Chapter 1244: Numerous Geniuses
Regarding the Starry Alliance, Luoyang and Ancestor Bodhi did not discuss further.
Compared to the Starry Alliance, they are as insignificant as ants. Though they are notable figures in the Lower-Class Star Region, they are nothing in the presence of such a colossal force as the Starry Alliance.
"The passage is now open!"
Right after their conversation ended, an old man among the Starry Alliance's millions of cultivators suddenly spoke: "This passage has been forcefully opened by us, breaking through the protection of Dragon Martial Intent, and can only exist for one day at most. If you wish to enter for training, you may do so now."
Hearing this, many young men and women showed expressions of anticipation.
To them, it's just an abandoned planet. With their cultivation base, once they enter the Dragon Martial Continent, they're sure to be among the peak individuals. They may not be the strongest, but with numerous methods of protection, they will be extremely safe on the Dragon Martial Continent.
For them, it's not about training against the Dragon Martial Continent's natives; their main target is the Extraterritorial Demons.
The only threat within the Dragon Martial Continent to them might be these Extraterritorial Demons.
"Let's wait for now."
Luoyang smiled at the old man from the Starry Alliance and then said: "Our sect has already contacted the Starry Guide for Dragon Martial Continent. He is most familiar with the distribution of powers on the Dragon Martial Continent."
"Would a grand sect like the Sect of the Heavenly River be afraid of the natives on Dragon Martial Continent?" A voice, dripping with sarcasm, echoed.
Luoyang turned to see an old woman watching him, her mouth twisted in mockery.
"Chen Lii, if your Seven Mysteries Sect is not concerned, you may enter right now," Luoyang responded flatly.
The old woman snickered but said nothing more.
The Seven Mysteries Sect and the Sect of the Heavenly River both belong to the Seventy-Two Sects. Due to their proximity, they often clash during disciples' training or resource competition, and over time, their relationship has soured.
Before long, a figure appeared, not directly leaving the Dragon Martial Continent, but gazing across the Dragon Martial Intent at the various forces.
This person is the Starry Guide of the Dragon Martial Continent, the same person who previously left with Xiang'er, Yuj Lin!
Facing these powerful entities, Yuj Lin displayed utmost respect without the slightest hint of insolence.
He first cupped his fists toward the old man from the Starry Alliance, then toward Luoyang, Ancestor Bodhi, and others, saying: "Starry Guide of Dragon Martial Continent, Yuj Lin, greets the seniors."
"Hmm..."
Luoyang smiled and waved his hand: "No need for formalities. Tell me, how is the distribution of powers on the Dragon Martial Continent now?"
"Yes."
Yuj Lin thought for a moment and said: "The Dragon Martial Continent is no longer as it was. With the arrival of the Extraterritorial Demons, calamity looms, life is devastated, and countless forces have been destroyed as a result."
"However, the former peak forces still exist, led by the Top Ten Super Sects, followed by the Thirteen Families, Nine Heavens Tower, Dragon Martial Trading House, and many other secondary forces, then some First-Class Sects, Second-Rate Sects… and down to Ninth-Rate Sects."
Luoyang and others listened quietly to Yuj Lin's words.
Yuj Lin continued: "Among the Top Ten Super Sects, without a doubt, One Slash Palace leads. Although it was the last to be established among the Top Ten Super Sects, and it became a super sect in the shortest time, its strength is formidable and absolutely cannot be underestimated."
"Legend has it that One Slash Palace possesses the Divine Blade of Water and Moon, claimed to have descended from beyond the heavens, and it remains embedded within the sect's residence, quite astonishing."
"Focus on the important parts."
Ancestor Bodhi frowned and said: "We are already aware of the sect divisions. Tell us, who are the strong individuals on the Dragon Martial Continent, or who should we be most aware of?"
Yuj Lin paused, then quickly continued: "If you ask who to be most mindful of, it must undoubtedly be Su Baliu."
"Su Baliu?" Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Yes."
Yuj Lin nodded: "Su Baliu, originally named Su Han, earned the nickname 'Su Baliu' after single-handedly sweeping through an Eighth-Rank Sect."
"Why should we be cautious? Just because he swept through an Eighth-Rank Sect?" someone scoffed.
"No..."
Yuj Lin chuckled bitterly and shook his head: "Sweeping an Eighth-Rank Sect happened a long time ago. The reason to be cautious of him is because he is extremely ruthless and retaliatory, and most importantly… his talent is frighteningly high. In less than twenty years, he rose from the lowest tier of the Dragon Martial Continent to a peak expert, and moreover…"
"Moreover, he somehow amassed many methods and resources, and within just over a decade, transformed a small sect of about fifty people, considered insignificant, into the strongest power below the Top Ten Super Sects. And with continued development, it might even rival a super sect soon.
At this point, Yuj Lin paused, showing admiration on his face.
"Is it just those points?"
A young man in front of Luoyang scoffed: "Natives from a mere abandoned planet, even with strong talent, can only be so strong. I can tell you, it's not because his talent is strong, but because the cultivation rank on the Dragon Martial Continent is too low. Understand? If it were me, I could achieve the same, even better than him, get it?"
Yuj Lin secretly frowned but ultimately did not respond.
He was very dissatisfied with the young man's words because he was from the Dragon Martial Continent, born and raised, with deep affection for it. How could he be pleased with someone's slander against Dragon Martial Continent?
But what could he do? These people before him were not ones he could afford to offend.
"Silence!"
At this moment, Luoyang frowned and glared at the young man: "None of you have yet entered the Spirit Realm. If we speak of cultivation base, even the strongest among you is only comparable to Dragon Martial Continent's peak experts. What right do you have to mock Dragon Martial Continent?"
Upon hearing this, the young man immediately fell silent, though his expression remained disdainful.
"You must be cautious during this training. Our sect has told you not to be careless. No matter the cultivation rank, if they're an enemy, you must go all out. But if they haven't provoked you, it's best not to provoke them either. There is always someone stronger. Do you understand?" Luoyang reprimanded again.
