Everyone's gazes fell on the Radiant Sun Supreme. What was the Calligrapher's choice?
Seeing that the Azure Sky Sovereign had finally shifted the topic to him, the Radiant Sun Sovereign was already prepared for this. He slowly stood up with his dragon-headed walking stick and swept his gaze across all the experts on the stone platform.
"I'm sorry, but the academy refuses."
The Radiant Sun Supreme's voice was like a clap of thunder. Everyone, including the Azure Sky Supreme, was stunned for a moment. They knew that the Radiant Sun Supreme would refuse, but they didn't expect him to refuse so straightforwardly. This was equivalent to giving the Radiant Sun Supreme a slap in the face.
The Azure Sky Supreme clenched his fists and his face was ashen. The Radiant Sun Supreme wasn't giving him any face at all.
"Radiant Sun Supreme, I want to know the reason for your refusal. Can you tell me?" The Azure Sky Supreme's smile was a little sinister. He looked a little strange and didn't have his previous majesty.
"Are you sure you want to hear it? Fine, I'll tell you in front of everyone." The Radiant Sun Sovereign coldly looked at the Azure Sky Sovereign and said, "You've turned into a demon. Have you forgotten what the Grandmist Sovereign once said? The True Martial Continent doesn't belong to just one person. It belongs to tens of thousands of living beings. What virtue or ability do you have, Azure Sky Sovereign?
The Azure Sky Supreme's face suddenly changed. He sternly shouted, "I'm only searching for the secret of the Spiritual Bead. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Longevity."
The Radiant Sun Sovereign sneered, "Whether it's longevity or not, you know it in your heart. You just want to take advantage of the situation to force everyone out, and then recruit them into your own Daoist temple. Killing Xu Wu is just a name. Your true objective is to become the ruler of the True Martial Continent."
"Nonsense, I didn't."
The Azure Sky Supreme's face turned ashen. He denied it directly. Even if that was his plan, he couldn't admit it in front of so many people. After all, the Grandmist Sovereign who established the True Martial Continent had warned him that the True Martial Continent couldn't be dominated by a single force.
That was how the College and the Taoist temple came into being. However, he was not satisfied with the current situation of the Taoist temple. He wanted the Taoist temple to become stronger. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
"True longevity is in the human heart and nature. Don't tell me you're still stubbornly pursuing the so-called secret of the Spiritual Pearl? Don't you think it's ridiculous?" The Radiant Sun Sovereign berated without any mercy. In this world, he was probably the only one that could berate the Azure Sky Sovereign in such a manner.
"Radiant Sun Sovereign, don't slander me. Today is an auspicious day for my Daoist Temple, and I've gathered all the experts here. What are you trying to do by saying that?" The Azure Sky Sovereign suppressed the coldness in his heart as he placed a huge hat on the Radiant Sun Sovereign's head.
"All facts are fair. If you don't want to join this so-called alliance to seek immortality, you can come to my academy. You won't suffer any restrictions."
The Radiant Sun Sovereign rolled his eyes. He couldn't be bothered to continue his nonsense with the Azure Sky Sovereign. In the end, he threw out such a sentence, causing the atmosphere to become even more solemn.
The Azure Sky Sovereign clenched his fist as his gaze swept across the experts that remained neutral and those that refused to join the Taoist temple. It was as if he would devour them at any moment.
When the Radiant Sun Sovereign's voice rang out, some experts hesitated for a brief moment before standing on the side of the College. These people weren't affected by the Spiritual Pearl, but the Azure Sky Sovereign had come knocking on their door and destroyed their peaceful lives that had lasted for tens of thousands of years.
The College and the Taoist temple. They had to choose one of the two forces. Otherwise, they might even suffer the revenge of the Azure Sky Sovereign in the future. This was what they had to worry about.
At this moment, everyone who came to attend the wedding held their breaths as they watched this scene. This was likely a sign that the two overlord forces of the True Martial Continent were about to erupt. Could it be that the True Martial Continent, which had been peaceful for tens of thousands of years, was about to experience another bloody storm?
Under the pressure of the Taoist temple, even the experts that had intended to protect themselves had made their own choices. They thought that they could stay out of this matter, but in the end, they knew that they had to either join the Taoist temple or the College. There was no third choice.
Some people sighed in their hearts. Sure enough, the Grandmist Sovereign's prophecy was true. Ever since the Void Martial God had descended and the Primordial Chaos God had appeared, the world had begun to fall into chaos.
After this, the two overlord forces would definitely become enemies. It might even lead to the first chaotic war in the True Martial Continent. This wasn't a small fight between small sects, but a confrontation between two overlord forces.
At this time, the warriors on the stone platform were roughly divided into two groups. One group had joined the Taoist temple and wanted to pursue immortality. The other group had joined the Academy and were powerhouses who didn't want to be involved in the storm.
"Good, good, very good."
The Azure Sky Supreme looked at everything coldly. There was an indescribable coldness in his eyes as he said, "Brilliant Sun Supreme, you've played a good trick."
With his eyes, how could he not see that most of the experts standing behind the Academy had already communicated with each other before they came. As a result, the number of experts from the Academy and the Taoist temple was about the same.
"We're just the same. We can't just set fire to the state officials, but not allow the common people to light lamps." The Radiant Sun Sovereign said slowly, "My academy will never be shaken by anything, not even the so-called longevity or the Spiritual Pearl. Azure Sky Sovereign, what you're saying is exactly what the Primordial Sovereign said that day."
"Hmph, I've said it before. It's purely for the pursuit of immortality." Even at this moment, the Azure Sky Sovereign couldn't conceal his thoughts, even if everyone in the world knew about it.
"In that case, we have different goals. Let's bid farewell here." The Brilliant Sun Supreme coldly smiled. Since things had developed to this point, the College and the Taoist temple would definitely be like fire and water in the future.
After hearing the words spoken by the Radiant Sun Sovereign, some experts began to move. They were planning to leave. However, at this moment, the Azure Sky Sovereign stopped them.
"Wait."
The Brilliant Sun Supreme slowly turned around and looked at the Azure Sky Supreme. He indifferently said, "Do you want to shed all pretense of cordiality?"
