The Lord of Yuanzhong who Devours the Starry Sky

"The news of my return will only be shared with the awake Divine King disciples of the sect." Li Qi said, "I haven't recovered much strength yet, so the fewer people who know about my return... the better."

"Of course." The Starlight Elder nodded.

The return of the prince was top secret. Before this, apart from her and the elders, only her disciple Yanli Hou knew about it.

Under normal circumstances, with the strength and status of Yanli Hou, who is equivalent to that of the first level of the Divine King, he should not know the news of the return of the Zongzi, but Yanli Hou was the first person to see the Zongzi, so he could not hide it.

"In addition, I also need some treasures to assist in my practice." Li Qi said again.

"Master, please tell me. As long as the sect has it, I will give it to you first to restore your strength." Starlight Elder said solemnly, "Even if the sect does not have it, I will go to the treasure land to fight for it."

"There's no need to fight for it. The treasures I need are not the scarce ones. Xuanqing Taiyin Dew, Ningjie Fruit, Qingxin Spirit Liquid..." Li Qi shook his head slightly and named more than ten kinds of treasures that assist in cultivation.

"These treasures are indeed not rare, and they are all treasures needed by the first and second levels of the Divine King Realm. It is not difficult to obtain them."

Elder Xingguang nodded and said, "The sect has all these treasures that aid in cultivation. I will go back and get them now."

"Then I'll have to trouble the Starlight Elder." Li Qi nodded slightly.

Then, the Starlight Elder stood up and disappeared into the pavilion.

Li Qi waited quietly. With the strength of the ultimate life form of the Starlight Elder, it wouldn't take long to go back and get the things.

……

the other side.

After leaving Menglin City, Elder Xingguang returned to the Liefeng Mountains where the sect’s mountain gate was located.

This palace complex is a secret treasure above the level of the God King left behind by an elder. It has extremely strong concealing and protective abilities. It is now used by the Starlight Elder as the sect's mountain gate. Not only is it difficult for other forces to discover it, but even if they do, it is difficult to break the palace's defenses.

After returning to the mountain gate, the Starlight Elder contacted the incarnations of the divine power of the God Kings.

With the death of Dark Crow God King, there are now fourteen conscious God Kings in the sect, six of whom have left behind incarnations of divine power.

Inside the most majestic palace in the mountain gate.

The Starlight Elder in purple robes sat on the main seat, while the incarnations of the divine power of the six God Kings sat on the thrones below.

"Xingguang, why did you call us together? If it's about the fall of the dark crows, then you have to worry about it."

One of the gods, who was wearing a black robe and had eyes as lonely as the night, spoke first, and his words showed his dissatisfaction with the Starlight Elders.

As a powerful person of the same generation as Starlight Elder, he was quite dissatisfied with Starlight Elder's practice of hiding in the Fierce Wind Mountains.

"God King Fengye is right. We all know about the fall of the Dark Crow."

"Starlight Elder, we have already made a decision on the death of the Dark Crow God King. We will never let the Dark Crow fall in vain."

"The Ancient Kingdom of Flame Wind and the Ancient Kingdom of Thunder will definitely pay a price."

The other God Kings spoke one after another. Although they verbally addressed Xingguang as an elder, there was actually not much respect in their words.

These God Kings hid their identities and joined the dark forces. They had already become angry during repeated competitions for resources with the two ancient countries.

They had long forgotten about the fact that the ancestors of Flame Wind and Thunder had helped Yuan Chongzong exile the polluted mountain gate.

In other words, the kindness they remembered had long been forgotten amidst the repeated overt and covert struggles, as well as the repeated inaction of the Starlight elders.

Elder Starlight sat on the main throne, listening to the speeches of the sect gods below. Although he had expected it in his heart, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he actually heard it.

As the only sober elder in the sect, what she needs to do is to stabilize the sect. Nothing is more important than stabilizing the sect.

Precisely because she is a sober elder, she cannot die. As long as she, the elder, is still alive, the declining sect will still have cohesion.

If she died, the sect would really be disbanded. We couldn't expect the six out-of-control elders in the sealed land to come forward to take charge of the situation when the sect was in danger, right?
"Let the past...be in the past."

Elder Xingguang said silently, "Once the news of the sect leader's return is announced, everything in the sect will be back on track."

She knew that the current attitude of the sect's God Kings was formed through repeated expectations and disappointments of her, and it would be difficult for her alone to change the God Kings' impression of her.

……

"I have summoned you here this time because of the death of the Dark Crow God King." Elder Starlight said, looking towards the God Kings below.

