340: Four Great Supremes

Titan had not stepped into the Cosmic Battlefield for tens of thousands of years after being injured, but now he suddenly appeared.

The injury, which had not healed after tens of thousands of years of recuperation, had actually recovered in such a short period of time.

Last time, during the discussion about Xun Xiuyuan's apprenticeship, Qing Hui had examined Titan's body. His injuries were clearly still extremely severe. Even if Titan had entered a secret realm with a very fast time flow, only a few years would have passed.

Yet, within ten days of Titan entering the Cosmic Battlefield, news emerged from the cosmic core. Everything indicated that Titan had known about the cosmic core's appearance in advance.

How could all of this not make Qing Hui suspicious?

Titan looked at the five Saint-Kings in front of him, and finally replied helplessly, "It was the Sect Master."

With just three words, all five Saint-Kings were shaken, and their gazes at Titan became even more stern.

Since the great war with the Phantom Poison Universe tens of thousands of years ago, the Sect Master's way of doing things had changed greatly. Everyone knew that the Sect Master had been corrupted.

Qing Hui's expression was the most composed: "The Sect Master? Explain more clearly."

Titan pondered for a moment and said, "I was healing in a secret realm when the Sect Master suddenly appeared. It wasn't his true body, but a projection. He told me that he had deduced that the cosmic core of the Lan Gu Universe was about to appear, and he wanted me to seek out an opportunity."

Titan had always regarded the Sect Master as a father, and he had not doubted the Sect Master's words at all. After his injuries had mostly recovered, he immediately rushed to the Cosmic Battlefield.

The petite Grand Elder Hong Chen spoke at this moment, "The Sect Master's projection? Could it be that the Sect Master has overcome the soul corruption of the Phantom Poison Universe?"

The corruption of the Sect Master's soul was not a secret, but no one spoke about it. Everyone kept silent.

However, these Saint-Kings knew very well that the Sect Master had been corrupted by four Saint-Kings of the Phantom Poison Universe, who sacrificed themselves to do so.

It was only because of the Sect Master's heaven-defying strength that if it had been any other Saint-King, they would have long since suffered a mental breakdown and been unable to maintain a shred of rationality.

Titan heard Grand Elder Hong Chen's question and shook his head, "I don't know. The Sect Master's projection was no different from a normal person. I also had some doubts about his words, but I just felt that I could give it a try."

After he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.

Qing Hui had been staring at Titan, and at this moment, he finally spoke, "Since that's the case, then how should we deploy our forces next?"

Qing Hui did not ask any more about the Sect Master's appearance.

Grand Elder Hong Chen spoke softly, "Since that's the case, then we definitely have to contend for it. With the cosmic core emerging within the Cosmic Abyss, the Silver Sea Universe and the Phantom Poison Universe will certainly go to compete for it. How likely is it that Saint-Kings will make a move?"

Qing Hui also nodded, "We definitely have to participate. According to intelligence, this cosmic core is of the fire attribute, so the probability of Saint-Kings participating is not high."

cosmic cores are divided by attribute, with the Five Elements attributes appearing most frequently, while the other six attributes appear relatively less often.

cosmic cores of the Five Elements attribute are generally contested by Great Saint Realm cultivators, and Saint-Kings rarely participate.

Grand Elder Hong Chen nodded, "Since that's the case, besides Titan, let's arrange for another Great Saint Peak from our Yuan Ling Universe to participate as well, to increase our chances."

Qing Hui agreed, saying, "Let Feng Lin come to the Cosmic Battlefield. Whether it succeeds or not, so be it."

Compared to the other two universes, the Yuan Ling Universe's strength was relatively weaker, and the number of experts it could deploy was extremely limited, so the probability of obtaining a cosmic core was also relatively low.

The cosmic cores that allowed the Four Grand Supremes to advance to Saint King Realm were all plundered by the Sect Master alone from the outside world. At that time, the Yuan Ling Universe was entirely supported by the Sect Master alone.

It was also for this reason that the Phantom Poison Universe launched a war against the Yuan Ling Universe.

The most important reason was the strength of the Yuan Ling Sect's Sect Master, which far surpassed that of ordinary Saint-Kings.

Qing Hui only now replied to Nangong Feiyun's message: "You continue forward. I will arrange for two Great Saint Peak cultivators to go."

Turning to Titan, he said, "Since you have received the Sect Master's instructions, you may now proceed to the Cosmic Abyss. Be careful in all things."

Seeing this, Titan nodded and left the discussion room.

Qing Hui looked at the avatars of the Four Grand Supremes and couldn't help but ask, "What do you all think about what Titan said?"

It was still Grand Elder Hong Chen who spoke, "Given the Sect Master's strength, dispelling some soul corruption and recovering some sanity, I think it is understandable."

Then she paused for a moment and added, "The key is Titan; he cannot betray the Yuan Ling Sect."

In her words, Grand Elder Hong Chen had great trust in Titan.

Qing Hui was stunned after hearing this, because Titan had told him that the person who tried to assassinate him was very likely Grand Elder Hong Chen.

But at this moment, Grand Elder Hong Chen was defending Titan.

As Qing Hui was pondering, a hoarse voice rang out, "Titan and Feng Lin will go to contend for the cosmic core. Regardless of success or failure, we must be prepared. If they succeed, I estimate that the people of the Phantom Poison Universe will launch another invasion against us."

The speaker was Grand Elder Long Xiang, one of the Four Grand Supremes.

Qing Hui nodded, "Although a Five Elements attribute cosmic core is not worth starting a major war, the Phantom Poison Universe harbors deep hatred for our Yuan Ling Universe, so we truly must be on guard."

Subsequently, the five discussed the deployment for preventing a major war.

Silver Sea Universe.

Still within that council hall.

Nuke looked at Leven and asked, "Are you sure it's a fire attribute cosmic core?"

Leven nodded, "More than a dozen Great Saints have already gone to retrieve it, and all have died. It seems impossible to approach, burned to death."

Nuke looked at Leven and said leisurely, "An ordinary fire attribute cosmic core wouldn't have such power. Generally, Great Saints are capable of retrieving Five Elements attribute cosmic cores."

Leven was stunned upon hearing this, "Could it be a mutated fire attribute cosmic core?"

Nuke shook his head, "I don't know. Is it possible that it's a light attribute cosmic core?"

Leven's breathing hitched upon hearing this. Light attribute?

Light attribute cosmic cores had not appeared for a very long time, and all the Saint-Kings of the Silver Sea Universe could use them.

If it were a light attribute cosmic core, then merely sending some Great Saints would be very unstable.

While Leven was pondering, Nuke continued, "Since it's not an ordinary fire attribute cosmic core, then let's be cautious. Why don't you go personally? As for how to distribute it after obtaining it, we'll discuss that when you return."

Leven gave Nuke a meaningful look, nodded in agreement, and then departed.

Because Nuke's words were very subtle, yet clearly told her that if it was a light attribute cosmic core, she should not use it without authorization.

Nuke watched Leven's departing figure, his mind filled with unknown thoughts.
