473 The Beginning (1/2)
'These are indeed Source Crystals!'
Fang Yuan flipped his hands and kept the crystals safely.
These two Source Crystals were neither too big nor too small. However, if it were to be used, it could transform a normal human being with no cultivation to a 6th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master.
Such energy would still be useful to even a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master.
”Thank you head! I have a few pieces of intelligence with me which I am willing to share with you.”
Fang Yuan smiled as he unreservedly revealed everything he had heard from the higher-ups of the 5 Grand Organisations.
After all, he did not believe that the Imperial Court would not plant spies within the 5 Grand Organisations. After all, the pieces of information which he was providing were not crucial and more importantly, he could gain the trust of the Head.
”That's great!”
Indeed, after listening to Fang Yuan, the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards felt appreciative. ”Since you are unwilling to join the Hidden Dragon Guards, you can remain as our Guest Minister. Now is the perfect time for the Imperial Court to strike back... You are in a favourable position within the core team of the 5 Grand Organisations. I have a few missions in mind and you seem to be the best candidate for these missions.”
”Please enlighten me!”
Fang Yuan's expression changed. ”Considering the fact that I want to wipe out the Source Seeking Sect, I believe that the both of us have the basis and foundation to work together.”
”You are indeed the disciple of Master Heartless to have the determination to wipe out the Source Seeking Sect, huh?”
The Head of the Hidden Dragon Guards gazed at Fang Yuan and his smile became wider before he started to laugh hysterically. ”Great! This is great! We can work together to wipe out Source Seeking Sect as soon as this war is over!”
...
As soon as Fang Yuan returned to the military base, he could feel that the atmosphere was different.
”Lord Fang Yuan!”
Before his designated tentage, a dream master from the Realm Alliance seemed to have waited for him for a long time. ”The Sage and a few other elders have arrived!”
”Sage?”
Fang Yuan was shocked. ”The Sage of the Realm Alliance have arrived? How many elders have come over?”
”Just now, Alliance Leader, Lord Demon Killing Divine Pen and a few elders have arrived.” The reporting dream master seemed to be in his forties and his submissive look made it obvious that he was full of admiration to the Sage and the few other elders.
”Bring me there!”
Fang Yuan took in a deep breath as he followed the dream master to a huge tent in the centre of the military base.
”Fang Yuan requests to see the Sage!”
He bowed slightly towards the tent.
”Come in!”
A loud voice was heard in his spiritual will.
Fang Yuan opened the flaps of the tent and in that instant, he was being transported to another world.
The sun and the moon were high up in the sky. Grass filled the ground and flowers were in full bloom.
”A hollow? No wonder I cannot detect anything from outside!”
Fang Yuan immediately took a deep bow. ”Greetings, Sage!”
”Very well, please rise!”
A loud voice commanded and Fang Yuan rose. Quickly, he scanned the surroundings.
In the centre of this new world, a being was sitting on a cloud bed with his legs crossed and was the centre of attraction.
Even light was being absorbed into the silhouette of the godly being.
On his head, a streak of white energy shot up, forming clouds which held up the entire sky.
'This is still within the tent, and this hollow is merely created by the Sage with a single thought!'
Fang Yuan was certain that the person before him was The Ancient One!
”Your physical body is in good form, Hmm... and you are already at the 5th Tier of Illusionary Divine as a dream master? Not bad, not bad at all!”
The Ancient One peered through Fang Yuan and waved his hands. ”The 8 of you are the strongest fighting force of the Realm Alliance. We have already waited for this moment long ago...”
”We will serve the Alliance Leader with our lives!”
Within the small hollow, Xi Chen, Green Wood, Black Water, Thick Earth, Sharp Gold, Extreme Darkness and Smelter were all there as they bowed together with Fang Yuan.
”Very well... I hope that none of you will disappoint me!”
The Ancient One clapped his hands lightly. ”Xi Chen and Extreme Darkness, please remain. The rest of you, please take your leave!”
”Yes, Sir!”
Fang Yuan and Elder Smelter took their bows before leaving. As they left the tent, they exchanged glances before arriving at where Elder Smelter was staying.
”When did Alliance Leader come out of isolation?”
Fang Yuan appeared confused. ”Didn't he say that he had an important task at hand?”
”The attack on the Jade Capital is of utmost importance. Alliance Leader and Lord Demon Killing Divine Pen have personally came here and other Sages had already taken over their tasks. Furthermore, before the final war, the remaining Sages will also arrive!”
Elder Smelter let out a mysterious chuckle.
This was not a piece of important information anyway. Therefore, he revealed it without any consideration to convince Fang Yuan to stay within the alliance.
Regardless, Fang Yuan was once from his faction and was already imprinted with Elder Smelter's print. Even though Feng Xinzi's incident had happened, Elder Smelter would still be credited for his contributions to the alliance.
”The arrival of two Sages and the fact that other Sages are ready to strike anytime... We also have more than half of the elders of the 5 Grand Organisations...”
Fang Yuan was lost in his thoughts. ”If this is so, the war is about to happen?”
”Of course... War is always dangerous and even I myself don't know how long my old bag of bones can last...”
Elder Smelter sighed.
Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and was lost in his own thoughts.
