The Panwang Hall was located on a cliff between the sixth and seventh levels.
The almighty who created the Panwang Hall had chiseled this cliff and built the Panwang Hall. From the Panwang Hall, one could see the scenery at the foot of the mountain.
The Panwang Hall was the strongest among the three major forces. The Black Lotus and the Nine-storied Pagoda were on par, while the Panwang Hall was at the top.
The Panwang Hall was also the place with the most people in the Heavenly Academy. The cultivators of the Heavenly Academy who came up from the foot of the mountain would usually choose to join the Panwang Hall.
Therefore, the alchemists and blacksmiths of the Panwang Hall far surpassed the Nine-storied Pagoda and the Black Lotus.
Because of this, the strength of the Panwang Hall had always suppressed the Black Lotus and the Nine-storied Pagoda.
However, although most of the cultivators of the Panwang Hall came from the major forces of the Heavenly Academy and the Imperial Dragon City, the Panwang Hall did not follow the orders of the Heavenly Academy.
In terms of benefits, they were similar to the cultivators of the Nine-storied Pagoda. They would not listen to the orders of the forces at the foot of the mountain.
However, with the fall of the Human Sovereign, the situation at the foot of the mountain had changed greatly. The Panwang Hall had its own plans at this juncture when the Human Sovereign Road was about to open.
"Now that the Hall Master is dead, if the five Hall Masters don't go down the mountain now, I'm afraid you will miss the opportunity when the Human Sovereign Road opens."
An old man in Daoist robes stood in the main hall of the Panwang Hall.
In front of him were the five Hall Masters of the Panwang Hall and the eighteen Supreme Elders, who were spread out on both sides.
"I came here on the orders of the Hall Master to unite the three major forces to kill Ye Tianze. But I didn't expect that Ye Tianze would fall on the mountain top. This is also his good fortune."
Seeing that the Temple Master and the Supreme Elder were silent, the old man continued, "However, the Nine-floored Pagoda dared to kill the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Dao Academy, which is equivalent to becoming an enemy of the Heavenly Dao Academy. Now that the Heavenly Dao Academy is in charge of the Human Race and has opened the path to the Human Sovereign, the Heavenly Dao Academy's power is indispensable. If we don't take down the Nine-floored Pagoda now, when will we?"
"That's easy for you to say. The nine-floored pagoda has a high quality divine artifact suppressing it. Furthermore, the nine-floored pagoda has always been mysterious. It won't be that easy to obtain it."
A Palace Master said.
"That's right. We've already sent people to harass them. The Black Lotus has also agreed to your request and sent people to besiege them. When the cultivators of the Nine Story Pagoda run out of resources and their hearts change, they will naturally come to surrender. Gongsun Hong and the remaining two Tower Masters will definitely not be able to hold back."
Another Hall Master said. "At that time, wouldn't the Heavenly Academy be at their mercy?"
"That's true, but …" The old man in the Daoist robe said, "I still feel that it's not safe. According to the news I've received, there seems to be some unforeseen changes in the ninth floor."
"Enough!"
The leader of the Palace Masters said impatiently, "The matter of the nine-floored pagoda ends here. Don't be too greedy, Heavenly Academy!"
The old man in the Daoist robe opened his mouth, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Then, what about the people below the mountain?"
The old man in the Daoist robe said, "Now that Ye Tianze is dead, the forces below the mountain are still there. These people are stubborn. Why don't the Panwang Hall send cultivators down the mountain and take them down? In the future, the benefits below the mountain will naturally be divided among all of you."
"You should know that the current situation can be very different. The army has already opened up the mountain path and taken over the territory below the mountain. For the Panwang Hall, it's only beneficial and not harmful."
The old man in the Daoist robe continued.
After hearing this, the five Palace Masters whispered to each other and discussed. The Grand Elders on both sides also agreed with this idea.
In the past, there was the Human Emperor suppressing them, so they didn't dare to act rashly. However, it was different now. The Human Emperor was gone.
The power of the Panwang Hall would only grow stronger and stronger.
After discussing for a long time, the five Palace Masters came to a decision. One of the Palace Masters said, "This matter can be discussed, but we need to take thirty percent. Moreover, the Heavenly Academy is not allowed to stop the cultivators below the mountain from going up. The cultivators with the best talent can only be given to the Heavenly Academy!"
