Chapter 716: Chapter 716 Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Recruitment List

Jiang Fan had witnessed the Ancient Giant with his own eyes.

It was an Ancient Giant, heavily injured, barely surviving by leaning on a giant egg.

Even so…

A casual strike from it could destroy the heavens and annihilate the earth.

Under the siege of numerous Nascent Soul experts from the Outer Realm Divine Sect, it still unleashed boundless combat power.

Shattering countless Spiritual Artifacts and Divine Talismans.

No one knew how many Nascent Soul experts were injured in that battle.

It’s hard to imagine.

What kind of divine might a complete Ancient Giant would possess!

According to historical records, Nascent Soul experts were merely food for Ancient Giants.

Jiang Fan completely believed this was not an exaggeration.

But a bloody truth!

If the Ancient Giants were to sweep across the world once more…

That scene…

Just thinking about it sent chills down Jiang Fan’s spine.

Ye Cangyuan also felt a chill down his back and gave a slight shudder, then said:

“This is merely the Pavilion Master’s speculation.”

“How the Ancient Giants descended, even the great sages of the past did not figure out.”

“We do not dare to draw conclusions lightly.”

He pushed the Hell Beast Bronze Artifact in front of him.

“This is a bronze artifact passed down from ancient times.”

“What’s engraved on it is a Hell Beast.”

“There are inscriptions on it that might record information about the Hell Beast.”

“It’s just that, the Pavilion Master doesn’t recognize the inscriptions either.”

“So, he wants you to translate it.”

Jiang Fan showed a look of surprise.

Did even the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, far away, know about his proficiency in Demon Race writings?

It seemed he hadn’t displayed it in front of many people.

Carrying doubts.

He closely examined the bronze artifact.

Discovering that it was densely engraved with inscriptions, only the size of grains of rice.

He shook his head slightly and said:

“These are neither Human Clan characters nor Demon Race characters.”

“I am powerless.”

The bronze artifact likely wasn’t the work of the Human Clan.

It could have been crafted by some race among All Races thousands of years ago.

And for some reason, ended up in the Human Clan’s hands.

Ye Cangyuan was not surprised and said:

“The Pavilion Master mentioned, if you can’t recognize it for now, keep the bronze artifact with you.”

“One day, when you decipher the inscriptions, come and inform him.”

Hmm?

Jiang Fan was puzzled.

Did the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion trust that he could decipher the inscriptions on the bronze artifact?

After giving it some thought.

Jiang Fan accepted the bronze artifact and said, “I’ll try my best.”

He’d find time to peruse that bundle of All Races languages.

If there were matching characters, he’d translate them.

It would be a way to repay the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion for saving his life.

Ye Cangyuan nodded slightly:

“Do you need my help in mediating your affairs with the Giant Sect?”

Jiang Fan said in a deep voice: “No need.”

“It’s best if the Giant Sect doesn’t provoke me again. For the sake of us all belonging to the Nine-Sect, I don’t care to bother them.”

“But if they cross my bottom line, don’t blame me for being unkind to them.”

Ye Cangyuan was stunned.

He meant to ask if Jiang Fan needed protection.

To prevent the Giant Sect from harming him.

But in Jiang Fan’s mouth, it sounded like he could easily control the Giant Sect?

He twitched his mouth and said, “Alright.”

“It’s best if you know your limits.”

“Come with me. I have two matters to announce to the Nine-Sect.”

Jiang Fan was curious.

He followed him outside the tent.

At this time, apart from the Green Cloud Sect, the core personnel from the other sects were all present.

With Ye Cangyuan’s appearance, the scene immediately quieted down.

“In the name of the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism, I announce two major matters to the Nine-Sect Land!”

“First, Humans and Demons… ceasefire!”

What?

Jiang Fan was taken aback.

Ceasefire?

The Demon Emperor had just been leading forces south not long ago?

Why the sudden ceasefire?

Very quickly, Jiang Fan thought of the Hell Beast and understood in his heart.

The Hell Beast was a common enemy to both races.

They needed to face it together, so there was no room for continued internal conflict between the races.

But…

Jiang Fan thought of his compatriots who had fallen on Boundary Mountain.

The war ended just like that?

Their vendetta had not yet been avenged!

The Demon Moon commanding the army.

The Sky Demon Emperor who started the war.

Which of them had paid the price?

A trace of grief spread in his heart.

But he understood more that continuing to fight would sacrifice more of the Human Clan and many Demons being forced into the war.

Ultimately, it would only benefit the Sky Demon Emperor, allowing him to weaken the threat of the Demon Race tribes as he wished.

