Chapter 968: Chapter 31: Chaos (Part 2)
As soon as these words were spoken, those participating in the discussion fell silent.
They all knew the current predicament of Xuan Guang Star, which was being used by Xuan Guang Saint Emperor as stored blood food.
If it weren’t for the deterrence of Life Saint Emperor, it would probably be devoured directly.
“Well, you can go to those Saint Emperors without longevity concerns…”
“It’s not feasible either; this method is not only useful for Saint Emperors nearing the end of their lifespan. It most likely benefits all Saint Emperors, who probably wouldn’t mind extending their lifespan.”
The Saint Emperors recklessly devour living beings to extend their lifespan, causing great distrust among any cultivators below the Twelfth Realm towards the Saint Emperors.
“Alas… Why would the Saint Emperors care about our thoughts? I’ve decided to head to a weak star domain with few living beings; such star domains are less likely to attract the Saint Emperors’ attention.”
The star systems currently being devoured, though not among the most prosperous, are also plentiful in life.
Yet, some star systems with fewer life forms are safer.
And there are not few beings with such thoughts.
What the final outcome will be, no one knows.
Relocation and concealment by cultivators are still minor issues.
The destruction of five star systems triggered the long-repressed volcanoes to erupt instantly.
Powerful worlds or planets, knowing more, began to stir first.
Some cultivators grew reckless and acted without concern.
While many more imitated them.
Those nearing the end of their lifespan are not limited to the Twelfth Realm Saint Emperors!
Saint Emperors have a large impact and great destructive power.
But the largest number is still those cultivators of lower realms.
“Devouring Life Essence Qi can apparently extend one’s lifespan; why did I not know… Looks like I haven’t devoured enough. If I devour more, perhaps I will!” murmured a Ten Realms Great Venerable exuding terrifying Blood Qi, and then he directly headed to a major city. In an instant, millions of lives turned to blood mist.
Once the devouring was complete, his aura remained unchanged; millions of lives were useless to him, yet he was not satisfied: “Still not enough… Keep going!”
Thus, he continued to another city.
“Haha, I was resigned to fate, but it seems heaven hasn’t forsaken me. I can live another five hundred years; surely I will become a saint!” said a Great Venerable filled with a decaying aura as he emerged from seclusion, starting to search for his target.
“I don’t know what the method is, but I must find a way to acquire it. If the mastermind wants to muddy the waters, then let them offer more in return!”
As time passed, the Old Land grew increasingly chaotic, and many cultivators could guess that the method of extending lifespan by devouring Life Essence Qi was simply to muddy the waters.
However, many cultivators didn’t care.
Nearing his end, he only resented the mastermind for not revealing the method widely.
And for such a major matter, Wang Sheng could not ignore it. Separating a piece of consciousness in his avatar, he then found Fei Xian Star Lord, Long Yue.
It was Long Yue’s invitation at this time; the changes in the Old Land’s situation had considerably affected Feixian Star.
They too needed stability in the situation; once it was chaotic, the World Origin’s gift would be used to birth a Child of Destiny, completely different from when the situation is calm, leaving them without opportunities.
This was also part of the Starry Sky Rules.
This was not good news for Feixian Star, which had long been committed to collecting the World Origin’s gift.
And on Wang Sheng’s side too.
He had always considered Space Secret Treasures and the World Origin’s gift together as cultivation resources.
With the chaos, those willing to deal treasures became fewer.
Especially spatial treasures.
Meanwhile, Main God Space was also affected; many teams encountered cultivators devouring Life Essence Qi when executing tasks, leading to convenient killings.
However, teams capable of operating in worlds with Seventh Realm cultivators usually had revival opportunities, so losses were not significant.
But if this continued, the impact would grow larger.
Soon, the two met.
Long Yue didn’t waste words: “Daoist Wu Sheng, I won’t say much; you should know now the situation affects our ability to obtain the World Origin’s gift, both of us need stable circumstances.”
Wang Sheng nodded, not denying, directly asking for opinions: “What does Daoist wish to do?”
