Their bodies are transparent, completely nonexistent in this space-time. Jiang Mo placed them in yesterday's space, and by distorting the river of time, he could also allow them to monitor everything that happened on the surface.
The effect is similar to a one-way mirror. They stand in the place of yesterday and can see the scene of today, while the people of today can only see the vast void and Jiang Mo slowly descending from the sky, but cannot see that there are four other shadows watching them.
"These... are the disciples of the Void Sword Sect?"
Yao Wang glanced at the seven people not far away, a look of surprise on his face.
As an ancient king, it could keenly sense Zhao Yi's power. Even when the sword intent was restrained to the extreme, it still made it uncomfortable.
Not only it, but the Yue brothers, Yue Min and Yue Li, also frowned repeatedly. As a demon race, they naturally disliked human sword cultivators and the swords that could break through their scales.
"Let's see what they plan to do; the Void Sword Sect is coming on strong..."
Having learned the details of the conversation from Jiang Mo, Xuan Hua's expression turned slightly grave. The fact that the other party demanded that Jiang Mo sever ties with the Flying Immortal Sect suggests that they had probably already set their sights on the faith of Flying Immortal County.
On the scene, Jiang Mo faced the seven people and smiled, "Alright, let me see the profound and wondrous abilities of your Sword Sect."
"I dare not accept such praise. Please, Venerable Master, be prepared."
Zhao Yi smiled broadly, took out a Bagua array from his pocket, and then unleashed sword energy from his body. Streams of silver, dragon-like sword energy, lifelike as if they had come to life, continuously drilled into the Bagua array to activate it.
"Boom!!!"
The array fully revived, surrounded by countless clouds and mists. Gradually, a blurry figure materialized. The person's appearance was unclear, and the surroundings were chaotic. Moreover, the figure was elusive and unstable, showing signs of collapse at any moment.
The suppression of the laws of Tianyuan was still too powerful. Even though this picture was created by a peerless Dao Lord, it was difficult to maintain contact.
Several minutes later, the disintegration of the figure abruptly stopped, as if it had frozen, and a sound came from the outer world.
"Disciple, why do you call me master?"
"Reporting to Master, this disciple has located the whereabouts of the three innate magical artifacts..."
Zhao Yi suddenly knelt down and respectfully reported everything that had happened not long ago.
Upon learning that the Book of Time, the Chaos Cauldron, and the Heavenly Heart Jade were all in the hands of the unfamiliar cultivator ahead, the figure that had begun to take shape slowly turned its head, its gaze falling on Jiang Mo, and greeted him in a dignified and weathered tone.
"I am Kong Mu, Sword Master of Zhenyang Sword Peak of Void Sword Sect. Greetings, fellow Daoist."
"No need for formalities, let's get straight to the point. What conditions can you offer?"
Jiang Mo smiled and made his position clear: "I can trade with your sect for the three innate magical artifacts, but only if I receive a sufficiently generous reward."
"Very well... I like straightforward people." The figure in the mist sighed softly and spoke again:
“Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment while I go and call some friends over.”
"can."
Jiang Mo waited patiently. Less than two minutes later, at Kong Mu's request, Zhao Yi unleashed more sword energy to stabilize the array's operation. His face turned pale, and his legs began to tremble.
Soon, five more figures appeared in the void, their status equal to or even higher than Kong Mu's. They were a vice sect master and four sword masters from the Sword Peak.
"Three innate magic artifacts, fellow Daoist, are you willing to hand them over?"
A mysterious being, suspected to be the deputy sect leader, inquired. Her voice was exceptionally clear and pleasant; she was a woman.
"Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a jade."
Jiang Mo smiled wryly and said, "How could I not know such a simple truth?"
"In this narrow human world, I am nothing more than a monkey ruling the mountain when there is no tiger. My cultivation is flawed. When Tianyuan enters the world in the future, my realm will drop and my combat power will be less than one-tenth of what it used to be. I am afraid that I will be torn apart by the wolfish ambitions of the Daye Dynasty and the Sunset Royal Court."
"Boom!!!"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Mo summoned three innate magical artifacts, their terrifying aura sweeping across the heavens and earth, causing billions of stars to suddenly dim.
The six important figures active within the array stared wide-eyed. In just a moment, they were certain that the three magical artifacts were genuine innate spiritual treasures.
"Rather than keeping this hot potato, I think it's best to let the capable person take it."
"We hope that your esteemed sect can lend a helping hand when our sect is in dire straits."
