Heavenly Supremes Gather
"You're pretty good at using someone else's flowers to present to Buddha!"
As Ice Emperor walked out of the hall amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he approached her and teased her.
How could he not know the situation of the Nine Nether Jade Vein?
In reality, it still belongs to the property of the first Sect Master of the Eastern Spirit Sect.
"Was this Nine Nether Jade Vein given to me?" Xiao Han paused, turned around, and asked calmly.
"Yes." Ice Emperor choked with emotion.
"Isn't that enough? Why worry about so much?" Xiao Han continued walking.
"Let's get ready, we don't have much time left."
Upon hearing this, Ice Emperor's expression changed, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he followed after her.
For the next two months, the entire Langya Heavenly Palace was busy integrating its own strength, procuring various strategic materials from outside sources and distributing them to disciples Elder despite the doubts and anxieties of many.
The Elder and higher-ups who used to be able to crack a few jokes now had stern faces, and even the slightest mistake in a disciple's cultivation would result in a severe reprimand.
Even the most oblivious being could sense the shift in atmosphere; a tense and ominous atmosphere permeated the air.
Not only in the Langya Heavenly Palace, but also in the western border of the Great Thousand World, in the vast areas bordering the Extraterrestrial Evil race, including the Saint Abyss Continent, a tense situation is gradually rising.
The number of powerful individuals on the Saint Abyss Continent, which has long been home to a large number of strong individuals, has now doubled. Even the Heavenly Supreme, who are usually elusive, are now frequently appearing.
Saint Abyss Continent, Great Thousand Pavilion.
The Great Thousand Pavilion was much quieter than before. All the people from all walks of life who used to gather there had disappeared, leaving only a group of elderly figures with white hair and beards.
Occasionally, a few rare middle-aged individuals can be found mixed in with the elderly crowd.
Judging from their appearance, this group might be the least threatening.
However, the truth is quite the opposite. The group of old men in the Great Thousand Pavilion who look like they need to take two steps to catch their breath are actually the pinnacle of the entire defense line, the legendary Heavenly Supreme are never seen!
As the owner of the Great Thousand Pavilion on the Saint Abyss Continent, Old Man Lan was in charge of the hospitality arrangements, which inevitably meant he had to deal with other people.
As the number of people entering Great Thousand Pavilion gradually increased, greetings echoed throughout the Great Thousand Pavilion.
"Old Huo!"
"Sword Monarch, how have you been?"
"Old Demon, you're still in good health!"
"Hey, isn't this Old Ghost Lan? You're still alive!"
Old Man Lan frowned, looked in the direction of the voice, and saw the familiar face of his old friend. While he was happy inside, he also put on a stern face and said irritably:
"Don't worry, even after you're buried, I'll still be drinking at your grave!"
"Please take a seat first, and we'll talk later."
The powerful figure who was acquainted with Old Man Lan was not annoyed. He chuckled and walked into the room, chatting with the others. For a moment, the quiet pavilion seemed to become somewhat lively.
"Old Man Lan, am I not late?"
At that moment, a rather young-sounding voice rang out in front of the door, startling everyone inside. They then curiously looked towards the door.
After all, not many people are able to come to the Great Thousand Pavilion for a meeting today, and such a young powerhouse is truly rare.
Sure enough, at the end of the line of sight were two White-robed Youth. One of them had a smile on his face, while the other, a serious-looking figure, was surveying the building and staring at the group of big shots without flinching.
Hmm, Spirit Rank Heavenly Supreme, with a solid foundation and considerable strength!
Huh?
The Great Perfection Earthly Supreme?
That's not quite enough!
The crowd sensed the smiling youth's cultivation level and frowned slightly, but did not show it.
Instead, their gazes fell on the Old Man Lan, who seemed to have a good relationship with the two of them; he was not someone who didn't know his place.
For Great Perfection Earthly Supreme at their level, a battle is just a matter of one move; this young man must have something unique about him.
As expected...
Old Man Lan shook his head helplessly and sighed:
"You're here pretty early, kid. You two go in first, and I'll introduce you two after everyone's here."
Xiao Han casually agreed and walked into the hall with Ice Emperor.
"Young friend, you're a new face!"
Just as Xiao Han and his companion were about to find a quiet corner, they suddenly heard an old voice.
The source of the sound was a smiling old man, barefoot, wearing a hemp robe patched in countless places, with messy hair, looking slovenly and no different from a beggar, but his body did not have the latter's odor, and his aura was as deep and unfathomable as the ocean.
"What advice do you have for me, senior?"
Xiao Han returned the smile. Everyone in this room was his senior, and even a fraction of their cultivation years were older than him.
"You two together?"
The outgoing old man gestured to Ice Emperor beside him, his expression full of certainty despite his question.
Xiao Han exchanged a glance with Ice Emperor, then smiled and nodded.
"Exactly."
"As expected?"
The old man's expression showed understanding, then he asked quietly:
"Young friend, could you tell me what special skills you possess?"
"A special skill?"
The old man laughed heartily, took a few sips from a wine jug that he had produced out of nowhere, and said with considerable confidence:
"Young friend, are you aware that only experts at the Heavenly Supreme level are allowed to attend today's meeting, and your cultivation level is...?"
The old man shook his head, giving a knowing look.
"Oh? I see, senior!"
Xiao Han suddenly realized and casually said:
"It's no secret. I'm only here because I'm a Great Spirit Array Master."
"Oh, Great Spirit Array Master!"
The old man subconsciously replied to the conversation and continued drinking, then suddenly stopped, as if frozen in time, the intoxicating wine flowing onto the ground like a stream.
"Are you Great Spirit Array Master?"
The old man raised his voice a notch. Although the Heavenly Supreme present looked old, they were all sharp-eared and sharp-eyed and heard him clearly. They all stared in astonishment at the young man who always had a faint smile on his face.
"Is there a problem?"
Xiao Han asked in confusion:
"Great Spirit Array Master shouldn't be that rare, right?"
Isn't that surprising?
Everyone asked themselves the same question.
There are dozens of powerful figures in the entire Great Thousand Pavilion, but there is only one Heavenly Supreme of Great Spirit Array Master, Xiao Han.
The old man gave Xiao Han a strange look, as if trying to figure out if Xiao Han was showing off. After noticing nothing amiss, he could only chuckle awkwardly and take his leave.
When Xiao Han's identity Great Spirit Array Master was revealed, the previously quiet surroundings were immediately filled with a group of smiling old men, all there to curry favor.
At the level of Heavenly Supreme, they may look down on Spirit Array Master, but they must absolutely respect every Grandmaster.
Because, one day, their formation might malfunction and they would need the help of Great Spirit Array Master Grand Array. This is a matter concerning the foundation of their power, and they cannot afford to be careless.
Moreover, unlike the renowned Great Spirit Array Master, this person is clearly a newcomer. Building a good relationship with him beforehand will open up more paths for him in the future!
Xiao Han forced a smile as he dealt with the various people who came to greet and make friends, his face practically stiff with embarrassment.
Finally, a steady and powerful voice ended his suffering.
"Please take your seats, everyone!"
