Legend had it that the East Sea Ever-Bright Pearl was a treasure discovered hundreds of years ago. The Emperor of Xi Yan had sent men to the East Sea in search of the immortal mountain of Penglai, and they found the pearl on a deserted island.
Rumor claimed its light was bright enough to illuminate an entire island. Ever since obtaining this precious treasure, the Emperor of Xi Yan had kept it on the highest floor of the palace's Exquisite Pagoda, only to be brought out once a year by the Priest.
Xi Yan had treasured the Ever-Bright Pearl for centuries; no one expected them to suddenly gift it to Beili.
"Master, is the East Sea Ever-Bright Pearl a type of Luminous Pearl?" Ye Qianning asked quietly.
"More or less. A Luminous Pearl can only light up a room, but the Ever-Bright Pearl is bright enough to illuminate an entire island." In his youth, Dean Chen had traveled to Xi Yan to lecture and had been fortunate enough to see it once during a ceremony held by the Priest.
