Zhang Yan watched coldly from the sidelines, aware that this spectacle was outwardly aimed at persuading Elder Shen, but the real show was meant for him.
However, he was not like Elder Shen; giving up the token talisman so easily was simply impossible for him.
The object of contention for all sects was indeed a supreme treasure between heaven and earth, refined by Great Virtue Scholars in ancient times. It had the ability to capture the "Qiantian Junyang Essence" from the Nine Realms Heavens, allowing a cultivator to aspire to advance to the position of a Grotto Heaven.
This treasure was closely linked to a scroll of talismanic script, and only those who had signed the contract on this talisman could obtain a talisman token, which allowed them to extract Essence Qi from the treasure.
Thousands of years ago, this scroll of talismanic script found its way into the hands of cultivators in East Splendor Continent, leading to a grand event of contract signing by all sects.
