The world was silent, the mountains and rivers were open, and the dark clouds rolled in. In the sky, the people of the three sects were clearly separated. The three sects' leaders forgot about each other, and an extremely oppressive atmosphere grew between the heaven and earth.
"Darknorth, stop your pointless struggle. Hand over what I want. It's your best choice." Tongming Sect Master said coldly with his hands behind his back.
"I said that we don't have that item." Darknorth Sect Master said coldly.
"What a joke. You know whether that item is in your hands or not. Since you want to keep it even if it means the destruction of Darknorth Sect, we will naturally accompany you." Tongming Sect Master sneered.
"Darknorth, hand over that item. Otherwise, it won't benefit our three sects if we fight to the end."
The Fairy Sect Master was a beautiful woman. She wore a white immortal robe and had a peerless appearance. However, her face was as cold as a thousand-year-old mountain. No one could get close to her.
"Hahaha."
Facing the threats of the two sects, Darknorth Sect Master laughed maniacally. "Not to mention that item isn't in my hands. Even if it is, our Darknorth Sect isn't a pushover. How can we let you do whatever you want?"
"Hmph, stubborn resistance!"
Tongming Sect Master sneered and ignored Darknorth Sect Master. Instead, he looked at the Gate of Heaven in front of him.
"This Sect Master Ye is so arrogant."
The Fairy Sect Master frowned and also looked at the Gate of Heaven. They were here to pay their respects to Sect Master Ye, who was also the master of the Northern Region Celestial Court.
However, the three sects had been waiting here for a long time, but Ye Xuan didn't summon them. This made them extremely dissatisfied.
"If it wasn't for the conflict between the three sects, the Northern Region Celestial Court wouldn't have taken advantage of the chaos. Now that you're here to ask for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help. If you have the ability, you can leave now." Darknorth Sect Master sneered.
After a hundred thousand years of war, the three sects had lost all their resources. Several of their elders had died, and countless of their disciples had died.
Moreover, the three sects were fighting against each other, and none of them could do anything to the other. They didn't dare to use their full strength, for fear that they would only benefit others.
If the two sects fought to the death, the other sect would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Therefore, no matter how intense the battle was, the three sects would leave some leeway. That was why the battle between the three sects had been in a stalemate for so many years.
At this moment, the three sect masters had personally come to visit Ye Xuan in order to break this stalemate. As long as they could obtain Ye Xuan's support, they would have a great chance of winning.
"My Sect Master invites Sect Master Tong Ming in."
Fatso Huang floated over and cupped his hands towards Tongming. This caused Tongming's eyes to light up and a hint of approval appeared on his face.
"Hahaha, Sect Master Ye and I are close friends. Today, we will drink wine and discuss the Dao. We won't leave until we're drunk."
Tongming laughed wildly. He was deliberately provoking the two sect masters. Then, he strode into the Northern Region Celestial Court. This indeed caused the Northern Region Sect Master and the Fairy Sect Master's expressions to turn extremely gloomy.
However, they had come here to ask for help, so they naturally couldn't show any dissatisfaction. They could only wait patiently outside the mountain gate. In fact, they already hated Ye Xuan in their hearts.
The three great overlords of the Northern Region, who could shake the entire Northern Region with a stomp of their feet, had been reduced to waiting outside. This difference made the two sect masters feel extremely sullen.
…
On the Snow Bamboo Peak.
There was a stone table, four stone stools, and a pot of sake. Other than that, there was nothing else!
Ye Xuan sat on the table with a peaceful expression. From time to time, he would take a sip of the drink in his cup.
"Fellow Daoist, we haven't seen each other for many years. Fellow Daoist's temperament has become even more otherworldly.
I'm truly inferior to you. "Tongming laughed loudly as he walked towards Ye Xuan. Behind him was a woman with a black veil covering her face. She was wearing the same robes as him. Although her cultivation wasn't obvious, the fact that she was walking side by side with Tongming proved that her status in the Sect Master was definitely not low.
"Fellow Daoist Tongming, please take a seat."
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. However, he didn't get up to greet them and remained seated. This caused Tongming to frown unconsciously. However, the frown quickly disappeared and the smile on his face became even wider. It was as if Ye Xuan was really a good friend who hadn't seen each other for many years.
"Come, come, come. Let me introduce you. This is my junior sister and the Sage of our Tongming Sect. She has already opened the third Gate of Heaven and is definitely not inferior to me."
Tongming enthusiastically introduced the woman behind him to Ye Xuan. The woman with a black veil walked forward and clasped her hands together as she bowed towards Ye Xuan. "I've heard that Sect Master Ye's cultivation is heaven-shaking and you've even founded a great sect. Today, I see that you truly live up to your reputation."
"Fellow Daoist, you must be joking. I'm merely a Dao Integration Stage cultivator. How can I receive such praise?" Ye Xuan smiled.
"Sect Master Ye is too modest. With Sect Master Ye's cultivation, even if I open the third Gate of Heaven, I might not be your match. Senior Apprentice Brother Tongming also holds you in high regard, so this is just a small gift. I hope Sect Master Ye will accept it."
Tongming Saintess' expression couldn't be seen clearly due to the black veil covering her face. However, her words were filled with flattery. She even placed a brocade box on the stone table.
"Fellow Daoists are too polite." Ye Xuan smiled faintly. He had no intention of opening the brocade box. It was as if he wasn't interested in the gift inside.
"Ye Daoyou, aren't you going to take a look at the gift inside the brocade box?" Seeing that Ye Xuan had no intention of opening the brocade box, Tongming Sect's eyes flickered.
"Oh?"
Ye Xuan pretended to be surprised. "It seems like the gift inside the brocade box is extremely precious. I'll have to take a look at it then."
As Ye Xuan spoke, he gently opened the brocade box. Instantly, a ray of light shot out from the brocade box. Auspicious sounds could be heard as the light covered the sky. Just the fragrance from the light was enough to make one feel refreshed. The blood and qi in one's body started to circulate rapidly.
"The Profound Nine Divine Pill is a powerful pill. If a Dao Integration Stage cultivator were to consume it, their cultivation would increase by one. If a Dao Integration Stage cultivator were to consume this pill, their cultivation would increase greatly. They would even have a twenty percent chance of undergoing the Immortal Divine Tribulation. My Tongming Sect only has two of these pills. One was consumed by my Junior Sister, and the other is given to Fellow Daoist." Tongming Sect's Sect Master introduced enthusiastically. He was constantly observing the changes on Ye Xuan's face.
Tongming Sect's Sect Master believed that Ye Xuan wouldn't be able to reject his gift. One had to know that the Profound Nine Divine Pill was extremely precious. It was one of the most precious treasures of Tongming Sect. Moreover, it had unimaginable benefits for Dao Integration Stage cultivators. To Ye Xuan, this gift was extremely precious.
Unfortunately, Tongming Sect's Sect Master was going to be disappointed. The smile on his face gradually disappeared. This was because Ye Xuan had gently closed the brocade box. His expression was calm as if he didn't care about the Profound Nine Divine Pill at all.
"Many thanks for Fellow Daoist's generosity."
Ye Xuan smiled faintly at Tongming Sect's Sect Master. Then, he waved his hand and said, "Come, accept the gift."
