Chapter 1822: Chapter 799: Swarming In! Seeking a Way to Survive (Part 2)
Eventually, a white-robed phantom took form, graceful and jade-like, with an ethereal and distant aura.
When the white-robed phantom appeared, the Qiong Fei Divine Emperor and the Wanhan Divine Emperor both took a step back.
“Heart Source Quasi-Saint, forgive my abrupt visit,” said the white-robed phantom with a smile. “You have never been to the Heavenly Demon Mountain, so I could only use this method to meet you. Allow me to introduce myself first; I am the Vice Palace Master of the Heavenly Demon Holy Palace, ’Sheng Xun’.”
Li Yuan nodded with a smile, “I’ve long heard of the Heavenly Demon Holy Palace. The three Vice Palace Masters Sheng Xun, Mo Zhou, and Shan Qing, each can surpass a Supreme… I didn’t expect that a humble God King like me, dwelling in a remote part of the Cosmos, could attract a visit from Elder Sheng Xun.”
“I only relied on some special means to surpass a Supreme in the Heavenly Demon Mountain, it’s nothing,” the white-robed phantom Sheng Xun shook his head. “In terms of true strength, I am not as good as a Supreme, let alone your potential surpasses that of any Supreme in history.”
“Moreover, ”
“I have always been curious about the Heart Dream Universe.”
“Your homeland’s Cosmic Realm undergoes repeated reincarnations, yet every new Cosmic Realm born is so perfectly grand, truly enviable,” Sheng Xun said with a considerable sense of wonder. “And throughout the endless years, your Cosmic Realm has also produced quite a few astonishing figures.”
“Recently, from the last Cosmic Era, there were the Beihai Supreme and Supreme Hong Ying.”
“The farthest back I remember is the Demon Cliff Sub-Saint,” Sheng Xun remarked with a sigh.
“Demon Cliff Sub-Saint?” Li Yuan felt a sudden shock in his heart.
Throughout endless years, the Cosmos has birthed some Sub-Saints, and in the history of the Eighth Dark Domain, the only universally recognized Sub-Saint was—the Demon Cliff Sub-Saint.
Li Yuan had even seen the ultimate skill left by the Demon Cliff Sub-Saint, the “Demon Cliff Song,” in the treasure vault of the Immortal Divine Hall, which is an ultimate skill of the Void Realm lineage.
“The legendary Demon Cliff Sub-Saint was also from this Cosmic Realm?” The Qiong Fei Divine Emperor and the Wanhan Divine Emperor were shocked; this was definitely a significant secret.
“Is it real?” Li Yuan was somewhat doubtful.
After all, in the Immortal Divine Hall, he had not received any similar intelligence.
“Haha, as time changes and tens of trillions of years pass, were it not for the long-standing Demon Cliff Stele, the name Demon Cliff might have been forgotten. Why should I deceive you?” Sheng Xun laughed. “Perhaps other Eternal Organizations are not very clear… but I can remember it so well.”
“It’s because the Demon Cliff Sub-Saint was once an ’Honorary Palace Master’ of my Heavenly Demon Holy Palace,” Sheng Xun explained. “Naturally, my Holy Palace possesses extensive knowledge about his information.”
“Honorary Palace Master?” Li Yuan’s heart was stirred.
“I am aware of some of your experiences. You probably have the deepest connection with the Immortal Divine Hall, and they must have promised you many benefits,” Sheng Xun smiled. “In the Immortal Divine Hall, if you achieve great merit, you can gain the position of a ’Cosmic Divine Guard,’ or even a ’Cosmic Commander.’
Likewise, a Cosmic Cultivator who achieves great merit for my Heavenly Demon Holy Palace can become a Vice Palace Master or even an Honorary Palace Master, able to hold very high authorities…”
Li Yuan appeared contemplative.
Each Eternal Organization has extremely profound foundations. Throughout history, most of the Cosmos’s super-powerful beings have chosen to align with one or even multiple Eternal Organizations to strengthen themselves with their help.
Like myself, who chose the Immortal Divine Hall.
Like the Qing Qi Dominator, who chose the Chaotic Heaven Ancient Ruins.
Now it seems, the Demon Cliff Sub-Saint chose the Heavenly Demon Holy Palace.
“In normal circumstances, only those in the Emperor Realm have hope to become peripheral members of my Heavenly Demon Holy Palace, and only a Dominator is qualified to become an official member,” Sheng Xun smiled. “But you, in the God King Realm, can fight a Dominator, such talent I have never seen among Cosmic Cultivators since I became Vice Palace Master.”
“Therefore, I have specifically come this time to invite you to join my Heavenly Demon Holy Palace.”
“As a gift, my Heavenly Demon Holy Palace is willing to offer a Sub-Saint’s Ultimate Skill and ten pieces of Top Grade Emperor Weapons,” Sheng Xun said directly. “In the future, if you achieve merit for the Holy Palace, there will be more treasures.”
Li Yuan remained calm.
A Sub-Saint’s Ultimate Skill? Ten pieces of Top Grade Emperor Weapons? If it were before I went to the Eternal Divine Palace, I might have been tempted, but now? Li Yuan could face it with ease.
“This?”
“Insane! Vice Palace Master Sheng Xun really…?” The Qiong Fei Divine Emperor and the Wanhan Divine Emperor’s eyes turned slightly red. Whether it’s the Sub-Saint’s Ultimate Skill or the ten pieces of Top Grade Emperor Weapons, they far surpass all of their wealth combined.
Sufficient to drive them crazy.
“If I join the Holy Palace, I suppose there will be many restrictions,” Li Yuan said.
“Naturally, there will be some restrictions,” Sheng Xun did not hide it. “This is not a secret in the Cosmos. For example, during the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice journey, you must do your utmost to complete the tasks for the Holy Palace… In the future, any Cosmic treasures you obtain must first be offered to the Holy Palace. Of course, my Holy Palace operates under fair trade, and corresponding treasures will be provided, ensuring you will not be disappointed.”
Li Yuan understood clearly.
Compared to this, the treatment provided by the Immortal Divine Hall is much better, without any restrictions.
“Elder Sheng Xun, I fear I must disappoint you,” Li Yuan shook his head. “I have already promised the Immortal Divine Hall, I fear I cannot join the Holy Palace… Besides, Elder Sheng Xun, you should be aware of the dangers my journey through the Abyss Sacrificial Realm holds, and I must rely on the Immortal Divine Hall.”
Seeing this, Sheng Xun said, “I understand, the Abyss and the Immortal Divine Hall indeed surpass my Holy Palace… but the stronger they are, the greater the threat they actually pose to you.”
“As your strength continues to grow, you will understand this.”
“Threat?” Li Yuan felt a little moved.
He thought of Beihai Supreme, who had encountered an assassination attempt by the Abyssal Will.
“This is already the best offer my Heavenly Demon Holy Palace can give. If you still do not wish to join, that’s alright.” Sheng Xun smiled. “In reality, my Holy Palace harbors no delusions about the depths of the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice… However, when you come across some cosmic treasures, you may also consider trading with my Heavenly Demon Holy Palace.”
