It was not that Sage Kui did not believe him, but it was simply impossible for him to do so.
Back then, even Kong Shi had been trapped by this Sovereign Monarch Vicious, unable to escape. From this, one could see just how powerful this Sovereign Monarch Vicious was. Given that Sage Kui was only a Grand Dominion realm pinnacle cultivator, it was impossible for him to do so!
"You don't believe me?"
Seeing Sage Kui's expression, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly. "Follow me."
After saying those words, his consciousness returned to his physical body, and he entered the Myriad Anthive Nest. He took out the token and grabbed it.
Hong long!
A massive head appeared within the Myriad Anthive Nest. It floated silently in the air, emanating a frightening aura.
"Master!"
Vicious' voice sounded.
"T-this …"
Sage Kui's consciousness nearly collapsed on the spot.
He had once suppressed Vicious, so he knew the latter's will and structure. Even though the massive head before him had been forged using a celestial designer secret art, there was no doubt that it belonged to Vicious in terms of will and vitality.
To think that the ancient Sovereign Monarch Vicious, who had trapped Kong Shi for three months, would actually acknowledge this fellow as his master like a pet …
"I have already tamed his heart, phalanges, and head, and I'm currently searching for the rest of his body. Since you have sealed his sternum, do you have any way of unsealing it? I'll take it in as well … "
Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
If he could learn the method to extract the sternum from the other party, he would be spared from causing trouble.
In the depths of his heart, he did not like causing trouble at all. All he wanted was to cultivate quietly and maintain a low profile.
"This … This is impossible!" Sage Kui seemed to have yet to recover from his shock. His consciousness flickered unsteadily, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
"He's right before you. Since you recognize him, you should know that I'm not lying. What's so impossible about it?"
Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly. Even a powerful expert like him was showing such an attitude.
To think that he was Kong Shi's grandstudent … How ignorant!
Vicious might have been a formidable figure when he was alive, but after his death, he was dismembered into many pieces, so he was not too strong. Thus, it was not a big deal for Sage Kui to tame him.
Some time later, Sage Kui finally recovered from his shock. With a bitter smile, he said, "Since you are able to tame him, I don't mind handing the sternum over to you.
"Please enlighten me!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly clasped his fist.
"I used a spatial secret art to seal the sternum, and it has already fused with the sternum. If I want to break the seal, I'll have to destroy it …"
In the midst of his explanation, Sage Kui's will suddenly jolted, and before he could even finish his words, he abruptly vanished on the spot once more.
The shock he received was too great. It had already exceeded the limit of what he could bear, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
"You …"
Zhang Xuan was going crazy.
What in the world was going on with the wills of the Ancient Sages?
Were all of them so unreliable?
Kong Shi had vanished halfway through his speech, and Ancient Sage Qiu Wu had vanished halfway through his speech … This fellow had also vanished halfway through his speech …
Was there any meaning in playing like this?
"Forget it …"
Feeling stifled, Zhang Xuan knew that once that fellow disappeared, there was nothing he could do about it. Thus, he rubbed his glabella in distress before turning his gaze back to the Sanctum Head Token.
After breaking a seal, the Palace Master Token shone even more brightly. Ripples flowed across its surface, displaying its immense might.
"That is … a Saint pinnacle artifact?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up as he gently stroked it with his fingers.
He had no idea what tier the Palace Master Token was, but it was definitely much more powerful than the Lingxu Sword in his hand.
If the two were to clash, the latter would surely snap on the spot … Without a doubt, the Palace Master Token was an artifact that surpassed even Saint high-tier artifacts.
However, it was hard to tell whether it was due to the seal or some other reason, but despite its high tier, the Palace Master Token did not possess any spirit at all. Its toughness and sharpness made it nigh impossible to withstand.
Even so, it was still a fearsome weapon.
If a Saint pinnacle artifact were to be fully utilized, even Saint 8-dan experts would have to avoid its might. If used appropriately, even the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast would be slain with ease!
As expected of an artifact that represented the sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages, it was indeed extraordinary.
"I wonder what kind of changes will occur once the second seal is undone …"
Just the first seal was already such a pleasant surprise. Just how powerful would the second seal be?
While Zhang Xuan was conversing with Sage Kui, the deputy sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages was studying the Palace Master Token carefully. At the same time, the deputy sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages was glowing brightly, and a series of urgent chimes echoed nonstop.
"What's going on?"
Zhan shi, Elder Ge, and the others rushed into the Palace Master Token.
The Palace Master Token represented the authority of the Sanctum of Sages, so there was no one who would dare cause trouble here. Just what in the world was going on for such a change to occur?
"It's the statues of the previous sanctum heads!"
One of the elders shouted.
The crowd quickly turned their gazes over, and they saw the statues of the previous sanctum heads trembling nonstop. The intense chimes were coming from them.
"The trembling of the statues means that … their wills have been shaken. What in the world could have caused them to react in such a manner?"
Elder Ge widened his mouth in disbelief.
Every single sanctum head of the Sanctum of Sages possessed incredible cultivation, and their eye of discernment and knowledge had reached the very pinnacle of the Master Teacher Continent. How could they possibly react in such a manner?
This was simply too inconceivable!
"It seems like … the Sanctum Head Token has appeared!"
Zhan shi's face paled as he lowered his voice to a whisper.
"The Sanctum Head Token has appeared? Are you saying that … a true sanctum head is about to appear in the Sanctum of Sages? "
The elders turned their gazes over.
The Sanctum Head Token was something that only the sanctum head could wield. Since it had appeared, it could only mean that the true sanctum head was about to appear.
"Indeed … Sage Kui has probably chosen the true sanctum head, and he even managed to decipher the seal on the token. Otherwise, there's no way he could have caused such a huge commotion! "
Zhan shi nodded.
"In order to become the sanctum head, one has to possess the Eye of Insight. Who in the world is it?"
The crowd's faces reddened in agitation.
Every time a true sanctum head appeared in the Sanctum of Sages, the overall strength of the Sanctum of Sages would advance by leaps and bounds. If a true sanctum head were to appear at this juncture, it would surely be of great help to them!
"Before the sanctum head fully activates the Sanctum Head Token, he won't reveal his identity!"
Zhan shi said with a grim look on his face.
It was a rule that the sanctum head had to conceal his identity before he officially took over the sanctum. This was also a means of protection. Even though the sanctum heads had already acknowledged it, the other party had not revealed his identity yet, so they were not too sure.
"Check if there's anyone who has just achieved a breakthrough to Saint 8-dan or 8-star master teacher!"
A moment later, Zhan shi issued a command.
As the deputy sanctum head, he knew a thing or two about the conditions required to decipher the Sanctum Head Token.
"Alright!"
An elder backed out of the room, and not too long later, he returned with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Reporting to Zhan shi, Yang shi's student, Feng Ziyi … has cleared the Tower of Master Teachers!"
