Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 917: Chapter 9: The Target

The Starlight Palace belongs to the Rebirth Sect. Due to the numerous methods they utilize, even if alliances form, they are limited in scope. Taking action against them is an optimal choice, especially since you can truly enable rebirth; combat might be inevitable, but persuasion thereafter would be quite straightforward.”

“The forces from three large worlds merge together; are their Twelve Realm Saint Emperors also congregating?”

“Indeed.” Feng nodded, “The ideologies of these three are quite similar, they study identical reincarnation methods, mostly assembling together, and every millennium the Starlight Palace hosts a unique festival, where the three Twelve Realm Saint Emperors descend and gather, leading the event. If my memory serves me right, the next event is in a few years.”

Upon hearing Feng’s words, Wang Sheng nodded. Evidently, the Starlight Palace was a suitable target for action.

Though it is a union of several forces, the strongest individuals just happen to gather together.

This is an opportunity.

“In that case, prepare to make your move against them first. The inclusion of the three Twelve Realm Saint Emperors will significantly bolster our strength.”

“I comply with your command, Master.” Feng and Jin, having boarded the pirate ship, naturally had no objections.

The cross-dimensional war, dormant for millions of years in the Old Lands, was about to surface once more.

Wang Sheng lifted the blockade on the Forbidden Palace.

Afterward, the three deliberated over numerous detailed plans before Wang Sheng prepared to depart.

“You begin your preparations, I will be taking action on my end as well. I will inform you when the time comes.”

“Understood.”

Just as he was about to leave, Wang Sheng suddenly remembered something and said, “Such matters require the strength of the entire world. Feel free to inform some of your trusted subordinates. Oh, and when notifying them, you can tell Wu Dao that his brother is fine; I’ve resurrected him.”

“Master, you know Bloodless?” Jin suddenly interjected.

“I am aware; he was killed by those attempting to invade the Newborn Land, perishing there…” Wang Sheng briefly explained the situation, “Is Bloodless your descendant?”

The tactics of Bloodless were quite similar to Jin’s.

Previously, he hadn’t thought much of it; after all, the legacy of the sealed Big World was passed down by Feng and Jin.

Feng clarified: “He is Jin’s direct descendant, and highly valued. He suddenly perished back then, and despite our direct involvement, we couldn’t locate his lingering soul or the true culprit. Turns out it was that group who acted; no wonder we didn’t discover anything. Seems like quite a few unsolved cases in the Old Lands were their doing…”

His tone grew cold.

They cared little for the invasion plan of the Newborn Land.

Yet, they happened to provoke them.

They naturally couldn’t ignore it.

“Master, if the true culprit is found, please help us confront them.”

Involved in Wang Sheng’s plan, their exposure was inevitable sooner or later. Thus, certain grudges deserved to be avenged as this was the case.

They might be cautious, but they weren’t truly timid.

As the world emerges, let it be “celebrated” with the blood of Twelve Realms.

Wang Sheng hadn’t anticipated the great thirst for vengeance in the two men, yet he nodded: “Agreed, but you needn’t worry; Bloodless has been resurrected by me and is living within my sphere of influence without any issues. If your merits are substantial enough, it could lead to the resurrection of others.”

Upon hearing this, Jin immediately expressed gratitude: “Thank you, Master. If you require anything for resurrecting Bloodless, I shall certainly procure it for you.”

“It’s nothing; Bloodless helped me acquire preliminary insights into the Old Lands, which counts as payment.”

Feng, however, showed interest in another matter: “Master, regarding the merit for resurrection you mentioned…”

Wang Sheng did not elaborate further, merely leaving behind a list of merit exchanges as he directly departed.

Upon receiving the exchange list, Feng glanced at it immediately.

Seeing at the top the words “Merit Needed for Resurrecting Twelve Realms”, his heart trembled.

He seemed to have underestimated this master.

“Can Twelve Realms also be resurrected?”

