573: Chapter 573 Six-Star Dou Zong, Plotting Against the Starfall Pavilion

Hun Tiandi quickly sat cross-legged and activated his cultivation technique to refine the merit energy!

At the same time, above the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, a powerful and astonishing phenomenon appeared, and countless disciples looked toward the southeast.

Such a change naturally piqued everyone's curiosity.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xuan Chen, on advancing to Dou Sheng!" A hearty voice rang out above the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

The voice was like a clear breeze, spreading throughout the entire Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

The might of a Dou Sheng was peerless and unmatched!

This portion of merit was extremely vast, not at all inferior to the Golden Dragon of Luck of an empire; the three major cultivation techniques within his body operated frantically, continuously washing over his physical form.

Even more energy surged into every part of his body, and Hun Tiandi's aura began to skyrocket.

Incredibly vast merit!

His original cultivation of a Three-Star Dou Zong broke through toward even higher levels with unstoppable force.

Four-Star Dou Zong!

Five-Star Dou Zong!

Six-Star Dou Zong!

The surging merit transformed into energy to aid his breakthrough, crossing three stars in succession; Hun Tiandi's cultivation broke through from Three-Star Dou Zong to the level of a Six-Star Dou Zong.

He hadn't expected his hopes to come true; suddenly, sword qi, lightning, and pitch-black air currents erupted around his body.

With a single palm strike, the majestic mountain peak before him was shattered by lightning and sword qi, sending a plume of smoke into the sky.

Opening his eyes, a look of surprise flashed across them.

In front of him, Liu Ling, Wang Ku, and the others were standing guard by his side.

And in the distance stood Xuan Chen, alongside a familiar figure—the Pavilion Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, Sword Saint Tianquan.

Sword Saint Tianquan looked at Hun Tiandi in astonishment; his previous assessment of this disciple had truly been exceeded.

A Dou Sheng powerhouse!

A Dou Sheng powerhouse was not comparable to a Dou Zun; if Dou Zun powerhouses were the pillars of the Central Plains, then Dou Sheng powerhouses were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Aside from a few Dou Sheng powerhouses who remained in seclusion year-round, there were only those few on the surface.

Now, the appearance of a Dou Sheng powerhouse in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion was naturally exciting.

When Sword Saint Tianquan arrived, he happened to see Xuan Chen gifting the merit to Hun Tiandi nearby.

Xuan Chen gave a slight bow to Sword Saint Tianquan, and the two turned their heads to look at Hun Tiandi.

"This person is truly extraordinary, to actually refine such a vast amount of merit by force..."

"How is this possible? Even Xuan Chen himself couldn't have done it so quickly."

Xuan Chen's soul power swept out, discovering Hun Tiandi's skeletal structure and natural talent; so that was why he could absorb such a vast amount of merit.

"This foundation..."

"Thank you, Senior!" Hun Tiandi spoke to Xuan Chen.

"It is I who should thank you, otherwise I don't know when I would have been able to advance to Dou Sheng!" Xuan Chen lamented.

"You two, let us go to the Sword Pavilion to talk!" Sword Saint Tianquan spoke slowly, and with a wave of his sleeve, the Ten Thousand Sword Heavenly Pond flew toward the Sword Tomb.

The Main Hall of the Sword Pavilion!

"In learning, seniority matters less than mastery; in some respects, I, Xuan Chen, am not as capable as you, Little Mister!" Xuan Chen sipped his tea and revealed a slight smile.

"Senior, please do not call me 'Mister', you can just call me Hun Tiandi!" Hun Tiandi said.

"You have the aura of the Dragon Clan on you. What is your relationship with Ao Sihai?" Xuan Chen asked.

"My Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty has signed a contract with the Dragon Clan. As Ao Sihai is a Sovereign, I am of the same generation as him!" Hun Tiandi spoke calmly.

Such was Hun Tiandi's status.

"Since you are of the same generation as Ao Sihai, then there is no need to call me senior; just call me Xuan Chen!"

Xuan Chen said.

"Mhm!" Hun Tiandi nodded.

"Compared to the help you gave me, it's not worth mentioning!" Xuan Chen asked.

Hun Tiandi pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, I have an urgent matter and would like to ask Mr. Xuan Chen for help!"

"Oh?" Xuan Chen said with surprise.

"I would like to ask Mr. Xuan Chen to protect me for half a year!" Hun Tiandi said.

"Eh?" At this moment, Xuan Chen was confused!

"Protect you? You helped me break through, so protecting you for half a year is naturally not a problem. I'm just curious, what kind of danger are you in?"

"I am going to provoke at least five Dou Sheng powerhouses!" Hun Tiandi said firmly.

