Word spread through the martial world of Su Xin's astonishing feat in that battle. After all, there had never been a case in the history of the Martial Arts World of someone in the Spirit Transformation Realm killing a Yang God. Su Xin had broken the record.
As a result, Su Xin's prestige throughout the martial world soared. In Jiangnan Circuit, where he often appeared, it had shot straight up to nine hundred thousand.
Yet when Su Xin heard his subordinates' report, he sensed something unusual. It seemed as though someone was directing the flow of events.
It wasn't that anyone was deliberately targeting Su Xin. Rather, someone was using the commotion he had caused to draw the martial world's attention toward him and away from the Nine-Layer Sword Pavilion itself.
Su Xin could guess who was behind it: most likely Sword God Mountain, Famous Sword Villa, and the Yi Sword Sect.
The secrets they had uncovered in the Nine-Layer Sword Pavilion were simply too significant. The Human Emperor wasn't dead; he had taken his loyal subordinates and "ascended" to some strange place.
A White Jade Tablet had descended from the heavens, and it could let a True Martial Realm expert's Primordial Spirit survive for ten thousand years. It was suspected to be connected to the Mystery of Longevity.
Any one of these secrets was enough to shake the martial world.
But the three sects that had obtained the White Jade Tablet didn't want anyone else to know about it.
After all, it was far too important and could easily make people covet it.
They had no need to worry about Heaven's Court and the Underworld. Both were located in separate spaces, and no one could find them.
The three sects weren't afraid of anyone trying to seize the tablet
