The moment the forbidden tablet rose into the sky, the entire Kun race was shaken.
The ten elders hurriedly joined hands to cast a spell. Vigorous and abundant magic power instantly turned into a huge shield that covered the sky and covered the ancient monument.
The Kun elders who could enter seclusion in the forbidden valley were definitely the cream of the crop. They were not far from the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
Even a Sage would find it difficult to escape from the formation set up by the 10 elders.
However, in front of this ancient monument, the giant barrier formed by the ten elders was like a piece of paper and was instantly pierced through.
The green light streaked across the sky and traveled thousands of miles in an instant, completely disappearing from everyone's sight.
Meanwhile, the entire forbidden valley was reduced to dust, and the void turbulence was everywhere.
Shen Tian was dumbfounded. He had only taken a nap in front of the forbidden tablet. How did it escape?
Don't tell me those big shots of the Kun race are taking this opportunity to scam me!?
Should I pretend to be dead while the situation is chaotic?
Rumble!
The void turbulence quickly calmed down, and a huge Kun avatar appeared in the sky. Its body shone with a sacred light.
That was the Kun race's Grand Elder. He usually cultivated in seclusion and did not participate in the race's affairs.
However, the forbidden tablet's berserk aura was just too strong, and they were all drawn out.
"Leader, why did the forbidden tablet escape? Please give us an explanation!"
"The forbidden tablet was left behind by our ancestors. Nothing has happened to it for tens of thousands of years. Now, it has escaped far away, and we do not know where it is."
"If we cannot give an explanation, we will not have the face to worship our ancestors. Leader, please find the forbidden tablet as soon as possible!"
"I heard that Leader made an exception and allowed the Divine Firmament Saint to study the forbidden tablet. That's why this happened. Where is the Saint?"
"That's right. Let the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader explain!"
...
Those Kun Sages were arguing. They were all worried about the forbidden tablet's escape.
After all, the forbidden tablet was very important to the Kun race. It was almost as important as the human race's ancestral hall.
Moreover, the valley where the forbidden tablet was located was filled with Spirit Qi and laws. It was a sacred cultivation ground, but now it had been destroyed along with the tablet.
This was definitely a huge loss for the Kun race!
No one could remain calm about such an outcome.
Rumble!
At that moment, the Kun King's figure appeared in the valley's void turbulence.
He didn't look too good, but he didn't have the intention to criticize Shen Tian. Instead, he looked at Shen Tian with concern.
The Kun King heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Tian was not injured and that his aura had become even more unfathomable. "Saint Tian, are you all right?"
Shen Tian nodded. "I'm fine."
The Kun King said, "That's good. I didn't expect the forbidden tablet to change. If anything happens to the Saint because of this, I won't be able to answer to the sacred ground."
The Kun King's words stunned Shen Tian. Speaking of which, were all the demon race leaders so easy to talk to now?
You're not even anxious about losing your ancestral tablet, and you're still thinking of giving an explanation to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?
However, one would never slap a smiling person. The Kun King was so polite to Shen Tian that Shen Tian felt a little embarrassed.
After all, although he didn't know why the forbidden tablet had flown away, he guessed that it had something to do with him comprehending the Chaotic Tinder Sutra.
This time, he really wasn't the scapegoat.
Just because the Kun King was easy to talk to didn't mean that the other Kun Saints were easy to talk to.
In fact, when Shen Tian had exchanged the Kun Peng Dao for the Triple Light Sacred Water and the three Sage weapons, some of the Kun elders had already felt uncomfortable.
From their point of view, the Kun Peng Art was the Kun Clan's supreme art. Logically speaking, it should not have been allowed to wander outside. It was only right for it to be returned to the Kun Clan.
It was one thing to exchange the Triple Light Divine Water Source and three Sage artifacts for the Kun Peng Dao, but now they were actually allowing other forces to cultivate it?
To them, this was a great injustice!
Not to mention the fact that the Kun King had allowed the Divine Firmament Saint to study the Kun race's forbidden tablet.
Now, he had lost the Forbidden Ancient Tablet!
"Leader, Divine Firmament Saint, I hope you can give us an explanation."
"Kun Xu, you have been working with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground all these years. You have almost forgotten the pride of the Kun race!"
