　　He had noticed that the black skeleton mentioned something about the Sky of Heavenly Sword and Sky of Freedom, and even though he didn't understand what those words meant, he was certain that it had something to do with the Firmament.

　　Furthermore, the black skeleton had initially intended to harm them, but after seeing the crimson pendant he was wearing, its att.i.tude suddenly changed. This meant that it was able to recognize the crimson pendant, and there was a good chance that it was acquainted with Luo Ruoxin!

　　However, the black skeleton stood unmovingly on the spot, not responding at all

　　Knowing that the black skeleton wasn't going to answer any of his questions even if he were to probe further, Zhang Xuan shook his head before retreating from the area.

　　Together with Du Qingyuan, they headed back in the direction where they came from. With a slight moment of disorientation, they soon reappeared above the altar.

　　"Let's return."

　　Even though the Aura of Divinity he had obtained was impure, there was still a chance he could cleanse it through the ritual the black skeleton had pa.s.sed down to them.

　　Within four hours, they were back at the Starchaser Palace once more.

　　Han Jianqiu and the others were pacing around the room anxiously when Zhang Xuan and Du Qingyuan returned, and they immediately directed antic.i.p.atory gazes over.

　　"Wu Chen, prepare the altar!" Zhang Xuan instructed as he imparted the ritual process to him.

　　After looking through the ritual process, a tight frown appeared on Wu Chen's forehead, "I'm afraid that it won't be easy for the ritual to succeed…"

　　"What does the ritual require?" Han Jianqiu asked.

　　"The ritual requires the partic.i.p.ation of 100,000 True Immortal realm cultivators. They must bare open their souls and display not the slightest resistance at all!" Wu Chen replied with a shake of his head.

　　Baring open one's soul required a bold leap of faith as it would mean making one completely vulnerable before others. It was no different from entrusting one's life into the hands of another. If anyone in the formation were to harbor any malicious intention toward them, that could spell the end of them.

　　Even though Zhang Xuan was the head of four sects, the idol of countless young men in the Forsaken Continent, he didn't possess the influence to convince so many people to go to that extent for him.

　　No human was truly selfless, let alone a hundred thousand of them!

　　"I know that it isn't easy, but we still have to give it a try," Zhang Xuan replied solemnly.

　　He turned his eyes toward where Han Jianqiu, Kui Xiao, and Qin Yuan were and asked, "Are the disciples and elders of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, Sevenstar Pavilion, and Myriad Beasts Hall here yet?"

　　When the grudge between him and the fake Kong s.h.i.+ was first brought to the surface, Zhang Xuan immediately instructed Han Jianqiu and the others to gather all of the disciples and elders of their respective sects on Starchaser island. He knew that they would require as much power as possible in order to deal with the powerful Ethereal Hall and Kong s.h.i.+.

　　A month had pa.s.sed since then, so they should have arrived by now.

　　"They have all arrived, and they are ready to move at your command!" Han Jianqiu replied. "However, we are only able to gather 20,000 cultivators of True Immortal realm and above."

　　The greatest problem for them at the moment wasn't whether they could unite the hearts of a hundred thousand cultivators together, but that they couldn't even gather that many True Immortals together!

　　The four sects had many experts in their ranks, but there were only so many of them who were able to reach True Immortal realm. One must know that those who wielded such strength were already qualified to become a core disciple or elder of their respective sects.
