Silence!
Majestic figures appeared beside the lake, and each of them had an unfathomable aura.
It was obvious that they were all Sages. After sensing the appearance of the Dao Imparting Tablet, they had rushed over as fast as possible.
Originally, the appearance of a supreme treasure like the Dao Imparting Tablet would definitely cause a fight among the Sages. Even if the Sages had agreed beforehand, they would find an excuse to break the agreement.
After all, a gentleman's agreement was only effective when the temptation was not great enough.
Once the temptation was too great, even a gentleman would become a hypocrite.
It's not that I'm not a gentleman. It's just that this fortuitous opportunity is too tempting!
However, at that moment, all the Sages looked at the Dao Imparting Tablet and the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader standing proudly in front of it. No one dared to take another step forward.
The Fire Sage's corpse was still bleeding after being cut in half. That was a powerful being who was half a step into the True Sage stage.
Although his character and bearing were not good, his strength was definitely not just for show.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader could kill the Fire Sage with one sword. No one knew how powerful he was.
Also, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's current performance was obviously to establish his successor's prestige and intimidate all the powerful beings in the five regions and eight wilderness.
Only then would Shen Tian be able to grow smoothly and not be targeted by enemies with ulterior motives. He might even die before he could reach the top.
At such a time, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's killing intent was definitely the strongest. Whoever dared to not give him face would be a great enemy!
The situation was not clear yet, so no one would risk their lives to offend the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
After all, even if they really stood out, they would only make the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader hostile and might not be able to obtain the tablet.
"If the Nine Sun Sacred Ground has any objections, let them hold it in. I will look for them in the future."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura surged, and endless lightning swept across tens of thousands of feet, covering the sky like a Buddha.
At that moment, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's aura alone was enough to intimidate everyone.
He looked coldly in Shen Tian's direction. "Tian 'er, come over!"
Shen Tian and the others then leisurely rushed back to the lake. There was not even a speck of dust on them.
...
Shen Tian, in particular, had a confident smile on his face.
Even when the Flame Saint shot towards him, Shen Tian did not show any fear, as if it was not a Saint, but a mere floating cloud.
Putting everything else aside, just this kind of bearing and courage was enough to make him the best among the younger generation.
After all, the sacred might was like the collapse of the heavens, and the pressure on young people was incomparably terrifying.
To be able to withstand the pressure of a Saint at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Stage, and not even have a change of expression, was already commendable.
The Divine Firmament Saint, Shen Tian, really lived up to his reputation!
Shen Tian appeared in front of the Saint Sovereign and bowed slowly. "Thank you, Master, for saving me."
The Sacred Leader's immortal aura rippled gently. He patted Shen Tian's shoulder and said, "You and I are of one mind. What is yours is yours."
With that, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked at the other Sages by the lake. "Before entering Immortal Abode Island, we made it clear that in order to avoid a chaotic battle among the Sages, the fortuitous opportunity belongs to whoever finds it first. Other forces are not allowed to snatch it, or else all the Sages will kill them.
"Previously, when our sect traded with the Black Snake race, it was also at the same price. We did not take it by force.
"The Flame Saint is a half-step True Sage, but he attacked our Saint to snatch the fortuitous opportunity. He deserves to die. Does anyone have any objections?"
With that, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked at the other Sages, and his aura became even more profound.
In that instant, a surging pressure that only Sages could feel filled the entire lake.
He is actually so powerful!
A gentle voice came from a blue Sacred Light by the lake. "The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader followed the rules when trading with our race. The Black Snake race supports the Sacred Leader's actions."
This Sage was called the Hidden Whirlpool Sage from the Black Snake race. She was Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming's mother and doted on her the most.
As for the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's action of personally kidnapping Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus to the Black Snake race, the Hidden Whirlpool Sage was very pleased.
In addition, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had given a high enough price to make the Black Snake race very satisfied. Now, the Black Snake race and the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground were in a honeymoon period.
The Hidden Whirlpool Sage had chosen to support the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader!
With a Sage taking the lead, the other Sages also put aside their so-called pride.
"The Hidden Whirlpool Sage is right. We made it clear first. The Flame Saint did not follow the rules, so he deserved to die."
"Even if the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader did not take action, he would have been burned to ashes by the Golden Crow Divine Fire sooner or later. The Sacred Leader took action and ended his pain earlier."
"The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader repaid evil with kindness. It's really admirable. You are a great man!"
...
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's heavenly aura rippled. "Justice is in the hearts of people. Thank you, everyone, for speaking up for justice.
"This Seat is not an unreasonable person. Although this monument was discovered by Tian 'er, the path of cultivation is about sharing and communication, and mutual assistance."
"My sect is willing to open this tablet to everyone. You can comprehend the imperial sutra together. How much you can comprehend will depend on your own ability."
Sharing the Imperial Tablet's inheritance?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's words directly shocked all the Sages.
This was an imperial sutra, and it was one of the most powerful imperial sutras.
Even if it lacked the most important forbidden chapter, its value was also immeasurable.
Such an important supreme inheritance was so easily shared with everyone. What kind of magnanimity was this?
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was indeed a legendary Sacred Leader!
"However, the Heavenly Dao is balanced. There is no free lunch in this world.
"In order to summon the Dao Imparting Tablet, Tian 'er paid a great price. I hope everyone can show some appreciation."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's tone suddenly changed. His voice was indifferent as if he was talking about something that could not be more normal.
Following that, there was a series of secret conversations.
Only the two sides of the conversation knew. As for the others, they had nothing.
Even when the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader asked for some benefits, only existences at the Sage stage and above could clearly hear it.
Of course, Shen Tian was an exception.
...
Time passed by, and the expressions of the Sages by the lake were completely different under the sacred light.
Some of the Saints were ecstatic, some of them were relieved, some of them were twitching in pain, and some of them looked like they had eaten a dead rat.
However, these Sages were clearly more reasonable than the Fire Sage. No one directly fell out with the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
In the end, the terrifying Sage aura in the air slowly retracted, and the tense atmosphere disappeared.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader turned to look at Shen Tian and sent a voice transmission. "I have already negotiated the price with them for you. You and the sacred ground will split it 50-50. You will not suffer a loss. How about it?"
Shen Tian smiled. "It's all up to Master."
Thank you, Master, for helping me grow leeks. Skr ~
After negotiating the price, the Sages started to sit cross-legged around the tablet, faintly clustered around it, and began to study it.
Meanwhile, the descendants of those Sages were protected by those Sages in the Holy Ground.
This was because when Sages were comprehending, they might unconsciously release powerful Sage aura, and at the same time, the tablet might also react.
Without the protection of the Sages, it was very easy for Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators to encounter danger.
"Tian 'er, will you follow behind me, or will you comprehend the Dao with us?"
At that moment, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's words stunned all the Sages.
What kind of question is this?
Does the Divine Firmament Saint have the right to comprehend the Dao with the Sages?
Can he resist the Sage aura with his strength?