"In the years that you have been the leader, the Kun race's power has not grown much. Now that you have even lost the forbidden tablet, I think it is time to call for an elder meeting."
"If you can't be the leader, then step down and let someone more capable take over!"
"Also, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground must compensate us for the loss of the tablet!
...
The elders in the air were discussing fervently.
Most of these elders were Heavenly Venerables, so they were rather polite to Kun Xu.
However, there were also some Grand Elders who were in the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Their seniority was much higher than the Kun King's, so they did not hold back with their words.
Some of the Grand Elders even suggested removing the Kun King from his position as leader and choosing a new leader.
The Kun King narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the figures in the air. "Everyone is very clear about the relationship between the forbidden tablet and our race. I do not need to remind you.
"When our ancestors found this tablet, they set down a rule that whoever is fated to obtain the tablet's recognition can take it away or inherit its legacy. We are not allowed to stop them.
"Now that the Divine Firmament Saint has obtained the tablet's recognition and inheritance, it is perfectly reasonable for the tablet to leave.
"As a Kun, we should have the pride of the Kun race. How can we throw all the responsibility to the Saint?
"As for my position as the leader, who thinks that I am not worthy?
"Feel free to step forward and fight This King!"
With that, Kun Xu suddenly erupted with a mighty aura. His Sage aura instantly swept out in all directions.
A giant Kun avatar that was tens of thousands of feet long appeared behind him. It stirred up waves in the boundless sea, and the waves surged up and down!
Also, Kun Xu's avatar was no longer just a Kun avatar.
The giant Kun slammed into the sea, and its scales and fins instantly turned into a pair of shining golden wings. The Kun head also turned into the head of a majestic golden Peng.
Rumble!
The waves surged for 3,000 miles and soared for 90,000 miles!
The unprecedentedly huge Kun Peng suddenly appeared in front of all the Kun elders.
Its body was surrounded by pure holy light, and its dense Sage aura swept out in all directions, bringing with it a suffocating pressure.
For a moment, all the Kun elders fell silent.
They stared fervently at Kun Xu and the Kun Peng avatar behind him.
They were all the higher-ups of the Kun race. They knew very well how powerful their leader, Kun Xu, was. He was definitely not this powerful in the past.
Now, the pressure Kun Xu exuded was at least twice as powerful as before. This was obviously the result of the complete Kun Peng Dao.
For a moment, all the criticism disappeared.
After all, although the forbidden tablet was important, no one had been able to comprehend anything from it since ancient times. It could only create the forbidden canyon to assist in cultivation.
After reaching the Sage stage, the forbidden canyon was no longer of much help. Otherwise, those Grand Elders would have stayed here.
However, the Kun Peng Dao was different. It was useful to all the Kun Sages and could increase their strength.
However, it was impossible for any faction to impart their supreme techniques to everyone.
For example, the forbidden chapters of the various sacred grounds were basically only qualified to be inherited and learned by the Sacred Leaders and Saints.
Even if the Kun Peng Dao was really passed down to the Kun race, only a portion of them could learn the complete Kun Peng Dao, not everyone.
And the selection of the candidates was quite tricky.
Who was qualified to cultivate and who was not? There was a lot of room for maneuvering.
As the current leader of the Kun race, the Kun King's words carried a lot of weight.
Not to mention that after mastering the complete Kun Peng Dao, Kun Xu's strength had increased again. There were very few in the Kun race who could suppress him.
At this time, they had to consider carefully whether they should offend Kun Xu because of the forbidden tablet.
After all, the forbidden tablet belonged to the entire Kun race, not just to them.
...
The atmosphere fell into a momentary stalemate. The Kun King secretly sent a voice transmission. "Saint, don't worry. With me around, no one can threaten you.
"The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader is now in North Sea. I have already sent a message to him. He will come to pick you up later.
He even informed Master?
Shen Tian felt a warmth in his heart. Indeed, there are true feelings everywhere.
This Kun King has only known me for a few days, but he is already so nice to me.
Sigh, this really makes me feel somewhat ashamed!
If I have the chance in the future and encounter fortuitous opportunities, I should consider Kun Ming and Kun Yu! After all, these two are also high-grade Leu... prodigies.
A Sage aura enveloped the sky.
Within a radius of several hundred miles, all the living beings felt their hearts sink.
