Chapter 784: Chapter 424: 7th Era: Turbulence Arises, Secret Realm Opens!_2

After all, Lu Yuan destroyed the Fang Family swiftly.

The Star Realm Army would need to deploy the forces of at least two battalions if they wanted to take him down.

But if they decided to leave him be,

wouldn’t the Star Realm Army become a laughingstock in the eyes of the world?

"Commander, according to the latest intelligence we’ve gathered, several high-tier insects went missing near the Wind Thunder Mountain Range, suspected to have fallen into Feng Yuan’s hands."

The middle-aged officer hesitated momentarily before speaking up.

"Kidnapping high-tier insects, what on earth is he planning!"

"Is he intending to seize this opportunity to collaborate with the Insect Race?"

Upon hearing this, the other high-ranking members of the Star Realm Army immediately erupted into chaos.

A Divinity Transformation Great Power could obliterate a star with a flick of a finger and influence the outcome of a battle.

Thus, every Divinity Transformation battle power holds a critically important strategic position.

If Lu Yuan were planning to cooperate with the Dark Insect Race, the consequences would be unimaginable!

After a long silence, Luo Lie slowly spoke.

"The priority is to first uncover the truth. Regardless of who the culprit is, the Star Realm Army will surely punish them without mercy."

"However, until the matter is fully clarified, no one is allowed to act without authorization!"

Everyone’s eyes brightened, immediately understanding the commander’s intent.

Since it was a dilemma, whatever course of action they took would have serious repercussions.

There was only one word left to consider.

Delay!

After all, there’s no evidence to prove that Lu Yuan was the culprit behind the destruction of the Fang Family.

As long as they delayed, this matter would eventually fade away.

And the downfall of the Fang Family was their own doing, blaming no one else!

...

Meanwhile,

when the Star Luo Sect learned of this news, they immediately ordered a thorough investigation.

In no time,

the entire Divine Wood Star was in turmoil, entering a state of martial law.

However, everyone was aware that,

the Star Luo Sect’s stance was just for show, making a fuss without substance.

If it were any other time, perhaps they would pursue it to the end to maintain order.

But now, as the situation continued to deteriorate, everyone was looking out for themselves.

No one would risk offending a powerful and mysterious strong individual for the sake of the Fang Family.

Days later,

everything returned to peace, as if nothing had ever happened.

Instead, Lu Yuan’s temporary base suddenly became a hub of activity, with numerous factions vying to visit him.

"You must be the young friend Feng Yuan? Truly a hero in your youth."

"This piece of Thousand-Year Blood Jade is taken from the depths of the earth veins, greatly beneficial for nurturing the body. We’d like you to have it, young friend, as we seem to have a fateful connection!"

"And this piece of Meteorite Cold Iron is D5-level metal, perfect for crafting Divinity Transformation Spiritual Treasures."

"From time immemorial, beauty accompanies heroism. My granddaughter, at the prime of her youth, is incredibly beautiful and unmarried. Would you be interested, young friend?"

Surrounded by a group of strong individuals, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but reflect.

This is the benefit of having great power.

Kill one, and you’re a criminal; kill thousands, and you’re a king.

If he had killed a Nascent Soul strong person, he would certainly face endless pursuit from all factions.

But annihilating the entire Fang Family, not only does no one dare to question him, but various factions treat him with utmost courtesy, making him an honored guest!

After some conversation,

Lu Yuan accepted all the treasures, and the other strong individuals left satisfied.

Because from the short interaction,

Lu Yuan didn’t seem to be the kind of demon cultivator or madman who delights in killing.

His extermination of the Fang Family was due to their prior aggression and seizure.

Thus, once everyone confirmed that Lu Yuan posed no immediate threat to them, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ancestor, that Feng Yuan hides so deeply, he must have ulterior motives."

"With the Star Luo Secret Realm about to open, should we revoke his qualification?"

The Sect Leader of the Star Luo Sect asked respectfully.

"No need. So what if he hides his strength?"

"The Star Luo Secret Realm is an ancient cave heaven with law suppression, even other Ancient Saints can only exert Nascent Soul battle power there."

"No matter what schemes he has, he won’t be able to stir up much trouble inside."

The Star Luo Ancestor stood with hands behind his back, speaking calmly.

