As the sun began to set in the west, the twenty-odd Golden Immortals sitting cross-legged in the main hall looked rather grim.

Behind these Golden Immortals, several juniors at the Celestial Immortal level stood by, each with a different expression.

Some of the celestial beings from the Jade Emperor Pavilion looked worried, while others, from the Nine Heavens Palace who were enemies of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, had sneers in their eyes. Many more, however, were waiting with amusement to see how the Jade Emperor Pavilion would handle the situation.

In the past, people would have given the Jade Emperor Pavilion some face and apologized, which would have at least maintained a semblance of peace.

However, the Jade Emperor Pavilion closed its grotto for four days, keeping all the powerful figures from various sects outside, clearly indicating that it had some ulterior motives.

And now this has happened again. Being fooled by the Jade Emperor Pavilion time and time again is not something that can be forgiven by giving them a little face.

In particular, the major sects under the Jade Emperor Pavilion, although they do not have Golden Immortals in charge, still have several powerful individuals at the Heavenly Immortal level.

They were the first to arrive to support the Jade Emperor Pavilion, yet their own sect left them stranded outside the cave for four days. No one could save face like that.

Finally, amidst the silence, the dignified middle-aged man, dressed in a black robe that made him look like an emperor, spoke from the highest position on the right.

“We have heard that the Nine Tribulation Celestial Immortal of the Jade Emperor Pavilion is about to undergo the tenth tribulation before coming to your sect, but your sect seems to lack sincerity!”

First, they sealed off the grotto for several days, preventing all fellow Daoists from entering. Then they claimed that a Nine Tribulation Celestial Immortal had disappeared. Do they think they're treating all of you here as a joke?

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura instantly descended upon the entire Jade Emperor Palace.

Without targeting anyone specifically, his domineering aura materialized and pressed down on everyone's hearts, like a giant hand gripping their hearts tightly.

In an instant, multicolored light appeared, and the protective divine abilities of the powerful beings present, who were at least at the Celestial Immortal level, were involuntarily activated under this pressure. The radiance of their divine shields shook the defenses of the Jade Emperor Palace.

At the head of the Jade Emperor Hall, the two Supreme Elders, Yu Qian and Yu Kun, had extremely gloomy expressions, but they could not refute the words of this dignified middle-aged man.

It wasn't just because he was in the right; more importantly, he was one of only two Eight Tribulation Golden Immortals present, the current supreme ruler of the Nine Heavens Palace.

Given the current superior strength, Yu Qian could only grit his teeth and bow, saying:

"It was indeed a mistake on the part of Jade Emperor Pavilion to invite you all here. To express our apologies, Jade Emperor Pavilion is willing to compensate everyone present."

As soon as the words fell, dozens of beautiful young women carrying treasure boxes slowly entered the Jade Emperor Hall and gently placed the treasure boxes in front of the many powerful figures.

When the treasure box was opened, its magnificent light was even more dazzling than the magical shields released by those powerful beings.

Looking at the many precious lights in the main hall, Yu Qian and Yu Kun felt their hearts bleeding.

This time, many powerful figures from various sects were present, and given their previous underhanded actions, verbal compensation would certainly not be enough to quell their anger. Only a real treasure could appease them.

However, those present were all powerful figures at the level of Golden Immortal or Celestial Immortal, many of whom were leaders and elders of major sects. Ordinary treasures were simply not enough to impress these people.

To satisfy these powerful figures present, the most exquisite and rare treasures must be offered.

The treasures presented now are all from the Jade Emperor Pavilion's treasury, representing the accumulated wealth of the Jade Emperor Pavilion over hundreds of thousands of years. They cannot be used except in critical moments.

They themselves were reluctant to use those resources, but now, due to a mistake in information, they were forced to use the treasure trove's resources to solve the problem, which was undoubtedly a huge loss.

Many of the powerful figures present softened their previously grim expressions upon seeing the treasure boxes on the table.

Some powerful figures looked at Yu Qian and Yu Kun, who were at the top of the table, with surprise. The value of the treasures compensated by the Jade Emperor Pavilion even exceeded their expectations.

Such a strong show of "sincerity" satisfied some of the powerful individuals.

They only spent a little time to get treasures as compensation, which is enough to save face and save substance. This result is already satisfactory to most people.

Of course, this only applies to the majority.

The current supreme ruler of the Nine Heavens Palace glanced at the treasure box on the table, which contained a precious Tribulation-Transcending Golden Pill.

