Jianchen declined the position of hall elder without any hesitation, which slightly stunned the hall master of the Poseidon. This was the first time in the history of the sea realm that a Saint Ruler could become a hall elder. If it were not for the fact that Jianchen had been chosen by the empress, she would not have cared so much about Jianchen.
This was because there was only one way to become a hall elder in the three divine halls, and that was to reach the peak of the 16th Star.
In the world of the sea, apart from the embodiment of strength, the Temple Elder was also a symbol of status. It represented a kind of supreme honor. Once one became a Temple Elder, they would be a prominent figure second only to the Temple Master in the territory of the Temple. It was the goal of countless Sea Race people.
"You've actually declined to become a hall elder of the Poseidon Hall." The hall master of the Poseidon Hall spoke in surprise. She originally thought that Jianchen would be deliriously overjoyed, but she never thought that not only would he not be happy at all, he would even decline to become a hall elder.
"Are you worried that the other elders of the Poseidon Hall will be dissatisfied if you become a hall elder with your current strength? If that's the case, you don't need to worry. You were personally appointed by the Emperor, so they won't be able to do anything to you, "said the hall master of the Poseidon Hall.
"Hall master, a treasure of mine has been stolen from me. Once I'm strong enough in the future, I will definitely enter the Serpent God Hall and take it back. As a result, I cannot become a hall elder of the Sea Goddess Hall," Jian Chen explained. He was afraid that the hall master would become displeased if he rejected the hall master's appointment.
"I see. Whatever." The hall master of the Poseidon Hall sat down before the throne and said, "Since that's the case, you can become a guest of the Poseidon Hall. You can enjoy the same treatment as an elder like Qing Yixuan, Lei Batian, and the others. You are not a part of the Poseidon Hall."
"Thank you for your gift, Hall Master." Jianchen cupped his hands in thanks. With the status of a guest elder, it would be much more convenient for him to move about the territory of Poseidon Palace in the future. It would save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Poseidon grasped at the air and a powerful energy immediately condensed. In the end, it condensed into a blue medallion that was half the size of a palm. He said, "Take this medallion. There's a sliver of the Emperor's presence in it. It's a symbol of your status as a guest. With it, you'll enjoy the status of an ordinary elder. You can freely move through the public areas of the divine hall."
Jianchen accepted the token. Immediately, he felt a vast energy fluctuation from the token. The energy had completely solidified, making the token countless times harder than refined iron. Jianchen immediately shivered inside. The hall master of the Poseidon Hall was truly worthy of being an expert at the level of the Holy Emperor. With a wave of his hand, he could condense a powerful energy into a medallion in a single moment. This was an extremely terrifying power.
Jianchen exhaled deeply after leaving the Poseidon Hall. Only now did he truly confirm that he was safe. He no longer had to worry about the Poseidon Hall doing anything to harm him.
"I never thought that the mysterious woman who gave me the Water Spirit Pearl back then would be the goddess of the Sea race. No wonder she had to condense a body with her soul. She's only left with her soul now." Jianchen sighed inside. He had already learned the true identity of the mysterious woman from the hall master of the Poseidon Hall.
"No wonder the mysterious woman knows about the matters of the Tian Yuan Continent. No wonder she dares to speak so arrogantly about helping me fend off the experts of the Beast God Continent. So she's one of the four supreme experts of the ancient times, Poseidon." Jianchen sighed inside when he thought back to when he first met the mysterious woman. Who would have thought that he would meet the goddess of the Sea race as soon as he entered the sea realm? The only sad thing was that he did not know Poseidon's identity back then.
Jianchen walked through the divine hall alone with the medallion. He followed the path he had taken to enter the divine hall and arrived where he had parted ways with Lei Batian and the others very soon. The five of them had not left yet. They remained where they were, waiting. However, they all looked at Jianchen strangely.
"Jianchen, have you seen the esteemed hall master? What did the hall master say to you? Will he make things difficult for us? Are we safe now? Will we be hunted down by the Poseidon Hall again? " Xie Wang asked nervously. The Poseidon Hall was their last refuge. He was afraid that he would not be able to stay in the Poseidon Hall any longer.
Jianchen smiled. He could understand Xie Wang's worries. He felt rather exhausted after fleeing for his life for the past few days.
Jianchen waved the medallion in his hand and said, "Don't worry, we're safe now."
"This is the medallion of a guest. You've actually become a guest of the Poseidon Hall." Lei Batian and the others all widened their eyes as they stared at the medallion in Jianchen's hand in disbelief. At that moment, the four of them doubted their eyes. A mere Saint Ruler had actually become a guest of the Poseidon Hall.
