The Dao of the Primordial World

Chapter 25 - Three Questions (1)

The main hall of the Ouyang family was extremely spacious. It was completely made of black jade and stone, exuding a majestic atmosphere. The walls were carved by skilled craftsmen, and the patterns on them were classical and elegant.

Ouyang Chenfeng steadily walked into the hall, followed by four white haired and white bearded old men. They walked with steady steps, and did not make any sound.

Immediately, the hall became silent.

Ouyang Chenfeng sat in the middle of the room with the four elders sitting down on opposite sides. They closed their eyes to meditate, as if the surroundings had nothing to do with them. Ouyang Chenfeng invited the patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Dingbang, and the patriarch of the Xiang Family, Xiang Feiyu, to take their seats.

"Thank you for your love for my daughter. No matter who wins in the end, the rest will be the guests of the Ouyang Family. After the end of the competition, you will be given a VIP card. Every family that belongs to the Ouyang Family will receive VIP treatment. The first trial of sincerity consists of me, the Liu Family's Patriarch Liu Dingbang, the Xiang Family's Family's Patriarch Xiang Feiyu and four elders evaluating the six victors together. We will start from the right. " Ouyang Chenfeng slowly said.

The Crown Prince of Zhao Kingdom, Zhao Kuangyu, walked to the center with a sandalwood box in her hands.

"Uncle, I, your nephew, have always adored Xue'er and especially offered her the Myriad Turtle Dragon Pearl." As Zhao Kuangyu spoke, he opened the box. A multicolored light immediately scattered out from the box, and a fist-sized bead began to emit a dazzling light. It was extremely beautiful.

"So beautiful!" The women watching the ceremony in the living room could not help but let out sounds of love and admiration, their eyes glinting with a misty light.

A thousand-year-old Turtle Dragon could produce walnut-sized Turtle-Dragon Pearls, and a ten-thousand-year-old Turtle-Dragon could produce a Turtle-Dragon Pearl that was the size of an adult's fist. Judging from its size, it was obviously the product of a ten-thousand-year Turtle Dragon.

The Turtle Dragon Pearl had three uses. First, it could give off a rainbow colored light, especially at night. It was extremely enchanting, and when placed in the water, it would give off a blue light, making people feel as if they were in the ocean. The second, it could cure all poisons and dispel all diseases; the third, it could calm a cultivator's heart and speed up his cultivation when placed beside him. The greater the effect of the Turtle Dragon Pearl, the better it was.

"Good, good, your Highness the Crown Prince has been considerate!" Ouyang Chenfeng could not help but exclaim, the royalty sure was rich! He then ordered the attendants to take them and stand to the side.

The second Liu Yi brought out a square box. The box was meticulously carved, and the color was especially exquisite.

"Uncle, your nephew offers the Icy Silkworm Robe, made from the silk of a thousand-year-old Iceworm. Please take a look at it, uncle." Liu Yi said as he opened the box.

Suddenly, the temperature in the hall dropped. Everyone felt cool all of a sudden.

"Thousand Year Frozen Silkworm Robe!"

Immediately, the hall was in an uproar, even Li Yi took a few extra glances.

The thousand-year ice silkworm was produced on the highest peak of the ice mountain in the Northern Lands. It was naturally cold, and thus belonged to the rank of a Saint Beast. In the extreme north of the land, snow and ice danced all year round, and violent winds blew all over, making it difficult for ordinary people to reach it. In the extreme north of the land, the hundred thousand foot high ice mountain was originally an enormous mountain, but its surface was completely covered in layers of ice.

When the ice silkworm matured, a transparent filament emerged from its mouth that was used to weave its own nest. This filament was the thousand-year Ice Silkworm Silk.

The Ice Silkworm Silk itself was flexible and resistant to water and fire. It rarely circulated in the market, and when worn, it could not only cool and cool the body, but also reduce water magic damage. The most important factor was that it could increase the perception and control of water elemental mages.

This kind of Icy Silkworm Robe could be said to be the most precious treasure to Water mages. The wearer was not only resistant to swords and spears, but also to fire and water, and more importantly, he was immune to forbidden water spells and could reduce fire damage.

The several people sitting at the top row all nodded their heads in agreement. This was an extraordinary object.

The third He Dong Fang Yu Fang family was not as powerful as the five great families, but it had developed rapidly in the last two hundred years. It was one of the stronger families after the five great families.

Fang Yu held a rectangular box in his hand and slowly opened it.

