Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 918: Chapter 10: “Jie Jie Jie

“Is this the world where the Starlight Palace is located? As expected of a Secret Realm established by three major forces together. I had only heard of it before; I never thought I would come here in such a way.” Duan Lingxian looked at the Starlight Secret Realm, which resembled an Immortal Realm, and sighed with emotion.

In her previous life as part of the Tenth Realm, she had been to many places, but never to the Starlight Secret Realm.

Only after arriving did she realize that the Secret Realm where the Starlight Palace is located was even more breathtaking than imagined.

Upon entering the Secret Realm, it was as if one was inside an Immortal Realm, with peaks rising and falling, lush vegetation, and clear streams gurgling, the rushing sound of water stirring people’s heartstrings.

At the center of the Secret Realm stood a magnificent and spectacular palace. Above the palace, starlight was dazzling, as if tens of thousands of meteors were streaming through the sky. Mysterious creatures surrounded the palace, and the air was imbued with a mysterious atmosphere, all of which highlighted the extraordinary nature of this Secret Realm.

This was the famous Starlight Palace.

The Starlight Palace does not usually open and serves as a residence for the three Saint Emperors only when they descend.

Duan Lingxian, even with her tens of thousands of years of life in her previous existence, had rarely seen such a scene.

Her teammates were not as sentimental.

“Sister Duan, I’ve already found out about the Starlight Festival we’re participating in as hosted by the Main God.” This came from her teammate, who was also her follower.

“Get to the point.”

“In addition to the celebrations, the most important event is the competition. Those from the Fifth Realm to the Seventh Realm can participate, with competitions held for each realm. It’s said that big figures from the Ninth Realm and above will be watching, even the three Saint Emperors of the Starlight Palace. If one performs well, in addition to prizes for different rankings, there’s also a chance to be taken as a disciple by those big figures.”

The teammate explained clearly, and Duan Lingxian naturally understood.

However, she was also curious about why the Main God Space was having them participate in the Starlight Festival.

Could it be that one of the three Saint Emperors of the Starlight Palace was the creator of the Main God Space?

After pondering for some time, she had no clue at all.

This mission was indeed somewhat strange.

It was entirely different from previous tasks.

“I hope there won’t be any incidents…”

Others in various teams shared her sentiment.

They did not understand why the Main God Space would have them come to the Starlight Palace either.

However, since the task was already assigned, they dared not defy it.

Each went ahead to sign up for the Starlight Festival.

The requirements for signing up were minimal; as long as one’s cultivation was up to standard, it was easy to register.

The next steps involved waiting for the preliminary selection and gradually improving their ranks.

Unbeknownst to them, Wang Sheng watched everything unfold.

“I also wonder, after decades of cultivation, how far they can go within their respective realms.”

Even for someone like Duan Lingxian, he did not believe she could reach first place in the Seventh Realm.

If the Reincarnation Saint Emperor were here, there might be some hope.

Unfortunately, the Reincarnation Saint Emperor was reborn not long ago. Though he joined the Main God Space, he hadn’t participated in many tasks and his cultivation wasn’t high enough to qualify for the Starlight Festival competition.

“Even if you lose, don’t lose too miserably…”

Feng and Jin were also beside Wang Sheng. Feng noticed Wang Sheng’s interest in some weaker participants and curiously asked, “Is there anyone here you find interesting?”

“Sort of. They’re ones I nurtured. This time is a good opportunity to see how they measure up. Besides, they’re all reborn individuals.”

This piqued Jin’s interest as well.

They thought reincarnation was a secret, and here Wang Sheng casually mentioned it.

Feng and Jin took advantage of the fact that the three Saint Emperors of the Starlight Palace had yet to arrive to start investigating directly.

Ultimately, they did find a few.

“Is it them?”

Feng pointed to a few people.

Wang Sheng raised his eyebrows.

“Indeed, it is them, though it’s impressive that you managed to find them.”

All those with high cultivation in their previous lives, including Duan Lingxian, were identified.

Feng shook his head and said, “We didn’t see that they were reborn individuals; we just guessed from various factors like age that they were the most likely candidates.”

From any viewpoint, reincarnated individuals were indistinguishable from ordinary people.

But this also proved Wang Sheng’s success.

This knowledge reassured Feng and Jin.

At least they weren’t being led along blindly.

Although it was still Wang Sheng’s assertion, there was now tangible evidence and the individuals they identified were indeed extraordinary.

For instance, reaching the Seventh Realm by their thirties.

After learning of these individuals’ existence, Feng and Jin finally found some amusement, focusing intently on Duan Lingxian and the others.

They were also interested in the performance of reborn individuals.

Before long, the festival began.

The three Saint Emperors of the Starlight Palace, Fei Luan, Star Fox, and Jiu Cai, descended.

The three Saint Emperors were shrouded in mist, incredibly mysterious, and brought with them absolute silence as they made their entrance.

In the presence of Saint Emperors from the Twelfth Realm, no one dared to act presumptuously.

Once the three Saint Emperors settled in the Starlight Palace, those holding the ceremony spoke words of utmost praise, extolling the virtues of the three Saint Emperors.

Wang Sheng, Feng, and Jin hid within the space.

Both Wang Sheng and Feng, Jin were masters of the domain of space, with formidable hiding capabilities.

Thus, even within the Secret Realm, they were not detected by the three of Fei Luan.

As their titles suggested, all three Saint Emperors of the Starlight Palace were Divine Beasts.

Fei Luan took the form of a luan bird, a creature of legend in many parts of the ancient land, considered an auspicious bird; Star Fox was a nine-tailed white fox, surrounded by starlight, born from a mysterious meteorite that fell from the starry sky, quite mysterious and also regarded as auspicious in ancient legends; Jiu Cai was a nine-colored deer, surrounded by flowing light, considered a symbol of happiness in ancient legends.

In general, all three were auspicious beasts.

Of course, the determination of whether a living being is auspicious, apart from appearance, also relies on their conduct being non-violent.