The atmosphere was very tense. If it was not handled well, the entire Kun race could fall into chaos.
Finally, a Grand Elder spoke in a much gentler tone. "No matter what, the forbidden tablet is our race's treasure. Leader, you have broken the rules by opening it for the Divine Firmament Saint without the Elders Council's permission."
The Kun King took a deep breath. "Elders, the Divine Firmament Saint has agreed to sign a Kun contract with Yu 'er. He will be our race's human partner.
"According to the race's rules, as long as our human partners are willing, they have the right to study the forbidden tablet.
The Divine Firmament Saint has agreed to be the Kun race's human partner?
The Kun King's words made those elders fall silent. Vague but frequent divine consciousness communication appeared in the sky.
They were weighing the pros and cons. The upper echelons of the top races were not fools. The forbidden tablet's escape was already a foregone conclusion.
There was no point in arguing over who was to blame. The key was how to recoup their losses.
They had occasionally heard rumors about the Divine Firmament Saint. It was said that he was the Son of Providence that only appeared once in 10,000 years. Even the Dragon race wanted to curry favor with him.
If he was really willing to be the Kun race's human partner, it would be a great thing for the entire Kun race.
A stern voice rang out in the sky. "Divine Firmament Saint, are you really willing to sign a Kun contract with our Eldest Princess, Kun Yu, and become our human partner?"
Shen Tian was slightly taken aback. He looked at the blushing Kun Yu beside Kun Xu.
To be honest, he had never thought about this.
After all, Shen Tian had already signed contracts with the Black Dragon race's Ao Bing and the Peacock race's Kong Meng. He felt a little guilty signing another contract behind their backs.
However, the Kun King had withstood so much pressure to support him. It would be too unkind of me to backstab him.
Moreover, he had obtained the Chaotic Tinder Sutra from the Kun race. It was only right for him to take care of him in the future.
After a moment of silence, Shen Tian nodded. "I am willing."
...
He agreed!
He finally agreed!
Kun Yu's face blushed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Kun Xu also revealed a gratified expression.
Only Kun Ming had a strange expression. He felt that there was probably no chance of him getting back at Shen Tian in the future.
The pressure from the Kun Sages in the sky gradually dissipated, and the originally tense atmosphere also started to ease up.
"Since the Saint is already our race's human partner, comprehending the forbidden tablet is indeed not against our ancestral teachings. It is in line with the rules.
"The forbidden tablet is mysterious to begin with, and countless people have suffered because of it. It might not be a bad thing for it to suddenly escape now. The Divine Firmament Saint is indeed not to be blamed.
"Speaking of which, we have not properly thanked the Divine Firmament Saint for finding the Kun Peng Dao for our race. It is really too rude of us."
"The Divine Firmament Saint's looks are peerless. One look and you can tell that he is a Kun Phoenix among men. He will definitely become a Thearch in the future. His potential is limitless!"
Shen Tian was somewhat dazed as he listened to the compliments in the sky.
What's going on? Why are they praising me now?
Is it so easy to change the direction of public opinion?
I just lost your race's forbidden tablet. Don't you care at all?
At that moment, the void suddenly cracked open, and a mighty Sage aura that was even more terrifying than before instantly swept across a radius of 1,000 miles.
Mighty, surging, multi-colored lightning spread in the seawater, surrounding the huge flying vessel that was tens of thousands of feet long. The flying vessel was filled with disciples dressed in Divine Firmament robes.
Meanwhile, on the second level of the flying vessel stood many Divine Firmament elders. Each of them exuded the powerful aura of a Heavenly Venerable.
"Which blind little Kun brat wants to deal with Tian 'er? Come over and ask if the staff in my hand agrees! "
Azure Lotus stood proudly on the third level of the flying vessel, wearing a purple divine robe and holding a golden staff.
He transformed into a giant that was thousands of feet tall, and the golden staff in his hand also instantly became thousands of feet long. His muscles swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He was clearly just a Soul Conduit Heavenly Venerable, but the aura he exuded made many Kun Sages' hair stand on end.
After all, he was once an "Extreme Dao Heavenly Venerable".
Even though his divine body had been crippled, he still possessed a great deterrent force. Azure Lotus had become a Heavenly Venerable through Godfiend Body Tempering, so his strength might not be weaker than when he was still a Qi Refinement cultivator.
