"I- it's my … m- master's … descendant …" A stammering voice rang out from the Tower of Radiance. It was extremely feeble.
Gongsun Zhi was overjoyed when he heard that. He became extremely excited. How many years had it been? How many years had it been? He had basically waited for the Tower of Radiance's Artifact Spirit to awaken every single day. He had failed to summon it time and time again, and he had returned in disappointment time and time again.
He had never thought that he would finally see the Tower of Radiance's Artifact Spirit awaken today. His efforts over the years had finally paid off. Gongsun Zhi was so excited that his entire body trembled.
"Fantastic, fantastic. Sir Artifact Spirit, you've finally appeared. You've finally appeared," Gongsun Zhi danced around in joy, "Sir Artifact Spirit, how are you right now?"
"Master's … descendant, I've been invaded by enemies … I've consumed a lot of energy … I'm … very weak right now …" The Artifact Spirit's voice rang out.
"Sir Artifact Spirit, can you still give me the right to choose the three remaining protector swords so that I can choose the people to wield them?" Gongsun Zhi only seemed to show some concern for the Artifact Spirit. He did not care too much about the invasion the Artifact Spirit mentioned. All he could think about right now was obtaining the right to choose the three remaining protector swords as soon as possible.
After stating his request, Gongsun Zhi waited eagerly for the Artifact Spirit's reply. He became extremely nervous.
"Master's … descendant … I'm … very weak right now. I don't have enough power … to use the last three … protector swords …"
Gongsun Zhi was greatly disappointed, but he still asked hopefully, "Then how can I help you recover your strength as soon as possible?"
"Time …"
Immediately, Gongsun Zhi deflated like a balloon. The Tower of Radiance was a supreme god artifact. If a god artifact of that level needed time to recover, who knew how long it would take. He could not afford to wait that long.
"Lord Artifact Spirit, although I now possess the number one ranked Godslayer Sword and have the blood of my ancestor flowing in my body, the other five wielders of the Sacred Swords do not listen to my orders at all. Even my identity as the Palace Master is only an empty title. As a result, I hope sir Artifact Spirit can help me. " Gongsun Zhi seemed to have made up his mind. He bowed deeply towards the sky and gathered up his courage, "May I ask sir Artifact Spirit to accept me as your master. Only if I can truly wield the Tower of Radiance will I be able to consolidate my status in the Radiant Saint Hall."
"Moreover, I'm probably the ancestor's legacy in the current world, so I should inherit the ancestor's Artifact Spirit. in terms, I should inherit everything ancestor's all. Since the Tower of Radiance was forged by my ancestor, it makes sense for me to inherit it. " As he said that, Gongsun Zhi suddenly straightened his back. He became emotional as well. He said proudly, "In the current Saints' World, no one else has the right to inherit the Tower of Radiance apart from me."
With that, Gongsun Zhi stood at the top of the mountain with his head held high. He waited nervously and uneasily for the Artifact Spirit's reply. He was also filled with anticipation. He could not help but imagine how the Radiant Saint Hall would respond to his call after he obtained the Tower of Radiance. He would be in high spirits.
He had always had two goals in order to awaken the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance. The first was to obtain the right to choose the final three protector swords so that he could establish his own organisation.
The second was to wield the Tower of Radiance and become its master.
This time, the Artifact Spirit fell silent for a while before replying in a broken voice, "You're not … a member of the imperial family … You can't inherit … the Tower of Radiance. Only … the imperial family … can inherit the Tower of Radiance. Only … the imperial family … can unleash … the true … power … of the Tower of Radiance. "
Gongsun Zhi's body trembled violently. The artifact spirit's words were like a sharp blade that stabbed deeply into his heart, shattering all his dreams on the spot.
