"Meh. He's nothing special. Just lucky enough to stumble into a minor Dao enlightenment in this world. I had one last month myself. Tch. If it had come a few days later, even I could've triggered this treasure land."
"Doesn't matter. What's the point? Dao treasures aren't that easy to use. They demand affinity. Without it, they're nothing but ornaments. My family has one passed down for generations, a water-aligned Dao treasure. Not a single person in our bloodline has water affinity. It's basically a glorified rock."
"Then sell it. The major factions are buying Dao treasures like mad right now. Something big is about to happen. They're pushing all their young elites to ascend as fast as possible."
"Oh? Since when? I've heard nothing about this."
"Mmhmm. Word is the Blessed Heavens have started releasing events everywhere. Back-to-back. And strangely… every single one revolves around the same thing."
"The same thing?"
"The Golden Throne."
A brief silence followed.