Jiang Mo feigned friendliness and flattery, yet his demeanor was incredibly smooth, without the slightest stiffness. To him, warfare was all about deception, and showing weakness to these elders and vice sect leaders of the Void Sword Sect was not a shameful thing.
"it is good!"
"Excellent! It truly is what we've been searching for!!!"
An elder was extremely excited, and his voice, transmitted through layers of barriers, was incredibly loud.
Seeing this, the deputy sect leader made a decisive decision and announced:
"Fellow Daoist, I will not waste any more words with you. I will give all three magic artifacts to my sect, and you will become the newly established Sword Master of the Thirty-Seven Peaks of my sect! You will enjoy a million-acre territory, govern countless mortals and cultivators, and you can mine the resources within your territory at will."
"Most importantly, my sect will bestow upon you two top-grade pills. One is the Great Dao Ascension Pill, which will repair the distortion and omissions in your realm cultivated under the severely flawed laws. It can reorganize your Dao foundation, allowing you to break through and rebuild in a short time, making you no different from us cultivators living in the outside world."
"The second pill is the Six-Turn Reincarnation Pill, which strengthens your divine soul. After consuming these two pills, when you step out of the Heavenly Abyss in the future, you will greatly increase your chances of withstanding the Heavenly Tribulation. Throughout history, as many as ninety-nine beings from forbidden zones have died under the tribulation lightning. With the assistance of our sect's two pills, your chances of survival will increase by at least 60%."
"Of course, these are all minor details. I promise you that if you are unable to withstand the tribulation lightning, all the above promises will be extended to your sect. I will personally protect your Sanyi Sect for a thousand years until a successor becomes the sword master of your thirty-seven peaks. How about it?"
"Moreover, when Tianyuan enters the world in the future, wherever the imperial dynasty and royal court's armies point, nothing will grow and the land will be scorched. But my sect can also protect you!"
"Furthermore, you may freely choose ten magical treasures (excluding innate magical artifacts) from my sect's Myriad Weapons Furnace to form the foundation of your sect. Fellow Daoist, if that's not enough, or if you have any other ideas, just say so. I will consider them as appropriate, within my capabilities."
The deputy sect leader was determined to obtain the three innate magical artifacts, which far exceeded her expectations.
Originally, she had arranged for the elites from each peak to infiltrate Tianyuan, and she had given up all hope for this exploration mission because there were just too many competitors, and the probability of successfully finding it was less than one in ten thousand.
But she just didn't want to give up. Within the sect, apart from the sect leader who was a peerless Dao Lord and possessed a complete innate magic weapon, the three vice sect leaders were also peerless Dao Lords, but none of them had powerful magic weapons to enhance them.
The difference in strength between them and the sect leader is like heaven and earth. It is no exaggeration to say that even if the three vice sect leaders plotted a rebellion and besieged the sect leader, they would be forcefully suppressed and killed by the latter without any suspense.
This is how terrifying innate magical artifacts are!
It can instantly create a huge gap between two people with similar cultivation levels.
Therefore, upon learning of the existence of the three innate magical artifacts, this vice sect leader of the opposite sex was determined to seize this incredible opportunity at all costs.
"Fellow Daoist has made such a generous promise. It would be a lie to say that I am not tempted. I am not greedy. These conditions are enough."
Jiang Mo readily agreed to the vice sect leader's conditions, and the elders repeatedly expressed their approval, their faces beaming with joy, almost as if they wanted to roar to the heavens.
But the next second, Jiang Mo changed the subject again, saying:
"I must explain that I have refined a portion of the authority over these three innate magical artifacts. Although I cannot unleash even one-tenth of their power, I can make them disintegrate on their own and disappear completely."
"..." The six important figures listened silently, without interrupting him or getting angry at his words.
"Now, there is one more thing I need to make clear to you: I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on until then, before you arrive."
Jiang Mo revealed a helpless expression, which suddenly made the six people panic. Kong Mu asked directly, "Fellow Daoist, what does this mean?!"
Then, Jiang Mo told them everything about the Starry Sky Humans' deeds and threats without reservation, and boasted:
"These are all historical facts. You can also have your disciples go to various sects to verify whether, more than three thousand years ago, there was a civilized nation of humans on the mainland that was destroyed because it angered both humans and demons, with only a portion of the population escaping."
"When they return this time, they will surely wash away all the secret realms with blood, and even destroy the entire human world."
"I have no way out but to fight."
"Those three innate magical artifacts will also accompany me on this expedition. If I perish, they will surely shatter."
