Chapter 1201: Draw Lots

Jiang Fan's pupils constricted. He thought he had misheard."Giant Emperor?"

The Giant Emperor mentioned here should be a Great Sage from the Central Plains!There's a living Great Sage in the Tianshan battlefield?This... this is too horrifying!

Biluo nodded repeatedly, saying gravely, "That's right!""My master explicitly stated that during the great decisive battle back then, there was an almost invincible Giant Emperor.""He was unstoppable; he alone swayed the entire war.""To stop him, a Great Sage self-detonated, perishing with him.""However, while the Central Plains' Great Sage fell, the Giant Emperor did not. It only sustained severe injuries.""Coincidentally, at that time, the war ended, and the ancient giants retreated back to the Celestial Realm along the sky-reaching black pillars.""Unable to retreat, he remained forever in the Central Plains, on that battlefield."

Jiang Fan was beyond shocked.The Great Sage's self-detonation in the Tianshan battlefield was actually to eliminate a Giant Emperor!And it ended in failure.

However, he raised an eyebrow slightly: "If he was severely wounded, why didn't the Central Plains kill him after the war ended?""Even if all the Sages of Taicang Great State were depleted, the other eight states should still have had some."There was no logical reason to leave such a massive threat alive.

Biluo shook her head: "My master once had similar confusion.""After the war, the Imperial Astronomy Bureau, established by the Sages, surprisingly didn't completely eliminate him.""Instead, they chose to seal him within the Tianshan battlefield, preventing him from coming out.""Now, a thousand years have passed.""That Giant Emperor might not be dead.""The Imperial Astronomy Bureau actually dares to open the seal; I truly don't know what they're thinking!"

Jiang Fan's heart couldn't help but waver.The Tianshan battlefield was actually so dangerous!Taking all the Nascent Soul realm cultivators from the Tianji Pavilion there wouldn't that be walking straight into a trap?However, recalling the Grand Wine Sacrificer's unfathomable depth,After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Fan said, "I'm still determined to go.""If you two don't wish to come along, then stay and guard the Tianji Pavilion."

The Grand Wine Sacrificer was definitely not someone who would act without considering the consequences; since he opened the Tianshan battlefield, there must be a reason.Seeing Jiang Fan's resolute decision, Biluo said, "Huangquan, you accompany them there.""I will guard the Tianji Pavilion."One of the couple had to stay to look after Xiao Hu.It was impossible for both of them to take risks.

Huangquan nodded: "Alright.""I will protect the Tianji Pavilion members for this journey."

Jiang Fan didn't make things difficult for the couple. He glanced at Huangquan and said, "Thank you."

*Rumble, rumble—*The sky suddenly became covered in dense, dark clouds, blanketing the boundless sky centered around the Tianji Pavilion.Several bolts of lightning struck successively in different directions.Many people were undergoing tribulation at the same time!It must have been the message from the identity tokens that made those holding the Lingtian Pills no longer hesitate.

Not long after.The immense commotion subsided.The names "Solitary Phoenix Immortal," "Leisure Cloud Cultivator," and "Fortune Immortal" appeared in the sky one after another.Jiang Fan's eyes showed surprise: "Eleven Lingtian Pills, and three people successfully underwent tribulation?""Truly a miracle!"It was originally a one-in-ten chance of survival, yet the current result was astonishingly good.

Biluo shook her head, saying, "It's understandable, though.""After all, Sage-level rules were released here, which subtly altered the surrounding world's luck."

Jiang Fan suddenly realized.So, the rules of a Sage-level cultivator could actually enhance the surrounding luck?This was truly unheard of.

He nodded and flew to the square.He saw three individuals, radiating Nascent Soul aura, surrounded by others as if by stars.They were Ye Banxia, You Yunzi, and Nangong Xiaoyun.All three had used the Lingtian Pill a second time, which should have made breakthrough more difficult.Yet, all succeeded!You Yunzi must be the Leisure Cloud Cultivator, symbolizing a carefree wanderer, which perfectly matched his personality and name.Solitary Phoenix Immortal...That should refer to Ye Banxia, right?He wondered what "Solitary Phoenix" symbolized.Then, the Fortune Immortal could only be Nangong Xiaoyun, the girl who loved to smile.Indeed, smiling girls never had bad luck.

