Chapter 314 - 314 Saintly Star

314 Saintly Star
As soon as the information about the Wanggu Continent was released, all the disciples in the Seven Blood Eyes were shocked. This feeling of lifting the veil made everyone feel as though their worldview had expanded.
Xu Qing was the same. However, he thought more about it. The significance of the Seven Blood Eyes announcing this information at this moment was profound. It gave Xu Qing the feeling that they wanted their disciples to be prepared in advance.
Xu Qing believed that he wasn’t the only one who had such a feeling.
That was indeed the case. After this news was made public, the Seven Blood Eyes disciples who had struggled out of the Gu-nurturing environment could feel many things in this information.
This was even more so because the news announced by the sect briefly mentioned the other five forces as well, while the main focus was on the Seven Sects Alliance, one of the six major forces in the Yinghuang Province.
The Seven Sects Alliance was a single entity formed by 137 sects of various sizes. It was led by the seven strongest sects.
Hence, it was called the Seven Sects Alliance.
The reason why these seven sects could be the leaders was not only because they had extremely powerful upper echelons, strong middle echelons, and a large number of bottom echelons, but also because of an extremely important reason.
They were the only seven sects among the 137 sects that possessed taboo magic treasures.
Magic treasures were not common even in the Wanggu Continent. Every one of them possessed earth-shattering might and unfathomable power. However, one had to be very cautious when using them because every time they used the magic treasures’ main bodies, the magic treasures would be polluted. If they were used frequently, magic treasures would become useless.
Therefore, not only did the possessor of the magic treasure have to control the number of times they used it, but they also had to nourish it at all times and remove the anomalous substances on it.
As for taboo… it was a term used when the level of magic treasures reached a certain level. Such magic treasures were much rarer. Moreover, any magic treasure that had reached the level of taboo possessed the power to destroy a sect.
Only the forces with such a magic treasure with the power to destroy a sect could form the final deterrence against the other sects in the Yinghuang Province and obtain the qualifications to wield power.
The rise of the seven sects came from not only their high-end combat strength but also the taboo magic treasures. This was also the reason why the Seven Sects Alliance became one of the six leading forces in the Yinghuang Province.
The Seven Sects Alliance, which possessed seven taboo magic treasures, had the qualifications to cause great damage to the Litu Dao Altar, the Grand Affairs Immortal Sec, and the other forces.
This qualification was status.
As for the seven strongest sects in the Seven Sects Alliance, they were… the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, the Spirit Dawn Valley, the Bizarre Hunting Sect, the Great Expansion Dao Palace, the Fate Pavilion, the Heavenly Treasure Sect, and the Mystic Nether Sect!
In the following period of time, this information became a new topic of discussion that surpassed the heated discussion between the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples about the three female cultivators from the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect.
In fact, Zhang San had even discussed it with Xu Qing through voice transmission. However, Xu Qing wasn’t very interested in it. His attention was all on the wish boxes.
The wish box that was already half-nourished came from the young master of the merfolk race. As for the one he had obtained from Horse-Four, it had never been nourished at all.
As such, there was still a long time before the latter could be opened. However, the former was already 98% to 99% nourished. Xu Qing felt that he would be able to open it in three to five days at most.
“I wonder what will be in this wish box…” Xu Qing was filled with anticipation, especially when he thought of the one Wu Jianwu had opened back then. It seemed very mysterious.
“What did he get?” Xu Qing was a little curious but he thought that it was impossible for that fool to tell him.
Just like that, time flowed by. Every day, outsiders would arrive. On the fifth day, when Xu Qing’s wish box was about to open, seven large ships arrived outside the Seven Blood Eyes.
These seven large ships were extremely luxurious. They were thousands of feet long and had an imposing aura. In fact, upon closer inspection, one could tell that they were all formed from divine sea beasts that had been refined alive.
Each of them had a different appearance. There was a divine mosasaur, terrifying jellyfish, sinister giant turtle… There was even a three-clawed black-scaled dragon.
Their appearance stirred up a storm that swept through the ports of the Seven Blood Eyes, causing countless boats to sway and the sea to churn, as though it was about to form a tsunami.
They were majestic and horrifying. Amidst the rumbling, they broke through the sea and arrived.
They even ignored the Seven Blood Eyes’ protective array and rushed into the port. What was especially shocking was that the Seven Blood Eyes’ array actually lost its effect on them.
It was as though in the judgment of the Seven Blood Eyes’ array formation, the cultivators who arrived had higher authority.
On this day, for the first time in all these years, the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples saw someone rushing in without informing the sect. The sect also maintained a rare silence.
The seven large ships entered seven ports. The people who alighted from six of the seven ships were all emitting boundless light, as though they could replace the brilliance of the sky.
These were the ships of the Seven Sects Alliance. The people who alighted from them were the envoys of the seven sects who had come to visit the Seven Blood Eyes. They were also the various heaven’s chosen of this generation of the seven sects.
