The negotiations regarding territory between the Tian Yuan Continent and the World of Forsaken Saints would be held once every ten days or half a month. However, since the two sides were never able to reach an agreement, the negotiations would always end on bad terms.
Flame City's reputation skyrocketed once again as the place where the future of the two worlds would be negotiated. It rapidly rose, reaching a new level of fame. Not only did everyone on the Tian Yuan Continent know about it, but even across the vast territory of the World of Forsaken Saints, there were very few people who did not know about Flame City.
The Origin realm experts of the Tian Yuan Continent had chosen Flame City as the location of the negotiations because they feared the Origin realm experts from the World of Forsaken Saints. They planned on using Flame City to intimidate the Origin realm experts from the World of Forsaken Saints so that they would not dare to take action during the negotiations. If they destroyed Flame City, they would directly offend Jianchen.
At the same time, the actions of the Origin realm experts of the Tian Yuan Continent had indirectly increased the status of Flame City. Although the current Flame City could not compare to the seven great capital cities in terms of scale, there was no organisation in this world that could match up to it in terms of prestige.
The current Flame City was as great as the Sacred Spirit Hall of the World of Forsaken Saints. It possessed an irreplaceable status in this world.
The Heavenly Enchantress was a beauty on Three Saint Island. Her beauty was even greater than that of a goddess. She sat on a large, azure rock on the mountain peak with an otherworldly presence. The simple zither of the Demonic Cry was placed before her. As her slender fingers slowly plucked the strings, she played a heavenly melody. The music seemed to have fused with nature, possessing an ethereal quality. It could not help but calm down as soon as it reached the ears.
The sound of the zither reverberated through the air above Three Saint Island, causing the fishermen who lived on the island to become mesmerized. There were even large, fat fish that had floated to the surface of the sea in the distance. They seemed to have become mesmerized by the sound of the zither.
Beside the Heavenly Enchantress sat a handsome young man. However, the young man was not affected by the zither at all. He stared at the deep blue sea in front of him, at the distant Tian Yuan Continent, and at the clear sky above him from time to time. The young man could vaguely make out a small patch of red clouds at the end of the blue sky. However, the red was not something that could be seen with the eyes of ordinary people.
After a long while, the music ended. Shangguan Mu 'er stowed the zither away and glanced at outer space with her enchanting eyes. She murmured, "The evil power has weakened slightly. Your father should be absorbing the power in seclusion, but at this rate, it'll take quite some time for him to absorb all of it."
The handsome young man looked at Shangguan Mu 'er when he heard that. He said with some worry, "Mother, the power is so evil and so powerful. Will father be in danger if he absorbs it?"
Shangguan Mu 'er sank into her thoughts. She said, "Your father's cultivation method is as special as yours. It can't be measured by common sense. Moreover, he knows when to stop. Since he's bold enough to absorb it, he must have absolute confidence."
"Then I don't have to worry," the young man immediately let out a sigh of relief. He was Shangguan Aojian.
After a moment of thought, Shangguan Aojian continued, "Mother, the Tian Yuan Continent is currently negotiating with the World of Forsaken Saints. The difference between the Origin realm experts of the Tian Yuan Continent and the World of Forsaken Saints is still very large, so they might be at a disadvantage during the negotiations. They need you right now, so why don't you go to the Tian Yuan Continent?" Shangguan Aojian also hoped that his mother could go to the Tian Yuan Continent very much because he had grown attached to the continent during his travels there. He obviously did not wish for the Tian Yuan Continent to suffer too much during the negotiations with the World of Forsaken Saints.
Moreover, the Tian Yuan Continent was his father's homeland.
Shangguan Mu 'er looked at Shangguan Aojian and a sliver of gentleness appeared in her eyes. She said, "Xiao Bao, I know you're worried about the Tian Yuan Continent, but your worries are unnecessary. Let alone the fact that the Tian Yuan Continent isn't at a disadvantage, the negotiations between the two sides won't end in a short amount of time. However, no matter what kind of agreement they reach during the negotiations, the final decision will still be made by the Spiritking and your father. If your father doesn't agree, no matter how great of an advantage the World of Forsaken Saints gains during the negotiations, it won't count in the end. Do you understand?"
"Mother, I understand. With our current strength, we don't need to fear the World of Forsaken Saints at all."
.....
Time flew like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed since the first negotiation between the two worlds. Both sides still failed to reach an agreement after ten years of negotiations. They both understood that it would be very difficult for them to reach an agreement that would satisfy both sides. In the end, they could only wait for the strongest person of the two worlds to make the decision. As a result, the two worlds only went through the motions in the following negotiations, stalling for time and waiting for the Spiritking and Jianchen to emerge from seclusion.
