Chapter 1071: Joining Forces
"How should we deal with the appearance of Tianding Realm?" the Battle Hall Master asked.
Even though the Human Race's Divine Ancestor had returned the ultimate treasures of Battle Hall and the others, the fact that he had casually lent the Divine Creation Disc to Long Fantian made the top powerhouses of the sacred halls feel a little threatened.
Furthermore, although they had all believed that the fate of the Human Race was based on their own struggles, the emergence of Tianding Realm had completely thrown their plans into disarray.
Despite the fact that they had all really welcomed the reappearance of this Divine Ancestor, they also felt some instinctive apprehension towards the martialists of Tianding Realm.
After all, Long Fantian had seized the Divine Creation Disc that belonged to Hong Meng Sacred Hall right off the bat.
Even though it was temporary, everyone knew that once this sort of treasure was lent out, it would basically be difficult to get it back.
"I feel that even though the Divine Ancestor is somewhat biased, he definitely wouldn't strike against us because of them." The Dark Hall Master spoke up rather leisurely. "After all, we are also the Divine Ancestor's disciples."
The Xuan Pin Sacred Hall Master coughed lightly. "Even though we are also considered the Divine Ancestor's disciples in name, in reality, we have never even seen the Divine Ancestor before."
"If we have a conflict with those people, I really don't believe that the Divine Ancestor will help us!"
"Does everyone remember how the 36 Great Cosmoses treated the martialists of the voids and ordinary cosmoses?"
"In the opinion of the martialists of the Great Cosmoses, they live in an upper realm, whereas the Human Race martialists of the voids and ordinary cosmoses are of a lower class."
"From what I see, even though Tianding Realm is also a Human Race realm, I fear that they wouldn't consider themselves part of the Human Race. Or perhaps, they consider themselves the Human Race from heaven."
The other hall masters fell silent when the Xuan Pin Sacred Hall Master said this. The people present were the strongest individuals in the Human Race. Although they loved to use strength to solve problems, this didn't mean that they were inadequate when it came to strategy.
Most ordinary matters of the Human Race basically didn't require the use of any strategies.
Hundreds of plans and thousands of schemes would just be jokes in the face of their overwhelming power.
However, things were different now. The emergence of Tianding Realm had made the strength they were so proud of seem much weaker.
"Yunyang, what's your view on this matter?" The Da Qian Master glanced at Luo Yunyang.
Hong Meng Sacred Hall had suffered the greatest loss this time. After all, Luo Yunyang had lost the Divine Creation Disc.
Nevertheless, Luo Yunyang's performance in the battle against the Ancient Six Families had made everyone acknowledge him. It was also because of this recognition that they valued Luo Yunyang's opinion.
Luo Yunyang looked up. "While the Divine Ancestor is inclined towards them, as long as we don't overstep our boundaries, Sir Divine Ancestor won't do anything to us. Therefore, right now, our priority is to increase our strength."
"The people of Tianding Realm are an assistance the Divine Ancestor relies on. The Divine Ancestor will also rely on us. Of course, if we can help the Divine Ancestor even more, then I believe that the Divine Ancestor will trust us the most."
Luo Yunyang's words seemed a little vague, but everyone present understood what Luo Yunyang meant. They just had to increase their power.
It would be best if they could raise it to a level that would make the Divine Ancestor apprehensive.
Of course, nobody said this last thought aloud.
The Da Qian Master and the others nodded. They were naturally aware that they had to strive to improve their strength right now.
If strength wasn't sufficient, even a thousand plans ultimately wouldn't be of much use.
However, at this level of cultivation, improving one's strength was very difficult. It could even be said that the hall masters basically had no possibility of raising the level of their strength.
They exchanged looks, but the first to speak up was the Xuan Pin Sacred Hall Master, who said, "Given our aptitude, trying to raise our cultivation base is practically impossible. I believe that amongst us, the only one capable of increasing his strength is Luo Yunyang."
"If Yunyang's strength can be raised from the Taishi Yuan Venerate to the Taichu Yuan Venerate, we will definitely be able to fight for greater rights."
"I remember that I owe you a cultivation chance within the Xuan Pin Gate for saving my disciple back then. How about we take advantage of the current circumstances and you let me pay you back?"
The eyes of the Da Qian Master and the others lit up when the Xuan Pin Sacred Hall Master said this. They all knew their own cultivation base the best.
While they had some room to advance, making progress was very difficult.
However, Luo Yunyang was different. Unlike them, he had just become a Taishi Yuan Venerate and he possessed an inestimable room to grow. As long as they were willing to provide Luo Yunyang with these opportunities, Luo Yunyang would definitely make rapid progress.
