"I had dealings with this person before," the Bronze Ancient King sighed softly. "He indeed possessed so thods. In that Flare Realm, several Radiant Moons from my Dust Star Sea were also quite constrained by him."
"It's quite a pity..."
He also put on an act of lanting for a few sentences, his gaze then turning towards the other two Heaven Lords.
Heaven Lord Pei naturally said: "You master and disciple haven't seen each other for a while. You must have many things to say, so we won't disturb you."
"Regarding the construction of the 'Compass' next, we'll discuss it after you finish your affairs."
Ancient Heaven Lord's reaction was obviously half a beat slow, but upon hearing Pei Song's words, he also nodded.
Su Chen nodded in agreent, watching the two leave the Ancient King Palace.
After the two left, Qing Cang couldn't help but say: "On that Compass, not only will there be a statue of you, but also a statue of Daoist Lord Lingxiao. High Firmant clearly wants to replace your position in the Dust Star Sea."
The Bronze Ancient King shook his head and said: "We are already mbers of High Firmant now. Adding the Daoist Lord's statue is perfectly justified. Moreover, High Firmant has also provided a lot of technical assistance. If it weren't for the thod to relocate Life Stars, it would be difficult to gather so many lifeforms here."
"But..." Qing Cang seed to want to say sothing more, but was interrupted by the Bronze Ancient King. "Alright, let's end this matter here."
Qing Cang was helpless and could only shut his mouth, but then he noticed his Master staring straight at him.
At first, he was a bit confused, looked left and right, and only then realized, saying in astonishnt: "I have to leave too."
"Otherwise?" the Bronze Ancient King retorted.
Qing Cang was montarily speechless. He glanced at Su Chen, who was standing to the side seemingly looking honest, but could only bow and leave.
After everyone had left and the hall doors were closed, streams of data light flowed out from the Bronze Ancient King's body and rged into the ground.
This Ancient King Palace was originally his residence and inherently possessed no small amount of might.
After making the proper arrangents, he finally couldn't help but ask: "What was going on with Taixuan Hong?"
"An Avatar..." Su Chen replied honestly.
"An Avatar could deceive those Radiant Moons and even pin them down in that Great Void Realm, forcing them to compromise?" The Bronze Ancient King had a look of "Do you take for a fool" on his face.
"I indeed played a few tricks." Su Chen chuckled.
"Alright, save it." The Bronze Ancient King waved his large hand. Having experienced it many tis, he was already immune to Su Chen's thod of laughing things off to muddle through.
"As expected, I can't hide it from Master." Su Chen's expression remained unchanged as he whispered: "Didn't the Tianyi brothers' blood sacrifice summon the ancestor of the Taixuan family last ti? When he sent out, he left so ans for , which I happened to use this ti."
"Taixuan Tianyi..." The Bronze Ancient King remained silent. "So, you also helped him resolve the Taixuan family's problems."
"If you receive Karma from soone, you always have to repay it." Su Chen shrugged.
Hearing this, the Bronze Ancient King couldn't help but glance at Su Chen, feeling sowhat moved. Apart from him, no one knew who Taixuan Hong was, and that Taixuan Tianyi had long been dead.
Even if Su Chen completely ignored the Taixuan family, no one would know. No one would dislike a junior disciple who knows how to repay a debt of gratitude.
Thinking of this, although he still had so doubts in his heart, he didn't voice them, rely asking: "But how will you handle the Spirit of the Vast Sun?"
"The reason I returned to the sect was precisely for this matter." Su Chen didn't hide anything. Towards Old Yuan, apart from the Status Panel, there wasn't really much he couldn't say.
"I have so ans in my hands to contact the Spirit of the Vast Sun. Its spirituality is very high, so cooperating with to put on a show shouldn't be a big problem."
Contacting the Spirit of the Vast Sun... The Bronze Ancient King's eyes shimred slightly. "Is it also the ans left behind by the Taixuan Ancestor?"
"Yes." Su Chen nodded.
Thoughts surged in the Bronze Ancient King's mind. Considering how comprehensive this was, Su Chen would be able to completely clear his na and legitimately beco the Chosen of the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith.
Then wouldn't the Bronze Sect...
Thinking of this, even he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitent. That was the Radiant Sun. The last ti he t Daoist Lord Lingxiao, the other party's might left a deep impression on him.
"However..." Suddenly, he thought of a crucial question and frowned slightly. "But you can't let the Spirit of the Vast Sun directly select you the mont it sees you."
No one could directly beco the Chosen of the Spirit of the Vast Sun. Taixuan Hong had the backing of the Taixuan Ancestor, but Su Chen had nothing.
Moreover, with the matter of Taixuan Hong happening right before, it wouldn't necessarily stop others from associating him with the Taixuan family.
He had finally washed himself clean of this identity; he absolutely could not be tainted by it again.
"I understand. I just need to follow the normal selection process." Su Chen naturally knew this. In reality, he had previously managed to do it opportunistically by inputting a portion of the profession information into his Status Panel first.
