In the Demon Lord Hall, Wuma Changkong, as the host, naturally occupied the highest seat.
Next to him were the Wanjin Dragon Emperor, the Four Ancestors, Jin Shan, Baili Qinghong, and Qing Shengyu, among others.
As for the White Jade Dragon Sovereign, Nangong Xuandie, and Yu Qingfeng, although they were all overlords within a million-mile radius of Overseas Immortal Island, their strength was only at the Initial Stage of God Slaying.
Such cultivation levels were common in the Inner Domain, and there were many powerful figures of this caliber among the four major forces.
Thus, they could only sit in the lowest positions.
Even Ye Fan, the top Guest Expert of the Supreme Demon Sect and Wuma Changkong's nominal future son-in-law, had to sit in the same position as the White Jade Dragon Sovereign, Nangong Xuandie, and Yu Qingfeng.
In summary, in a world where strength reigned supreme, everything still depended on power.
Apart from those who possessed Ascension Tokens.
Among those they brought with them, only a very few could remain in the Demon Lord Hall at this time, sitting behind their respective sect leaders.
The rest of the powerful figures and disciples had been arranged by Wuma Changkong's people to take a short rest at Listening Rain Pavilion.
As he surveyed everyone in the Demon Lord Hall, these were all beings standing at the pinnacle of Azure Wave Continent—super experts at the Late Stage of God Slaying.
Each one was formidable and terrifying.
However, when looking at the White Jade Dragon Sovereign, Nangong Xuandie, and Yu Qingfeng—even himself—standing alongside these super big shots made him feel utterly incomparable.
They were simply not on the same level.
He could only say that it was due to Wuma Changkong's protection that he was able to retain his Ascension Token.
So what about the White Jade Dragon Sovereign, Nangong Xuandie, and Yu Qingfeng?
Wuma Xian'er sat beside Ye Fan, who was puzzled. He directly transmitted his thoughts to her, saying, "Sister Xian'er, with the strength of the Four Major Powers of the Inner Domain, why don't they just take the Ascension Tokens held by the White Jade Dragon Palace and Sky Edge Pavilion? Is there some reason for this, or is someone protecting them?"
In Ye Fan's view, if there weren't someone backing the White Jade Dragon Palace and Sky Edge Pavilion or some other reason at play, then with the strength of White Jade Dragon Sovereign, Nangong Xuandie, and Yu Qingfeng, they wouldn't be able to keep hold of the Ascension Tokens.
They wouldn't even need to lift a finger; any one of the Four Major Powers of the Inner Domain could simply say a word.
Whether it was the White Jade Dragon Sovereign from the White Jade Dragon Palace or Nangong Xuandie and Yu Qingfeng from Sky Edge Pavilion, they would have no choice but to hand over the Ascension Tokens willingly.
To Ye Fan, being granted a spot to enter the Celestial Mansion was already considered a great favor.
Clearly, as the daughter of Wuma Changkong, the leader of the Supreme Demon Sect, Wuma Xian'er understood something about the balance of these peak powers and their intentions.
Thus, when she heard Ye Fan's transmission, she didn't find it strange at all.
Instead, she replied directly through thought: "There are only ten Ascension Tokens in total. Four of them are held by the Four Major Powers of the Inner Domain themselves. One is in the hands of Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom's Azure Wave Emperor, which is Qing Shengyu."
"The other two are held by our Southern Border Supreme Demon Sect and Bloodthirsty Demon Sect's Demoness."
"Adding in the one you possess, that makes eight gone. Aside from you, any other force holding an Ascension Token can be considered an absolute Overlord-level existence."
"But aside from those already held by them, only two remain. Think about it—if they don't let it fall into the hands of forces like White Jade Dragon Palace and Sky Edge Pavilion, how will these super Overlords divide them?"
Ye Fan furrowed his brows slightly as understanding dawned on him. He nodded and said, "This is what they call the balance of power."
Wuma Xian'er cast a captivating glance at Ye Fan. Although she didn't speak, she gave him a knowing look that conveyed her intelligence.
It can be said that although the White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie, along with Yu Qingfeng, possess an Ascension Token, even if they were granted a spot to enjoy the same treatment in entering the Celestial Palace of the Sky, given their strength, would they truly gain any advantage from being inside?
It is likely that even if a tremendous opportunity lay before them, their abilities would prevent them from daring to compete for it.
Otherwise, in an instant, the Overlords of the Inner Domain, including the Azure Wave Emperor, Qing Shengyu, and even Wuma Changkong and the Bloodthirsty Demon Sect's top experts could easily obliterate them.
Every being at the Overlord level is ruthless; none are soft-hearted.
While it may seem that the White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie have been granted entry into the celestial abode, in reality, their lives and deaths are no different from those controlled by these super Overlords.
"How tragic!"
Understanding this, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for the White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie as he glanced their way.
Upon noticing Ye Fan's gaze, Nangong Xuandie and the White Jade Dragon Sovereign both revealed faint smiles and gently nodded at him.
"Young friend Ye Fan, you must be wondering how we are able to hold onto an Ascension Token despite our strength!" The voices of the White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie echoed in Ye Fan's mind.
At this moment, Wuma Changkong and the other big shots were engaged in conversation, leaving no room for White Jade Dragon Sovereign and his companions to interject due to their lack of standing.
Thus, they remained unnoticed. However, even though Ye Fan had just communicated with Wuma Xian'er through thought transmission, the White Jade Dragon Sovereign and his companions had still observed it. From the expressions exchanged between Ye Fan and Wuma Xian'er, they could roughly guess that a conversation was taking place.
Ye Fan did not deny it and nodded in acknowledgment to both of them.
Even a fool would likely have such doubts.
Surely, those big shots, including the White Jade Dragon Sovereign and Nangong Xuandie, were well aware of what was on everyone’s mind.
As expected, the White Jade Dragon Sovereign transmitted his voice, saying, "I believe the doubts in Young Friend Ye Fan's heart have already been clarified by Miss Xian. In fact, we understood their intentions when they obtained the Ascension Token."
"Young Friend Ye Fan should also understand what a celestial Cave represents for us cultivators. Even if there are some dangers involved, what does that matter?"
"Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still choosing to venture into the tiger's den." Ye Fan nodded in response. "You are right; opportunities have always coexisted with dangers. If one is overly cautious due to fear, then they are destined to never become strong."
"Young Friend Ye Fan is sharp and insightful." The White Jade Dragon Sovereign looked at Ye Fan with a hint of admiration and continued to transmit, "As long as we are careful and prudent after entering the celestial mansion, we should be fine."
"Exactly. We have decided that if we enter the celestial mansion, we will only seek opportunities on the outskirts and will not delve deeper. We certainly won't compete with those super strong individuals for treasures and opportunities," Nangong Xuandie also transmitted.
Surely, just picking up some leftovers, these peak experts wouldn’t be stingy enough to take action against them!
Ye Fan nodded again, but Nangong Xuandie suddenly looked deeply at Ye Fan and spoke seriously in a private transmission: "Ye Fan, I have one more request."
