After sending away the commanders of the Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning, Yang Xuan fell into deep thought.
He vaguely had a feeling that the Sacred Mountain was not what he thought it was.
However, he could not be sure now. He needed to understand the Sacred Mountain more deeply before he could make a judgment.
"Your Highness, the Envoy of the Dark Night has arrived."
Someone reported outside the door.
Yang Xuan temporarily put aside his thoughts. "Let him in."
"Yes!"
Soon, the Dark Night walked in.
After arriving in front of Yang Xuan, the Dark Night bowed respectfully to Yang Xuan and said, "Your Highness, the Azure Sky Saint."
Yang Xuan smiled and shook his head. "There's no need to be so polite between you and me."
The Dark Night straightened up and smiled. "Etiquette cannot be ignored!"
As he spoke, his eyes revealed a hint of emotion.
Yang Xuan asked him to take a seat. Thinking of something, he asked directly, "Didn't you say that the Saint and the Envoy are of the same level? Why do you have to bow to me?"
The Dark Night smiled bitterly. "Your Highness, you may not know. We were of the same level, but the Saint gave you the authority to kill. Your position is above mine."
Yang Xuan remembered the three authorities given to him by the Saint, so he asked, "What's the use of these authorities?"
The Dark Night sighed. "Someone will naturally tell you this, but since Your Highness asked, I'll tell you."
He took a deep breath and said, "Ordinary Saints have no other authority other than the one they already have. The Saints within the five sequences have an additional authority to supervise. In some areas, they can exercise supervision on behalf of the Saint and deal with corresponding matters. It's somewhat like the Emperor's Imperial Messenger in a secular country. "
Yang Xuan nodded. This was not difficult to understand.
The Dark Night continued, "Within the three sequences, there will be one more authority, and that is the power of interruption. It is somewhat like the imperial envoy who holds the imperial sword. They have a certain power of interruption and can punish others without the consent of the higher-ups."
Yang Xuan nodded again. This was not difficult to understand. He asked casually, "What about the power to kill? Can I kill people? "
The Dark Night's face was a little pale as he nodded.
Yang Xuan looked at him strangely.
Dark Night took a deep breath and said solemnly, "You can kill me!"
Yang Xuan was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
The Dark Night no longer hesitated and said, "The Saints have their own sequence, and so do the Sacred Envoys. I am ranked third among the Sacred Envoys. According to the sequence, I am below you. You can kill me directly."
Yang Xuan seemed to understand, but he didn't say anything. He just waited for Dark Night to explain further.
The Dark Night continued, "In the Sacred Mountain, you can kill anyone who is below you. You only need to give a reasonable explanation afterwards. This is the right to kill."
This time, Yang Xuan was shocked. He was now second sequence. In other words, other than a few people on the Sacred Mountain, he could kill everyone?
The Dark Night continued, "But if that's the extent of the Annihilation Authority, it wouldn't be called the number one authority of the Holy Son. Not only does the Extermination Authority allow you to deal with anyone below you at will, it also has an even more heaven-defying authority, and that is the Companion Authority, which is the Removal Authority and Immunity Authority. "
"Removal Authority?" Yang Xuan asked curiously.
"You can remove the authority of others. For example, if you want to kill me, but I want to resist, so I bring my subordinates to fight you. At that time, you can exercise the Removal Authority and remove my authority to order my subordinates. That is, you can remove my armed forces."
The Dark Night looked at Yang Xuan, and a trace of seriousness appeared in his eyes. "And there is only one use for the Immunity Authority, and that is to prevent others from removing the authority."
Yang Xuan understood a little. In other words, he could use the Annihilation Authority to not only take the lives of others, but also all the authority of others.
After understanding, he was a little shocked.
He didn't understand why the Saint would give him such great authority. This simply allowed him to be in a realm where he wouldn't be restrained by anyone on the Sacred Mountain.
The Dark Night stared at Yang Xuan, and his eyes were still full of disbelief. "I thought that the Saint would give you the Monitoring and Severing Authority, but I never expected that the Saint would give you the Annihilation Authority. Do you know that since ancient times, only one person has the Annihilation Authority? That is the First Saint."
