Chapter 119: The Reaction of the Sacred Lands

The Heavenly Tower of Legacy’s lord, who was mumbling, seemed to have lost his mind as he kept repeating the same conversations to himself.

Suddenly, a series of footsteps sounded.

“Lord, the head of the Wan Xiang Sect has come to our Heavenly Tower of Legacy. What do you think?”

The Heavenly Tower of Legacy’s lord looked up in puzzlement, his face filled with astonishment.

“The head of the Wan Xiang Sect has personally come to our Heavenly Tower of Legacy? He actually took the initiative to come here?”

The Wan Xiang Sect and Heavenly Tower of Legacy. One was good at observing the constellations and predicting the future, while the other was good at divining the heavenly legacy and strategizing.

The two basically only had competition and conflict.

In the Sacred Lands Alliance this time, they stood on one side and lost to the Hidden Edge Emperor together.

However, this was still not enough for the Wan Xiang Sect’s head to personally come to the Heavenly Tower of Legacy. That was too dangerous.

“What? Are you starting to become dispirited?”

When the sect master of the Heavenly Tower of Legacy and Wan Xiang Sect’s sect master met, the first thing he heard from the other party was this rhetorical question.

“I wonder what countermeasures you, Lu Zhongshan, have?”

The Heavenly Tower of Legacy’s sect master did not want to care about the other party’s ridicule. He only wanted to know if Wan Xiang Sect’s sect master had a way to deal with the current situation.

“Han Yu, have you ever thought about what kind of existence the Heavenly Mortal Giant Pillar is?”

“Of course it’s the only god in the Heavenly Mortal World. It’s an indomitable existence. Or do you have any other opinions?”

“I don’t have any other opinions. You’re right. The Giant Pillar is the only god in the Heavenly Mortal World. It’s very powerful. Even Emperors can’t compare to it.”

The Heavenly Tower of Legacy’s lord was a little impatient. “Lu Zhongshan, I’m not in the mood to listen to your nonsense!”

“It seems that the Hidden Edge Emperor’s restoration of the Giant Pillar has dealt a huge blow to you.”

After teasing him, the Lord of the Heavenly Tower of Legacy continued, “As a sacred ground, would your Heavenly Tower of Legacy bother with the requests of the second-rate sects?”

“What exactly do you want?”

“What I want to say is that the Heavenly Mortal Giant Pillar is a god after all. It’s high and mighty, so how could it bother with our struggles?”

The Heavenly Tower of Legacy’s lord seemed to have thought of something and fell silent.

Seeing that he was acting like an audience, the Wan Xiang sect master began to explain his thought process.

“The Giant Pillar has existed for too long. It has existed since the Heaven Mortal World was created. Such a powerful existence is proud and high and mighty.”

“Although the Hidden Edge Emperor has repaired it and helped it, he has at most gained some benefits.”

“That kind of existence will not interfere in our fights. It will only allow us to fight.”

“And we are just one step away from setting up the Emperor Artifact Formation, and greatly increasing our strength!”

The lord of the Heavenly Tower of Legacy stood up as well.

“You mean, we rely on the Emperor Artifact Formation to fight against the Hidden Edge Emperor? But can we win? Didn’t you see what he did today?”

Faced with such a question, Sect Master Wan Xiang appeared to be full of confidence.

“You fool, you came back without saying a word, and I even went to check on the situation of the formation.”

“According to my investigation, the power of the Emperor Artifact Formation has skyrocketed, and it’s at least twice as strong as what we’ve deduced!”

Hearing this, the Heavenly Tower of Legacy’s eyes revealed shock, “Are you serious?”

Without waiting for the other party to reply, he formed a seal with his hands and started to calculate with the help of the Heavenly Bell of Legacy’s power.

Soon, his face broke into an ecstatic expression though there were still many doubts.

“I know what you want to ask. The Giant Pillar is an existence that can support the heavens and earth. Its return has allowed the Heavenly Mortal World to start developing.”

“The laws of the entire world have become more solid and the concentration of spiritual energy has also become higher.”

“After all, the Emperor Weapon Array is an array that is rooted in the entire Heavenly Mortal World. When the overall level of the Heavenly Mortal World increases, the power of the array will naturally increase.”

The Heavenly Tower of Legacy’s lord, as a sacred lord, naturally understood these principles. However, he had been struck by too much and lost his spirit.

“So, our next move is to attack the Hidden Edge Emperor before he successfully creates the World Barrier?”

“Great minds think alike!”

Soon, they came up with their next strategy. They contacted the other sacred lands to appease them and discuss their plans.

Unfortunately, although the idea was good, it did not work well in practice.

Other than the forces that had already taken revenge on Ye Changge, such as the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, the Ten Ultimate Sword Sect, and the Hongwu Holy Dynasty, most of the sacred lands hesitated.

They were truly shocked.

Repairing the Giant Pillars was originally an impossible task.

However, the Hidden Edge Emperor had created a series of miracles and finally completed this task. Countless people were unable to accept this.

Most of them were hesitating.

Contrary to the expectations of the Heavenly Tower of Legacy and the Wan Xiang Sect, even the Heavenly Dao Academy did not follow them.

Mo Xunhuan was scared.

He was really scared.

After being taught a few lessons by Ye Changge, he realized his mistake.

The Heavenly Dao Academy could become an independent and neutral force due to the uniqueness of its own force.

If they could maintain the school motto, everything would be different.

Unfortunately, benefits had been attractive. The Heavenly Dao Academy had become more and more utilitarian during the changes of the past thousand years. It was no longer that respectable academy.

Yuan Shi, who had been locked up by the Hidden Edge Emperor, was released by Mo Xunhuan.

He gave Yuan Shi new control over the operation of the Heavenly Dao Academy.

This time, even the inner court of the Heavenly Dao Academy and the Mystic Realm, the Mountain of Books and the Sea of Learning, were handed over to him to manage, not to mention the outer court.

The elders of the Heavenly Dao Academy had no objections. The ancestor also supported Mo Xunhuan.

It was because they were all afraid.

They hoped that the Hidden Edge Emperor would see their changes. At the same time, they began to prepare to make amends.

Ye Changge had already ransacked the treasury. He then gathered a set of treasures and sent them to the Hidden Edge Sect as amends.

After all, Ye Changge still needed to set up a World Barrier. This was also a major matter that required materials.

Apart from the Heavenly Dao Academy, the Vast Sea Divine Church had also given up.

If it were not for the fact that they had already connected with the Emperor Weapon Array, they all wanted to take back the Emperor weapon, the Vast Sea Sinan, and seal the mountain gate, hoping to avoid the reckoning after autumn.

Li Yuanying sat in her room for a long time.

As time passed, she calmed down.

After putting down the idea of going against Ye Changge, she began to be able to think about the next plan seriously.

“That man is clearly an Emperor. Why does he still look so majestic when he stands in front of the Giant Pillar?”

“Lu Zhongshan and Han Yu even told me that the Giant Pillar is a god and won’t interfere. They said that the difference between the Hidden Edge Emperor and him is too big. It’s all nonsense.”

Li Yuanying recalled everything that had happened.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

“Could it be that the Hidden Edge Emperor isn’t actually the Hidden Edge Emperor, but the god of the Hidden Edge Sect instead? An existence comparable to the Giant Pillar of the Heavenly Mortal World?”

She recalled the scene from before and carefully analyzed every detail in a crazed state. She did not want to miss a single detail.

Hiss!

Suddenly, she sucked in a cold breath.

“The Hidden Edge Emperor completed the final step by stepping on the Giant Pillar?”

“Would the gods allow the Emperor to step on the stele?”