Suddenly, Mo Ziran's face changed drastically. His eyes immediately widened as he uncontrollably cried out, "This is the presence of an emperor. The medallion in his hand was personally issued by the hall master."
"What!" Lei Batian and the others all revealed different expressions once again. Their medallions had all been issued by hall elders, but Jianchen's medallion had been personally issued by the hall master. Did that not mean that Jianchen's status in the Poseidon Hall was much higher than the four of them?
Moreover, only the elders of the Divine Hall could enjoy the privilege of having the Temple Master personally issue the token.
"Jianchen, just what is your relationship with the hall master? Why is he so nice to you?" Lei Batian asked in a low, muffled voice. He was filled with curiosity, as well as some jealousy and envy.
"I don't know either, but the hall master definitely has his reasons for doing this," Jianchen replied vaguely. He did not explain in detail.
Qing Yixuan stared at Jianchen closely as the light in her eyes flickered. Jianchen's heart sank slightly when he sensed Qing Yixuan's gaze, but he soon stopped worrying when he remembered that he was in the Poseidon Hall. He asked, "Senior Qing Yixuan, why are you looking at me like that?"
"You were the two juniors who stole the fragmented map of the Eight Wastelands from me back then," Qing Yixuan gritted her teeth. Qing Yixuan gritted her teeth as flames of fury burned in her eyes. She hated the person who had taken away her personal belongings.
"Senior, may I ask why you say that?" Jianchen was like a dead pig that did not fear boiling water.
"Hmph, you still dare to quibble? I don't know what method you used to change your presence, but the treasure on you sold you out. Back then, you hid in the treasure that shone with golden light and suddenly approached me. You stole the fragmented map of the Eight Wastelands while I was unprepared. I've never seen or heard of a treasure that can store living people in the sea realm. Only the treasure on you has such an ability. What do you have to say now?" Qing Yixuan's face was so sunken that it was about to drip water.
Jianchen was immediately at a loss for words. He never thought that it would be the saint artifact that exposed his identity in the end. When he thought about the unique effects of the saint artifact and the extremely eye-catching golden light, Jianchen understood that it would be very difficult to get away with this.
"Senior really is wise. However, I had no choice about what happened last time. Please forgive me, senior," Jianchen said apologetically.
"It really is you." Qing Yixuan's eyes shone with shock. She coldly said, "Why don't you return it to me? Otherwise, I won't hold back even if you're a guest of hall Poseidon." Qing Yixuan was like an angry lion right now. Her clothes fluttered without any wind while her hair danced wildly.
"Little brother, after all this, you're the person who stole the fragmented map of the Eight Wastelands from Qing Yixuan. Oh my, I'm impressed. I really am impressed." Lei Batian chuckled. He was extremely happy.
Mo Ziran, Ou Yun, and Xie Wang all had strange expressions as well. They faintly smiled. They were filled with admiration for Jianchen's courage. He actually dared to steal something from one of the eight great human experts as a Saint Ruler and even succeeded. This was a rare piece of news.
Jianchen awkwardly smiled when he noticed their expressions. Afterward, he looked at Qing Yixuan apologetically and said, "Senior, I'm really sorry. I've offended you last time, so please be magnanimous. I'll return it to you right now." With that, Jianchen directly pulled out a white cloth from his Space Ring.
The white cloth was something that Jianchen had taken from Qing Yixuan. It was folded neatly and still had Qing Yixuan's unique fragrance.
Jian Chen thought that Qing Yixuan wanted the item back, so he took it out as a show of courtesy.
Qing Yixuan's face immediately reddened when she saw the item Jian Chen had taken out. The redness directly extended to the roots of her ears, becoming scorching hot.
"T-t-t-this …" Lei Batian and the others obviously noticed the white cloth in Jianchen's hand as well. With their thousands of years of experience, they obviously recognised what it was with a single glance. They were all stunned. Disbelief and disbelief filled their faces.
"Qing Yixuan, t-this isn't yours, is it?" Lei Batian pointed at the white dudou as he stared at the reddened Qing Yixuan. He stuttered.
Ou Yun, Mo Ziran, and Xie Wang's expressions became extremely strange. Their mouths were pulled into a straight line as they tried to hold back their laughter.
Qing Yixuan felt even more ashamed when she heard that. She was tempted to find a hole to hide in immediately. She originally wanted Jianchen to take out the fragment of the Eight Wastelands, but she had never thought that Jianchen would actually take it out and take it out in front of so many people.
