The siege of rak Palace by the Three Major Sects had finally co to an end. The news spread quickly, shocking all the powers in the region!
A First-Grade Faction had actually wiped out the forces sent by three sects—and the three Sect Masters, no less!
With the three Sect Masters dead, what could possibly be left in those sects? Only a group of the younger generation remained. As for what other power they still held, no one knew. However, the foundations of the Three Major Sects were definitely not as simple as one might imagine.
「In rak Palace’s conference hall.」
"I want to make Tianyun an elder. Does anyone have any objections?"
Shi Xueyun glanced at the crowd. Seated before her were the elders and deacons. They all sat there with solemn expressions.
"No objections."
Everyone nodded, indicating they had no objections. Yi Tianyun had saved all of rak Palace this ti, and his cultivation was so heaven-defying that even Shi Xueyun couldn’t compare. Even if it ant breaking the rules, they had to make Yi Tianyun an elder.
"I have an objection."
Everyone looked up, only to find that the one who had spoken was Yi Tianyun himself!
"Palace Master, I think it’s better for to remain an Outer Disciple. We can’t break the rules. I think being an Outer Disciple is perfectly fine, and besides, I’m not good at managing the palace’s affairs."
Yi Tianyun had been wondering what they had gathered to discuss. He never expected the first order of business would be making him an elder.
’Being an elder is no easy job. There are so many things to handle, and I really don’t want to get involved.’
"You have to do it. There’s no such thing as ’breaking the rules.’ Rules are rigid, but people are flexible; we just need to make a small change. You won’t have to manage anything. We just need to prove that you are one of us, a representative of rak Palace! You think I don’t know what you’re capable of? If I let you manage things, rak Palace would have collapsed long ago!" Shi Xueyun rolled her eyes at him. From the very beginning, she never had any intention of letting Yi Tianyun manage anything.
The other elders all nodded. They wouldn’t feel at ease letting Yi Tianyun manage rak Palace’s other affairs either!
"But..."
When Yi Tianyun saw Shi Xueyun glaring at him, he instantly deflated and said helplessly, "Fine, then. I’ll take the position of elder."
The surrounding disciples couldn’t help but chuckle. Others would kill to beco an elder, yet here he was, trying to refuse.
"Good. Then on to the second matter. This ti, we eliminated the Sect Masters of the Three Major Sects. Those old fossils will definitely make a move. Although Celestial Phoenix Tower isn’t a major sect, its foundation is nothing to scoff at. I’ve heard they’re in league with the Divine Forging Sect. I’m certain they won’t let this go."
Shi Xueyun said gravely, "Therefore, we must prepare for battle. From the very beginning, they’ve been eyeing our Treasure. They kept finding all sorts of excuses to attack us, but in the end, what they really want is to seize our Treasure of the Palace!"
’Treasure of the Palace?’
Yi Tianyun was taken aback. He had no idea what it was, but he didn’t ask. ’It has nothing to do with , anyway.’
"The third matter concerns the Treasure of the Palace. I intend to hand it over to Tianyun for his use. Does anyone have any objections?" Shi Xueyun said suddenly.
Yi Tianyun was stunned. ’Why is she suddenly giving it to ?’
"Palace Master, that is absolutely out of the question! The Treasure of the Palace has always been sothing only the Palace Master can use. This would clearly be against the rules." The Great Elder imdiately stood up. She hadn’t objected to the other matters, but this was different.
Although Yi Tianyun had beco an elder, he was theoretically still an outsider. The Palace Master was the most qualified to use it.
"He is stronger than I am. Logically, if he were to use it, its effects would undoubtedly be much greater."
Shi Xueyun said, "If the Three Major Sects attack again, his use of it will surely produce miraculous results!"
The elders fell silent. What she said was true. They had all witnessed Yi Tianyun’s power, so they really couldn’t voice any objections.
"Wait, what kind of Treasure is this?" Yi Tianyun raised his hand. They had been talking about it for a while, yet he still didn’t know what this Treasure of the Palace was.
"This is it."
Shi Xueyun took out a Jade Pendant. A faint, cold aura emanated from it. The mont she brought it out, everyone felt a chill. The extre coldness was a testant to the object’s extraordinary nature.
"This is..."
Yi Tianyun narrowed his eyes, and its detailed stats imdiately appeared before him.
Cold Ice Soul Jade: Calms the soul and focuses the mind, increasing cultivation speed. When used, it can create a Frozen domain, freezing everything in the vicinity. Grade: Mid-grade Soul Artifact.
’A Mid-grade Soul Artifact. No wonder it’s called the Treasure of the Palace. It’s certainly worthy of the title.’
Yi Tianyun nodded, but he wasn’t particularly interested. Shi Xueyun had undoubtedly offered it to him because she believed that if he were to unleash its Frozen domain, the effect would be even more astonishing.
"This is the Cold Ice Soul Jade. Not only will it help your cultivation, but it can also produce a freezing effect. What you used before was Frozen Martial Arts, right? If you pair it with this, the results will surely be miraculous," Shi Xueyun said with a smile.
She was willing to give it away just like that, with no intention of keeping it for herself. After all, it could increase one’s cultivation speed; it was definitely a good item.
"Palace Master, there’s no need. To be honest, this is useless to . You should keep it."
Yi Tianyun said seriously, "Besides, in terms of constitution, you, Palace Master, have an Ice Constitution, which makes it far more suitable for you. I don’t have one, so it’s not a good fit for ."
"Take it!" Shi Xueyun was as domineering as ever.
"I won’t!" Yi Tianyun was just as stubborn.
Shi Xueyun was headstrong, and so was Yi Tianyun. Seeing the determined look in his eyes, Shi Xueyun finally sighed. "Fine. I’ll keep it, then."
Only then did the elders breathe a sigh of relief. Thank goodness it hadn’t fallen into Yi Tianyun’s hands.
They treated it like a priceless treasure, but Yi Tianyun didn’t see it that way. ’It’s just a Mid-grade Soul Artifact. I already have three Soul Artifacts. They may not be Mid-grade, but they’re Soul Artifacts nonetheless!’
"Now, for the fourth matter: the Celestial Sinking Ruins. As you all saw, we killed mbers of two of the major sects and obtained seven Tokens. This ans we have seven additional spots for the trial. In less than a week, it will be ti to go. We will now select eight outstanding disciples to enter the trial at the Celestial Sinking Ruins!" A smile appeared on Shi Xueyun’s face. The trial at the Celestial Sinking Ruins was an excellent opportunity; those who erged were guaranteed to have a major breakthrough.
"Select eight new disciples?" Yi Tianyun froze. "What about ?"
The elders gave him a strange look. Then, Shi Xueyun smiled and said, "You can’t go. You’re already at the Core Formation Stage; there’s no way you can enter. The Celestial Sinking Ruins only allows cultivators at the Spirit Refining Stage or below. Anyone above that level can’t get in."
’If I can’t get in, how am I supposed to complete the main quest!’
Yi Tianyun was dumbfounded. He never thought there would be a level restriction. His own level was off the charts; how was he supposed to get in now?
