The third floor of the Five Directional Pagoda wasn't large. At first glance, it looked like an altar.
At the center of the Five Directional Pagoda was a giant stage. Atop the stage were nine burly figures.
Every single one of them radiated with the power of laws. They were metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, yang, wind, and lightning.
"Nine … Nine Sovereign Realm experts," Qin Wentian murmured.
Mo Qingyun's heart skipped a beat when he sensed the auras of the nine figures on the stage. He was shocked by the strength of the nine figures.
Mo Qingyun didn't hesitate any longer. He moved to the center of the stage.
Mo Qingyun noticed a stone table in the center of the stage. An ancient secret tome was placed on top of the stone table.
"The Secret Tome of Universal Imperial Puppet!"
Mo Qingyun picked up the ancient secret tome. It was a tome on how to control puppets.
After seeing the Secret Scroll of Universe Imperial Puppet, Mo Qingyun knew that the nine figures around him were nine puppets.
Mo Qingyun didn't hesitate any longer. He flipped open the Secret Tome of Universal Imperial Puppet.
When Mo Qingyun flipped open the Secret Tome of Universal Imperial Puppet, an ancient beast hide scroll fell out of the tome.
When he saw this, Mo Qingyun raised his hand and waved, and the ancient beast skin scroll flew into his hand.
I have studied the Secret Tome of Universal Imperial Puppet for several hundred years. I have finally made some progress and successfully created nine Sovereign puppets.
Although these nine puppets aren't very strong, they can still do some small things. I will give them to the fated person who obtains this tome.
… …
As Mo Qingyun continued reading, he learned how to control the nine puppets and how to use them in battle.
Mo Qingyun was overjoyed at this discovery. "Once I leave the Tianhun Continent, I will leave these nine puppets in the Mo Clan. Even if we run into any trouble, the Mo Clan will be able to protect itself."
Although the Mo Clan would still be protected by the Divine Mountain of Qing Yun, it was still an external force. It wasn't as direct as the nine puppets.
Mo Qingyun didn't hesitate any longer. He began to cultivate the Secret Tome of Universal Imperial Puppet.
This was because if he wanted to control the nine puppets, even if he had the method left behind by the Masters of the Five Forces, he still needed to successfully cultivate the Secret Scroll of Universe Manipulation.
Time passed bit by bit as Mo Qingyun cultivated.
… …
While Mo Qingyun was cultivating the Secret Tome of Universal Imperial Puppet, Sovereign Xu Chao had already set up a banquet to entertain the people from the other Divine Mountains..
Inside the conference hall.
"Mountain Lord Xu Chao, other than congratulating the establishment of the Divine Mountain of Qing Yun, we have another important matter to discuss."
Mountain Lord Dan Qing put down his chopsticks as his expression became much more stern. He said with a deep voice, "I'm sure that the Azure Cloud Divine Mountain is well-informed. They should know about the invasion of the Demons and Ghosts. Moreover, the Sky Sword, Sky Spear, and Beastmaster Divine Mountains have already been destroyed by the Demons and Ghosts."
"The Skysword, Skysword, and Tame Beast Mountains have been destroyed by the demons and ghosts?"
Supreme Xanchao and the others were stunned when they heard Supreme Dan Qing's words. They were extremely surprised by his words.
Why didn't they know about this?
After a brief moment of shock, Sovereign Xu Chao and the others smiled. They knew that Mountain Lord Dan Qing and the others were mistaken.
However, Sovereign Xu Chao and the others didn't point this out. They continued to feign ignorance and waited to see what kind of trick they were playing.
Sovereign Xu Chao and the others' reactions made everyone's expression change. They believed that Sovereign Xu Chao and the others didn't know about the three Divine Mountains.
At the same time, the Empyrean Pool didn't know that the demons and ghosts had invaded the Tianhun Continent.
"Sovereign Xu Chao," Sima Bo continued, "I'm sure you don't know how strong the demons and ghouls are. If my guess is correct, the demons and ghouls invading the Tianhun Continent are likely to have Sovereigns among them."
"Sovereigns?"
Sovereign Xu Chao and the others' expressions changed again when they heard Sima Bo's words. His guess was quite accurate.
If Sima Bo and the others could guess that there were Sovereigns among the demons and ghosts, then they probably thought that only Sovereigns were capable of destroying the Skysword, Skysword, and Tame Beast Mountains.
"That's right. Only an expert at the Sovereign Realm would be able to silently destroy the three great sacred mountains."
"In the face of Sovereigns, our Divine Mountains must be united. Otherwise, we'll be defeated one by one."
"Mountain Lord Xu Chao, you all know about the omens of the Skysword, Skysword, and Tame Beast Mountains. You mustn't be careless!"
"That's why I believe that the five Divine Mountains should form an alliance. That's the best way to defend against the demons and ghosts!"
… …
Once the fox's tail was exposed, the Divine Mountains no longer bothered to hide their intentions. They eagerly urged Sovereign Xu Chao to form an alliance.
Sovereign Xu Chao and the others sneered at the Divine Mountains' reaction. They felt nothing but disdain for these people.
After beating around the bush for so long, their ultimate goal was to form an alliance with the Divine Mountain of Qing Yun.
Listen carefully, this was an alliance, not a plea for help.
Since they wanted to form an alliance, it had to do with the division of power. It was clear that the Divine Mountains weren't willing to be bound.
When the time came, there would definitely be a struggle for power. How could Sovereign Xu Chao and the others allow such a thing to happen?
More importantly, with the current strength of the Divine Mountain of Qing Yun, did they really need to form an alliance with the Divine Mountains?
"Haha, the matter of forming an alliance is too important. We still need to discuss it properly."
Understanding the Divine Mountains' thoughts, Sovereign Xu Chao smiled faintly at them. He didn't reject their suggestion right away.
Right now, there was only one thought in Sovereign Xu Chao's mind. He wanted to drag it out until Mo Qingyun came out of seclusion.
Hearing Sovereign Xu Chao's words, the Divine Mountains' experts frowned. This wasn't what they'd expected.
Sovereign Xu Chao was too calm. He didn't seem to care about their words at all, nor did he seem to have any intention of forming an alliance.
This wasn't the result they wanted. If they couldn't form an alliance, they wouldn't be able to stay in the Divine Mountain of Qing Yun for long.
Thinking of this, Sima Bo frowned. He said to Sovereign Xu Chao again, "Sovereign Xu Chao, the Demon Race and Ghost Race have come with great momentum. We absolutely cannot treat this matter with indifference. Please be careful. The way this old man sees it, the sooner we decide on the matter of forming an alliance, the better."
"Haha, there's no rush, no rush. Today's main purpose is to welcome you all. It won't be too late to discuss the matter of forming an alliance later."
Hearing Sima Bo's words, Sovereign Xu Chao was still as calm as ever. He changed the topic with a Taiji Fist.
Hearing Sovereign Xu Chao's words, the Divine Mountains' experts found it inappropriate to mention it again. Instead, they began to exchange pleasantries.