In the past ten years, the matter of the Tian Yuan Continent, the Wasteland Continent, the Hundred Races, and the Sea race dividing up a portion of their land spread like wildfire. It caused quite a stir. Some people did not care about this matter, but there were also some people who wanted to defend their land and defend their homeland with their lives.
Ever since the Tian Yuan Continent had been shattered in the battle against the World of Forsaken Saints, it had been split into four regions, which were the eastern, southern, western, and northern regions. The regions were separated by an extremely wide river. The river formed a cross that ran through the entire continent and connected to the sea.
The place where the four rivers intersected was the ruins of Mercenary City. It was now filled with a large amount of water, but there was an extremely special region there. A mysterious power protected the region, preventing the surrounding seawater from entering.
This special region was the tunnel that connected the Tian Yuan Continent and the World of Forsaken Saints.
At this moment, the tunnel was completely calm. After so many years, the tunnel had stabilized long ago. Although there would be powerful ripples of spatial energy in the tunnel from time to time, they would not be like when it had just formed, where large amounts of violent energy would surge out and fly into outer space.
At this moment, the stable spatial tunnel suddenly began to ripple. The ripples rapidly expanded, and in the end, it actually caused a huge reaction from the entire tunnel. The entire tunnel began to shake violently, and extremely unstable streams of violent energy wreaked havoc within.
Very soon, a figure gradually appeared in the extremely unstable flow of energy in the tunnel. The figure was very blurry at first, but as he approached, his figure gradually became clearer.
He was a middle-aged man with a head of flowing black hair. He carried a dark, metal sword on his back. His appearance was nothing special, and he seemed extremely ordinary. His clothes were very simple as well, giving off a sense of simplicity.
The middle-aged man was indifferent. Even though he seemed extremely simple, he gave off a dignified presence. He walked through the tunnel step by step, and as he advanced, the entire tunnel trembled. Violent streams of energy were constantly produced, wreaking havoc in the tunnel. However, when the streams of energy that were enough to heavily injure the Holy Emperor approached the middle-aged man, they were silently reduced to nothingness. In the end, no streams of energy remained within ten meters of the middle-aged man.
The changes in the tunnel were not purposefully caused by the middle-aged man. He was just too powerful. As he walked through the tunnel, he seemed to have reached the limit of what the tunnel could endure, which was why the tunnel had changed. Even though he had concealed his origin energy and presence, he was unable to avoid this situation.
The middle-aged man did not move quickly, but he crossed a great distance with each step. In just a short while, he emerged from the tunnel and appeared in the sky above the Tian Yuan Continent.
Suddenly, the Tian Yuan Continent began to churn. The thick layer of clouds in the sky was silently reduced to nothingness, as if it had been forcefully crushed by a terrifying pressure, disappearing from the world. At the same time, a terrifying pressure permeated the surroundings, enveloping the entire world in a single moment. It shocked everyone and made all the beasts in the surroundings prostrate themselves before it.
The expressions of all the Origin realm experts from the World of Forsaken Saints within the golden divine hall changed. Soon afterward, joy filled their faces.
"It's the Spiritking. It's the Spiritking's presence. The Spiritking has emerged!"
"Quick, let's go support the Spiritking!"
The Origin realm experts from the World of Forsaken Saints all cried out in joy. They charged out of the divine hall as quickly as they could and hurried toward the tunnel.
In the past few years, all of them had felt extremely frustrated. They had to negotiate with the Origin realm experts of the Tian Yuan Continent. They clearly did not treat the Origin realm experts with any importance and could easily wipe them out, yet they did not dare to raise their voices. As a result, the negotiations had gone on for ten whole years without any results. This was because the Tian Yuan Continent had Shangguan Mu 'er, Jianchen, who had emerged from seclusion at some point, and the Spiritking was not present. As a result, their negotiations with the Tian Yuan Continent were restricted.
Now that the Spiritking had emerged, the Origin realm experts from the World of Forsaken Saints all gained confidence. They were obviously overjoyed now that they had someone to rely on.
At the same time, the Origin realm experts of the four races opened their eyes at the same time in Flame City. They all stared in the direction of the tunnel as they became extremely stern.
Shangguan Mu 'er's eyes narrowed as well. She stared in the direction of the Tian Yuan Continent as a sliver of sternness appeared on her face.
