True Lord Profundity’s words clearly reaffirmed the fact that Venerable Master Zhai Xing possessed a fragment from the Gate of Destinies. After she said this, a commotion broke out. Countless martial wills seethed to and fro in the atmosphere, and the discussions were brought to a great height.
At the sight of this, the corners of True Lord Profundity’s lips curled up into a satisfied smile. She continued, “Everyone, please calm down. The Gate of Destinies has the effect of suppressing a world, opening up the universe, and crossing to the opposite shores. However, a lot of resources are required to create it.
“Currently, our Flying Celestial Sect, the Ascendant Heavenly Sect, and the Longevity Palace have agreed to join forces to create the Gate of Destinies at all costs.
“However, it’s still insufficient with the efforts from our three sects. We’ll still need the support from all our fellows here…”
Fang Xingjian’s martial will kept scanning the conjured physiques of the four True Lords in the sky, but he had not managed to find the Venerable Master Zhai Xing. He could not be bothered to see how the four True Lords were going to get the various sects to submit to them or how the various sects were going to oppose then. Right now, he was only waiting for Venerable Master Zhai Xing’s arrival.
As True Lord Profundity explained this, a few sects immediately stepped forth to indicate that they were supportive of the idea. These few sects were clearly those who had been taken in prior to this event.
While those sects stepped forward, the rest of the sects continued to exchange glances and did not make any move. Clearly, it was just the minority who were willing to handover their sects’ authority just like that.
Just as True Lord Profundity was frowning secretly and wanting to make her next move, the Calvary Society’s Chief—a tier six Divine level expert—stepped forth and said, “True Lord Profundity, everyone’s sects have been passed down by their ancestors for hundreds or thousands of years. We can’t possibly just hand them over so easily.”
“That’s right. The legacies that my Master instructed me at his deathbed to pass down mustn’t be destroyed in my hands.”
“Our Great Harmony Sect has been established for 3,000 years. If it were to be discontinued in my hands, I won’t be able to face my Master and martial ancestors after my death.”
With the Calvary Society stepping out, many other sects started announcing in tow. Clearly, they were all unwilling to have their sects be merged with the Flying Celestial Sect.
Someone even said loudly, “For the recreation of the Gate of Destinies, we’ll just contribute the money and labor we have. Why must all the sects be unified and merged with the Flying Celestial Sect?”
“That’s right. Aren’t you, the Flying Celestial Sect, being too domineering?”
Hearing this, True Lord Profundity let out a cold smile, and four streams of qi activities soared into the air. Invisible martial wills rapidly extended out, wanting to encompass the entire place.
The four True Lords from the Flying Celestial Sect had released their auras and wanted to use their martial wills to suppress everyone.
The moment they took action, tier eight Divine level auras encased the entire place, and almost 99% of the sects instantly fell silent. It was as if they were ducks that had been grabbed by the neck, unable to speak a single word under the great pressure.
Faced against tier eight Divine level powers, most of the sects were not even able to straighten their backs.
However, at the instant the martial wills were released, six streams of powers also rose up from the crowd, clashing fiercely in the air with the four True Lords’ martial wills. The martial wills collided and caused the entire space to distort and darken.
The ones who had made their moves were Adam, Dante, Tang Xian, Huang Shan, Zhao Hao, and the Mysterious Firmament Palace’s Palace Lord—another tier eight Divine level expert.
A total of ten tier eight Divine level experts made a move concurrently, and the seething powers clashed repeatedly in the sky. The clash almost scattered all of the sunlight within a range of 1,000 lis, causing the entire place to fall into darkness like the end of the world had arrived.
Tang Xian smiled coldly and said, “Why, attacking just because the talks aren’t going well? Is this how the Flying Celestial Sect does things?”
True Lord Abstrusity walked out from behind True Lord Profundity, squinted his eyes, and said, “Tang Xian…” He looked behind Tang Xian and saw Zhao Hao and Huang Shan, who were both also at tier eight of the Divine level. Then he continued coldly, “You’ve really hidden yourself well.”
The rest of the people were also taken by surprise at the other two tier eight Divine level experts who had suddenly appeared in the Repose Palace.
Adam and Dante also threw an additional glance toward Tang Xian, thinking, ‘This Tang Xian has the looks of a powerful and ambitious person. Not only has he reached tier eight of the Divine level at such a young age, but he also has two other companions who are also at tier eight of the Divine level. Sigh, why are there so many geniuses in this world? If this were to go on, how long will it take before our world will be able to catch up to this place?’
However, at the sight of this, Elder Di suddenly jumped out and shouted furiously, “Tang Xian, are you crazy? If you want to die, don’t drag the Repose Palace down along with you.”
“And you guys!” Elder Di glared at the other tier eight Divine level experts who had also made a move. He shouted like a mad dog that had been released by its owner, “Do you want to become enemies with our Flying Celestial Sect? Have you forgotten what happened a few days ago?”
Hearing his words, the rest of the people—who were raring to go and had intense emotions of wanting to put up a fight flashing in their eyes—became stunned. They thought of the scenes in which Venerable Master Zhai Xing had made a move personally.
Several tens of sects were suppressed in turn, and over ten tier eight Divine level experts had their conjured physiques destroyed. Not even a hint of their clones had managed to escape.
At this moment, the terror brought from Venerable Master Zhai Xing once again clouded everyone’s hearts. The courage and fury they had just summoned were instantly extinguished.
Seeing this, a hint of complacence flashed in Elder Di’s eyes.
However, right then, Tang Xian stood out fearlessly. Under everyone’s surprised gaze, he shouted at the four True Lords, “It’s not impossible if you want us to submit. Get Zhai Xing to bring out the fragment from the Gate of Destinies and show everyone. Otherwise, who knows if you are just trying to scam us?”
True Lord Abstrusity 1 let out a cold snort, and the menace in his eyes deepened. Tang Xian’s attitude had clearly angered him.
“Our Flying Celestial Sect isn’t a sect without any trustworthiness,” True Lord Abstrusity said. “Recreating the Gate of Destinies is a great plan for the entire world and isn’t done for just a single person or a single sect alone.
“Everyone has probably sensed that in recent years, even the cultivating resources in the higher realm has been decreasing. Our world is becoming increasingly unsuitable for cultivation.
“If this carries on, what awaits us will just be death upon the depletion of our life spans.
“Only by recreating the Gate of Destinies and reaching the opposite shores will we be able to resolve the problem.”
“Don’t be going on with the trash talk,” Zhao Hao, who was standing behind Tang Xian, said with contempt. “Who knows if you guys are just taking this opportunity to fill your own pockets? What if you manage to gather the resources and recreate the Gate of Destinies but end up running away by yourself, what’s going to happen to us?
“And all that talk about attaining great Dao and reaching the opposite shores… Who knows what that means? Who knows where the opposite shores are and if the place is better than the higher realm?”
“Impudence!”
True Lord Abstrusity’s eyes kept twitching, and he finally slapped out with his palm. He sent forth layers of martial will, forming a tsunami that struck out toward Zhao Hao.
The tsunami formed from the layers of martial will kept on accumulating as the layers increased. By the time it arrived before Zhao Hao, the tsunami’s prowess had already increased by over 100 times. Almost every inch of the space it passed by had been stretched out several times by this gush of power.
