Chapter 1763: A Holy Profound Sect in the Chaotic World, Snow Stands on Four Tombs Mountain in Purple Attire

"Saint Emperor!""Another Saint Emperor?"From the direction of Four Mausoleum Mountain, a dragon's roar suddenly echoed, unleashing Saint Emperor-level pressure.Everyone was astonished!Are Half-Saints no longer worthy?What special day was it today that Saint Emperors, rarely seen on normal days, were all coming out to stretch their legs?

"A dragon's roar..."When Feng Zhongzui turned his Transmission Mirror, it was too far away to capture anything.Disciples of the Feng family were already rushing to the Four Mausoleum Mountain site.At the same time, he began to receive a stream of related information:"The Saint Palace, the Saint Profound Gate..."

It was widely known that the Saint Palace, as the continent's highest academy, specialized in training Half-Saint level talents for the five regions and rarely interfered in external affairs.Its purpose was, in fact, the same as the original intention of the Saint God Temple.It was to preserve a portion—half—of the most primordial power left behind by the Saint Ancestor!Ostensibly, the Saint God Temple had no Saint Emperors, but it was backed by the five great Saint Emperor families.The Saint Palace did not have many hidden manipulators, yet it held significant influence on the continent because it inherently possessed Saint Emperors.Two of them!And Saint Emperors who lived directly on the Saint God Continent!

Feng Zhongzui felt as though he had read this intelligence before, yet hearing it now, it struck him as if for the very first time, leaving him profoundly shaken:"If I recall correctly...""Among the five branches of the Saint Palace, the Jinzhao, Shengshou, and Fahhui branches are primarily known for their Half-Saints, already sufficient to settle matters across the five regions.""Moving higher, the Bailou branch guards the Saint Profound Gate of the Saint Palace, within which the Saint Emperor White Dragon has long resided, wielding the power of the primordial Dragon Ancestor!""And the Divine Spirit branch, the foremost of the Saint Palace's five branches, is led by the Saint Emperor Purple Pet, protecting the other half of the most primordial Saint Ancestor power, just like the Saint God Temple?"

Saint Emperor White Dragon!Saint Emperor Purple Pet!Honestly, Feng Zhongzui had never even seen a portrait of them before, let alone heard much about these two names.Yet, as soon as the Saint Slaves melted the Sky Ladder and the Void Island emerged, the Saint Palace moved.What did this signify?If the four Saint Emperors of the Void Island were self-taught, even restricted from "returning home" and only able to manifest as avatars of consciousness,And the Saint Emperors of the five great Saint Emperor families were high above the clouds, not intervening in minor matters, and intercepted from providing timely assistance in major ones,Then these two Saint Emperors of the Saint Palace must be the regular forces permanently stationed on the Saint God Continent, its guardian deities.Now, with the world in turmoil, the Saint Palace, despite its desire to remain neutral, had no choice but to take a stand.So, what was their stance?

At this thought, a tremor entered Feng Zhongzui's voice, a tremor of someone who relishes chaos:"Is the Saint Palace also going to take a stand against the Saint Slaves?""Senior White Dragon!"The Saint Palace, Saint Profound Gate.Unlike the Tiansang Spirit Palace's clumsy imitation, the Profound Gate, which required Dean Ye Xiaotian to use spatial power to maintain the "gate" and the "passage between the gate and realms,"The Saint Profound Gate was immensely wide, towering into the clouds, capable of allowing colossal beings to pass through. It was embedded in a cliff face, entirely crafted from white jade, with a silver waterfall as its curtain, shrouded in misty clouds.Thundering currents poured down, stirring ripples in the Saint Silver Pond beneath the waterfall.Ye Xiaotian stood in mid-air, calling out loudly:"Senior White Dragon, this is merely a war between the Saint God Temple and the Saint Slaves. I assure you, it will not affect our Saint Palace.""Therefore, there's no need for you to intervene!"

