Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 613 - 253: It’s Revenge
Chapter 613: Chapter 253: It’s Revenge
Tianyang Star Hall Main Hall.
The main hall, a grand structure towering into the clouds, held pavilions, terraces, towers, and living quarters concealed within, creating a sense of concealed beauty and grandeur.
In some places, what appeared to be merely starlight, one step into it would reveal a whole new world.
This was the abode and cultivation place of the Tianyang Star Lord.
But this was not its most distinctive feature, the most notable was the exceedingly abundant starlight here.
The starlight here was denser than that in Fifth Tier and even Sixth Tier star domains.
Even the Great Elder Wang Kan, every time he came, felt his entire body relax and ease.
"Reporting to the Star Lord, all our personnel have been deployed according to plan, and additionally, as ordered by Your Excellency, the four disciples of the Sumeru Palace have also been taken care of.
However, the disciples of Sumeru Palace are very dignified, even if they’ve accepted things, they are reluctant to directly cooperate. They only say they will relay everything they have seen and experienced to us, without adding any of their own speculation or judgment.
They will not help us in making any probing actions," reported the Sixth Elder Xia Zhong, in charge of intelligence affairs within the main hall.
"A bunch of sanctimonious pricks,"
The Tianyang Star Lord scoffed coldly, "As long as they relay what they’ve seen and experienced, that’s enough. I don’t believe any family, when faced with such a pivotal event, could continue to hide such an unparalleled genius."
"Indeed, apart from us who have always been the first in the Lougong Battle, no other family would conceal such a genius. To do so would negate the point of cultivating them," chuckled the Great Elder Wang Kan.
"Yes, the Lougong Battle! It doesn’t just determine the tributes the various factions must pay to the Star Picking Building for the next three years, many of the Galaxy Battlefield’s interests are also tied to it. But what if?" The Tianyang Star Lord’s face bore a smile, but his gaze was fixed on the two elders.
Both the Great Elder Wang Kan and the Sixth Elder Xia Zhong immediately understood, this was a test from the Star Lord.
"Lord, there’s only one possibility if he still fails to appear," said Wang Kan.
"Go on." freēnovelkiss.com
"This extraordinary talent who has picked six Gold Stars must hail from Cangming Star Hall. Only the Cangming Star Hall, which has always ranked second in the Lougong, could afford to bear the enormous cost of keeping a genius hidden for another three years.
The other families, whether it is Dachen or the Doom-suppressing Star Palace.
If they have such a genius, they must use him in this Lougong Battle to advance their rank and secure a precious three-year development period," continued the Great Elder Wang Kan.
Meanwhile, the Sixth Elder Xia Zhong was somewhat anxious.
He had thought of this too but was a moment too slow and had let the Great Elder take the lead.
"The Great Elder is indeed astute."
The Tianyang Star Lord burst into laughter, "As long as we find this extraordinary talent, it will all be worth it. If we wait a few more years, it’ll be too late. It also justifies why I had Wei Xu take a hard cut this time!"
"Your Excellency’s strategies span beyond sight, securing victory from a thousand miles away. It is Your Excellency who is truly astute," the Sixth Elder Xia Zhong eagerly chimed in, making sure to assert his presence.
This caused the Tianyang Star Lord to laugh again, much pleased.
"However, we should have no problems securing first place in this Lougong Battle, right?" inquired the Tianyang Star Lord.
The Sixth Elder Xia Zhong hesitated momentarily before nodding, "Lord, we have only one Fifth Tier team, and all sides are using their most elite forces, so there’s not much difference between them.
But in the Fourth Tier, our Tianyang Star Hall has an absolute advantage. We have two captains who can bring Emblems into Sumeru Space, so victory should be ensured.
In the Third Tier, normally, our advantage is also significant. However..."
"However, what?" The Tianyang Star Lord tilted his head.
The Sixth Elder turned to look at the Great Elder Wang Kan.
He then shared the story of how the Great Elder’s disciple, Zhou Xinghuo, had been repeatedly defeated by the Great Sage Equalling Heaven in the Third Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm.
"To this day, we still haven’t ascertained the origins of this Great Sage Equalling Heaven! We only know that his Star Refining is at the Ninth Layer, his primary focus is on the Fire Series, and his Fire Series Star Skill is extremely strong, according to his voice, his age is around twenty or so," stated the Sixth Elder Xia Zhong.
"The Great Sage Equalling Heaven?"
The Tianyang Star Lord pondered for a few moments before slowly saying, "No expert can suddenly become strong out of nowhere. If he hasn’t been noticed before, it’s probably because he was overlooked.
Third-level Star Refining at the Ninth Layer?
I suspect that this Great Sage Equalling Heaven is very likely the very genius we’ve been searching for.
After the Lougong Battle, we should be able to reveal his identity."
"Your Excellency is wise!"

Cangming Star Hall.
The Cangming Star Lord was also having a similar conversation with several elders.
"If this unparalleled talent who has picked six Gold Stars still fails to appear in this Lougong Battle, there’s only one possibility! It means this unparalleled talent comes from the Tianyang Star Hall.
And only the Tianyang Star Hall could afford the enormous cost of concealing an unparalleled genius for three more years," said the Cangming Star Lord.
"If that’s the case, then these past few months, the Tianyang Star Hall has been crying thief while being the thief, business as usual," chuckled the Great Elder Sun Xianzu, stroking his beard.
"No need to hurry, everything will be revealed after the Lougong Battle! The key point is, there’s no problem with our ranking this time in the Lougong Battle, right?" asked the Cangming Star Lord.
"Rest assured, Lord, no problem with coming second, and there’s even a possibility of vying for first.
Previously, our repeated attacks on the Third-Order Purple Wind Star Domain and the Third-Order Black River Star Domain have laid a solid foundation, which should enable us to conquer these two Third Tier star domains in one fell swoop.
As long as we succeed, we have a chance at clinching first place in the Lougong Battle," said the Seventh Elder Huang Kejia.
