Chapter 286 Holy Emperor Earthshard
At the peak of the remote mountain, Timothy finally caught sight of Sylvia.
Under the moonlight, she stood before a monument, glowing faintly with a soft green hue, though it was unclear what it was made of.
She slowly bent down and placed a small, white flower on the monument.
"It's been so long since I could only visit you like this. I hope we'll meet again someday."
Her gaze lingered for a moment before she turned away, ending her quiet tribute.
But in the moonlight, the figure that was always so composed and dignified now seemed to carry a hint of sadness.
"Babe, are you okay?" Timothy walked up beside her, his voice gentle with concern.
"I'm fine. I was just remembering someone from the past."
She smiled faintly, though there was still a trace of sadness in her expression. Even so, her mood seemed to lift a little.
"Besides, who knows? Maybe one day I'll see her again."
Sylvia's eyes drifted toward the sky, her gaze sparkling with a quiet hope.
"Oh, by the way, there's something else."
Without warning, Sylvia grabbed Timothy and kissed him.
Her lips were soft and warm, carrying a delicate, sweet fragrance.
"I… I just wanted to mark the occasion," Sylvia said, turning her head slightly, a bit embarrassed.
"Who commemorates things like that?" Timothy chuckled.
Still, getting kissed out of the blue wasn't exactly something to complain about.
Especially under the moonlight, where Sylvia's shy, almost imperceptible gesture of curling her pinky finger made her look even more breathtakingly beautiful.
Just watching her like this filled Timothy's heart with warmth.
"But now, it's time to explore the Sepulcher of the Sacred." Sylvia's voice suddenly took on a more resolute tone.
"So soon?" Timothy was a little taken aback.
"Yeah, we can't delay any longer. I've heard you guys got your hands on the Chromatic Origin Stone, which can affect spatial shifts. It's likely connected to the Sepulcher of the Sacred, and it's proof that something's wrong inside."
Her voice was cool, and once again, the awe-inspiring presence of the Holy Emperor radiated from her.
"It seems we don't have a moment to lose," Timothy nodded in agreement.
With a single step, the Holy Emperor could traverse millions of miles.
In the blink of an eye, Sylvia had returned to the Sky Sanctuary.
A wave of divine authority spread out in all directions.
Instantly, countless disciples were jolted awake from their sleep, staring in awe and reverence toward the grand hall.
The elders, not daring to waste a second, rushed to the hall as quickly as possible.
Before long, all the elders and the temple guards stood solemnly on either side of the hall.
The cold, majestic aura that filled the air commanded respect from everyone present.
For Goddess Sylvia to summon them in the dead of night, something significant must have happened.
Everyone waited in silence, not daring to make a sound.
"Summon all the powers across the land. From this moment on, begin preparations to enter the Sepulcher of the Sacred. We depart tomorrow." Sylvia's voice finally broke the silence, carrying the weight of the Holy Emperor's authority, echoing through the hall.
At the same time, across the world, in every sect, every sanctuary, and every royal court where practitioners gathered, people looked up in shock.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Above each sect, a token hovered in the sky.
It glowed faintly, radiating a divine authority that filled all who saw it with awe.
This token came from none other than Goddess Sylvia herself!
"The Goddess is actually summoning all the practitioners!"
"What's going on? Could it be that we're finally entering the Sepulcher of the Sacred?"
"I can't believe this moment has come. But the matters within the Sepulcher of the Sacred are tied to the fate of the entire Elant continent. Right now, the only one who can unite the world and call upon all practitioners to enter the Sepulcher is Goddess Sylvia."
No one dared to take this lightly.
Even though many factions were reluctant to submit or associate with the Sky Sanctuary, more than half of the major sects and powers didn't dare delay. They quickly sent their representatives, rushing toward the Sky Sanctuary at full speed.
"Holy Emperor Luminis, what should we do…" In the Desolate Wastes, the elders surrounding Holy Emperor Luminis asked nervously.
Normally, Holy Emperor Luminis had little to do with the Sky Sanctuary, and now he had been injured by Timothy. This grudge… it seemed inevitable.
"This is a direct order from Goddess Sylvia… Forget it, I'll go myself."
To everyone's surprise, Holy Emperor Luminis gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand.
As he gazed into the distance, even his childlike eight-year-old form showed a trace of reverence.
Suddenly, several beams of light shot into the sky.
In an instant, dozens of swords descended from the heavens, hovering around Holy Emperor Luminis.
With a step that shattered the void, Holy Emperor Luminis, surrounded by the floating blades, set off toward the Sky Sanctuary.
At that moment, across the entire Elant continent, beams of light flickered in the sky.
These lights belonged to the representatives of various sects and factions, or even the Sect Leaders themselves.
Riding on their magical treasures, they all headed toward the Sky Sanctuary.
The glowing treasures streaked across the sky, creating a spectacle as magnificent as a sky full of stars.
Whether they were ordinary people or practitioners, everyone who looked up at the grand sight couldn't help but feel awe.
Even before her battle with the three Holy Emperors, Goddess Sylvia's reputation had already spread across the Elant continent.
But after that battle, her authority had grown to the point where the entire continent now feared and respected her!
As beams of light converged above the Sky Sanctuary, soon, countless practitioners stood solemnly on the vast mountain peak before the grand hall.
These practitioners stood in respectful silence, their eyes fixed on the Sky Sanctuary, not daring to speak.
But soon, someone couldn't help but exclaim.
"That's Holy Emperor Starwind, Cassian!"
"Holy Emperor Dawnveil is here too!"
The appearance of so many Holy Emperors was a testament to Sylvia's immense status and authority.
But then, as two more figures appeared, countless practitioners were left utterly stunned, unable to believe their eyes.
"That's… Holy Emperor Luminis!"
"Wasn't Holy Emperor Luminis just injured by Timothy? I can't believe he's still coming to the Sky Sanctuary."
"And that one…"
All eyes turned to the white-haired elder, floating gracefully in the air.
It was none other than Holy Emperor Earthshard, who had been in seclusion for hundreds of years!
And… alongside him was Holy Maiden Aeliana, who had always been close to Goddess Sylvia.
With just one command from Goddess Sylvia, not only had countless sect practitioners arrived in reverence, but even three Holy Emperors had come in person.
It was incredibly rare for Holy Emperors to appear in another Holy Emperor's domain. Such an act was not only seen as a loss of status but could even be interpreted as submission.
Yet now, three Holy Emperors had gathered at the Sky Sanctuary simultaneously.
This level of respect and authority was something no other Holy Emperor could ever hope to achieve!
As they gazed at the ethereal figure of Goddess Sylvia, shrouded in mist and clouds, countless practitioners were left speechless, their hearts filled with boundless reverence.
