181: Compromise and Countermeasures

“What do you mean?”

Jade Pivot Holy Master frowned and asked.

“The mastermind is very mysterious, but it shouldn’t be Netherworld First Grade Hall, and of course, it has nothing to do with Tianxuan Holy Land.”

The Saintly Being of the Feng Family smiled slightly. Some time ago, the Feng Family allied with Tianxuan Holy Land to deal with Netherworld First Grade Hall, so their relationship was naturally good.

At this moment, he had come to clarify the truth of the matter for Tianxuan Holy Land.

Jade Pivot Holy Master said indifferently, “What the Feng Family’s Saintly Being said makes sense, but this is a matter between our Three Great Sacred Grounds of Eastern Linjieshi and Tianxuan Holy Land. It’s better for the Feng Family not to interfere.”

Seeing the other party’s seemingly unyielding attitude, the Feng Family’s Saintly Being frowned slightly.

At this moment, Tianxuan Holy Lord took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

“The Old Ancestor has given instructions that Disciples of my Tianxuan Holy Land are not allowed to hand over the Tianxuan Sutra to other Holy Lands of the Big Dipper lineage.”

“Jade Pivot, you’d better give up! Your Three Holy Lands have probably already violated the wishes of your respective Old Ancestors!”

The expressions of the three Saint Lords, including Jade Pivot Holy Master, turned ugly.

“Celestial Jade Senior Brother, do you really want to act so stubbornly? Times have changed, and the Old Ancestor’s instructions are no longer applicable in this era.”

“I think it’s not impossible for us to make appropriate changes. It’s better than your Tianxuan Holy Son being killed by a mere Seven Fiend Star Envoys from that Netherworld First Grade Hall, isn’t it?”

These words undoubtedly enraged Tianxuan Holy Lord, making his expression instantly extremely gloomy.

“In short, it’s impossible!”

“There’s also Yaoguang Holy Land in the Southern Domain. If you have the ability, go and get the Shaking Light Scripture first, and then I will personally offer the Tianxuan Sutra! Otherwise, let’s go to war!”

Tianxuan Holy Lord’s attitude was extremely firm.

He could not possibly disobey the Old Ancestor’s instructions. Even if he wanted to break old rules, it was not something he alone could decide.

It required all the Old Ancestors of the entire Tianxuan Holy Land to emerge and discuss it together.

Moreover, in the Eastern Wilderness region, there was also Yaoguang Holy Land in the Southern Domain. These three parties didn’t target Yaoguang Holy Land first, but instead came to pressure his Tianxuan Holy Land. Didn’t they just think his Tianxuan Holy Land was a soft persimmon?

Such excessive bullying, who could tolerate it?

Upon hearing this, the three Saint Lords, Jade Balance, Open Yang, and Celestial Balance, exchanged glances. They indeed felt that Celestial Pivot was easier to handle, which was why they targeted Celestial Pivot first.

If they held the ancient scriptures of the Big Dipper’s four lineages, their right to speak would naturally be greater, and it would also be more enticing. Things would be easier to handle then.

The key was to find a Breakthrough point.

Originally, Tianxuan Holy Land was the best Breakthrough point, but now that Tianxuan Holy Lord was so firm, it made them frown repeatedly.

“Hehe, since Celestial Jade Senior Brother said so, then we will first visit Yaoguang Holy Land.”

Jade Pivot Holy Master suddenly smiled.

His words made Kaiyang Holy Lord and Tianquan Holy Lord a little stunned.

Are they just leaving like this? To visit Yaoguang Holy Land? The problem is that Yaoguang Holy Land is even harder to provoke…

However, Jade Pivot Holy Master immediately sent a secret message to the two, apparently having a plan already.

“I hope Celestial Jade Senior Brother will keep his word then.” Jade Pivot Holy Master said meaningfully.

Tianxuan Holy Lord frowned and said coldly, “If Yaoguang Holy Land hands over the Shaking Light Scripture to you, then what if I hand over the Tianxuan Sutra?”

Of course, he didn’t believe that Yaoguang Holy Land would readily hand over its inheritance, and Yaoguang Holy Land possessed an supreme emperor weapon.

An supreme emperor weapon!

Among the Beidou Seven Great Holy Lands, his Tianxuan did not have one, nor did the Three Holy Lands of Eastern Linjieshi. The two Holy Lands on the Boundless Sea each had one, but they were half-supreme emperor weapons that had been split apart.

