Chapter 1154 - Seven Stars

Chapter 1154 – Seven Stars

“Ancestor, please spare me! I am only following orders!”

Before he could finish, he was replaced by a miserable scream.

Daoist Jiu Si’s cold snort echoed in the sky above the Star Cliff, “Hmph, you can avoid death by committing the crime, but go back and tell the Seven Pagoda that if they want the cliff then they can personally come and take it. This old man will wait here for them. Then it’s just nice to have a spar with this old man. ”

A streak of light flew out from the Star Cliff and fled into the starry sky in a panic. Behind it, there were also several streaks of light that fled in panic.

Yang Junshan descended behind Daoist Jiu Si, and in the middle of the gathering star cliff, two streaks of light flew out to assist him. When they saw Daoist Jiu Si, the two cultivators fell out of the light, and paid their respects to him, “Master!”

Daoist Jiu Si responded with a “En”, then said with a calm expression: “Get up, it’s been a long time since you two have worked hard here. This old man has been travelling for dozens of years.”

When Mo Ya and Chi Xing heard this, they were greatly touched and said: “It’s not hard work. Watching over the house for teacher has always been your duty as disciples!”

“Teacher instructed us in cultivation, and also bestowed us with a large amount of cultivation resources. How could we be withoueacher today? The Star Cliff has been managed by teacher for many years, so this disciple and disciple definitely won’t let anyone else take it.”

Daoist Jiu Si nodded and asked again, “Since when did that fellow from the Seventh Pagoda make things difficult for you?”

“Reporting to teacher, it’s not that the seven pagodas’ ancestor is in a difficult situation with us, it’s just that his subordinate, Hua Gai Daoist, Duan Ming, has been targeting us from all sides for the past seven to eight years. At the start, however, he was only trying to recruit a few Starry Skies cultivators to go to his city square and secretly suppress the prices of the various cultivation items there. In the last two years, there’s been a rumor that teacher hasn’t appeared for decades, and has already been dead for decades.”

Chi Xing added on at the side, “The Star Cliff Market created by teacher is already this generation’s largest trading market in the Star Region. Duan Ming was obviously greedy and wanted to seize the market for himself.”

To provoke a Huang Ting, only by possessing the support of an opponent that was on par with him would it be possible. If Duan Ming did not have the support of the Seventh Pagoda’s Patriarch, even if the Grand Taoist Jiu Ren fell outside, it would not be enough for him, a cultivator of Huagai’s field, to invade and take over the Stellar Cliffs. It was precisely because of this, even if Duan Ming’s leg had struck the iron wall, the Grand Taoist Jiu Ren would not directly kill him.

Grand Taoist Jiu Ren was clear on this point, but he snorted and said, “This old man knows about this matter. In the future, I will definitely have a fight with that fellow, the Seventh Patriarch.”

After he finished speaking, Grand Taoist Jiu Ren turned around and introduced Yang Junshan to the two of them, and said: “This Taoist Yang is a good friend of mine who I met while travelling through the starry sky, and Taoist Yang is a grandmaster of formations. This time, the reason why I was invited was to improve the Stellar Cliffs’s protective formations.

Mo Ya and Chi Xing looked at Yang Junshan at the same time, and then bowed: “Junior pays his respect to Senior Yang.”

The two cultivators in front of him were definitely older than him, and being addressed as seniors by the two older people, Yang Junshan felt a little uneasy, and immediately said: “I dare not, but you two fellow daoists can just discuss friendship with me.”

After exchanging a few words, Jiu Si instructed the two honorary disciples, “Although this old man has come to Mo Ya, tell this old man about the circumstances of the Star Cliff that happened during the past twenty years, and that Chi Xing has brought Taoist Yang on a tour around Stellar Cliffs to get familiar with the affairs here, and then found a place for Taoist Yang to rest for the night. In this period of time, this old man will always be in charge of the Stellar Cliffs.

When the two honorary disciples heard this, they were overjoyed and immediately thanked their teachers.

Taoist Red Star led the way, and continued to introduce to Yang Junshan everything about the Stellar Cliffs.

This was a gathering place that Daoist Jiu Si established oveundred years ago. At the beginning, it was merely a city square, which was used for the cultivators of various races in the surrounding starfields to exchange and obtain what they needed. Later on, as the fame of the gathering place grew and expanded, coupled with the protection of the Huang Ting Dao Ancestor, more and more cultivators chose to settle here.

Along the way, Yang Junshan met a majority of the cultivators that all looked like “people”. However, with his level of cultivation and the secret technique of Dianthus, he already knew that at least sixty percent of the cultivators here were foreign races.

No matter how calm and collected Yang Junshan was, he could not help but ask: “Fellow Daoist Chi Xing, with all the races living here, aren’t you afraid of conflicts happening between them?”

Crimson Star laughed when he heard this, “It seems that Senior Yang must have come from one of those great powers.”

Yang Junshan’s heart was moved, and he asked: “What do you mean?”

Then, he said, “Senior, do not mention the name anymore. I, Yang, have not cultivated for too long, let’s discuss friendship.”