"Hmm?" Yang Xuan was slightly surprised.
"Only the First Saint has the Annihilation Authority. The Saint gave you the Annihilation Authority, which means that there are two people in the Sacred Mountain who have the Annihilation Authority. They are the First Saint and you."
Before the Dark Night finished speaking, Yang Xuan already understood.
He seemed to understand why the Saint gave him the Annihilation Authority.
Since the First Saint had the Annihilation Authority, then if the First Saint wanted to attack him, he could directly remove his forces. However, it was different now. He also had the Annihilation Authority, and then the Immunity Authority, so the First Saint couldn't remove his armed forces.
In this way, if the First Saint wanted to fight him, he could only rely on his own abilities.
In other words, the Annihilation Authority put him and the First Saint on opposite sides, and there was no possibility of reconciliation.
What did the Saint mean? Yang Xuan was a little confused.
He felt as if he was in the middle of a mystery.
"Do you understand now?" The Dark Night smiled bitterly. "Be careful in everything you do. The First Saint is a terrifying figure."
Yang Xuan shook his head and said casually, "It all depends on the effort. The Annihilation Authority is also built on the basis that others will listen to it. For example, if I want to remove your armed forces, and your subordinates don't listen, it's useless."
The Dark Night shook his head. "This situation is impossible. As for the specific reason, you will know in the future."
Yang Xuan didn't comment and suddenly said, "By the way, have the contribution points for my two missions been calculated?"
The Dark Night laughed involuntarily. "My Lord Saint, we have completed one of the two missions, and only the beginning of the second one. How many contribution points can we get? When we divide them, it will be even less. However, as a Saint in the Sequence, you are born with 1,000 contribution points and can do a lot of things. However, from now on, you will have to think of your own ways, do missions, or contribute to the sect. "
"1,000 contribution points …" Yang Xuan didn't expect there to be such a benefit.
After some thought, he asked, "Can I enter the Library Pavilion?"
The Dark Night nodded. "Yes, you can borrow a lot of books. However, it's not called the Library Pavilion on the Sacred Mountain. It's called the Sacred Library. There are seven floors in total. You can enter the first five, but the last two require a Saint's permission."
Library?
Yang Xuan secretly exclaimed in his heart.
After bidding farewell to the Dark Night, Yang Xuan thought for a while and decided to go to the library to read.
As the saying went, diligence is the path to the mountain of books, and hardship is the boat in the boundless sea of learning.
Even if it wasn't for anything else, it would be good to understand the Sacred Mountain's arts.
Not to mention, he had also learned from Yan Feixu that the Sacred Mountain had fragmented records regarding the Earth Pearl.
After greeting Twenty-three and Twenty-four, Yang Xuan left the room.
His Holy Son residence was close to the Sacred Mountain, and the library was at the foot of the mountain.
As the second Holy Son, he had his own personal … hmm, car. Let's call it that for now. The origin car was a bit of a mouthful.
However, the library wasn't far, and he didn't plan to take a car. Thus, he walked out with Twenty-Three and Twenty-Four.
He didn't bring the monkey with him. He was drinking at home.
After leaving the residence was the street. The area where the Holy Son residence was located was a restricted area. Ordinary Sacred Mountain disciples couldn't enter without permission, so there weren't many people on the street.
Occasionally, people would pass by, and when they saw Yang Xuan in his purple robes, they would salute respectfully and address him as Your Highness.
Not long after, a group of people in black armor passed by. They didn't salute Yang Xuan when they saw him and simply passed by.
Yang Xuan asked Twenty-Three, "Who are they?"
Twenty-Three replied, "They belong to the Seventh Palace of the Twelve Imperial Palaces. They're in charge of protecting the Sacred Mountain. During their mission, they don't have to salute the Holy Son."
Yang Xuan nodded. So that was how it was.
After walking for about half an hour, Yang Xuan arrived at the library area.
The library was a large square building. From the outside, it looked a bit like the Water Cube that Yang Xuan had seen in his previous life.
