Chapter 6049: No Ordinary Progenitors
âWait, somethingâs wrong.â Some emperors and desolate gods from Immortal Suppression felt something was off.
They had participated in the previous event and thought there should have been a formal announcement from Phantom Dynasty. The dynasty always sent invitations in the past, hoping for the top masters to join. T/his chapter is updat/ed by
âThey only know the timing of the opening and have no control over it.â One emperor said.
âIs there a reason why they want more participants?â Someone asked.
The major ghost market always took place within Phantom. Fortunes awaited the right traders. In theory, Phantom could control the flow so that only their members would benefit.
âItâs because of Specter Ancestor.â Someone else gave a firm answer, albeit without any elaboration.
âI think this is an unprecedented forceful opening of the market.â Another speculated.
âNo, this happened before already.â A master in Immortal Suppression said.
âSomeone opened it?â Listeners became emotional.
âNot even Specter Ancestor is strong enough to do this, right?â One of them said.
âHas to be a primal ancestor, at the very least.â One cultivator remarked.
âYes, but progenitors can also work together to open it.â The master said again.
Emperors questioned this because if this were true, their dynasty could start the market without waiting.
âProgenitors canât do that.â Someone voiced their disagreement.
âYour meager lifespan canât trade for anything.â A companion sneered: âThe ghosts wonât care for it.â
âDonât say that, Iâll be the first to test the waters, maybe if I come fast enough, theyâre starving and will be eager to suck out my life force, thatâs when I demand a high price.â The youth said.
âDream on, a little bit of life force wonât get you much.â The companion gave him the side eye.
âHavenât you heard of the legend? During the ancient times, a good-hearted mortal traded his kindness to the ghosts and became unbeatable later.â The youth said.
âTo get what you desire, you must give up what you value the most.â The companion had some experience and said: âWhat is it for you?â
The youth looked at himself up and down, aware he had nothing of value.
âMy life, thatâs the most precious and what I value the most.â The youth said.
âThen go big and offer your life. That might be enough in exchange for a wish such as killing your strongest enemy.â The companion said.
âIs that a joke? Whatâs the point of dealing with the enemies in exchange for my life? I rather just live in that case.â The youth said.
âThen Iâm afraid you will return empty-handed. I suppose half of your lifespan can get something decent, but to become an emperor? Impossible.â The companion shook his head.
âWhat should I ask for? Half of my lifespan...â The youth murmured.
âA treasure is fine.â The companion suggested.
âYou know what type of treasure I can get?â The youth asked.
âHard to say, they might not care enough but one might be generous.â The companion responded.