Even so, he didn't completely succeed; it was only after Taixuan Tianyi gave him a push that it was accomplished.
Although the outside world, and even Old Yuan, believed that Taixuan Hong could beco the Chosen because of the Taixuan Ancestor...
Su Chen estimated that if it was solely based on the Taixuan family bloodline, even with the Empyrean God talent, there was absolutely no way to directly beco a Chosen.
"If you follow the normal selection process, you'll have to defeat all the competitors." The Bronze Ancient King subconsciously frowned, but suddenly rembered Su Chen sweeping the top ten, as well as Taixuan Hong sweeping the Five Pillars, so it seed it wouldn't be too difficult.
"Well, normally speaking, it shouldn't be a big problem, but there will also be people at the Morning Star level participating." The Bronze Ancient King reminded him. "The minimum age requirent for the Radiant Sun Elect is five hundred years old."
"Five hundred?" Su Chen was slightly taken aback. He really hadn't understood the relevant information regarding this before.
If calculated based on the age of five hundred, it would probably include quite a few Morning Stars.
"They won't have us face off against Morning Stars directly, right?" Su Chen muttered. Although he didn't know much about this, Tong Zhuo and the others definitely did, and they hadn't shown any anxiety about the potential participation of Morning Stars.
The Bronze Ancient King also shook his head: "Definitely not. From what I understand, past Radiant Sun Selections would last for a hundred years or even longer. So people would even drag it out until they exceeded the age limit. During this period, the changes in strength are imnse to begin with, so there should be a set of procedures."
"It's fine. I'll just go through the procedures first. If I really can't handle those Morning Stars, I'll have the Spirit of the Vast Sun pull so strings behind the scenes. After all, everyone's talent is about the sa, and being pleasing to the eye is also an important factor." Su Chen thought about it carefully and didn't feel overly worried.
Pull so strings... The corners of the Bronze Ancient King's eyes twitched.
Su Chen then changed the subject and asked, "Master, there's one more thing. Can you get the specific procedures and details for the Azure Deity tamorphosis?"
"Azure Deity tamorphosis, indeed... If you obtain the Selection with True Radiance, it wouldn't make sense." The Bronze Ancient King pondered and said: "I estimate the other Heaven Lords know this thod. But to be safe, I'll wait until the Dao Sovereign returns and ask him directly."
"Listening to the two Heaven Lords, he should be returning soon."
"Alright." Su Chen nodded. Having reported his affairs and explained his needs, he bid farewell to the Ancient King and prepared to go back to contact the Spirit of the Vast Sun.
Exiting the grand hall, there was no one outside. The flight vehicle he rode in on had already been driven away by Qing Cang.
"Lao Qing is throwing a tantrum again..." Su Chen was speechless. He leaped into the starry expanse, utilizing the tal Elent to execute the Shadow-Slaying Phantasm, tearing out a sharp streak of light behind him.
In no ti, he returned to his floating island on the Bronze Core. Naturally, it hadn't been assigned to anyone else, and even the layout on it was still preserved.
"The dents are still there." He stuck his head out and glanced into the Nether Tower; the traces of damage from before were clearly visible.
Sitting inside the Nether Tower, a familiar sense of security arose spontaneously, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply, "It's still more comfortable here."
Reaching out, he took the Remnant Spirit Origin from his portable space, and then took out solid Faith Essences one by one, piling them up to the side. Five hundred of them fully occupied a small half of the Nether Tower's space.
He rubbed his hands together and, following the thod he tricked out of the Remnant Spirit last ti, began to chant in a low voice: "...Sovereign of the Pure World..."
As his voice rose and fell, at a distance of precisely three fen and three li in front of Su Chen, a purple fla the size of a fist suddenly ignited.
Initiating a sacrificial ritual as the Chosen of the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith, under normal circumstances, a response should have been generated very quickly.
But in reality, even until he chanted until his mouth was dry, the purple fla in the void only beca a bit more vigorous.
"It's sealed really tightly..." Su Chen shook his head. His arm plunged into the Remnant Spirit Origin, naturally unable to pull anything out, but as his prayer words shifted, strands of deep, dark grey matter surged out along his arm.
Cold, chilling, and profoundly silent.
It actually slowly rged into the purple fla in front of him. As if stirred by an invisible hand, layers of ripples appeared at the edges.
The grey matter slowly devoured the light and heat of the fla, gradually dyeing the dazzling purple fla dark, transforming it into an obscure and profound grey-purple light.
This grey-purple fla emitted an aura that made one involuntarily feel disgusted, perhaps because of the Chosen's connection.
Su Chen even felt vaguely nauseous, as if he had been polluted.
Strands of pure Power of Faith were pulled out from the essence and rged into this grey-purple fla.
In an instant, the fla rushed toward him. Su Chen resisted his body's instincts, allowing his consciousness to be pulled into it.
