"You ants dare to detain the avatar of my Seven Star Pavilion's Sect Master? If it weren't for the Sect Master's magnanimity, I would have this entire Tianbao Realm annihilated!"
Su Xiangming looked at Teng Yi, the Palace Master of the Boundless Star Palace, who was being eroded, then turned around and said, "Let's go, there's no trace of Wan Ai Jian here!"
The three-story楼船 (lou chuan) shattered the void and instantly vanished into the firmament. As the楼船 disappeared, an area of hundreds of thousands of miles around the Extreme Star Peak of the Boundless Star Palace was submerged by water, and a vast lake appeared in the heartland of the Boundless Star Palace.
The Boundless Star Palace!
One of the three overlords of the Tianbao Realm, a force with over a dozen Xuanxian and dozens of Zhenxian beings. In mere breaths, its foundations were wiped out. All the beings there believed a natural disaster had struck, and no one knew how many lives were lost in the Boundless Star Palace.
Within the void, the楼船 traversed, and in a few breaths, it arrived above a city in the southern part of the Boundless Star Palace. As the楼船 emerged, its divine might was like a prison, suppressing all mountains and rivers within eight hundred miles. The firmament cracked like a spiderweb.
All living beings looked up at the three-story楼船. Such powerful pressure made no one dare not to be in awe!
"Are you Wan Ai Jian?"
The楼船 stopped in the void. Su Xiangming looked at Wan Ai Jian, who was breaking out in a cold sweat, and said softly.
"Gulp~~"
Wan Ai Jian's face turned pale. Just by the presence of the being before him, doing nothing, he felt the aura of death. This feeling was something even the Palace Master of the Boundless Star Palace could not achieve. Wan Ai Jian knew that Su Xiangming before him had definitely surpassed Xuanxian and might have stepped into the realm of the powerful Golden Immortal, possibly even higher.
"Yes... it is I, Wan Ai Jian!"
Wan Ai Jian clasped his hands in greeting.
"I am here on behalf of my master to escort you to the Seven Star Realm. Come with me!" Su Xiangming glanced at Wan Ai Jian, his arrogant demeanor suddenly disappearing. Instead, he clasped his hands towards Wan Ai Jian and spoke politely.
The Seven Star Realm?
His face was filled with deep dread. The Seven Star Realm was a place he had never heard of, nor did he know what his relationship was with Su Xiangming's master. Friend or foe?
He had ascended to the Immortal Realm and had always stayed in the Boundless Star Palace, never leaving the Tianbao Realm. When had he offended such a powerful being? He forced a stiff smile: "May I ask who Senior's master is?"
"My master has no relation to you, but the Sect Master of my Seven Star Pavilion does have a considerable connection with you!" Su Xiangming said with a slight smile, without any impatience.
"Sect Master of the Seven Star Pavilion?" Wan Ai Jian frowned. What kind of force was the Seven Star Pavilion? He had never heard of it.
"The Sect Master of my Seven Star Pavilion is named Ye Xuan. Do you understand? Come with me, you will gain the appreciation of our Sect Master, and your future will be limitless!" Su Xiangming extended his palm, making a gesture of invitation.
"Ye... Ye Xuan... Ye Xuan he..." Wan Ai Jian's mind went blank. The mysteriously vanished Ye Xuan had actually possessed such terrifying power.
"Let's go. The journey is long. We should set off as soon as possible and not delay," Su Xiangming said again, clasping his hands. His eyes were filled with envy. Who was Ye Xuan? He was the ruler of the Seven Star Realm, the founder of the Seven Star Pavilion, a powerful being who had stepped into the realm of Immortal Emperor. This Wan Ai Jian truly had an immense fortune to have forged a good karma with the Sect Master. Although Wan Ai Jian was still in the Zhenxian realm, in Su Xiangming's eyes, he was already a high-ranking member of the Seven Star Pavilion. This person's future was immeasurable.
"Senior, I have a request. I..." He stopped mid-sentence, his body stiffening. Ascending from the lower planes to the Immortal Realm was unprecedented. If even they harbored greed, the Great Han Immortal Dynasty would fall into darkness. He forced a stiff smile: "Let's go!"
He then glanced in the direction of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, boarded the three-story楼船, and vanished into the firmament.
Half an hour later, beings entered the void of Extreme Star Peak one after another. They looked at the once incredibly prosperous place, which now held only a vast lake. Nothing belonging to the Boundless Star Palace remained. Some beings were unwilling. In their pursuit of the inheritance of the Boundless Star Palace, they ventured three thousand fathoms deep into the lake, but found nothing.
Several hours later, countless beings rushed to all corners of the Tianbao Realm, carrying the news of the Boundless Star Palace's destruction, which spread throughout the Tianbao Realm.
"What? What did you say? The Boundless Star Palace was annihilated by a powerful force?" Guan Qiu, in Dragon Pool City of the Nine Dragon Sect, said in shock to Xuan Yao, the Grand Elder of the Inner Sect, "Are you sure it was annihilated by a powerful force, and not a natural disaster?"
"Law King, if I cannot even discern this, what qualification do I have to be the Grand Elder of the Inner Sect of the Nine Dragon Sect? At first, I also couldn't believe it. With over a dozen Xuanxian guarding the Boundless Star Palace, how could it be annihilated in mere breaths? To do so without anyone noticing in just a few breaths, it could only be a natural disaster."
"I traveled slowly, circling the vast lake, and then some beings said they saw a three-story楼船, incredibly terrifying, capable of shattering the firmament just by traversing the void. Law King, in my opinion, that must be a powerful immortal treasure. The beings of the Boundless Star Palace must have offended some powerful force when they were adventuring outside, leading to this outcome." Xuan Yao said with some anger.
"Forget it, let's not get involved. A force capable of overthrowing the Boundless Star Palace in a few breaths can also overthrow our Nine Dragon Sect. The Sect Master has gone to Dragon Burial Island to seek the path of Golden Immortal. We must strictly abide by the Sect Master's decree to maintain the safety of the beings in our territory and avoid causing trouble. Grand Elder, send someone to the vicinity of Dragon Burial Island. If you find any trace of the Sect Master, report it to me immediately!" Guan Qiu thought for a moment, remembering Long Qianning's words, and decided to stick to his original intention.
"Yes, Law King!" Xuan Yao bowed slightly.
"Sect Master, Guan Qiu remembers our declaration that day. I will await your return in Dragon Pool City!" Guan Qiu looked up at the divine sun in the firmament, his eyes filled with anticipation and affection.
...
"The Boundless Star Palace has actually been destroyed?" Chang Bai, in the Tianbao Sect, said in shock.
"Sect Master, the Boundless Star Palace has miraculously disappeared. The remaining unimportant disciples have fled. The Great Han Immortal Dynasty has advanced from three routes and, without bloodshed, has occupied the southern territories of the Boundless Star Palace. The three armies are in high spirits and are advancing towards the heartland of the Boundless Star Palace. Your subordinate guesses that it will not be long before the Great Han Immortal Dynasty occupies all the territories of the Boundless Star Palace!" A spy from the Tianbao Sect, who was embedded in the Boundless Star Palace, reported.
"What about the Nine Dragon Sect? What is their attitude, just watching the Great Han Immortal Dynasty devour the territories of the Boundless Star Palace like this?" Chang Bai became angry.
"Replying to the Sect Master, the Nine Dragon Sect suddenly issued an order a few days ago not to participate in the struggle for power and authority in the Tianbao Realm. For this reason, Guan Qiu, the Law King who protects the sect, has killed many high-ranking officials of the Nine Dragon Sect!"
