Chapter 251 - 251: The True Appearance of the Supreme Throne
Southern Flame Continent.
Fire Toad Cave.
After the Sword Envoy left the Linhai Immortal City, he was not in a hurry to return to the headquarters. Instead, he came to a teahouse in a mortal country to rest. As a sword cultivator, he preferred to experience life in the mortal world.
He sat by the window as he looked at the bustling streets filled with pedestrians and thought about the message from Hall Master Yueling.
He had seen many Hall Master-level experts at the headquarters of the True Treasure Pavilion. They even chatted occasionally. However, he rarely came into contact with top experts like Hall Master Yueling.
And it was rare for the other party to personally send a message. He thought about it. He could not figure out why Hall Master Yueling would suddenly ask about the scripture.
Whoosh.
At this moment, the surrounding space distorted and shook. Immediately after, a figure slowly appeared in front of the sword envoy. It was as if all the mortals in the teahouse did not see it at all, turning a blind eye. However, the sword envoy’s entire body trembled. He hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully. “Jianyu greets Lord Yueling!”
This was the first time he had seen such a top-notch master at the main hall level at such a close distance since joining the headquarters. The aura that was like a sea of clouds made people tremble.
“Jianyu, let me ask you, when and where did you give Shen Ping the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture?” A dignified voice rumbled in the ear of the sword envoy like a bell.
He did not have the time to think at all and replied directly, “Lord Yueling, eight hours ago, I personally handed the scripture to Talisman Master Shen in the backyard hall of the main station of the True Treasure Pavilion in Linhai Immortal City. The headquarters’ Recording Jade could be my witness.” As he spoke, he quickly took out the Recording Jade from his body.
Hall Master Yueling swept his gaze over and said in a calm voice, “Don’t tell anyone about what happened today.”
The phantom gradually faded. When the aura in front of him completely dissipated, The sword envoy raised his head and looked at the spot just now. He was rather shocked. “Shen Ping! What exactly happened to him that made this Main Hall expert personally appear to ask?”
His eyes were filled with bewilderment. After all, it involved the scripture. It was a matter of great importance. He did not dare to make wild guesses.
Buzz.
At this moment, his identity jade token vibrated. The sword envoy took out his divine sense and permeated it. His subordinate’s voice sounded. “Talisman Master Shen has already entered the Glory Ranking and is ranked 65th more than an hour ago!”
The sword envoy was stunned on the spot. It was a long time before he came back to his senses. He could not help but confirm it a few times and get an affirmative response. He seemed to understand why Hall Master Yueling had personally appeared to ask about the scripture.
Eight hours… Heavens, this simply subverted his understanding!
Buzz!
His identity jade token vibrated again. It was the Hall Master of Sword Hall. He asked the same question as Hall Master Yueling. The sword envoy hurriedly said, “Eight hours, I’m very sure!”
“You haven’t left the Southern Flame Continent, have you?”
“No.”
“Return to the Linhai Immortal City quickly. Remember, no matter the price, you have to do your best to recruit that Talisman Master Shen into my Sword Hall. This is an opportunity for my Sword Hall to rise in the future!”
The sword envoy could hear the rare urgency in the Hall Master’s voice. He said solemnly, “Hall Master, don’t worry. My relationship with Talisman Master Shen is not bad.” He ended the transmission. He took dozens of deep breaths.
However, just as he was about to board the flying ship floating in the air, his identity jade token vibrated again. It was Hall Master Huayun. Hearing what he asked, the sword envoy’s mouth twitched as he repeated, “It was eight hours ago.”
Buzz buzz buzz-
In the next five minutes, his identity jade token kept vibrating. Hall Masters and high-level elders sent messages one after another, asking about Shen Ping and the scripture.
In the end, the sword envoy could not help but reveal a helpless and bitter smile. He hesitated and sent a message to the Hall Master. “Hall Master, you should come to the Linhai Immortal City personally.”
The Hall Master of the Sword Hall quickly replied, “I’m already on my way.”
True Treasure Pavilion’s headquarters
Hall Master Yueling’s figure returned to the throne. He flicked his fingertip. The Recording Jade flashed to the center of the hall. Soon, the scene of the handover of scriptures recorded by the main station of the True Treasure Pavilion was projected.
Hall Master Yueling waved his hand, and the scene of him talking to the Sword Envoy appeared in front of him.
Dozens of throne phantoms focused their gazes. After reading it, the hall was instantly silent. There were only auras distorting the space. They no longer had any doubts. After all, if an expert from the main hall personally asked, it was almost impossible for a member of the Sword Hall to hide it.
“The fastest record for all the geniuses of the True Treasure Pavilion to comprehend the second volume of the beast form is three months, but this little fellow only used four hours. Moreover, the most important thing is that he didn’t comprehend the basic talisman diagram, but the final form of the beast form. Such comprehension and natural talent is something that even I find difficult to achieve!”
A gentle voice sounded. The phantom of the highest throne actually walked step by step towards the white jade tower. Every step she took, the space in the hall trembled once. The blurry and distorted phantom gradually became clear.
The dozens of throne phantoms around them were instantly stunned. Their eyes unanimously looked at the figure that had appeared in the void. However, no matter how they operated their eyesight, they could only see talismans, pill furnaces, array discs, artifact cauldrons, and other condensed objects that emitted light.
However, when this figure walked to the front of the white jade tower and stopped, all the condensed items instantly disappeared. The face of the highest throne, which seemed to be composed of a thousand different temperaments, such as solemn, holy, charming, and enchanting, was revealed in the middle of the hall.
The dozens of throne phantoms, including Hall Master Yueling, were in a daze. Even if it was them, this was the first time they had seen the Head Hall Master’s true appearance after countless years.
However, just as they were in a daze, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the face. This smile was like a blooming white lotus. Waves of gentle light gathered behind her at a speed visible to the naked eye, illuminating the entire hall.
A gentle voice sounded in the ears of dozens of throne phantoms again. “Everyone, the most monstrous genius of our True Treasure Pavilion has been born.”
Linhai Immortal City.
At the entrance of the courtyard of Yongyang Lane.
Pei Huoyu quietly put away her identity jade token. She looked at the broad figure who had been standing in front of her for an hour. Although her valiant face was still calm, her heart was already fluctuating.
The 65th place on the Glory Ranking completely shook her heartstrings. If not for the fact that Shen Ping’s aura had not changed at all, she even thought that the other party had changed his soul.
It was already unbelievable that he had comprehended the second volume of the Talisman Beast Scripture in four hours. However, Pei Huoyu did not expect that this was only the limit of her understanding..
