Chapter 438 - Years Old, Sixth Tribulation Golden Immortal (1/2)
Only Zhou Xuanji could enter this courtyard, and he had given the order that if anyone wanted to come in, they would have to announce themselves from outside, including Shi Shenzong.
Shi Shenzong and Fei Hai were not here; they were most likely in the Divine Cliff City studying.
Soon, Marquis’ voice sounded from the Spirit Communication Heart, “What is it?”
Zhou Xuanji asked about the situation in the Northern Wilderness and Marquis answered any questions he had.
After he had left, the Northern Wilderness had continued to be quite peaceful. Devil Emperor Dugu guarded the north of the continent, not stepping out at all.
The other experts who could threaten the Northern Wilderness had not caused any problems either, and the Northern Wilderness had entered a period of peace.
The tension in Zhou Xuanji’s heart finally dissipated.
He told Marquis about Xiao Hongjun ascending and told him to be careful.
Following this, he put away the Spirit Communication Heart and gave some orders to his female attendants before going into his room and beginning his closed-door cultivation.
Zhou Xuanji sat on his bed cross-legged and made a circle with his hands as he prepared to consume the Dao Foetus Red Loathe Pearl.
He directly used World Internalisation and absorbed the spirit qi within the Dao Foetus Red Loathe Pearl.
Boom!
Zhou Xuanji felt his soul tremble as massive amounts of spirit qi flowed into his body. The feeling of this spirit qi cleansing his muscles and bones felt quite amazing, and he went into a state of complete focus.
Within the Cliff Master’s Hall, Han Xuzi gathered the 36 Emissaries, his Legacy Disciples, and the various Elders.
He sat at the main seat and began to speak.
“On the way to the Dao Heaven Sect, I encountered the people who wanted to kill Zhou Xuanji. Their target has already turned to our Divine Cliff, and according to my investigations, the participating factions include the Kuimu Hall, Big Dipper Sect, Buddha Ghost Sect, Black Thunder Hole, and Eight Desolate Spirit Sect. There are also some people whose identities I was unable to uncover.
“Even though I killed eight of them, it was far from enough. We will soon face the Divine Cliff’s biggest disaster in the past 100,000 years. I don’t want to explain why we need to protect Zhou Xuanji; you should all understand. You all need to be on your guard and defend against any invasions from enemies!”
His voice became more dignified and solemn than ever before, and no one questioned him.
As the executives of the Divine Cliff, they all knew that the Divine Cliff’s development had reached a bottleneck. They could no longer continue to excavate resources from mortal realms, and Zhou Xuanji gave them hope of breaking through their obstacles.
The Senior Disciple Yang Yutian cupped his fists and said, “Do we need to provide Zhou Xuanji with more resources?”
He did not feel any envy towards Zhou Xuanji.
He wanted the Divine Cliff to become stronger even more than the Cliff Master.
Moreover, according to his understanding, Zhou Xuanji had created his own sect in the mortal realm and loved swords, and he would most likely not accept the position of Cliff Master.
Han Xuzi shook his head and said, “He has his own fortuitous opportunities; we don’t need to add momentum. All we need to do is help him find the locations of the Eighteen Saint Swords.”
Eighteen Saint Swords!
Everyone in the hall started murmuring.
Yang Yutian felt quite startled and said, “I know of one Saint Sword, but that sword is in…”
He said that Saint Sword’s location, causing everyone to feel quite shocked.
“Why is it in his hands?”
“If that really is the case, how can we obtain that sword?”
“Forget it, let’s look for the other Saint Swords.”
“I agree.”
“Cliff Master, you can’t leave the Divine Cliff; if you leave, the Divine Cliff will most likely be attacked.”
Han Xuzi deeply frowned, a look of wariness in his eyes.
He sighed and said, “Let’s look for the other Saint Swords. That person is quite crazy but has great power. Even if I face off against him, I don’t have complete certainty of victory.”
The others nodded.
…
Yang Yutian frowned but did not say much.
…
News of Zhou Xuanji’s ascension caused the Centre God Province to be quite chaotic.
After he went into closed-door training, whenever the Divine Cliff’s disciples went out on missions, they would be attacked by mysterious factions.
Even the Divine Cliff City had enemies sneak in.
Even though the higher-level personnel could understand, the disciples felt quite dissatisfied.
They felt that it was unjust that they had to suffer danger because of Zhou Xuanji.
Soon, voices of discontent began to fill the Divine Cliff.
Ten months later.