“Suppress the Saint Emperors, stabilize the situation,” Long Yue said coolly. If truly desired, suppressing Saint Emperors was no difficult task for Feixian Star.
“It probably isn’t that simple; at the moment of life and death, they become fearless.”
“Then let’s kill a few Saint Emperors, to serve as a warning.” Long Yue was decisive, clearly having contemplated this plan already, “What’s your opinion?”
“Daoist Long Yue’s opinion is very good.” This was also Wang Sheng’s thought.
He needed stability even more than Long Yue.
Only a stable situation.
Of course, the Newborn Land was still stable; he could disregard it.
But since he was already in the Old Land, there was no reason to abandon it.
Old Land Starry Sky was also a significant resource to him, whether in temporal treasures or the quantity of life.
“Daoist is wise.” Long Yue was pleased to hear Wang Sheng agree.
She knew Wang Sheng belonged to the Newborn Land, and could completely ignore it.
Though he could suppress on his own, having an additional force made it more secure, as they still didn’t know who the mastermind was.
“We share common interests, but Daoist Long Yue should also know that even if we suppress and kill those Saint Emperors who devour life to extend lifespan, it’s only the beginning; the method of lifespan extension is the main point, and the person behind is likely not simple. Does Daoist Long Yue have any suspects?” Wang Sheng inquired.
“Most likely it comes from the Devouring Sect.” Long Yue touched her head and didn’t elaborate, as she was merely suspicious without evidence.
After all, not everyone in the Conquest Sect was righteous either.
There were quite a few cultivators who practiced Blood Qi through vicious means.
“No matter what, precautions are necessary; we need to resolve the current situation first. Besides Saint Emperors, there are other cultivators to suppress.” Wang Sheng knew that without any clues, finding the mastermind would be extremely challenging.
Unless a huge amount of effort was exerted.
Long Yue supported Wang Sheng’s idea: “Let’s stabilize the situation first, discuss other cultivators afterward, and just hope that method doesn’t spread.”
“The starry sky is too vast for us to control entirely.”
Both sensed that the method was likely to spread.
Quickly, the two stopped discussing the matter; once the Saint Emperors were resolved, other cultivators wouldn’t cause too much trouble.
“Let’s start with Xuan Guang Saint Emperor. Though there isn’t sufficient evidence for subsequent actions, Xuan Guang Saint Emperor cannot escape!” Long Yue decisively singled out a Saint Emperor’s fate.
Wang Sheng indifferently nodded.
It was all the same to him whose hand they acted against; moreover, even without Long Yue, he would target Xuan Guang Saint Emperor.
“If that’s the case, then so be it; I’ll handle it.” He originally valued the Life Saint Emperor, particularly through years of observation, discovering that the Life Saint Emperor had insights into the Life Dao, making him more significant, perfectly seizing this opportunity to subdue Life Saint Emperor.
“You wish to act, Daoist Long Yue would naturally not compete; if so, I’ll investigate the culprits concerning the Orion Star Domain and similar domains!”
With Wang Sheng’s actions, Long Yue wouldn’t be idle.
The collaboration had no dissent from either side.
Once decided, there was no more to say; detailed discussion awaited the suppression of Saint Emperors.
Wang Sheng left the negotiation site, returning to the Main God Space drop point.
Before long, Feng, Jin, Fei Luan, Star Fox, and Jiu Cai appeared before him.
“True Saint, do you have any instructions?”
“Prepare to seal Xuan Guang Star, act against Xuan Guang Saint Emperor.” Wang Sheng directly stated his intention.
The five individuals of Fei Luan were mentally shocked.
They knew the True Saint was powerful, and now they would finally act against the Saint Emperor?
Moreover, with such confidence in killing a Saint Emperor, they had no fear of failure.
Their hearts first felt a wave of confusion, then some excitement.
The chance to kill a Saint Emperor, could they participate?
Xuan Guang Saint Emperor, they had long wanted to strike!
Thus, they immediately responded: “Yes, True Saint!”
Xuan Guang Saint Emperor didn’t realize that while targeting others, he himself was also a target…
