The Hour of Hai, Divine Capital

Inside the Yu Divine Palace, over a hundred people had already gathered. In the front row, fourteen Martial Dao Saints from the Eight Great Sacred Lands stood clearly separated, while over a hundred Sub-Saints of Martial Dao below stood sparsely, without forming any obvious groups or factions.

This doesn't match the actual situation...…

Standing next to Jiang Yuyun, Hou Yuxiao only glanced at the over a hundred Sub-Saints of Martial Dao before focusing on the front row, on those fourteen Martial Dao Saints.

Apart from the Wanjian Holy Sect and Haoran Holy Sect, where only Jing Yuanxiu and True Man Yu Tian had come, the other six Sacred Lands had sent two Saints each. Unsurprisingly, Jing Yuanxiu and True Man Yu Tian were already standing together, while the other six Sacred Lands were clearly distinct, showing no signs of allying with each other.

And rightly so, as it is indeed the Holy Sect's Treasure Vault. Unless absolutely necessary, no one would probably dare to trust others. If backstabbed in the Treasure Vault, it would truly be a losing proposition...…

Hou Yuxiao's attention was entirely on these Saints' expressions. From their demeanor, one could basically discern the current state and strength of the world's major Sacred Lands.

Emperor of Jin Yuwen Dongdu and Sikong Xingzhou of the New Moon Cult had the most composed demeanors;

Mo Yunzi and Mo Yuan occasionally glanced at the Emperor of Jin, a fiery look in their eyes. After all, Liangzhou was still under attack by Great Jin. As the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master of the Demon Derivation Holy Sect, their expressions were understandable;

Xun Mu and Meng Qu from Bailu Academy, Zhao Yulong and Li Tingzong from Qinjian Villa, Zhang Ruoxu and Wei Xuheng from Ziqing Holy Sect stood slightly closer to each other than the others but clearly showed some wariness among themselves;

In contrast, Jing Yuanxiu and True Man Yu Tian stood closest together, apparently aware that their sects had sent only one Saint each and were the weakest compared to the other Sacred Lands, thus exhibiting a deeper sense of unity.

Apart from these, there was another subtle point:

The gaze of these Saints would inadvertently sweep across Sikong Xingzhou and Fahai, naturally due to Hou Yuxiao's influence.

"Hou Yuxiao, let us begin!"

Yuwen Dongdu was the first to speak. The other Saints did not contest him. When Yang Xuangan self-destructed the small square seal, trapping Leiyin Temple, the one who stepped in to keep the Holy Sect's seal was initially Great Jin. During the New Moon Festival, when Sikong Yue suggested letting Hou Yuxiao guard the seal, it was thanks to Great Jin's agreement. Thus, it was most appropriate for him to speak now.

Hou Yuxiao did not reply, merely nodding at Jiang Yuyun.

Jiang Yuyun, like a puppet, faced Yuwen Dongdu's disregard. Although Hou Yuxiao entirely ignored his existence, despite his raging anger, he held back and said nothing.

With so many Saints present, he indeed couldn't stir any waves, so it was better to obediently comply.

He took out the small square seal that Hou Yuxiao had given him earlier, gently tossed it forward, and it floated in midair, immediately radiating a layer of golden light, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

"As expected, there's a missing piece..."

Seeing the golden light emanating from the small square seal, with a defect appearing in the lower right corner, Hou Yuxiao couldn't help but comment.

This square seal had been with him for a long time, yet he hadn't noticed any defect. Remembering when Lin Xuangan self-destructed on Wanglong Mountain, the other Saints also hadn't detected the seal's imperfection. He realized that the complete form of this seal could only be revealed in the hands of the Jiang family's descendants.

Jiang Yuyun, without delay, slightly concentrated his expression, and a layer of spiritual light appeared from the sea of consciousness between his eyebrows. A diamond-shaped fragment slowly emerged from within.

The diamond-shaped fragment flew into the air, suddenly glowing with a golden light. As if summoned, it swiftly fused with the small square seal, perfectly filling the missing part.

Buzz...…

The restored Holy Sect's small square seal instantly intensified in golden light, like a vast golden sea, transforming the already splendid Yu Divine Palace into a golden ocean, blinding everyone's vision briefly.

Then, countless threads of restriction golden lines slowly extended, numbering at least millions. Under the stunned gaze of everyone, they outlined a golden mysterious gate in midair. The moment the mysterious gate appeared, the Holy Sect's small square seal also vanished into the void.

"Ten First Order, a hundred Second Order, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand... over ten million restriction golden lines, this… this… is it a Seventh Order Magic Formation?"

"The Sixth Order is already capable of dealing with immortal demons, the Seventh Order..."

"Is Mo Yunzi not a Sixth Order Array Saint?"

"A Seventh Order Magic Formation, this..."

Inside Yu Divine Palace, various Sub-Saints of Martial Dao voiced their astonishment in succession. Even Hou Yuxiao's eyes were filled with surprise, not just the Sub-Saints of Martial Dao. He noticed even the Martial Dao Saints' gazes contained a hint of awe.

"Mo Yunzi's understanding of array formations has reached such a level!"

"A Seventh Order Magic Formation, self-contained in the Celestial Domain, across the world, only Mo Yunzi could achieve such mastery. The Treasure Vault Celestial Domain, it seems that the Yu Shenzong left this small square seal not just to provide future generations with the opportunity to break through to Saint, but for other schemes. Great Emperor, this Treasure Vault... might be perilous."

Yuwen Dongdu and Zhuge Yuan's exchange immediately quieted the entire Yu Divine Palace, leaving everyone's expressions flickering.

Hou Yuxiao was no exception.

Zhuge Yuan's words were easy to understand.

If it's an array formation, then it's meant to be used against people. If the Holy Sect left behind the Treasure Vault Celestial Domain merely to give future generations opportunities, then there would be no need to set up an array formation, especially such a rare Seventh Order Magic Formation.
