This was only the divine soul of the Divine Throne. Obviously, his true body was trapped at the moment and he couldn't come here at all.
"Greetings to the Divine Throne."
"Elder Xia, you're being too polite. Our Divine Sect cherishes talents. A talent like you doesn't need to pay such a grand salute to me."
Xia Wanning got up.
Then she said, "I've learned about the existence of the Primordial Beast Ancestor. Divine Throne, I have a method that will surely enable your Divine Sect to break free from the shackles of the Ghost Domain. Moreover, the entire Nine - Provinces Continent will revere your sect."
The man in the purple - gold black robe narrowed his eyes. Apparently, he was quite interested in Xia Wanning's proposal.
"Tell me."
"I heard that your noble son has been found and he has obtained the inheritance power of the ancient fierce beast, the Flaming Fire Dragon. Is this true?"
"Yes."
Xia Wanning smiled.
She continued, "Divine Throne, do you want your young master to make further progress in his cultivation of the inheritance power?"
Under the purple - gold black robe, it was impossible to tell the man's mood from his face.
"Elder Xia has a way?"
In the Ghost Domain, all the demon beasts with great cultivation had become the victims of Mo Bai. Their demon cores were used every day to enhance Mo Bai's cultivation.
Judging from Xia Wanning's tone, was she planning to set her sights on the Primordial Beast Ancestor?
"I'm sure the Divine Throne has already guessed what I'm going to say."
The man in the purple - gold black robe across from her fell into silence.
The Primordial Beast Ancestor's cultivation was beyond their reach.
They knew that if the Ancestor awakened, his power would be enough to destroy their entire Ghost Domain.
However, if they could obtain the inheritance of the Primordial Beast Ancestor, their Divine Sect would become the supreme existence in the martial world and on the Nine - Provinces Continent.
By then, they wouldn't have to hide in the gloomy and terrifying Ghost Domain anymore.
"Elder Xia, do you know what will happen to us if the Primordial Beast Ancestor awakens?"
"Is the Divine Throne afraid to take a risk?"
The man in the purple - gold black robe let out a soft laugh.
"Elder Xia doesn't need to provoke me. But you've always been deeply in love with the millennium imperial teacher, Yan Ruyu. If you sell such crucial information about the Primordial Beast Ancestor to me, aren't you afraid that after Yan Ruyu finds out, there will be no chance for the two of you?"
"Sometimes, one has to take risks. I have no other choice. Now I can tell you that the Primordial Beast Ancestor is currently in our sect. However, his power has not fully awakened yet. If he gets excited, it will be difficult for him to hide his form. I'm telling you about him and am willing to help you offer him up, but there are conditions."
"Acting rashly against the Primordial Beast Ancestor will lead to unpredictable consequences. Why does Elder Xia think I'll take this risk with you?"
Xia Wanning smiled.
In fact, she and the man in the purple - gold black robe across from her were of the same kind.
They were both extremely ambitious.
The man in the purple - gold black robe was willing to let his only son, Mo Bai, bear the inheritance power of the ancient fierce beast for the great cause of the Divine Sect. From this, it could be seen that his goal was to dominate the world.
"Because the Divine Throne's ambition is much greater than mine. I don't ask for much. After this is accomplished, I want the Emperor - Venerable. Also, you must not touch my sect. I will still be the elder of the sect."
"Elder Xia is so confident. Why should I help you? Even if I want to rule the world, I can just find the Primordial Beast Ancestor and assist him. By then, I can also dominate the world."
Xia Wanning sneered.
"Divine Throne, we're not children. You don't need to test me like this. You know me well, and I know you well enough. If you assist the Primordial Beast Ancestor, even if you dominate the world in the future, you'll still be second to someone. With your ambition, you'll never allow anyone to step on you."
Xia Wanning was extremely shrewd.
Back then, she was able to deceive Ye Ling with her beautiful appearance and win the trust of the Emperor - Venerable because she could clearly understand their thoughts.
When it was time to be kind, she was truly kind.
But when it came to doing evil, she never showed mercy.
What Xia Wanning wanted, she always fought for herself. No matter what means she used, as long as the end result was the same, she didn't care about the process.
The man in the purple - gold black robe across from her thought for a long, long time.
Then, a deep voice slowly came from across.
"The Primordial Beast Ancestor is not easy to deal with."
"I'll handle it. I've seen a lot of things in the Beast Realm. To deal with the Primordial Beast Ancestor, we can use an excessive amount of soul - numbing incense. Then, combined with the bone - softening powder and the Divine Throne's power, we can at least gain a moment of time."
"But I can't leave the Ghost Domain now."
"I can find a way to bring him above the Ghost Domain."
"Elder Xia is really bold. You even dare to scheme against the Primordial Beast Ancestor."
Xia Wanning smiled.
If she wasn't bold enough, how could that earth - shattering conspiracy back then have gone so smoothly?
How could the four great families have been played in her hands like puppets?
Sometimes, if one wanted to achieve something, one had to be prepared to take a big risk. If one didn't have the ability to bear this, then she, Xia Wanning, wouldn't have made it this far.
"The armor of the Primordial Beast Ancestor is not easy to remove."
"No matter how hard the armor is, there will always be a weak point."
And Zhao Huai's weak point was his only younger sister, Zhao Shuning.
"Elder Xia seems quite confident. When? I need to prepare the Hundred - Turning Formation in advance. By then, we can use the formation to try our best to restrain the movement of the Primordial Beast Ancestor. But before that, you must ensure that the Primordial Beast Ancestor is in his weakest state. Otherwise, even if we use the entire power of the Divine Sect, we won't be able to imprison him."
"I know. During this time, I won't look for alchemists for the Divine Sect anymore. The Primordial Beast Ancestor has already started to suspect me."
"Okay."
"How long does the Divine Throne need to prepare this formation? The sooner the better. Many things will become more difficult to handle if they are delayed for too long."
"Three years."
Three years? This time wasn't too long.
"Okay, then it's three years."
The man in the purple - gold black robe nodded.
Then he disappeared.
The black - clothed man who had been sitting cross - legged suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Xia Wanning, and said respectfully, "Everything will depend on Elder Xia."
"No need to be so polite. It's just mutual benefit. In the next few years, the people of your Divine Sect outside had better behave themselves and not make any noise. Otherwise, if you ruin the Divine Throne's plan, you know what will happen to you."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xia Wanning took a deep breath, then put on a kind smile and slowly left the riverside.
Zhao Huai, don't blame me. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for knowing too much.
Blame yourself for having too shallow a cultivation and not knowing how to be on guard against others or the principle of "don't startle the snake".
