“Wanjin Dragon Emperor, what do you say?”
Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, Wuma Changkong turned to look at Wanjin Dragon Emperor with his hands clasped behind his back and asked.
Wanjin Dragon Emperor's cold gaze swept over everyone present, and he spoke calmly, “Since everyone has already made their decision, let us discuss the number of people each faction can bring into the Celestial Palace.”
After hearing the words "Eastern Wilderness," it was clear that Wanjin Dragon Emperor remained the most composed among those present.
The Eastern Wilderness was a place that even the strongest of the Pinnacle of God-Slaying feared.
Under normal circumstances, neither the other leaders of the Pinnacle of God-Slaying nor Wanjin Dragon Emperor would dare to step into such a perilous area.
However, since the location of the Celestial Palace was in the Eastern Wilderness, they had no choice but to venture forth, regardless of the dangers that lay ahead.
“That's exactly what I mean,” Wuma Changkong nodded. As the leader of the Supreme Demon Sect and a Demoness, she was certainly not one to be easily intimidated by the mention of Eastern Wilderness.
“Good.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Under their control, the Ascension Tokens were quickly retrieved.
Although they now knew where the Celestial Palace was located, the Ascension Tokens were still the keys to enter it.
There could be no mistakes; they had to be kept safe.
Ye Fan, White Jade Dragon Sovereign, and Nangong Xuandie also put away their Ascension Tokens.
They exchanged awkward glances and smiled lightly.
It was evident that the leaders had completely disregarded their opinions and had not sought their input at all.
"Just get used to it."
The White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie both smiled at Ye Fan.
It was clear that during this time spent with the powerful figures from the Inner Domain, they had already grown accustomed to their arrogance and disregard for others.
Ye Fan didn't mind either; he nodded and smiled in return, and then the group began to listen attentively to the discussions of these leaders.
"As everyone knows, the Eastern Wilderness is a desolate secret realm, known as Crimson Earth for a Thousand Miles, where hordes of demons reside. Some of these beasts even possess the bloodline of ancient ferocious creatures, making them as powerful as Super Divine Beasts. Therefore, entering the Eastern Wilderness this time will undoubtedly be extremely dangerous. Let's discuss how many people we should bring!"
The Wanjin Dragon Emperor, seated in his original position, spoke first.
Jin Shan said, "Although the Eastern Wilderness is rumored to be perilous, this time we are entering together with strong individuals from all sides, almost gathering the peak powers of the Azure Wave Continent. We should have no fear."
"I completely agree with Jin Shan Sect Master," the Azure Wave Emperor said with an imposing expression. "Moreover, how can too many people enter a place like the Immortal Mansion?"
The Azure Wave Emperor did not elaborate further, but everyone understood that having one more person enter the Immortal Mansion meant one more person to share the spoils.
Of course, more people would be better.
The Four Ancestors sneered repeatedly but remained silent.
Confidently composed, he was a Super Divine Beast known as the Azure Water Qilin. Although his cultivation was still at the Late Stage of God Slaying, he did not regard even ordinary Pinnacle of God-Slaying experts as threats.
Thus, even when entering a dangerous place like the Eastern Wilderness, he felt no fear.
However, Baili Qinghong, the leader of the Ninefold Celestial Gate, clearly had a different perspective from everyone else. He pondered for a moment before speaking: "While what you all say is true, our understanding of the Eastern Wilderness remains limited. In my opinion, we should still exercise caution."
"So Baili Sect Master means we should bring more people?" Dugu Laomo squinted his eyes and grinned as he asked Baili Qinghong.
Baili Qinghong glanced at Wanjin Dragon Emperor and said, "I have some thoughts on this matter; I wonder if they are appropriate."
“Please share your thoughts, Sect Master Baili,” the Wanjin Dragon Emperor said with a gentle nod.
Wuma Changkong also turned his gaze toward Baili Qinghong.
Baili Qinghong replied, “We can differentiate the number of people entering the Immortal Mansion from those entering the Eastern Wilderness. Just because we bring a certain number into the Eastern Wilderness does not mean we must bring the same number into the Immortal Mansion.”
“The Eastern Wilderness is extraordinary and should not be taken lightly. Therefore, in my opinion, after we agree on the quota for entering the Immortal Mansion, we should also assign some experts to accompany us.”
“I wonder how everyone feels about this?”
After expressing her thoughts, Baili Qinghong looked around at everyone and asked, “What do you all think?”
The Wanjin Dragon Emperor did not voice his own opinion but instead inquired of the others.
Wuma Changkong glanced at Ye Fan and Wuma Xian'er before speaking, “I support Sect Master Baili’s words. Since we are entering the Eastern Wilderness, it is always better to send more people.”
“Separating those who will enter the Immortal Mansion from those who will enter the Eastern Wilderness,” Azure Wave Emperor nodded in agreement. “In that case, I certainly have no objections.”
“As for me, Ancestor, I am fine with whatever you decide,” Four Ancestors said with a hearty laugh.
Dugu Laomo pondered for a moment before saying, “That’s fine. Although we are not afraid of anything, we cannot guarantee that those who enter the Eastern Wilderness with us will be completely safe. It is ultimately better to take more people.”
“Since everyone feels this way, then I naturally have no objections either,” Jin Shan said coldly.
“Good. Then let us discuss the number of people each side will send into the Immortal Mansion!” Wanjin Dragon Emperor stated directly.
This time, Wuma Changkong was the first to speak with a smile, “In my view, since we don’t need too many people entering the Immortal Mansion, one Ascension Token carrying two quotas should be sufficient.”
“No way, two quotas are too few; we need to increase that number.”
Jin Shan of the Suspended King Sword Sect directly opposed the idea upon hearing it.
Baili Qinghong also nodded slightly and said, "Although the number of people entering the Immortal Mansion should not be too many, for each person who enters, it could be a tremendous opportunity. One Ascension Token for two spots is indeed a bit too few."
"Too few," the Four Ancestors said with a light smile, not elaborating further but also rejecting the proposal.
Dugu Laomo smiled but remained silent. Instead, he privately transmitted a message to Wuma Changkong, saying, "Wuma Changkong, you sly one. You think that just because you have two Ascension Tokens, you can lower the number of people entering the Immortal Mansion? That's quite an optimistic thought."
Upon receiving Dugu Laomo's message, Wuma Changkong did not deny it. He chuckled awkwardly and remained silent.
Although he did think that way, he had only mentioned it casually.
"I, representing the Qinglan Celestial Kingdom, must have four people enter. This means that one Ascension Token needs to carry three spots," Azure Wave Emperor stated firmly.
Besides himself, he had two Uncle Emperors who were also at the God-Slaying Stage accompanying him, along with Ji Yingzheng, the First Divine General of Qinglan Celestial Kingdom. That made exactly four.
Thus, apart from himself, he needed three more spots to enter the Immortal Mansion.
Three was just one more than before, so Wuma Changkong smiled and said, "I have no objections."
Wanjin Dragon Emperor remained silent while the Four Ancestors looked around at everyone else and asked, "What about you all? What do you think?"
