For the Vatican, the pure land of God, today could be said to be the most shocking day since the departure of the gods. Two figures emitting dazzling divine light stood in the void, facing each other like two gods. The void was filled with the aura of the ancient sages, causing their hair to stand on end and their bodies to feel as if they were about to split apart. They could not help but kneel on the ground and kowtow.
Ye Xuan looked at the person who had appeared in front of him. It was an old man. He was not very tall, and he was wearing golden armor. He exuded a holy aura, making him look like a god.
This was an ancient person. He was very old. Time had carved at least thousands of growth rings on his body. He was also a very powerful cultivator.
However, Ye Xuan could tell that the old man's cultivation was not on par with his. The reason why he could emit the aura of an ancient sage was because of the golden armor he wore. It was a sacred weapon that had been personally refined by an ancient sage. It contained the aura left behind by an ancient sage. If the god in it was resurrected, it would be comparable to the resurrection of an ancient sage.
"Cultivator from the Eastern Lands, why have you trespassed and disturbed the order of this Pure Land?" The old man looked at Ye Xuan, who was standing in the air. He was even more shocked. He never thought that such a terrifying cultivator would appear in this world. Shouldn't such a powerful cultivator have left this ancient planet thousands of years ago?
Looking at the old man in front of him, Ye Xuan said calmly, "You must be the Vatican's Pope. I'm here to return to your Holy Palace to look for an ancestral relic that you once seized from the Eastern Land. If you return it to me, I'll leave immediately!"
Ye Xuan actually did not have much ill will towards the Western sects. If it was not for the fragment of the map that led to immortality, he would not have crossed the ocean to this land. If it was not necessary, he did not want to kill too much.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the Pope's eyes flashed. He then asked in a deep voice, "What ancestral item are you looking for, sir? Please explain."
He could feel the aura coming from Ye Xuan's body. It was the aura of a Saint. If it was not for the sacred robe left behind by an ancient sage, he would not even have the strength to stand there.
Saints were a higher form of life that had already surpassed the scope of human life. They had merged with the Way and could use the Law of the Way. They were unparalleled and could be called true gods.
Although he was protected by the sacred robe left behind by an ancient sage, he knew that the robe he was wearing was not complete. It could not even unleash a tenth of the true sacred robe's power.
He had lived for thousands of years and was long past the time when he was young. If he did something despite knowing that it was impossible, he would not be courageous. He would be a fool, and fools would not live long.
The cultivator who had suddenly appeared before him, who might have come from the East, was obviously very powerful. Even with the Pope's cultivation, he could not compare to him. Even though he was wearing the sacred robe, he still felt a tremor in his heart. He had only felt this kind of feeling from the true gods thousands of years ago. He knew that this was a truly powerful cultivator. If he made an enemy of this person, it was very likely that he would bring terrible consequences to himself.
"That's it. I know you have one in the Holy Palace. Give it to me, I will leave immediately!" Ye Xuan flipped his right hand, and one of the bone fragments appeared. It was only the size of a palm and was simple and unadorned. There were complicated mountains and rivers carved on it. Although it was only a fragment, it was majestic.
"It's this?!!!" The Pope's eyes widened when he saw the bone fragment in Ye Xuan's hand. It was obvious that he recognized this bone fragment. Or perhaps, there was indeed a similar bone fragment hidden in the Vatican's Holy Palace.
The Pope's eyes flashed with divine light, as if the sun, moon, and stars were disappearing. His mind was racing.
As Ye Xuan said, there was indeed a similar bone fragment hidden in the Holy Palace's Holy Palace. It was said that it was left behind by a god who had left in ancient times. It contained a great secret and had always been hidden in the Holy Palace.
The Pope had once carefully studied this bone fragment. He had even sent people all over the world to search for the mountains and rivers on the bone fragment, but in the end, he found nothing. In the end, he could only let it stay in the Holy Palace's Holy Palace.
But today, a mysterious and powerful cultivator from the East came to this pure land just to take back the bone fragment?
Ye Xuan stood in the air and looked at the Pope in front of him. He did not say anything and quietly waited for the Pope to make a decision.
Although he did not want to kill, if the Pope still did not know what was good for him after he had exposed his cultivation, he would have no choice but to take the bone fragment by force. He would not hesitate even if he had to bathe the Vatican in blood.
There were many opportunities in the Land of Immortal Ascension. Only by gathering the map of the divine treasure that would allow one to enter the Land of Immortal Ascension would one be able to enter safely. Hence, he had to obtain the bone fragment in the Vatican.
Two god-like figures stood facing each other in the air. Under the influence of the Saints, everyone was kneeling on the ground. This scene seemed extremely harmonious and strange at the same time.
After a while, the divine light in the Pope's eyes finally calmed down. He looked at Ye Xuan and Ye Xuan knew that he had made his decision.
"I hope that you will keep your promise, Your Excellency!" The Pope looked at Ye Xuan and suddenly said in a deep voice.
"I'm only here for the ancestral item!" Ye Xuan replied calmly.
The Pope's eyes flickered when he heard Ye Xuan's words. In the end, he let out a long sigh and said, "Please wait for a moment, Your Excellency. I will go and get it now!"
In the end, the Pope decided to give in because he felt that his opponent was too powerful. Even if he used all the power of the Vatican, he would not be able to go against him. Under such circumstances, unless he wanted the entire Vatican to be buried with him, or if he hoped that this mysterious powerful cultivator would leave on his own accord.
However, he did not dare to take the risk because the price he would have to pay was too great for him to bear.
It was just a topographical map of the mountains and rivers. Compared to the entire Vatican, this was nothing. Moreover, this topographical map was not the only one. All he had to do was replicate them, and he would not lose anything.
Ye Xuan naturally knew that the Pope would not hand over the bone fragment just like that. He would definitely leave a copy behind. However, he did not care because there was only one piece of the map. Even if they managed to find Kunlun, they would not be able to enter the Land of Immortal Ascension.
Indeed, after a while, the Pope appeared again. He took out the bone fragment hidden in the Holy Palace and tossed it to Ye Xuan.
"Not bad!" Ye Xuan reached out and caught the bone fragment. After taking a look, he nodded in satisfaction and glanced at the Pope. Since he had already obtained what he wanted, he naturally would not stay any longer. With a turn of his body, he disappeared into the void.