The old man in the Daoist robe was in a difficult position. However, since they could ask the people of the Panwang Hall to take action, the people below the mountain would naturally be a lot more relaxed.
Although the Tiannan State was in the hands of the people who threatened the Shi City, the Panwang Hall had double insurance.
Moreover, now that the Human Emperor was gone, the Heavenly Academy's power had risen. If the Heavenly Academy got their hands on the mountain, they might be able to take over the Panwang Hall.
The old man in the Daoist robe was calculating in his heart when a voice suddenly resounded in the hall, "What a good plan. I also want to participate. How about the Heavenly Academy also give me a share?"
The expressions of the five Palace Masters changed, but they did not move. Instead, the eighteen Supreme Elders under them flashed and flew out.
"How dare you! Which evil creature dares to break into my Panwang Hall!"
The Supreme Elder's voice came from outside.
The old man in the Daoist robe was puzzled. Suddenly, he felt a pressure above his head. The five Palace Masters in the hall had disappeared.
"Boom!"
With a loud sound, the entire hall was crushed into powder. The old man in the Daoist robe raised his head and saw a huge pagoda that covered the sky, crushing down on him.
"Nine-floored … Pagoda!" The old man looked as if he had seen a ghost.
However, he did not have time to escape. Under the suppression of the Nine-floored Pagoda, he was crushed into powder. His body emitted a cloud of black smoke that condensed into a ball.
"Nine-floored Pagoda!"
After the five Palace Masters escaped, they looked at the huge pagoda in front of them in panic.
All the arrays of the Panwang Hall that had stood here for tens of thousands of years were crushed into powder by the pressure of the huge pagoda.
Out of the eighteen Grand Elders, three had disappeared. Clearly, those three had been crushed into fine powder.
The power of the Nine-floored Pagoda was far beyond their imagination.
The leader of the Palace Masters saw Ye Tianze standing on the pagoda and shouted, "Gongsun Hong, are you going to start a war with our Panwang Hall?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Ye Tianze replied, "Guys, take down the Panwang Hall, then destroy the Black Lotus!"
Then, the cultivators of the Nine-floored Pagoda flew out of the pagoda in a dark mass. The cultivators of the Panwang Hall were stunned.
They saw the Nine-floored Pagoda suddenly fall from the sky. The main hall of the Panwang Hall was crushed into powder. Three of the 18 Supreme Elders were crushed into powder in an instant.
As for the remaining fifteen, they were lucky to have run fast enough. Otherwise, they would have been crushed as well.
After the main hall was destroyed, a group of cultivators of the Nine-floored Pagoda rushed out. They shouted, "Lay down your weapons and don't kill. Those who dare to resist will be chopped into pieces."
Of course, the cultivators of the Panwang Hall wouldn't commit a crime so easily. After all, they had stood here for tens of thousands of years and had a deep foundation.
However, a powerful force of the Rule of Force radiated out. Accompanied by the huge pressure of the Nine-floored Pagoda, many cultivators of the Panwang Hall were crushed to the ground before they could resist.
Their world had just been opened, but it was instantly shattered like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. Tens of thousands of cultivators prostrated on the ground, unable to move.
"The Rule of Force. It's such a powerful Rule of Force!" The Supreme Elders of the Panwang Hall swallowed their saliva.
Under the double pressure of the Nine-floored Pagoda and the Rule of Force, even they couldn't open their world. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Even the five Palace Masters could barely open their world.
They were at the same level as Gongsun Hong. Unfortunately, Ye Tianze was no longer at the same level as when he just came out of the earth vein.
"Gongsun Hong, your strength … how … how did it increase to such a level? Could it be that you have broken through to the Emperor Realm?"
The leading Palace Master asked in a trembling voice.
"Not really."
Ye Tianze said, "However, it's very easy to crush you weaklings."
"Pfft!"
The five Palace Masters spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fainted. Although they weren't the strongest Palace Masters in the history of the Panwang Hall, they were definitely not the weakest either. However, in Ye Tianze's words, they had become weaklings!
Under the double blow, how could they still hold on?
