Taoist Master Xuanhuang

I couldn't sense it before because I was incompetent.

Now, even though he has just received the inheritance and hasn't even comprehended the visualization diagram, the Second Dream Technique, which is simply imprinted in his soul, has already begun to resonate.

"I have thought it through. I hope that you holy sages will keep your promise and not reveal any 'secrets'. We are all in the same boat and can only share the same fate."

The Great Dream Master's Way.

"Haha, it's good that you understand these things, but don't worry too much. Don't be scared by the so-called killing of demonic saints by true cultivators. They are just bluffing. There are thousands of saints in the world. How can true cultivators control them all? They are just bullying some minor saints who have no support. Even so, as long as a saint chooses to use conservative methods, true cultivators still have no way to deal with it."

The Holy Light of Demons encouraged the Great Dream Lord and the others.

True cultivation may seem tumultuous, but it's not actually that scary.

As long as the deities remain hidden within the realm, true cultivators don't have many options.

Besides, there are so many holy beings that they cannot be killed off.

Not to mention that the corrupted saints have significantly improved, and they have become somewhat more confident.

"What you say is right, sir. It's not that we want to rebel, but the true cultivators are not giving us a way to survive."

The Great Dream Master followed the train of thought of the demonic light.

“You’re absolutely right. We have no intention of going against the True Cultivators. After all, they are subordinates of the Dao Lord. If we don’t give them face, how can we not give the Dao Lord face? It’s just that these True Cultivators have gone too far. They wanted to wipe them out completely. We were forced to retaliate.”

These words struck a chord with the demon-possessed saint.

They've simply become possessed and corrupted, not that they've lost their minds.

I really don't want to have any conflict with the true cultivators. The best scenario would be for the true cultivators to take control of the core domain and wield great power in the other realms. That would be the ideal situation.

However, true cultivators do not allow it, which greatly displeases them.

They are also living beings; they need to live and they need to progress. It's too domineering to deny them the right to live just because our progress doesn't align with the true path of cultivation.

"So, we're not fighting to the death with the true cultivators, but rather letting them know we're not to be trifled with. Peace is better for everyone, isn't it, sir?" said the Great Dream Master.

"Hmm?" The black mist seemed to ponder for a moment, then said, "That's right."

In fact, the Holy Light wanted more than just that.

Peace and tranquility are their minimum goal; a higher goal is freedom, to do whatever they want, and for Zhenxiu to be unable to control them.

However, this idea is a bit too ambitious and cannot be easily revealed.

These alien beings were already under a lot of pressure, and telling them to live in peace is the bare minimum; that would frighten them.

Take it slow.

"call!"

The Great Dreamer pretended to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's begin. My lord, please prepare as many strange creatures as possible. We must let the true cultivators see our strength. Only when they are wary or even afraid can we have peace."

The Great Dream Master's Way.

"Good, very good, not bad. You are all very good." The Holy Light was very satisfied.

At the same time, no one could perceive anything amiss.

It should be noted that the higher one's cultivation level, the stronger one's perception ability. This ability is not unique to true cultivators; other living beings also possess it, though not as strong as those of true cultivators.

Even the divine possesses this kind of perception.

Magic Light was particularly adept at this, and he didn't sense anything amiss, which was enough.

This means that these alien creatures have no ulterior motives.

Unbeknownst to him, if this group hadn't already joined the subordinate camp and shielded some of their destiny's trajectory, the Great Dream Master would have already revealed his true colors.

The exchange ended quickly.

The Holy Light sought out other holy beings to gather enough strangeness together.

Among them, the Great Dream Master put forward his own requirements, such as that they should preferably be strange creatures of the same major category with similar abilities, distributed from weak to strong.

This allows for better absorption and cultivation of the fourth-tier True King Weird.

The Holy Light of Magic agreed.

the other side!
Like a dazzling galaxy, each star shines with its own unique light.

At the edge of the Milky Way, a colossal figure loomed in and out of sight.

The Starry Sky Realm is a special realm scattered throughout the vast starry sky.

The vast starry sky is immeasurable, containing countless sacred beings, and even more sacred beings exist.

Realms can be born on Blue Star, and there are also sacred realms located in the same starry sky as Blue Star.

The moon has its own lunar core, let alone the vast starry sky.

"Lord Star, they have agreed."

The voice of the magic light emanated from a star in the vast galaxy.

However, upon closer inspection, it's impossible to tell which star the signal originated from; its ability to conceal itself is remarkable.