This is a precious pill that can heal the injuries of a Golden Immortal, and it is an extremely rare treasure in the entire Xuanhuang Great World.

The Nine Heavens Palace currently has only three Golden Immortals, one of whom damaged his foundation during his tribulation hundreds of years ago. The value of this Tribulation-Transcending Golden Pill to the Nine Heavens Palace is self-evident, and the Jade Emperor Pavilion has indeed shown great sincerity.

But now that he's here, how can he be so easily dismissed?

With a wave of his sleeve, the treasure box instantly landed on Anzhuo in front of Yuqian, and the Supreme's voice was deep and resonant:

"Is this all the sincerity your Jade Emperor Pavilion has to offer?"

Yu Kun was taken aback at first, then his face turned angry and he was about to reprimand her, but he was stopped by the other Yu Kun.

Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Yu Qian said in a deep voice:

"If even a single Golden Core for Transcending Tribulation isn't enough to show sincerity, then what kind of sincerity does the Supreme One desire?"

The Supreme One did not speak directly, but instead looked at the other powerful figures inside the Jade Emperor Palace.

"The Jade Emperor Pavilion's fabrication of rumors about its intention to transcend the tenth tribulation is undoubtedly undermining the research of the immortals of the Xuanhuang Great World on calamities. This is a deception of the Xuanhuang immortals!"

Such a sin cannot be covered up by one or two so-called treasures.

A hat was slapped down on him, causing Yu Qian and Yu Kun's expressions to change drastically, and they exclaimed in unison:

"I admit that the Jade Emperor Pavilion did have some shortcomings, but Your Majesty's actions are a bit excessive."

The Supreme One sneered and addressed Yu Qian and Yu Kun:

"What's wrong with this? If you don't believe me, ask all the immortals present: Did your Jade Emperor Pavilion deceive you fellow Daoists, or did I seek justice for you?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qian and Yu Kun looked at the other powerful figures inside the hall.

The many Golden Immortals present understood the Supreme's intention to cause trouble, but what did that have to do with them?

Right now, the Jade Emperor Pavilion can't afford to break ties with so many Golden Immortals present. If they compromise, they might be able to get more compensation.

Many Golden Immortals silently closed the treasure boxes in front of them, their attitude made clear even though they didn't speak.

As for those at the Celestial Immortal level, they didn't react much, not daring to get involved in the affairs of the powerful beings.

Looking at the Golden Immortals in the main hall, Yu Qian trembled with anger but was helpless.

As others have pointed out, the Jade Emperor Pavilion had no power to overturn the table in the face of so many Golden Immortals.

If we accept this huge loss, we might only lose some treasures.

However, if they choose to resist, the entire Jade Emperor Pavilion could be destroyed in the great battle of the immortals.

The twenty-odd Golden Immortals present might not want to confront the Golden Immortals of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, but if the Supreme One could hold off the Golden Immortals of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, they would definitely not mind taking advantage of the situation to plunder and loot.

With his teeth clenched, Yu Qian looked at the Supreme Being with hatred and incomprehension in his eyes.

Although the Jade Emperor Pavilion and the Nine Heavens Palace are sworn enemies, they are not to the point of being mortal adversaries.

The Supreme Being has survived the Eighth Tribulation for over two thousand years. If nothing unexpected happens, he will surely perish under the Ninth Tribulation a thousand years from now.

If he were to perish, the entire Nine Heavens Palace would be left with only two Golden Immortals, far weaker than the Jade Emperor Pavilion.

If the Supreme Being is putting so much pressure on the Jade Emperor Pavilion, isn't he afraid that the Jade Emperor Pavilion will cleanse the entire Nine Heavens Palace after the Supreme Being's fall?

With a turmoil of thoughts swirling within him, Yu Qian finally suppressed his anger, his mind set on preserving the sect. He spoke in a low voice:

State your conditions!

Upon seeing this, the Supreme Being finally revealed a slight smile.

His gaze swept over the treasure box containing the Tribulation-Transcending Golden Pill, and a hint of disdain flashed in the Supreme Being's eyes.

No matter how precious the Tribulation-Crossing Golden Pill is, it is of no benefit to him, an Eighth Tribulation Golden Immortal. Below the Ninth Tribulation, there will be no chance to take the Tribulation-Crossing Golden Pill. If he gets his hands on it, it will only benefit others.

What he really needs is a "treasure" that can postpone the calamity for him!

