In the Void Divine Tower, Tan Yun entered, ignoring Cheng Kun and Fang Yuan's desperate pleas from the first floor of the Time-Space Divine Tower. He struggled to reach the second floor and entered Training Room No. 1, sitting cross-legged.
In the outside world, an hour later, signs of the night fading began to appear. With a smile as refreshing as a spring breeze, Tan Yun stepped out of the Time-Space Divine Tower.
"Come in," Tan Yun said lightly as he took his seat.
"Yes, Elder Supreme!" Zhan Se led over five hundred people into the hall, standing respectfully before Tan Yun.
"This Elder Supreme won’t waste words with you," Tan Yun stated. "Your actions over the years, along with Elder Three, may not be enough to incur the death penalty, but once the Sovereign learns of this, you will at least have your cultivation level abolished and be expelled from the Eastern Continent Divine Sect."
"Thud, thud—"
Over five hundred people knelt down, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads, their bodies drenched in cold sweat.
"Elder Supreme, we were blind to follow the wrong path. Please don’t tell the Sovereign!"
"Yes, Elder Supreme, I beg you. I have elderly dependents and young children. If my cultivation level is abolished and I am expelled from the Eastern Continent Divine Sect, my enemies will tear me to pieces!"
"Elder Supreme, I beg you for mercy!"
"…"
The elders and stewards, whether acting or not, were all weeping and terrified.
"You are making this Elder Supreme very troubled!" Tan Yun feigned a difficult expression. "Think about it; if I protect you, and the Sovereign finds out, would I still have a way to live?"
"What do you have that's worth me taking such a huge risk?"
The high-ranking officials were left speechless. Just then, Elder Five Zhan Se spoke up, "Elder Supreme, I know you’ve long lacked Supreme Ancestor Stones and have often gone to the Sea of Demons with Elder Two to hunt beasts."
"How about this? Each of us can contribute some Supreme Ancestor Stones to honor you."
"Just tell us how many Supreme Ancestor Stones you want. If we don’t have enough, we will find a way to gather them for you."
"Also, Elder Supreme, besides lacking Supreme Ancestor Stones, you must want other things. Just name them, and we will find them for you. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun secretly thought that Zhan Se was a bit clever.
"Alright, this Elder Supreme will give you a chance to reform," Tan Yun said. "Get up."
"Thank you, Elder Supreme." After the inner sect high-ranking officials stood up, they looked at Tan Yun, waiting for him to speak.
After thinking for a moment, Tan Yun said, "Here’s the deal: you over five hundred people need to bring me one hundred trillion Supreme Ancestor Stones before sunset in three days. Not one less."
The crowd gasped; they obviously couldn’t produce that many Supreme Ancestor Stones, but they had a way.
"Elder Supreme, although we don’t have that many, rest assured, we will deliver one hundred trillion Supreme Ancestor Stones before sunset in three days."
Tan Yun nodded. "The second condition is that I want ice and fire attribute fire seeds at the dao god level or above. The more, the better."
"Of course, the higher the grade, this Elder Supreme will buy at double the market price!"
After the group nodded in understanding, Tan Yun added, "The third condition…"
Tan Yun explained the third condition, asking them to find eleven types of refining materials. Naturally, he wanted to use these materials to reforge the primordial chaos god-slaying sword and the eleven primordial chaos divine swords.
After everyone took note, Tan Yun undoubtedly stated, "The fourth condition is to help me find a drop of Memory Ancestor Liquid."
"Remember, you must meet these four conditions by any means necessary, or you will bear the consequences!"
"Understood?"
The over five hundred inner sect high-ranking officials replied in unison, "Understood!"
"Then I will wait for your good news. I’m tired; you may leave now," Tan Yun waved his hand.