For those with Divinity Transformation great power, they are aware of the rare opportunity of the True Immortal Celestial Tribulation once in a millennium, yet why do they not dare to venture into the Star Luo Secret Realm?

It’s precisely because the Star Luo Secret Realm stands alone, and if they rush in, they might gain nothing and instead be wiped out!

Time flies like an arrow, time passes swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

The long-anticipated opening of the Star Luo Secret Realm finally arrived!

The Divine Wood Star has been a great star of cultivation since ancient times, with an unbroken lineage, and a history of tens of millions of years.

The Star Luo Secret Realm was opened by an Ancient True Immortal with great mana in past ages as a grotto heaven blessed land.

Rich in resources and abundant in spiritual energy, it’s no exaggeration to call it the premier grotto heaven of the Divine Wood Star.

Even the Star Luo Ancestor originally obtained an unparalleled creation in the Star Luo Secret Realm.

Only then did he soar to prominence, becoming a genuine Returning Void Ancient Saint!

But from then on, the Star Luo Ancestor claimed the Star Luo Secret Realm for himself, establishing the sect and forbidding any other faction from setting foot there.

For a hundred thousand years, this is the first time it’s open to outsiders!

Hence,

when the news of the Star Luo Secret Realm’s opening spread, the entire Divine Wood Star became abuzz with excitement.

Countless cultivators from all around gathered, eager to witness the grand spectacle of the True Immortal crossing the tribulation.

Though the slots for the secret realm are limited and have long been distributed among major forces,

the momentum of the True Immortal crossing the tribulation is so great that even grotto heavens cannot isolate it entirely. If they could gain any insight from it, it would benefit them for a lifetime!

When Lu Yuan arrived at the Star Luo Sect with the team,

he saw a palace majestically standing on the ten thousand feet mountain peak, like a jewel atop a crown, emitting a brilliant radiance.

Surrounding the palace were thousands of stars encircling it.

These stars had long been refined, their sizes reduced to that of millstones, numbering in the tens of thousands.

The surface of these thousands of stars was covered with intricate patterns, seemingly forming a grand array, continuously supplying the Star Luo Sect with vast amounts of pure energy and spiritual energy.

"To use thousands of stars as the focal point of an array, the scale of Star Luo Sect is truly staggering."

Seeing this magnificent scene, many cultivators clicked their tongues in admiration, deeply impressed.

A Returning Void Ancient Saint could swallow a sun whole, and a single glance could destroy a life-bearing planet.

For such powerful beings, refining an entire galaxy is an effortless task.

This is why the Dark Insect Race came on fiercely, sparing no effort to summon the projection of the Insect Hive Will.

Otherwise, with the power of the Star Luo Ancestor, how could he be forced to such an extent?

"However powerful a Returning Void Ancient Saint may be, the True Immortal Celestial Tribulation is known as a nine-deaths-and-one-life ordeal, and countless Ancient Saint strong individuals have fallen in thunder tribulations."

"Star Luo Ancestor’s forced attempt at crossing the tribulation this time is likely doomed, with not even a ten percent chance of success."

Some cultivators sighed with reluctance, not feeling optimistic about it.

"Star Luo Ancestor knows the dangers of the Immortal Tribulation, yet insists on proceeding. Could he have other intentions?"

Lu Yuan pondered silently.

He simply couldn’t believe the tale that Star Luo Ancestor was risking himself for the world and all beings.

For the more powerful a cultivator, the more they value their lives and fear death.

They have trained diligently for a lifetime, enduring countless hardships and trials to achieve their current power, why would they gamble their lives away?

Moreover, as their cultivation grows, their way of thinking aligns more with the Heavenly Dao, and their emotions become increasingly cold and indifferent.

For a Returning Void Ancient Saint,

their actions are always grounded in self-interest, never swayed by emotions.

If sacrificing billions of lives could grant them the opportunity to become a True Immortal crossing the tribulation, the Star Luo Ancestor would likely do so without hesitation.

So, his forceful tribulation crossing this time clearly has other designs.

Just as myriad speculations filled Lu Yuan’s mind,

the stars hanging from the heavens suddenly erupted with an unprecedented brilliant light.

Immediately afterward,

a resplendent beam of light, reaching from earth to sky, shot up, piercing through layer upon layer of void, as if opening a passage to some grotto heaven blessed land!
