"Is Senior Yan Huang doing well?"
Although Xing Jue was very concerned about the so-called calamity, the first thing that came to Xing Jue's mind was the safety of the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise.
One of the most important reasons why Xing Jue wanted to start this war was because of the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise. Therefore, when Xing Jue saw the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix, he couldn't help but ask about the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise.
"Don't worry, he's my master. I've treated him very well!" The Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix chuckled. However, there was a strange and unsettling feeling in his smile.
"If that's the case, then the Asura Palace is willing to stop this war."
After receiving the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix's reply, Xing Jue turned his wrist and a strange token appeared in his hand. After that, he inputted a few strange runes onto the token. Then, Xing Jue gave the order to the Asura Palace's army to stop the war.
This was a token similar to the Soul Devouring Order. It was a symbol of status, and Xing Jue's token was the highest token in the Asura Palace. Therefore, the order given by it was equivalent to the highest order. However, due to some special reasons, only Xing Jue could use this token.
"Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix, since Palace Master Xing Jue has agreed to stop the war, shouldn't your Beast City fulfill its promise?" Seeing that Xing Jue had already given the order to stop the war, before Xing Jue could say anything, Dugu Haoyu smiled and said to the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix.
"Hehe, of course. I, the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix, have always put the big picture first." The Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix let out a strange smile and gave the order to the Beast City's army.
Xing Jue and the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix's orders were quickly transmitted to the higher ups of the two powers. Although the armies of the Beast City and the Asura Palace were puzzled by the sudden order, they didn't dare to disobey it, because it was an order given directly by the leaders of the two powers.
While giving the order, both Xing Jue and the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix ordered their subordinates to monitor each other's actions, in case they failed to fulfill their promise and caused unnecessary losses.
Half an hour after the execution and Profound Channeling Ghost Phoenix's orders, the higher-ups of the Asura Palace and Beast City finally reported back to them. Beast City and the Asura Palace had stopped fighting, and the war that had shaken the entire Towering Sky Region had finally come to an end.
However, the various powers that were paying close attention to the war were guessing why the two powers had suddenly stopped fighting. But no matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't figure it out.
At this moment, the Mystical Palace's Hall Master, Dugu Haoyu, the Demon Refinement Tribe's Patriarch, Yao Yutian, the Sacred Pill Clan's Patriarch, Lady Dan, the Beast City Lord, Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix, and the Asura Palace's Hall Master, Xing Jue, were all sitting in the main hall. These five people were the highest existences in the Martial Sky Continent. At the very least, they represented the five most powerful powers.
"Can you tell me what's going on with the so-called calamity now?" After confirming that both sides had stopped fighting, Xing Jue asked impatiently.
"Patriarch Yao, you're closer to Hall Master Xing Jue. Why don't you tell him everything?" Dugu Haoyu smiled and pushed the topic to Yao Yutian, who was sitting beside Xing Jue.
"Xing Jue, I believe you must have heard of the legend of the Heavenly Phenomenon, right?" Seeing this, Yao Yutian did not refuse. Instead, he turned around and asked Xing Jue with a smile.
"Yes. Legend has it that when the Heavenly Phenomenon appears in the sky of the Martial Sky Continent, an irresistible calamity will befall the continent. But that's just a legend. Does it really exist?" Xing Jue asked curiously.
In fact, when Dugu Haoyu mentioned the so-called calamity, the first thing that came to Xing Jue's mind was that it had something to do with the Heavenly Phenomenon hovering in the sky.
"That's right. The legend of the Heavenly Phenomenon is not groundless. It really exists. Furthermore, according to an ancient record that my Demon Refinement Race obtained, this Heavenly Phenomenon has truly appeared in the ancient era. This violet sky is that legendary Heavenly Phenomenon," said Yao Yutian.
"This is the ancient record that my Demon Refinement Race obtained from an ancient ruin. It clearly records the matter of the Heavenly Phenomenon." Yao Tianyu flicked his wrist, and a thick book filled with an ancient aura appeared in his hand.
Xing Jue didn't hesitate. He hastily took the book and began to flip through it. But when he flipped to the first page, Xing Jue sensed the aura of time contained within the book. That aura was so ancient that it felt like it had existed for tens of thousands of years. Perhaps this was a true item from the ancient era.
At this moment, Xing Jue suddenly thought of the Star Emperor's ruins on the Eastern Continent. Everyone had called it an ancient ruin. Now that he thought about it, a thousand years had passed in the blink of an eye. It was like the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise had lived for thousands of years.
