Chapter 1108: Shocking the Starry River (1/2)

In the Void Spirit Hall.

Numerous glowing spatial rifts interwove in midair in the middle of the spacious hall.

A large bronze mirror was floating among them, with each and every spatial rift connecting to its back, as if they were a whole.

The scenery within the mirror changed from time to time, revealing different areas of the starry river across the human world.

Scenes of the Domain of Heaven Python and the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries flashed across the mirror among other domains.

It was as if the mirror was monitoring every single human realm and every corner of the starry river.

It saw all.

WHOOSH!

Ji Yuanquan, a vice sectmaster of the Void Spirit Society, appeared out of thin air in the middle of the great hall.

Looking at the bronze mirror, he said in a soft, revering voice, “The Void Mirror...”

WHOOSH!

A blurry figure gradually surfaced in the Void Mirror, as if it were traveling between different dimensions, and separated from Ji Yuanquan by endless space.

Ji Yuanquan bowed respectfully. “Sectmaster.”

“What is it?” A warm, pleasant voice echoed out from within the Void Mirror. Qu Yi, the sectmaster of the Void Mirror, revealed himself and looked at Ji Yuanquan from within the mirror.

“Mo Heng from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace broke through into the middle God domain.” Ji Yuanquan reported the latest news to Qu Yi in detail. “He marched into the Dead Star Sea and killed three Demon grand patriarchs and wounded Grand Monarch Bloodlust. Now, he has challenged Grand Monarch Primal Demon to a duel.”

Qu Yi’s soul shadow in the Void Mirror remained blurry, which made it hard to get a clear view of his appearance.

However, as soon as Ji Yuanquan said these words, his soul shadow shuddered.

Only after a while did he ask, “Why is Mo Heng so eager to fight?”

After a moment of pondering, Ji Yuanquan answered, “I suppose that’s because the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s reputation has suffered from recent events. Different voices came from many of their subordinate realms. And they were slighted by members of the other great sects on different occasions...”

He went on and explained the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s awkward situation, including the fact that Hong Minghui had secretly reached out to the domains Mou Luo had left behind.

After hearing his words, Qu Yi let out a cold harrumph. “That was a stupid thing to do. Was it his decision or his father’s?”

“Both, I’m guessing,” Ji Yuanquan said.

“Did he get your permission first, or did he act on his own?” Qu Yi asked.

“I haven’t been in charge of sect affairs lately,” Ji Yuanquan answered. “I didn’t know about it until it happened.”

Qu Yi snorted. “So it was Xuan Guangyu then.”

Ji Yuanquan fell silent.

“Ji Cang, the sectmaster of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, is only out of touch for the time being,” Qu Yi muttered to himself. “Who’s to say that he’s perished in the depths of the starry river? He’s the strongest human cultivator alive. Even I can’t match his battle prowess. As long as he’s alive, the status of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace won’t change. Why would people listen to rumors and believe that he’s dead?

“They must not know how difficult it is to kill a man like him. Even if I saw his cold body with my own eyes, I would suspect that he would have his unique ways to come back to life, not to mention that I haven’t.”

Ji Yuanquan looked down and listened as Qu Yi went on.

“About Mo Heng...” Qu Yi continued. “Grand Monarch Primal Demon only consumed a significant amount of power in that battle against me, but he didn’t sustain any injuries. Mo Heng has only broken through into the middle God domain recently. It doesn’t surprise me that he was able to defeat Grand Monarch Bloodlust. But it’s a crazy, rash thing for him to challenge Grand Monarch Primal Demon now.”

Clearly, he didn’t think Mo Heng would win a duel against Grand Monarch Primal Demon.

“There’s another thing,” Ji Yuanquan added. “Mo Heng also demanded that the Demons pick any eighth grade Demon they’d like to fight a duel against Nie Tian, the seventh Son of the Stars, as a prelude to his duel against Grand Monarch Primal Demon. The bet he placed on Nie Tian was that dark stone they recently looted from the Demon realms.”

A surprised look appeared on Qu Yi’s face as he asked, “What’s the seventh Son of the Stars’ cultivation base?”

“The early Soul realm,” Ji Yuanquan answered.