"Not bad!"

The enormous figure was formed from the convergence of endless starlight and was called the Star Lord, a deity at the sixth-order Venerable level.

Moreover, he was not an ordinary sixth-order saint; he was at least at the late sixth-order level, and his strength was not much different from that of the sub-saints in the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts.

This is an unbelievable existence.

To understand the strength of something sacred, its popularity is important, but the level of civilization it represents is even more crucial.

Beings at a lower level of civilization are incapable of supporting the birth of a higher level of divinity.

Why is the Xia Kingdom so abnormal, with all sorts of powerful and divine beings clustered together, and all sorts of incomprehensible realms emerging one after another?
It was because of the profound civilization of the Xia Kingdom that it was able to survive.

In other words, without a profound civilization, it is impossible to cultivate top-level realms and sacred beings.

Therefore, even in places like the Moon Heart, the sacred beings outside the Xia Kingdom are only at the early stage of the sixth rank, the level of a Venerable Lord. It was only after Diana and Mani died that Chang'e was promoted to the middle stage of the sixth rank.

This means that widespread dissemination is not the decisive factor; what determines the strength or weakness of a sacredness is civilization.

Civilization is the most important support for something sacred and powerful.

Outside of the Xia Kingdom, there are very few saints who have reached the mid-stage of the sixth rank, and this Star Lord at the late stage of the sixth rank is extremely rare.

Even the most sacred beings in the starry sky are among the highest level.

The Star Lord is the mastermind behind the demonized Holy Unity, the biggest conspiracy behind all of this.

Otherwise, the strongest beings would be the saints of large realms, who would not be able to unite. No one would submit to anyone else, so how could they cooperate?
It was the existence of the Star Lord, the mastermind behind everything, that supported the demonized holy resistance camp.

However, he is very well hidden, and to this day, no one knows where the Star Lord's realm is, nor whether he is an Eastern Star God or a Western Star God.

Or perhaps it is a boundary where East and West meet.

The Star Lord has a powerful ability to guide the divine to the starry sky. Once the soul enters the stars, it is as if the star has become the master of the stars.

Although they are not born as star gods, they possess some of the abilities of star gods, which is something that the saints value highly.

Furthermore, the Star Lord also possesses a powerful cultivation technique called the "Innate Star God Refining Divine Diagram".

Anyone who joins his camp will be granted this skill.

The ultimate goal is to become a true star god.

The temptation is too great; it's like having a second identity, a second divine position.

It can use the power of the stars to temper the body, and is a method to break free from one's own limitations.

Many deities were drawn by this temptation and joined the Star Alliance founded by the Star Lord. Look at this sky full of stars; each one represents a deity. Some stars are very bright, indicating powerful deities, at least at the fifth-order Venerable level.

Some stars are weaker, representing the fourth-tier king level.

The Star Lord can easily communicate with any realm by using starlight to cover the Blue Star.

Starlight is his antennae, a very powerful ability.

Whether through enticement or coercion, many weaker deities joined his Star Alliance.

However, he made very little progress in the Xia Kingdom, mainly because the Xia Kingdom was such a unique place.

He was confident that he could deal with any Saint below the late stage of the sixth rank, but there were several top-tier Saints of the sixth rank in Xia Kingdom.

He wouldn't dare covet such a powerful figure; if he were discovered by such a powerful figure, he would be in a very difficult situation.

Therefore, it has the fewest connections with the Xia Kingdom.

He dared not go to the core realm at all, and he was also very afraid of the Xuanhuang Dao Lord.

He could only cautiously probe the foreign lands of Xia Kingdom. The Holy Alliance of Demon Light was the result of his efforts over the years.

"Try to get them to cultivate a cosmic anomaly. I'll give you plenty of anomalies here; just tell them about it."

The Star Giant waved his hand, and a shooting star-like point of light flashed and disappeared.

The moment the Star Lord made his move, countless stars stared intently, trying to see where the streak of light was going, hoping to pinpoint which star it was that was the Demon Light Saint.

Unfortunately, their plan failed. After flashing with light, they disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where they had vanished to.

Mo Guang was also very nervous, afraid that others would discover the star he was on.

Thankfully, thankfully, I was overthinking it.

After all, he had staked most of his wealth on the Star God. How could he become a true Star God without making sacrifices?

Everyone knows it's a temptation, even a trap, but who can resist?

The Star Lord said that this star is yours now, and you can do whatever you want.