The sound of howling wind echoed in his ears, and his vision was a blur of hazy nothingness. Su Chen only felt himself falling rapidly, traversing an endlessly vast distance in a split second.
"rely sacrificing to the Sovereign of the Purple Zenith makes the other party descend, but integrating a portion of the Nine-Eye Final Ruin's origin brings over..." Su Chen realized the difference between the two thods.
Suddenly, a massive golden light appeared before his eyes. He felt as if he had crashed into a wall. After his consciousness cleared a bit, he discovered that it was actually rows upon rows of golden Buddhas, layered upon each other, densely packed, and endless.
Their entire bodies flowed with a molten gold-like radiance, tightly connected to form a boundless wall.
"Is this the blockade outside the Tower of Spirit?" Su Chen realized.
He then noticed that the grey-purple fla spread all over his body, carrying his consciousness, and gradually passed through this wall of Buddhas.
Behind it was a deep, surging river of mist.
And behind that was a magnificent Heavenly Gate, boundless and vast.
"There are actually only three blockades..." After squeezing through the gap of that magnificent Heavenly Gate, Su Chen felt as if he had been flattened.
And what was floating before his eyes was precisely that Tower of Spirit. The palace of the Spirit of the Vast Sun on the top of the tower, which had been shattered last ti, was now perfectly intact as before.
His vision blurred, and the scene changed again.
His consciousness had already entered the hall straight away. Right before his eyes was the vessel of the Spirit of the Vast Sun—a wisp of purple flalet.
And the mont he appeared here, this flalet seed to sense sothing and suddenly grew a bit larger.
A dragon's head popped out from within, its eyes filled with suspicion, its nostrils flared, seeming to sniff for so kind of information.
With a thought from Su Chen, the grey-purple fla on his body gradually materialized, indistinctly sketching out a shadowy silhouette.
Visible to the naked eye, a look of disgust welled up in the Spirit of the Vast Sun's eyes, and it seed about to take action.
"Stingy Dragon, it's ." He hurriedly said. The partial information of the Final Ruin on his body made this guy hate it very much.
The Spirit of the Vast Sun tossed its head, its eyes seemingly sowhat alard and doubtful, its voice muffled: "The Chosen?"
"Yes, yes." Su Chen nodded repeatedly.
"What the heck is on your body, it stinks so much..." The dragon head shrank back, saying in disgust.
Hey, I've already beco the Chosen. Even if you don't submit right away, at least be polite. Such an awful temper... Su Chen grumbled inwardly, but said helplessly: "I used so thods to pass through the blockades of the other several Radiant Moons."
He didn't explain too much and said straightforwardly: "Ti is tight, there's sothing I must inform you in advance. Soon, soone might bring a guy with quite high talent to find you. Just pretend I don't exist temporarily and give him your recognition normally."
"What do you an?" The Spirit of the Vast Sun didn't quite understand.
"It's complicated to explain..." Su Chen had already prepared a draft and recounted his general idea exactly as it was.
"...That's how it is. Do you understand now? This is to avoid so trouble."
"I roughly understand..." That small dragon head frowned deeply, not looking like it understood at all no matter how one looked at it.
"In short, you just pretend this Chosen of yours doesn't exist, and then go through the previous process again?"
Hearing this, Su Chen closed the mouth he had prepared to explain again with and nodded, saying: "That's pretty much what it ans."
"What if you don't pass?" The Spirit of the Vast Sun rolled its eyes and suddenly asked, carrying so sort of malicious amusent.
"Pull so strings for behind the scenes." Su Chen didn't mind at all, and then clearly saw disdain welling up in those mung bean-sized eyes.
But then, the Spirit of the Vast Sun turned its body, moving around the flalet, and asked: "You kid are quite interesting. Last ti, I thought it was the aura of Taixuan Ye, but later I found out it wasn't quite right. That seed to be the aura belonging to the profession itself. How did you get it?"
"My ti is up. Be absolutely sure to rember to pretend I don't exist. I'll feed you more Faith Essence in the future..." Su Chen's expression changed slightly. The grey-purple fla wrapping around his body flickered unstably. He only had ti to leave behind this sentence before disappearing without a trace.
"Hmph..." The Spirit of the Vast Sun snorted coldly, but its tongue couldn't help licking its lips. Having stayed here for tens of thousands of years, only that little bit of Faith Essence this kid fed it a while ago satisfied its craving.
"No, what do you an feed? That's called an offering!" The dragon head raised high, then suddenly shrank back into the flalet.
"Phew..." Inside the Nether Tower, Su Chen opened his eyes, looking at the Faith Essence beside him that had completely dissipated, and his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
Five hundred portions of Faith Essence were only enough to last for such a short while.
The Remnant Spirit Origin had also dimd considerably.
"I wonder how many more tis it can provide for my use. The remnant origin at the Final Ruin level is truly easy to use."
Su Chen carefully put it away. This thing had already helped him solve troubles many tis; it was simply a panacea.
