Mo Wen had never doubted the abilities of Huatian Palace. However, it was too terrifying to think that a Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall was able to go against half the ancient martial arts world.
If they were facing an ordinary martial arts sect, the power of Huatian Palace would not seem as extreme. However, Huatian Palace's opponents were the heretic forces. The abilities of the heretic forces were strong and hard to determine. Who knew how much power they had hidden? Even Mo Wen was shocked to discover that Huatian Palace's abilities to take on their enemies remained the same even if all the heretic forces were to be included in the equation.
”You will understand what sort of existence Huatian Palace is in the future. If not for Huatian Palace, the worlds would have already been in chaos. The higher one's position is, the greater the responsibility. If you were to join the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall, there would be a corresponding responsibility for you to bear. But I am certain that the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall is the best place to cultivate. With your talents, the chances of you becoming an immortal would be high if you were to cultivate in the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall,” Mo Qingtian said meaningfully, as he looked at the teacup in his hand.
”What responsibilities are there for a person joining the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall?” Mo Wen asked curiously.
”Don't worry. The management of Huatian Palace is very relaxed. There is not much of a difference in the management of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall and the other four main palace halls. At most, they are slightly stricter on important matters. In actual fact, the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall is the core strength behind Huatian Palace's management of the ancient martial arts world. The things that the four main palace halls come into contact with cannot be compared to the things we come into contact with. The Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall rarely takes in those with too many connections with ancient martial arts sects. But you are the exception. Even though you have already established your own faction, you are still young and there are endless possibilities. You might not only be restricted to the ancient martial arts world.”
Mo Qingtian looked at Mo Wen meaningfully. It was obvious what the perspective of Huatian Palace was. Huatian Palace was interested in nurturing Mo Wen and helping him to become an exceptional warrior. Once he became an immortal, he would not have much to do with regular martial arts sects. Even if he did, it would not be about anything important given his level.
”Did you come to me just to persuade me to join the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall?” Mo Wen asked lightly. There would have been no need for Mo Qingtian to have come personally just to discuss this matter.
”That's right,” Mo Qingtian said, nodding. ”Since you asked, I won't waste my time. I came to you because I need your help with something.”
”Oh! What is it?” Mo Wen looked at Mo Qingtian in surprise.
Mo Qingtian was not a simple person. Even Mo Wen could not see him through completely. Furthermore, Mo Qingtian represented the Huatian Palace. What help did such a huge entity need from him? Could he deal with something the Huatian Palace could not?
”I have heard a little about some of your experiences in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. I am not interested in how you united all the sects in the dimension, and neither is Huatian Palace. However, we are interested in your experience in the Fire Domain.
Mo Qingtian played with the purple sand teacup in his hand and focused his gaze on Mo Wen. Huatian Palace took what had happened in the Fire Domain extremely seriously.
”You all are really well informed.” Mo Wen's pupils shrank and his muscles tightened slightly. He had forgotten about Huatian Palace. It was impossible for them not to take notice of such a major event in the Fire Domain. With Huatian Palace's position in the world, they probably knew about many things in the Fire Domain. They might even know about some hidden things.
What Mo Wen was slightly worried about was how Huatian Palace would treat this matter. If they had any ideas and planned to do something to him…
”Rest assured. Huatian Palace does not have any ill-intentions towards you. You don't have to guess what they want either. Huatian Palace has a long history and has not done anything that goes against their principles. Since Huatian Palace manages this area, and such a major incident happened within it, the palace has to find out what happened to ensure the safety and stability of the future.”
”To be honest, once the news of what happened in the Fire Domain spread, Huatian Palace immediately sent envoys to check out the situation. However, for some reason, when the envoys reached the Fire Domain, it had already been completely destroyed by an unknown force. The ancient ruins of immortal cultivators have disappeared completely as well.”
Mo Qingtian's eyes shone. No ordinary force could destroy ancient ruins completely. Not even immortal cultivators could do that, much less ordinary warriors. Only some extremely powerful immortal cultivators had that power.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for such a being to exist in the main world. Once such an existence appeared in the main world, Huatian Palace would have received news about it. As such, the power that had removed all traces of the ancient ruins was definitely a power left behind from the past.
It would have been fine if this sort of power was a single occurrence. However, if it was in the control of certain life forms, and there were uncertainties surrounding it, then it was a great threat to this world.
”The ancient ruins have disappeared completely?” Mo Wen was shocked. Was something wrong with the Fighting Spirit Tower and the Star Emperor archaeological site?
”Not a single trace could be found. It should be impossible. That is why I came to find you and ask you about your experience there,” Mo Qingtian said.
”You are worried that this could pose a threat to Huatian Palace?” Mo Wen frowned. He was not stupid. This situation was indeed unusual. Ordinary people would not be able to do something like this.
”That's right.” Mo Qingtian nodded.
