Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 597 - 247: Taking the Initiative to Attack

Inside the Pill Dawn Hall, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao was busy working at his desk.

The approaching Nine-star Tide was bringing with it a mountain of tasks, especially the deployment of troops from provincial elite forces which required his approval, keeping him extremely busy.

Suddenly, Cheng Yuxiao’s Star-picking Order vibrated.

Cheng Yuxiao didn’t pay much attention to it.

His Star-picking Order received numerous messages daily, and he usually ignored them unless it was an extreme emergency.

The next moment, Cheng Yuxiao’s Star-picking Order vibrated violently three times in succession.

It was an urgent Starlight Transmission.

That made Cheng Yuxiao’s expression turn stern, could it be that the Nine-star Tide had already begun?

Extending his senses, he detected no fluctuations of the Star Tide between Heaven and Earth.

As his mind connected with the Star-picking Order, Cheng Yuxiao was somewhat surprised.

It was a transmission from the Galaxy Marshal Mansion.

"State Preceptor Cheng, in 15 minutes, there will be a meeting at the Galaxy Commander Mansion. Grand Marshal Wei will be attending in person, please be on time."

The sender was the Left Military Adviser of the Galaxy Battlefield Marshal Mansion.

Cheng Yuxiao frowned.

With the Nine-star Tide approaching, why would the Galaxy Battlefield Marshal Mansion call an emergency meeting?

Could it be that something had happened at the Galaxy Battlefield?

Every year, as the Star Tide approached, crises would emerge in the current world, but in reality, the Galaxy Battlefield bore the brunt of the Star Tide’s pressure.

If something had gone wrong at the Galaxy Battlefield, then the pressure on the current world would increase manifold.

In an instant, even State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao felt anxious.

There had been incidents at the Galaxy Battlefield before. Twenty-seven years ago, during the Nine-star Tide, a major accident had occurred at the Galaxy Battlefield.

The Dachu Marshal was assassinated, the Dachen Marshal severely injured, and several key generals met with mishaps, resulting in a chaotic situation at the Galaxy Battlefield.

That year, the rivers ran red with blood in the current world.

In Dachen alone, millions of citizens were killed or injured.

It was a catastrophic event.

Twenty-one years ago, ten days before the Star Tide erupted, there was a disturbance at the Galaxy Pass, resulting in supplies not being delivered on time to the front lines of the Galaxy Battlefield.

That year, the armies from all sides at the Galaxy Battlefield suffered heavy losses, especially Dachen, with two Seventh Tier experts killed, three severely injured, and seven Sixth Tier experts also severely injured.

In such situations, Lingji Star Hall and Dachen could only send elite forces to the Galaxy Battlefield.

But the consequence was that it left Dachen’s domestic power severely weakened.

A year later, the two great Star Halls attacked Lingji Star Hall, seizing it and then setting up in Dachen.

It was hard to say these two events were unconnected.

But since then, Dachen’s decline deepened, and its influence over the Galaxy Battlefield decreased, without any Eighth Tier experts to investigate the matter further.

Since then, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao had become extremely sensitive to any changes at the Galaxy Battlefield.

If history was to repeat itself, should Dachen continue sending forces to the Galaxy Battlefield?

Despite his worries, Cheng Yuxiao entered the secret realm of the Galaxy Commander Mansion on time to attend the meeting hosted by the Galaxy Marshal Mansion.

As Cheng Yuxiao appeared in the secret realm of the Galaxy Commander Mansion, Tianyang Star Lord, Cangming Star Lord, Doom-suppressing Star Lord, Emperor Da Hong, and Emperor Da Chu appeared one after another.

These were the main seats held by powers of the current world at the meeting of the Galaxy Commander Mansion.

Twenty years ago, the Emperor of Da Chen also had a seat here, but at that time, Lingji Star Lord and the Emperor of Da Chen attended.

Times change; Lingji Star Lord no longer had a seat, and the Emperor of Da Chen, due to the defeat in that battle, also lost his seat, replaced by the State Preceptor of Dachen who had forced back two Star Lords in a bloody battle.

Since then, this meeting seat had always been attended by the State Preceptor of Dachen.

To this day, that had been more than twenty years.

"Wen Hu pays his respects to everyone."

Suddenly, a figure descended, bowing and saluting the current authorities—it was Mountain Mist Domain Master Wen Hu of the Sixth Order Star Domain.

Including Cheng Yuxiao, all the Star Lords and Emperors rose and returned the gesture.

A Domain Master of a plucked Sixth Order Star Domain like Wen Hu was extremely respectable.

Compared to his near-death state a little over a month ago, Wen Hu now seemed very spirited, clearly indicating that his previous desperate situation had changed.

"Jin Tao pays his respects to everyone."

"Wei Yun pays his respects to everyone."

"Ji Siming pays his respects to everyone."

"Hu Cheng pays his respects to everyone."

"Meng Ke pays his respects to everyone."

These were six Domain Masters of Sixth Order Star Domains, the only six to be successfully established in the Galaxy Battlefield.

However, there were more than six Sixth Order Star Domains in the Galaxy Battlefield; only these six had been successfully established.

By comparison, more had failed.

Then, over ten Fifth Order Domain Masters arrived, each paying their respects one by one, to which the many powerful figures also rose and responded with gestures.

These individuals truly contributed to the current world.

The next moment, everyone’s expression turned solemn.

Three beams of starlight descended, one of which directly took the chief seat—it was none other than Grand Marshal Wei Xu of the Galaxy Marshal Mansion.

Accompanying him were the Left Minister of War and Left Military Adviser of the Galaxy Battlefield Marshal Mansion.

One on the left, one on the right, they sat beside Grand Marshal Wei Xu.

Wei Xu was a middle-aged man with a square face, sporting a short beard, and had a scholarly yet commanding presence, with eyebrows sharp as blades.

However, even with Grand Marshal Wei Xu’s arrival, the meeting did not start immediately; they were still waiting for someone.

Just as it seemed they reached the ultimate time limit for the meeting, suddenly, a beam of starlight descended.

The starlight took form, revealing a short, plump, dark-faced old man.

When they saw this old man, everyone present, including the Grand Marshal of the Galaxy Battlefield, instantly rose to greet him.

Cai Shu!

The only existing Domain Master of the Seventh Order Star Domain.
