Chapter 906 Coming Together
Recently, there really had been rumors of news concerning the Divine Sun Emperor’s treasures. It was said that the treasures included the Divine Sun Emperor’s legacy and that it had appeared for the preparation against the seventh onslaught.
The treasures were split into seven parts, and the seven treasuries each had the treasures that were left behind by the Divine Sun Emperor. However, only one of the parts was real, and it possessed the Divine Sun Emperor’s legacy.
Who was the Divine Sun Emperor? He was the first person who unified the entire world, and he led the world in gathering heavenly and earthly resources and facing the second onslaught. It was said that he was an existence that had attained a breakthrough to tier nine of the Divine level and was like a legendary character.
Who would not be interested in the treasures and legacy left behind by such a legendary character? Even if this piece of news could be fake...
No matter how rational the individual was, it would be hard for them to keep their cool when faced with such great temptation. After getting to know this piece of news, an individual would not be able to help but let their imagination run wild regardless of how weak they were. What if they happened to come across a fortunate encounter and thus obtained the treasures?
The entire world started to seethe, and even the news of the Empire’s chaotic state and Fang Xingjian shocking the entire southern region were outdone by this piece of news.
Although people knew that this piece of news might be fake, countless people started making a move for that tiniest possibility.
Right now, numerous influences and martial arts practitioners across the land were feeling excited over the Divine Sun Emperor’s seven treasuries.
Of course, the Empire’s upper echelon had also gotten wind of this piece of news from a long time ago.
Ferdinand said, "According to the rumors, out of the seven treasuries, one of them is situated in the Empire, one in the desert, one in the plains, and the remaining four are all in the north."
"Have you sent people to investigate?" Fang Xingjian let out a cold snort and said, "There’s clearly someone pushing this. If someone really were to find out about the Divine Sun Emperor’s treasures, how could they possibly reveal this?"
Ferdinand let out a bitter laugh and said, "It’s a pity that it’s hard for people to remain rational when facing such temptations. A commotion has run through the entire world, and countless people have gone out in search of these seven treasuries. We’ve also sent people to head to the treasuries in the Empire, desert, and plains. However, most of the people did not find them, and a small group of people has gone missing."
"Oh?" Fang Xingjian asked in surprise, "Gone missing?"
"That’s right. Those treasuries seem to exist in another space. In the same area, some people can find them while others can’t," Ferdinand explained with a frown. "Many of the people who found the treasuries disappeared, but there are also people who reappeared. These people lost the memories of the time they spent inside, yet their martial arts improved tremendously."
Fang Xingjian smiled coldly. "If that’s the case, then more people would want to enter."
"It’s true," Ferdinand said. "Do you want to get Tyrant and the others to go and check it out?"
With Fang Xingjian’s current status, it was impossible for him to investigate such matters personally. Fang Xingjian was not even willing to send Divine level experts to investigate the matter. After all, he felt that there was a 99% chance that the news was fake.
Moreover, he already had another thought.
While everyone’s attention was on the rumors of the Divine Sun Emperor’s seven treasuries, this would be a good opportunity to do some things.
Thinking of this, he wondered if the person who came up with this news was also trying to attract everyone’s attention elsewhere and then taking the opportunity to do something else?
The thing that Fang Xingjian wanted to do was let the Divine level experts under him use the Double Moons Projection method to clear the Nine-Tiered Heavens while everyone else’s attention was elsewhere. He wanted to get his subordinates to advance secretly, becoming a lot stronger within a short period of time.
Only with this would he then be able to leave with a peace of mind and strive for tier six of the Divine level.
Therefore, over the next few days, Fang Xingjian gathered Tyrant, Prince Philip, the Fourth Prince, Lan Yue, the Blue Sacred Moonlight, and the Astral Ancestor in the Imperial Capital.
There were other Divine level experts, such as the First Prince who was under confinement, the Sacred Fire Order’s Patriarch who had been sent to exploit the desert, as well as Prince Zuoxian who was temporarily staying in the Imperial Capital while he was recovering. After all, Prince Zuoxian had 99% of his powers wiped out by Fang Xingjian and had yet to recover completely till now. Otherwise, with Prince Zuoxian taking charge of the plains, the plains would not be in such a chaotic state.
Of course, keeping Prince Zuoxian in the Imperial Capital—thereby causing the plains to enter a state of chaos—was Fang Xingjian’s first step in invading the plains and killing their warriors.
Although these people were all Divine level experts and had also become Fang Xingjian’s subordinates in name, they had not gained Fang Xingjian’s trust. Therefore, Fang Xingjian would not provide them with the Double Moons Projection method.
Over the next few days, the six Divine level experts partnered up and started to familiarize themselves with the Double Moons Projection technique. Tyrant and Prince Philip were both tier three Divine level experts, so they teamed up together. The Blue Sacred Moonlight and the Astral Ancestor were both tier three Divine level experts as well and formed another pair.
Lan Yue and the Fourth Prince had both just stepped into tier two of the Divine level and formed one pair.
The six of them formed three pairs, and Fang Xingjian hoped that they could make further progression through the Double Moons Projection technique.
After they had taken a few days to get accustomed to the technique, Fang Xingjian split out a clone, crossed the sky, and arrived in the sky above the Beize Region’s Wolf’s Howl Mountain at light speed.
Today was the day that the Immortality Saint and Fang Xingjian had agreed to meet.
The Wolf’s Howl Mountain was a lone mountain at the borders of a stretch of plains. It stood by itself amidst a vast stretch of land, just like a wild wolf howling at the sky.
The cliffs were all bare, with almost no plants growing on them at all.
At the peak of the cliff on the Wolf’s Howl Mountain, a man in white robes stood there quietly. His white robes were covered in golden runes. Each rune kept on twisting and changing like the words in a book were alive and moving. It seemed to record all sorts of mysterious in the world.
The man seemed to be in his thirties. He had a handsome appearance and was very elegant, giving off a feeling like he was a charming scholar.
Light and shadow flickered behind the man’s back, and Fang Xingjian gradually stepped out from the spatial gaps.
If the man in white robes was said to be like a charming scholar, suave and elegant...
Then Fang Xingjian, who was dressed in loosely-fitted black robes, was like the temptation of a demon. His pale skin and bright red lips seemed to contain a demonic charm, enticing everything in the world to pounce toward him.
Upon seeing Fang Xingjian, the man’s gaze could not help but light up. "What an amazing Heart Sword."
"The Immortality Saint?" Fang Xingjian’s martial will collided with the other party in midair and he said calmly, "Why are you looking for me?"
The Immortality Saint took a long look at Fang Xingjian before saying, "Such resemblance... Such great resemblance..."
"You mean with the previous Pope?" Fang Xingjian asked.
"That’s right. You have a 80% to 90% resemblance with the previous Pope. However, the two of you have completely different dispositions," the Immortality Saint said with a sigh. "Do you know why the Phenomenal Saint and Oceansky Saint think that you’re born from a demonic fetus?"
Fang Xingjian asked, "Why?"
"It’s because they are afraid that you’ll return to seize their things," the Immortality Saint answered. "20 years ago, before the previous Pope disappeared, he split the Church’s strongest Divine Remains Equipment into three parts and handed a part each to the three of us—me, the Phenomenal Saint, and the Oceansky Saint..."
