Capítulo 1478: Chapter 1453: Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice Altar
“What do you mean?”
The Red Sun Palace Master looked at Master Mingyue, bewildered.
The two brothers jointly controlled the Sun and Moon Palace. All along, when it came to external battles and conflicts, the Red Sun Palace Master took the lead, while Master Mingyue often stayed behind, strategizing and offering counsel.
Only when faced with opponents that the Red Sun Palace Master could not handle would they team up for an assault.
Over the long years.
They had become accustomed to this mode of operation.
Upon hearing that Master Mingyue had other plans for Tongtian, he suppressed the ruthless killing intent within.
With a mysterious smile, Master Mingyue said, “Although our Sun and Moon Palace has reemerged in the world, for so many years, whether it’s you, me, or Yang Yi and the others, we’ve been hovering in the void, not very familiar with the Qingtian Realm. Yet Tongtian survived from the Hall of Longevity period to now, and he is more familiar with everything that has happened in the Qingtian Realm over the millennia!”
“Second brother, you want him to help us find that thing?” The Red Sun Palace Master immediately understood, his eyes lighting up as he asked.
Master Mingyue nodded, “Indeed, such a fence-sitter is worse than pigs and dogs, it makes one hate till they wish to tear him to shreds. Yet such a person is also the easiest to control. As long as he’s well-groomed, isn’t having another loyal dog willing to serve us a good thing?”
The Red Sun Palace Master laughed heartily, “Exactly, it’s just nurturing a dog. As long as he is obedient, we can give him some benefits.” He paused and looked at Yang Yi, “Yang Yi, go and bring in the so-called Alliance Hierarch of the Sky-reaching Alliance!”
“Yes!”
Yang Yi immediately left.
A moment later.
The anxious Tongtian was invited in.
“Tongtian pays respect to the two Palace Masters!” In front of the Masters of Sun and Moon Palace, Tongtian dared not even pretend, speaking with complete reverence.
The Red Sun Palace Master and Master Mingyue exchanged glances.
With a slight nod, Master Mingyue signaled for the Red Sun Palace Master not to speak, and said in a deep voice, “You are the Alliance Hierarch of the Sky-reaching Alliance?”
“Indeed, it is I!”
Tongtian quickly responded.
Master Mingyue acknowledged with a hum and leaned slightly forward, “According to what Yue Yi and the others said, our Sun and Moon Palace’s Elder Yue Qi died at the hands of the Sky-reaching Alliance?”
“No, no, no, Master Mingyue, you see clearly, please do not believe the rumors. Elder Yue Qi was not killed by my Sky-reaching Alliance, but was slain by the former Alliance Leader’s wife of the Azure Sky Alliance using a formation. This has nothing to do with this humble one at all!” Tongtian said with a face full of grievance.
Cold sweat as large as beans was rolling down his forehead.
A trace of disdain flashed in Master Mingyue’s eyes, and he said lightly, “Is that so? But the message I received was that the Azure Sky Alliance is the predecessor of your Sky-reaching Alliance. How can I trust that you didn’t deliberately change your name to distance yourself?”
“Reporting to the Palace Masters, this humble one is truly wronged. The two Palace Masters are wise and discerning, how would I dare to utter even a half-truth in front of you?”
This time, Tongtian used every bit of his lifelong sycophancy, “The one responsible for Elder Yue Qi’s death was really Fang Qingzhu, but this humble one is weak and unable to avenge Elder Yue Qi. However, I have done my utmost, having already driven all remnants of the Azure Sky Alliance away, forcing them into an extraterritorial battleground!”
“Oh?”
Master Mingyue responded with a meaningful “Oh,” casting a sidelong glance at Yue Yi.
Yue Yi nodded slightly, indicating that Tongtian was not lying.
Only then did Master Mingyue continue, “If that’s the case, then I have wronged you. Alliance Leader Tongtian, earlier you mentioned important intelligence regarding the Mysterious Realm, what might it be?”
Tongtian secretly breathed a sigh of relief: it seems they don’t know about my secret contact with the Mysterious Realm!
His biggest worry was that the Sun and Moon Palace knew of his dealings with the Mysterious Realm.
It seems now that they are unaware.
