Soon, the invitations were prepared. Each invitation assigned a number which corresponded to a seat in the martial arts hall. During the lecture, the attendees would be seated according to the number on their invitations.
After the invitations were made, Jacopo headed to the House of Royals and handed James some invitations for front row seats in the martial arts hall.
After that, Jacopo sent out an announcement stating that not everyone who had reached the Ancestral God Rank could attend the lecture and would need an invitation. Even a Universe Lord would be denied entry if they turned up without an invitation.
Everyone was dumbfounded by the news. Other Universe Lords and Macrocosm Ancestral Gods immediately flocked to Jacopo one after another, requesting invitations.
Jacopo also boldly requested that they exchange treasures for an invitation to the lecture. He accepted miraculous herbs, treasures, cultivation methods, Genesis Stones, and other precious artifacts related to cultivation.
As time passed, Jacopo made a fortune for the Heavenly Court just by selling invitations. Jacopo said excitedly, “Dad, the other universes are loaded! They didn’t hesitate to offer up valuable treasures in exchange for an invitation.”
James was rather calm. These treasures were no longer useful to him at his current rank. He looked at Jacopo and said calmly, “Jacopo, you have the leverage to demand for more. If Macrocosm Ancestral Gods come to you for an invitation, ask them for a Quasi Chaotic Treasure. If they refuse, then don’t give them the invitation.”
Hearing this, Jacopo was slightly taken aback. After a while, he straightened up and said, “It seems I was playing it too safe. Thank you for the reminder, Dad.”
After speaking, Jacopo left. With James’ encouragement, he increased his demands and insisted on Quasi Chaotic Treasures in exchange for the invitations.
“You’re amazing, James.”
Henrik nodded approvingly at James and complimented him. “I didn’t expect you lecture to become such a huge sensation.”
Henrik knew about James’ return and his upcoming lecture. He came to the House of Royals to visit him in person. James stood up, stretched his body, and said, “I didn’t expect other universes to also hear about the lecture. I simply wanted it to benefit the Twelfth Universe. By the way…”
