Even though it was a huge loss for Glory Sect this time around, thinking about the state Jiuxiao Sect was in right now, it was no different from being annihilated.
The Grandmaster was dead, and so were the Senior Elders. Not even 10% of the top fighters were left. From now on, the burden on Xinfeng's shoulders would be extremely heavy.
As a brother, he would help if he could. Even if he couldn't, he would give it his all.
At the Grandmaster's Peak, the few Great Elders of Glory Sect were extremely gloomy right now. To them, there wasn't much that could affect their mental state. However, this incident had completely destroyed their steel-like hearts.
"Lin Fan, the reason why Glory Sect was able to tide through this ordeal is all thanks to you. Do you have any requests?" Yan Hongyu asked.
Lin Fan had contributed the most this time around. If not for the fact that Lin Fan had returned, Glory Sect would have been crippled entirely. Everyone present would have died by now.
Yan Hongyu blamed himself as well. This was all his fault. He had not been wary of Han Yongyi at all. To think that they would meet with such a calamity.
"Grandmaster, fellow Elders, we can discuss our requests later. I just want to know why the Xuanhuang World was split into two. It was evident that Jiuxiao Sect's Grandmaster and the others were invaded by an evil being. For an evil being to be able to invade a greater celestial full cultivation being, it must be something else." Lin Fan asked. He knew that the Grandmaster and the others would definitely understand.
As one of the top sects in the Dongling Continent, Glory Sect would definitely know a lot of secrets. No one in this world would be so bored as to expend so much effort just to separate themselves from the rest of the world. Even Lin Fan, who had fused with the Eternal Arm, did not have such capabilities, let alone everyone present.
At the same time, Lin Fan had many questions in his heart. Back in the Xuanhuang World, a greater celestial full cultivation being was already the pinnacle. But to Lin Fan, how could this be possible?
Let alone a mere Eternal Arm. Even that evil being's cultivation base was way higher than a greater celestial full cultivation being.
Furthermore, now that the Eternal Arm and Eternal Donger had appeared, where were the other parts of the Donger?
All of this, all of this, was a mystery.
Yan Hongyu exchanged glances with the other elders, then took a deep breath. Waving his sleeves, a mystical stone flew out from his sleeves. This stone was extremely ordinary, and one could not tell what was different about it. However, at this moment, a light screen suddenly burst forth from the surface of the stone.
"You will know everything that we know soon," Yan Hongyu said.
Looking at the illusory figure projected from the rock, Lin Fan frowned.
What was displayed on the screen was the Xuanhuang World that had yet to be split into two. Within that screen of light was a figure that stood tall between the Heavens and the Earth, looking down at the world with pride.
"Even if we are forced to retreat again and again, the last sacred land of the human race cannot be violated."
That figure suddenly became incomparably tall. Even if it was just a light screen, Lin Fan was still shocked by this formless aura. If he was under that aura, he would probably vanish into thin air.
With just a single punch, the entire world quaked as the Laws flowed in reverse. A bright screen split the entire Xuanhuang World apart.
As though it had lost all of its energy, that towering figure broke apart into six shards that shot out in all directions, disappearing entirely.
To Lin Fan, those six shards were the Supreme Being's Token Shards.
Looking at everything, Lin Fan could not snap back to his senses for a long time.
Now that he had obtained one of the shards, even a single punch from that shard could not compare to the strength of the punch from that illusory figure.
In fact, even the Eternal Arm might not be a match for the other party.
Lin Fan went silent. Back when he had obtained the Eternal Arm, he had thought that he was invincible. But, it was only now that he realized that he was still extremely tiny. There were still dangers that he did not know of outside of the Xuanhuang World.
"These are all that we know. Glory Sect has been established for 10,000 years, and we have been searching for the truth. However, even after countless of years of research, our ancestors have not been able to find out the truth. Perhaps, the only way to unravel this mystery is to collect all six of the Supreme Being's Token Shards." Yan Hongyu said.
"As for those evil beings that can invade one's body, there are no records of them at all. Therefore, we do not know anything about them."
...
"Master, there's no rush for this. Let's take it slow. Let's talk about what we were discussing earlier on." Lin Fan's initially solemn face changed instantly.
"This time around, in order to rush to Glory Sect from Jiuxiao Sect, which was hundreds of thousands of miles away, I had to sacrifice half of Jiuxiao Sect's treasure vault. I feel that even though Glory Sect had suffered a great loss, it wasn't as great as Jiuxiao Sect's. Therefore, my request was for half of the treasures in Glory Sect's treasure vault to be gifted to Jiuxiao Sect." Lin Fan continued, observing the faces of the Grandmaster and Elders.
The moment the Grandmaster and Senior Elders heard that they had to give up half of the treasure vault, their faces changed instantly. It was as though someone was trying to slice off a piece of flesh from their bodies.
That was a treasure vault! Something that Glory Sect had accumulated through generations of hard work over the past 10,000 years!
Now that half of it was gone, anyone would feel the pain in their hearts.
If it were just one or two items, Yan Hongyu would have just waved his hands generously, showing his generosity as a Grandmaster of a great sect. But now that he was asking for half of it, wasn't he just asking for their lives?
"Hais, I know that the Grandmaster and the Elders have agreed to this. Back when Jiuxiao Sect was on the brink of destruction, the treasure spirit within sacrificed all of its treasures without caring about its own life. Do you guys know what that treasure spirit said when he heard that I had to rush back to save Glory Sect?" Looking at the masses, Lin Fan's face was filled with shock and admiration.
"What did he say?" Yan Hongyu and the others were curious. They knew of treasure spirits. They were a bunch of selfish fellas who viewed treasures as their lives, and no one could win them over.
"He said that Glory Sect was a sect that had been on good terms with Jiuxiao Sect for generations. Even if he had to give up all of his treasures, he had to succeed in the sacrifice. If it wasn't enough, he was willing to give up his life to be the sacrifice. Tell me, is it too much to give up half of the treasures to Jiuxiao Sect? Of course not! If it were me, I would have given it all up as well. That's the only way to repay this debt of gratitude! "Lin Fan's acting skills had improved tremendously as he lamented with tears streaming down his face.
Yan Hongyu and the Senior Elders looked at one another, as though they were trying to communicate with one another.
Yan Hongyu: "What should we do? That b * stard wants half!"
Wuya: "Siding with an outsider! I really want to slap him to death! But I don't think we can beat him!"
Yan Zhanwen: "Heartache. I don't want to talk."
Lv Mingyang: "All treasure spirits in this world are the same. Is Jiuxiao Sect an exception?"
Yan Hongyu: "Just ask if you're giving or not."
Wuya: "Forget it. Since things have come to this, this lad is just siding with that little brother of his."
All the Senior Elders sighed silently, "Hais …"
"Cough …" Yan Hongyu retracted his gaze and coughed gently. Looking at Lin Fan, he continued, "That's right. If Jiuxiao Sect can do this, then Glory Sect can naturally not let them down. Half it is then. Take my token and head to the treasure vault to choose from the treasure spirits yourself."
The moment Lin Fan heard this, he let out a smile, "You're wise, Master."
"Yes." Yan Hongyu nodded his head. Even though his face was solemn, his heart was filled with pain. This was a forced calmness.
