Seven bells rang.
The seven sacred decrees shattered.
This signifies the fall of seven elders.
This is a declaration of war for the Holy Court.
Inside the Sacred Hall, the temple master, two deputy temple masters, and two other elders sat in the Sacred Hall.
The five men stared at the seven empty chairs, their faces grave.
"I remember those seven were ordered to go to the Star Orbit in the Six Realms to keep watch, right?" the Second Elder asked in a deep voice.
The Grand Elder nodded. " The Six Realms Star Orbit Tracks are already under lockdown. Although we don't know why we were ordered to stay there, the cultivation civilization in that area is only considered average by the standards of the World Tree, much weaker than our Soaring Realm."
One of the graceful female deputy hall masters looked at the Grand Elder and shouted, "Then explain why all seven of them were wiped out? And when our people arrived, they couldn't find even the slightest trace of a fight, or even a corpse or remnant soul!"
The Grand Elder remained silent, his face grim.
You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?
He wanted to know too!
Those seven elders were renowned figures in the Soaring Realm, so how could they have been completely wiped out?
"Alright." The Palace Master patted the table and said calmly, "Since things have come to this, let's not blame each other. The opponent's strength is clearly far superior to that of the seven elders; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to kill all seven elders almost simultaneously without leaving a trace."
The pupils of the two deputy hall masters and the two elders suddenly contracted.
The temple master looked at the two elders and asked, "Do you think you can do this?"
At this point, the Palace Master looked at the two Vice Palace Masters, tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, and said calmly, "And what about you two?"
Before they could answer, the Palace Master stood up, his black and white hair fluttering, and pointed at himself, saying, "Even I couldn't have done this unless I had launched a surprise attack on them when they weren't prepared."
The four remained silent.
The Palace Master produced the imperial decree and said calmly, "Regardless of the circumstances, let's prepare for the worst. A figure has appeared in the Six Realms that we also find difficult to handle. We request that the higher authorities send someone down to the mortal realm to assist us."
The four looked at each other, their expressions hesitant.
"Are you saying this will damage the reputation of our Holy Court of the Soaring Realm? Or that it will affect the allocation of resources?" The Palace Master sneered, "If any one of you could resolve this matter, there would be no need for this, but unfortunately neither of you can... and neither can I."
If bigger problems arise then, the impact will be far more than just on reputation...
Having said that, he offered no further explanation and used the holy decree to send a message to the Holy Realm and the Holy Court.
now.
In the Changsheng Realm, before the Star Orbit Well.
Ye Qiubai and the others have assembled.
As for Chu Yan and He Mengshen, Lu Changsheng would never allow them to enter the Changsheng Realm.
When they set off, Lu Changsheng would use spatial means to throw them directly into the Star Orbit Well.
"Alright, the enemy's spies have been mostly removed." Lu Changsheng tossed a token to Ye Qiubai and the others, which contained a hidden Power of Space.
"I've set up spatial nodes within the Star Orbit. You can simply take this token to the node; this will prevent them from detecting you when you enter through the main entrance."
Huang Qian covered her head and said, "Have I heard something terrible again?"
Liu Ziru, Xiangliu, and the others were completely dumbfounded.
Willow Tree explained helplessly, " Star Orbit trails exist in the endless universe, filled with the turbulent Sanqian Dao Law. Trying to create a spatial passage within Star Orbit is tantamount to bringing the dead back to life."
Du Zhong, standing nearby, asked, "Do you want to come along?"
Mu Wan'er shook her head and said, "I won't go for now. I'll stay in the Six Realms and continue honing my alchemy skills. I feel like I've reached a bottleneck, and there are still many new Pill Formula I want to try."
Mo Yu smiled and nodded, "Me too."
Then, Du Zhong looked at the eager Xiao Hei, Shi Sheng, Xiao Shitou, and Fang Qiong, and said, "You shouldn't go even if you want to. Xiao Hei can use the violent Power of Rules the endless space's rules to temper his body."
Xiao Hei was taken aback. "Can I handle it?"
Du Zhong pointed at Lu Changsheng, "Your master can even open up a space tunnel in the Star Orbit, go find him."
"As for Shi Sheng, you should first focus on comprehending the Star Orbit. This place was built using the Power of the Stars, and comprehending the Star Orbit will greatly enhance your Power of the Stars."
" Xiao Shitou, your Power of Space is the same, I don't need to say more, right?"
" Fang Qiong, your formations can also be well honed in that endless space."
The four of them originally wanted to go and explore, but after hearing what Du Zhong said, they had no choice but to agree.
Du Zhong waved his hand and said, "Believe me, you will soon have your chance to make a move, and by then your strength will definitely not be weaker than the others."
Xiao Hei grinned and said, "That's great! We'd better make sure our senior and junior brothers aren't left far behind."
Ye Qiubai rolled his eyes and said, "It's a blessing that Junior Brother's cooking skills have improved."
Ye Qiubai has been tormented by this matter quite a bit these past few days.
What was finally determined was...
Ye Qiubai, Hong Ying, Ning Chenxin, Mu Fusheng, Xu Yeming, and Jiu Bailu head to the Soaring Realm.
"Alright, alright, the old man has arranged everything, so that's settled then." Lu Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Let me remind you of something first: the Holy Court has spies everywhere in the Soaring Realm. If you continue to act as arrogantly as you do here, it won't be long before I'm there to collect your corpses."
Xu Yeming chuckled, "It's alright, Master will come and collect their corpses later."
Lu Changsheng gave Xu Yeming a sharp rap on the head, "If you guys keep messing around like this, see if I don't save you!"
Mu Fusheng said, "In that case, let's disguise ourselves and conceal our presence first."
They all nodded.
On the other side, Du Zhong opened the Star Orbit Well and said, "Alright, go in now. Once you get there, you can figure out what to do. But just remember one thing: if you hear any news about the World Tree, you must fight for it."
After saying that, Ye Qiubai and the others stepped directly into the Star Orbit Well.
Lu Changsheng also used spatial techniques to throw Chu Yan and He Mengshen, who were outside the Changsheng Realm, into it.
Seeing the Changsheng Realm suddenly much emptier, Lu Changsheng felt quite uncomfortable.
Seemingly sensing Lu Changsheng's mood, Mu Wan'er leaned closer and said with a playful smile, "Master, are you starting to miss your senior brothers and junior brothers?"
Lu Changsheng crossed his arms and sneered, "I can't wait for them to get lost."
"Whee!"
Lu Changsheng looked in the direction of the Star Orbit Well, his expression somewhat serious.
Du Zhong asked from the side, "Are you worried about the identity of the He Mengshen?"
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly. "My clone found news about Chu Yan over there, but as for He Mengshen... apart from the Yin-Yang Heavenly Pool, there's very little information. They only say that he comes from Bright Moon City and is an unparalleled genius of Bright Moon City."
Du Zhong asked, "Doesn't that reveal my identity?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly.
I have a feeling it's not that simple.
