561: Taoist priests, Taoist nuns, monks
Yang Dian remained silent.
Liu Qiaoer only mentioned the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens.
But besides the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens?
Shouldn't the Heavenly Saint Sect also have Peak Masters and Elders?
What kind of strength should these Peak Masters and Elders possess?
Besides the Heavenly Saint Sect, Chongming Star also has the Yin Demon Sect and the Destroy God Sect.
If the Heavenly Saint Sect is already this strong, could the Yin Demon Sect and Destroy God Sect, which are on par with it, have shallower Legacies?
'No wonder Yu Tian didn't dare to covet Chongming Star.'
Thinking this, Yang Dian asked with some curiosity:
"How many years has the Immortal Dao Legacy of Chongming Star existed? How many worlds has it invaded?"
Liu Qiaoer shook her head slightly:
"I don't know."
"I only heard my Master say that our Heavenly Saint Sect has a Legacy of hundreds of thousands of years and has engaged in countless wars with other worlds."
Yang Dian fell silent.
Two to three hundred thousand years is hundreds of thousands of years.
Eight to nine hundred thousand years is also hundreds of thousands of years.
The difference here is several Great Yu Immortal Dynasty's worth of history.
It's hard to imagine how strong the Legacy of Chongming Star, which has plundered countless planets and civilizations over so many years, could be.
'But why is such a powerful Chongming Star so cautious?'
'If I had that strength, I would have invaded the Primordial and Azurewave Realms the moment the Dimensional Battlefield opened, and casually dealt with the Minor Star God.'
'Could it be that Chongming Star encountered a Star God before and knows that Star Gods are not to be provoked?'
Just as Yang Dian was speculating, in the outer space of Chongming Star, two Cultivators with an ethereal aura, their sleeves fluttering, dressed as a Taoist and a Daogu, and one bald Cultivator with ring scars on his head, dressed as a Monk, were observing the Minor Star God from afar.
If one got closer, they would notice that their expressions were somewhat grim.
"How could a Star God appear here?"
Clearly, Yang Dian had guessed correctly; there were people on Chongming Star who knew about the existence of Star Gods.
As the Monk spoke, the woman dressed as a Daogu shook her head slightly:
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
After glancing at the Monk, the Daogu looked at the ethereal Taoist beside her, who was holding a jade flute in his hands:
"Brother Sansheng, wasn't the Heaven-Deceiving Formation laid by you? How could it have been broken, allowing someone to drag Chongming Realm into the Battlefield of Worlds?"
"Fortunately, it's only two minor realms; as long as these two realms are destroyed, the battlefield can be shattered."
Ye Sansheng, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Saint Sect, remained silent upon hearing this, only reaching out to scoop something from the Void Realm.
Thousands of nano-electronic insects, smaller than dust, scattered throughout the Universe's Void Realm, were then gathered into his palm.
"It's not just two minor realms."
"There's also a civilization following the path of technology hidden in the dark."
As he spoke, threads of electric light flickered in his palm.
Far away on Azurewave Star, Yang Dian simultaneously received news of extensive damage to the nano-electronic insects deployed in Chongming Star's outer space.
"Mobilize other nano-electronic insects to photograph the areas where those electronic insects were damaged."
As his voice fell, a projection appeared beside Yang Dian.
The moment the two men and one woman appeared in the projection, Yang Dian sensed that Liu Qiaoer's heart beside him began to pound wildly.
"You know them?"
Before Liu Qiaoer could reply, Yang Dian saw the man in the moon-white Taoist robe 'look' at him.
'He discovered the nano-electronic insects from such a long distance?'
No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than Yang Dian felt an inexplicable sense of threat rise.
He looked down at the hairs standing on end on his arm.
Feeling something was amiss, Yang Dian instinctively grabbed Liu Qiaoer and brought her into the spatial interlayer.
One second, he had just entered the spatial interlayer.
The next second, he found that three people had appeared where he had just been standing.
Upon seeing the faces of the three, Yang Dian's heart instinctively tightened.
These three were precisely the three captured by the nano-electronic insects.
"How is this possible?"
"They just glanced at them through an image, and they locked onto my location?"
Although what stood in the Weapon Forging Hall just now was merely a Martial Dao True Body condensed from Qi and blood.
Yet, Yang Dian still felt a chill run through him.
