The Great Void Sect’s bizarre silence puzzled everyone else in the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses.
It would be understandable if they were limiting their confrontations within a certain buffer to prevent an internal conflict from erupting within the Divine Lands, but they did not even attempt seeking answers from the Celestial Sect, which was truly perturbing.
For the Great Void Sect, this was a brilliant opportunity to unite the other human forces of the Divine Lands, prying them away from their alliance with the Celestial sect, and to gradually impede the Celestial Sect from consolidating all of the Divine Lands’ strength. The Celestial Sect Leader voluntarily committed a blunder and presented this gift to their doorstep. A chance like this was extremely hard to come by.
One might be met with disaster if one does not accept Heaven’s gifts. If the Great Void Sect does not seize this opportunity, it would seem even weaker compared to the Celestial Sect, which would inevitably disappoint the other human forces of the Divine Lands.
Although the other human forces were suspicious of Lin Feng’s actions, they could only suppress these doubts in the absence of the Great Void Sect leading the front to maintain the stability of the situation.
If the Celestial Sect was indeed colluding with the Hades Tribe, the seeds of suspicion would germinate and grow, naturally sprouting out when the time is ripe. But if the Celestial Sect did not have such a relationship with the Hades Tribe, there would be a day when the truth finally surfaces. The longer it takes, the more likely it is to happen. When the time comes, the truth would dispel all the previous suspicions, and the current problems would be eradicated.
However, the consequences of the Great Void Sect’s current state of silence and inaction would continue playing out.
It would be fine if a major change occurs which allows the Great Void Sect’s abilities and influence to surpass that of the Celestial Sect in the future. Otherwise, the strong will get stronger while the weak becomes weaker.
But regardless of what the various human and demon powerhouses in the Grand Celestial World think, the Great Void Sect ultimately chose to remain mum, maintaining their state of seclusion, seemingly unfazed by the developments in the outside world.
And as the other party directly involved in the matter, the Hades Tribe’s reaction offered more food for thought. They neither confirmed nor denied the accusations. They also remained silent.
Previously, when word that a Hades Beast had become the Celestial Sect Leader’s Immediate Disciple spread, their initial reactions were interpreted as dejection, frustration and humiliation.
And now, with the fact that the Hades Beast in question was the son of the former Hades Emperor Tian Hai, their attitude changed entirely, assuming a considerably ambiguous stance.
The intensity at which the other parties in the Grand Celestial World was monitoring this issue also influenced the Hades Tribe’s attitude.
After the War of the Two Worlds, the state of both worlds, which was gradually resuming its former stability and peace, was slowly becoming chaotic again.
And in the Barren Expanses, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage took in everything that happened, then observed the Great Void Sect’s peculiar reaction, and sank deep into thought.
“Long Ye, summon your Uncle over,” said the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage suddenly. “I have other things I need him to do.”
Long Ye appeared beside her and nodded. “Yes, Master. I’ll call him at once.”
She paused, then blurted out, “Master, why hasn’t the Great Void Sect done anything? They’ve sealed themselves out, but they have not severed all communications with the outside world. They have no reason to remain silent with this issue causing such an uproar. Even if there are things we don’t know about this matter, they should not affect the Great Void Sect’s ability to unite the other human forces against the Celestial Sect. After all, they’ve observed the reactions of the Celestial Sect and the Hades Tribe, and the Big Luo Hades is truly the Hades Emperor’s son.”
The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage replied calmly. “The reason for the Great Void Sect’s silence may not be related to the matter at hand. There may be other issues or circumstances influencing their decision. If my predictions are right, the Great Void Sect might have certain secrets or fatal flaws which the Celestial Sect Leader has now grasped.”
Upon hearing this, Long Ye began thinking. “What kinds of secrets would they be for the Great Void Sect to become so timid and meek? If these flaws hold so much power, then the Great Void Sect would be completely helpless against the Celestial Sect. Is conceding their only option?”
The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage replied, “These secrets shouldn’t be able to deal any actual damage to the Great Void Sect. It’s more likely to be something that could ruin their reputation, which explains their silence towards similar problems. Of course, they’re not as powerful as they used to be. From the looks of it, we can just leave things as they are. This is merely a casual move to mix things up, and even if our plan doesn’t work, we have nothing much to lose.”
She chuckled, “The Celestial Sect Leader knows that we leaked the news out, and he knows a few of your secrets, Master, like your true form and your innate abhijina.”
The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was the most mysterious great demon in the history of the Barren Expanses in the recent millenia. Before this, no one even knew her previous identity before she turned into a demon.
Mo Yunzi’s relationship with the Hades Empress naturally caught the Hades Tribe’s attention, which has been eyeing her ever since.
Under such circumstances, proving herself was not easy even with Ning Wan’ge as her alibi. She could only tide it over after multiple retellings of her story.
