"Help from the Hall of Gods?"
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
"In order to become a god, one needs the acknowledgement of the gods. This is also the reason why the Six Sects are so eager to enter the Hall of Gods to snatch the 'God' character. Even if it's just half a character, it's still enough to push one to the Semi-Divinity realm! "
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao explained.
Zhang Xuan nodded in realization.
It was no wonder the Six Sects were so eager to snatch the 'God' character. He had thought that it was just to make it sound good, but from the looks of it now, it was to make them stronger.
At the same time, he also understood why the sect leader of the Myriad Beasts Hall, the elders of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, and the Seven Star Pavilion had come so easily.
Most likely, they were placing their hopes on him to snatch the 'God' character. If he succeeded, even those who were unable to reach Heavenly High Immortal would be able to achieve a breakthrough, and their lifespan and cultivation would be raised significantly.
If he failed, the other party would not be able to do it either.
"The Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion only managed to obtain half a character, so they were unable to name it as a sect.
"Can half a character help one achieve a breakthrough to the High Immortal realm?"
"Yes, but it's much more difficult than just a single character. Of the entire Forsaken Continent, only the Ethereal Hall has managed to obtain an entire character. That's why even the Six Sects dare not oppose it! "
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao said.
Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
The Six Sects each had their own territories, and the other sects were unable to interfere in their affairs. However, the Ethereal Hall was a force to be reckoned with throughout the Forsaken Continent.
"It's impossible to achieve a breakthrough without a character, but based on my observations, your cultivation has already reached the Semi-Divinity realm."
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
He had met three of the heads of the Six Sects, and they were all Semi-Divinity realm experts.
If they were unable to achieve a breakthrough without a character, how did they manage to reach their current realm?
"That's why we're looking for you," Pavilion Master Kui Xiao said with a smile.
"You're looking for me?"
"Every hundred years, an Azure Bridge will appear in the Hall of Gods. The cultivators of the Forsaken Continent will be able to enter the Hall of Gods through this bridge, and from there, they will have a chance to snatch the 'God' character. If one wins a match, they will be able to absorb the Aura of Divinity and achieve a breakthrough to the Semi-Divinity realm.
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao said.
Zhang Xuan nodded. "If you win the battle, you'll have a chance to absorb the Aura of Divinity and achieve a breakthrough. What about the loser?"
"The losers … will basically die on the spot!"
"Death?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback. "It can't be that all of the heads of the Six Sects have won at least once, right?"
Hall Master Qin Yuan was a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator, Han Jianqiu was a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator, and the young man before him was also a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator. Even if he had never met the other three sects before, it was likely that their cultivation was not low either. Could it be that they had defeated him before?
He had fought with the warriors of the Temple of God before and knew how terrifying they were.
Even Han Jianqiu and Sect Leader Kui would not be a match for one of them. Even if it was Han Jianqiu or Sect Leader Kui, they would not have been able to defeat all six of them.
"The Sect Leaders of the Six Great Sects have all won a match, but … they're not the same batch of challengers! Take Du Qingyuan from Starchaser Palace for example. She became a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator a thousand years ago, and the Starchaser Palace has tried to make many attempts to break through to the Semi-Divinity realm, but all of them ended in failure.
"A thousand years ago?"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment. "Do Semi-Divinities really live for that long?"
Just like Pseudo Immortals, the lifespan of a High Immortal was three hundred years. Yet, Du Qingyuan had become a Semi-Divinity a thousand years ago. Did that not mean that she had lived for more than a thousand years?
That would be ten thousand years on the Master Teacher Continent!
That was truly frightening.
"Most Semi-Divinities have a lifespan of five hundred years, so they can't live for that long. However, due to the unique constitution of the Starchaser Palace, they are able to live even longer than that. Even so, they are already nearing the end of their lifespans. Most likely, they won't be able to live for more than a few more years.
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao shook his head. "That's why they're hoping that the Azure Bridge will give birth to a new god. Otherwise, the history of the Six Sects will be rewritten."
Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless.
It was no wonder Hall Master Qin Yuan was so decisive in appointing him as the sect leader.
At the end of his lifespan, he could only place his hopes on Zhang Xuan, a genius, and hope that he could become a Semi-Divinity through the Azure Bridge.
After all, without a Semi-Divinity, it was only a matter of time before the other sects snatched away their territories and geniuses. Eventually, even if the other sects did not make a move against them, they would eventually become a second-tier power and disappear from the annals of history.
"Pavilion Master Kui, you said that the Azure Bridge will be sparring with the other sects without any danger. What does that mean?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
Previously, Pavilion Master Kui Xiao had said that he would be participating in the sparring with the other sects and not the Azure Bridge.
"Weren't you wondering why there are Semi-Divinity realm experts among the Six Sects?" Pavilion Master Kui Xiao explained. "The ones guarding the Azure Bridge are the five warriors of the Hall of Gods. If you can emerge victorious in the sparring and become the respected leader of the other sects, you'll be given a chance to enter the Hall of Gods and allow the other five warriors to deal with the warriors. In other words, you'll be able to win a battle and become a Semi-Divinity."