Gongsun Zhi's face changed drastically. His face immediately twisted and became extremely vicious. He said hysterically, "No, I'm a member of the imperial family. I, Gongsun Zhi, am the only member of the imperial family in the world. I'm the only person with the right to inherit the Tower of Radiance …"
"Artifact Spirit, tell me. I possess the ancestral bloodline. That's the bloodline of a Grand Exalt. Why am I not a member of the imperial family? Why am I not a member of the imperial family? Apart from me, who else dares to call themselves a member of the imperial family? Who else has the right to be a member of the imperial family … "
"The imperial family is … born from the world. You're not … a member of the imperial family, so you don't have the right … to inherit the Tower of Radiance. However … since you're master's descendant, I … can help you … get the nine protectors … to obey you … It's a pity that I don't have enough power right now, or … I should take back the five protector swords … "
"Master's … descendant, go summon the other five protectors …"
Hearing this, Gongsun Zhi, who was on the verge of breaking down, finally found some comfort. Although he could not obtain the Tower of Radiance, controlling all the protectors was not a bad outcome.
Gongsun Zhi immediately left the Tower of Radiance after sorting out his emotions. Very soon, he entered the Tower of Radiance with Bai Yu, Han Xin, Donglin, Yan Xue, Xuan Zhan, and Xuan Ming.
At this moment, all the wielders of the six protector swords had gathered in the Tower of Radiance.
It was also at this moment that the Artifact Spirit's voice rang out in the surroundings, "The third protector sword, the Sword of Wildlands … the fourth protector sword, the Sword of Cliffs … the fifth protector sword, the Sword of Heda … the eighth protector sword, the Sword of Wave Cutter … the ninth protector sword, the Sword of Enlightenment … something has happened with all of them. They shouldn't be in the hands of the five of you. Since the five of you possess protector swords, you must obey the will of the first protector sword, Godslayer's sword. Otherwise, I can only … take back your protector swords. "
Aside from Gongsun Zhi's complacency, the expressions of the five other people changed when they heard that. All of their current strength, identity, and status came from the protector swords. Once they lost their protector swords, they would immediately fall from the lofty clouds to the abyss of hell.
.....
After leaving the Tower of Radiance, Gongsun Zhi, Bai Yu, Han Xin, Donglin Yan Xue, Xuan Zhan, and Xuan Ming gathered in the discussion hall.
Gongsun Zhi was in high spirits. His face was filled with arrogance as he sat on the throne with great enjoyment. He looked at the five protectors below him with an ambiguous smile and said, "You must have heard what the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance has said. If you still want to possess a protector sword and continue to be a protector of our Radiant Saint Hall, you must obey my arrangements. Otherwise, I will get sir Artifact Spirit to take back your protector swords."
"Now, I need you all to make your stance clear. Clarify your stance!" Gongsun Zhi looked at the five protectors deeply. He felt extremely at ease. His gloominess and displeasure from failing to gain the recognition of the Tower of Radiance had completely vanished.
Han Xin, Bai Yu, and Donglin Yan Xue's expressions became extremely ugly. They were extremely sunken. Xuan Ming looked at his father, Xuan Zhan. Clearly, Xuan Zhan was the leader.
Xuan Zhan glanced past Bai Yu, Han Xin, and Donglin Yan Xue before saying indifferently, "Since sir Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance has spoken, the five of us will naturally follow sir Artifact Spirit's orders."
Donglin Yan Xue and Bai Yu immediately became furious when they heard that Xuan Zhan had actually made a decision on their behalf. However, just when the two of them were about to say something, Xuan Zhan's voice rang out in their heads secretly.
"Keep Gongsun Zhi calm for now. The Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance does indeed possess the ability to take back protector swords. I don't mind. Even without a protector sword, I still possess a place for myself in the Radiant Saint Hall. However, once you lose your protector swords, Gongsun Zhi will never spare you with his personality. Once that happens, it won't just be you. Perhaps even your clans will be affected. "
"The matter at hand is to protect the protector swords. If I've guessed correctly, Gongsun Zhi will go find Jianchen for revenge as soon as he gains power and take back the Grand Exalt's cultivation method. If you really want to protect Jianchen, you need to protect your protector swords first because only with protector swords can you interfere … "
Bai Yu and Donglin Yan Xue immediately fell silent when they heard that. Afterwards, they expressed that they would follow the orders of the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance unwillingly.
"Hahahaha, good, good, very good. Our Radiant Saint Hall has never been so united ever since our protector swords appeared. I order you to search for Jianchen's whereabouts immediately. The Method of the Exalted Saint has been lost for so many years, so it's time for it to return. "
