"It's nothing, don't worry, the Primordial Pearl is just acting up," Xu Fang waved his hand, signaling them not to worry.
However, his words did not reassure them; instead, it made them more anxious.
Senior, how can you say that and expect us to be at ease! This is the Primordial Supreme Treasure, the Primordial Pearl! If it were to act up, how could anyone resist it!
Xu Fang didn't have time to explain to Mo Yu Qi Lin and the others. His attention was entirely focused on the Primordial Pearl. Fortunately, all the magical artifacts were working together, temporarily suppressing the Primordial Supreme Treasure and preventing it from affecting the Ding Hai Shen Zhu.
The Ding Hai Shen Zhu was outside the formation of magical artifacts, peeking out from behind Xu Fang.
"Don't worry, with us here, it can't harm you," Xu Fang breathed a sigh of relief and comforted the Ding Hai Shen Zhu.
The Primordial Pearl never imagined that it, as a Primordial Supreme Treasure, would have such a day, being suppressed by a group of junior magical artifacts. If this were to spread, how could it maintain its standing in the Primordial magical artifact world?
"You all deserve to die! How dare you treat me like this!"
"Hurry up and get out of the way, or I will unleash my wrath!"
"I am a Primordial Supreme Treasure, don't you know what it means to respect the old and love the young!"
The Primordial Pearl cried out repeatedly, but the magical artifacts completely ignored it, too disdainful to even reply. They continued to exert their powers, jointly suppressing the Primordial Pearl.
"Alright, Primordial Pearl, stop making a fuss. Such shouting and screaming is beneath your dignity as a Primordial Supreme Treasure," Xu Fang said from outside the formation of magical artifacts, looking at the Primordial Pearl.
"Xu Fang! Make them back off, or I will explode!" The Primordial Pearl knew that shouting at the magical artifacts was useless, so it roared at Xu Fang directly.
However, Xu Fang was unfazed by its threat.
"Explode? How can you explode? You're just a broken bead. If you really had the ability, why would you have wasted so much time talking to me earlier?"
The Primordial Pearl was a Primordial Supreme Treasure, but that was in the past. Its current grade was uncertain, and part of its fragments had become the Ding Hai Shen Zhu, greatly reducing its power. Otherwise, a dignified Primordial Supreme Treasure wouldn't be negotiating with Xu Fang, let alone being suppressed by a group of magical artifacts.
The Primordial Pearl did not expect Xu Fang to be so stubborn. After a moment's thought, it quickly said, "As long as I exist, your Ding Hai Shen Zhu will never know peace and will eventually reunite with me! If you let me go, I can consider sparing it!"
"That is indeed a problem!" Xu Fang pondered. The Primordial Pearl saw a glimmer of hope, but Xu Fang then shook his head repeatedly.
"If that's the case, I might as well destroy you directly and be done with it, so that you don't have a chance to abduct my Ding Hai Shen Zhu when we're not paying attention."
"Destroy me? Xu Fang, how dare you! I am a Primordial Supreme Treasure!" The Primordial Pearl exclaimed in disbelief.
"Precisely because you are a Primordial Supreme Treasure and difficult for us to suppress, wouldn't it be best to eliminate you completely?"
"This..." The Primordial Pearl was speechless. So, the power it boasted about had become a reason for its demise?
Xu Fang wasn't lying to the Primordial Pearl. Seeing its defiant attitude, it was clear it couldn't be used. However, letting such a Primordial Supreme Treasure exist was a great threat to him and the Ding Hai Shen Zhu, so it was best to nip the problem in the bud and resolve it from the source.
The Primordial Pearl saw that Xu Fang's expression was not faked and felt like crying without tears.
"I am a Primordial Supreme Treasure, how can you be so casual about destroying me? Do you have any appreciation for treasures? You, who is idolized by Duobao Dao Ren!"
"Xu Fang, you must understand that this Qilin Grotto-heaven was formed by me. If you destroy me, this Qilin Grotto-heaven will cease to exist. Can you bear to destroy the homeland of the Qilin tribe?" The Primordial Pearl knew that force wouldn't work, so it tried to use facts to scare Xu Fang.
"This is also a big problem!" Xu Fang pondered again. The Primordial Pearl was overjoyed, thinking there was hope this time.
However, Xu Fang ignored it and directly addressed Mo Yu Qi Lin.
"I am going to destroy this Primordial Pearl. This Qilin Grotto-heaven will disappear as a result. Do you have any thoughts on this?"
"We have no thoughts!"
"That's right, we mentioned moving earlier. Since Daoist Xu Fang, Senior Xu Fang, you mean to destroy this treasure, not obtain it?" Mo Yu Qi Lin responded, then suddenly realized something was wrong and exclaimed in shock.
Senior, must you be so crazy? This is the Primordial Pearl, a Primordial Supreme Treasure! How can you be so decisive when talking about destroying it?
The Golden-winged Great Peng and the other two were also shocked. They felt that their Senior was a bit different today, so resolute? That was a Primordial Supreme Treasure, and they weren't going to reconsider?
Xu Fang offered no further explanation and transmitted his voice to the Primordial Pearl.
"Listen, the leader of the Qilin tribe said it's fine. It seems you can't threaten me anymore."
The Primordial Pearl was momentarily speechless. What was going on? Weren't you going to reconsider? I am a Primordial Supreme Treasure!
Xu Fang had no intention of reconsidering and even shouted.
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and finish this!"
Upon hearing Xu Fang's words, the magical artifacts unleashed their brilliance and power.
"Wait!" Seeing the momentum, the Primordial Pearl could no longer hold back and shouted.
"Xu Fang, why are you so stubborn! Haven't you considered other solutions, like asking if I'm willing to join you?"
"I have considered it, but I thought that as a lofty and defiant Primordial Supreme Treasure, you wouldn't agree, so I didn't ask!"
"If you didn't ask, how do you know I wouldn't agree?"
"Since you wouldn't agree, why should I ask?"
"Alright, since you have invited me with such sincerity and have moved me, a Primordial Supreme Treasure, I have decided to join your Xu Fang Treasure Group and become a magical artifact in your hands!"
"..." This left Xu Fang speechless. The Primordial Pearl had just decided to join the Xu Fang Treasure Group on its own?
Seeing that Xu Fang had not yet responded, the magical artifacts did not stop and were ready to attack. The Primordial Pearl yelled in anger, "Stop! My fellow magical artifacts, don't attack! Can't you hear me? We are on the same side now!"
"This!" The magical artifacts, seeing this, could not continue their attack. They hovered in the air, awaiting Xu Fang's command.
Xu Fang never expected the Primordial Pearl to back down in the end. In his opinion, as a Primordial Supreme Treasure, it was proud and ambitious, focused on merging with the Ding Hai Shen Zhu to regain its Primordial Supreme Treasure status. With such lofty aspirations, how could it possibly surrender to him?
However, the Primordial Pearl had no choice. Negotiations had failed, and threats were ineffective. If it didn't back down now, would it really perish with its pride?