More importantly, after that setback, this fellow had even become shameless. His personality was becoming more and more like his junior brother's.
Even Sages did not dare to offend such a Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus.
...
Apart from Azure Lotus, there were two other people standing on the third level of the flying vessel.
One of them was Elder Golden Lotus, who had already broken through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage and had stabilized her cultivation level. Her silver robe fluttered in the wind, and she was even more alluring than before.
Her eyes were filled with charm. "Don't be afraid, Tian 'er. With Aunt-Master around, no one can make things difficult for you."
The third person was completely enveloped in lightning and heavenly aura. At that moment, he just stood proudly in the void, looking down at the many Kun elders.
He was releasing his aura to his heart's content. It was as if he had turned into a Heavenly Tribulation. With the lightning and heavenly aura as the center, the golden Mixed Divine Lightning instantly spread tens of thousands of feet.
Even the Kun race's Grand Elders could not help but shudder in fear when facing this lightning. This fellow is even more powerful than before!
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura rippled gently as he looked at the Kun King coldly. "Brother Kun, how have you been?"
Upon sensing the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's aura, the Kun King was very glad that he had not listened to his foolish son and attacked Shen Tian.
Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.
He smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang, you have come all the way here. Please forgive me for not going out to welcome you. May I know why Brother Zhang has come today... "
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled gently. "I heard that Brother Kun has invited Tian 'er as a guest. I am worried that Tian' er does not know the Kun race's rules and will make the Kun race's elders unhappy, so I specially came to bring him back.
"If Tian 'er has offended you in any way during this period, you can look for me to settle it."
With that, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked coldly at the void, and the Sage aura he exuded became even stronger. "May I know if you have anything to say to me?"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's voice was emotionless, but it made the Kun race's Grand Elders feel a chill in their hearts. At the same time, they secretly felt lucky.
Luckily, they had listened to their leader and allowed Shen Tian to become the Kun race's human partner, thus resolving the conflict.
Otherwise, given the current situation, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and the Kun race would probably fight it out for the sake of face.
At that time, not many Kun Sages would be willing to face a powerful opponent like the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. After all, they might end up being electrocuted.
Silence. None of the Kun race Sages dared to speak.
Finally, the Kun King smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you have misunderstood. The Saint is very polite and has not caused any trouble.
"On the contrary, the Saint and my daughter, Kun Yu, are very close. They have already agreed to sign the Kun God contract. I wonder if Brother Zhang is willing to let your disciple become our human partner?"
...
The Kun race's human partner?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled as he stared coldly at the Kun King.
A divine consciousness transmission that only the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and the Kun King could hear rang out in the Kun King's mind.
"I will teach you how to make those disobedient Kun elders play the good cop and you play the bad cop. Stabilize the situation first, then I will come out to save the day.
"This way, we can both increase the Son of Providence's favorability.
"Why have you already settled the matter when I just arrived? How am I supposed to continue increasing Tian 'er's favorability? Brother Kun, could it be that you want to fight it out with me again? "
As he spoke, the lightning and heavenly aura rippled even more intensely.
The Kun King's mouth twitched as if he had recalled some unbearable past.
He coughed lightly and said, "Brother Zhang, you have misunderstood. It was because the elders' reactions were too intense, and I had no choice!
"But don't worry, Brother Zhang. I have already specially emphasized to the Saint that once you heard that something had happened to him, you will immediately bring everyone here and fight to the death.
"You've pulled up the favorable impression points to the brim. Even This King himself is moved. There's no way this is fake!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said calmly, "Then what's the matter with the Kun race's human partner? Why didn't you discuss this with me beforehand? "
The Kun King's eyes revealed a guilty look. What a joke! How could I discuss this matter with you beforehand?
Who doesn't know that you have always wanted to shove your daughter into Shen Tian's arms?
I have indeed given you some face, but when it comes to my daughter's happiness, do you think I will be polite?
The Divine Firmament Saint and Yu 'er's contract is set on me. If you are unhappy, then we can just fight it out again.
It's just seven days and seven nights!
It's nothing compared to Yu 'er's happiness in the future!
The Kun King's eyes gradually became resolute. "Ahem, I forgot. Brother Zhang, I am really sorry!"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader stared coldly at the Kun King for a long time before speaking.
"That's another price!"