…

After Wang Sheng left, he did not immediately take action against the Starlight Palace but rather went to a remote small world. This civilization emerged after the cross-dimensional war ended, went unnoticed, and was quite weak.

He took half a year to ensure this world chose subjugation to Source Star.

Having accomplished all this, he returned to his main body and contacted Yuan.

Yuan appeared swiftly.

[What happened? You rarely contact me.]

“It’s nothing. Could you sense if any world beyond this piece of the starry sky has submitted…”

This was Wang Sheng’s aim in subjugating the weak world.

He sought to test whether submission of a world from the Old Lands might allow the Source Star to accumulate heritage and complete an ascension.

Whether it could happen or not would dictate his subsequent direction.

Soon, Yuan gave a definitive answer.

[It seems there is a world, I can sense it, but cannot determine its location.]

Receiving affirmative feedback, Wang Sheng smiled and then, after some thought, opened a passage.

“Now? Can you determine its location?”

[Yes, but where is this place? It doesn’t seem to be within our original starry sky…the Old Lands?] Yuan was aware of the Old Lands’ existence yet hadn’t focused much due to busying himself with subjugating various planets.

However, sensing a distinctly different starry sky, he quickly reacted.

[Since when did you discover it?]

“Not too long ago, but that’s not important. What’s crucial is whether you can transform this star into an auxiliary star?”

The foundational rules of the Old Lands mirror those of the Newborn Land.

But cross-dimensional warfare is vastly different.

Within the Old Lands, subjugating new worlds or consuming them no longer fosters the main world’s heritage, though the world itself can still advance, thus giving rise to the Conquest Sect’s growing dominance.

As for what the Newborn Land would entail, Wang Sheng was uncertain, yet at the moment, it had no such restrictions.

He wished to know which side’s rules would hold higher priority.

Ultimately, the result was rather favorable.

[As long as you open this passage, it’s possible.]

“That’s good.”

Even though failing to subjugate wouldn’t matter, advantages were not something he wished to miss.

“Then prepare yourself; perhaps you’ll soon accept the worlds or planets within the Old Lands.”

[Rest assured, after so many advances, I’ve reduced the time needed to subjugate a world significantly, just like the one weak world I recently sensed; it can be completed shortly.]

Yuan exuded confidence.

Wang Sheng nodded, refraining from further commentary; confirming Yuan’s capability meant commencing subsequent plans was possible.

After Yuan departed, Wang Sheng’s consciousness returned to the Old Lands, entering the Main God Space.

“Issue some missions, let those within the Main God Space participate and gain some experience.”

Considering the situation with the Starlight Palace, participants from the Main God Space lacked the qualification to engage.

Yet, as the expansion plan was underway, given the potential of the Main God Space, this power could be utilized eventually. Wang Sheng even considered incorporating some strong individuals from Source Star.

Although they may not play a decisive role later, they could certainly offer substantial support.

Most importantly, after so much time, it was high time for these individuals to witness the true nature of the Main God Space.

Soon, numerous promising teams in the Main God Space received identical missions.

[Difficulty Level Task: The Starlight Palace is about to host the Starlight Festival, participate and rank in the festival, with higher placements earning greater rewards.]

The task description wasn’t elaborate, yet many teams sensed something unusual.

Ultimately, each team decided to participate.

They had a hunch that this time, they might glimpse some secrets of the Main God Space.

Despite its forces stationed by the Twelve Realms, Wang Sheng didn’t teleport them directly to the Starlight Palace.

Instead, he transported them nearby, allowing them to find the timing to enter.

Simultaneously, personnel from the sealed Big World gradually entered.

However, the Starlight Palace remained unaware.

For annually, several years preceding the Starlight Festival, many would enter to partake.

Time flowed, and it wasn’t long before the Starlight Festival began.

All candidates were in place…the grand show was about to start.

(End of month, seeking monthly votes!!)
