting from the sky.
Defeated in an instant, he had no power to resist.
"Why? I don't believe it..."
Emperor Shen Ling's eyes were bloodshot as he struggled to rise again.
To gather these four cauldrons, he had spent all his efforts, even staking the future of the entire Zhou Yi Dynasty, never dreaming it would end like this.
All efforts without my part, in vain did I labor.
"You... you knew all along, didn't you? Even if I gathered all four Bronze Tripods, I still couldn't obtain the inheritance, right?"
Thinking of something, Emperor Shen Ling quickly turned his head to look at Zhang Xuan not far away.
This man had both strength and wisdom but had never actively fought for the cauldrons. Instead, he maneuvered among the people and gained many benefits, clearly guessing something early on.
Otherwise, faced with a Second-level Heavenly Destiny, no one would be so composed.
"Didn't Zhou Ji say it before? To obtain the inheritance, two conditions are needed: first, obtain the four Bronze Tripods on the wall and comprehend the ancient runes on them! Second, gain his approval."
Zhang Xuan looked over indifferently, "You only obtained the four Bronze Tripods without comprehending the runes on them, nor did you gain his approval, naturally, you cannot inherit..."
"This..."
Emperor Shen Ling swayed, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The other party was right; Zhou Ji's figure had indeed said these words when it appeared, but he had misunderstood it as just obtaining the four Bronze Tripods to gain the inheritance.
"To inherit the Second-level Heavenly Destiny." Zhang Xuan shook his head, his eyes showing a trace of pity, "You are not fated for it!"