"Elder Xingguang, do you want to lead us to personally take revenge on the two ancient countries?" Upon hearing this, the God King Fengye sneered.

"how is this possible?"

"Starlight Elder is the most stable one, how could he make such a risky move?"

"makes sense."

The God Kings below spoke one after another, all knowing that the Starlight Elders would not come forward to deal with the two ancient countries.

"Okay, no need to say sarcastic words."

Elder Xingguang sighed secretly and said loudly, "Now you all listen to me. This is related to the resurgence of our Yuanzhong Sect."

Rise?

The gods below looked at each other in bewilderment. They were surprised and stunned to hear such radical words coming from the mouths of the extremely conservative Starlight Elders.

“Xingguang, tell me.” Fengye Divine King chuckled, “I’d like to hear what you mean by the sect’s resurgence.”

Upon hearing this, all the God Kings looked towards the Starlight Elder, waiting for him to tell them about his so-called re-rise.

"The greatest disciple of the Yuanzhong Sect where I came from..." Elder Xingguang said with a relaxed smile on his face, "He has returned!"

"What? Zongzi!"

"This is impossible! The sect leader has already fallen, and he has become the biggest source of pollution for the sect's decline!"

"That level of pollution is so terrible. Even indirect pollution alone can cause the sect to fall into such a state. How could the sect leader still be alive?"

The gods below all looked shocked, but more of them questioned the words of the Starlight Elder.

These God Kings joined the three dark forces, and also learned from the founders of the three dark forces that the pollution suffered by Zongzi was irreversible!

Even indirect pollution alone could lead to the decline of Yuanzhong Sect, which had twenty ultimate-level elders. This shows how terrible the pollution suffered by the sect leaders was.

According to the founders of the three major dark forces, the powerful men from outside the cage, the pollution must have come from a terrifying existence that jumped out of the cage, even an existence comparable to Senior Yuan.

"Xingguang, even if you want to calm us down, you don't have to bring up the words of Zongzi's return... to scare us!"

Fengye Divine King looked displeased, "Even though the sect master is the biggest source of pollution for the sect's decline, he is also the leader who led the sect to dominate the Origin Continent."

The God King Fengye, who had witnessed the sect’s arrival at the summit of the Origin Continent, had great respect for the sect master, but it was the sect master who had instructed him and gifted him with the ultimate secret treasure.

The glory of Yuan Chongzong at his peak, this is what he has always missed.

If the sect had not declined, with countless years of accumulation, he might have achieved the ultimate life form and become a powerful elder.

"My eldest son, you must not be humiliated!"

Divine King Ji Ti stood up and glared at Elder Xingguang, "I, Ji Ti, will not attend future meetings." Elder Xingguang sighed, "I didn't lie to you. Whether you believe it or not, Zongzi has indeed returned."

“Xingguang, I know what happened to Zongzi, so you don’t have to lie to us anymore.” Fengye Divine King stood up, “This will be the last time I attend a meeting. Unless the sect is in danger of completely severing its inheritance, you don’t have to contact me again.”

"Me too." Another God King stood up.

"Count me in." A God King stood up and agreed.

"All right!"

Seeing that the God Kings did not believe it and were even trying to split the sect, the Starlight Elder said angrily, "If you don't believe it, then go and verify the authenticity of the Sect Master!"

"Ok?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the gods below were immediately surprised.

Verify, does this sound like something a Starlight elder would say?

Some of them have seen the Zongzi and received his favor. If they really verify it, the lies of the Starlight Elder will be self-defeating.

So, all the gods subconsciously looked at the God King Fengye, even the Starlight Elder was no exception.

Among the powerful men from the sect present, Elder Xingguang and God King Fengye are the oldest. The two are powerful men from almost the same era and have both met the sect master.

"Since it's a verification, I'll do it." Fenghuo God King said solemnly, "Xingguang, if you want to find someone to pretend to be the prince, forget it."

"You'll know once you see it." Starlight Elder snorted coldly, then asked, "Leaving now? I just happened to be delivering something to Zongzi.

"Set off immediately, and you take my incarnation of divine power with you." God King Fengye felt that Elder Starlight was very confident and did not seem afraid of being discovered by him.

"Could it be... that he is really the son?"

The Fire God King couldn't help but mutter to himself, but he quickly denied it, "It's impossible. That level of pollution is so serious. It's impossible for Zongzi to still be alive. If he was alive, he would have returned long ago. Why wait until now..."

"Let's go."

