His inadvertent exclamation was quiet. In this setting, few could hear it, but it was enough to jolt those beside him to attention.
Both Gu Liani and Li Hongjiu looked surprised. Anyone in the Artifact Refining World with a little knowledge would recognize the name. It was an artifact-refining sect that had suddenly risen over a century ago, once enjoying tremendous prestige and producing talent in abundance. It had eclipsed Summer Path Mountain and sought to rival the Heavenforging Sect, only to suddenly disappear.
Apparently, it had vanished because it became embroiled in a dispute between the Heavenly Court and its four subordinate Royal Courts. One of those Royal Courts had then found a pretext to send troops and wipe it out.
From then on, the Cultivation World no longer had a sect called Sky-Shrouding Island.
The Boundless Banner was precisely Sky-Shrouding Island's sect-guarding treasure. It was said to contain a world of its own, capable of swallowing people and treasures. Its function resembled that of a Heaven-and-Earth Bag, but its power was far beyond anything a Heaven-and-Earth Bag could match.
How could a Heaven-and-Earth Bag possibly suppress a Magical Treasure as powerful as Sudden Slash? It would be destroyed in a single encounter.
Rumor had it that once this treasure appeared, it could cow other treasures into submission.
He had heard that when Sky-Shrouding Island was wiped out, the forces involved had conducted an extensive search for the Boundless Banner, yet failed to find it. No one knew where it had gone. Who would have imagined it would appear here?
In truth, Zuo Zisheng had never seen it either, only heard of it. But the banner's appearance matched the legends, and it could effortlessly take in a fifth-grade Magical Treasure. It was probably the real thing.