As an Eighth Tribulation Golden Immortal, the only one in the entire Xuanhuang Great World who could postpone his calamity was that legendary anomaly.

Based on information gathered by the spies of the Nine Heavens Palace within the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the Supreme Being has an 80% probability of confirming that the anomaly is indeed within the Jade Emperor Pavilion.

Thinking of this, the Supreme Being slowly spoke to Yu Qian:

"In that case, please have the Jade Emperor Pavilion hand over the distinguished guest from the Yin clan who appeared at Yunlai Peak a few days ago!"

Chapter 301 You Want to Find Me? 5000

Upon hearing the Supreme Being's words, all the immortals in the Jade Emperor's Palace were stunned.

In their view, the Supreme One would likely impose some harsh conditions on the Jade Emperor Pavilion, and it was even possible that he would take this opportunity to seize ownership of a world and expand the territory of the Nine Heavens Palace.

However, the conditions proposed by the Supreme Being surprised them. Why would the Supreme Being of the Nine Heavens Palace go to such great lengths to find an unknown person?

The powerful figures from various factions within the Jade Emperor's Palace fell into deep thought, and some even began secretly exchanging information with each other.

Compared to the surprised forces from all sides, the expression on Yu Qian and Yu Kun's faces, who were at the top of the table, was no longer one of surprise, but rather one of shock and astonishment.

Yu Qian and Yu Kun, the parties involved, never expected that the Supreme One's request would be this.

Seeing everyone's reactions, especially the shocked expressions on the faces of the two Seven Tribulation Golden Immortals, Yu Qian and Yu Kun, the Supreme couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, further confirming his previous thoughts.

In fact, the Supreme One never believed the news that the Nine Tribulation Celestial Immortal was an anomaly from the very beginning.

Putting aside the fact that this Nine Tribulation Celestial Immortal Yin Changsheng had already passed the ninth tribulation more than three thousand years ago, why has there been no change in the past three thousand years, but only in the last few days has he suddenly been regarded as an anomaly?

The Supreme Being was absolutely certain that the so-called Yin Changsheng was an anomaly, which was entirely fabricated in order to cover up more important information.

If Yin Changsheng is an anomaly, why haven't the two Seven Tribulation Golden Immortals in the Jade Emperor Pavilion made any moves?

Although Yu Qian and Yu Kun were exceptionally talented, it was already a stroke of luck for them to become Seventh Tribulation Golden Immortals. Without a great opportunity, they could only stop there in this life.

It has been more than a thousand years since Yu Qian and Yu Kun survived their seventh tribulation, which means that Yu Qian and Yu Kun will face their eighth tribulation in two thousand years.

There was no way the two of them could survive the eighth tribulation, so this was almost equivalent to Yu Qian and Yu Kun only having two thousand years of lifespan left.

Now, the anomaly can postpone the calamity for ten thousand years. If Yin Changsheng is the anomaly, no matter who kills him, Yu Qian and Yu Kun can extend his life by ten thousand years. Accumulating another ten thousand years will make it easy for him to pass the eighth calamity.

However, Yu Qian and Yu Kun made no move, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

Faced with the approach of death, even true master and disciple, let alone those who are merely nominally master and nephew, will turn against each other.

Furthermore, even if Yu Qian and Yu Kun refrained from taking action for the sake of sect stability, why did the Xiao Zhan Ancestor of Suspended Mountain and the Xu Kun Daoist of Bright Moon Sea also leave in a hurry after meeting Yin Changsheng at the Jade Emperor Pavilion?

This only proves that Yin Changsheng is not an anomaly.

Based on this conclusion, the loopholes can be discovered simply by working backwards.

If Yin Changsheng is not an anomaly, then why is such news being spread? And what is its purpose?

First, the news that Yin Changsheng was an anomaly came from the outer sect of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, and it was spread by an outer sect disciple.

When the people in power in the Jade Emperor Pavilion tried to trace the source of this news, they found that they could not find the outer disciple at all.

A powerful force that dominates the Xuanhuang Great World, possessing five Golden Immortal experts, could easily suppress an entire Great World if they all joined forces. Yet now, they can't even find a single outer disciple? This is simply a huge joke.

There can only be two explanations for this.

The first possibility is that a being of such high status as to possess divine power intervened in this matter, erasing the existence of that outer disciple and leaving several Golden Immortals without a trace.

Another possibility is that there are no outer disciples at all; the so-called outer disciples are just a story orchestrated by the Jade Emperor Pavilion to divert everyone's attention.