“Well, this account, I’ll settle it personally someday!”

The Nine-Sect disciples also stirred up a massive commotion.

The Nine-Sect had gathered all manpower and resources for a decisive battle.

And the war suddenly ended.

Some were relieved.

Some felt unwilling because they couldn’t avenge.

And some were angry because they couldn’t gain achievements.

But with the Hell Beast in front.

An alliance between the two races was the trend.

Individual feelings had an insignificant impact.

“The Nine-Sect can decide their own departure time and withdraw from Boundary Mountain in an orderly manner.”

“But please remain in combat readiness.”

“Soon, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will issue more important battle orders.”

Ye Cangyuan did not mention the Hell Beast.

This matter was temporarily kept under wraps.

To avoid unnecessary panic.

“The second matter, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is formally recruiting disciples from the Nine-Sect.”

“Based on performance in the Boundary Mountain battle and prior mission executions.”

“The Pavilion Master has drawn up the following candidates.”

What?

The Nine-Sect members became excited.

Being admitted to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was like a fish leaping over the dragon gate.

The ultimate dream for Nine-Sect disciples was to, through their own efforts, step into the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

To compete on the same stage with those legendary prodigious talents.

If they progressed further, they’d have the chance to tread into Taicang State, witnessing a broader Martial Path world.

Even if they didn’t make it out.

The skills they acquired would be enough to return to the Nine-Sect and lead their sects.

Many Sect Masters in the Upper Three Sects had experiences of advanced studies in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

This is also why they were stronger than the other six sect masters.

After five years.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was recruiting disciples again.

Who wouldn’t be tempted?

If a disciple from their sect were fortunate enough to be selected, it meant years later, a great expert would return.

The most excited were still the Supreme Sect, Myriad Swords Sect, and Giant Sect.

Because most of the recruited disciples were from the Upper Three Sects each time.

Very few involved the other six sects.

Of course.

Not every time would the Upper Three Sects have disciples selected either.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s requirements for disciples were so exacting that it was detestable.

At times, for consecutive years, not a single disciple could get into the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

At best, it was merely that disciples from the Upper Three Sects were simultaneously selected.

So.

Who might enter the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion this time was really hard to say.

Perhaps all three sects had members.

Perhaps only one or two sects did.

As for the other six sects, though their hopes were slim, they also hoped their disciples could defy fate.

Under the gaze of countless hopeful eyes.

Ye Cangyuan took out the list handwritten by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Slowly opening his mouth, he said:

“Supreme Sect: Xia Chaoge.”

As soon as the words fell.

A cheer of joy erupted from the Supreme Sect!

Whether it was the Supreme Elder, the Sect Master, or the elders.

They all wore expressions of delight.

Shangguan Sheng excitedly said, “Chaoge! You made it!”

Xia Chaoge’s eyes were calmly indifferent, responding with a polite, shallow smile:

“Thank you for everything the master and the sect have done over the years.”

Then she immediately shifted her gaze to Jiang Fan.

In her eyes, there was a hint of expectation.

In stark contrast to the joyful cheers of the Supreme Sect was the Myriad Swords Sect and Giant Sect.

They watched Ye Cangyuan intently.

Was it possible that only the Supreme Sect had a disciple selected this time?

Fortunately.

Ye Cangyuan’s lips moved again.

“Myriad Swords Sect, Liang Feiyan.”

As soon as the words fell.

The Myriad Swords Sect members burst out in joyful cheers.

“Hahaha, our Myriad Swords Sect also got selected!”

“Liang Feiyan, congratulations, congratulations!”

Xu Qingyang grinned from ear to ear.

His heart that had been suspended finally settled!

His Swordsmanship had been unable to be passed on.

Liang Feiyan’s journey to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion would bring many fortuities.

At the very least, mastering the upper part of the “Sword Control Technique” had great hope.

This way, the lineage of Swordsmanship wouldn’t be lost.

The Giant Sect disciples grew nervous.

With two sects from the Upper Three Sects selected.

If they were left out, it would be quite embarrassing.

Kong Yuanba secretly clenched his fists: “We’re capable!”

“If Liang Feiyan got selected, my disciple Jin Zhongming is much stronger than Liang Feiyan.”

“There’s no reason he wouldn’t be selected.”

What bolstered his spirits was.

Ye Cangyuan indeed spoke next.

Another sect’s disciple was selected.

Yet, the name he called out made Kong Yuanba’s heart sink halfway.

Only to hear Ye Cangyuan, with a hint of a smile, announce loudly:

“Green Cloud Sect, Jiang Fan…”