The Starlight Elder stood up and waved his hand. An invisible wave enveloped the incarnation of the power of the God King Fengye, and then he took the other party and turned into a purple light and disappeared without a trace.

After Elder Starlight left, the incarnations of the divine power of the five God Kings who remained in the palace began to communicate in low voices.

"Do you think the return of Zongzi is true or false?"

"If the sect master was still alive, he would have returned to the sect long ago. Why wait until now?"

"I hope so."

"From the confident attitude of the Starlight Elder and the verification by the Fengye Divine King, perhaps the eldest son has really returned."

"It's useless for us to speculate here. Let's wait for the verification results from the Fengye Divine King."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire palace fell into silence, and the incarnations of the divine power of these gods waited quietly.

Although they did not believe what the Starlight Elder said, they were all looking forward to the return of the eldest son.

The return of the chief disciple who once led the Yuanzhong Sect to dominate the Origin Continent has brought unimaginable good things to them, the only remaining God-Kings in the sect.

Perhaps, they will have the hope to become powerful veterans and escape the fate of being destroyed along with the Origin Continent.

……

Menglin City, Cave No. 997.

Compared with the previous length and width of only tens of millions of kilometers, the length and width of the cave now exceed one billion kilometers. Looking at the entire Menglin City, it is also one of the top caves.

Main building, top floor.

Li Qi was wearing a silver robe and still sitting at the table in the image of a dragon man, waiting for the Starlight Elder to return with a treasure to assist in his practice.

Swish!
Unlike the previous leadership led by Navenmore, with a flash of purple light, the figure of the Starlight Elder appeared beside the table.

"Master, I have brought the treasures for cultivation." Elder Xingguang placed a jade bottle on the table.

"Thank you." Li Qi nodded slightly and put the jade bottle away.

"I informed the God Kings who had left their divine incarnations in the sect of your return, but they all refused to believe that you were still alive."

Elder Xingguang sighed, "In order to maintain the survival of the sect, I have always been cautious, fearing that we would be captured and besieged by the two ancient nations, but they don't understand at all."

Li Qi remained silent.

This was only the opinion of the Starlight Elder. It was difficult for him to comment on this as he had not yet come into contact with the sect's God King.

"They don't believe that you have returned, Zongzi, so I brought the incarnation of the divine power of the Fengye God King here. Seeing that he has received your kindness, he will naturally recognize you."

Starlight Elder said, "The death of the Dark Raven God King made them very angry, and they even intended to plan to deal with the two ancient countries. It is too risky to deal with the two ancient countries with their strength. I hope you can persuade Feng Ye, Master."

"Okay." Li Qi nodded slightly, feeling a little nostalgic.

In Li Qi's existing memory, God King Feng Ye is a God King who mainly studies the origin of matter and secondary studies the origin of the world.

That’s right, before Li Qi left, the God King Fengye was even stronger than the Starlight Elder in front of him.

As to why his current strength is not as good as that of the Starlight Elder and he has not achieved the ultimate realm of the God King, it is unknown.

Of course, it is normal not to achieve the Ultimate Realm of God King. If the Ultimate Realm of God King was easy, the Ultimate Realm would have been flooding the Origin Continent long ago.

"Let Feng Ye out." Li Qi said softly, "I will convince him."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xingguang waved his hand and released the incarnation of God King Fengye.

As soon as the God King Feng Ye appeared, he couldn't help but look around. What he saw was an ordinary and simple layout of pavilions. In the distance, mountains, clouds, and pavilions could be seen, but none of these were important.

What attracted his attention most was the man sitting at the stone table.

He was wearing a silver robe, with long silver hair draped over his shoulders, dark red pupils, a pair of silver dragon horns on his forehead, a few silver scales on his cheeks, and his aura was very strange.

"Starlight?" Elder Fengye looked at Elder Xingguang beside him, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

He came to see Zongzi, not to see this unknown strong man.

"Feng Ye." Li Qi said softly, "Long time no see."

God King Feng Ye frowned. He had never seen this powerful man before, so how could he say it had been a long time since we last met?

"you……"

Just as the God King Feng Ye was about to ask the identity of the man in front of him, he saw his appearance changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The long silver hair turned black, the dark red round pupils also turned black, the silver dragon horns on the forehead and the silver scales on the cheeks disappeared, and the appearance became what he remembered.

Even the silver robe he was wearing turned into a wide white robe with a golden dragon pattern, and the fluctuation of his aura changed into something he could never forget...

"Zongzi!" (End of this chapter)
