“20 years ago, he made a prophecy of your existence and told us to hand the Divine Remains Equipment to you before the seventh onslaught.”

Fang Xingjian was slightly surprised. He had not expected things to turn out this way.

’20 years ago… Wasn’t that when I was born?’

The Immortality Saint did not pay any heed to Fang Xingjian’s surprise and continued, “Based on what he said, 16 years later, a young man who looked a lot like him would appear in this world. This person would stop the seventh onslaught.

“And we, the three Saints, would have to keep the Divine Remains Equipment for this person before he appeared. We would then hand the Divine Remains Equipment to him and help him stop the seventh onslaught.”

As the Immortality Saint spoke, he put out his hand, and a stream of white light gradually rose from the center of his palm. However, the white light was too piercing. Even when Fang Xingjian tried to use his martial will to scan it, he was still unable to see how deep the light was.

“This is…” Fang Xingjian frowned slightly.

The Immortality Saint sighed and said, “This is a part of the Church’s strongest Divine Remains Equipment—a level 39 Divine Weapon, the White Emperor Zenith Sword.

“The White Emperor Zenith Sword is said to be forged from the bones from the hand of the God of Universal Truth. It contains the supreme powers of the world.”

The Immortality Saint sighed, “Of course, at our level, we know that this is just a legend. However, even if it wasn’t forged from the bones of the God of Universal Truth, it is still the number one Divine Weapon in the world, and it is a sacred item that has been passed down within our Church for 10,000 years.

“Although the previous Pope’s reputation is resounding, the three of us still find it hard to honor his dying wish.”

Fang Xingjian did not say anything, but he knew that what the other party said was right. How could they possibly hand over the world’s number one Divine Weapon—a sacred item that had been passed down within the church for 10,000 years—just because of a few words?

In fact, the Pope should have also been aware of how things would turn out, so why would he leave such orders? Regardless, there was no way for Fang Xingjian to find out now.

However, knowing the Pope’s dying wish and adding that to the information that Fang Xingjian had gotten previously, it cast a fog of confusion over the entire matter.

“Therefore, the Oceansky Saint and the Phenomenal Saint announced that you’re a demonic fetus and swore to kill you,” the Immortality Saint said. “However, I feel that the previous Pope is a great genius, and there must be a deeper meaning behind his actions.

“Over the past 20 years, even though we each only have one-third of the White Emperor Zenith Sword, the three of us have still improved tremendously. With this Divine Equipment in hand, it will just be a matter of time before we reach tier six of the Divine level.

“With this, regardless of whether it’s me or the other two, we’re even more unwilling to hand the White Emperor Zenith Sword over to you.

“The other two even have their eyes set on the other two parts of the White Emperor Zenith Sword, wanting to combine the three parts into one.”

The Immortality Saint explained the entire matter and also made it clear where he and the other two Saints stood. There was an irreconcilable contradiction in this matter.

The three of them did not wish to hand over this White Emperor Zenith Sword. However, the Immortality Saint was more amiable toward Fang Xingjian, while the other two Saints were worried that the Pope might have left other measures and that Fang Xingjian would seize the White Emperor Zenith Sword. Therefore, they wanted to kill Fang Xingjian to resolve all their troubles.

Moreover, the fact that the Immortality Saint could say this also made it clear that he had the intention of joining forces with Fang Xingjian.

Therefore, Fang Xingjian looked at him and asked directly, “How do you wish to go about this?”

The Immortality Saint said, “Fang Xingjian, with your current abilities, joining forces with me will mean that you’ll have a chance to go up against the Oceansky Saint and the Phenomenal Saint.

“And out of the three of us, I’m your only option to join forces with.”

Fang Xingjian said indifferently, “One must express their sincerity they want to join forces.”

“Haha,” the Immortality Saint laughed, and a stream of information current flowed into Fang Xingjian’s mind. “This is the Trice technique that is secretly passed down within the Church.

“At our level, we know that the trials of the Nine-Tiered Heavens consist of heading to other worlds.
