Han Jianqiu was rendered speechless.
He had heard of the Myriad Beasts Hall's Pavilion Leader Zheng Yang and the Seven Star Pavilion Leader Liu Yang. They were both geniuses that only appeared once every several thousand years.
Once they matured, even Sect Leader Zhang Xuan, who had comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent, would find it difficult to face them head-on.
It was true that they were no match for Zhang Xuan.
Not to mention, even he had no idea how much Zhang Xuan had promised Starchaser Palace in order to take over Du Qingyuan's position as the head of Starchaser Palace.
"How lively!"
Just as Han Jianqiu was at a loss for words, laughter echoed in the air. Two figures suddenly appeared outside the room.
The head of the Blackmirror Citadel, Bai Xuansheng!
The head of the Evanescent Immortal Sect, Gu Zhuiyun!
As soon as the two of them appeared, the atmosphere in the room immediately turned heavy.
The six great sects' Sect Leaders and former Sect Leaders were almost all present!
Bai Xuansheng had already recovered to his peak after recuperating. Even though he still looked a little weak on the surface, his fighting prowess was no longer affected.
As for Gu Zhuiyun, he was a tall and thin elder with a haughty look on his face.
"Are you here to take over the position of the head of Starchaser Palace as well?"
Han Jianqiu shook his head. "Would you believe me if I said that I still haven't figured it out yet?"
"Elder Jianqiu, you're mistaken. That's not the reason we're here. We would like to meet Sect Leader Zhang Xuan to discuss something with him!"
Bai Xuansheng shot a cold glance at Elder Kui Xiao before clasping his fist and replying.
Even though he didn't see who was behind the incident in the Sea of Little Mirror, it wouldn't take long for him to find out.
After all, given how dazzling the Diamond Silver Crystal was, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to find it.
"You want to meet our sect leader?" Han Jianqiu frowned.
"Indeed. This matter concerns the rise and fall of our Six Sects. If Sect Leader Zheng Yang and Sect Leader Liu Yang are here, we'd like to meet them as well."
Gu Zhuiyun smiled as he turned to Elder Qin Yuan and Elder Kui Xiao.
"May I know what's so important?"
The crowd glanced at one another in bewilderment.
With their eye of discernment, they could tell that the relationship between the two sect leaders was far from simple. Perhaps, they had already allied themselves with the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion and Starchaser Palace.
"As we all know, the strongest fighting prowess on the Master Teacher Continent right now is at Semi-Divinity realm. In order for a sect to remain standing for a long time, experts of that level have to exist!"
Seeing their confusion, Gu Zhuiyun said.
Everyone nodded.
A False Divinity was the key to becoming a large sect.
Without an expert of that caliber, it would be useless no matter how many High Immortals they had.
Just like marine life.
For the past several thousand years, without a Semi-Divinity realm expert to lead them, they had been like a sheet of loose sand.
Gu Zhuiyun asked, "Now that the Azure Bridge is about to open, do your new sect masters have the confidence to defeat the warriors of the Hall of Gods and obtain the qualifications to ascend to the Semi-Divinity realm?"
Everyone was speechless.
No one would dare to make such a promise!
Han Jianqiu was no exception.
As powerful as Sect Leader Zhang Xuan was, he was only a Heavenly True Immortal. Given his strength, it would be difficult for him to deal with ordinary Heavenly High Immortals, let alone the warriors of the Hall of Gods!
As long as he failed, he would lose the qualifications to ascend to the Semi-Divinity realm!
In other words, even though they thought that the new sect masters had unparalleled talent, they still couldn't bring themselves to believe that they would be able to succeed.
After all, it was simply too difficult.
Gu Zhuiyun chuckled softly. "However, both our Evanescent Immortal Sect and Blackmirror Citadel are confident that they will succeed!"
"Confident?"
Han Jianqiu and the others glanced at one another in disbelief.
Even they dared not say such words, but these two were confident?
Where did their confidence come from?
"Take a look at this!"
Gu Zhuiyun flicked his wrist and took out a jade token. He passed it over.
Han Jianqiu took the jade token with a doubtful look on his face. He took a look at it, and the confusion in his eyes deepened. "What's this?"
The jade token contained the information of a cultivator, including their proficiency in battle techniques, moves, and flaws.
"This is the information of the warrior of the Hall of Gods who fought with the geniuses of our Evanescent Immortal Sect," Gu Zhuiyun replied.
"The information of the warrior of the Hall of Gods?"
The three of them stood up in disbelief.
The reason why the warriors of the Hall of Gods were so powerful was because they were mysterious and unpredictable.
Knowing their cultivation techniques, battle techniques, and flaws in advance meant that they would be able to emerge victorious even without a fight!
"How did you manage to find it?"
Elder Qin Yuan could not help but ask after reading the contents of the jade token.
It did seem real, but he couldn't be certain whether it was real or not. Furthermore, where in the world did the other party find it?
One must know that the Hall of Gods had always been a lofty figure, making it impossible for anyone to spy on them.
"Of course we couldn't find it. The one who gave us this information is … the Ethereal Hall!" Gu Zhuiyun exclaimed in awe. "Hall Master Kong is indeed a celestial being. Even if he isn't a god, he's already close to being one. He gave us this information, and as long as we select a candidate to participate in the battle and cultivate accordingly, it won't be too difficult for us to become a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator! "
"Hall Master Kong?" Han Jianqiu frowned. "There's no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Why would Hall Master Kong risk offending the Hall of Gods and reveal the secrets of the heavens to give us this?"
