Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 961: Chapter 28: Sacrifice and Deceiving Heaven

Since the “robbery” by Wang Sheng, the Shattered Star Sacred Land has remained silent for almost twenty years.

Even Wang Sheng thought they had achieved their goal and might enter the Newborn Land at any time, always staying vigilant.

Occasionally, he would use the Fate Skill for calculations.

Most other cultivators thought the same way.

Yet now, the sudden actions of the Shattered Star Sacred Land let everyone know that they had not completed their objective, but were rather lying in wait.

Of course, perhaps they were also defending against a repeat of the last incident when the Heavenly Sword Saint Emperor was killed and they were publicly “robbed.”

But in any case, the tension in the old grounds became even more oppressive.

However, the initiator, the Shattered Star Sacred Land, felt nothing at all.

The Shattered Star Saint Master, Yuanhua, summoned all the Saint Emperors of the Shattered Star Sacred Land once again.

“The bodies of the three Saint Emperors have been collected; proceed to the next step and go seal the Xuan Yuan Star Domain…”

Hong Yun stood up and said, “Holy Master, a suspected Inheritance Palace of the Xuan Yuan Palace has appeared in the Xuan Yuan Star Domain, and there are quite a few Saint Emperors there.”

The Shattered Star Sacred Land is indeed strong.

But it is not yet strong enough to dominate the stars, so there are many concerns.

Yuanhua, however, did not mind: “No matter, we only need to hold them off for a while. If things go smoothly, we will stay in the Newborn Land for some time. Even if something goes wrong, no one will be dissatisfied. We have no interest in the inheritance of the Xuan Yuan Palace anyway.”

Yuanhua Saint Emperor of the Shattered Star Sacred Land had emerged from the corpses of the Xuan Yuan Palace and cared little for its so-called inheritance.

Even if that astonishing treasure meant nothing anymore, he had already used it and could no longer use it.

Moreover, he was now advancing towards a higher realm.

However, other Saint Emperors of the Shattered Star Sacred Land did not quite understand and asked, “Holy Master, are we not competing for the Xuan Yuan Palace’s inheritance?”

Yuanhua was silent for a moment and then said, “That thing won’t open for decades. Once we enter the Newborn Land, we can return at any time without a summons. Besides, the inheritance of the Xuan Yuan Palace may not be anything good…”

Yuanhua wasn’t speaking nonsense.

The events of that year were more complicated than all living beings imagined.

The other Saint Emperors, seeing Yuanhua speak this way, naturally did not continue.

Ultimately, they all said in unison, “We understand.”

“Hmm, go execute the plan!”

“Yes!”

The Shattered Star Sacred Land began to act, and all the Saint Emperors swiftly arrived at the Xuan Yuan Star Domain.

They didn’t conceal much, and since the Xuan Yuan Star Domain was already attracting many Twelfth Realm Saint Emperors due to the emergence of the Xuan Yuan Palace’s inheritance, their arrival was quickly noticed.

“Why has the Shattered Star Sacred Land come here?”

“Have they chosen their target again… Should we leave quickly?”

“Let’s leave for a while first; after all, there’s still some time before the Xuan Yuan Palace’s inheritance opens!”

Upon discovering the presence of the Shattered Star Sacred Land, some Saint Emperors began discussing leaving.

While some Saint Emperors chose to leave directly.

Such as the Boundless Saint Emperor, the Deep Sea Saint Emperor, and the Lord of Light.

The three of them didn’t discuss but left swiftly.

They stopped only after flying out of two or three star domains and gathered again.

“Why has the Shattered Star Sacred Land come, is it for the Xuan Yuan Palace’s inheritance or the passage?” asked the Boundless Saint Emperor.

The Lord of Light replied:

“The inheritance of the Xuan Yuan Palace has been out for so long, and they haven’t appeared; there’s no reason for them to come now, it’s likely for the passage. There were previous speculations that they were killing Twelfth Realm Saint Emperors to enter the Newborn Land by another method. Now it seems true, and they might have already killed enough Saint Emperors or are just one short.”

The Deep Sea Saint Emperor also agreed with the Lord of Light: “The Xuan Yuan Palace’s inheritance was destroyed by top forces back then, so its attraction should not be significant to top forces.”

“In any case, leaving is undoubtedly the safest.”

In fact, the Boundless Saint Emperor also acknowledged this speculation, or else he wouldn’t have left so unhesitatingly.

No one knew if the number of Saint Emperors to open the passage by the Shattered Star Sacred Land was indeed sufficient, and if not, they might choose a lucky one from the Xuan Yuan Star Domain.

It didn’t take long before he understood the true purpose of the Shattered Star Sacred Land.

News spread from the Xuan Yuan Star Domain that the Shattered Star Sacred Land’s Saint Emperors appeared together, using extremely forceful methods to seal off a region of the Xuan Yuan Star Domain.

Any Twelfth Realm Saint Emperor entering that area would encounter fierce attacks.

Many cultivators originally thought the Shattered Star Sacred Land came to search for a target or for the Xuan Yuan Palace’s inheritance.

But this time, the place where the Xuan Yuan Palace’s Inheritance Palace was located was not within their sealed range.

This alone let the Saint Emperors who knew the inside story understand the purpose of the Shattered Star Sacred Land.

“It seems they have enough Saint Emperors to open the passage, don’t they?”

“The Newborn Land, do we also have a chance to see it?”

“I wonder if we have a chance.”

Quite a few Saint Emperors already knew that a certain force was trying to find a way to enter the Newborn Land.

It was just that no one had figured out which force it was.

Only recently did news spread that the force behind this matter was the Shattered Star Sacred Land.

There were also rumors that a batch of Saint Emperors had been exploited by the Shattered Star Sacred Land, but without verification, it might have already become a joke.

“Whether there’s a chance or not, we must keep a watchful eye, as it’s said to be an opportunity to become Thirteen Realms.”

“An opportunity for Thirteen Realms, what does it have to do with us…”