It could even be said that as long as they were happy to provide Luo Yunyang with these opportunities, Luo Yunyang's cultivation base would make rapid progress.
After that short silence, the Da Qian Master said, "I too hope that Yunyang can experience Da Qian Sacred Mirror's Da Qian Realm. At the very least, it should be able to give Yunyang some pointers about space."
The Battle Hall Master roared with laughter. "Since you have all said this much, Battle Hall cannot be selfish either."
"Yunyang, Battle Hall similarly hopes that you can come over and provide some guidance. My unworthy disciple has recently returned from the Mysterious Underworld Race. I am prepared to open up the Battle Yuan Realm for her and I hope you can take a look as well."
"Thank you for your kind intentions, everyone. Even though Hong Meng Sacred Hall's Divine Creation Disc has been taken, there are still other things that can be used. Recently, I prepared some newly-established secret realms and I would like to invite you to send over some outstanding disciples to take part."
Naturally, Luo Yunyang wouldn't give up an opportunity to raise his cultivation base. Long Fantian had come ferociously so if Luo Yunyang didn't make preparations, he would definitely suffer considerably.
The best preparation was to increase one's ability.
Although the secret realms of the four sacred halls would have considerable limitations given his current cultivation, this still beat cultivating on his own.
After various discussions, Luo Yunyang and the others left this small space. Although the five sacred halls had already undergone discussions regarding this matter, they still had to deal with their individual issues.
The atmosphere within Hong Meng Sacred Hall was stifling. After all, most Yuan Venerates could sense that the Divine Creation Disc was gone.
"Hall Master, the Divine Creation Disc is an important part of Hong Meng Sacred Hall. We must definitely think of ways to get it back!" the new Left Hall Master exclaimed.
The Divine Creation Disc was really important to Hong Meng Sacred Hall. Even though the Left Hall Master knew that Luo Yunyang wouldn't be in a good mood, he still couldn't just not mention it.
Luo Yunyang nodded and said. "I have my plans regarding this. I will get the Divine Creation Disc back soon."
"If you have any instructions, Hall Master, feel free to let us know. We will definitely accomplish what you need as best as we can!" the new Left Hall Master, who also knew that things weren't easy, told Luo Yunyang.
Luo Yunyang thanked the new Left Hall Master and entered his seclusion chambers once again before falling into deep thought.
Luo Yunyang didn't have any regrets regarding this confrontation with the Ancient Six Families. After all, even if the five sacred halls hadn't attacked the Ancient Six Families, the Ancient Six Families would have invaded the Human Race anyway.
What made him feel somewhat uncomfortable was the Human Race's Divine Ancestor. Even though he was the creator of the five great sacred halls and he had an unrivaled status within the five halls, deep down, Luo Yunyang still felt somewhat displeased with him.
The Divine Ancestor had taken the Divine Creation Disc that belonged to Hong Meng Sacred Hall and passed it to Long Fantian. This really showed a sort of bias.
Even though the Divine Creation Disc had been left behind by the Human Race's Divine Ancestor many years ago, he hadn't returned in a long time and his relationship with the five great sacred halls was no longer that close.
He had now meddled in the affairs of the five great sacred halls and taken away the Divine Creation Disc without even seeking out Luo Yunyang's opinion. From a certain aspect, this didn't seem that friendly.
Luo Yunyang had wanted to resist, but his cultivation base wasn't strong enough for him to move against the Human Race's Divine Ancestor. While Luo Yunyang had been very satisfied with his cultivation base previously, his urgency to improve his cultivation had gotten stronger.
Unfortunately, after reaching this sort of level, raising one's ability was a very tough task.
"Divine Elder, do you have any guidance for me if I want to ascend to the Taichu Yuan Venerate?" Luo Yunyang sought out the Divine Elder after pondering something.
If there was anyone within Hong Meng Sacred Hall that could give Luo Yunyang guidance, it would be the Divine Elder.
Even though the Divine Elder's power was mostly focused in Hong Meng Sacred Hall, he had still been around for a long time and had abundant experiences. If anybody could give Luo Yunyang some guidance, it would naturally be him.
"Even though going from the Taishi to the Taichu Yuan Venerate is only one step away, there aren't many people that can cross that distance in the entire Human Race. It can even be said that many Taichu Yuan Venerates would never accomplish that in their lives."
The Divine Elder said unhurriedly, "Given your aptitude, you can definitely achieve this if you cultivate slowly!"
"But we can't wait so long!" Luo Yunyang glanced at the Divine Elder as he spoke.
"There is a way, but it is too dangerous," the Divine Elder said softly. "There is absolutely no need for this given your aptitude!"
