Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1045: Chapter 66: Rooting Out Hidden Dangers (Part 2)

Beside him, Feng, who came to report news, felt extremely shocked internally.

He knew the True Saint he followed was a top-tier Saint Emperor, immensely powerful, making it normal for any Saint Emperor to follow them.

But for a top-tier Saint Emperor, especially the extremely mysterious Star Beast Ancestor to follow, he had never expected.

Moreover, the attitude of the Star Beast Ancestor was even more respectful than his own.

Had the Star Beast Ancestor discovered something unknown to him?

Or could it be that the Lifeless True Saint was even more powerful than imagined and had already broken through…

Feng was lost in wild thoughts, and when he returned to his senses, he realized the True Saint had already left.

“No matter what, I am ultimately following the True Saint. Now it seems this decision might be the most correct one I’ve made…”

Afterward, Feng too decided to leave.

With the True Saint absent, he naturally had to attend to his own matters.

On the other side, Wang Sheng, upon learning of the change in resentful aura, originally intended to inspect the situation of the Soul Purifying Sea in various places.

But he unexpectedly received a message from Yuanhua.

The Star Beast Ancestor, who hadn’t left yet, also shared this sentiment.

“True Saint, why is the Shattered Star Saint Master convening this time?”

Wang Sheng thought for a moment before saying, “Most likely it’s about the resentful aura problem, but it might be related to your Star Beast Clan’s issues. After all, your Star Beast Clan has vanished for over ten years, their curiosity would be understandable.”

“If it really is the case, what should we do?”

“Just proceed as usual; they won’t force us, nor do they have the right to force us. It’s a small matter; let’s go, time for the meeting!”

After saying this, Wang Sheng directly entered the Virtual World.

The Star Beast Ancestor, thinking about Wang Sheng’s strength, then considering the recognized Underworld by the Starry Sky Rules,

instantly felt at ease.

“That’s true, if the True Saint doesn’t want to reveal, no one can force…”

Soon after, four top-tier Saint Emperors gathered in the Virtual World.

“Daoist Yuanhua, what is the reason for calling us here?” Luckily, Wang Sheng did not waste words and got straight to the point.

“Naturally, it is due to the resentful aura issue. I am sure both of you are aware by now; the resentful aura has changed, and this time we are specially seeking Daoist Xing Hou to inquire whether the rules have changed.”

After speaking, Yuanhua looked towards the Star Beast Ancestor.

“The Starry Sky Rules have indeed changed, judging from various situations, it is truly the resentful aura rules that have changed. Going forward, there’s no need to worry excessively about the resentful aura issue.” Being questioned, the Star Beast Ancestor naturally wouldn’t hold back, especially since he was planning to find an opportunity to disclose already.

“Then we are relieved.” Yuanhua nodded and then quickly shifted the topic, “Apart from this, there’s a small issue, Daoist Xing Hou, regarding the departure of Saint Emperor-level Star Beasts from the Devouring Sect mission, was it your instruction?”

After asking, Yuanhua’s gaze changed.

Evidently, this was a very important question.

Or one could say this was the focus of this meeting.

Long Yue also looked towards the Star Beast Ancestor.

The sudden disappearance of the Star Beast Clan was indeed adding lots of pressure on them.

The most crucial point being that, based on investigations, the large-scale disappearance of the Star Beast Clan coincided precisely with Wang Sheng’s own disappearance.

This made them even more anxious.

They knew clearly that with Wang Sheng’s strength, if he allied with the Star Beast Clan, the Old Land Starry Sky likely wouldn’t have space for their survival.

Therefore, some matters must be clarified.

Yuanhua, having lost hope for the Newborn Land, was even more resolute about not losing the basic foundation of the Old Land.

Feixian Star may seem unconcerned, but it actually takes each world quite seriously.

Involving fundamental interests, without investigating some information, they couldn’t be truly at ease.

Both Wang Sheng and the Star Beast Ancestor naturally discerned their implication.

And just as had been discussed beforehand, this matter was, after all, insignificant for both Wang Sheng and the Star Beast Ancestor.