Jiang Mo spoke calmly, his words mostly true and half false. He didn't even reveal the true strength of the Starry Sky Human Race, but instead downplayed it, claiming it was weakened by a hundredfold. Yet, this caused the six important figures from the Void Sword Sect to change their expressions slightly.
no doubt.
This is extortion and blackmail!
The vice sect leader's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold glint, and he said, "So, what do you mean, fellow Daoist? Why not speak plainly?"
"I need your sect's help. I need the Great Dao Ascension Pill and the Six Revolutions Reincarnation Pill. Only by overcoming this calamity can I hand over the three innate magic artifacts to you all intact."
Jiang Mo's smile was kind and sincere, and he made his exorbitant demands with remarkable ease.
This scene caught the attention of Yue Min, Xuan Hua, and the others, who couldn't help but exclaim inwardly: "Awesome!"
"Are you sure it will arrive within two years?" the vice sect leader questioned again.
"Yes, if there is any fraud, the sect leader may punish me and behead me in the future."
Jiang Mo's words were firm and clear, a blatant threat.
You won't give it to me, huh? Don't blame me for dying in battle and leaving you with nothing!
"Even if you are all willing to lend me a hand, I don't know if it will be too late. I'm afraid I'll be facing a life-or-death situation."
Jiang Mo sighed dejectedly.
"Humph!"
"There's enough time!"
"How could it be too late?"
"If you take these two pills, you should be able to completely refine them within about a year."
An elder said unhappily, clearly indicating that those two top-grade pills were also extremely precious to the Void Sword Sect.
The thought of wasting such elixirs on these natives always fueled his anger.
"I implore my fellow Daoists to lend me a hand!"
To ensure he obtained the elixir, Jiang Mo also made a promise:
"As long as I quell the crisis of the Starry Sky Human Race, I will immediately unrefine the three innate magical artifacts and hand them over to your disciples for safekeeping and protection until the moment Tianyuan enters the world."
"Let us discuss this further."
The deputy sect leader hesitated slightly, then waved his hand, causing the clouds and mist to become chaotic and the figures to scatter, making everything impossible to see.
They were having a secret conversation in another world.
"Pfft!"
At this moment, Zhao Yi's legs went weak, and he vomited a mouthful of blood. He immediately knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling, and even breathing was painful. Maintaining his master's true form projection was already difficult enough for him.
Five more people arrived this time, almost causing him to collapse from exhaustion on the spot.
"Cough cough cough..."
Taking advantage of the few brief moments of respite, Zhao Yi, panting heavily, continuously replenished his severely depleted sword energy.
About fifteen minutes later, feeling his master's call, he got up again, forcibly opened the array, and revealed the six figures.
"What have you all thought about it?" Jiang Mo asked eagerly.
"You can have the things."
The deputy sect leader spoke calmly, seemingly observing Jiang Mo, trying to see through him while simultaneously issuing a warning:
"I hope Your Excellency will not go back on your word, otherwise the price will be too high, and the billions of living beings in the entire Tianyuan will cease to exist."
"I will keep my word!" Jiang Mo said confidently.
"it is good!"
"That's exactly what I wanted to hear."
A sword master chuckled in a low voice and said:
"Within ten days, we will arrange for our disciples to deliver two top-grade pills to Tianyuan. This is a one-time opportunity, so you must seize it and prevent any accidents from happening to them."
"Understood, thank you all for your trust," Jiang Mo replied.
"In addition, there are two other things that we need your help with."
"Please give your orders."
Jiang Mo pricked up his ears, curious about what these elders were plotting.
"1. Suppress all members of the Flying Immortal Sect, imprison them, and prevent people from the Daye Dynasty and the Sunset Royal Court from approaching. You should be able to do this using the Book of Time, right?"
The deputy sect leader spoke frankly.
"It's hard to say..."
Jiang Mo shrugged and declined: "The master in the Flying Immortal Sect is too powerful, and he has been in seclusion in the secret realm. If I were to make a move, I'm afraid he would detonate the secret realm faster than I could seal him."
"There are no conditions to discuss. Just tell me if it's possible or not," the deputy sect leader said firmly.
"......"
Jiang Mo remained silent for a few moments, then took a deep breath and said, "I am confident that I can do it after I refine two pills a year from now."
"What I don't understand is that the Flying Immortal Sect has always been a local sect, and we have no grudge against them. Why should we deal with them?"
"They have a key that could very well unlock a secret treasure, and the treasure they obtain would be comparable to a primordial magic artifact."