A star is placed before you, and it belongs to you. Who can resist exploring it and possessing it?
No one could resist.

But if one can't resist the urge to possess this unclaimed star and become a true star god, then one needs to pour their heart and soul into it.

Once you've poured your heart and soul into it, the sunk costs will grow larger and larger until no one will give up.

The Star Lord used this method to turn so many deities into his subordinates.

The Pure Yang Strategy is the kind that's practically unsolvable.

Whether you come or not is your choice.

If you come, you will receive a unique, unclaimed star; if you don't come, you won't get it—it's up to you.

Is it permissible to refuse?
It should be understood that the stars bestowed by the Star Lord are special stars, stars with powerful fortune and extraordinary spirituality.

It is a primordial star, not one of the ordinary stars in the universe.

Ordinary stars have a field and are very strong, but they cannot compare to special stars. These special stars are where countless living beings have placed their fantasies and beliefs.

For example, Greedy Wolf, Seven Killings, or certain zodiac signs, etc.

Civilization, civilization is the fundamental reason for the transformation of these stars.

When they are summoned, the holy beings will gather into a galaxy, but when they are not summoned, they will be scattered in the endless starry sky, unable to find each other's tracks.

After all, the vast starry sky is too big.

Mo Guang was afraid of being discovered. If he were discovered, it wouldn't be surprising if other saints had different thoughts.

"You should also hand over your preparations to Magic Light. This time, success is the only option; failure is not an option. It is crucial to our plan."

The Star Lord addressed the assembled stars.

Hundreds of stars flashed before disappearing without a trace.

We still can't tell where they went, and we can't determine who Magic Light is.

The Starry Sky Conference has ended.

The starlight slowly dissipated, leaving only the figure of the Star Giant, the Star Lord.

“Xuanhuang, you forced me to this, you were the one who wanted to exterminate them all. How dare a mere worm covet the authority of the Star Mother? I thought this was already going too far, but your three avatars still want to covet the position of Star God. This is truly outrageous.”

When all the starlight disappeared, the Star Lord revealed his true form.

With striking eyebrows and sharp eyes, he seemed unapproachable and of unparalleled nobility.

Being a deity is naturally noble, especially a deity of this level, a star lord-level being.

He vented his frustrations.

In summary, it was all due to Xuanhuang's coercion.

To say that Xuanhuang did it intentionally is absolutely not true, but unintentional harm is still harm.

The so-called seizure of power refers to the Star Mother Primordial Sovereign. Whether intentional or unintentional, the existence of the Star Mother Primordial Sovereign is a way of seizing power over the starry sky.

Moreover, when the Star Mother Primordial Sovereign used this title, it was indeed for the sake of authority in the starry sky.

Originally, the realm where the Star Lord resided was a very large realm, and there were two people of his level: one Star Lord and one Star Mother.

Why is the Star Lord at such a high level?
He reached the late stage of the sixth-order Venerable Lord level.

Because the Star Mother is gone.

Just as Chang'e made great progress after Diana and Marnie were gone.

His current level is also due to this.

And the reason why there are so many vacant Star Gods is also because their authority has been seized.

With the conferment of the title of the three great gods, which embodied the greatest fortune of the human race, it was like a project that two sides were vying for.

Naturally, the side with greater ability and luck is more likely to secure the project.

Clearly, the combined fortune of the three great gods' investiture is not something a mere sixth-tier star lord like him can seize.

Why did he so generously bestow the title of Star God upon the Holy One? It was all revenge.

Rather than having the future Star Gods appointed by the three great gods, it would be better to let the holy beings under your control compete for them.

Once the divine being he controls enters the game alone, and the sunk costs accumulate enough, they will fight desperately even if true cultivators compete with them in the future.

This constitutes the act of planting landmines.

If I fill all the vacant Star God positions, then when true cultivators are conferred godhood in the future, they will see that there is still a Star God in existence, and that I am not the only one.
This will inevitably lead to conflict; this contradiction is unstoppable.

In his view, all of this was caused by Xuanhuang.

And that is indeed the case; the Star Lord's misfortune was indeed caused by him, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, there are many more victims.

Where do the current demon-possessed saints come from?

All the seventh-order true spirits in the Yellow Springs Realm are gone. How did this happen?

The strange creature was originally a chosen one of heaven, a protagonist of the era, so why is there no fertile ground for its survival within the Xia Kingdom?
and many more.

There are too many reasons for this, and all of this is due to the rise of Xuanhuang.