Thus Wang Sheng straightforwardly said: “Daoist Yuanhua, rest assured, the task of the Saint Emperor-level Star Beast Clan, I shall oversee, no need to worry about any issues, besides—”

He gave Yuanhua and Long Yue a deep look before continuing, “You also need not worry about us joining forces to infringe upon your interests. Currently, I’m not inclined to this, but if I ever were to pursue it, it would certainly be with absolute strength. At that time, even if you wanted to resist, you couldn’t.”

Right now, all his attention was on the Underworld; he didn’t wish for the underworld matters to be disturbed.

Saying things clearly could avoid a lot of trouble.

However, these words were absolutely not pleasant to hear.

Yuanhua and Long Yue’s expressions were ambiguous but ultimately left unsaid.

Never mind later, even now, do they have any margin to resist?

Especially given the current circumstances, the Star Beast Ancestor was evidently siding with the Lifeless.

And with the Lifeless’s peculiar attributes, if conflict arose, most likely, they would lose.

Being able to explain things, regardless of an unpleasant discussion, is certainly better than remaining unclear.

Yuanhua quietly stated: “If one day that circumstance arises, I hope Daoist Lifeless would show mercy…”

If it were earlier, he surely wouldn’t have compromised.

But he knew very clearly that this Lifeless True Saint before him possessed a piece of “treasure land,”

as long as one wasn’t foolish, they could surely leverage this treasure land to advance.

Being no match now, scenarios of advancement would only worsen it.

Accepting the situation isn’t bad.

Long Yue, on the other hand, smiled with a somewhat crisp and melodic voice: “Daoist Lifeless, in the future, we would need much of your care!”

Hearing Long Yue’s words, Yuanhua also came to realize.

It seemed Long Yue and Lifeless shared good relations and had collaborated.

Now the Star Beast Ancestor was aligned with Lifeless True Saint too.

Thinking closely, theoretically, wasn’t he the only one solitary?

Even more so because the original plan of the Shattered Star Sacred Land placed him at odds with Lifeless True Saint from the Newborn Land.

’Ah…’

Yuanhua sighed deeply in his heart.

Confronted with such circumstances, he too had no good solutions.

Of course, outwardly he displayed nothing.

Regardless of the situation, maintaining a smile was necessary, even if it was a bitter smile.

Wang Sheng didn’t fully grasp Yuanhua’s intentions but could somewhat guess from his expressions.

He didn’t mind.

As long as there was no interference with his plans for the Underworld in the present world.

In the end, each left the Virtual World harboring their respective thoughts.

“True Saint…” The Star Beast Ancestor was still somewhat worried.

Before when holding the position, he wouldn’t have worried as much.

But now serving as Ksitigarbha, he felt a bit concerned.

“Don’t worry, return and handle your affairs accordingly.”

With Wang Sheng saying so, naturally, the Star Beast Ancestor wouldn’t dare inquire further, responded and returned to the Underworld.

“After these years, the situation of the Soul Purifying Sea should be quite good.”

He conducted a simple investigation and found that various points of the Soul Purifying Sea had accumulated quite a few souls.

But it wasn’t over, as he then proceeded to survey various worlds.

“Indeed, even with the presence of the Soul Purifying Sea and Secret Technique, not all souls can enter the Soul Purifying Sea. Some inevitably remain due to various accidents in the real world…”

Both the Soul Purifying Sea and Secret Technique could guide spirits to rest in the shadows.

Yet in such a vast starry sky, unique situations inevitably occur, causing some spirits neither to be collected by the Soul Purifying Sea nor sent off by the Secret Technique, thereby continuously lingering among the living.

Such incidents happen in all worlds, not frequently, but across the entire starry sky, the count is strikingly alarming.

If left unchecked, the prolonged blending of the living and shades is not good.

Especially with rules continuously adjusting within the starry domain.

Ghost Messengers were to address these circumstances.

“For Ghost Messengers to work smoothly, the essence is information; insufficient information makes it impossible for the Underworld to recognize events, let alone address them… Instantly gathering all world information is exceedingly challenging, with a potential to cause vigilance. As with the Underworld, it’s best to experiment first on a few worlds within your control…”

The initial setup of the Soul Purifying Sea was already quite sensitive.

If information gathering was discovered, it would be even more troublesome.

Deploying within self-governed worlds seems to be the optimal choice.

“Upon further reflection, refining the Underworld’s greatest issue isn’t merely the reincarnation problem but primarily concerns information…”
