Half an hour before midnight, Jian Qianxiong, accompanied by over fifty high-ranking members who had been sitting in silence for two hours in the first layer of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar, ascended to the Ninth Layer Altar of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar.
There's truth in the saying: old ginger is hotter.
Jian Qianxiong had preemptively spoken of the significance of this divine sacrifice. After announcing it, he directly led the senior members of the Divine Sect to this secluded location at the Sun and Moon Divine Altar.
After all, among these fifty or so high-ranking members of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, no one could guarantee there wasn't a traitor within. Such precautions eliminated any possibility of leaked information.
The Ninth Layer Altar is extremely vast; even with fifty people spread throughout it, it still felt empty.
Yet, looking at the colossal divine statue, everyone felt a sense of anticipation, including the two Supreme Elders.