So now that he thought about it, he found it a bit funny. That was a matter of how high one's vision was. In that kind of place, a thousand years was ancient history. A thousand years was simply too distant for them.
As the words from the Ancient Era flowed into Xing Jue's mind, Xing Jue's heart began to boil.
Xing Jue had discovered that the Heavenly Phenomenon would indeed bring a calamity to the Martial Heaven Continent. Furthermore, the calamity would be so terrifying that it would turn the Martial Heaven Continent into a land of blood.
This ancient record clearly recorded the terrifying scene of the first calamity of the Martial Heaven Continent. However, the thing that shocked Xing Jue the most was that this record also clearly stated that after that calamity, almost all life on the continent had been wiped out.
But if that was really the case, how could there be so many humans and Magical Beasts? This made Xing Jue think of the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise's words.
The Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise had said that the ancient races and Magical Beasts had descended on the Martial Heaven Continent thousands of years ago and had multiplied until now.
"Could it be that the records of the Ancient Era happened before the ancient races descended?" Thinking of that, Xing Jue couldn't help but form a question mark in his heart.
This was because Xing Jue suspected that the destruction of the continent recorded in the historical records happened before the ancient races and magical beasts descended on the continent. In other words, after the continent lost all life and became a lifeless continent, new life appeared and revived the continent. Those people were the ancestors of these people.
"If that's the case, it's no wonder that there are no records of the Heavenly Phenomenon descending into the world in the current history books," Xing Jue muttered to himself after figuring out this problem. Then, he continued to read.
"Saint Stone! What is this? "
But as he continued reading, Xing Jue was shocked to discover a term he had never heard of before: Saint Stone.
"Xing Jue, the Saint Stone is the most precious item left behind from that calamity."
"In other words, it's because of these Saint Stones that there was a calamity. These Saint Stones are the source of the calamity." When Xing Jue involuntarily exclaimed the words' Saint Stone ', Yao Yutian smiled and explained before Xing Jue could continue reading.
Seeing Yao Yutian speak, Xing Jue closed the book in his hand and asked, "Demon Clan Leader, what's going on?"
This ancient tome of history was obtained by the Demon Refinement Clan, so Yao Yutian must have studied it multiple times. Therefore, he was most likely the most knowledgeable about the phenomenon in the sky. Rather than reading it himself, it was better to ask Yao Yutian directly.
"Speaking of the Saint Stone, it's an incredible item. Xing Jue, do you know about the Sacred Region?" Yao Yutian smiled at Xing Jue.
"Yes." Xing Jue nodded in agreement.
"This Saint Stone is an item of the Sacred Region," sighed Yao Yutian.
"Eh, could it be that the Sacred Region really exists?" Xing Jue's face was filled with astonishment.
"Yes, the Sacred Region definitely exists. It's a paradise for cultivators. The experts there only need to move a finger to crush us to death. That's because they are not Combat Emperors or Combat Emperors, but Battle Saints."
"Battle Saints are the highest level of cultivators. It's said that not only do they possess absolute power, they can also live forever."
"Don't look at how we are already Combat Emperors. If we are unable to comprehend the power of a Battle Saint and break through to that level, there will be a day when we will be swallowed by the merciless passage of time and die of old age."
"However, it's not that easy to break through to the Battle Saint realm. Throughout the history of the Sky Martial Continent, there have been countless High Level Combat Emperors, but there are only a few who can step into the Sacred Region. Xing Jue, do you know why?" Yao Yutian suddenly asked Xing Jue.
"Please enlighten me, Patriarch Yao." Xing Jue asked anxiously.
"That's because this continent lacks an object. Without that object, it's impossible to break through to the Battle-Saint realm. The ancestors of this continent who were able to break through to the Battle-Saint realm all succeeded because they found that special object."
"And the object that contains that power is the Saint Stone!" Yao Yutian spoke clearly, and when he mentioned the Saint Stone, his face was filled with yearning. It wasn't just him, but the other three as well.
These people were the pinnacle existences of the current continent. Furthermore, they were still very young and had great talent. It was only a matter of time before they broke through to the High Level Combat Emperors. At that time, what they yearned for the most was the Battle Saint realm.
Now that they knew that a divine object that could help them break through to the Battle Saint realm was about to descend, they were naturally excited. At this moment, Xing Jue finally understood why a selfish fellow like the Profound Comprehension Ghost Phoenix would stop the war for the sake of the so-called catastrophe.
It was because he didn't only want to stop the catastrophe, but more so for the so-called Saint Stone. Only by surviving could he obtain the Saint Stone.
