When Ao Zhantian asked what level of cultivation the other side planned to send for the extra spot.
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor remained silent for a moment.
really!
No wonder this old fellow was so easy to talk to, taking care of the number of Ascenders and only sending five Heavenly Firmament Realm.
So it turns out they were planning to take advantage of the Ascenders' joy and make them forget about their extra spot, thus sending out an extra Heavenly Firmament Realm.
If you don't ask, by the time six Heavenly Firmament members arrive, it'll be too late; what can you do then?
The Ascenders all stared at the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor with utter disgust!
Seeing that his little scheme had been seen through, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor stated bluntly, "Our Eight Great Imperial Clans can only send six Heavenly Firmament Realm; this is already our biggest concession."
"Oh!"
Ao Zhantian sneered. Naturally, the Ascenders would not accept such conditions.
After a moment's thought, Ao Zhantian also made his concession.
"We absolutely cannot agree to the extra spots if your Eight Great Imperial Clans want to send another Heavenly Firmament Realm. The maximum we can offer is Primordial Chaos Heaven Stage Perfection."
The concession that Ao Zhantian made was indeed quite significant.
The Primordial Chaos Heaven Stage Perfection. It may seem like there's only the word "perfect" added, but it implicitly acknowledges that the other party is capable of having one foot in the Heavenly Firmament.
After Ao Zhantian spoke, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor looked at the other Saint Emperor.
After discussing it privately, the group finally agreed.
"Alright, let's do as you say. Three days later, bring your respective people back here, and we'll enter the ancient ruins together."
After the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor finished speaking, the Eight Great Imperial Clans left a few people to keep watch in secret, while the rest left directly.
The proposal to enter the ancient ruins three days later naturally allows both sides time to prepare.
After all, when a big shot goes out, they carry all the good stuff in their storage rings so they can leave at any time.
But the people below are a different story.
We need to go back and discuss with our clan members who would be the most suitable to send among those of the same level. We also need to prepare some trump cards for the cultivators entering the ancient ruins.
After the departure of the Eight Great Imperial Clans, Ao Zhantian first looked at Lin Heng: "For the next three days, return to the Battle Heaven Pavilion. I will send someone to pick you up from the Battle Heaven Pavilion in three days."
Lin Heng knew that Ao Zhantian still needed to return to the First Heaven with the other four powerful figures to discuss the matter, and there was no need for him to get involved, so he nodded in agreement.
Ao Zhantian said no more, waved his hand and opened up a space, creating a spatial gate in front of Lin Heng.
Lin Heng first bowed to the Ascenders, then looked at Ao Zhantian and nodded gratefully.
Without lingering, Lin Heng stepped inside, and the spatial gate gradually shrank as it rotated, disappearing in just a few seconds.
"Everyone, I think we should go to my Firmament Hall first."
After seeing Lin Heng off, Ao Zhantian turned around to look at the other Ascenders experts.
No one objected to this. The Ascenders left a few people to guard the ancient ruins, while the others followed Ao Zhantian to the Firmament Hall.
Eighth Heaven, Battle Heaven Pavilion, the lotus pond in the back garden.
After entering through the sect's main gate, Lin Heng instantly appeared here.
As soon as Lin Heng stepped into the back garden, he saw Situ Jiannan sitting comfortably on a stone chair, while Mei Chu, sitting opposite him, peeled a grape and fed the pulp to him.
"Cough cough!"
"It seems I've returned at a rather unfortunate time."
After clearing his throat twice to attract their attention, Lin Heng went inside.
Mei Chu saw Lin Heng appear and witnessed what had just happened, her pretty face instantly turned red, and even her snow-white swan neck flushed crimson.
"Owner!"
Situ Jiannan didn't have so many concerns. Upon seeing Lin Heng appear, he immediately stood up excitedly to greet him.
After a brief greeting, Lin Heng sat down and asked Situ Jiannan about the situation at the Battle Heaven Pavilion after he left.
It has only been a few years since Lin Heng went to the interdimensional passage, but with the help of the magical treasure that multiplies time ten thousand times, the strength of the Battle Heaven Pavilion has advanced by leaps and bounds.
Ao Lie has already broken through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm, and his Zhantian Squad has the foundation to begin attempting to break through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm. It is believed that it will not be long before the Zhantian Squad begins to break through one after another.
Meanwhile, Liu Ling'er and her three companions in the Ninefold Heaven did not disappoint Lin Heng's expectations. In the past few years, they have once again injected 50,000 outstanding disciples with good potential and talent into the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
Perhaps this is the biggest mistake of the major sects in the Nine Heavens. In many remote places that they look down upon, many exceptionally talented children have emerged.
These exceptionally talented disciples, after receiving abundant resources from the Battle Heaven Pavilion, made rapid progress in their cultivation.
Of course, all of this is inseparable from Lin Heng's resource supply.
If it weren't for Lin Heng sending the resources back and Situ Jiannan running around exchanging them, so many disciples wouldn't have been able to make such rapid progress.
In fact, even ordinary disciples of the Battle Heaven Pavilion receive more resources than elite disciples of some second-rate sects.
If you still can't improve quickly under these conditions, you might as well just find a block of tofu and smash your head against it.
Good things happen, and bad things happen too!
After speaking about his disciples, Situ Jiannan also delivered two pieces of bad news.
One is about Sun Yuan.
When Sun Yuan attempted to break through to the Primordial Realm, his violent energy erupted, which not only caused his advancement to fail but also resulted in a backlash.
Fortunately, Lin Heng's Good Avatar was there to save him in time. His cultivation level regressed to the Eighth-Grade Heavenly Venerable, and he is currently recuperating inside the Time Treasure.
This is also why Lin Heng did not detect Sun Yuan's aura after returning to the sect.
The other bad news concerns Lin Heng's Evil Avatar.
Although the Evil Avatar was merely an avatar of Lin Heng, it could still be considered Situ Jiannan's master, and he shouldn't have spoken ill of Lin Heng behind his back.
However, the Evil Avatar had indeed reached the point where it was necessary to report to Lin Heng.
Situ Jiannan only gave a few examples, but they were already enough to shock Lin Heng.
While out and about, the Evil Avatar was drinking in a restaurant when, because the other party's soul power swept over him, the Evil Avatar wiped out their entire family.
This sect is only a third-rate sect in the Eighth Heaven, but the other party belongs to the Asura Island faction.
At the time, Lin Heng was in the dimensional portal. It was only after the Good Avatar communicated with the Asura Island side and offered compensation and an apology that the other party stopped.
Shortly after this incident, Evil Avatar got into a fight with a Heavenly Venerable expert from the Lei Clan while listening to music at a theater.
The result was predictable: the Lei Clan expert was instantly killed.
The only saving grace was that the conflict was indeed instigated by that person from the Lei Clan. Although the Lei Clan was furious, they could only let it go under under pressure from the five forces on the side of the Ascenders.