The moment the Void Island descended,And the Demonic Emperor Black Dragon's roar erupted,The Half-Saints from the other three branches on Four Mausoleum Mountain hadn't even reacted before Ye Xiaotian had instantly appeared in front of the Saint Palace's Saint Profound Gate, moving from his small thatched hut in Tiansang Spirit Palace.Spatial transcendence?A step ahead!This move, of course, was not made by Ye Xiaotian to join the battle.On the contrary, he wanted to buy time for Elder Sang and Xu Xiaoshou, to secure an opportunity and a moment of respite.And regarding the current battlefield situation across the five regions, viewing it from the perspective of a high-ranking individual who had managed the Tiansang Spirit Palace, Ye Xiaotian could roughly discern the state of affairs:"Elder Yu has become a Saint Emperor, and Kunpeng has just emerged from the sea. Those cultivating on the Sky Ladder are weakened, leading to a month-long stalemate with no end in sight.""The five great Saint Emperor families are preoccupied with their own affairs, and the Saint Slaves are seizing the opportunity to control the continent, seemingly having planned this for a long time.""However, I know Elder Sang, and I also know Ba Zun'an. Neither of them are people who indiscriminately kill innocents. Their aim is not merely to gain 'fairness,' but to gain a voice.""At this time, if you intervene in the battle, you risk disrupting the balance, becoming a target for all, and becoming the strongest weapon others use to slaughter each other... it would be a thankless task!"

Ye Xiaotian pleaded earnestly, even squeezing out a few genuine tears!On one hand, he worried about Sang Qiye and Xu Xiaoshou.On the other hand, Senior White Dragon was indispensable to his own achievements.At the very least, if not for White Dragon's intervention back then, he would have been slain by the relentlessly pursuing Saint Emperor Rao Wangze right at the Saint Palace gates.Both sides were equally dear to him.How could they possibly fight each other?If they started fighting, wouldn't it only benefit those stuck on the Sky Ladder who couldn't descend?

Snowflakes descended.Even the Half-Saint master of spatial mysteries did not notice the faint sound.High up on the cliff, on a snow-dusted Saint Silver Tree, a little girl suddenly appeared, bare-footed on a branch. She looked like a delicately carved jade figurine.She wore a purple-patterned silk robe, her skin was tender, and she had two purple hair buns on the back of her head. Her finger lightly tapped her lips.At that moment, she was curiously observing the white-haired Daoist boy below, who was roughly her height. Her large purple eyes rotated as she made thoughtful "hmm" sounds:"Ye Xiaotian..."The little purple-clad girl's murmur did not catch Ye Xiaotian's attention in the slightest.

Instead, from behind the waterfall, the Saint Profound Gate suddenly surged with power, its array rippling as a colossal jade-white dragon head emerged from it:"Oooooooh—"A clear dragon's roar stopped the elders of the Saint Palace's three branches who were rushing towards the Saint Profound Gate from all directions; clearly, White Dragon disliked noise.The dragon's head pierced through the void, first glancing at the sky, then sweeping past the Saint Silver Tree before lowering itself towards the white-haired Daoist boy in the low air."Senior White Dragon!"Ye Xiaotian respectfully saluted, not daring to be negligent.Saint Emperor White Dragon's entire body was jade-white, her scales shimmering with light, exuding extreme holiness. Even her human-mimicking voice was exceptionally clear and pleasant:"Ye Xiaotian, do you know...""The Saint Slaves melting the Sky Ladder and grievances emerging from the Buddhist Pagoda—it was meant to suppress their demonic nature, but they were instead thrown into chaos. Such a desperate gamble means the heavens will change.""The heavens changing, will fortune then favor the Saint Slaves?""No."

Saint Emperor White Dragon swayed her dragon body, murmuring to herself in a self-questioning and self-answering manner, while gracefully emerging from the rippling array of the Saint Profound Gate, intelligent and elegant:"If Ba Zun'an were to gain fortune, then Hua Changdeng could not defeat him.""If the Saint Slaves were to gain fortune, they wouldn't need to accumulate strength for years.""What you say is heartfelt and genuine, but also narrow-minded and somewhat one-sided.""Suppose the Saint Slaves become insatiably greedy, their ambitions growing even further during their control of the five regions, perhaps even coveting our Saint Palace's Dragon Ancestor and Saint Ancestor power. If we do not act now, we will inevitably be restrained by others in the future."She spoke at length, without any Saint Emperor airs.After her thorough explanation, Ye Xiaotian's emotions calmed significantly.

