The Heaven and Earth were silent, the mountains and rivers opened wide, and the oppressive clouds rolled in. Amidst the heavenly vault and clouds, the forces of the Three Religions were clearly divided. The three sect hierarchs exchanged glances from afar, and an exceedingly oppressive atmosphere began to breed between Heaven and Earth.
"Beiming, stop the futile struggle. Surrender what I want, it’s your best choice." The Tongming Sect Leader spoke coldly within the heavenly vault, his hands behind his back.
"I’ve said that our Beiming Sect does not have that item." The Beiming Sect Leader replied coldly.
"What a joke, whether you have it or not is sothing you know best. If you’re willing to risk the destruction of Beiming Sect to keep it, then my Tongming Sect shall accompany you to the end." The Tongming Sect Leader laughed coldly.
"Beiming, hand over that item. Otherwise, a prolonged battle benefits none of us Three Religions."
The Heavenly Maiden Sect Leader was a beauty of incomparable grace, her white immortal robe matched her extraordinary looks, making her a rare exquisite beauty. However, her face was cold as ice, akin to a thousand-year-old cold mountain that none could approach.
"Hahaha."
Faced with the threats of the two sect leaders, the Beiming Sect Leader laughed wildly: "Even if it were in my hands, which it isn’t, our Beiming Sect is not easily bullied. How could we allow ourselves to be at your rcy?"
"Humph, stubborn resistance!"
The Tongming Sect Leader sneered and ignored the Beiming Sect Leader, then looked deeply towards the Heavenly Gate ahead.
"Such airs from this Ye Sect Leader."
The Heavenly Maiden Sect Leader frowned slightly, also looking towards the Heavenly Gate, for they had co to pay respects to this Ye Great Sect Leader, who was also the master of the Northern Territory Heavenly Court.
Yet the three sect leaders had waited here for a long ti without Ye Xuan summoning them, which made them extrely displeased.
"Had it not been for the Three Religions’ disputes, how could the Northern Territory Heavenly Court rise amid the chaos? Now here you are, seeking help — you should show the deanor of a supplicant. If you dare, leave now." The Beiming Sect Leader sneered sarcastically.
Ten thousand years of conquest had exhausted the resources of the Three Religions, with several elders dead and countless disciples injured or killed.
Moreover, the Three Religions fought among themselves, yet none could overpower the others, and no one dared to go all out for fear of becoming prey for another.
If two sects fought to the death, the third would sit back and watch the tigers fight. Hence, no matter how intense the battle, all three sects held back, prolonging the Three Religions war for many years.
At this mont, the three sect leaders personally ca to visit Ye Xuan, intending to break the deadlock. With Ye Xuan’s support, they could secure a significant advantage.
"My sect leader invites the Tongming Sect Leader inside."
A portly man floated over, first offering a salute to the Tongming Sect Leader, which made the Tongming Sect Leader’s eyes light up and his mouth curl into a smile of approval.
"Hahaha, I have long been friends with Ye Sect Leader. Today, we shall drink and discuss the Dao, not to part until drunk."
The Tongming Sect Leader laughed freely, intentionally provoking the two sect leaders, then strode into the Northern Territory Heavenly Court. This truly darkened the faces of the Beiming Sect Leader and the Heavenly Maiden Sect Leader.
Yet today they ca with requests, thus naturally could not express any dissatisfaction and could only wait patiently outside the mountain gate, but in their hearts, they resented Ye Xuan already.
The dignified three overlords of the Northern Territory could shake the realm with a stomp. Yet today, they were reduced to humbly waiting outside, a disparity that made the two sect leaders feel extrely frustrated.
...
On Snow Bamboo Peak.
A stone table, four stone stools, a pot of clear wine, and nothing else!
Ye Xuan sat serenely within, occasionally sipping from his cup, exuding an air of tranquility like a peaceful cloud.
"It’s been years since we last t, Daoist. Your aura has grown even more transcendent. I am far inferior to you, Daoist."
The Tongming Sect Leader laughed heartily as he approached Ye Xuan, followed by a veiled woman in black, clad in the Tongming Sect’s magic robe, displaying no cultivation yet walking shoulder to shoulder with the Tongming Sect Leader, proving her notable status in the Tongming Sect.
"Please take a seat, Tongming Daoist." Ye Xuan said with a slight smile, but he did not rise to greet him, remaining seated. This made the Tongming Sect Leader frown briefly but quickly relax, his smile growing more amicable as if they were truly old friends.
"Co, let introduce you. This is my junior sister, also the Holy Maiden of Tongming Sect. She has opened the third heavenly gate, no less than myself."
The Tongming Sect Leader warmly introduced the veiled woman, who gracefully stepped forward, hands in prayer, and greeted Ye Xuan: "I’ve heard so much about Ye Sect Leader’s earth-shattering cultivation, establishing a great sect. eting you today, you indeed live up to your reputation."
"Daoist, you’re joking. I’m rely at the Unity Realm Stage, hardly deserving of such praise." Ye Xuan replied with a slight smile.
"Ye Sect Leader is too modest. With your cultivation, even if I have opened the third heavenly gate, I may not be your match. My brother, Tongming, greatly admires you. A small gift from us, please accept, Ye Sect Leader."
The Tongming Holy Maiden’s expression remained hidden behind her veil, but her words were filled with complints, placing a brocade box on the stone table.
"You’re too kind, Daoists." Ye Xuan smiled faintly, showing no interest in opening the box, as if indifferent to the gift inside.
"Ye Daoist, aren’t you curious about what’s inside the brocade box?" Seeing that Ye Xuan had no intention of opening the box, the Tongming Sect Leader’s eyes moved slightly.
"Oh?"
Ye Xuan feigned surprise: "It seems the gift inside the box is incredibly precious. I must take a look."
Speaking, Ye Xuan gently opened the box a crack. Instantly, a beam of treasure light shot out, accompanied by sounds of auspicious phenona in Heaven and Earth. The treasure light was overwhelming, and the re fragrance invigorated one’s spirit, rapidly boosting the blood within.
"Xuansha Nine Divine Pills, this elixir is a powerful dicine. Those in the Wendao Three Realm who consu it can advance one realm; those at the Unity Realm Stage can greatly enhance their cultivation with a twenty percent chance of encountering the Immortal Divine Tribulation. Our Tongming Sect possesses only two pills; my junior sister took one, and today I bestow the other to you, Daoist." The Tongming Sect Leader passionately introduced, consistently monitoring Ye Xuan’s face.
The Tongming Sect Leader believed Ye Xuan could not refuse such a gift, knowing its extre preciousness and being one of Tongming Sect’s treasures, offering unimaginable benefits to those in the Wendao Three Realm — it was invaluable to Ye Xuan.
Unfortunately, the Tongming Sect Leader was ultimately disappointed, his smile slowly fading as Ye Xuan calmly closed the box, displaying a peaceful expression as if he had dismissed the Xuansha Nine Divine Pills entirely.
"Thank you, Daoist, for your generosity."
Ye Xuan smiled faintly at the Tongming Sect Leader, then gently waved his hand, saying: "Co, take the gift."