"Enter the Hall of Gods? A bye? Then … "Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in shock." What about the other five? "
"Most of them will die!" Pavilion Master Kui Xiao said. "As such, if the difference in strength between the juniors of the Six Sects isn't too great, there's no need for them to compete with one another. In other words, it'll be the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion this year, the Myriad Beasts Hall the next, and the Seven Star Pavilion the year after that. It's precisely because there's a chance that we'll work together to deal with the Hall of Gods.
"Of course, if there's a huge disparity in strength, the order will be disrupted. Take Hall Master Kong and the founder of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion for example. They were so much stronger than the others that they were able to clear the Azure Bridge and enter the Hall of Gods even without the position of a leader. Under such circumstances, the chances of one becoming a Semi-Divinity will be much higher. Even if it's impossible for all six of them to succeed, at the very least, two or three of them will be able to become Semi-Divinities! "
Zhang Xuan nodded.
The other sects were so excited to see him that they immediately bestowed him the position of an elder and provided him with all kinds of resources. Clearly, they were hoping that he would be able to become a Semi-Divinity in their stead.
To ensure the stability of the sect for a hundred years.
This feeling reminded him of a book that he had read in his previous life regarding the selection of sect leaders to the Isle of Heroes.
As long as there was someone who was willing to drink the Laba Congee, they would be able to become the sect leader. Regardless of one's character or loyalty …
After explaining everything that needed to be said, Pavilion Master Kui Xiao looked at Zhang Xuan expectantly and said, "Elder Liu, you must give it your all. We'll also support you with all of our strength so that you can achieve a breakthrough to Heavenly High Immortal realm as soon as possible!"
Given the same cultivation realm as Zhang Xuan, the First Elder, and the others, Zhang Xuan did not feel the slightest fatigue at all. Instead, he was confident that he would be able to defeat the other sects in a single move.
Once he became a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator, he might even be able to snatch half a character for the sect. With that, he would be able to leave his name in the annals of history.
"Don't worry!"
Zhang Xuan replied with a nod.
If not for Zhang Xuan's selfless contribution, he would not have been able to achieve a breakthrough to Heavenly High Immortal realm.
This debt was more than enough for him to give it his all.
The aerial immortal beast accelerated at full speed, and in less than half a day, a massive ocean came into sight.
"We have arrived at the Sea of Exiled Stars!"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao said as he got to his feet.
Zhang Xuan exclaimed as he walked up to the window.
A vast expanse of azure water appeared before his eyes. Looking from afar, it seemed as if the water had fused together with the sky. They were currently flying between space and the ocean, and the ripples of sunlight reflected off the surface of the water. All kinds of fishes and birds were flying together, creating a beautiful sight to behold.
"This is the Sea of Exiled Stars?"
Zhang Xuan exclaimed in astonishment.
It was such a beautiful sight, yet none of the experts on the Master Teacher Continent were willing to come here.
"Indeed. If you were to sail on the surface of the ocean at night, you would realize that the stars in the sky are falling from the sky. If you travel fast enough, you will be able to catch up with the stars at any moment. It's for this reason that it's called the Sea of Exiled Stars," Pavilion Master Kui Xiao said.
"However, the more beautiful a place is, the more dangerous it is. The aerial immortal beast that we are on bears the emblem of the Seven Star Pavilion, and there are so many Heavenly High Immortal-tier beasts pulling us along. If we were any ordinary cultivators, we would have already encountered countless dangers as soon as we entered the Sea of Exiled Stars. If we don't survive, who would care about the beautiful scenery?"
"This …"
Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless.
The ocean was fraught with danger. He had learned of this back when he was on the Master Teacher Continent.
The surface of the ocean might seem tranquil, but there were innumerable powerful beasts and immortal beasts lurking beneath it. It was indeed extremely dangerous to enter their territory recklessly.
"Where is Starchaser Palace?"
Zhang Xuan asked. The aerial immortal beast was flying further and further into the depths of the ocean.
"There's a massive island in the middle of the ocean known as Starchaser Island. Starchaser Palace and the aboriginals of the Forsaken Continent live there," Pavilion Master Kui Xiao explained.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
The immortal beasts continued flying. Less than a thousand li into the ocean, Zhang Xuan saw quite a few Heavenly High Immortal realm beasts wandering in the ocean. They were staring at the flying carriage in the sky, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.
If not for Pavilion Master Kui Xiao releasing his Semi-Divinity realm aura from time to time to intimidate the aerial immortal beast, the aerial immortal beast would have already charged at them.
It was no wonder no one dared to approach the area. Just the aerial immortal beasts alone were more than enough to deter most cultivators.
Half a day later, a massive island came into sight.
It had a diameter of several thousand li, and there was a massive city on it. It was hard to tell how many people lived in it.
From afar, there was a unique energy emanating from the island, forming a unique magnetic field that made one feel as if they were not to be disturbed.
"This aura feels a little familiar …"
Upon taking a look, Zhang Xuan was stunned.
He had seen this magnetic field somewhere before, and it felt extremely familiar.
Activating his Eye of Insight, he focused his attention.
Hong long!
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes, and his body tensed up.
"This is … the aura of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe?"
