"Ding! The Life Choice System has been randomly triggered. The host can make the following choices..."

  [Option 1: Strongly refuse, slap Jiang Xuanying, and question her status compared to yours, daring her to even look at your Human Emperor Banner. Reward: A random cultivation technique.]

  [Option 2: Defy the heavens, take this opportunity to make an excessive demand of Jiang Xuanying, asking her to spend the night with you before showing her the Human Emperor Banner. Reward: A random divine ability.]

  [Option 3: Act indifferent, casually reveal the Human Emperor Banner to Jiang Xuanying, letting her see it without concern. Reward: A random spiritual item.]

  [Option 4: Betray your master and ancestors, preemptively strike, and use the Human Emperor Banner to kill Jiang Xuanying, telling her she touched your reverse scale. Reward: A random spiritual treasure.]

  Looking at the system options that appeared before him, Xiao Ming was speechless at the system.

  It was even more outrageous than Xiao Ren.

  "System, I choose three."

  After complaining about the system, Xiao Ming immediately made his choice.

  One must have a conscience and humanity; otherwise, he would be just like that scoundrel Xiao Ren.

  "Ding! Congratulations to the host for making a choice and receiving the reward [Pure World Soul Lotus]."

  "The reward has been automatically placed in the system space and can be extracted and inherited with one click after the host completes the choice."

  [Pure World Soul Lotus]: A heavenly spiritual root born in a place of extreme evil, possessing a mysterious purifying power that can cleanse all negative energy in the world.

  It can merge with the soul, and the purifying power it can release after merging will depend on the strength of the host's soul power.

  "It's actually a heavenly spiritual root?!"

  Seeing the reward this time, Xiao Ming felt a bit surprised.

  Heavenly spiritual roots.

  These are extremely rare treasures; although they cannot directly enhance a being's cultivation, they can grant cultivators some incredible innate abilities.

  Unexpectedly, this choice resulted in obtaining a heavenly spiritual root.

  It was a huge gain.

  After marveling internally, Xiao Ming had nothing to hide and calmly took out the Human Emperor Banner.

  Since the Human Emperor Banner was no longer a secret, he might as well let Jiang Xuanying see it if she wanted to.

  Even if she harbored covetous thoughts, he could still summon Liu Shen.

  This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

  However, he still believed that this master would not be greedy; otherwise, she would have just taken it by force.

  After all, she didn't know he had a demon emperor protecting him.

  With a wave of his right hand, the Human Emperor Banner appeared before the three of them, its terrifying aura condensing into rolling black smoke, causing Jiang Xuanying's pupils to involuntarily contract.

  Even she felt a tremor from the depths of her soul.

  And the stronger one's cultivation, the stronger this feeling.

  So, at this moment, Jiang Xuanying felt as if she were facing a great terror, causing her hair to stand on end in shock.

  "Is this the Forbidden Soul Banner?!"

  "No, this is the Human Emperor Banner forged by the ancient Human Emperor Xuanyuan Ditiantian!!"

  Taking a deep breath to suppress her inner shock, Jiang Xuanying recognized the Human Emperor Banner at this moment.

  After all, she came from the ancient Jiang clan and was the young oracle of the Jiang family, knowing many things from ancient times.

  She had seen records of the Human Emperor Banner in the ancient books of the Jiang family.

  This extreme emperor weapon disappeared from all major domains of the Cangyuan Realm after Xuanyuan Ditiantian's fall.

  Unexpectedly, it was in Xiao Ming's possession.

  "Do you know what this is?"

  With her heart racing, Jiang Xuanying looked at Xiao Ming, her voice low.

  "I know, it's the extreme emperor weapon forged by the ancient Human Emperor Xuanyuan Ditiantian..."

  Xiao Ming replied calmly.

  Seeing Jiang Xuanying's reaction, he figured she had already recognized it.

  So there was no need to continue making up stories; it was better to admit it openly and see how this master would react.

  "......"

