The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 795 - : Hall Masters Gather Together

Chapter 795: Chapter 795: Hall Masters Gather Together

The barren wasteland was so quiet that even the wind was absent, eerily silent.

Under a blue curtain of light, Fang Lin sat on the ground with helplessness.

Three days had passed since he got trapped in this blue barrier. During this time, Fang Lin had been continuously bombarding the barrier, and while he managed to shake it each time, the shield had remained surprisingly resilient. Nevertheless, Fang Lin could feel that the power of the curtain was weakening, and figured that if he waited a few more days, it would collapse under its own weight.

However, this would mean he would be wasting a significant amount of time here, having accomplished nothing but empty waiting.

“Guess I should use some other methods,” Fang Lin decided against the further waste of time. He withdrew a blood-colored longsword from his Nine Palace Bag.

With the longsword in hand, he swung powerfully and slashed at the blue curtain.

The barrier shattered under the might of the blood-colored sword, finally freeing Fang Lin.

A corner of Fang Lin’s mouth twitched. If he had used the blood-colored longsword sooner, he wouldn’t have wasted so many days.

It’s not that he hadn’t thought of the sword earlier. His hesitation stemmed from his uncertainty whether his every move in the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area was under the covert watch of the Pill Alliance’s higher-ups. It would be horrifying if everything he did was under constant scrutiny.

Even though Ye Mengxian had previously reassured him that what happened inside the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area would remain unknown to the outside world, even to the Pill Alliance’s higher-ups, Fang Lin was still somewhat apprehensive, hence his hesitation about using the blood-colored longsword.

At the moment, he put away the longsword and headed in a certain direction.

Beneath a grand tower of the Pill Alliance, numerous figures were gathering.

This tower was a holy land of the Pill Alliance, and those gathering figures belonged to the pill refiners who had come from all over the place for pilgrimage.

At this moment inside the tower, Hall Masters of the thirty-two palaces were gathered, each occupying their respective seat.

All the Hall Masters of the thirty-two palaces assembling together was a rare occurrence as each Hall Master had little interactions otherwise. Only significant events would bring them together.

Currently, with the opening of the Ancient Alchemy Prohibited Area, the higher-ups of the Pill Alliance issued an order to assemble the Hall Masters of these thirty-two palaces to discuss important matters.

However, right now, although all the hall masters were seated together, no one talked and the atmosphere was both solemn and grave.

Hall Master Ye Mengxian of the North Town Hall, as well as Hall Master Lu Feng of Western Guarding Palace, were naturally among them.

“My apologies for keeping you waiting,” a figure suddenly appeared – an elderly man dressed in white with a celestial aura.

Upon seeing the elderly man, all of the thirty-two hall masters present rose to their feet, their faces full of respect, and offered him a bow.

“Greetings, Elder Tianjun!” All hall masters chorused. Other than the four Heaven Kings and eight Great Elders of the Pill Alliance, no one else could garner such respect from these hall masters, each of whom held high positions and had the power of one side.

The appearance of an elder, coupled with the gathering of the thirty-two palace masters, made this meeting incredibly high-profile within the Pill Alliance.

“Please, take your seats. There are some matters that indeed need considerable discussions,” Elder Tianjun said in a light tone without putting on any airs, appearing very amiable.

Everyone took their seats again, their eyes all focused on Elder Tianjun.

“We’ve received news from the Seven Seas. Inside the so-called Taoist Sect, several potent pill refiners have risen and affected the development of our Pill Alliance there,” Elder Tianjun began.

Upon hearing this, the hall masters present expressed a range of reactions – some people knitted their brows, some looked puzzled, while others remained indifferent.

“Elder, with Elder Tianlan personally entrenched in the Seven Seas, there shouldn’t be any issues, right?” One hall master asked.

Elder Tianjun shook his head,” The situation in the Seven Seas is complicated. The three sects of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism coexist there. Even though the Buddhist Sect and the Confucian Sect pose less of a problem, the Taoist Sect also acknowledges the Pill Tao, which prevents our Pill Alliance from expanding its influence there.”

“If the Taoist Sect blocks the path of our Pill Alliance, then we should just eliminate it,” another hall master declared with a loud and dominating voice.

However, his proposal was met with scoffs by the other hall masters. Even Elder Tianjun chuckled.

“The Taoist Sect contains numerous strong players and shares a close-knit relationship with the Buddhist and Confucian factions. While the Pill Alliance is indeed powerful, our strength in the Seven Seas is limited, and we can only coexist with the three sects, rather than fight against them,” Elder Tianjun said.

“Does the elder have a plan for this? Why did you gather us?” A hall master asked. The one who asked was Ye Mengxian.

Elder Tianjun nodded,” The situation in the Seven Seas is critical. We need four hall masters to go there and assist Elder Tianlan.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present understood – they were planning to dispatch staff to the Seven Seas to assist Elder Tianlan.

As for who these hall masters would be, it seemed pretty straightforward. Elder Tianlan originally had the support of four hall masters, so it made sense to send those four since they were his confidants and their presence would make the operations smoother.

“I have decided on the four hall masters who will be going to the Seven Seas. However, there’s another matter that requires everyone’s discussion,” Elder Tianjun spoke again, his face becoming more grave.

Seeing this, everyone knew that the real reason for Elder Tianjun’s summons today was about to be discussed, and so they waited in anticipation.

“You might have heard something about this: the Qin Emperor has already discussed with the Yuan Emperor and Tang Emperor and decided to hold the War of the Nine Nations’ Prodigies,” Elder Tianjun said.

Upon hearing this, all present hall masters appeared shocked.

The three individuals mentioned by Elder Tianjun were the true lords of Nine Countries, ruling the Upper Three Countries, and held supreme authority and power.

The War of the Nine Nations’ Prodigies was a grand event that engrossed the whole of Nine Countries, drawing participation from all the prodigies of the countries.

The last War of the Nine Nations’ Prodigies occurred hundreds of years ago and saw many stunning talents leaving behind noteworthy feats that were still talked about.

“Elder, is the War of the Nine Nations’ Prodigies really going to be initiated again? What are the intentions of the Three Emperors?” One hall master questioned.

Elder Tianjun’s face turned serious, saying, “I’m not entirely sure. After the meeting of the Three Emperors, they met Heaven King of East Pole who then informed me about the War of the Nine Nations’ Prodigies.”

“What does the Heaven King think?” Many hall masters were both excited and nervous. Would the elusive Heaven King of East Pole also get involved in this War of the Nine Nations’ Prodigies?
