The major powers from the Central Glorious Continent gather, but the Cui Clan is notably absent. While some dismiss the Cui Clan's disappearance as them finding a legacy, Qin Lingxiao suspects Bai Zihan's involvement. Ye Tianxuan questions Qin Lingxiao about any local forces capable of dealing with the Cui Clan, and she cautiously suggests the Bai Clan, though others doubt their two Golden Immortals could stand against the formidable Cui Clan.

Hearing those words, the expressions of the surrounding Central Glorious Continent cultivators immediately became serious.

If the Cui Clan had really discovered True God's legacy—

Then it might really explain why none of them had seen them in the Desolate Heaven Empire and why they had refused to meet anyone.

And if that were the case, all the time and effort they had spent searching would have been in vain.

The more they thought about it, the more worried they became.

"This is precisely why I gathered everyone here."

Ye Tianxuan's gaze swept across the surrounding cultivators.

"If the Cui Clan or another force has already discovered the location of the True God's Legacy, wouldn't we all lose out?"

"We have already wasted several days searching aimlessly. Continuing like this will only give others more opportunities to get ahead of us."

His voice became serious.

"Therefore, instead of continuing to waste time, why don't we work together? If we combine our information and search together, our chances of finding the True God's Legacy will naturally be much greater."

The surrounding cultivators gradually nodded.

"That's right! We should work together."

"There's no reason to continue searching independently."

"We should also share all the information we all know."

…

Qin Lingxiao's eyebrows rose slightly.

She already knew where the Cui Clan would be, so she wasn't worried about them finding the True God's Legacy.

What she didn't know was whether Ye Tianxuan truly was just afraid that the Cui Clan might have found the inheritance and suggest that they work together.

Or whether he was deliberately targeting her.

On the surface, he was presenting this as a proposal for everyone's benefit and perhaps out of fear that the Cui Clan might have found the inheritance.

But that might not be the only reason. It might also be to make her cough up the information.

Ye Tianxuan knew that the Qin Clan had arrived in the Desolate Heaven Empire much earlier than the others.

And as the first major force to arrive, they naturally had an advantage.

Especially because Qin Lingxiao had already spent considerable time investigating the Empire.

She might know information that the others didn't.

Ye Tianxuan clearly didn't want to let her maintain that advantage.

By suggesting that everyone work together and share information, he could eliminate the advantage of those who already possessed more information.

It was an open scheme.

And Qin Lingxiao couldn't avoid it.

If everyone agreed to cooperate and she alone refused, then she would immediately become a target.

Other than her, none of the other forces really had any major advantage, and they were sure to agree to Ye Tianxuan's proposal.

Just as Qin Lingxiao had expected, everyone agreed almost immediately.

"That's a good idea."

"Indeed. If we continue searching like this, who knows how long it will take before we find any clue?"

"Ten years might pass and we still might not find anything!"

"Exactly! We can't afford to waste that much time."

The possibility that the Cui Clan had already discovered something made everyone even more anxious.

They had already spent several days searching without gaining anything.

If the Cui Clan had really found the location—

Then they couldn't afford to wait any longer.

They couldn't even wait another week, much less ten years.

Ye Tianxuan slowly smiled.

He had already expected this reaction.

His gaze then shifted toward Qin Lingxiao.

"Miss Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Lingxiao naturally didn't refuse.

"Since everyone already agreed, I naturally have no objection!"

She had no other choice.

Besides, there really wasn't much information she had either.

Although she controlled the Imperial Family of the Desolate Heaven Empire, that didn't mean she could magically find the True God's Legacy.

Unless some actual information about the legacy appeared, even if she had billions of people searching every corner of the Empire, it would still be useless.

Therefore, cooperating with others wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

"Good!"

Ye Tianxuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Since everyone agrees, then we have nothing to argue about."

He looked around at the various Clans present.

"Of course, right now, only the major Clans are gathered here. There are still many powerful Sects and other factions in the Desolate Heaven Empire."

"I will make the same proposal to them. I don't think they will have any reason to refuse either."

Everyone nodded.

They naturally understood. If the Clans could pool their resources, then adding the Sects and other factions would make their search even stronger.

Ye Tianxuan continued.

"Once everyone works together and shares all the information they possess, finding the True God's Legacy shouldn't be too difficult."

