Chapter 4599 Sea of Chaos
While the three thousand god kings were concentrating on their cultivation and healing, Ji Tianxing quietly left his residence.
Others come to participate in competitions and perform tasks, hoping to become famous and gain the favor and respect of the temple.
But he came here to inquire about information and investigate clues.
There were more than 7,000 god kings in the secret realm before, and there were many people and many eyes.
The defense power of the five giant peaks has also been increased several times, and they are heavily guarded to prevent any accidents.
Now that the elite competition is over, the three thousand elite god kings are practicing and healing in their residences, and the rest have also left.
All the peaks became quiet, and the alert on the five giant peaks was lifted and returned to normal.
Ji Tianxing finally got the chance. After quietly leaving his residence, he began to explore and investigate the five giant peaks.
Before that, he had observed the five giant peaks many times and investigated them for several days.
He also has a sufficient understanding of the formation pattern, patrolling and guarding of the five giant peaks.
Still, he had to proceed with caution, just in case.
After all, the five palace masters of the Shangqing Temple are all in the secret realm, sitting on their respective giant peaks.
Ji Tianxing sneaked into various giant peaks to inquire for information, and he was operating under the noses of the five palace masters. If he was not careful, he would be at risk of being exposed.
After careful consideration, he decided to make the giant peaks of the Fourth Hall Master and the Fifth Hall Master the primary target of investigation.
After all, he has personally met the Fourth Hall Master and the Fifth Hall Master and knows the strength of these two Hall Masters.
One is at the initial stage of the God-Emperor, probably condensing three Dao Rhymes, and the other is at the middle stage of the God-Emperor, probably condensing four Dao Rhymes.
In comparison, the strength of these two palace masters is low, so the chance of discovering him is not too great.
The first place Ji Tianxing sneaked into was the giant peak where the five hall masters were stationed.
The elite selection competition was held here before. He took advantage of the competition to study all the formations and defenses on the mountain top.
With confidence, he easily broke through the defenses and sneaked into the giant peak.
He remained invisible, hiding his own aura, and moved on the top of the giant mountain.
If it were another situation, he might capture a guard commander, torture him to extract a confession, or even directly refine his soul memory to get the information he wanted.
But it doesn't work now. If he assassinates a guard commander, he must seize his body, replace his identity, and continue to operate on the giant peak.
From now on, he will give up his identity as Su Juechen.
He has attracted the attention of the deputy hall master, two elders, and many god kings.
If 'Su Juechen' suddenly disappeared, everyone would definitely become suspicious.
Therefore, Ji Tianxing could only wander around the mountain top, secretly observing and monitoring those commander-level figures.
After three days of lurking and observing, he got some information from conversations with several guard commanders.
However, those news are all related to the "construction of the sixth giant peak and the shrine", and they no longer have much meaning.
On the fourth day, three elders came to the top of the giant mountain to meet with the Lord of the Five Halls to discuss some major matters.
Ji Tianxing weighed it for a moment, and finally made up his mind to secretly follow the three elders and sneak into the depths of the palace to monitor their conversation with the fifth hall master.
The fifth hall master met with the three elders in the study deep inside the palace.
Ji Tianxing hid outside the study, without alerting the many guards around him, and secretly listened to the conversation between the fifth hall master and the three elders.
Originally, he was worried that the fifth hall master might notice something strange.
But this is the secret realm of the Shangqing Dynasty, and it is also the home of the five hall masters who have lived for more than 20,000 years.
The Fifth Hall Master was not at all wary or vigilant, nor did he expect that someone would be so bold as to dare to eavesdrop on the conversation between him and the three elders.
Therefore, Ji Tianxing eavesdropped in the study for two hours, and the fifth hall master did not notice anything unusual.
As for the guards patrolling and standing guard around the study in the depths of the palace, they were all at the upper level God King level, and they were even less likely to spot Ji Tianxing.
The three elders came to the Fifth Hall Master to discuss the next task...that is, the earth-shattering event.
“Fifth Hall Master, we have received the news.
The main hall master said it himself, he will personally lead the team at that time, and the three hall masters, the fourth hall masters, and you will follow, leading three thousand elite god kings to the Sea of Chaos. "
"The second hall master and eight elders will stay in the Shangqing Secret Realm, and the other eight elders will follow the army to carry out the mission."
"Master of the Fifth Hall, you also know that we have been members of the temple for tens of thousands of years, and we have always worked hard and devoted ourselves to it.
Our loyalty to the temple can be judged by heaven and earth, and can be seen by the sun and moon. "
"With our talents and qualifications, the master of the main hall has long made the conclusion that we can only stop at the peak of the god king in this life.
Going to the Sea of Chaos is our last chance in this life.
I hope the Lord of the Fifth Hall can help us persuade the Lord of the Great Hall to let us follow the army. "
Obviously, the three elders came to the Fifth Hall Master for help.
They wanted the fifth hall master to intercede with the main hall master and take them with them to the Sea of Chaos.
Ji Tianxing kept their words in mind, especially the three words "Sea of Chaos", which aroused his greatest curiosity and attention.
"The master of the main hall personally leads the team, leaving only the masters of the second hall to guard the secret realm of Shangqing.
Four palace masters, eight elders, and three thousand elite god kings headed to the Sea of Chaos to carry out an earth-shattering mission? "
Connecting the mysterious mission with the elite selection competition, Ji Tianxing figured out the ins and outs and found this matter more and more strange.
Where is the Sea of Chaos?
Why does the Shangqing Temple attach so much importance to it, and why does it devote all its elite strength to go to the Sea of Chaos?
According to what the three elders said, they have been stuck at the peak of the divine kings their entire lives. Only by going to the Sea of Chaos can they have a chance to break through to the divine emperor realm?
While Ji Tianxing listened to the conversation between the fifth hall master and the three elders, his mind was running rapidly, analyzing and speculating on the truth.
At this time, the fifth hall master continued to say: "Three of you, you are all my seniors, even elders.
Before I failed to break through to the God Emperor realm, you all gave me some help and care.
Don't worry, I will never forget your help and kindness to me.
But if you come to me, it means that you have received the news and know which eight elders will follow the army.
Obviously, the master of the hall has already made his decision.
And the three of you are among the eight places left to stay in the Shangqing Secret Realm. "
The three elders were silent, unable to argue.
The Lord of the Fifth Palace sighed, and then continued: "Alas... I want to help you, but I am soft-spoken.
Among the five palace masters, I am the youngest, ranked last, and do not have much say.
In particular, the palace master did not let us discuss this matter and made a decision directly.
What I am today is entirely due to the cultivation and support of the main hall master.
Now that he has made a decision, how can I criticize him?
I can only promise you. If the master of the hall allows us to make suggestions and discussions, then I will definitely recommend you. How about it? "
