With the medallion in hand, Lei Batian brought Jian Chen and Xie Wang to the divine hall that hovered in the air. They directly entered it.
The shrine was huge, with thousands of palaces, pavilions, terraces, and pagodas everywhere. Exotic flowers and rare herbs were planted everywhere, emitting a faint fragrance that filled the entire shrine. Just a whiff of it would make people feel relaxed and happy. Their minds would become clear in an instant, and it had the effect of stabilizing their Qi.
Jianchen and Xie Wang moved through the various palaces with Lei Batian, Qing Yixuan, Ou Yun, and Mo Ziran. They made their way to the depths of the divine hall. Along the way, they could see groups of uniformed guards patrolling the divine hall. At the same time, Jianchen could sense the existence of many experts in the surrounding palaces. Saint Rulers were everywhere, and there were even quite a few Holy Emperor level experts. All of them were cultivating in their own palaces.
Jianchen constantly stared at the floor as he stepped on the blue marble. He glanced at the surrounding buildings from time to time as deep shock filled his eyes.
With the powerful senses of his soul, he could clearly sense an extremely terrifying energy hidden within the entire divine hall, whether it was the structures in the surroundings or the floor beneath his feet. The powerful energy constantly tempered every single brick and tile. After many years of accumulation, the structures in the divine hall had become extraordinarily tough. Even if Jian Chen used his full strength, he would not be able to leave behind a single mark on them.
At this moment, an old man covered in wrinkles walked over. Lei Batian and the others hurriedly clasped their hands and bowed when they saw the old man. They said, "Greetings, hall elder."
The old man glanced past Jianchen and Xie Wang before looking at Lei Batian and asking, "Are these the two people the hall master brought back safely?"
"Correct. They're the people the hall master is looking for," replied Lei Batian. He glanced at Jianchen and Xie Wang from time to time. He was extremely curious as to why the hall master valued these two Saint Rulers so much.
The old man stared at Jianchen and Xie Wang in interest. He said, "Which one of you is Jianchen?"
"Esteemed hall elder, I am Jian Chen," said Jian Chen. Jian Chen took a step forward and clasped his hands at the old man. He was extremely polite. If the old man was on the Tian Yuan Continent, he would be an extremely terrifying existence. Even with the Tian Yuan Continent in perspective, he would be a supreme expert that could be counted on one hand.
The old man studied Jianchen with glowing eyes as he thought to himself, "Aren't you just a king who hasn't matured yet? Why is the hall master taking such good care of you? Not only did he send Lei Batian and the other 16th Star experts to the Heaven's Spirit Hall to save you, but even Atlantis, who hasn't left the divine hall for a very long time, has personally come to the border for you. I really don't understand why the hall master is spending so much effort on the two of you."
"Jianchen, come with me. The Hall Master wants to see you personally." The old man said to Jianchen indifferently before turning around and leaving. With his great status, he could not be bothered to waste his breath on two puny Saint Rulers.
"Jianchen, go with the hall elder. Remember, the hall master is an expert at the level of the Holy Emperor. You must show some respect when you see him," Lei Batian said to Jianchen through a communication technique.
Jian Chen nodded slightly, then silently followed behind the Divine Hall Elder, leaving behind the Evil King, Lei Batian, and the others to stare at his departing figure.
Jianchen followed the hall elder to the depths of the divine hall without any obstructions. Afterward, he entered a splendidly decorated hall. Two Saint Ruler guards stood at the entrance like statues.
"They're actually using a Saint Ruler as a guard. The Sea Goddess Hall sure is generous," said Ye Futian. Jian Chen was secretly surprised. An expert like that would be a peak expert who could dominate an entire region in the outside world.
Jianchen followed the hall elder into the hall. The large hall was empty. Aside from a slender woman sitting on a throne at the very front, there was no one else.
The hall elder respectfully bowed to the woman on the throne and said, "Hall Master, Jianchen has been brought here."
"Elder Hong, you can leave." The woman's voice was extremely gentle and pleasant.
"Yes!" The hall elder slowly retreated.
"Is this the hall master of Poseidon, one of the three Holy Emperor realm experts of the sea realm?" Jian Chen studied the woman on the throne curiously. The woman's azure clothes tightly wrapped around her figure. Her blue hair flowed down like a waterfall. It was not adorned at all, casually draping over her shoulders. Her appearance was a blur, where it was impossible to see clearly. Her true appearance seemed to be shrouded by a layer of mist.
Even though he was facing a Holy Emperor realm expert, Jianchen did not sense any aura from the hall master of Poseidon. He gave off an amiable feeling.
"Junior Jianchen greets the esteemed hall master." Jianchen quickly calmed down and clasped his hands towards the woman on the throne.
"Boom!" A muffled sound rang out from behind. The door of the hall had already closed, cutting off all auras and sights from the outside. At this moment, only Jianchen and the hall master of Poseidon were present in the large hall.
The hall master of Poseidon stood up from the throne and slowly walked towards Jianchen with light steps. Immediately, a faint fragrance entered Jianchen's nose, intoxicating him.
Facing a Holy Emperor realm expert at such a close distance, Jianchen found it very difficult to remain calm. His heart began to beat violently, clearly nervous.
