Having learned from Mo Qianye that Baili Mo had nurtured an Immortal Saber, a sharp glint flickered in Huangpu Haotian's eyes. As expected, none of them were simple.
Baili Mo had nurtured an Immortal Saber, and even his own family's Huangpu Tao had known about it.
Yet he himself had been kept completely in the dark!
It was clear that these guys all had their own little schemes.
Then, he picked up his sound transmission token:
“Fellow Daoist Chu, I heard your family's Baili Mo nurtured an Immortal Saber that is on the verge of breaking through to the Earth tier?”
Having just settled the Second Elder of the Ancient God Clan, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan was just about to leave.
Suddenly, Huangpu Haotian's voice rang out from the sound transmission token at his waist.
“What?”
“An Immortal Saber?”
“An Immortal Saber on the verge of breaking through to the Earth tier?”
Hearing the message, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan and the other two couldn't help but cry out in shock.
Then, the three of them looked at each other, their breathing turning ragged.
“Patriarch, ask that old fellow Huangpu if the news is reliable!” the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan yelled, his eyes wide.
An Immortal Saber on the verge of advancing to the Earth tier!
If it really reached the Earth tier, wouldn't their Ancient God Clan have a chance to become the number one power on the Xuantian Continent?
Most importantly, they would be able to beat those detestable fellows of the Qingshan Sect into the ground!
And finally vent the years of humiliation they had suffered!
The Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan had clearly thought of this as well. He hurriedly picked up his sound transmission talisman:
“Fellow Daoist Huangpu, where did you get this news? Is it reliable?”
“The news is absolutely, 100% reliable. Someone saw it with their own eyes in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm... You can find out just by asking any cultivator who entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm...”
Hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan.
Could Baili Mo really have nurtured an Immortal Saber in the abandoned Immortal Ancient Secret Realm?
As for the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm that those low-level cultivators yearned for, they, as Half-Immortals, didn't care about it at all.
This was also why none of them had gone when the secret realm opened!
Immediately, the Patriarch of the Ancient God Clan turned to the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan and said,
“Go to the Central Province to gather information!”
The Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan nodded with a solemn expression, and with a flash of his figure, he vanished into the void.
He also knew this matter was not simple. If this Immortal Saber fell into the hands of other forces, there might be a massive upheaval among these ancient powers!
After stepping out of the Central Province's teleportation array, the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan easily gathered information.
This was because everyone was discussing the events of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.
Indeed, too many things had happened in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm this time!
First, the Guiyi Sword Sect and the Tiansheng Sect crashed their spirit boats.
This resulted in all the cultivators at or above the Soul Transformation stage at the scene being sucked into the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.
Then, too many cultivators had died in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.
Most of the Soul Transformation cultivators who entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm this time had perished!
It directly caused a devastating gap in the population of Soul Transformation cultivators in the Central Province.
First, a batch had died at Songfeng Villa outside Tiansheng City, and then many more had died in the secret realm...
It made Soul Transformation cultivators in the Central Province a rare commodity.
Hearing this news, the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan checked his location.
He realized he was closest to the Yunhua Sacred Palace.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan flew straight toward the Yunhua Sacred Palace.
Sensing the arrival of the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan's aura, the Yunhua Ancestor knew that what was bound to come had finally arrived.
The people of these ancient powers had still tracked them down!
But sending a Half-Immortal right off the bat, isn't that a bit too much?
It made him, the ancestor of a sect, look completely insignificant!
But at this moment, he didn't dare to act like some high-and-mighty ancestor!
He respectfully bowed to the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan:
“Greetings, Senior!”
“Tell me about what happened inside the secret realm!” the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan said coldly, wasting no words.
The Yunhua Ancestor was very tactful. Wasting no words, he immediately began to recount the events surrounding the Immortal Saber.
When the Yunhua Ancestor described how people from several ancient powers were all fighting over the Immortal Saber, the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan furrowed his brows so tightly they could have pinched a mosquito to death!
“You're saying that the Ancient Imperial, Ancient Demon, and Ancient Fiend clans... were all snatching my Ancient God Clan's Immortal Saber?”
The Yunhua Ancestor hurriedly shook his head:
“I... I don't know who was snatching from whom! I just saw everyone fighting over it! Because I didn't recognize any of those seniors at all!”
“Hmm?” The Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over the Yunhua Ancestor with icy intensity.
Instantly, a freezing pressure washed over him. The Yunhua Ancestor's face paled, a drop of cold sweat rolling down his forehead. He couldn't help but complain in his heart:
Can I even say that? If the other powers find out,
I'll be dead with just a single glare!
But seeing the pressure emanating from the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan, the Yunhua Ancestor gritted his teeth and hurriedly said:
“Yes! Senior, you are absolutely right. It was indeed them who snatched your family's Immortal Saber...”
Between dying later and dying now, the Yunhua Ancestor knew exactly how to choose.
But after saying those words of false bravado, the Yunhua Ancestor cursed inwardly:
Damn it, this life is unlivable!
Can they stop bullying those with low cultivation like us?
Seeing that the Yunhua Ancestor was quite tactful, the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan finally said,
“Continue!”
“Yes, yes...”
The Yunhua Ancestor complied repeatedly, while inwardly letting out a sigh of relief. He continued:
“...The Immortal Saber flew toward the Saint of the Qingshan Sect, but the Saint of the Qingshan Sect threw out a pile of gold bricks and knocked the Immortal Saber away...”
“What? The Saint of the Qingshan Sect actually didn't want the Immortal Saber?”
Hearing this, the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan couldn't help but cry out in shock.
This sudden shout almost scared the Yunhua Ancestor out of his wits again.
He couldn't help but mutter in his heart:
You're an esteemed senior, after all. Can't you show some restraint? You're going to scare us juniors to death, you know?
Especially someone like me with a weak kidney!
The Yunhua Ancestor only dared to complain in his heart, while his expression grew increasingly respectful.
“Yes! That Saint of the Qingshan Sect directly knocked the Immortal Saber away!!”
The Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan couldn't help but mutter,
“Is the Saint of the Qingshan Sect an idiot? That's an Immortal Saber, yet he actually didn't want it...”
The Yunhua Ancestor just listened silently, offering no opinion.
At the same time, he muttered in his heart: In that situation, if the Saint of the Qingshan Sect dared to take the Immortal Saber, he would have been courting death.
And you call him an idiot? I think you're the idiot!
The Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan clearly thought of this as well, and then continued:
“Continue. Who did the Immortal Saber end up with in the end?”
“After the Saint of the Qingshan Sect knocked the Immortal Saber away, it flew toward an old monk...”
Then, the Yunhua Ancestor recounted everything that had transpired.
“You're saying that in the end, the Immortal Saber was taken by Ji Wuming of the Tianqi Dynasty!”
The Yunhua Ancestor nodded:
“After I entered the Xuanming Great World, I was immediately forced to mine. I only heard all of this from Ling Xiao of the Tiansheng Sect...”
The Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan nodded:
“How much do you know about that Xuanming Great World?”
Hearing the Yunhua Ancestor's description, the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan instantly felt that this Xuanming Great World was anything but simple.
If they could obtain the Xuanming Great World, it would absolutely be a highly profitable venture.
The Yunhua Ancestor then repeated the situation described by the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor, Ling Xiao.
“Then who won the Ghost Kings' war for supremacy?” the Third Elder of the Ancient God Clan asked after listening to the Yunhua Ancestor's explanation.
“I don't know! Ling Xiao said that the Tiansheng Sect Leader and Emperor Tianqi fled amidst the chaos back then! They don't know what happened after that either...”
