The forced reversal of the Blue Sky Sword Sea had already spread among the circle of Saints.
From Quasi-Saints to Great Saints, everyone knew this news and began to speculate who had done this.
To reverse the Blue Sky Sword Sea, a cultivator needed to meet two conditions:
First, they must possess great divine abilities related to time. Second, they must have a great obsession with the Blue Sky Sword Sea.
Who had such an obsession with the Blue Sky Sword Sea?
The first thought that came to the Saints' minds was the Fourteen Sons of Vast Sky. Seven of these former Great Emperor candidates had become Saints and had the power to reverse the Blue Sky Sword Sea.
However, the Great Saints hadn't detected any lingering spiritual power from these seven at the scene, so people turned their speculation to another powerful figure.
The White Emperor.
The White Emperor was a frequent visitor to the Blue Sky Sword Sea, coming every few thousand years. He seemed even more attached to it than the Fourteen Sons of Vast Sky.
What he sought was the remaining half of the flying sword from the Blue Sky Sword Sea.
This was common knowledge in the Saint circle. They also knew that this half of the flying sword was in the hands of the Old Fisherman, and it was the hilt of the Immortal Sword. As for where the sword tip had gone, that was unknown.
The sword hilt held by the Old Fisherman wasn't easy to obtain either, because the Old Fisherman combined with the sword hilt had power rivaling a Great Saint in the shattered Blue Sky Sword Sea.
The White Emperor's power would be somewhat suppressed upon entering this star region, so he couldn't gain any advantage over the Old Fisherman who was being corrupted by darkness.
This resulted in the White Emperor coming repeatedly but never obtaining the Immortal Sword.
So the Saints speculated that it was the White Emperor who wanted to reverse the Blue Sky Sword Sea.
His love for the Blue Sky Sword Sea was truly profound.
The Saints could only sigh.
Now Emperor Capital and Qiu Li knew the truth about the reversal of the Blue Sky Sword Sea, but neither of them wanted to reveal it to the other Saints.
Emperor Capital felt unbalanced, thinking why should he be the only one to take a beating, the other Saints should get beaten too, so he kept quiet, hoping the other Fourteen Sons of Vast Sky who had become Saints would also get beaten.
Qiu Li's thoughts were similar, he just didn't want the other Saints to have it easy.
It could be said that there was a reason these two had gotten together in the first place.
In the sea of stars composed of thousands of celestial bodies.
Cultivators came and went, some were from great families riding flood dragons through the universe, others were solitary cultivators walking the cosmos alone.
The destination of all cultivators was the most central and brilliant star among the thousands of celestial bodies.
That was the ancestral star of the Saints, the center of this sea of stars, the most prosperous place.
It was rumored that on the ancestral star, mountain movers were as common as dogs, and sea inverters walked all over the place.
Mountain movers being as common as dogs might be true, after all, a purebred dog was rare on the path of cultivation.
But sea inverters walking all over the place was a bit of an exaggeration, after all, those of the Sea Inversing Realm were cultivators who could roam the universe alone and were considered big shots even on remote stars.
However, the fact that such rumors could spread was enough to demonstrate the strength of the cultivators and the abundance of opportunities on the ancestral star.
Legend had it that even a dog could cultivate to the Mahayana Realm if it reached the ancestral star.
Such were the opportunities and fortune of the ancestral star!
Cultivators headed towards the ancestral star with various thoughts in mind, hoping to carve out their own path and become great cultivators capable of presiding over a region.
On the ferry carrying tens of thousands of cultivators, young cultivators who had just stepped onto the path of cultivation excitedly discussed how they would pursue their cultivation after entering the ancestral star.
Most of these cultivators had already been reserved by sects on the ancestral star, with only a few needing to pass sect trials.
So most of the young cultivators were quite relaxed, chatting and laughing.
"Hao Lin, I heard the sect you're going to is really powerful. The sect leader is a big shot of the Heaven Mending Realm. The Heaven Mending Realm, that's a legendary figure! In my hometown, the most powerful person is just my father at the third layer of the Sea Inversing Realm."
"Haha, I'm just lucky. Yu Jun, you're not bad either, the sect you're going to is quite good too. I heard they're very generous to their disciples."
"..."
The young cultivators continued to chat, full of expectations for their future cultivation path.
The girl named Yu Jun suddenly turned her head, looking at the young man playing chess by himself at the bow of the ship, and asked with a smile.
"Bai Lu, you're the most knowledgeable. Do you know the history of the ancestral star?"
The young man wearing white clothes embroidered with forest deer looked up and nodded.
"The books mention some of it. It's said that twenty thousand years ago, this ancestral star was just a remote celestial body, like our hometown, without any powerful cultivators, at the bottom of the star region."
"But over ten thousand years ago, a prodigy emerged out of nowhere, leading the entire ancestral star to rise. He himself became a Quasi-Saint, then a Saint, leading the ancestral star to become the most prosperous place in the star region, with the most cultivators and best opportunities in the southeast of the star region!"
"Wow!" Yu Jun's eyes lit up, full of admiration, and she couldn't help but ask further.
"What's the title of this Saint? He's really amazing!"
The young man Bai Lu shook his head, "I'm not sure, the books don't have much record of this. We only know that this Saint was a prodigy in his youth, but not considered the top-tier prodigy."
"After he became famous, he was called the Flame Sage, but no other titles were revealed..."
"Three Thousand Flame Feather Crows, Chi Yu." A voice filled with amusement sounded.
Everyone turned their gaze.
They saw a young man in a blue robe standing in front of the chessboard.
"Who are you?" Bai Lu asked curiously.
"Just a passerby. I saw the chessboard and felt like playing a game," Chen Xia said with a smile.
"Who is Chi Yu?" Bai Lu asked again.
"The Saint of the ancestral star, the one you were talking about," Chen Xia replied with a smile.
"How do you know?"
"Because I know him," Chen Xia continued to smile.
Bai Lu didn't respond. He was convinced that Chen Xia was lying to him.
Chen Xia turned his head to look at that brilliant, enormous star, his eyes somewhat misty.
Not just know him.
We're old acquaintances.
He turned his head back and asked with a smile.
"Want to play a game?"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
