Chapter 481 Omega Saint Spirit Art (2/2)
Everyone earnestly nodded in acknowledgement.
It should have been over after awarding them the seven Cangxuan arts. However, sect master Qing Yang fell silent for a moment, before he looked towards Zhou Yuan and said, ”Zhou Yuan, as the chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak, you will have to enter the sealed main peak and attempt to unseal it.”
Zhou Yuan suddenly jerked to attention. It was finally here.
However, before he could respond, a calm voice suddenly sounded, ”Sect master, all of the past Saint Genesis Peak chief disciples have failed to unseal the main peak, and his chances will likely not be high either. Saint Genesis Peak is the patriarch's most beloved place, and should not be left to rot like this. I propose we allow all seven chief disciples to enter Saint Genesis Peak in hopes that their numbers will finally allow us to succeed in unsealing the peak.”
Zhou Yuan's pupils shrank slightly. He lifted his head, and found that it was peak master Ling Jun who had spoken.
Peak master Ling Jun's handsome face was calm, his eyes looking only at sect master Qing Yang, not giving even a single glance to Zhou Yuan.
Sect master Qing Yang and the other peak masters were a little taken aback, evidently not expecting peak master Ling Jun to make such a suggestion.
Peak master Lianyi glanced at peak master Ling Jun and said, ”You seem to be very concerned about Saint Genesis Peak.”
Peak master Ling Jun nonchalantly responded, ”Saint Genesis Peak is where the patriarch spent most of his time back then, while also the only place that has been preserved after his death. There are certain clues we need to uncover within it.”
”Including… the Cangxuan Saint Stamp!”
The last three words caused the mountain top to fall silent. An indescribable pressure seemed to engulf the place, causing one's heart to beat harder.
Sect master Qing Yang's expression also turned solemn.
”The Cangxuan Saint Stamp is too important. If it is once again held by our Cangxuan Sect, we will no longer need to fear the Sacred Palace, and will even be able to make them pay for what they did back then.”
Peak master Ling Jun slowly said, ”If such a divine artifact were to fall into the hands of the Sacred Palace, their palace master will become the new Heaven Master of Cangxuan Heaven, and wield the almighty power of this land… when that happens, billions of its inhabitants will become slaves of the Sacred race.”
”This is we need to reopen the main peak of Saint Genesis Peak as soon as possible, and ascertain whether the Cangxuan Saint Stamp is somewhere inside.”
In the face of peak master Ling Jun's words, even peak master Lianyi had nothing to say.
Peak master Lei Jun said in a deep and raspy voice, ”His words are reasonable.”
Sect master Qing Yang fell silent as he looked towards the other peak masters. None of them raised any objections, because this matter was indeed far too important.
The Cangxuan Saint Stamp was the ultimate treasure of Cangxuan Heaven!
However, Zhou Yuan began panicking inside as if his heart was on fire. He was certain that the Cangxuan Saint Stamp was not in Saint Genesis Peak. There was only the Cangxuan Saint Rune hiding somewhere inside!
But he obviously could not reveal this information.
If all seven chief disciples were really allowed to enter, even if he managed to find the Saint Rune, it would surely cause some sort of disturbance that would most likely be discovered by the others. What could he do when that happened?
If the Cangxuan Sect was truly united, he would be fine with taking a step back, and giving it up for the greater good. But patriarch Cang Xuan had warned him to be extra cautious in the Cangxuan Sect, and not allow the Saint Rune to be discovered by anyone else.
However, the six hegemons were currently discussing the topic, and a mere chief disciple like himself obviously did not have the qualifications to partic.i.p.ate. Moreover, if he showed too much anxiety, it would only draw suspicion to himself.
While Zhou Yuan was worrying inside, and trying to come up with a plan, an elderly voice suddenly sounded on the mountain top, forcibly inserting himself into the discussion between the six hegemons.
”The rules of Saint Genesis Peak were personally set by master back then. If you insist on trying to circ.u.mvent them, the only path you can take is over my dead body.”
This sudden voice alarmed everyone as they quickly lifted their heads.
Next, they saw an old man dressed in simple clothes holding a broom in his hand, who had somehow appeared on the mountain top at some unknown time. A pair of turbid eyes icily stared at sect master Qing Yang and the rest.
It was the caretaker of Saint Genesis Peak, the venerable old Xuan!
