Chapter 314: The Alliance Leader's Observation! Two Passages
Chapter 314: The Alliance Leader's Observation! Two Passages
In a mysterious realm of nothingness not far from the Wushen Star Realm, Dongfang Ji had been in seclusion for many years.
"He actually managed to do it."
"It's worth all the effort I put in, especially gathering the materials for the Body Refinement Star Technique for him," Dongfang Ji sat cross-legged in the void, a smile on his face, "It seems he truly has a chance to pass through the Ninth Leaf World."
"Perhaps, there's hope that he can catch up to me in the future," Dongfang Ji said softly.
It was as if he were speaking to himself, yet also to those around him.
"I don't agree with that, Master," the deep voice suddenly spoke up, "He indeed has a chance to pass through the Ninth Leaf World, but to say he can catch up to you, Master? He still has a long way to go."
"If not for your desire..." the deep voice continued in a murmur.
"Haha, you shouldn't underestimate him either," Dongfang Ji shook his head, "No matter what, when I was at the Origin Warrior and Skysoar Warrior stages, I was definitely not as good as Li Yuan."
"But at the Demigod stage, you're on the path to invincibility. Cultivation has never been about short-term gains," the deep voice stated firmly, "The last time you took action in this Dimensional Domain was nearly a hundred years ago, and in that battle, you easily slew dozens of Demigods, even those at their peak."
"How long had it been since you became a Demigod? Less than ten years. Nearly a century has passed, and who in the outside world knows your true strength now?"
"If not for your pursuit of passing through the Nine Mountains World and your dedication to protecting the Seven Stars Civilization, you would have broken through long ago." The deep voice sounded rather dissatisfied, "Now, some in the Seven Stars Civilization actually believe that Li Yuan might surpass you in the future?"
Obviously, this deep voice held an extreme admiration for Dongfang Ji.
"Haha," Dongfang Ji laughed, "On the path of cultivation, you can't underestimate anyone."
"Moreover..."
"The birth of a genius like him in the Seven Stars Civilization is a blessing for the entire civilization and for me." Dongfang Ji smiled calmly, "Once Fang Hai breaks through and Li Yuan grows a bit more, I can truly put down the responsibilities on my shoulders."
Nearly a hundred years ago, for the sake of the Seven Stars Civilization, Dongfang Ji had made extensive preparations, such as establishing the Martial God Temple, implementing a comprehensive reward and punishment system, and creating the Seven Stars Treasury and the Star Art Treasury.
After that, Dongfang Ji rarely paid attention to the internal affairs of the civilization.
Even the surrounding civilizations were no longer seen as a critical threat.
The Thousand Demon Civilization didn't dare to invade again.
Even the 'North Moon Deity' of the Thousand Demon Civilization secretly made deals with him.
However, Dongfang Ji was well aware that the strength of a civilization couldn't rely solely on his own efforts.
The power of a civilization required constant tempering through blood and fire.
Hence, for many matters, as long as they didn't threaten the foundation of the civilization, he observed with indifference.
Let the Origin Warriors, Skysoar Warriors, and Demigods fight their battles.
Even when it came to his own descendants, he treated them the same.
If they wanted a peaceful life, he would provide them with that choice, but if they sought progress in martial arts cultivation, he let them forge their own path.
If they died? Then so be it!
Even when the Seven Stars Civilization faced certain crises, although he had the means to resolve them in advance, he chose to ignore them.
As long as the situation didn't spiral out of control, he wouldn't intervene.
Without crises, how could the entire civilization progress? Dongfang Ji had planted the seeds and was merely waiting for them to sprout... Only when they demonstrated sufficient effort and value would he lend a helping hand.
This was the case with Fang Hai and Li Yuan.
"That's true, the stronger they are, the better it is for you, Master."
"I'm also waiting for the day they truly mature."
"Only then can I accompany you, Master, and truly battle through the Dimensional River." A hint of longing seeped through the deep voice.
"Right."
"Master."
"There are two matters I must report to you," the deep voice turned solemn, "First, the planetary surveillance system I set up on the Blue Planet has detected a force that has been repeatedly attempting to infiltrate the virtual network host."
"They've launched multiple attacks, all of which I've managed to block."
"What force? The Thousand Demon Civilization?" Dongfang Ji furrowed his brows slightly.
The virtual network host was the core of a planet's secrets, housing vast amounts of confidential information.
In terms of importance, it was comparable to a Demigod.
"No!"
"The Thousand Demon Civilization doesn't have such advanced technology," the deep voice explained, "Their methods are unfamiliar, as if they're appearing for the first time... I've been trying to trace them back to their source, but to no avail."
"They seem to be gathering information only, and haven't taken any further action... They'd never expect our planet's virtual network host to be a Sixth-Rank standard..."
"Indeed."
"Investigate discreetly, and strive to locate their physical entity," Dongfang Ji said in a deep voice, "Once found, if the Guardian Legion's strength is insufficient, notify the Demigod Bai Shan and the others."
"Yes, Master," the deep voice replied.