It was admirable that Hall Master Kong had created the Ethereal Hall, but at the very least, there were rules to follow. On the other hand, it was perplexing for him to give them this item.
Putting aside where the information came from, there was no way the Hall of Gods would know what kind of repercussions they would face if they were to leak it.
If they were to learn of this, even if Hall Master Kong was far stronger than them, he would still be in deep trouble.
"Of course, it won't be for free. Our Evanescent Immortal Sect will lend our Guardian Artifact, the Evanescent Boots, to him for a month. The Blackmirror Citadel will also lend our Guardian Artifact, the Paragon Blackmirror, to him for a month. "
Gu Zhuiyun replied with a smile.
"Even though the Guardian Artifacts of our Six Sects haven't reached Semi-Divinity realm yet, they are harnessed from the essence and strength of countless predecessors. Once used, they will wield strength surpassing that of a Semi-Divinity artifact. Isn't it too much of a joke to lend them out like that?"
Each of the Six Sects had their own Guardian Artifacts. Starchaser Palace's Guardian Artifact was the altar, whereas the Evanescent Immortal Sect's Guardian Artifact was the Evanescent Boots. It was said that the founder of the Evanescent Immortal Sect had forged the Evanescent Boots using a meteorite from outer space. Upon putting on the boots, one would be able to traverse a distance of millions of li across the Forsaken Continent in just a single breath.
It was unfettered!
On the other hand, the Guardian Artifact of the Blackmirror Citadel was the Paragon Blackmirror. With just a light shine from it, one would be able to bind one's soul, making it impossible for one to escape.
It was not a Semi-Divinity realm artifact, but even Semi-Divinity realm cultivators would not dare to go against it. Putting everything aside, even someone of Elder Qin Yuan's strength would have to avoid it.
As for the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion's Guardian Artifact, it was a sword left behind by its founder. After being tempered by the Gods' Sword Intent, it wielded incredible might, allowing it to slay even Semi-Divinity realm cultivators easily.
The Myriad Beasts Hall's Guardian Artifact was the old ancestor of the Earth Serpent Sect, but he had long fallen into a deep slumber.
The Seven Star Pavilion was a unique artifact known as the Seven Star Chess Set. It was said to be a chess piece used by the gods in the past. It was impossible to discern its tier, but it was extremely profound.
Of course, these artifacts could only be activated and used by a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator. Otherwise, the Six Sects would have been able to secure their safety with just these artifacts.
These artifacts were the final trump cards of the Six Sects, and yet, the other party was willing to lend them out for the sake of an uncertain item. Even though the Ethereal Hall had not done anything wrong over the years, it was still a little inconceivable.
"Indeed. Do you know that once the Hall of Gods makes a move on you, you won't be able to resist at all?"
Elder Qin Yuan could not help but ask as well.
Without these artifacts, how could a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator possibly stand against the Hall of Gods?
Had it been in the past, they would have thought that the Transcendental Hall would not make a move on them, but at this very moment, they could not be so sure anymore.
"Unable to resist at all? You are thinking too much! "
Gu Zhuiyun chuckled as he waved his hand, and a suit of armor materialized around him. As soon as it appeared, it exerted a heavy pressure on those around it.
"This is … a Semi-Divinity artifact?"
Han Jianqiu and the others were astonished.
There was not a single Semi-Divinity artifact in the Six Sects, so where in the world did Gu Zhuiyun obtain it?
"That's right. It's a gift from Hall Master Kong. I'll use this artifact and the information on the warrior of the Hall of Gods as rent! "
Gu Zhuiyun nodded.
"Rent?"
Han Jianqiu and the others were astonished.
Wasn't this a little too much?
To offer the information on the warrior of the Hall of Gods just to rent the Guardian Artifact for a month … That was equivalent to giving the other party a Semi-Divinity realm expert and a Semi-Divinity artifact!
Even if the Ethereal Hall had countless experts, surely they could not afford to be so wasteful!
"If that's the case … Pavilion Master Bai also has a Semi-Divinity artifact?"
Han Jianqiu asked.
"Elder Kui Xiao should know very well whether I have one or not, right?"
Bai Xuansheng's cheeks twitched as a vicious glint flashed across his eyes.
"Me? How would I know? "
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao asked with an awkward smile.
He had been wondering where the other party had gotten a Semi-Divinity artifact from, but in the end, it turned out to be a rental from the Ethereal Hall!
Just that …
Not only did their Pavilion Master Kui Xiao rob him clean, he even took away his storage ring!
However, there was no way he could admit to this matter, or else it would only spell trouble for him.
"You should know how I know. There's no need to play the good guy here!"
Bai Xuansheng spat through gritted teeth.
When he woke up, there was nothing left of him, including the Blackback Tortoise. Without a doubt, this was the work of another group of ambushers, and there was no doubt that it had something to do with the young man before him.
"Whether I know or not can be discussed in the future. However, don't you think that it's weird for you to make such a deal?"
Knowing that it would only make things more awkward if they were to dwell on this matter, Elder Kui Xiao turned to Bai Xuansheng and asked in confusion, "Hall Master Kong, why do you want the Guardian Artifacts of your sect?"
The Ethereal Hall had been in the Ethereal Hall for several thousand years, and there was no lack of treasures that they could not obtain. Why would they pay such a huge price to obtain their Guardian Artifacts?
Why would Hall Master Kong do such a thing?
And what was he intending to do?
This was truly inconceivable!
