Chapter 1255 The Frontier's Situation

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Xiao Tiandi frowned, thinking about this trial.

"Don't worry too much about it," Xun Junyao said. "You're a person with a great destiny. Who knows? It might appear now that you have such an intense desire for it."

She did not want her disciple to revert to his former self because of this small inconvenience, so Xun Junyao chose to give false hope. Technically speaking, it was not false hope since she did not know the exact requirements for the trial. For all she knew, it appeared when someone of great destiny required it or during a time of chaos and strife—just like the current era.

"Destiny?" Xiao Tiandi muttered as an idea flashed in his mind. "Could we summon it?"

"That's an idea, but how would we go about that?"

"You remember your history lesson of the Second Origin War?" Xiao Tiandi stated. "You said that Paragon Qiyuan started a war to gather a tremendous amount of luck and destiny to summon the Ultimate Taboo. Couldn't we use his method to summon this trial?"

"That might work," Xun Junyao nodded. "However, the destiny…"

"I know mine alone is not enough, but we can contact Empyrean Kong and many other talented individuals," Xiao Tiandi persuaded. "I'm sure many of the people in the same generation as....Well, my point is that many people would not pass off such an opportunity in this current climate."

Xun Junyao noticed how odd he behaved regarding this so-called friend, but she did not pry. They were very close; if her disciple did not tell him, he must have his reasons.

"That's one part of the problem," Xun Junyao sighed. "How would we get such an important thing from the Dao Opening Sect? I can ask them, but I doubt they will give me face regarding this matter." Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)

"We don't need the complete method. No, we don't even need to be the ones to summon the trial," Xiao Tiandi persuaded. "I'm sure the Dao Opening Sect would benefit from such an event. In other words, we only need to persuade them."

Xiao Tiandi was confident in this plan because the Dao Opening Sect had a high chance of agreeing because of Wang Wei. Although he would prefer for that bastard not to enjoy such benefit, he knew it was impossible not to include. Regardless, the trial should somewhat reduce the gap between them — especially since he can achieve a third awakening after becoming an Empyrean.

"It seems you've thought of everything," Xun Junyao said with a smile. Luckily, she hid her face, or the entire room would be illuminated. However, despite this protection, Xiao Tiandi already thought of a hundred poems describing the fleeting smile.

"Excellent. I'll contact them immediately," Xun Junyao said. Such a trial could also benefit her. "No, inviting them to my celebration and asking in person would be better. If so, I can't send just anyone to give the invitation."

"I'll go."

"Yes, you're my direct disciple, and what better person to represent me," Xun Junyao nodded. "Go right now. No, change into something more presentable. You should also bring gifts."

"No problem," Xiao Tiandi stated. "By the way, is the trial also useful for Paragons?"

"No. You must leave after becoming a Paragon."

"We've had this conversation countless times, so why waste time?" Five-Feather asked. "Everyone wants to be the one to return, so how do we decide?"

"I'm putting my foot down this time," Time Eater announced. "I'll be the one to return, and I won't take no for an answer." He released his aura, suppressing all the others in the room.

"Watch your tongue," warned Seven Cauldron. "If anyone here should return, it's rightfully me."

"Unfortunately for you, I no longer care about your special identity," Time Eater replied, even releasing a slight killing intent.

"You!"

"Do it, and I'll burn everything down," Undead Phoenix said. "I'll either open the formation and allow these people entry or run away and sell all your information."

"You wouldn't dare," Time Eater growled.

"Try me," Undead Phoenix replied before looking at Five Feather. "I might even find someone willing to kill this bitch for me."

"Bold words," Five Feather replied, releasing her own killing intent.

"Can we even return?" the Earth Emperor asked calmly. "Their orders were to protect the world at all costs. Would they consider our return an act of treason?"

The room was momentarily quiet until Time Eater spoke. "We're only doing so to better accomplish our given task."

"Will they care?" the Earth Emperor rebutted; his words again plunged the room into silence.

"Let's not talk about such pointless speculation," Earth Emperor continued. "How about we summon people here instead of fetching them? They can become a Paragon here, and the problem will be solved."

"As long as we each get to pick someone, I'm fine with this idea," Five Feather added, and soon, everyone agreed.

"You make it sound simple, but have you considered the implications?" Time Eater sneered at these idiots. "We can hide these people for the most part, but what about when they have to undergo the Immemorial Tribulation?" He pointed outside.

"Do you think these people are stupid? They won't guess what we're trying to do and stop us."

"You're right, but this is the best compromise we can come up with," the Earth Emperor replied. "We can deal with these people's reactions when the time comes. At worst, we will send our people to the Source Qi Space to pass the tribulation."

Time Eater looked at the Earth Emperor in the eyes, and the latter did not lunch. Shu Ren did not know why Time Eater desperately wanted to return home but knew he needed to stop it at all costs.

"Fine. Let's discuss how many people to summon and how to choose." This discussion did not last long as everybody agreed on one person, and it had to be someone they trusted or could easily control. Once the decision was made, everyone scattered to their rooms for the summon. Meanwhile, the quiet Blood Dragon had a glint in his eyes as he calmly returned to his quarters.
