Shiqi Ding Tian imdiately said to the others, "All of you, into the main hall. Don't interfere with Master Xu interrogating him!"
Everyone headed toward the main hall one after another, but Hodoka Moyo walked toward Xu Hao instead.
Shiqi Ding Tian opened his mouth, but in the end didn't stop her. After all, she was soone Xu Hao had brought, so she was definitely trustworthy.
"Twenty seconds. You have ten seconds left." Xu Hao said coolly.
Aoki Kiyosuke's mind trembled violently. After struggling fiercely inside, he said, "If I tell you, but you still refuse to let go, what am I supposed to do?"
"Don't worry, I'll let you go." Xu Hao said lightly.
"Alright, then I'll talk!"
With no other choice at this point, Aoki Kiyosuke could only pin his hopes on Xu Hao keeping his word. "Our Dazhao Sect is a very ancient sect. The faith in the Great Illuminator God has been passed down far longer than the faith in Yamata no Orochi…"
"I know that. Hit the key points." Xu Hao snapped coldly.
Aoki Kiyosuke was so startled he jumped, and hurriedly said, "Master Xu, I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything. I'm one of the Eight Great Protectors of the main sect, and what I'm best at is the Shadow Evasion Technique—of course, my Shadow Evasion Technique is nothing worth ntioning in front of you."
When he recalled the speed Xu Hao had just displayed, he couldn't help but feel a chilling fear.
Others all felt his speed was sothing a human shouldn't possess, but he felt that Xu Hao's speed was what humans absolutely shouldn't be able to possess!
It was downright monstrous!
Seeing the cold, sharp look in Xu Hao's eyes, he instantly gave up the idea of flattering him and continued, "As one of the Eight Great Protectors, I'm qualified to enter the first and second floors of the Dazhao Sect's Scripture Pavilion, but I'm not qualified to enter the third floor. However, the secret I'm talking about is on that third floor.
"Once, the Formation at the main sect had a brief malfunction. I took the chance to slip into the third floor, and there I obtained a piece of information that shocked beyond words—the Great Illuminator God is going to be resurrected!"
"Resurrected? The Great Illuminator God is nothing but a Sun faith. She's never shown up in the real world. Where is she supposed to resurrect?" Xu Hao said in puzzlent.
Based on what he knew, during the Era of the Gods there had never been any information about the Great Illuminator God here in Dongying. He could practically assu this Great Illuminator God didn't exist.
Because in the era after the Era of the Gods, there had likewise never been any record of the Great Illuminator God "manifesting." At most, it was just that her believers prostrated themselves devoutly before her.
But now, Aoki Kiyosuke was saying that the Great Illuminator God would actually be resurrected. How could that not astonish Xu Hao?
Aoki Kiyosuke suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Master Xu, I suspect that the reason all records about the Great Illuminator God have been cut off might be sothing Yamata no Orochi knows!"
Xu Hao's expression froze for a mont as he said, "I understand. You're saying Yamata no Orochi destroyed all information regarding the Great Illuminator God's existence?"
"Exactly!"
Aoki Kiyosuke imdiately replied firmly, "This is only my speculation, but I think it's extrely likely. As the saying goes, 'With a new emperor co new ministers.' Ever since Yamata no Orochi seized the faith high ground of the Dongying people, it has wiped out the faiths of all other deities. The few beliefs that still remain are no more than clinging on by a thread."
Xu Hao fell into ditation.
What Aoki Kiyosuke said was not without reason.
From his brief contact with Yamata no Orochi, Xu Hao had already sensed that this thing's ambition was imnse.
It didn't seem satisfied with the worship of Dongying's hundred and eighty million people; instead, it wanted to gain the worship of even more people.
But what benefit was there in gaining people's worship, that it could draw such favor from Yamata no Orochi?
Xu Hao couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it. He slowly shook his head and said, "That piece of information is acceptable, but it's not enough for to let you go. Give another heavyweight piece of news."
"I…" Aoki Kiyosuke was stunned on the spot.
Even a piece of news this important wasn't enough to satisfy Xu Hao?
He imdiately said, "I…I, forget it, I'll tell you another important thing I know."
He sighed and said, "One of the Sword Saint's servants is an old acquaintance of mine. When he was chatting idly with , he said that at the Sword Saint's residence there is a Peerless Sword."
"A Peerless Sword? Better than my Fengyi Sword?" Xu Hao chuckled lightly.
"That I don't know. But he told with absolute certainty that the sword is located in a Sword Tomb, with many swords gathered around it as if they were treating it as their king and paying court to it. I heard that he once personally experienced that sword releasing a powerful Energy—he could feel it even from over a thousand ters away." Aoki Kiyosuke said.
"Treated as king and paid court to? A Sword Tomb? Could it be to nourish a sword with swords?" Xu Hao said hesitantly.
Nourishing a sword with swords ant creating a Sword Tomb, burying countless fine swords within it, and placing the best sword in the very center. Using all those swords' edge and sharpness to nourish it, making it grow stronger and stronger.
This was a very mysterious thod. People had certainly tried it throughout the ages, but to this day Xu Hao didn't know of anyone who had succeeded.
The success rate of this thod was extrely low. Many people even felt that it was nothing more than a purely theoretical thod, fundantally impossible to succeed.
