619 Going Into Action Without Delay (2/2)
It would not be easy to achieve this. Therefore, the three pondered on this for quite a while in silence before leaving separately.
Surely, after 10 days, the matter on the Thunder Emperor's touring abode should have spread across the entire martial arts world as well as the whole practitioner realm. Once they heard that the Ancient Ruins might be the Thunder Emperor's touring abode, the strongest of the 99 Emperors in antiquity times, immediately turned green-eyed with envy. They were all rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, wanting to rush into Desolate Island immediately and search island wide for the Thunder Emperor's touring abode inch by inch.
But gradually, everyone noticed that something fishy was going on, because Desolate Island was not located in the Seven-deity Regions but in the depths of the Sea Area. Every knowledgeable man knew how dangerous the Sea Area was. In the Four Eastern Regions, apart from the five biggest sects and the Dark Sect, no other influences had the capability to cross the Sea Area. Thus, how could the five biggest sects just sit back and let other people obtain such a great benefit?
That was the situation now. Their behaviour was rather strange. Probably, they intended to let the others be the primary targets.
Therefore, this kind of matter had to be pondered over carefully before deciding if it was worth it!
Giving up your life for merely an illusionary Ancient Ruins did not seem to be worthwhile!
As a result, this news had simmered to its extreme by the 10th day. After that, the enthusiasm of the martial arts practitioners began to fade. Once again, just like what they did previously, everyone sat back and waited to see how the five biggest sects would react.
The reaction from the five biggest sects was pretty vehement, or precisely, the reaction of Divine Wind Palace, the leader of the five biggest sects was very violent. That was because the Devil Fetus that took over Desolate Island was initially a core disciple of Divine Wind Palace. The reason why the Devil Fetus could find the Thunder Emperor's touring abode was probably because he utilized some intelligence from Divine Wind Palace. Once they realised the issue, Divine Wind Palace felt very displeased. And then, they thought, ”This Thunder Emperor's touring abode should belong to us. Given the huge benefit of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, if we need to take some undesirable measures, we will do it. If we truly obtain the Pool of Thunder Tribulation and turn on Grand Divine Wind Palace, haha, then, who in the Seven-deity Regions can ever compete with our Divine Wind Palace?”
Accordingly, when it came to this matter, Divine Wind Palace was the one that responded most actively. But meanwhile, they knew without doubt that the Thunder Emperor's touring abode was not that easy to take on. Without considering other sects in the Seven-deity Regions, the Sea Area alone was enough to give them a headache.
Even for the vast Sea Area with its unrivaled strength, the Pool of Thunder Tribulation in the Thunder Emperor's touring abode was still a rare and precious treasure that would cause a commotion in the influences of the Sea Area. If you were concerned whether the Sea Area was able to get the news, well, no one need to say more. Over the years, the Sea Area had never relaxed its vigilance over the Seven-deity Regions. Every movement of the Seven-deity Regions was reported to the Sea Area, what more for this kind of big news. It had taken a while for this news to spread, then, how could the Sea Area be unaware of this? Plus, this time the action would be happening right in the Sea Area!
”No matter what, we shall find the Thunder Emperor's touring abode and get the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. That is the biggest guarantee our Seven-deity Regions could ever obtain for self-protection. As long as we have the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, we can tap on the power from Grand Divine Wind Palace, and that is a Supreme Fairy Weapon. With this Supreme Fairy Weapon at hand, even if we run into some enemies who have a Supreme Fairy Weapon, it'll still be possible for us to confront them!” That was what Yu Taixu had said in front of everyone during the conference of the five biggest sects.
However, the moment he finished speaking, the retorts came swiftly.
”Grand Divine Wind Palace is merely a broken Supreme Fairy Weapon; the macro world inside it was already damaged during the tribulation. Even if you get the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, it will at most be upgraded to a powerful Highest Heaven Celestial Device. That kind of device also can be found at our place. Thus, why should we let you Divine Wind Palace have the Pool of Thunder Tribulation?”
When profits were involved, everyone started arguing back and forth in their own interests. At last, it was Yan Yuntian, the newly appointed Human Emperor candidate, who, though, had little connection with the five biggest sects but enjoyed a superior status, stood up and made an announcement, ”No matter which sect the Pool of Thunder Tribulation belongs to in the end, the basis of this issue is that our operation has to succeed. Our Four Eastern Regions are just trying to prepare for this task through discussion. But now, even before seizing the target, inside disputes have occurred. That is highly inappropriate. The power of our enemies is quite strong, and that is self-evident. As the old saying goes, unity makes us stronger while splitting up makes us weaker. Now, the five biggest sects of our Four Eastern Regions should unite and exert their powers to seize the treasure first. As to how to distribute the benefits, we shall settle this among ourselves after we have successfully retrieved the treasure!” After this, the dispute was brought to an end.