As the words fell, Xuan Chen's eyes widened. Provoking five Dou Shengs? This ability to cause trouble was likely the greatest in the continent.

"Teacher, I am prepared to take action against the Starfall Pavilion!" Hun Tiandi turned to look at the astonished Sword Saint Tianquan.

"Have you decided?" Sword Saint Tianquan took a deep breath and said solemnly.

One must know that behind the Starfall Pavilion stood a colossus, the Heavenly Mansion Alliance.

"Then let us fight!"

Sword Saint Tianquan was extremely forceful; his tolerance for the Starfall Pavilion had also reached its limit.

In those years, the Starfall Pavilion's outward expansion had already threatened his rule; furthermore, they had come to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion several times.

The first time, they forced Hun Tiandi to leave the sect; the second time, the Young Pavilion Master Ghost Demon came to the sect to make threats.

Meanwhile, during the period when Hun Tiandi and Sword Saint Tianquan were discussing their plans,

The peaceful Central Plains was once again stirred up by a piece of news!!

Not long ago, someone went to the Zhixuo Mountain Range, only to find the entire Burning Flame Valley turned into ruins, empty and without a single soul.

Even the ordinary disciples had vanished without a trace.

Seeing a scene without a shred of life, those powerhouses were stunned. A chill couldn't help but rise in their hearts; it was too eerie!

The Burning Flame Valley had at least ten thousand people, yet so many had disappeared.

When this matter spread, the entire Central Plains was shaken; various major sect forces sent powerhouses to the Burning Flame Valley.

No matter how they sensed it, the Burning Flame Valley had been completely wiped out.

The Burning Flame Valley was a first-class power in the Central Plains; although it had declined somewhat, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.

No matter how much it had declined, it couldn't have vanished so silently.

Not to mention, the Burning Flame Valley had a Dou Sheng presiding over it; even a power like the Pill Tower couldn't have destroyed a force without anyone knowing.

At the same time, everyone was speculating about the disappearance of the Burning Flame Valley.

Heavenly Mansion Alliance!

A major event had occurred; in the main hall sat several figures with powerful auras.

"Everyone, the Burning Flame Valley has been destroyed..." Pavilion Master You Quan said with a solemn expression and a cold voice.

Within the alliance, the Pill Tower, Flower Sect, Starfall Pavilion...

All fell into silence.

As the Pavilion Master, Mu Qingluan was somewhat shocked; if this wasn't handled well, the Heavenly Mansion Alliance might fall apart.

Even as allies, they were like frenemies, and the balance had been broken.

The destruction of the Burning Flame Valley was the beginning of a crack appearing in the Heavenly Mansion Alliance.

To be able to wipe out the Burning Flame Valley so mysteriously, there were likely only two forces within the Heavenly Mansion Alliance that could do it.

Those were the Starfall Pavilion or the Pill Tower!

The Starfall Pavilion was ostensibly the strongest force in the Central Plains; with its frantic expansion over the years, no one questioned the strength or foundation it possessed.

The Pill Tower had a long-standing heritage, and the three Great Giants on the surface were all Dou Sheng level existences.

Not to mention the top combat power of the Pill Tower, the Little Pill Tower, which consisted of old fellows who were semi-reclusive or in seclusion.

There was also an Ancestor of the Pill Tower who was as elusive as a divine dragon.

The Flower Sect only recruited female disciples and had been extremely low-key in the Central Plains over the years.

Regarding this change in the Burning Flame Valley, the ones with the greatest suspicion were the Starfall Pavilion and the Pill Tower; although some old fogies of the Flower Sect had no evidence to point fingers,

After the Burning Flame Valley incident, they maintained vigilance toward the Starfall Pavilion and the Pill Tower.

If the Burning Flame Valley could be destroyed, who would be next?

The Pill Tower was extremely frustrated; as one of the three Great Giants, Xuan Kongzi was somewhat depressed, knowing the severity of the matter.

Now, any action would invite trouble.

They could only remain silent.

Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion!

Hun Tiandi and Sword Saint Tianquan were still discussing their plans, plotting against the Starfall Pavilion.

"Hun Tiandi, there is news in the Central Plains saying that the Burning Flame Valley was mysteriously destroyed..." When Sword Saint Tianquan spoke, his eyes were fixed on Hun Tiandi.

"Teacher, the Burning Flame Valley has been extremely arrogant since joining the Heavenly Mansion Alliance these past few years; they must have provoked a terrifying force."

"In the Central Plains, one does not know how many forces and races are hidden whose foundations are not at all inferior to the forces on the surface!"

Hun Tiandi's expression was indifferent, not at all surprised.