There were men and women among them, and none of them were old. Their clothes were luxurious and extraordinary, and their auras were peerless. All of them were emitting dazzling light and their auras emitted incomparable might.
Shockingly, they all had four life fires!
All of them had 120 opened magic apertures in their bodies that were like shining stars, causing everyone who saw them to feel their hearts tremble. It was inevitable for the observers to feel inferior.
They were like true divine children who had descended to the mortal world.
The six people who walked down from the six large ships were already outstanding geniuses. However, after they walked out, they all looked at the huge three-clawed black-scaled dragon.
The three-clawed black-scaled dragon roared at the sky. As its voice rumbled in all directions like thunder, its head gently landed and touched the ground of the harbor, opening a gap between its brows.
A youth wearing a golden imperial robe with a golden silk sash around the waist and a jade-gilded crown on his head with his black hair tied up in it walked out of the crack step by step with endless splendor.
This figure’s slender body was straight and his calm face revealed innate nobility. When he walked out, the six heaven’s chosen who were like divine children lowered their heads to him.
It was as though he was beyond their grasp.
As he walked over, rainbow light transformed into a canopy above his head and the sound of wind whistling rang in his surroundings. This canopy was actually a Rainbow Wind Song Lantern!
This lantern was extremely resplendent with its rainbow light and emitted monstrous might that shook the surroundings. It caused shocking waves in the hearts of countless spectators.
“Life lantern!”
Someone exclaimed. At the next instant, more people exclaimed and the sound continued to spread, becoming increasingly intense.
That Rainbow Wind Song Lantern was none other than… the legendary life lantern!
As for this youth with the life lantern, he had opened 120 magic apertures. There was also the shadow of a strange bird with a green body and red tail behind him, emitting a sense of suppression.
It was the phantom of an emperor-level cultivation art!
All of this gathered into an earth-shattering aura. Coupled with the power of the life lantern, it actually showed signs of suppressing all the heaven’s chosen.
This person was none other than the number one heaven’s chosen of this generation of the Seven Sects Alliance, Chu Shengyun from the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect.
Although he wasn’t in the Golden Core realm, he could win against a Golden Core. Hence, his grandfather, the ancestor of the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect, bestowed him the Dao title of Saintly Star!
He was the first of the Sequences of Soaring Cloud Sword Sect and great expectations had been placed on him to walk the path of ancient sovereigns and rulers1.
He had an extremely high status in the Seven Sects Alliance as well. He was a peerless genius nurtured by the Seven Sects Alliance to match the Dao Children of the other five forces.
He was also the only cultivator among the countless disciples of the Seven Sects Alliance who possessed a life lantern and an emperor-level cultivation art at the same time.
Not only did this person have an extraordinary aura, but his appearance was also extraordinary. His fair and sculpted face revealed sharpness and looked like everyone was below him. His appearance could actually compare to Xu Qing.
However, he looked at others with indifference, like they were all ants.
This was different from Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was as calm as an old lake. When he looked at people, he only looked at their necks.
The tsunami and the pressure the ships formed swept through the ports, causing waves on the surface of Port 176 where Xu Qing was. This caused Xu Qing, who was nurturing the wish box, to frown slightly.
He sensed the pressure outside and stood up. He walked out of the cabin and looked in the direction of the First Port in the distance. With his cultivation, he could clearly see those heaven’s chosen who had arrived. He also saw this great heaven’s chosen whose entire body was shining with light. He also saw the Rainbow Wind Song Lantern above his head and the strange bird with a green body and red tail.
The moment he saw the Rainbow Wind Song Lantern, Xu Qing’s mind shook violently and a deep glint appeared in his eyes.
When he saw the strange bird with a green body and red tail, the Golden Crow totemic tattoo on his back emitted a burning intent, as though it wanted to manifest and suppress the strange bird.
To be able to cause the Golden Crow to have such a reaction, Xu Qing immediately understood that the phantom of the strange bird should also be an emperor-level cultivation art.
This was the first time Xu Qing had seen someone with a life lantern and an emperor-level cultivation art like him.
Xu Qing cast a deep glance before retracting his gaze and entering the cabin.
Xu Qing didn’t care who the other party was or how all the attention seemed to be on him. He would only remember the latter if the latter showed killing intent toward him.
Everything happening in the outside world was less important than the wish box!
Xu Qing sat down and lowered his head to look at the metal chunk in front of him. His breathing became slightly hurried and intense anticipation appeared in his eyes.
Unlike those strange actions Wu Jianwu performed before opening the wish box back then, Xu Qing didn’t do anything. He only took a deep breath and closed his eyes to calm his emotions. The instant he opened his eyes, his right hand waved slightly on the metal chunk.
Crack!
This wish box that came from the previous era and was left for future generations opened in front of Xu Qing!
Xu Qing looked at it. At the next instant, his eyes revealed an intense light and his breathing became slightly hurried.
There were two items in the wish box.
One was a black-colored medicinal pill.
The other was a jade slip that had slightly blackened!
