North of the Hundred-Strike Mountain Range.
Eight hundred thousand miles away.
Tianyin Empire.
In a magnificent and grand palace.
Several figures stood still.
At the highest position, an old man with white hair lay on a soft couch, emanating a heavy, fading aura, resembling a man on the brink of death.
His body was motionless, eyes lowered, silent. Yet, there was an overwhelming sense of majesty, suppressing the entire palace, making others dare not ignore him.
Suddenly,
The old man opened his eyes, and a flash of sharp light shot out. He turned his head towards the direction of the Hundred-Strike Mountain Range.
"Da Luo Sword Sect!"
A hoarse voice rang out. The old man clenched his fist, and a flawless white jade cup in his hand was crushed into powder with a single squeeze.
At the same time,
An incredibly terrifying aura swept across.
It was like a mountain pressing down on the shoulders of everyone in the palace.
"Imperial Son."
The old man spoke indifferently.
"Son is here."
A middle-aged man stepped forward, bowing respectfully.
"The one who just broke through... Is he the Da Luo Sword Sect Sect Master, Ren Qingtu?"
The old man's hoarse voice asked.
"Father's eyes can see through everything; nothing escapes your notice."
The middle-aged man replied in a deep voice.
"Heh."
The old man sneered coldly, his voice distant.
"Ren Qingtu is of the same generation as you. He has stepped into the Saint realm, but this god-emperor of mine is still stuck at the Saint Lord level..."
The old man was the current God-Emperor of the Tianyin Empire.
In terms of seniority, he was an entire generation above Ren Qingtu and Yang Qiu. Yet, despite his status, he had not yet become a Saint. He had watched as his juniors surpassed him, which made it hard for him to maintain his dignity.
The atmosphere in the palace grew increasingly heavy.
No one dared to speak.
"Forget it."
After a brief pause, the old man spoke again, his tone indifferent.
"Imperial Son, go to the Hundred-Strike Mountain Range yourself. Investigate what opportunity Ren Qingtu found, and bring it back!"
"The Hundred-Strike Mountain Range ultimately lies within the dominion of the Tianyin Empire. How can we let others enter freely?"
"Son will obey."
The middle-aged man said respectfully.
"And..."
The old man slowly sat up, his eyes burning like torches, resembling a waking beast. Even in his later years, his presence was not to be underestimated. He looked at his son, his voice hoarse as he spoke:
"You need to hurry up and cultivate. My remaining time is running out."
"Understood."
The middle-aged man lowered his head, and in an angle where no one could see, a flash of resentment appeared in his eyes.
"Go now."
The old man waved weakly.
"Of course."
The middle-aged man bowed and left the palace.
Great Wasteland City.
In front of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
Li Yun and Liu Chengxue stood side by side, gazing towards the direction of the Hundred-Strike Mountain Range.
The distance was not far, and the towering sword intent was clearly visible from here, even giving off a faint pressure from a Saint.
"Looks like it's your master who became a Saint."
Li Yun said indifferently.
"All thanks to the senior's guidance."
Liu Chengxue replied respectfully, but there was a hint of joy on his face that was hard to hide.
After all, when his master became a Saint, it also brought face to the disciple.
"What a shame."
Li Yun shook his head slightly.
"Are you pitying Yang Qiu?"
Liu Chengxue's heart skipped a beat.
The senior had sold the opportunity to two people: his master and Yang Qiu. Now, his master had become a Saint, yet the senior was saying "what a shame."
This clearly didn't bode well.
"No."
Li Yun sighed deeply.
Looking into the distance, he thought to himself: Since Ren Qingtu became a Saint, the opportunity to become one has disappeared. Now I can't sell it to anyone else, cutting off my path to rack up Heavenly Mechanism points.
Isn't it a shame?
Next time, I'll need to gather more people for a group purchase.
Hmm...
A 20% off group purchase!
Otherwise,
Each Saint Lord-level figure comes individually, no matter how many opportunities I have, it won't be enough to give away.
Saint Lord-level weapons are precious,
But when compared to the power of the Saint realm, they don't really matter.
"That's good..."
Liu Chengxue patted his chest, letting out a sigh of relief.
As long as it wasn't his master who had offended the senior, everything could be dealt with.
"Senior!"
At this moment,
A heart-wrenching shout echoed from the horizon.
Before the person arrived, their voice had already reached them.
As the voice landed,
An old man in black stood in front of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, pounding his chest in distress.
"Senior, my opportunity to become a Saint was stolen!"
"Hmm?"
Li Yun raised an eyebrow.
He looked at Yang Qiu with some amusement.
You still have the nerve to complain?
You couldn't become a Saint even after three days. Is that my fault?
After checking Yang Qiu's information, Li Yun was even more entertained. He entered the formation and didn't think about taking the opportunity first, instead focusing on the formation.
If Ren Qingtu took the opportunity, who can he blame?
"Don't panic."
Li Yun waved his hand casually, saying, "Opportunities aren't limited to just one place. Since Ren Qingtu can become a Saint, so can you. It's just that the timing hasn't arrived yet."
"Besides, even though you haven't become a Saint, didn't you obtain quite a few valuable items in that cave heaven?"
"But those items, in terms of value... can't compare to becoming a Saint."
Yang Qiu sighed, clutching his chest.
If he could choose,
He would give up everything just to become a Saint.
"Becoming a Saint isn't such a big deal. As long as you can afford the value, I can give you another opportunity!"
Li Yun smiled.
Yang Qiu: "..."
If becoming a Saint isn't a big deal,
Yang Qiu couldn't think of anything else in the world that could be considered a "big deal."
Among the entire cultivation world, the only person who could say such things was probably the Lord of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