Suddenly, a three-colored light flashed in the hall as Fang Yu took out one or three phoenix crowns.

"Uncle, this is a phoenix crown made of pure gold from the ocean floor and inlaid with a thousand-year-old pearl from the East China Sea. Uncle, please take a look at it."

Golden and silverish white under the sea, soft, tough, light, and extremely suitable for making ornaments. However, it was hard to find gold under the sea, and it was difficult for ordinary people to reach it.

The four sides of the phoenix crown were carved with fine patterns, among which were many pearls, dazzling and resplendent. Three phoenix heads were carved in front of the phoenix crown, looking vivid and unique.

All of the female attendants in the listening hall and those observing the ceremony all emitted a bright light from their eyes, as if they were fierce beasts that wanted to choose a person. The envy and greed in their eyes couldn't help but cause the man beside them to be terrified. It was the same for women who loved beauty.

Fourth place, fifth place … everyone began to present their treasures. All of them were unique treasures, or treasures rarely seen in a thousand years.

The fifteenth Nangong Lin held a cube of sandalwood box in his hands. On the side of the box, there were carvings of dragons and phoenixes, which seemed to be alive, as if he was about to break out of the box.

Nangong Lin opened the box and a nine-colored light shone. Nine colors continuously flashed in the hall, looking incredibly beautiful, as if they were real.

"Uncle, I hope Miss Xue'er will like this Nine Phoenix Crown."

This Nine Phoenix Crown was made of the same material as Fang Yu's Three Phoenix Crown, it was also carved from the finest gold at the bottom of the ocean, only the carving was more exquisite. The small phoenix crown was actually carved into the scenery of the sea. The ten thousand dragons swimming on the sea, or roaring at the sky, or playing with each other, or surfing in the water, or flying in the sea and making the clouds rain. They were vivid and lifelike, each dragon's eyes were inlaid with pearls, making them seem even more mighty.

Above the phoenix crown were nine coloured phoenixes surrounding it. Within the phoenix beak were nine different colored pearls that emitted colorful lights and pink light that shot in all directions. It was even better than Fang Yu's phoenix crown.

The twentieth Li Yi walked forward with a long box in his hands.

"Uncle, nephew Li Yi handed over the treasured sword 'Soaring Dragon', please have a look!" Li Yi opened the box and took out a treasure sword.

The sword was three feet long and silver in color. The sword's body was engraved with dragon patterns, and between the sword's hilt and body was inlaid a pearl.

Everyone was puzzled as to why the Li Family, as one of the Five Great Clans, would produce such an ordinary sword.

Ouyang Chenfeng was also confused, could it be that this sword had another secret? Ouyang Chenfeng wanted to catch the sword and watch. The four elders who were seated on either side of Ouyang Chenfeng suddenly opened their eyes, the light in their eyes shooting out one metre away. Everyone in the hall was shocked, even the Second Clan Elder from the Nan Gong Family who was standing behind them had his heart shaken when he saw the sword, "Treasure!"

One of the four elderly men rushed towards Li Yi like a gust of wind, Ouyang Chenfeng who had just raised his hands immediately put them down, looking extremely respectful.

The old man didn't say a word. He picked up the sword and carefully looked at it. A cold feeling came from the old man's arm. He suddenly shook and flicked the sword with his finger.

Roar!

A draconic roar suddenly rang out, clear and deafening as it snaked through the air.

The hall was full of famous people who were secretly surprised. Listening to the voice, they understood what it meant. It was a good sword, everyone thought to themselves.

The old man's eyes were filled with joy as he secretly channeled some true energy into his sword. Suddenly, the sword released a bright light and the dragon tattoo on the sword seemed to have come to life.

Roar!

The dragon cry resounded through the nine heavens as the twin dragons revolved around the sword before entering the sword.

Everyone in the hall was shocked. There was actually such a divine object!

"Good sword!" The old man said to Li Yi.

Li Yi secretly thought, how could it not be good! High-grade spirit weapon!

The old man turned and nodded towards the other three elders, then said to Ouyang Chenfeng: "This sword is the first one."

"Yes, Elder." Ouyang Chenfeng was extremely respectful.

Everyone in the hall was shocked! He had actually been directly selected.

Liu Yi secretly cursed in his heart. The first prize was actually taken by Li Yi, and at the same time, a sense of danger rose in his heart.

There were a total of twenty-six participants, and the rest of the participants all displayed extraordinary appearances.

Ouyang Chenfeng announced the results for evaluation this afternoon.

Everyone left one by one.
