The crowd traced her steps as Gu Ruoyun slowly made her way to the spirit stone . She gathered a slight amount of spiritual energy into her palm before slowly enveloping her entire fist .
Bang!
Her fist, wrapped in a layer of powerful energy, slammed against the spirit stone with a loud noise .
The entire spirit stone trembled instantly before everything returned to silence once again . The spirit stone remained still before the eyes of the crowd .
"Hahaha!"
Su Lin could not help but burst into laughter at the sight of this and laughed so hard that she began to tear up . She then exclaimed in a disdainful voice, "Gu Ruoyun, looks like I've overestimated you! I thought that though you haven't reached the exceptional state, you would be a Martial Saint at least! I never thought that your power would turn out to be so little! Let me guess your rank, are you a Martial General? Martial King?"
Everyone else's eyes filled with disdain as well as they stared disapprovingly at Gu Ruoyun who was standing in front of the spirit stone .
Crack!
However, before Su Lin's laughter could die down, a clear sound rang out in her ear . She could not help but turn around again to look .
At first glance, her entire being was shaken and her laughter, which she had no time to hold back, had turned her very red in the face . However, she had no time to care about that now . Her large eyes could only widen in terror as she stared at the scene before her in disbelief .
Crack!
Crack!
Cracks began to appear increasingly on the stone tablet until it broke apart with a bang and turned into a pile of rubble .
Gu Ruoyun was shocked and looked at her hand before furrowing her brows .
"I had clearly held back on my powers so how could this have happened?"
In the midst of her confusion, the White Tiger, Yunyao, replied from within her soul .
"Master, this spirit stone uses different methods but produces similar results to the diamond tablet which you had seen in the Banished Lands . The only difference was that the diamond tablet had been used to test one's talent . This spirit stone only measures power but regardless of which tablet it was, they share one characteristic — they would turn to dust whenever they are touched by the Flames of Nirvana! Due to your contract with Zixie, your power also contains the Flames of Nirvana . Therefore, no matter how much power you've used to hit it, the spirit stone will crumble as well . "
Gu Ruoyun's frown deepened even more when she heard this explanation . At this rate, everything would become even more troublesome .
"Eunuch Li! Is something wrong with this spirit stone? How could it have crumbled just like that?"
Just as Gu Ruoyun was deep in thought, a graceful voice rang out from the side .
"That's right!"
As soon as the Imperial consort had spoken, the dumbstruck Su Lin also returned to her senses . She gritted her teeth as she glared hatefully at Gu Ruoyun, "Even if a cultivator in the refined state were to hit the stone with all their might, they might not be able to destroy the spirit stone . I don't think she has the power of a cultivator in the refined state so this spirit stone must have reached the brink of destruction after experiencing countless hits from others . Even an average person would have been able to destroy this spirit stone!"
"This . . . "
Eunuch Li felt troubled . He fell momentarily silent before he said, "My Lady and Eldest Lady Su, I need to report this matter to the Emperor and leave the final decision to Him . Everyone else please wait here . "
Eunuch Li then walked away hastily . He ignored the voices behind him as he hurriedly walked towards the direction of the study .
. . .
A man dressed in dragon robes was sitting in front of a desk in the Imperial Study . His sharp brows reached his temples and he was unusually handsome . His entire body was filled with dominance as if he was a heavenly being that rules over the heavens and earth .
This man was the Supreme Ruler of the Heavenly Moon Empire . However, one should not be mistaken just because he looks young . In reality, he was an old monster who has been alive for several hundred years .
