Seeing how Donglin Qiushui no longer dared to argue with him, Gongsun Zhi became even more arrogant. He felt like he was looking down on everyone present.
Afterwards, Gongsun Zhi looked at the entrance of the miniature world. He looked at the Radiant Saint Masters gathered there who wanted to enter the miniature world but were afraid to enter. He said coldly, "I want to know everything about Jianchen and his current situation in the outside world. If any of you can provide me with the most accurate and complete information, I can allow you to enter the miniature world. If I'm satisfied, I can even give you special treatment in the future."
Gongsun Zhi's words caused a disturbance among the Radiant Saint Masters gathered outside. The light in the eyes of many of them flickered, and some of them immediately left to investigate for Gongsun Zhi.
Gongsun Zhi's current status was completely different from before. Many Radiant Saint Masters, including the Divine King of Radiance, wanted to establish ties with him. As a result, there were many people who were willing to work for Gongsun Zhi.
At this moment, nine sword-shaped mountains stood silently in an extremely well-hidden space within the Tower of Radiance.
It was unknown how long these nine mountains had existed, but they were filled with an ancient aura, filled with the aura of time.
At the peak of each of the nine mountains, there was a snow-white divine sword.
A total of nine swords shone with dazzling light. They were like miniature suns as they stood at the top of the mountains.
The space around each divine sword was distorted. This was a scene caused by an extremely powerful force, and this force came from the nine divine swords.
A destructive power was sealed within the nine swords. It was powerful and terrifying.
The middle-aged man condensed from the Artifact Spirit appeared silently at the centre of the nine mountains. He glanced past the swords on the nine mountains and murmured, "The master of the Tower of Radiance had nine extraordinarily powerful retainers in the past. They fought with him through outer space and achieved great merit. After the master of the Tower of Radiance died, his nine retainers did not live on by themselves. Instead, they used their innate secret techniques to condense their vital energies and condense their bodies and powers into nine swords. They were sealed here by the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance, becoming protector swords. They fought for the next master of the Tower of Radiance! "
"As long as you possess the nine swords, it's equivalent to possessing the power of the nine retainers. You'll immediately possess the power to fend off the nine peak experts …"
"I learnt from the memories of the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance that the nine retainers formed the nine protector swords with their own bodies after the master of the Tower of Radiance passed away. Afterwards, the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance placed them here. As a result, the method to control the nine protector swords is in the hands of the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance … "
The Artifact Spirit stared at the nine protector swords and frowned, "Although I know about the existence of the nine protector swords, I don't know how to use them. It looks like I need to fuse with even more memories of the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance to learn more about how to use the nine protector swords in greater detail."
"However, if I do that, the influence of the remnant consciousness of the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance will become greater and greater. It might even succeed in turning me into a second Artifact Spirit. I'm no longer myself …"
The Artifact Spirit hesitated. Clearly, it understood that fusing with the memories of the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance would be very risky.
But very soon, the Artifact Spirit shone with determination. It gritted its teeth and said, "Master has spent so much effort to get me to stay in the Tower of Radiance and become the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance, but master is in great danger outside now, and I can't do anything …"
"Once the nine protector swords have accepted a master, I might be able to help master. For master, I can't care so much right now …"
The Artifact Spirit's figure suddenly disappeared.
…
"What did you say? The Martial Soul lineage is actually the imperial clan among us Radiant Saint Masters? " As one of the eight vice-leaders, Xuan Zhan stared at Yu Chen in disbelief within the sacred hall that stood above the clouds.
Yu Chen nodded. He was rather absent-minded. He said, "That is indeed the news I received from the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance."
Xuan Zhan stared at Yu Chen closely. After confirming that Yu Chen was not joking, he sucked in a deep breath and said, "I really never thought that the Martial Soul lineage that has always been at odds with us would actually … actually … sigh. What do you plan on doing next? Do you want to announce this news or keep it a secret? "
Yu Chen shook his head and said sternly, "Only the two of us know about this right now. Don't tell anyone else for now. Let's not even talk about other people being unable to accept the fact that the Martial Soul lineage is the imperial clan. Even I am unable to accept their identity. After all, the grievances between our Radiant Saint Hall and the Martial Soul lineage have run deep over all these years. It's basically unresolvable. If we announce this, it'll probably lead to an uproar. "
Xuan Zhan sighed gently. "This news is just too shocking. It really is best if we don't let too many people know about it." After pausing for a moment, Xuan Zhan stared at Yu Chen and continued, "Then what about Jianchen's cultivation method?
What do you plan on doing? "
Yu Chen stood with his hands behind his back. He stared at the endless sea of clouds outside the sacred hall deeply, "After Jianchen learnt that he possesses the bloodline of a Grand Exalt, his personality began to change drastically. He cares about this matter even more than me. He's determined to obtain the Method of the Exalted Saint. If Jianchen survives in three years, there will definitely be a battle between him and Gongsun Zhi."
"One of them is from the Martial Soul lineage, the imperial clan of Radiant Saint Masters. The other one possesses the bloodline of the master of the Tower of Radiance. It's extremely likely that he'll inherit the Tower of Radiance and become the second master of the Tower of Radiance. Their battle should be extremely interesting … "
At the same time, in another part of the sacred hall, the white-robed Bai Yu knelt there as she trembled gently. Her head was buried deep into the ground as tears constantly rolled out from her eyes. They shattered to pieces on the ground with endless sorrow and sorrow.
Opposite Bai Yu was a middle-aged woman who was also wearing a white robe. She was sitting cross-legged with an expressionless face.
The middle-aged woman was an elder of the Radiant Saint Hall, Mu Shui.
"Master …" Bai Yu knelt before Mu Shui and sorrowfully called out.
"Bai Yu, you can go. Return to your Soaring Clouds Peak. From today onwards, you are no longer my disciple," Mu Shui said firmly. She looked at Bai Yu with a hint of sigh and continued, "Don't blame me for being vicious and heartless. If you want to blame someone, blame your second senior brother on the Soaring Clouds Peak. Your second senior brother, Chang Yang, is actually Jianchen of the Martial Soul lineage in disguise. You're so close to Jianchen, so even if you don't know your second senior brother's true identity, I still won't accept you as my disciple."
"From today onwards, we are no longer master and disciple. We are no longer connected. You can leave," Mu Shui said coldly.
Bai Yu's heart trembled when she heard Mu Shui's emotionless voice. She didn't say anything and kowtowed to Mu Shui nine times. She wiped her tears and got up from the ground, leaving the sacred hall in a daze.
"Master, Bai Yu didn't know anything before. She's innocent, so why are you so heartless?" After Bai Yu's departure, Donglin Yanxue walked in from outside. She looked at Mu Shui who sat there with her legs crossed furiously.
Mu Shui's expression became extremely mixed as she looked at Donglin Yan Xue. She was filled with undisguised disappointment. She sighed deeply and said, "Yan Xue, you've always been extremely clever, but why have you become so foolish this time? You know the Martial Soul lineage is our mortal enemy, yet you still helped Jianchen escape. You've made a huge mistake."
"I know what I'm doing. Master, are you going to do the same as junior Bai Yu and sever all ties with me?" Donglin Yanxue said. She showed no regret at all.
Mu Shui's attitude towards Donglin Yan Xue was completely different from how she treated Bai Yu. She sighed gently, "Yan Xue, what you need to consider right now isn't something as simple as severing your relationship with me or not. Instead, you need to consider how to face the upcoming punishment. Do you understand that your situation is much more severe than Bai Yu's?"