However, emotionally he could not calm down; he still wanted to contend for more:"I know Sang Qiye!""Sang Qiye is my friend, and Senior White Dragon, you also know this person. He may have 'betrayed' the Saint Palace...""But if he truly had betrayed the Saint Palace, the genuinely passionate few from the Jinzhao branch, Half-Saint Longrong, and Half-Saint Mulin, would never have acknowledged him.""The truth is not like that!""Behind closed doors, among ourselves... our relationship is still very good, and I know what he wants to do; it won't affect the Saint Palace!"With outsiders, one discussed logic.With one's own people, it was purely about emotion.Ye Xiaotian knew he appeared a little agitated, even using his hands and feet, but he did so intentionally.Because he could not allow the Saint Emperors of the Saint Palace to attack the Saint Slaves.The Saint Emperors of the five great Saint Emperor families were either hiding or cultivating, and none of them might be in their prime condition.Lord White Dragon and Lord Purple Pet, however, were entirely different!Once they decided to act, once they chose a battlefield, they only needed to sacrifice the lives and environment of that specific area...One move could be their full power.A single, fatal blow.Sang Qiye wouldn't even be able to move; how could he possibly withstand a blow from Lord White Dragon—even Rao Wangze had to show White Dragon respect!

In response, Saint Emperor White Dragon slightly shook her dragon head:"Human hearts are unfathomable."Ye Xiaotian slapped his thigh:"I can fathom them!""I can't guarantee for others, but if I can't fathom Sang Qiye and Xu Xiaoshou, I'll bring you my head!"White Dragon fell silent.She disliked emotional displays.However, she had indeed heard a little about the bond between the Saint Palace's four disciples, and at the moment, she didn't know how to reply to Ye Xiaotian.

Above the cliff waterfall, the Saint Silver Tree swayed.The little purple-clad girl leaped down, landing lightly on Saint Emperor White Dragon's head, and chuckled:"Sang and Xu might be predictable, but what about Ba Zun'an?"Ye Xiaotian's pupils trembled, and he quickly clasped his hands in greeting: "Greetings, Lord Purple Pet!""Oh, no need for formalities."The little girl with purple hair buns waved her hand with a haughty air. "Let's talk about Ba Zun'an again. How much do you know about this person?"Ye Xiaotian quickly said: "Ancient sword cultivators are always direct. Ba Zun'an lives up to his name; as long as the Saint Palace doesn't intervene, he will absolutely not act recklessly!""Oh? He sent you to deliver a threat?"Upon hearing this, Purple Pet's lips curled into a faint smile, her face turning frosty as she said, "What if, it's him that this Emperor wishes to suppress?"

Ye Xiaotian stiffened.Ah, no, that's not what I meant!Saint Emperor White Dragon's head trembled, emitting a low, annoyed roar, and the little girl burst into laughter, patting the dragon's horn:"Just kidding, Yu'er.""If we can avoid fighting, this princess doesn't want to clash with an ancient sword cultivator. He's seen Hua Weiyang many times; he's a monster.""As for you..."Purple Pet's eyes curved, squeezing out an ambiguous, teasing smile, "If you went there, that black loach might cling to you again. I advise you not to go out...""Roar—"Before she could finish, White Dragon's roar interrupted her.Ye Xiaotian feigned ignorance, looking down, as if he heard nothing.In truth, he knew; this was a secret that even the highest echelons of the Saint Palace hardly dared to discuss, yet it was incredibly enticing, making one eager to delve deeper.The Demonic Emperor Black Dragon and Saint Emperor White Dragon, during their cultivation in the Dragon Caverns, had a certain...

"Ye Xiaotian!""Huh?"Ye Xiaotian quickly snapped back to attention, his eyes unusually clear.It wasn't the slightly flustered Saint Emperor White Dragon speaking, but Lord Purple Pet. She squinted her smiling eyes and chuckled:"You say ancient sword cultivators are always direct, and you can say that about Xu Xiaoshou, right?""Uh..." Ye Xiaotian thought to himself that Xu Xiaoshou wasn't exactly a pure ancient sword cultivator; he should be considered an exception.Standing atop the dragon's head, Purple Pet had a higher vantage point. With a few concise words, she hit the nail on the head:"Even if you say 'direct,' fine.""Even if your previous heartfelt words are accurate, fine.""There's one thing you and Yu'er have both overlooked, and that's the premise—the four great Saint Emperor families are absolutely *not* too preoccupied with their own affairs!"

