The fats on the fat priest’s face shook a little before he spoke in a soft voice, “Have you forgotten about that Zenith Sword from back then?”
At the mention of the Zenith Sword, the countenance of the man—who was referred to as Tuan Zi—changed, and his entire body started to swell up like a sphere. He seemed to have recalled the Divine Sword that defeated them and caused them to flee in a sorry state 1,000 years ago.
Tuan Zi exhaled and said, “Things are now different from back then. The White Emperor Zenith Sword has been split into three, and there are no longer amazing talents like Adam and the Formidable Divine King. It’s the best time chance for us to make our move.”
The fat priest shook his head and said calmly, “Things aren’t that simple. The situation in this continent is far more complicated than what we thought previously. Adam and the Formidable Divine King are no longer around, but don’t forget that 1,000 years ago, the Mage Association didn’t actually make a move.”
As the fat priest said this, he turned and said coldly, “Tuan Zi, don’t be rash. Wait till we’ve saved Eldest Brother and gotten our hands on the Divine Sun Emperor’s treasures.
“If I were to find out that you’ve complicated things prior to that and negatively affected our great plan…
“Don’t blame me for not taking our brotherhood into consideration.”
As the fat priest said this, a gust of eerie wind blew straight into Tuan Zi’s mind, causing his body to tremble slightly. A hint of hesitation flickered in Tuan Zi’s eyes.
“Your Heavenly Secrets Shifting Art has already recovered…?” Tuan Zi’s gaze narrowed as he looked at the fat priest’s departing figure. A line flashed through his mind.
‘Killing intent burst forth from the heavens and the stars’ positionings changes.’
‘1,000 years have passed. How much of the Heavenly Secrets Shifting Art are you still able to activate?’
In the Empire’s palace, Fang Xingjian quietly listened to the Fourth Prince’s words before nodding and saying, “It has been tough on you.”
The Fourth Prince shook his head and said, “I’ve only done some minor stuff. The most important thing is… What should we do about the upcoming Divine Treasures Meeting?”
“Just do what you think should be done. I’ll head over there personally when the time comes.”
The Fourth Prince heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Fang Xingjian say this. In his view, with Fang Xingjian having reached tier six of the Divine level, he would naturally be able to take charge of the situation.
Fang Xingjian continued, “I’ll be staying in the palace during this period of time. I explain some martial arts every couple of days. Call everyone back.”
Hearing Fang Xingjian’s arrangements, the Fourth Prince’s eyes gleamed. Fang Xingjian had reached tier six of the Divine level and could be said to be the world’s dominator with an extraordinary level of cultivation. For an existence like him to willingly explain martial arts to them, it was naturally something that everyone would be itching to experience.
However, his brows soon knitted together again. “But Lilia and the others are still at the plains. Are we going to send people in to bring them back?”
Fang Xingjian shook his head and said, “I’ve already given them the ninth level of the mystical prints and endless resources. At this stage, their foundations have already surpassed other people in the world by a lot.
“If they are still trapped in the plains despite this, then it just means that they are useless trash.”
As Fang Xingjian spoke, he disappeared from before the Fourth Prince with a flash.
Fang Xingjian returned to his training room. As his finger slid gently across the space before him, there seemed to be streams of black sword marks extending out, filling up the space like cracks.
“What should my Virtual Image be?”
Fang Xingjian thought about it in his mind, ‘I wonder who is the person behind the Divine Treasures Meeting. I’ll also need to check on the Plenary Foundation Septet’s seals as well.’ Thinking of this. his body shivered slightly and three black figures darted out from his body. They merged into void space and disappeared without a trace.