"After all, there is strength in numbers."

The surrounding cultivators nodded in agreement.

The discussion soon came to an end.

The various Central Glorious Continent cultivators began eating and drinking again.

The atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Meanwhile—

In the private room next door, Bai Zihan had naturally heard everything.

Why else would he have chosen this restaurant?

He had already learned quite a bit simply by sitting here and listening.

However, there wasn't anything particularly useful either.

The Central Glorious Continent forces didn't reveal any important information about the True God's Legacy.

And the System hadn't detected any Heaven Chosen among them either.

This made Bai Zihan even more certain of one thing.

These people were probably not destined to obtain the True God's Legacy.

After all, only someone like a Heaven Chosen could obtain something as powerful as the True God's Legacy.

Bai Zihan's gaze flickered.

"Looks like Ma Qianxiu's fated inheritance really is the True God's Legacy."

Bai Zihan stood up.

He had already gotten what he came for.

There was no reason to stay any longer.

He turned around and prepared to leave.

But then—

"Wait!"

A voice suddenly came from behind.

Bai Zihan stopped.

He turned around and saw Ye Tianxuan walking toward him.

"Is there any problem?"

Bai Zihan smiled politely.

At the same time, his gaze swept over Ye Tianxuan from head to toe.

He already knew who this person was.

The information had come from the Cui Clan members he had captured.

Ye Tianxuan smiled gently.

"Why were you listening to our discussion?"

Bai Zihan's expression remained calm.

He smiled faintly.

"Listening?"

He shook his head.

"Young Master must be misunderstanding something. I was merely here having lunch."

He spread his hands slightly.

"I had no interest in eavesdropping on your conversation."

Ye Tianxuan's smile remained unchanged. But his eyes became slightly sharper.

"Is that so?"

He paused.

"So it is merely a coincidence that the Clan Leader of the strongest Clan in the Desolate Heaven Empire happened to be having lunch in the private room right next to us?"

His tone remained gentle.

But there was a faint probing meaning behind his words.

Bai Zihan looked at him calmly.

He hadn't expected Ye Tianxuan to notice him, not to mention recognize him.

This fellow was indeed not as simple as he appeared.

"Just a coincidence!"

Bai Zihan shamelessly declared.

Ye Tianxuan's expression twitched slightly.

"A coincidence?"

"Yes!"

Bai Zihan nodded seriously.

"What else could it be?"

Bai Zihan shamelessly lied.

Well, it was a public restaurant, and there was no reason for Bai Zihan not to be eating there.

How could Ye Tianxuan prove that Bai Zihan had been eavesdropping on him?

Bai Zihan looked completely calm.

Ye Tianxuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Truly a coincidence?"

"Really."

Bai Zihan answered without hesitation.

A faint twitch appeared at the corner of Ye Tianxuan's mouth.

He clearly didn't believe him.

"Then is it also a coincidence that you have your men keeping an eye on me?"

Bai Zihan's expression remained unchanged.

So Ye Tianxuan had already noticed Kong Zhanhong's people as well.

This fellow's perception and ability to gather information were indeed impressive.

Bai Zihan smiled.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Ye Tianxuan stared at him.

Bai Zihan simply continued smiling.

He looked completely innocent.

As though he genuinely had no idea what Ye Tianxuan was talking about.

Before Ye Tianxuan could say anything more, several figures began walking out of the restaurant.

The discussion had already ended, and many of the Central Glorious Continent cultivators were preparing to leave.

"Ye Tianxuan, why did you come out in such a hurry?"

Another person laughed.

"Don't tell me you are trying to escape without paying the bill?"

"Hahaha!"

Several people immediately joined in the laughter.

Of course, none of them actually believed that.

With the resources of the Ye Clan, buying the entire restaurant would be nothing.

Even buying the entire city wouldn't be a problem for a force of their level.

Ye Tianxuan simply smiled and didn't bother responding to the joke.

His gaze remained on Bai Zihan.

At this moment, Qin Lingxiao also walked out of the restaurant.

The moment she saw the two of them standing together, her eyes widened slightly.

She clearly hadn't expected Bai Zihan to be here.

And she certainly hadn't expected him to meet Ye Tianxuan.

For a moment, Qin Lingxiao's gaze moved between the two.

Her eyes flashed with interest.

(Now this is going to be interesting!)
