Eastern Wilderness, Silver Dragon Snowfield.
Due to the climate, this place experiences heavy snowfall year-round and extremely low temperatures, resulting in permafrost hundreds of meters deep, making it impossible for plants and animals to survive.
This has led to the extinction of life, and even cultivators rarely set foot in this area.
However, in recent days, cultivators have been frequently seen in this area.
Why?
However, it was an exchange team from Zhongzhou that built a giant city on the vast snowfield.
Hearing that the visiting exchange team consisted of prodigies from first-rate and second-rate sects in Zhongzhou, many independent cultivators came to the vicinity, hoping to catch a glimpse of the prodigies of Zhongzhou.
Naturally, spies from the nine major sects were also present, observing the crowd.
This city is called Thunder City, but in reality, it is a magical artifact.
now.
Inside a luxurious palace in the center of Thunder City.
Xue Wujie is currently hosting a banquet for the holy sons and daughters and true disciples of three other first-rate sects and twelve second-rate sects.
Xue Wujie is the most outstanding holy son of the Burning Moon Sect. He is only a little over two hundred years old, but his cultivation has reached the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and he also possesses a unique divine body.
His combat prowess is quite terrifying; he once single-handedly fought two cultivators at the first level of the Void Realm without sustaining any damage.
Unfortunately, the battle ended too quickly.
When the others arrived, they did not witness the battle between the two sides, which led to the mystery remaining about what kind of divine body Xue Wujie possessed.
Generally speaking, the physical constitution and supernatural abilities of talents who are given special training by the sect are kept secret as much as possible to prevent the enemy from finding their weaknesses and flaws!
As for the holy sons and daughters of the other three first-class sects, they are also very outstanding, but they are all inferior to Xue Wujie by half a step or a step.
Naturally, he became the leader of everyone!
"Brother Wujie, what are your plans for the future?"
Sitting to the left of Xue Wujie, the Holy Son Huo Yunxiao from the Divine Seal Sect asked with a smile.
Xue Wujie said calmly, "I believe the news of the Emperor's Tomb Key has already reached the Eastern Wilderness. The nine major sects of the Eastern Wilderness have probably guessed our intentions. Our stay here is to give them time to think and let them take the initiative to contact us!"
Upon hearing this, the other holy sons all showed thoughtful expressions.
“But what if they’re going to play dumb with us?” one of the holy sons said with a smile.
"Well, we're not pushovers either!"
Xue Wujie said calmly, "Our purpose in coming to the Eastern Wilderness is to obtain the key to the Emperor's Tomb. Only the nine major sects in the Eastern Wilderness can rule and dominate the region. Since we from the Central Continent have already intervened, their best option is to hand over the key to us and thus gain some benefits. If they insist on having any improper thoughts, then they are courting death!"
“Brother Wujie is absolutely right, then let’s wait a little longer!”
Just then.
Xue Wujie's attendant came to report that a Void Realm elder from the Xuanming Sect had come to pay his respects.
Upon hearing this, everyone present had a bright look in their eyes.
Xue Wujie, however, remained calm and said, "Please let him in!"
After a while.
The attendant led Zhang Jiuxu, the Dongxu Elder of the Xuanming Sect, into the main hall.
Zhang Jiuxu had clearly grasped the identities of everyone present and patiently greeted each of the holy sons and daughters.
"What brings Elder Zhang here?"
After he finished paying his respects, Xue Wujie asked in a detached tone.
Faced with Xue Wujie's indifference, Zhang Jiuxu was unfazed and instead smiled, saying, "Holy Son of Wujie, I know you have come for the keys to the Emperor's Tomb. I know who has two of the keys. Tell me, if I tell you the whereabouts of these two keys, how many slots will my Xuanming Sect receive?"
"If the news is true, I can give you ten spots!" Xue Wujie said with his expression still indifferent.
"Boundless Holy Son, ten spots are far too few!" Zhang Jiuxu said with some dissatisfaction.
"It's just news!"
Xue Wujie revealed a mocking smile: "If your Xuanming Sect can directly offer two tokens, this hall can promise your Xuanming Sect two hundred slots!"
The Emperor's Tomb is no ordinary place. Although the Creation Emperor's remains are gone and it's impossible for him to have become a zombie, don't forget that the Creation Emperor had two wives who were also emperors.
After speculation and analysis, they believe that the tomb of the Creator Emperor was most likely built by his two Daoist partners.
In other words, the remains of these two female emperors may also be inside the imperial tomb.
If these two corpses were to turn into zombies, it would be a truly terrifying thing.
Therefore, exploring the Emperor's tomb requires a group of cannon fodder to clear the way, which is why Xue Wujie casually promised two hundred slots.
Is this really true?
Zhang Jiuxu's eyes lit up.
“My senior brother is a man of his word, he wouldn’t lie to you!” Sikong Luanfeng, the Holy Maiden of the Burning Moon Sect, said with a sneer, her eyes filled with disdain and mockery as she looked at Zhang Jiuxu.
“In that case, my Xuanming Sect will deliver the token to the Boundless Holy Son!” Zhang Jiuxu said hastily, not taking Sikong Luanfeng’s mockery and disdain to heart at all.
"One month, I'll only give you one month!" Xue Wujie spoke again.
"good!"
Zhang Jiu nodded emphatically, then turned and left!
"Senior brother, do you think the other party will bring the token?" Sikong Luanfeng asked.
"Whether we bring it or not doesn't matter. In short, we are determined to get the token of the Eastern Wilderness!" Xue Wujie said with absolute confidence.
Zhang Jiuxu rushed back to the Xuanming Sect as quickly as possible and then met with Zhou Shenji, the sect leader of the Xuanming Sect.
"Junior Brother Jiuxu, how did things go?" Zhou Shenji asked.
"Sect Master, I have met with Xue Wujie, the Holy Son of the Burning Moon Sect. He promised that as long as we send the two tokens, he will give us 200 places to enter the Emperor's Tomb!"
"Two hundred!"
Zhou Shenji repeated in a low voice, "Okay, you can go and rest now!"
"yes!"
Zhang Jiuxu dared not say more.
After he left, Zhou Shenji suddenly disappeared from the spot and reappeared in a separate void space.
He waved his hand casually.
Nine chairs appeared in the void.
After a while, one figure after another appeared on the nine chairs.
"Greetings to all the venerable ancestors."
Zhou Shenji first stood up and bowed, then said in a deep voice, "The two keys are in the hands of the Hundred Flowers Sect and the Nine Saints Sect respectively. The Hundred Flowers Sect is easier to deal with, and the chances of seizing the token are high, but it will not be easy to seize the token from the Nine Saints Sect!"
"A bird in the hand is worth more than a thousand birds in the forest!"
A figure on a chair said, "We don't need to consider the token from the Nine Saints Sect for now. After all, those nine old ghosts are not to be trifled with. Let's concentrate our efforts on taking down the token from the Hundred Flowers Sect!"
Although the nine Saint Realm experts of the Nine Saints Sect are quite low-key, their strength is still quite formidable. Moreover, those nine old ghosts are together all year round and are proficient in combined attack formations.
Although the Xuanming Sect also had nine Saint Realm experts, they were unable to suppress those nine old ghosts.
On the contrary, the Hundred Flowers Sect ranks the lowest among the nine major sects, with only six Saint Realm experts. The Xuanming Sect can completely suppress them!
"In that case, we will have to trouble the nine patriarchs!"
Zhou Shenji nodded. One should not be too greedy. Although he really wanted to get those 200 spots, dealing with two sects at the same time might end up with nothing.