Therefore, he explained: “I heard Teacher say that Taoist Yang is a grandmaster of arrays, and there are very few solo cultivators that can reach this step, so I have the guts to guess that fellow Taoist might have an extraordinary background, and that only those large clans and powers would be able to preserve the identity of their race, and only cultivators that come from there would be surprised at the situation of us various races living in these galaxies.”

“Thank you for your guidance!”

Although Yang Junshan did not admit it on the surface, it was equivalent to tacitly confirming Taoist Red Star’s speculation. At the same time, he was secretly vigilant in his heart, Daoist Jiu Si had told him before that their origins were not to be known by outsiders.

The good thing was that Taoist Red Star did not ask any further questions and instead continued to explain, “Senior just asked Stellar Cliffs why all the races were able to coexist peacefully, and the truth is that the reason is very simple, it is because teacher is in charge of bringing about an order here. Stellar Cliffs was established by teacher, and as the Dao Ancestor of Huang Ting, teacher has enough power to suppress everything, allowing all the races to live in peace.”

“That’s right, Dao Ancestor Huang Ting, even in my place, Dao Ancestor Huang Ting is an extremely rare peak expert.”

Yang Junshan wanted to find out more from Taoist Red Star and intentionally said that.

“Of course, in the Starry Sky world, Dao Realm experts are considered experts, but in order to suppress an entire starfield, one would need at least a lightning tribulation Daofather to do so. Including our Stellar Cliffs, there are only three of them in all, Daofather Huang Ting.”

“This is because teacher usually keeps a low profile. Ever since the establishment of Stellar Cliffs, teacher has mostly cultivated in seclusion and traveled outside, and Stellar Cliffs has mostly been handed over to me and Senior Brother Mo Ya to take care of. Otherwise, the prosperity of Stellar Cliffs would be ranked in the top three, and the seven pagodas’ ancestors wouldn’t dare to covet Stellar Cliffs even if teacher hadn’t shown up for decades.”

After Yang Junshan heard this, he quickly asked: “Who is this Seventh Pagoda’s founder? Is he also a Daofather Huang Ting? ”

Taoist Red Star said, “The Star Peak where the Seven Pagoda Grandmaster is located at is extremely barren among the Nine Links Star Palace, but the seven of them could be considered to be heaven warping geniuses. After advancing to the Huang Ting Realm for more than ten years, they have tried to find ways to expand the scope of power of the Star Peak, and it is not just once or twice that they have clashed with the surrounding Star Regions. It is just that because the Seven Pagoda Grandmaster is very powerful, most of the people in the surrounding Star Peaks are not willing to provoke her, but unexpectedly, the people in the Star Peaks are all the more arrogant.

Yang Junshan took the opportunity to ask again: “I heard from two friends that the Stellar Cliffs’s protective formation is called the ‘Seven Stars Formation’? Was it arranged by the Grand Taoist Jiu Ren? ”

The Taoist Red Star shook his head: “This great protective formation did not come from my master, but teacher did discoveredecessor’s remains in the Stellar Cliffs. During the process of excavating the ruins, teacher controlled a portion of the protective formation, and then, simply relied on the remains and the formation to create the Stellar Cliffs.”

After saying that, Taoist Red Star glanced at Yang Junshan, and said: “Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist, you are not the first formation master teacher had invited here, since the creation of Stellar Cliffs, every time teacher went out to travel, I would basically invite a formation master to repair and perfect the formation. According to teacher, this’ Seven Stars Formation ‘, is only a residual array used to excavate the ruins that year, if it was able to display the full power of the formation, it would even be able to stop immortals from descending.”

“Unfortunately, perhaps it’s because this residual array is too profound, according to what I know, teacher has already invited three array masters, and Taoist Yang is the fourth. The current seven star formation can only be compared to a formation that is close to the Dao rank.”

In the next few days, Yang Junshan walked around Stellar Cliffs casually, and after leaving for dozens of years, it seemed that there were many things that needed to be taken care of, and he did not have the time to chat with Yang Junshan at all. Furthermore, Taoist Red Star accompanied him for two days, and after seeing him become more familiar with the place, he also disappeared withourace, probably to listen to Daoist Jiu Si’s teachings.

On this day, Yang Junshan was walking around in the market of the Stellar Cliffs. The cultivation resources of the Extraterritorial Space were similar to those of the cultivation world Yang Junshan was in, but there were also many rare and precious objects which were uncommon in the cultivation world and there were even some which he had never heard of before. Yang Junshan was naturally not shy.

It was at this moment that a faint spatial turbulence spread out from the depths of the starry sky. Even when the Stellar Cliffs was protected by a formation, many cultivators could sense the source of this spatial turbulence.

Quite a few cultivators immediately rushed out of the Stellar Cliffs into the starry sky, only to find that far away, there was a faint pagoda floating in the depths of the starry sky. As the spatial fluctuations rippled out from the depths of the starry sky, it was constantly being pulled, making the pagoda look as if it was crumbling from afar.

“The tower has seven floors, it’s the seven tower’s founder!” Some cultivators immediately shouted out.

It avoided the spatial shocks that came from the front, and quickly flew to the space outside of Stellar Cliffs. Before the light had even stopped, a voice said excitedly: “He’s done it, Daoist Jiu Si went to the door, and fought with the Seventh Pagoda’s Patriarch.”