"You are the person chosen by his majesty." The hall master of Poseidon spoke in a soft voice, as if she was speaking to Jianchen, but also as if she was muttering to herself.
"I actually can't sense the presence of the Abyssal Crystal from your Space Ring. Where did you put the Abyssal Crystal?" Before Jianchen could reply, the hall master continued.
"Abyssal Crystal?" Jianchen was stunned, but he soon understood. He asked, "Is the Abyssal Crystal that the hall master speaks of the key that gives off the blue light?"
"Correct." The hall master of Poseidon circled around Jianchen as she constantly studied Jianchen. However, she wondered inside, "Is this the person chosen by his majesty? Does he really have the ability to enter there? "
"This junior is puzzled. I wonder what the Abyssal Crystal is. May I ask if the hall master can answer my questions?" Jianchen asked. The mysterious key had actually attracted the attention of the Heaven's Spirit Hall and the Serpent God Hall, which filled him with great curiosity about its origins and uses.
"His majesty's time is almost up, so he locked himself up in the supreme divine hall before moving it to the depths of the Sea of Despair. No one can find it. This key is the guide to finding the supreme divine hall. As long as you obtain this key, you will be able to find the supreme divine hall," the hall master of Poseidon did not hide anything and told Jianchen the truth.
"I see. No wonder the Serpent God Hall and the Heaven's Spirit Hall have both come for this item. So they want to enter the supreme divine hall and obtain the sea goddess' legacy," Jianchen murmured to himself as he came to a realisation.
"Wrong. They have not entered the supreme divine hall to obtain his majesty's legacy. Although his majesty's time is almost up, he has only lost his body. His soul has not been destroyed, so it has always remained in the supreme divine hall. The Heaven's Spirit Hall and the Serpent God Hall only want to enter the supreme divine hall and obtain his majesty's soul. They want to devour his majesty's soul and reach his majesty's level of cultivation in the past, "the hall master of Poseidon's words were shocking, shocking Jianchen.
"What? The two divine halls want to devour Poseidon's soul?" Jianchen exclaimed. Disbelief filled his face. Poseidon was the sea goddess, an expert revered by everyone. Her subjects would actually do something like this.
"Sigh, his majesty has already disappeared for far too long. With the passage of time, the deterrence he left behind can no longer affect the experts of the sea realm. In the past few years, every single hall master of the Serpent God Hall and the Heaven's Spirit Hall has tried their best to find the supreme divine hall so that they can devour his majesty's soul and reach a higher level of cultivation."
"However, the Abyssal Crystal can only be found in the depths of the Sea of Despair. That place is boundless, so it's very easy to get lost. It's extremely dangerous as well. Even emperors would face life-threatening danger if they set foot in there. As a result, the supreme divine hall has been drifting in the Sea of Despair for countless years without anyone finding it. However, the Abyssal Crystal on you has shattered the peace of the sea realm."
Jianchen fell silent for a while as he slowly digested the information in his head. The information he had heard from the hall master of Poseidon had completely shattered Jianchen's understanding of the situation in the sea realm.
In the past, he had learned from Tian Jian that Poseidon was still alive. Back then, he believed that Poseidon still retained his peak strength and was the greatest expert in the world, an existence that surpassed the Holy Emperor. However, the final outcome was completely unexpected. Although Poseidon was still alive, he had lost his physical body. Only his soul remained, and he could only hide in the supreme divine hall, afraid to come out. He faced the threat of having his soul devoured by the hall masters of the Serpent God Hall and the Heaven's Spirit Hall at any time.
Jianchen sucked in a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. He stared at the hall master of Poseidon in interest and said, "Hall master, do you want me to give the Abyssal Crystal to you?"
The hall master of Poseidon paused. She turned around and stared at Jianchen. Although Jianchen could not see her appearance, he could clearly sense a sharp gaze fixed on him. It actually caused his eyes to ache slightly, as if he had been stabbed by a needle.
"Jianchen, although the Serpent God Hall and the Heaven's Spirit Hall have ill intentions towards his majesty, my hall master of Poseidon is absolutely loyal to him. For the sake of his majesty's safety, you must hand over the Abyssal Crystal on you. I will personally safeguard it for the time being," said the hall master of Poseidon.
Jianchen hesitated for a while. He knew that he had no other choice, so he just took out the mysterious key and handed it to the hall master of Poseidon.
"Jianchen, you may not be a part of my sea race, but you are someone chosen by his majesty. His majesty has even bestowed upon you an imperial neidan to conceal your presence. In the future, stay in Poseidon and focus on cultivating. Increase your strength as quickly as possible. I will bestow upon you a divine hall elder medallion. In the future, you will enjoy the same treatment as the other divine hall elders in my hall," said the hall master of Poseidon.
"Your majesty, if I become a divine hall elder, does that mean I won't be able to set foot in the territories of the Serpent God Hall and the Heaven's Spirit Hall?" Jianchen asked.
"That's right! Our three territories have an agreement. Without their permission, no one from the divine hall can set foot in their territories. "
"If that's the case, I don't want the divine hall elder medallion." Jianchen firmly declined the position of divine hall elder. Compared to the Golden Threaded Armor, the empty title of divine hall elder was not worth mentioning.
He would take back the Golden Threaded Armor that the divine generals of the Serpent God Hall had taken away one day.
