A choice

It was known in the whole world about how it was the Mighty Heaven Sword Region, led by the Sword Master Xuanyuan Wentian who attacked the Divine Phoenix Sect to eliminate it.

However, the deaths of the Sword Master Xuanyuan Wentian and all the experts of the Mighty Heaven Sword Region led by him remained a mystery.

The Mighty Heaven Sword Region sent even more individuals to investigate the matter but found out that a vast formation was raised and it covered their vision. After the formation disappeared, not a single expert of the Mighty Heaven Sword Region could be seen.

It was as if this formation had swallowed them whole.

Well, it wasn't wrong to say that. Yang Tian did absorb all their energy and vitality and placed it within his Exquisite World using the God-Devouring Miniature World technique.

Yang Tian had started absorbing the energy from the Purple Veined Divine Crystals which he had stolen from the Divine Phoenix Empire's treasury and the Supreme Ocean Palace.

Time passed in the blink of an eye…

A little less than 2 years later…

Since there was no Divine Phoenix Sect, there was no Seven Nations Ranking Tournament. Meaning, he could effortlessly enter the Primordial Profound Ark once it opens up…

Yang Tian had reached the 6th Level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, though he kept it hidden from Chu Yuechan and Cang Yue. He had also reached the 4th Stage of the 'Great Way of the Buddha.'

The two were at the 5th Level of the Tyrant Profound Realm and the 3rd Realm of the Tyrant Profound Realm respectively.

Many Sacred Land people have sent their disciples to the Divine Phoenix Empire since they wanted to enter the Primordial Profound Ark as well. All these disciples were accompanied by strong experts.

From the Absolute Monarch Sanctuary, they had sent Xia Yuanba and a couple more disciples.

Yang Tian did know of where Xia Yuanba was. And a smile appeared on his lips 'Time for me to get the returns of taking care of you for so long and making you attached to me.'

With that, Yang Tian had spoken to Yun Canghai and told him, "Your patience has borne fruits. Follow me…"

With that, Yang Tian made Yun Canghai follow him to the entrance of the Primordial Profound Ark. There… He saw multiple experts gathered around.

'Heh… Yuanba has become a Sovereign Profound Expert. Moreover, he is at the 3rd Level of the Sovereign Profound Realm. Looks like making him reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm did have its reward. Right now… His Divine Veins haven't even awakened completely.'

This sort of progress from Xia Yuanba was not bad in Yang Tian's eyes.

He silently moved ahead together with Yun Canghai.

It was Xia Yuanba who noticed Yang Tian there.

He was standing together with his master, but he did not hesitate in calling out for Yang Tian from his position, "Brother Tian?! You are alive?!"

Yang Tian did turn his head towards Xia Yuanba's direction and gave him a surprised look, "Woah! Yuanba? I didn't expect to see you here!"

At that time, Xia Yuanba immediately rushed to Yang Tian's position, paying no heed to his master.

Ancient Blue continued to stare at Yang Tian, somewhat surprised and confused. He found that he couldn't see through the strength of this person and the feeling he received from this person was quite threatening.

As Yang Tian met up with Xia Yuanba, Yun Canghai continued to stare at the Ancient Blue. He could sense that this person was from the Sacred Land and if his memory served him right, from the Ancient Monarch Sanctuary.

Fortunately, it seems that Ancient Blue hadn't yet realised Yun Canghai's true identity.

Some people from the Sun Moon Divine Hall appeared as well, it was Ye Xinghan. The guy seemed rather arrogant as he had appeared there just before the Primordial Profound Ark was about to open.

Since Xia Yuanba was too excited right now and he wanted to talk with Yang Tian for a long time, Yang Tian raised his hand and spoke, "Alright, let's talk more inside the Primordial Profound Ark."

"Alright, Brother Tian."

He then turned towards Ancient Blue and spoke respectfully, "Master, I will be accompanying Brother Tian. He is the one I told you of…"

"It's nice to meet you, Yang Tian. Yuanba had told me a lot about you. It seems that you took quite some care of him." Ancient Blue was speaking with a polite voice.

"Likewise…" Yang Tian replied before turning his head towards the Primordial Profound Ark.

As soon as the entrance opened, he along with Ancient Blue, Xia Yuanba, Yun Canghai, and some other people from the Sacred Lands were the first people to move.

After entering the Primordial Profound Ark, Yang Tian took Yun Canghai and Xia Yuanba to another place. Basically, he was splitting up from Ancient Blue.

"Yuanba… It appears that you have grown rather strong." Yang Tian commented while staring at Xia Yuanba.

Xia Yuanab was really excited and spoke out, "Yes, brother Tian! After I thought you died… I came to the Divine Phoenix City and cultivate with all my might. When I would be in grave danger, I would suddenly explode with a great amount of power, and then one day, I suddenly comprehended the 'Great Way of the Buddha'. Right now, I am at the 1st Stage of the 'Great Way of the Buddha.'"

"Hmm… That's not bad. Now comes the serious issue… Tell me, Yuanba, who would you choose between the Absolute Monarch Sanctuary and me? Are you willing to follow me to the Realm of the Gods?" Yang Tian straight away asked the most crucial question.