But just like Big Luo’s matter, her story naturally aroused suspicions in the hearts of many, including the powerful demons under her rule. However, her strict control allowed her to handle the situation and hence, she was not bothered by this right from the beginning.
What bothered her was, both the Celestial Sect and the Hades Tribe knew about the news that she received about the Hades Tribe’s remnant treasures in the Outer Realm. If this piece of news was leaked out, it would naturally alert the other demon tribes about the Spirit Sea. All of them would cast their covetous eyes on the prize. After all, compared to the Celestial Sect or the Hades Tribe, her forces were the weakest.
If the Celestial Sect and the Hades Tribe remained mum about the Spirit Sea to prevent too many parties from interfering, then they would likely leak the news about the Spirit Sea after she exposed Big Luo. That way, more people would help them track down the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage. As powerful as her concealment abilities are, she would be trapped in a more difficult situation.
However, all these were within the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage’s predictions. Even if the Celestial Sect and the Hades Tribe did not act, she would leak the news herself. She simply wanted to observe how Big Luo’s issue develops and see the reactions of the Great Void Sect and the other human forces of the Divine Lands.
With the Great Void Sect maintaining their state of silence, she has no need to wait any longer.
After the Sirius Grand Sage returned, the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage gently flicked her finger, and a few rays of flowing light landed before him. “Sirius, disperse these.”
The Sirius Grand Sage and Long Ye’s eyes flashed. “We finally discovered the method to enter the Spirit Sea. Now that we’ve received this grand opportunity, are we simply going to present this information to others for free?”
The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage smiled gently. “Don’t worry, I’ve already reserved a portion of it for ourselves, but we’ll need more time to prepare. Even though the Spirit Sea is about to reopen soon, there’s still no need to hurry.”
“Naturally, there’s a reason for releasing everything else to the public. The Celestial Sect, the Hades Tribe and the Great Void Sect all want a piece of the prize. The more chaotic the situation, the better, and the greater our chances would be. Otherwise, it would be too effortless for the three forces which already possess overwhelming advantages.”
The Sirius Grand Sage and Long Ye both nodded. Long Ye replied, “Then we’ll have to ensure that those things do not land in the hands of the three parties, or the situation would exacerbate.”
The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage looked at the Sirius Grand Sage. He snickered, “That’s obvious. I’ll exercise proper caution, but I must admit that these three forces are already strong by themselves if we disregard the current matter about the Spirit Sea. It’s difficult to ensure that they won’t seize those things from the hands of others.”
“Well, is there anything in this world that can be done without any risk? These three parties are burdened with layered and unresolvable complications, each restraining the other. It’s not hard for the others to guard their possessions against them,” said the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage.
“Naturally, the best result for us would be to control the Spirit Sea. Or else, no one else should get it, and we can patiently await the next opportunity. It would still be a decent conclusion. The third-best ending would be for neither of the three dominant forces to obtain the control over the Spirit Sea. Even if another party seizes it, the state of the Grand Celestial World would only become more chaotic.”
“However, the worst-possible scenario would be for the Spirit Sea to be occupied by any of the three dominant forces.”
The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage gestured to the Sirius Grand Sage. “Sirius, I’ll leave it to you. Even though the news should be spread around as much as possible, we’ll have to take extra care to conceal our movements and keep a low profile. Do be careful.”
The Sirius Grand Sage nodded and answered, “I understand.”
“I suppose it’ll be extremely lively when the Spirit Sea reopens.” The Heavenly Charms Grand Sage mumbled to herself as she gazed at the distant void space.
Just as expected, before Big Luo’s controversy even died down, various rumors surrounding the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage began spreading through the Grand Celestial World, and the information was far more vivid and detailed than Big Luo’s. It ranged from the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage’s origins to the unique features of her innate abhijina. Not a single detail from the various experiences of her life was missed, with each detail being as exact as possible, overwhelming the public.
Just as everyone was debating whether the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage was now the spokesperson of the Grand Celestial World after the Hades Tribe concealed themselves in the Obsidian Realm, another major headline sprung up from the Barren Expanses. The Spirit Sea of the Grand Celestial Seven Seas was about to open!
This piece of ground-breaking news was accompanied by information of the location and identity of a few treasures which would grant access to the Spirit Sea after it opens!
In an instant, the entire Grand Celestial World sizzled with excitement.
Not long after the War of the Two Worlds, the situation was heating up once again. Both the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses were overflowing with ambition and bloodlust.
In the skies above the Kunlun Mountains, atop the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree on Mount Yujing, Lin Feng had already returned to the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World at the top of the tree. He appeared calm as his vision travelled through the lazy void space. “Spirit Sea, Hey!”
He flipped his palms open and revealed a few purple crystals and scarlet jade pieces laying quietly in the centre of his palms, sparkling lustrously.
