Chapter 855 - Birthday
There were still three days left until the qualification battle, but Ancient City was already packed with people. People had come from all the territories and prefectures; they had even come from the Desolate Lands to participate in such a grand occasion. Everyone was aware that nothing in the Three Middle Realms was more important than the Title Battle, and nothing could steal its limelight.
However, there are exceptions to all rules, and, on this day, everyone in Ancient City was talking about a piece of art. Any person lucky enough to have seen this piece of art was astounded, and they all felt that they had benefited greatly from seeing it. Even Great Venerables were not an exception to this. Many people who still hadn’t gotten to see it could think of little else but to see it. However, not just anyone was able to see it.
That piece of art was now in the hands of the Mysterious Thunder School’s Master, Yao Tianshi, and no one dared to steal it. The many people who had a good relationship with Yao Tianshi got to see it. The piece of art consisted of just a single word—Doctrine.
It was rumored that many people had a miraculous moment of enlightenment after seeing the piece. However, the general consensus was that it was a pity they couldn’t study it for long. What had really caused the biggest sensation was that all great factions had started proposing offers for it, trying to buy it from Yao Tianshi. The offers proposed raised the price sky-high, and getting higher as time passed. Yao Tianshi was not willing to sell. He stated that the piece of art didn’t belong to him; he was just keeping it safe for a friend. It would be up to his friend to accept or reject their offers.
All factions desired then to meet Yao Tianshi’s friend.
“Since he asked me to hold his piece of art in safekeeping, it is obvious that he has gone away because he is occupied with a certain matter. He stated that he will show himself in the Title Battle.” Yao Tianshi had been disturbed by these prospective buyers many times, which was why he didn’t speak with them politely any longer.
It was only then that the factions stopped and decided to just wait for Yao Tianshi’s friend to show himself. But people still discussed this matter spiritedly. The Mysterious Thunder School was always alone and isolated, and its inheritance was passed down to just a single person. It was rarely in touch with other factions. Moreover, Yao Tianshi’s friends were so few that they could be counted on one hand.