  After Xiao Ming finished speaking, Jiang Xuanying fell silent.

  She thought Xiao Ming didn't recognize its value, but he did.

  Even Feng Xianhuang beside her just looked at her solemnly, without a trace of shock in her eyes.

  It seemed she already knew it was the Human Emperor Banner.

  This made Jiang Xuanying feel quite frustrated.

  Her disciple had an extreme emperor weapon, yet she, as the master, was completely unaware.

  "Do you know how tempting this thing is? Even an Emperor stage expert would be envious."

  "Aren't you afraid that your master might become greedy, take it for herself, or even kill you to silence you?"

  Jiang Xuanying said softly, a terrifying aura quietly spreading.

  This made Feng Xianhuang's eyes darken, her body tensing up.

  She knew Xiao Ming's trump card.

  If this master became greedy, a battle would be inevitable.

  "I trust that Master won't!"

  After Jiang Xuanying finished speaking, Xiao Ming replied with a faint smile.

  "Although Master sometimes seems unreliable, I believe she is not someone who would abandon her principles for external gains."

  "......"

  Hearing Xiao Ming's response, Jiang Xuanying's mouth twitched slightly, then she retracted her aura.

  "Little one, this is not just any external object, but an extreme emperor weapon!"

  "Even an Emperor would go crazy for it!"

  Jiang Xuanying looked at the Human Emperor Banner, her voice growing deeper as if she thought of something.

  "Remember, never underestimate human nature. In the face of absolute benefits, some relationships are just illusions."

  Just as Jiang Xuanying finished speaking, Xiao Ming suddenly smiled and interjected.

  "Master's words are undeniable, but in the face of absolute trust, all external objects are also illusions."

  "This... depends on the person!"

  With these two sentences, Jiang Xuanying was momentarily stunned, looking at Xiao Ming with a peculiar gaze.

  Then a smile appeared on her face.

  "You little rascal, no wonder that Peak Master and those two little girls are willing to help you remove the poison."

  "But Master still wants to remind you, never trust others lightly."

  "Put this thing away, and unless absolutely necessary, don't use it in front of others, or leave no witnesses."

  "Human greed is far more terrifying than you think..."

  Jiang Xuanying waved her hand, took a sip from the wine gourd at her waist to calm her emotions.

  She didn't expect Xiao Ming to trust her so much, to take out the Human Emperor Banner so readily.

  Of course.

  It might also be that Xiao Ming had some kind of trump card, making him unafraid of her as his master.

  But regardless, Xiao Ming's words and actions made her very satisfied.

  Xiao Ming put away the Human Emperor Banner, a faint smile on his lips.

  In truth...

  He didn't fully trust Jiang Xuanying; he dared to take out the Human Emperor Banner because of the trump card he held.

  And he wanted to use this opportunity to test Jiang Xuanying's character.

  Fortunately.

  She didn't disappoint him; she was a master with a conscience.

  "Well, one of you possesses an extreme emperor weapon, and the other has the Emperor's divine sense. Although I don't know how many secrets you two are hiding, remember that you are both my disciples."

  "In the future, if you encounter any problems that Master can solve, don't hesitate to ask."

  "Of course..."

  "I hope you can maintain your true selves, no matter what inheritance you carry, never lose yourself."

  "Otherwise, if you ever become evil, Master will have no choice but to eliminate you."

  After Xiao Ming's thoughts subsided, Jiang Xuanying looked at the two of them and said.

  "Also, when you both reach the Dharma Aspect stage, Master will need your help with two matters."

  "I hope you won't refuse..."

  With that, Jiang Xuanying turned and left, her figure disappearing before the two of them, presumably returning to her cave.

  This made Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang's eyes flicker.

  "Hey, you wouldn't be thinking of pursuing this master, would you?"

  Just as Xiao Ming was pondering what Jiang Xuanying might need their help with later.

  Feng Xianhuang's sudden words nearly made him spit out his drink.
