Attention on the Divine Mountain
"Young Master, the invaders have all been dealt with."
Just as Ye Zichen was pondering how to deal with the Parliament of Stars, Jiao Qi and the others entered his room. When Wei Jie came to report the situation, they sensed that someone was acting strangely in Ice Blue City, so they went out to investigate.
This situation was no longer strange. Groups of people would come to Ice Blue City every few days.
However, with Jiao Qi and the others around, there was no danger that could get rid of them all. In just half a year, just the wealth he had obtained from these invaders was equivalent to over fifty percent of what he had obtained from selling Sea Condensing Pills.
Ye Zichen nodded calmly at them, then returned his attention to the Parliament of Stars.
In truth, Ye Zichen's main goal in selling the Sea Condensing Pills was to get a rough idea of the strength of those who could descend from the Divine Mountains. After more than half a year, he had a rough understanding that the strongest cultivators who could descend from the Divine Mountains were only ninth-stage earth supremes. Sky supremes shouldn't be able to descend to the Lower Realms from the Divine Mountains. Or rather, descending would require a hefty price.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Divine Mountain's clans to not send out Sky Supremes and above to deal with them after wiping out so many Earth Supremes.
Since there were no sky supremes present, Ye Zichen was invincible.
"Jiao Qi."
"Your subordinate is here."
When he heard Ye Zichen's call, Jiao Qi immediately took a step forward.
"Tidy up the spiritual herbs, Prized artefacts and talismans in the general goods shop. We'll follow Wei Jie to meet that so-called Parliament of Stars."
At the same time, on the Central Divine Mountain, in the Xiao Manor that was in charge of the Lightning Punishment.
"It's been half a year since we sent people there. The others have all returned, but the one who went to the Northern Divine Mountain hasn't returned. What's going on?"
Xiao Yan furrowed his brows as he looked at the young man holding a tome in the hall. The young man bowed in response.
"I tried to contact the people at the foot of the Northern Divine Mountain, but I don't know if the message wasn't sent, or if they pretended not to have received it. In any case, I didn't get a response. Therefore, I have already sent people to investigate. It shouldn't be long before we get the results. "
Xiao Yan nodded after hearing this answer. At the same time, the young man holding the book spoke again, "That's right.
"However, a few particularly interesting things have happened in the Lower Lands recently."
"Tell me about it."
Ever since he'd assumed the position of family head, Xiao Yan felt the burden on his shoulders grow heavier and heavier. That was especially true after the Profound Pavilion forced their way into the Lightning Emperor's Estate. He'd lost all face and was the subject of much criticism.
Fortunately, in the past hundred years, people had gradually forgotten about this matter.
However, when the people from the Lightning Emperor's Manor faced off against the people from the Profound Pavillion, they always felt like they were at a disadvantage.
Now that there was something interesting, he wanted to listen to it and relax.
"Not long ago, a Master Ye suddenly appeared in the Lower Lands and started selling Sea Condensing Pills in large quantities. In the past half a year, the number of ascenders from our nine Divine Mountains has increased by several dozen times."
"A few dozen times?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but arch his brows. "Which faction is he from? No, that's not right. If he really was from some force, then he wouldn't have sold it to other Immortal Kings under the Divine Mountains. "
The young man holding the book chuckled.
"He's not a member of any clan, so it's easy to imagine how much wealth he made from selling so many Sea Condensing Pills. Clans from all nine Divine Mountains sent people to seize them, but they were all killed by Master Ye's subordinates. Not a single one survived. The sale of Sea Condensing Pills directly affected the territory of the Lower Lands. Countless immortal kings ascended, and the Lower Lands fell into chaos. Amidst this chaos, a gang called 'Upheaval' appeared out of nowhere. They've already monopolized over fifty percent of the Lower Lands' factions. It seems this gang belongs to Master Ye as well. "
Although the young man spoke in a relaxed manner, Xiao Yan's expression darkened when he heard this. There was no way he could take everything as lightly as he'd imagined.
Although the territory of the Lower Lands couldn't affect the Upper Lands, this so-called Master Ye's intentions were clear.
Especially his gang's name: Upheaval!
Selling off Sea Condensing Pills and seizing territory and resources … all of this was part of his plan. His true goal was most likely to be just like his gang's name; he wanted to plunge the Lower Lands, and even the Divine Mountains, into chaos.
What concerned Xiao Yan even more was that Master Ye had actually managed to wipe out all the people his clans had sent down.
Although he wasn't sure how strong his clans were, they were absolutely earth supreme-level experts. Most people in the Lower Lands were below the immortal king level. Even if there were earth supremes, they were sent down by certain clans.
It could be said that earth supremes were invincible existences in the Lower Lands.
Yet Master Ye had managed to wipe out earth supremes, and not just a single one at that.
"Send someone to investigate this Master Ye." Although Ye Zichen was only active in the Lower Lands, his actions had already made it impossible for those above to ignore him.
"My Lord, there's no need to worry about that. I investigated him half a month ago." The young man holding the ancient book smiled and said, "The interesting things that I mentioned were also discovered from the investigation."
"What interesting things?"
"That Master Ye might have the Yao-Sealing Pagoda," said the youth.
Boom!
Xiao Yan's aura erupted uncontrollably from within him. He gripped the armrests of his chair tightly, his body trembling slightly as he gulped incessantly. He stared fixedly at the youth in the hall.
The Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
The God Emperor, Emperor Hades, and Demon Emperor viewed it with great importance, even to the Shamans. Rumor had it that the pagoda hid an earth-shattering secret.
However, the Yao-Sealing Pagoda had vanished after the Five Elements Great Emperor's death. Why had it reappeared?
"Are you sure?"
Under the pressure of his divine power, the youth's tome glowed faintly, forming a barrier in front of him that blocked out Xiao Yan's aura.
At the same time, the youth smiled and nodded.
"There's at least an eighty percent chance of that happening."
After receiving the youth's confirmation, Xiao Yan completely retracted his aura. He sat in his chair for a long time without saying a word. However, the youth with the tome finally spoke.
"His Excellency the God Emperor has been searching for news of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda all this time. Should we tell him?"
"No!"
To everyone's surprise, Xiao Yan, who was sitting in his chair, stared at him and refused. At the same time, he revealed a grave expression.
"Do you remember the legend between the Five Elements Great Emperor and the God Emperor?"
"My tome says that because the Five Elements Great Emperor doted on his nine-tailed fox wife too much, he betrayed the God Race. When the God Emperor discovered this, he killed him, "said the youth, flipping through his tome.
"That's right, that's what they say."
Xiao Yan nodded solemnly, but he couldn't stop sighing.
