Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 1483 - 1473: Half a Month Term (Three)_1

Just as Long Yan and Suofeng Ghost Emperor entered Black Gold City, a message came from an unknown source. The entire Sealed Gods Ancient Road was shaken once again, and the major forces couldn’t keep still any longer and began to make arrangements.

Hidden space, Jiu Xuan Royal Clan.

In the Great Hall, more than a dozen strong ones were seated. Each strong one radiated immeasurable power, especially the few at the forefront - their aura was incredibly profound.

"Is this news true?"

An elderly man at the forefront asked, his tone carrying an air of caution.

"We just learned of this news. As to whether it’s true or not, we don’t know."

A middle-aged man responded, uncertainty emulating from his tone as well.

A few time units ago, the Jiu Xuan Royal Clan suddenly received a message, it read like this: Half a month from now, gather the Order of the Holy Fire at the Lingmang Plateau to unravel a mystery ten thousand years old.

The meaning of this message was clear as day.

Half a month from now, at the Lingmang Plateau, congregate the Order of the Holy Fire. The Order is linked to the mystery of Saint Heaven Sect from ten thousand years ago.

Who spread this message and what their actual intent was remained unknown to all.

"What does everyone think?"

The elderly man who spoke earlier looked at the crowd eager to hear their thoughts.

At his words, everyone fell silent, the assembly of the Order of the Holy Fire was a grave matter. For the Jiu Xuan Royal Clan, this news of unknown origin wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface.

The atmosphere within the great hall became incredibly stifling, to a point even a pin drop could be heard.

After a moment of silence, a grey-robed elder spoke: "The mystery left by Saint Heaven Sect is the greatest mystery in the Emperor’s Domain. Over the ten thousand years, every major power has sought to unravel it, yet a part of the Order lies within the Emperor’s Domain and the other part lies within the Sealed Gods Ancient Road. Gathering the Order of the Holy Fire has simply been impossible."

He paused for a moment before continuing: "Now, a sudden message comes stating the Order of the Holy Fire is to be assembled at the Lingmang Plateau. The deliverer of the message likely knows the location of each piece of the Order. Every piece is likely already on the Ancient Road."

Ten thousand years ago, the Sealed Gods Ancient Road underwent changes, causing the emperors to move from the Emperor’s Domain to the Ancient Road. The emperors of the Ancient Road are unable to return to the Emperor Domain. The Order of the Holy Fire scattered in all directions; part remains on the Ancient Road and part is in the Emperor’s Domain, naturally making it impossible to gather them together.

Though it’s unclear who sent this message out, the sender likely knows that all thirteen pieces of the Holy Fire Order are now on the Ancient Road. It’s time to gather the Order and unveil the mysteries of Saint Heaven Sect.

"Are you suggesting this is an opportunity for us as well?"

The speaker was a yellow-robed elder, his eyes in deep thought.

"Indeed."

The grey-robed elder nodded, saying: "A significant part of the Order of Holy Fire is controlled by the various forces, and it’s impossible for a single force to control all. Now, someone wants to gather the Order at Lingmang Plateau. Whether it’s for us or the other forces, it’s an opportunity. Even though we can’t monopolize the secrets of Saint Heaven Sect, we can each play to our strengths."

Any force that dreams of controlling all thirteen pieces of the Holy Fire Order is delusional; therefore, no one can control the secrets of Saint Heaven Sect. The strategy is to open the secrets left behind by Saint Heaven Sect and then let each play their cards as they may.

"I don’t believe it’s that simple. At the very least, we should not act hastily."

Another strong one spoke up, saying: "The Jiu Xuan Royal Clan controls a piece of the Order of Holy Fire and many know this. This message might be a trap, specifically targeting the Order we hold."

If the source of the message had only told the Jiu Xuan Royal Clan, then it’s highly likely that they have laid out a trap at Lingmang Plateau. Once the Royal Clan brings the Holy Fire Order there, they would fall right into the trap.

The possibility cannot be ruled out, hence the need to be on guard.

Hearing this, everyone silently nodded, agreeing with this concern.

"We still have half a month. There’s time to explore opportunities to probe the other forces, especially those that control the Order of the Holy Fire. If they have also received the same message, we don’t need to worry. On the Sealed Gods Ancient Road, none of the powers have the ability to take on all forces at once."

This was the most prudent way. If all the forces go to Lingmang Plateau, such a formidable force would make it impossible for the person who conveyed the message to seize the Holy Fire Order.

"Even if all forces received the message and travel to Lingmang Plateau together, we need to be fully prepared. The secret of Saint Heaven Sect is something the Jiu Xuan Royal Clan must have a share in."

...

At the depths of the Sealed Gods Ancient Road, Mysterious Space.

A massive Legal Platform elevated, with Emperor Ye sitting cross-legged atop it. His aura was profoundly deep, clearly having merged many of the powers left from his past life.

Suddenly, a black-clothed figure appeared before the Legal Platform. It was the faceless black-clothed man, his expression utterly respectful.

"Master, I just received a message that pertains to the Order of the Holy Fire."

The faceless black-clothed man spoke softly.

"Oh?" frёewebηovel.cѳm

Emperor Ye opened his eyes slightly in surprise, then said: "What’s going on?"

The Order of Holy Fire was related to the secrets of Saint Heaven Sect, thus arousing his interest.

"Half a month from now, gather the Order of the Holy Fire at Lingmang Plateau to unveil a mystery from ten thousand years ago."

The faceless black-clothed man replied respectfully.

"Where did this news come from?"

Emperor Ye asked.

"We have no idea, we happened upon this news suddenly. The craftiness of the one who released this news is sophisticated, there’s no way to trace anything."

The faceless black-clothed man tried to probe the source of the message but came up with nothing.

Emperor Ye dipped into deep thought, after a while he said to the faceless black-clothed man: "The Emperor has a piece of the Holy Fire Order. Go find out if the message is not only targeted at us. If it isn’t, take this piece of the Order in the Emperor’s hands and go to the Lingmang Plateau. Be prepared for all outcomes. If the Order is truly gathered, and the secret of Saint Heaven Sect is unveiled, make sure you find a way to get it. Even if it is unattainable, it must not fall into the hands of other forces, especially the Burial Sky Church."

Emperor Ye’s concern was the same as that of the Jiu Xuan Royal Clan. If the trap was not specifically aimed at him, then it was an opportunity. The secret of Saint Heaven Sect that had accumulated for tens of thousands of years was something everyone wanted to explore, including himself.

"I will go and check with other forces immediately."

After speaking, the faceless black-clothed man left straight away.

"Who has the capability to know the whereabouts of each piece of the Holy Fire Order?"

Emperor Ye’s gaze was concentrated as he sank into thought.

Even with his capability and skills, he only knew the exact location of a few pieces of the Order. Where the rest lay was unknown to him.

Now, someone who had brought out this news undoubtedly possessed skills surpassing his, at least knowing more than he did.
