Leaving the Continent, Seven Stars Shock the World

After the murmur faded.

Lin Yuan turned to the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall beside him and asked, "How are the arrangements in the various halls?"

Facing Lin Yuan's question,

the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall immediately reported, "Although time was rather tight, Tian Shu, Tian Ji, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang have all entered the Flame Demon Battlefield."

"The soul marks of the various halls have also been left at the main Spatial Channel entrances they guard, with Dou Saint experts stationed within the halls to protect them..."

"Furthermore, Nanming Sect, Dongji Sect, and all Seven Star Palace members who know of the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking are currently withdrawing from the Flame Demon Battlefield. Everyone is expected to return within three hours and shift to logistical support..."

"As for the hunting teams deep within the Flame Demon Battlefield...

"Other than Mistress and the two Young Masters, who cannot be contacted for the time being, everyone else has received the order and responded!"

Hearing this,

Lin Yuan frowned slightly.

The next moment, with a thought from him,

three Soul Jade Slips abruptly appeared before him.

After carefully inspecting them with his Divine Sense, he put the Soul Jade Slips away in relief and slowly said, "The three of them are fine. They merely entered a special place where the Seven Star Palace's Communication Jade Plaques cannot reach them."

"It is of no concern. After This Emperor enters the Flame Demon Battlefield, I will first find them and join up with them. Continue."

"..."

After reporting everything,

the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall seemed to think of something.

He suddenly said, "My lord, once the Seven Star Palace is exposed to the world, apart from Several Great Ancient Clans, countless beings across the continent will certainly come here to witness your majestic bearing as a Dou Emperor!"

"Though your reputation and Dou Emperor strength are enough to keep them from daring to do anything to the Seven Star Palace!"

"It does not seem appropriate for so many people to remain on the Meteor God Ice Plain indefinitely."

"How should this subordinate proceed when the time comes?

"Should I drive them away directly!"

"Or..."

In response to the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall's question,

Lin Yuan said indifferently, "They cannot even open the barrier, so there is no need to pay them any mind. The environment of the Meteor God Ice Plain itself will see them off for us."

"If those from the Seven Ancient Clans refuse to leave, then you may drive them out of the Meteor God Ice Plain in This Emperor's name..."

"Although the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking has changed quite a few things, the overall direction remains unchanged. Try not to affect the growth path of 'Second Generation Tian Quan Xiao Yan.'"

"Once Xiao Yan advances to Dou Saint!"

"The Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking should have nearly finished its review as well."

"Then everything can proceed according to the original plan. We will reveal the Flame Demon Clan's situation to the public... and use the strength of the entire Dou Qi Continent to wage a prolonged war against the Flame Demon Clan."

"Understood!"

Seeing the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall nod, Lin Yuan was just about to leave.

The next moment, as though he had remembered something, he suddenly took out three Silver Space Stones.

As he handed them to the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall, he said, "Oh, right. If you see the clan leaders of the Yao Clan, Ling Clan, and Shi Clan, Tian Quan, find an opportunity to give them these Space Stones."

"Also tell them..."

"Crushing a Space Stone can save their entire clan."

"But the price is that their clans will become Affiliated Clans of the Seven Star Palace from then on..."

To Lin Yuan, if the Yao Clan, Ling Clan, and Shi Clan were still wiped out by the Soul Clan with him around, it would be far too wasteful. It would be better for them to die on the Flame Demon Battlefield than at the hands of the Soul Clan.

Especially the Yao Clan...

One had to know,

the Seven Star Palace, which frequently fought the Flame Demon Clan, was in desperate need of pills.

Otherwise, why would it still have Pill Tower refine Healing Pills of every grade across the continent despite the Seven Star Palace having so many high-level alchemists?

Those alchemists of the Yao Clan

had long been coveted not only by Lin Yuan, but also by the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall, who oversaw the Seven Star Palace's logistics.

Therefore,

considering that they still had some use,

Lin Yuan was willing to give them a chance to survive.

As for whether they could seize it, that would depend on themselves.