"This kind of strength..."
Hearing Yang Dian's surprise, Liu Qiaoer, standing beside him, instinctively looked up, becoming somewhat arrogant:
"How can the great power of the Old Ancestor be something you..."
At this point, Liu Qiaoer suddenly realized that she was still under someone else's roof and was Yang Dian's captive.
Coming back to her senses, she immediately lowered her head and remained silent.
But how could Yang Dian, having heard Liu Qiaoer's voice, let her off?
"You said one of them is your Grand Elder, that Heavenly Immortal Realm existence?"
"Who?"
Liu Qiaoer glanced at Yang Dian, then, through the spatial interlayer, gestured at the Taoist in the moon-white Taoist robe:
"He is our Grand Elder."
After identifying the Grand Elder, she then pointed to the other two, as if throwing caution to the wind:
"The Daogu is the Yin Demon Sect's Grand Elder, Daoist Nun Yin Xiu."
"The Monk is the Destroy God Sect's Grand Elder, Monk Miesheng."
"They are the three strongest individuals in our Chongming Realm."
As Liu Qiaoer spoke, Monk Miesheng swept his immortal sense around, and finding nothing, turned to the Taoist:
"Are you sure the person is here?"
Ye Sansheng glanced at him, then nodded to Daoist Nun Yin Xiu, who was also looking at him with curiosity:
"Just now, I sensed that a Disciple of my Heavenly Saint Sect 'saw' me in this place."
Saying this, he looked at Daoist Nun Yin Xiu again:
"Xiu'er, I'll have to trouble you to use the Reverse Void Great Law to see what happened here just now."
Daoist Nun Yin Xiu chuckled softly, covering her mouth:
"Brother Sansheng, why be so polite with your little sister?"
As her voice fell, Yang Dian saw the light in the real space begin to reverse.
In just a few breaths, his and Liu Qiaoer's images reappeared in the Weapon Forging Hall.
Seeing this, Yang Dian raised an eyebrow, then flicked his finger, borrowing the power of the Dimension Butterfly.
A golden light abruptly flew out of space, and under the instinctive obstruction of the Taoist, Daogu, and Monk, it transformed into a golden radiance covering the entire Weapon Forging Hall.
The images gathered by the Daogu using the Reverse Void Great Law instantly dispersed, and the three people inside the hall fell into silence.
After a moment, the golden light dissipated, and the Daogu spoke:
"The power level is very high; just a little bit of power directly scattered all spatial traces I left in the hall."
Monk Miesheng instinctively curled his fingers, and a bloody mist swirled and rose from his fingertips:
"That light, this Monk couldn't grasp it."
Taoist Sansheng remained silent for a while before speaking:
"It seems a powerful individual has set their sights on us."
Saying this, he looked outside the hall:
"That Star God, perhaps, was also drawn here by that powerful individual."
Daoist Nun Yin Xiu frowned upon hearing this:
"You mean that powerful individual's target was not the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty on Azurewave Star from the beginning, but rather they calculated that Yu Tian wouldn't be able to handle the Star God and would drag us into it?"
"Their target is us?"
"Or even..."
Before Yin Xiu could finish her sentence, Taoist Sansheng raised his hand and interrupted her:
"Plans succeed through secrecy, and fail through disclosure."
"Let's discuss this thoroughly when we return."
Daoist Nun Yin Xiu looked left and right, then immediately closed her mouth, nodded to Taoist Sansheng, and disappeared from the Weapon Forging Hall.
As soon as she left, Monk Miesheng also followed her, vanishing.
Taoist Sansheng, however, cupped his hands and bowed towards where Yang Dian had originally stood:
"Cultivating Immortality is not about fighting and killing, but about human relations and social etiquette."
"Since Fellow Daoist did not directly attack my Chongming Realm, it suggests that you are not confident in taking down my Chongming Realm."
"Why not sit down and talk, to see if we can both get what we need?"
"This humble Taoist awaits Fellow Daoist's esteemed presence at the Heavenly Saint Sect."
With that, Taoist Sansheng also disappeared from the Weapon Forging Hall, leaving only wisps of smoke rising in the hall.
Yang Dian, hidden in the spatial interlayer, pondered Daoist Nun Yin Xiu's unfinished words.
"Target, or even what? ..."
