Regardless of whether there was poison in the wine, Xu Fengqiu didn't need to care anyway.
He had the Body of Ten Thousand Poisons, and feared no poison.
They drained their cups.
"Sect Leader Jun, esteemed members of the Immortal Palace, what exactly is the matter that has led to the invitation of all the top forces of the entire Nine Provinces?"
"Indeed, this is unprecedented. What major event has occurred?"
"Please, esteemed members of the Immortal Palace, enlighten us."
"… …"
Jun Tianchao then looked at the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mystery Gate and said, "Your Excellency, perhaps you could explain the matter to everyone first."
Everyone's eyes turned to him.
"Heavenly Mystery Gate?"
"Everyone."
The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Mystery Gate wore a solemn expression.
"According to the Heavenly Mystery Gate's deduction of heavenly secrets, we have received information that within a year, the passage between the Eight Desolations and the Nine Provinces will open!"
"What!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes widened, and a clamor arose.
"The passage between the Eight Desolations and the Nine Provinces is about to open?"
"It's going to open within a year? Hiss—this?"
"This old man even thought that the passage might not open for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Now, it's going to open within a year? Doesn't this mean that the Nine Provinces are about to face a calamity?"
"… …"
This matter was truly something that no one had expected.
However, this matter was definitely worthy of the sect leaders of all the major sects coming here.
When Xu Fengqiu heard this news, he was actually quite surprised.
He had learned that the passage would open within half a year.
Therefore, he needed to speed up some of his actions.
He didn't expect that they would also be able to obtain this information?
This Heavenly Mystery Gate is indeed powerful. In the area of deducing heavenly secrets, they are truly in a league of their own.
However, the information they obtained was not as accurate as Xu Fengqiu's.
Xu Fengqiu had learned that it would be in about half a year.
While they said within a year.
But, this is not good news.
Jun Tianchao actually knew this news as well.
Now that everyone knows, it's actually not good for Xu Fengqiu's upcoming plans.
Simply put, the entire Nine Provinces might fall into a predicament next.
At this critical moment, you, Xu Fengqiu, are having a major conflict with the Immortal Palace, the strongest sect in the Nine Provinces, fighting to the death.
Would the other sects agree?
You can fight, but not now, right?
Now, you should preserve your strength to deal with the uncertain dangers after the passage opens.
What needs to be considered is the entire Nine Provinces, not the struggle between sects.
Jun Tianchao said, "The passage will open within a year, but no one knows what will happen after the passage opens. What we can foresee is that many people from the Nine Provinces will go to the Eight Desolations through the passage. This is not important to us. What is important is whether people from the Eight Desolations can come to our Nine Provinces through the passage? If they can, what will be the result for the Nine Provinces?"
A strong man said, "Whether they can enter the Nine Provinces is one aspect, and another aspect is how many people will enter the Nine Provinces."
"There are a few points that are beyond doubt. First, no matter how many people enter the Nine Provinces, they must be existences that we cannot resist. Even if we can, even if we use all our strength, we may only be able to deal with a few of them, but we will have to pay an unimaginable price."
"Secondly, human nature is the same. They have come to a world where they are kings. What will they do? Burning, killing, looting, disregarding everyone, claiming kingship and hegemony, killing anyone who disobeys them, handing over good treasures to them, making beautiful women their women… Recklessness, this is human nature."
"Then, what will inevitably be brought is the disaster of the Nine Provinces! This is beyond doubt, unless, unless the people of the Eight Desolations cannot come to the Nine Provinces, which is the best news. But we must never make the best plan, we must make the worst plan."
"That's right, we must make the worst plan. It is possible that the disaster of the entire Nine Provinces is about to arrive."
"Moreover, this matter is not just our business. I think we should inform the Demon Clan. Although the Human Clan and the Demon Clan have always been enemies, this time it is a disaster for the entire Nine Provinces."
The crowd also nodded.
"Everyone, what I want to say is that I think there shouldn't be too many people coming to the Nine Provinces from the Eight Desolations. Otherwise, I think someone in the Eight Desolations will definitely stop this from happening," Jun Tianchao said.
"That's right, in theory, we should prevent this tragedy from happening. If there is a place that is the lower plane of the Nine Provinces, the passage opens, and we, as the top sect of the Nine Provinces, absolutely do not want anyone with impure motives from the Nine Provinces to go to the lower plane to do whatever they want."
"Sect Leader Jun's words really hit the nail on the head. This old man agrees with Sect Leader Jun's words."
"… …"
Everyone also spoke.
Jun Tianchao said, "Therefore, if this is the premise, although the enemy is very powerful, we may not necessarily lose. What do you think, everyone?"
"Then we need the cooperation between all the sects, and at the same time, the sects may need to take out their respective trump cards to deal with the enemy."
"If that's really the case, then it's necessary."
"Sect Leader Xu, what are your thoughts?"
"Yes! Sect Leader Xu should know more about the Eight Desolations than we do. I wonder if Sect Leader Xu can share his insights."
"… …"
Everyone's eyes also turned to Xu Fengqiu.
Xu Fengqiu then said lightly, "I don't know who spread the news that this Emperor knows a lot about the Eight Desolations. How could this Emperor know anything about another world?"
Xu Fengqiu continued, "I did obtain the inheritance of the Eight Desolations, but throughout the Nine Provinces, I am definitely not the only one who has obtained the inheritance of the Eight Desolations or some power. It's just that what I've shown is more eye-catching. As for these Eight Desolations, I really don't know much, or rather, I know nothing."
Jun Tianchao then asked, "At least Sect Leader Xu knows more than we do, at least you know more about the power of the Eight Desolations than we do. We are just bystanders, having witnessed Sect Leader Xu using these powers. Then, I wonder if Sect Leader Xu can share some of it."
"Yes! Sect Leader Xu can share some of it, such as the power you have obtained. In your opinion, how much stronger is the power of the Eight Desolations than our Nine Provinces?"
"Yes, understanding these things will give us a little bit of a sense of proportion."
Xu Fengqiu said, "Strong is strong, but I don't know how strong. How strong is what everyone sees of the power I have displayed. At least killing Supreme Immortal Emperors will be relatively easy, right? As for the specifics, I can't say."
Everyone nodded.
"Everyone, regarding this matter, we still need to discuss too many things, and we may even need to discuss a way to cooperate," Jun Tianchao said.
