According to proper custom, Wang Tian and Wang Wei flew to the front of the mountain to receive the people of the Five Elements Palace. As soon as he arrived, Wang Wei noticed something different.
Unlike the previous Great Zhou delegation, this one was quite small; to be precise, it was three women. With a single look, he knew that two of these people were in the Supreme Realm, while the other was in the Divine Body Realm, so Wang Wei focused on her.
Zhen Biyu looked quite ordinary to ordinary people, from her hair to her Taoist robe, everything seemed ordinary. Yet, she had an extraordinary temperament or aura surrounding her; she looked pure, innocent, or simple. Usually, someone so ordinary would be easily forgettable, but not her.
After meeting, everyone greeted one another. Usually in this situation, a superficial tour would be in place, followed by greetings and polite chat, but the people of the Five Element Palace requested to skip all the pleasantries and get directly to the objective of their visit.
And during the entire situation, Zhen Biyu was quiet and calm, and she just randomly looked around once in a while.
Tianwei Peak, an official meeting took place between those two powerful Emperor Lineages.
"So, to what I owe this visit?" asked Wang Tian. However, the two Supreme Realms True Monarchs did not say anything, just looked at Zhen Biyu, who in turn looked directly at Wang Wei and said:
"I need some of your organs."
The room instantly became quiet as no one understood what was going on, so they also looked at Wang Wei. In this situation, since Zhen Biyu--as a member of the younger generation-- was in the conversation, then he also had to come forward.
"Well, as much I would like to believe that my level of handsomeness has reached the level that women want pieces of me, I have a feeling that this is not your intention, so Fellow Daoist Zhen Biyu, please elaborate," replied Wang Wei with his charming smile.
Unfortunately, Zhen Biyu did not seem to care. With a little frown on her face, she said: "I've been warned by the Elders to not be as direct as I normally I am, so I understand your confusion; I apologize for that.
"While I was cultivating a while ago, I felt a powerful Innate Five Element power coming from the Central Continent, so I tracked it to here. And after meeting you, I know that they came from your organs, so I came to get it."
Wang Wei raised his eyebrow as he observed Zhen Biyu; he could feel that she was not used to speaking so many words at once, meaning that was she not taciturn, but a person of little words.
"I appreciate the elaboration, but once again, this is not enough. How exactly are you going to take them?" replied Wang Wei, this time a slight pressure emanated from his body.
However, his pressure seemed to not affect Zhen Biyu. Without any change in expression, she took out a large orb the size of a basketball from her space ring.
With a glance, Wang Wei could feel a small world inside this orb, and it was also full of the power of the stars.
"According to the Elders, the final step in your cultivation of the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] is to open the Acupoints in your body with the power of the stars.
"In front of you is a small world full of Star Essence left by the Primal Star Emperor of our sect. I want to use this in exchange for a piece of your Zhang Organs."
Information about the Primal Star Emperor quickly rushed into Wang Wei's mind. He was one of the most powerful Great Emperors of the Five Element Palace with the possession of the 10th Heavenly Physique, the Star Monarch Physique.
During his rise, he invented a method to transform Origin Essence into Star Essence, granting extremely powerful battle strength and an unparallel control of Star Power.
During his rise, the Five Element Palace was still the most powerful Taoist Sect of the Myriad Emperor World and they resided in the Central Continent. Additionally, tension started rising between the Palace and the Dao Opening Sect.
The reason was the fact that there were rumors that the Primal Star Emperor was trying to create a new cultivation system based on stars, thus replacing the Origin Path System. Adding to that the fact that he could transform origin essence into star essence, the sect was worried and war almost broke out.
However, for reasons unknown, he did not do so; he did not even spread the method of transforming star essence.
All these thoughts quickly flashed across Wang Wei's mind, then he asked: "Is this Star Essence from before he proved the Dao or after?"
"After. Right before he disappeared."
Wang Wei nodded his head, glanced in the direction of his grandfather and Yan Chen, and slightly moved his head. The two understood his meaning and used their Divine Sense to check before nodding to him.
After receiving a positive answer, Wang Wei pondered for a brief moment before saying; "I can accept your exchange, but I have a few conditions."
"Please say."
"First, before I give you the pieces of my organs, I need to erase any connection they have with me, and you have to absorb them here in the sect."
"If you do not want to trade, say so!" suddenly said one of the two True Monarchs, obviously upset with this condition. However, Zhen Biyu was still calm, albeit a frown appear on her face, "Why?"
"As you know, some powerful spells or curses require the caster to have part of the target's body to work properly; I have to take precautionary measures to ensure my safety.
"Of course, I understand your hesitation, so I can promise not to be near her during the process, and we can provide you with an empty mountain and you can set all the safety measures you want."
The two True Monarchs exchange a glance, then they discussed with Zhen Biyu. Finally, she said: "Fine, what's the second condition?"
"My second and final condition is that I need a few drops of your source blood."
Immediately, Zhen Biyu guessed Wang Wei's goal, which was the same as her; used the power of the Five Elements from her Physique to increase his strength. Additionally, if she were to use his organs for something nefarious, he could reciprocate.
"Do you think this is a fair trade?" asked one of the True Monarchs.
"Why not?" replied Wang Wei. "My organs are refined by Innate Five Elements Materials. They are worth more than the Emperor Star Essense you provided."
These True Monarchs knew that this Sacred Son of the Dao Opening Sect was talking nonsense. Although what he said was true, that was taking into account all his organs. What they wanted was just a small piece.
Though very frustrated, they did not continue to argue about this. This exchange was very important to them. So, after a brief exchange, they decided to accept the terms.
Zhen Biyu handed over the Orb along with two drops of her source blood. Of course, she also cut off her connection with it. As for Wang Wei, he cut a few pieces of his organs, removed the power of Fate contained in them, then cut off the Fate that these pieces of organs had with him.
From now, they had no relationship whatsoever with him; they were simply organs with Five Elements Powers that came out of nowhere and just existed between Heaven and Earth.
Furthermore, he did not do anything to them. For once, he was always a person of his words, plus, the two sides signed the highest level of binding contracts possible in this world.
Immediately afterward, the two True Monarchs were given one of the floating mountains, then they started placing formations all around to protect Zhen Biyu; they even contacted their sect and have them ready in case something truly happens.
Inside the Sect Master Hall, after the people of the Five Element Pace left to prepare the security of the mountain, Wang Wei was still discussing with the upper echelons of the sect.
"What do you think of her?" asked his grandfather Wang Chang.
"Given that she was most likely born with a Pure Heart, her talent is perfectly suited for Taoism. Adding to that her Five Elements Balance Physique, her potential is nothing to laugh about."
Pure Heart is a state of mind where the mind or spirit has no dust and is not affected by desires, emotions, or complicated thoughts; the mind is peaceful, calm, and quiet. It is the perfect state to comprehend the rules or laws of Heaven and Earth.
This state can be accomplished through deep meditation and cultivation, but people born with such talent are considered true geniuses of cultivation. They are also sought after by the Taoist sects as it is easier for them to understand scriptures and Taoist philosophies.