After giving all his instructions, Lin Yuan's figure flickered and vanished from the spot. He rushed into the Spatial Channel suppressed beneath the Seven Star Palace, left the Dou Qi Continent, and headed for the Flame Demon Battlefield!

Watching Lin Yuan disappear completely from sight,

the Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall first stored the three Space Stones in his Storage Ring.

Then, with a flip of his hand, he took out a silver mask engraved with the pattern of the Big Dipper from his Storage Ring and put it on.

Once this mask was worn,

it meant that all past identities had become as fleeting as clouds.

Beneath the mask, he had only one identity: the Seven Star Palace's First Generation Wen Qu Tian Quan Star!

At the same time,

as the image of Pill Tower gradually faded from the Heavenly Dao Light Screen,

before the expectant eyes of the continent's beings, a snow-white Ice Plain swept by wind and snow slowly appeared before them.

"Hm?"

"What place is this?"

"Why have I never heard of it?"

"It looks like the Meteor God Ice Plain, the forbidden land in the Far North of the Dou Qi Continent!"

"Could the continent's number one sect power be hidden deep within that endless wind-swept Ice Plain?"

"That cannot be right. I heard that Venerable Yao Yao Chen subdued his Bone Spirit Cold Flame on the Meteor God Ice Plain. This King also went there five years ago in search of treasure. That place was simply uninhabitable. Though I did not reach its deepest region, I found no traces of any faction's activities along the way?"

"If not for the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking, This King would never have known that such a place existed on the continent."

"Today has truly broadened my horizons..."

"..."

Amid countless discussions,

the image displayed by the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking continued drawing closer, delving deeper into the Meteor God Ice Plain and passing through several layers of barrier screens and the Sect Protecting Grand Formation.

In the end,

it projected an Ice Palace situated atop a snow-covered mountain peak.

When the plaque bearing the three vigorous characters, [Seven Star Palace], nearly filled the Light Screen,

the Frightening Heavenly Sound immediately followed, resounding throughout heaven and earth.

It revealed to the world

the mysterious veil of the number one faction on the Dou Qi Continent's Sect Power Ranking.

[Sect Power Ranking, First Place: Seven Star Palace]

[Reason for being on the list: The Seven Star Palace was founded by the Dou Qi Continent's Supreme Expert, 'Ice Emperor Lin Yuan.' Its headquarters is located in the deepest reaches of the Meteor God Ice Plain's forbidden region in the Far North. Under its command are the Seven Branch Halls of 'Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang,' scattered across the Dou Qi Continent, protecting the continent for thousands of years;

Seven Star Palace Master Lin Yuan possesses the cultivation of a Nine-Star Battle Emperor (equivalent to the peak of the 'Supreme Realm' in the Great Thousand World).

Each of the Seven Branch Hall Masters under the Seven Star Palace possesses strength at or above the level of a Nine-star Dou Saint. Countless Dou Saint experts reside within the branch halls, giving the palace an exceedingly profound foundation;

Although only the 'Hall Master of Tian Quan Hall' currently remains stationed in the Seven Star Palace, while Ice Emperor Lin Yuan and the Other Six Branch Hall Masters are not on the Dou Qi Continent, its overall strength still stands above all others, ranking first on the Sect Power Ranking!]

[Reward for being on the list: One Emperor Tier Cultivation Method, one Emperor Tier Dou Skill, one Emperor Tier Secret Method, and one divine ability.]

[All experts under the Seven Star Palace will have their levels raised by one star. (Without Origin Qi, one cannot advance to Dou Emperor. Therefore, the blessing for Nine-star Dou Saints will be stored until they break through to Dou Emperor.)]

[One Emperor Grade Pill containing Origin Qi.]

[One Emperor Grade Killing Formation. (Can be placed anywhere.)]

!!!

Looking at the words and images on the Gold Ranking,

the entire Dou Qi Continent seemed to have been frozen in time. Not a sound could be heard. Everyone stood rooted to the spot, gazing at the Gold Ranking above the heavens with disbelief filling their eyes.
