Chapter 1957: Chapter 1406: Grand Ceremony
Star Hunting Pavilion.
Ten Thousand Stars City, composed of over a hundred palace buildings and towers suspended in the sky, connected by Starlight Jade Chains.
In the vast heavens, countless stars shimmer, the celestial light drawn by arrays hangs inside the city, where palaces built with Star Sand shine brightly, and nebulae swirl, making Ten Thousand Stars City at night no darker than the day.
These days mark the time when the stars above the Cangding Realm are the most numerous and the brightest, also the centennial Star Festival.
And this Star Festival is particularly lively.
Because Master Ouyang Zijin and the Heavenly Sword Emperor decimated the Silver Universe Emperor Level, stabilizing the situation in Dong You and returning in triumph, the experts of the Seven Great Forces gather in Ten Thousand Stars City, inviting the world’s elites to a grand celebration.
Inside the city, Spirit Light flickers everywhere, as myriad cultivators arrive. Almost all well-known forces and loose cultivator experts within the Seven States of Cangding have received invitations to this event.
As for the Seven Superpowers, each has dispatched their leaders, bringing with them experts and promising youths, which makes this event exceptionally alluring.
As the festival is about to commence, tens of thousands of cultivators position themselves around the Star Court amidst various palaces, the closer one is to the center, the higher their status and power.
A closer look reveals there are over a dozen Emperor Level experts arriving from afar, with seven or eight hundred King Level experts present!
After everyone takes their seats, waiting for the festival to begin, familiar faces start conversing among themselves.
"Heh, Tianshan Daoist, you’re here too?"
"Mo Demon Head? It’s been a century since we’ve met! I can’t believe you’re still alive?"
"Hahaha, the way you put it, even if there was grass growing on my grave, I fear I wouldn’t die!"
Several King Level experts from Cangzhou gather to talk.
Mo Demon Head glances toward the center of the Star Court, lowers his voice, and says, "I’m afraid this festival isn’t just about celebration, is it?"
Tianshan Daoist lifts his horsetail whisk, nodding slightly, "The True Domains of the Seven Great Forces are all here. If there’s nothing important, these individuals wouldn’t personally gather together.
Moreover, apart from the Seven Great Forces, Emperor Level experts from first-class forces like Heaven Burning Hall, Canglang Pavilion, and Purple Cloud Saint Sect are also here. There’s a high chance something major is going to be discussed."
Mo Demon Head nods secretly, but his eyes light up upon spotting a short figure with sly eyes, casting glances around at the various cultivators within Ten Thousand Stars City:
"Isn’t that the Yellow Rat King, known for burrowing through mountains and seas, coming and going without a trace? Yellow Rat King, with your well-known intelligence, do you know the purpose of today’s festival?"
"Heheh, it’s Mo Demon King~" Yellow Rat King turns his head, sneeringly smiles, and says, "Over the past few years, not just in the Central Continent’s Sword Emperor City and Star Hunting Pavilion, but actions by superpowers and first-class forces across the Seven Continents have been frequent.
Martial God Mountain has gathered into Five Mountains, the Nine Layers of Sea has vanished without a trace... It looks like something big is brewing."
Tianshan Daoist’s face changes slightly: "Fellow Daoist, are you serious?"
Yellow Rat King, somewhat annoyed, purses his lips: "If you don’t believe me, don’t ask; if you ask, don’t question."
"Yellow Rat King generally doesn’t spread false news," Mo Demon Head muses, "Could it be an all-out war with the Silver Universe Realm? However, if a war with the Silver Universe Realm is indeed intended, then there would be no need for the return of the Heavenly Sword Emperor and the others."
Yellow Rat King, indifferent, replies: "Whatever it is, since the Star Hunting Pavilion and the Seven Great Forces have set up a grand banquet, inviting so many forces and experts, we’ll see the results in the coming days; just wait~"
Tianshan Daoist nods slightly: "Fellow Daoist has a point."
Not just Tianshan Daoist and a few others; for such a grand setup of the Star Festival, attendees from various factions are all discussing and speculating in secret.
Before long, at the center of the Star Court.
Star Shifting, as a burst of starry brilliance moves, several figures emerge—Heavenly Sword Emperor, Ouyang Zijin, Elder Lou, Jiuye True Master, Yao Yue Palace Master, Fang Wu, Master Ci’en.
Everyone’s eyes glimmer with intensity, seemingly a bit excited, because... they’ve just come from the Observatory!
Ouyang Zijin waves off the starlight from his fingertips, turning with a smile: "Everyone, was I wrong~"
"Good, good!" Fang Wu from Martial God Mountain says two ’good’ words in succession, eyes shining brightly, "It is indeed as Master Ouyang previously mentioned, with such an energy level, no more than fifty Emperor Levels!"
Jiuye True Master shakes his folded fan, looking toward the many cultivators arriving from the four directions, smiling: "Since that is the case, the seven of us will jointly present a force, leveraging the triumph of the Heavenly Sword Emperor and Master Ouyang’s return, to rally all Emperor and King Level experts to assault this realm!"
Everyone responds: "Agreed."
"Greetings to the Pavilion Master and esteemed Upper Emperors!"
Inside the Ten Thousand Stars Palace, numerous Star Hunting Pavilion experts, including Ye Xuzi and Chu Yuanba, have already gathered waiting.
Among them, the newly ascended Emperor Level, Ye Xuzi, is also the host for this Star Festival.
Though of the same Emperor Level, several present wield the power of a True Domain over a superpower, and as a junior, Ye Xuzi dares not be negligent.
Ouyang Zijin asks: "How are the Purple Mist Fairy of Biyou Palace, the Heavenly Divine Bull of Thunder Sound Mountain, and the Fire Cloud Evil Emperor of Burning Heaven Valley?"
Not every True Domain must establish a faction, and the three Ouyang Zijin refers to are all True Domain experts who operate solo within the Seven States of Cangding!
To attack a new world, the more top-tier combat power, the better.
Ye Xuzi respectfully responds: "Although they have not arrived personally, their direct disciples and trusted confidants have already arrived. I have arranged them well, just in the front row."
Ouyang Zijin and the others look up and see these individuals, their eyes brightening.