Saint Emperor White Dragon and Ye Xiaotian were both stunned.Purple Pet gave them no time to think. She paced on the dragon's head, twirling a small finger, and spoke calmly:"Moon Palace Qi desires to become a god and an ancestor. Different Saint Emperor statuses might offer some inspiration for retracing the Saint Ancestor's path, but it wouldn't be enough to break their seclusion and launch a full-scale attack.""That fellow, Gan Shi, is like a divine dragon whose head is seen but not its tail. I have no idea what he's thinking. It's likely Dao Qiongcang is just a pawn in his game, and the Saint Emperor status of that Kunpeng divine envoy might also be a good opportunity for him to stir up trouble.""Bei Huai is unpredictable. To say he wants to forge a new path from the way of the Medicine Ghost Twin Ancestors, thereby surpassing evil arts and establishing his own destiny, I can only say the road ahead is long, and I wish him success.""Only Hua Changdeng of Cloud Mountain..."

She paused, and a serious expression settled on Purple Pet's small face:"Everyone says ancient sword cultivators have limitless ambition, but they don't realize that those who cultivate this ambitious sword dao actually know better when to stop.""Of the five great Saint Emperor families, three are pursuing the Ancestral God realm. As for the remaining two, Rao Wangze is like a startled bird, flying into a moth-to-a-flame situation, seeking out dark influences and paving his own path to demise.""This Hua Changdeng, however, is troublesome..."

Ye Xiaotian waited for a moment.Lord Purple Pet actually stopped talking!She had spoken so much about the other Saint Emperors, stopping twice, yet she hadn't mentioned what made Hua Changdeng so troublesome!Ye Xiaotian grew impatient: "Lord Purple Pet, please don't keep us in suspense."This bad habit was truly annoying, like a flamboyant old master!

"Hehe."Purple Pet grinned and said admiringly, "Hua Changdeng dared to stop! Even I wanted to advance further, but he actually managed to suppress his temperament and plan things slowly.""Don't you humans have an old saying, 'achieve great things quietly'?""The silent ones are the most terrifying. Hua Changdeng is also intelligent; he probably figured out what your Ba Zun'an truly intends to do long ago.""He only recently became a Saint Emperor, and Yu Kunpeng also just recently became a Saint Emperor.""Setting aside the ancient sword cultivator's wildness and Kunpeng's foundation, comparatively, didn't Hua Changdeng become a Saint Emperor slightly before Kunpeng?""Life on the Sky Ladder isn't easy, a month's time..."As Purple Pet spoke, she pouted her lips, her fingertips unconsciously tapping. After a long moment, she shook her head, murmuring as if amused:"I don't know."

Ye Xiaotian's heart inexplicably sank.Could it be that Elder Yu had already met with misfortune?No, absolutely impossible. Not to mention Elder Yu's extraordinary foundation.Just looking at the other side, even if the remaining three of the five great Saint Emperor families wished to compete for the Ancestral God realm, they each still had a family to maintain.The great crab of the Murong Emperor Realm was already steamed and red; they wouldn't allow Yu Kunpeng to devour it whole, much less hand it over entirely to Hua Changdeng of Cloud Mountain.A month without a clear victor was perfectly normal.It wouldn't be surprising if the fight lasted a year, or even ten, until territories were re-planned and benefits re-distributed!

"Do you have an opinion?" Purple Pet glanced over, her large eyes glinting."Huh? I wouldn't dare."Ye Xiaotian wouldn't dare speak recklessly.His relationship with White Dragon was relatively close, so he dared to speak emotionally.He had only met Lord Purple Pet a few times and knew her to be a quirky spirit. To put it nicely, she was quirky and mischievous...To put it harshly, she was capricious!

On the dragon's head, Purple Pet did not hesitate for long.After a moment of thought, she adopted a tone that belied her delicate, doll-like appearance, stating unequivocally:"Yu'er, go back and stay in the Saint Profound Gate. Don't go outside looking for trouble.""Ye Xiaotian, issue an order for the Jinzhao, Shengshou, and Fahhui branches to adopt a defensive posture against the enemy, making a significant show of force.""Hmm, let Jinzhao's Hua... no, let Bailian take the lead and tell him to be a bit more uninhibited."Ye Xiaotian was startled.Did Senior Purple Pet mean she had considered letting Hua command many Half-Saints just now?"What about our Bailou branch?" he hastily asked."Hehe."A harmless smile appeared on Purple Pet's small face:"You, take me to Saint Mountain. I'll personally meet this Ba Zun'an.""This princess wants to see whether the ancient sword cultivator's sword is more direct, or my fists are."She threw a punch in the air, causing the air to vibrate and snowflakes to rustle down. It was immensely powerful:"Hah—"