"Jiang Fan, Heaven helps us!" The Tianji Pavilion Master was beaming with joy."The Tianshan battlefield is imminent, yet we now have three additional Nascent Soul realm cultivators."

Jiang Fan scanned the crowd and found that their strengths had all improved.Immortal Yunshang was the first to break through to the Four-Aperture Demon Emperor, the Tianji Pavilion Master reached the peak of the Three-Aperture Nascent Soul, and Slaveheart Demon Emperor entered the Three-Aperture Nascent Soul realm.Hua Wuying, Liu Qingxian, and Yue Mingzhu all reached the peak of the Two-Aperture Nascent Soul.Xia Chaoge, Chuyue, Liang Feiyan, and Fang Guzi reached the peak of the One-Aperture Nascent Soul.Adding the three newly promoted One-Aperture Nascent Soul cultivators,The new Tianji Pavilion, established just over a month ago, had transformed from a small sect with only one Nascent Soul realm Tianji Pavilion Master.It had become a medium-sized sect with fourteen Nascent Soul realm cultivators and Demon Emperors.If Biluo and Huangquan, both Seven-Aperture Nascent Soul cultivators, were also included,It could already be considered a large sect!

Jiang Fan showed a look of anticipation.He hoped that everyone would be able to reach a higher level after experiencing the Tianshan battlefield!Without further delay, Jiang Fan led the group to the underground palace and departed using the teleportation array.

The Tianshan Mountain Range.A vast, towering mountain range, hundreds of meters high and stretching endlessly, lay across the center of the continent.On its peak, an ancient hundred-meter-long Great Wall was visible to the naked eye.Within the mountains, corpse qi surged skyward, and black clouds swirled.An boundless golden light barrier also enveloped the entire mountain range.

Beside the mountain range, the Grand Wine Sacrificer held a bamboo cylinder.Inside were a hundred bamboo slips.Engraved on them were the names of the major sects of Taicang Great State.The Grand Wine Sacrificer said, "Your disciples have all been meticulously trained by you Venerables.""If anything were to happen to them in our Taicang Great State, we couldn't afford any delays.""Therefore, let them act together with the sects of our Taicang Great State.""It will be decided by drawing lots.""Whichever sect you draw, your disciples will follow that sect."

Demon Lord Wanjun's gaze shifted.How could the Grand Wine Sacrificer be worried about the safety of their disciples?He was clearly finding ways to secure as many benefits as possible for Taicang Great State's forces.The disciples brought by these Venerables were all personally trained, possessing extraordinary abilities and immense strength.If they were allowed to act alone, how could Taicang Great State's disciples possibly contend with them for resources?Therefore, under the pretext of safety, he made their disciples, for example, join other sects for joint operations.This way, if their disciples discovered any opportunities, they would be forced to share them with the accompanying sect.This point was understandable.If people from Taicang Great State were to come to their states to seize opportunities, they would only be more excessive.

Looking at the dense bamboo slips in the cylinder.The Venerables from other states all hoped to draw one of the smaller sects.Some small sects only had one Nascent Soul realm cultivator in their entire lineage.Moreover, they were only One-Aperture Nascent Souls.If they cooperated with such a sect, how could the other party have the strength to contend for valuable items their disciples found?"Draw," Vice Palace Master You said, "I'll go first." He drew a bamboo slip.His mouth twitched when he saw it was the Great Yin Sect, one of the Three Divine Sects.Venerable Zixiao said, "Watch me?"He casually drew a slip, but it was Sanqing Mountain, one of the Seven Great Cults.He couldn't help but give a wry smile.Next, several Venerables drew slips in succession.To their dismay, what they drew were either the Three Divine Sects or the Seven Great Cults.They understood that the Grand Wine Sacrificer had secretly manipulated the draws.They shouldn't even think about drawing a small sect.

Demon Lord Wanjun snorted, silently activating his bloodline talent to counteract the Grand Wine Sacrificer's influence.Then, he casually grabbed a slip.A sect named "Tianji Pavilion" appeared before his eyes.Demon Lord Wanjun paused, then immediately pulled out the list of Taicang Great State's sects.He only found it at the very end, and exclaimed in surprise, "Hahahaha! It's actually a new sect established only a month ago!""Its predecessor was a negligible sect with only one One-Aperture Nascent Soul cultivator!"This result left the other Venerables unable to remain calm.Why was Demon Lord Wanjun so lucky?