"The second matter," the deep voice continued, "According to intelligence from the Thousand Demon Civilization's secret line, we should arrange an assassination attempt on the Spirit Lance, and it's expected that they'll activate their 'top-tier shadow assassin'."
"The strength should be comparable to a Skysoar Star Lord."
"Skysoar Star Lord level? Is it a hidden killer from another race or a traitor within our civilization?" Dongfang Ji asked, his brows furrowed.
"The probability of it being an internal traitor is higher."
"A deep voice spoke, "But we've never been able to gather intelligence on this aspect, as it's under the direct control of the Eastern Demon Deity, and our undercover agents can't get close."
"The Eastern Demon?" A hint of coldness flashed in Dongfang Ji's eyes.
Among the numerous civilizations surrounding the Seven Stars Civilization, the Eastern Demon Deity was one of the greatest threats in his eyes.
Unfortunately, Dongfang Ji had never found the right opportunity.
"Pass this message to Bai Shan Demigod," Dongfang Ji said, "Also inform Fang Hai, and have them discreetly protect... Once Li Yuan appears, escort Li Yuan to the Wushen Star Realm."
"Yes!"
...
On the Blue Planet, in the continent of Europa, there was a small, unassuming city with a large estate in its suburbs.
Today, a grand celebration was underway within the estate, a monthly banquet hosted by the Flying Sky Star Lord.
The attendees were the elite and nobility of Europa, as well as powerful warriors.
"Today, let us raise a toast to our Star Lord, wishing him a swift breakthrough to the Demigod realm and becoming the pillar of our Seven Stars Civilization," a middle-aged Caucasian man in a suit raised his glass and smiled.
"A toast to the Star Lord."
"To the Star Lord." Over a hundred attendees on the lawn chimed in unison.
"Thank you all," the young Caucasian man seated at the head of the table smiled.
As the Flying Sky Star Lord, he was nearly a hundred years old, but he could maintain his youth as long as he wished.
Suddenly, the young man's smile faded, and he said, "Please continue, I have something urgent to attend to."
He put down his glass.
The young man took a step forward and, like a gentle breeze, glided hundreds of meters away, entering a distant castle.
"Whoosh!" The attendees whispered among themselves, impressed by the speed, which had reached the speed of sound without making a sound.
At the bottom of the castle, there was a secret room, empty except for a single bed.
"Whoosh!"
The young man entered the room, his face now devoid of any smile. He flipped his palm, revealing a black sphere that emanated strange ripples and faint purple light, giving off an eerie aura.
"Crack!" The black sphere exploded, transforming into a cloud of black mist.
Swiftly, the black mist condensed into a faint figure, an intangible will enveloping the entire secret room.
"Great Deity..."
"Great Master," the young man knelt, his eyes filled with fervor. The once-lofty Flying Sky Star Lord now seemed like a humble servant.
"It's been a long time since I've awakened you," the black mist figure said slowly, "But this time, I need you to do something."
"Your command, Master," the young man replied respectfully.
"Use every means at your disposal," the black mist figure continued, "Kill the Spirit Lance!!"
The young man hesitated, "Master, if I take action, I fear the Demigods will hunt me down."
"Yes," the black mist figure's gaze fixed on the young man, "So, you have only one chance. After killing the Spirit Lance, immediately flee to the Wanhuan Star Realm... I will also create opportunities for your escape."
"Yes, Master!"
"I will do my best to complete the task," the young man assured.
Clearly, he wasn't a typical undercover agent who sold out his people's interests; he seemed to have his mind completely controlled.
He would obey orders without question.
...
In the Ming Xu Star Realm, the Seven Stars Civilization army led by Li Yuan had not stopped for even a moment.
In less than two days, they had swept through Ming Shan based on the intelligence provided by Lei Hui Beast King and their past information.
They had scoured the secret locations of the Ruin Beast Tribe and even the residences of the three Beast Emperors.
During this sweep, Li Yuan's forces had also slain over ten Flying Beast Kings they encountered.
These Beast Kings were unlucky, never expecting the Seven Stars Civilization army to launch such a swift and thorough operation.
Of course, most Flying Beast Kings had gone into deep hiding, and even with Li Yuan's strength, it would take time to find them.
At Tian She Lake, clouds and mist swirled.
However, compared to the past, the lake was now in disarray, and even the water had flowed out through a previous breach, leaving only half of it.
"Boom!" Massive warships broke through the layers of mist, descending upon the lake for the second time.
Over a dozen powerful figures descended from the ships, the leader among them a black-clad man holding a gun.
"Are you really planning to enter through the passage beneath Tian She Lake?" Tavarez asked, "Are you sure it's not a trap?"
The others also looked at Li Yuan expectantly.
"In these two days, we've searched Ming Shan thoroughly and found only these two passages," Li Yuan smiled, "I have no choice."
One passage was located on the outskirts of Ming Shan, marked as Passage 67.
The other passage was Tian She Lake itself.
Over a day ago, Li Yuan had led his army here, but the place was deserted.
Except for a few Flying Snakes of the second and third ranks and the island in the lake, nothing remained.
However, Li Yuan and Luo Chan discovered a passage at the bottom of the lake.
