"Are you trying to make help you kill this Water Elent Venerable?" Zi Ling frowned slightly.
"I wouldn’t dare presu, sister. Actually, I’m gathering the Chaos Five Elents Bead to return to the Nine Heavens Saint King Realm. I’ve already found the other four, only this last Water Spirit Pearl is missing. If you don’t help , sister, I don’t know when I’ll be able to cultivate back to the Nine Heavens Saint King Realm." Ye Xuan sighed purposefully.
"Little brother, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. You should know that the Undying Heavenly Palace stays above mundane affairs, and doesn’t interfere with us at the Spirits Heavenly Palace. Though we manage the Tenth Epoch, the Heavenly Lord has instructed us not to cause conflicts with the nine Supre Daoist sects." Zi Ling explained with a troubled expression.
"Sister, you misunderstand. I only wish to obtain this Water Spirit Pearl, not to incur enmity with the Undying Heavenly Palace. With your cultivation and status, sister, I’m sure the Water Elent Venerable would give you this face." Ye Xuan spoke softly.
After all, as the saying goes, one must be soft-spoken after receiving favors, and while Zi Ling had so concerns, she couldn’t outright refuse Ye Xuan’s earnest plea.
Besides, it was simply a matter of requesting a Water Spirit Pearl, which Zi Ling didn’t find difficult to handle.
"Alright, I’ll accompany you to the Undying Sub-Hall, but we must not resort to violence; you must rember this." Zi Ling finally agreed, but did not forget to advise Ye Xuan.
"Thank you, sister. Little brother will surely rember your kindness." Ye Xuan feigned a smile, thanking Zi Ling repeatedly. Whether violence would occur wasn’t entirely up to Zi Ling.
...
Undying Sub-Hall!
The Water Elent Venerable sat at the main seat, the eight Elders stood to the sides, and many disciples bowed below. The entire sub-hall was exceptionally quiet.
"Now the Spirits Sub-Hall is becoming more over the top, daring even to co to our Hall Master for the Chaos Water Spirit Pearl." The Water Elent Venerable spoke coldly.
"The Hall Master sees wisely; the Spirits Heavenly Palace is at its zenith, they manage the Tenth Epoch, so their actions have no restraints, which is expected." An Elder spoke tily.
"Hmph."
The Water Elent Venerable snorted coldly: "Once, our Undying Heavenly Palace held an epoch. The Undying Heavenly Lord suppressed ancient chaos. Even though today is not the era ruled by the Undying Heavenly Lord, our Undying Heavenly Palace is not easily trifled with."
As the words of the Water Elent Venerable fell, everyone present echoed in agreent, not holding the Spirits Heavenly Palace in much regard.
To be blunt, the history of the Spirits Heavenly Palace is rely over a hundred million years, while the Undying Heavenly Palace has survived multiple epochs. Even among the Ten Supre Powers, it ranks in the top five.
Therefore, truly speaking, the Undying Heavenly Palace is much stronger than the Spirits Heavenly Palace. But for so reason, the Nine great ancient supres have decreed that disciples within their sect should not start wars with those managing epochs.
For instance, once the Tenth Epoch is over and the Spirits Heavenly Palace’s rule ends, when a new epoch begins, the Lord of Spirits will decree that his sect retreat from the Chaos Great World stage, waiting for the next ancient supre to erge, to lead a new epoch.
This is a rule, a rule known to the ten Daoist sects. As for why this rule exists, no one understands, but the decree of the ancient supre cannot be defied.
Although the ten Daoist sects won’t engage in intense conflict, they still compete for the ancient supre seat of the next epoch, which is an unchanging pattern in the Chaos Great World and silently approved by the ancient supres.
This generation’s Undying Heavenly Palace is also teeming with talents, its trained Divine Son is extrely formidable, rumored to have entered the Yin Yang Realm and is a popular candidate for the next epoch’s ancient supre seat.
"Report!"
Just as the Water Elent Venerable and others were talking, a disciple quickly entered the Undying Sub-Hall, showing a panicked expression.
"Why so frantic?" The Water Elent Venerable frowned.
"Reporting to the Hall Master, persons from the Spirits Sub-Hall have arrived, waiting outside right now." This disciple exclaid in haste.
"Hmph!"
The Water Elent Venerable’s expression turned cold: "Just gave them a little lesson, yet they can’t retreat and co back again. These people from the Spirits Heavenly Palace are truly arrogant."
"Did they reveal their nas?" An Elder asked.
"One claid to be the Ninth Spirit Child, and the other was a woman, seed to be called Zi Ling." The disciple quickly answered.
"What?"
The Water Elent Venerable’s expression changed dramatically; he stood up with a shock, his face filled with awe, his whole aura instantly heavy.
"Zi Ling?"
The Water Elent Venerable’s expression turned grave, utterly convinced that the one nad Zi Ling in the Spirits Heavenly Palace is undoubtedly that terrifying woman.
Zi Ling is the maid beside the Lord of Spirits, not a secret among the various Great Sects. The Water Elent Venerable never expected her to co to the Southern Dipper Domain, let alone personally visit the Undying Sub-Hall.
However, the Water Elent Venerable was not very fearful, for he was backed by the Undying Heavenly Palace. Even if Zi Ling’s cultivation grasps a Great Realm higher than his, she wouldn’t dare to act wild in the Undying Sub-Hall.
"Fine, let et this Zi Ling Holy Envoy."
The Water Elent Venerable spoke deeply, striding toward the exit of the Undying Sub-Hall, with the Elders and disciples quickly following.
The so-called foundation of a Great Sect is such that even when facing a powerful enemy, they show no hint of fear, which is the terrifying aspect of the once Nine Supre Daoist sects.
Outside.
Ye Xuan and Zi Ling stood side by side, conversing with smiles. Naturally, it was Ye Xuan who spoke, continuously flattering Zi Ling, even making Zi Ling occasionally laugh, appearing extrely pleased.
Ye Xuan’s character is ruthless to achieve his goals; without absolute power, he uses everything available to realize his objectives, including lowering his stature when necessary.
"Hahaha."
"Always heard of Holy Envoy Zi Ling’s fa across the Central Domain, and the sight truly lives up to the reputation."
Suddenly, laughter rang out, and the Water Elent Venerable brought the Elders toward Ye Xuan and Zi Ling, arriving before them within monts.
"You are the Water Elent Venerable?"
Zi Ling’s smile vanished, her deanor returned to arrogance.
Clearly, Zi Ling could laugh with Ye Xuan because she considered him one of her own. But to outsiders, she was the Holy Envoy of the Spirits Heavenly Palace, and naturally held her pride.
"I am Water Elent. Pleased to et Daoist Zi Ling." Water Elent Venerable was neither humble nor arrogant, slightly cupping hands as a greeting to Zi Ling.
Though his cultivation wasn’t as high as Zi Ling’s, he represented the Undying Heavenly Palace. Showing any humility would disgrace the palace.
Zi Ling didn’t mind Water Elent Venerable’s attitude, as he belonged to the Undying Heavenly Palace. Both stood on a similar high ground, and she was there rely to help Ye Xuan request the Water Spirit Pearl, not to create trouble.
