For all the cultivators present, the high-grade celestial artifact, Taining, was an overwhelming temptation, and the greed was evident in everyone's eyes.
Possessing a high-grade celestial artifact was akin to a leap from an ordinary cultivator to a savior. All the cultivators in the Pangu secret realm would revolve around them, compelled to take on the duty of saving the world. Just the thought of it made the blood boil.
But, only Ye Fan, his eyes saw nothing but Li Zhaojun.
Hua Wu asked, "Whoever can lift the ban, can take this celestial artifact down the mountain?"
This again reminded those present that anyone who possessed a high-grade celestial artifact would be coveted. Whether Huang Ze would hand it over smoothly was one issue, and whether it could be taken down Emperor Mountain to return to the sect was another.
An innocent man gets into trouble because he possesses a precious jewel.