Privately marveling at the soundness of his decision, Tongtian spoke in a deep voice, “I have received information that the Clan Leader of the Martial Clan in the Mysterious Realm, Zhao Wudi, is the son of Zhao Wuji. He is now beyond the Sacred Venerate Realm, and it is said he has ventured far into that supreme domain. I fear the two Palace Masters may be caught off guard and might suffer a loss against the Mysterious Realm; thus, I have come to share this news with you both…”
“Beyond the Sacred Venerate Realm?”
“The son of that bastard Zhao Wuji?”
“Damn it, what kind of luck is this Martial Clan blessed with? In the Qingtian Realm where the Heavenly Dao is incomplete, they actually managed to break through to the Saint King Realm?”
A crowd of strongmen in the Sun and Moon Palace looked at each other, all wearing terribly grim expressions.
Especially the Red Sun Palace Master and Master Mingyue.
The two exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
To know…
After the Hall of Longevity ruled the Qingtian Realm years ago.
They worried that the native creatures of the Qingtian Realm would rise, thus affecting their rule over the Qingtian Realm. They also feared the creatures of the Qingtian Realm might become too powerful, discovering that treasure and claiming it.
So, immense measures were taken to strip away a portion of the Heavenly Dao in the Qingtian Realm.
Making it so that the creatures of the Qingtian Realm had to rely on the Hall of Longevity’s refined Longevity Spirits to step into the Longevity Secret Realm. And due to the flawed Heavenly Dao, even if creatures reached the Longevity Secret Realm, they could at most break through to the peak of the King-sealed level, unable to enter the Saint King Realm.
But even so…
The Qingtian Realm still gave rise to a monster like Zhao Wuji.
Which led to the overthrow of the Hall of Longevity’s rule over the Qingtian Realm.
Moreover, in that battle, the Heavenly Dao of the Qingtian Realm was severely damaged again, making it extremely difficult for the creatures of the Qingtian Realm to break through to the Sacred Venerate Realm within the Qingtian Realm over the past thousand years.
They had not anticipated that after Zhao Wuji, the Mysterious Realm’s Martial Clan would produce another master at the Saint King Realm.
“This Mysterious Realm’s Martial Clan is not to be underestimated!” the Red Sun Palace Master transmitted telepathically.
“Big Brother, do you think that thing might have fallen into the hands of the Martial Clan? Otherwise, how could their clan consecutively produce monstrous figures like Zhao Wuji and Zhao Wudi…” Master Mingyue said in a deep voice.
“Hmm?”
The Red Sun Palace Master’s eyes lit up, “You have a point, only that reason can explain why Zhao Wudi could break through to the Saint King Realm in the Qingtian Realm, where the Heavenly Dao is flawed. It seems, be it to find that treasure or to unify the Qingtian Realm, the Mysterious Realm must be brought under control!”
“There’s no rush. We have just reawakened and our cultivation has not yet returned to its peak. Striking hastily now carries substantial risk…”
Master Mingyue turned and fixated on Tongtian, “Tongtian, your sincere loyalty has been felt by me. However, my brother and I have not yet recovered our powers to peak levels. We lack full confidence in confronting that Zhao Wudi from the Mysterious Realm. At present, I have a task to entrust to you…”
“Please instruct, Palace Master. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will face fire and water without hesitation!” Tongtian said excitedly.
Master Mingyue nodded approvingly, “Very well, as long as you complete this task for me, when I once again rule the Qingtian Realm, I will surely aid you in reaching the Saint King Realm.”
“Thank you, Palace Master…”
Tongtian’s face flushed with excitement, finally seeing the hope of breaking through to the Saint King Realm, eyes intensely fixed on Master Mingyue.
Master Mingyue said, “Currently, the Southern State is under the control of your Sky-reaching Alliance, correct?”
Tongtian quickly nodded.
A crimson tongue licked Master Mingyue’s lips as he spoke slowly, “I will have Yang Yi accompany you back to the Southern State. You are to build three altars within three days. Three days later, I will descend upon the Southern State…”
“May I ask, Palace Master, what kind of altar?” Tongtian inquired.
Master Mingyue eerily responded, “The Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice Altar!”
“What?”
A shiver ran through Tongtian’s body, his eyes widened, filled with terror and disbelief…
