Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1082: Chapter 432: Do You Think Dachen Has No One?

Inside the Sumeru Palace, the Sumeru Palace Master, Luo Xian, looked somewhat anxious.

A day ago, he received a series of bad news, one after another, each more distressing than the last!

First was the death of his disciple, Qiao Shen, whose Primordial Spirit was likely captured.

Slain by an obscure disciple from the Great Chen National Daoist School named Heavenly Saint Qi.

Secondly, another of his disciples, Liu Ju, was also eliminated at the fifth level of the Seven Killings Secret Realm.

One might say these two pieces of bad news were still bearable for him.

After all, disciples are not children and are, to a large extent, expendable; if they die, just train more.

As for the Seven Killings inheritance, failing to obtain it doesn’t have a huge impact.

However, combined, these two pieces of bad news formed an intolerable calamity for him.

No disciple from his Sumeru Palace managed to enter the sixth level of the Seven Killings Secret Realm, meaning the Divine Dao True Intent bestowed upon him by the ancestor through the Seven Killings Secret Realm was out of reach!

This was extremely critical.

This was the key to his swift breakthrough to the Ninth Tier.

The Sumeru Palace Master was truly desperate.

There was no more room for maneuver within the Seven Killings Secret Realm.

The only remedy the Sumeru Palace Master could think of involved just one word: seize!

Seize the Divine Dao True Intent brought out by others from the Seven Killings Secret Realm, seize it for himself.

Regardless of whether it was Space System Divine Dao True Intent, seize one first, either by bargaining or exchanging, there would still be a chance.

But the problem is, how to seize it.

The known star gates of the Seven Killings Secret Realm numbered seven.

How many could he guard by himself?

Though difficult, concerning the Divine Dao True Intent, the Sumeru Palace Master was determined not to give up lightly.

In the shortest time possible, the Sumeru Palace Master made arrangements.

Aside from leaving an Eighth Tier to oversee the Sumeru Palace, all the remaining Seventh and Eighth Tier experts who could be dispatched were assigned to guard these seven star gates.

To guard them.

Then observe the elites coming out.

Act at the opportune moment.

Basically, at each star gate, he could assign three to four experts, but most were of the Seventh Tier.

Of course, if any sign of Divine Dao True Intent was detected, he would act immediately, especially at the Seven Killings Secret Realm star gate within this world.

And just half an hour ago, Hou Ziang, a Seventh Tier elite disciple of the Wood Spirit Palace, suddenly appeared outside a star gate at the Dachu Empire border, returning from the Seven Killings Secret Realm.

By timing, it seemed Hou Ziang had reached the sixth level of the Seven Killings Secret Realm.

It was possible he obtained the Divine Dao True Intent.

His three disciples were already in place and had pursued him.

At this moment, he was anxiously awaiting the outcome.

Suddenly, the Sumeru Palace Master Luo received a Starlight Transmission message, and upon reading it, his brow immediately furrowed.

[Master, just as we were about to surround and kill Hou Ziang, reinforcements from the Wood Spirit Palace arrived and rescued him. However, as Hou Ziang left, he claimed he did not obtain the Divine Dao True Intent, but it seems the Great Chen National Daoist School has obtained one, related to their disciple Heavenly Saint Qi.]

Reading the message, the Sumeru Palace Master had his brows tightly knitted.

Heavenly Saint Qi.

Again, it’s Heavenly Saint Qi.

Where exactly did this Heavenly Saint Qi come from?

How come there’s his shadow everywhere!

Fifth Tier, Third Layer?

He first directly killed his Seventh Tier disciple Qiao Shen, and then seized the Divine Dao True Intent.

So powerful?

In the next instant, the Sumeru Palace Master, using a special contact method, issued an order to the three disciples guarding the Seven Killings star gate within the Great Chen Realm from this moment.

One Eighth Tier, two Seventh Tiers, that’s enough!

But should he make a move personally?

Pondering for a long time, the Sumeru Palace Master, Luo Xian, remained stationed at the Sumeru Palace, without heading to guard the Seven Killings Secret Realm star gate within the Great Chen Realm.

The reason was simple.

Is what Hou Ziang said necessarily true?

The relationship between the Sumeru Palace and the Wood Spirit Palace was decent, but only in relatively non-conflict situations.

For instance, him ordering Sumeru Palace’s disciples to attack Hou Ziang from the Wood Spirit Palace created a conflict of interest.

Thus, Hou Ziang’s words could be believed but should not be taken at face value.

It is possible that the Wood Spirit Palace, in this matter, intentionally misled him.

Especially under conflict conditions.

Now, he just needed to station himself at the Sumeru Palace and then await definitive news, ready to move as soon as exact information arrived!

Spatiotemporal distance?

For other parties, it’s a significant issue.

But for him, it’s not a problem.

He is, after all, the Sumeru Palace Master and a top expert in utilizing Space Star Techniques.

At the same moment, the Wood Spirit Palace Master, having received definitive news, was rushing towards the Seven Killings Secret Realm star gate deep within the Great Green Mountain located in the Great Chen region.

His speed was extremely fast, but for him, there were many limitations.

Firstly, he couldn’t use the Star-picking Tower to directly teleport there!

It’s not that he couldn’t, but using it would cause both the Great Chen side, as well as Dahong and Dachu, to immediately notice his movement as a top-tier Eighth Tier bursting forward.

In this world, there are very few matters prompting such Eighth Tier top experts to charge around!

In an instant, it would draw the attention of all major figures.

Thus, he could only fly physically, while keeping his presence hidden.

This was an unavoidable plight.

This also illustrated why the Wood Spirit Palace was eager to expand.

If they could acquire some territory in this world, and then establish their own Star-picking Tower.

At that time, it’d be easy to teleport directly, both convenient and strategically intimidating.

Unfortunately, till now, the Wood Spirit Palace had made no progress on this front in the worldly domain.
