Chapter 916 - The Fallen Star Boat Arrives! (2/2)

The young man sighed privately in relief when he heard the sect lord’s reply. He didn’t care about anything else. He didn’t even care if the Heavenly Spirit Sect was wiped out. The only thing he cared about was a placement for the Graveyard of Stars. Despite his status in the Violet Gold civilization, he had to fight hard for this opportunity. It was going to determine his future.

After getting his answer, he remained silent. He then looked around and began studying the Divine Eye civilization. He didn’t think much of this place, which looked impoverished in his eyes. If not for the fact that the Fallen Star mark could only be transferred in the Divine Eye civilization, he believed that he would never have stepped foot in this civilization.

As he scoffed privately in disdain, the sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect gave Daoist Lin Hai a full account of what had taken place in the civilization. The latter listened to the full account and then nodded slightly. There was an unfathomable look in his eyes when he turned away and gazed at the Eye of the Eternal Star.

“Does he have any friends or family here? If he doesn’t, we can simply kill him. When this entire fiasco is over, I’ll refine the Eye of the Eternal Star and crush him.”

“Long Nanzi doesn’t seem to have family in the Divine Eye civilization. He has a few friends, but most of them belong to the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect… There’s one thing, though. If we kill this man, the Xie family…” The sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect turned towards Daoist Lin Hai after a moment of hesitation. This was a question he had to ask. It was what a subordinate was meant to do. He had to give his superior a chance to show their wisdom.

“The Xie family’s particular about following the rules. They can’t do anything to us if we are careful and don’t reveal any weaknesses. That right-hand elder of yours was a fool. He deserved to die. Besides… the one who got involved in his death is only a young member of the Xie family. Xie Haiyang’s father has gotten himself into trouble with a powerful man, and his son is running around trying to find someone who knows that man. He doesn’t have time for a lowly little Spirit Immortal realm cultivator,” Daoist Lin Hai said coolly before turning his head towards the young man standing next to him.

“Xing Ling, prepare yourself during this period. The Fallen Star Boat will make its way here soon.”

The young man, Xing Ling, answered immediately in the affirmative and with great deference. The sect lord of the Heavenly Spirit Sect led Daoist Lin Hai to his sect’s camp. The latter stationed himself at the camp, releasing his cultivation and suppressing the Eye of the Eternal Star that Wang Baole was on instantly. The Eternal Star’s radiance faded considerably, and Wang Baole was instantly on his guard.

Time passed steadily. During that time, Wang Baole dared not attempt surveillance on the Heavenly Spirit Sect again. Regardless, he did catch the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s patriarch entering the camp, though he didn’t see the latter leave. He must have been summoned by the Eternal Star realm cultivator and had remained in the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s camp after that.

Tension began to rise across the entire Divine Eye civilization after the arrival of the Eternal Star realm cultivator. The general populace was unused to his arrival and seized by fear. As for Wang Baole, he didn’t escape unscathed. He knew that the Eternal Star realm cultivator had released his cultivation intentionally. His aim was to intimidate, wanting Wang Baole to think twice before acting.

He doesn’t know what I have as my trump card, though! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes as he eyed the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s camp, which was stationed in the distance. He was feeling considerable stress at the moment, but after some analysis, he concluded that his plan was a feasible one.

I don’t believe that he can board the boat as well!

As long as he can’t board the board and I can, he can’t do anything to me even if I kill the prodigy of his civilization and steal the seal right before his eyes! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. This was a risky venture, but nothing could be gained in this life without taking on some risk.

My true form is in the coffin, and this old man shouldn’t be able to find it. The coffin isn’t any ordinary coffin, after all. This means that even if I lose the fight, I’ll only be short an avatar! Determination appeared in Wang Baole’s eyes after a moment of contemplation. He had made up his mind. He was going to go ahead with his plan and snatch the tiger’s prey straight from its maw!

Another two weeks passed… In that time, the Violet Gold civilization, the Divine Eye civilization, and Wang Baole had prepared themselves fully. Now, they waited only for entry to the Graveyard of Stars to be activated. Beyond the Divine Eye civilization, the spirit boat that Wang Baole had bumped into… had entered the Divine Eye civilization silently!

It didn’t advance further into the civilization and was instead hovering at its borders. The number of prodigies on the boat had increased from the initial three dozen or so to include another dozen. There were now almost fifty passengers on board the boat. The paper ferryman looked up as the boat stopped in the cosmos. It gazed into the direction of the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s camp, raised its right hand, and began gesturing slowly in the same direction. The sound of weeping, a summoning call, began to fill the cosmos…

There were no words, only the sound of weeping in the summoning reverberating across the cosmos. In fact, not everyone could hear this call. The Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s patriarch, who possessed the royal family bloodline, could, and Daoist Lin Hai could. The Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sect lord and everyone else didn’t sense the call at all.

Wang Baole had boarded the boat before. That might be why he was now the third person in the Divine Eye civilization to hear the summoning. With a boost from the Eye of the Eternal Star, he sent his Divine Will sweeping across the cosmos and saw the paper human cutout on the spirit boat!

It’s here! Wang Baole perked up!
