The three women were hearing for the first time from Tan Yun that he once had a wife, and that she was buried beneath the glaciers of the Battlefield of the Gods.
"Tan Yun, is she... okay?" Mu Mengyi asked softly.
"To be precise, the glacier within the Battlefield of the Gods is formed by the aura emitted from the Nine Phoenix Ice Coffin."
As he spoke, a tear rolled down Tan Yun's handsome face.
Zhong Wu Shi Yao stepped forward and embraced Tan Yun, gently asking, "Tan Yun, what was her name?"
"Fang Luxuan," Tan Yun responded.
"Tan Yun, let's go bring Sister Fang home and give her a proper burial," Zhong Wu Shi Yao suggested.
After a long sigh, Tan Yun said, "We'll go together after the Chen hour tomorrow."
Saying this, Tan Yun masked the pain in his heart and smiled, "You haven't eaten in a long time. I will personally roast some game for you. Wait for me at the summit; I will go catch some game right now so you can have your fill."
……
The next day, during the Chen hour, at the Ascension Platform.
At this moment, the high-ranking officials selected from among the disciples, along with over eleven million disciples, had already donned the attire of the Huangfu Sacred Sect.
The high-ranking officials and disciples stood straight on the Ascension Platform, unsure of what Tan Yun was going to announce.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
The four women, including Mu Mengyi, descended from the sky, landing gracefully on the Ascension Platform.
"Buzz!" As the void trembled, Tan Yun appeared out of thin air on the Ascension Platform.
"Subordinates and disciples pay respects to the Sovereign!" The high-ranking officials and disciples from all factions looked up at Tan Yun and knelt down.
"Please rise." After allowing everyone to stand, Tan Yun said, "Today, this sovereign has summoned you for three announcements."
"First, from now on, all cultivation methods of the divine soul celestial palace are abolished; no one is allowed to cultivate them any longer."
As soon as these words were spoken, although the high-ranking officials and disciples did not voice their complaints, everyone concealed their dissatisfaction in their hearts.
In their minds, the divine soul celestial palace's methods of cultivation, even if they could not compare to the eternal immortal sect, were certainly more powerful than those of the Huangfu Sacred Sect, right?
Tan Yun seemed able to see through everyone's thoughts, but he did not expose them. Instead, he continued, "Second, I have thirteen different attribute cultivation methods here; from now on, you will cultivate these methods."
With a wave of his right arm, thirteen jade tablets flew out of the Qiankun Ring and hovered above the heads of the crowd.
These thirteen jade tablets were inscribed with the names of the gold immortal secret realm, wood immortal secret canon, water immortal canon, fire immortal secret realm, earth immortal canon, wind immortal canon, thunder immortal canon, ancient immortal canon, beast immortal canon, time immortal canon, space immortal canon, death evil canon, and light divine canon—thirteen cultivation methods leading to transcendence and ascension!
"The methods inside are what you will cultivate from now on. Take one hour to memorize the content of the method that suits your cultivation."
"Once memorized, focus entirely on cultivation to enhance your strength. Furthermore, these methods must not be passed on to anyone outside our sect. Those who break this rule will face extermination of their entire clan according to sect regulations!"
Upon hearing this, everyone responded in unison, and then, full of curiosity, they released their spiritual sense to enter the jade tablets!
Soon, the expressions of all the high-ranking officials and disciples transitioned from calm to excited, and then from excitement to an exhilarating tremor!
"Ah! This method is truly powerful; there is probably no force on the Heavenly Punishment Continent that possesses cultivation methods stronger than those of the Huangfu Sacred Sect!"