So, in a sense, Yaoguang Holy Land was particularly strong among the Seven Great Holy Lands.

If these three parties provoked Yaoguang Holy Land, the other side might not consider their shared origin in the Big Dipper, and moreover… for the Three Holy Lands to demand the Shaking Light Scripture? It would be more like them giving their own Cultivation Techniques to Yaoguang.

The Cultivators from the Three Holy Lands outside Tianxuan Holy Land soon left.

Some Cultivators hidden in the dark were somewhat disappointed. Although there was indeed a battle, these Three Great Sacred Grounds were still very wary of Tianxuan, not daring to strike a fatal blow, but rather more of a threat and coercion.

And with the arrival of the Feng Family, the Three Holy Lands had to give some Face, and perhaps withdrew because of it.

More people were curious as to why the Three Holy Lands of Eastern Linjieshi wanted the Tianxuan Sutra from Tianxuan Holy Land.

Could it be that there was some special connection between the Cultivation Technique inheritances of these seven Big Dipper Holy Lands?

...

“These fellows…”

Looking at the departure of the people from the Three Holy Lands, Tianxuan Holy Lord’s brows remained furrowed.

He felt it was necessary to thoroughly understand what special relationship the Tianxuan Sutra had with the other Big Dipper lineage Cultivation Techniques, and what would happen if they were combined.

Although he was a Saint Lord, he actually didn't understand much about this aspect. Generally, only the Old Ancestors with the highest seniority in the Holy Land would know.

Before long, Tianxuan Holy Lord went to see a half-awakened Old Ancestor, asked about the matter, and received an answer.

When he came out again, his Face became unpredictable.

“I didn’t expect that after the seven ancient scriptures are merged, they would hide such a world-shattering method. If it’s true… what are they trying to do?”

“That path… it shouldn’t be time to open yet.”

Tianxuan Holy Lord’s expression was solemn. He already knew what kind of secret the true Big Dipper Cultivation Technique recorded, and that was the true core.

No wonder the immensely powerful Big Dipper Holy Land in ancient times was forced to split into seven; it must have been out of helplessness.

“Let’s put these matters aside for now; it’s not yet time.”

“The Boundless Sea summit is approaching, and my Tianxuan Holy Land cannot be without someone to fight.”

“One Holy Daughter is not enough. If only there was a powerful Holy Son.” Tianxuan Holy Lord sighed faintly, feeling quite helpless.

In his era, he himself was not the top Tianjiao in the Eastern Wilderness, but rather on the upper-middle level.

Perhaps this was related to the Luck of Tianxuan Holy Land.

When the Big Dipper Holy Land split into seven, the “Luck” that Tianxuan took away was not much, placing it in the lower-middle tier among the Seven Great Holy Lands.

The Luck of the Three Holy Lands of Eastern Linjieshi was even lower, which is why these three parties have always been united, as only then could they strengthen their Luck.

Limited Luck led to the Disciples of each generation, including those of Tianxuan Holy Land, not being particularly outstanding.

“In addition, we need to recruit some powerful Tianjiao. This can be achieved by taking advantage of our proximity; many forces in the Eastern Wilderness should give me Face.”

It was thought that the storm regarding the war between the four Holy Lands had subsided, but within three days, the Three Holy Lands returned.

“Yaoguang Holy Land has made the same choice as us.”

Jade Pivot Holy Master smiled slightly: “Now, it’s your turn, Celestial Jade Senior Brother.”

Tianxuan Holy Lord frowned and said in a deep voice, “You obtained the Shaking Light Scripture? Impossible!”

“Why impossible? Yaoguang is not as rigid as Tianxuan.”

“Now we have mastered four ancient scriptures. As long as Celestial Jade Senior Brother hands over the Tianxuan Sutra, we are willing to share it with you.”

Jade Pivot Holy Master spoke with a smile, as if it were truly as he said.

Immediately, Tianxuan Holy Lord’s eyes became dark and uncertain.

“I don’t believe you obtained the Shaking Light Scripture.” Tianxuan Holy Lord shook his head with a sullen Face.

“Whether you believe it or not, you have to. Now it’s time for you to fulfill your promise.”

Jade Pivot Holy Master’s smile gradually turned cold.

In his team, several powerful and ancient auras emerged.
