235. Chapter 232: The Engagement Grand Ceremony

Ding Huan naturally would not go out; he had only just condensed six star mountains, still a ways off from the Star realm.

With the starry spiritual vein Hong Tiao provided, he believed he could complete the Star Accumulation in the shortest possible time.

Once he broke through Star Accumulation and advanced to the Star realm, whether the Yanyue Sect or the Twin Soul Sect came looking for him or not, he would go find them in return.

He was absolutely determined to wipe out the Twin Soul Sect; as for the Yanyue Sect, it depended on their compensation—if the compensation fell short, he would wipe them out just the same.

He did not really believe these two sects had any Void God realm cultivators.

Even if they did, at most it would only be early-stage Void God.

When he arrived at the sect's main hall, everyone was already waiting for him.

Old Six, who had just broken through to Nebula and killed several Foundation Establishment cultivators, no longer looked listless and wilted as before.

Instead, he was so smug he even seemed to look past Liu Yinzhu standing to one side.

Only upon seeing Ding Huan come in did he hurriedly sit up straight.

"Sect Master." The moment Ding Huan entered, everyone rose to greet him.

This was the second time everyone had acknowledged Ding Huan.

The first was when everyone successfully switched to cultivating the Little Universe Art; this time, actual combat had shown them that the Little Universe Art killing opponents of the same realm was nothing remarkable.

After gesturing for everyone to sit, Ding Huan said:

"This time three sects invaded our Blue Star Sect, and we killed them all. However, this is only the beginning; I believe they will not let it rest. Of course, neither will we.

So from now on, everyone must still focus on cultivation—raising one's own strength is the way.

Besides raising strength, the sect is about to enter its proper track. Today I will assign each of you the matters you will be responsible for."

Hearing Ding Huan's words, even Sang Yuhe felt a ripple in her heart.

After experiencing a battle, she was very clear that as long as Blue Star Sect weathered the next wave of attacks, its rise in the Dao Cultivation world—even across the Triple Heaven Star Land—was only a matter of time.

As one of the only two original True Pill realm cultivators in the sect, although she had switched to a new cultivation method, re-entering the True Pill realm would not take much time.

She was also a participant in founding the sect; if she could obtain a good position, it would only benefit her future cultivation.

Even Sang Yuhe was looking forward to her future position; the rest were even more so.

After all, they could all be considered elders of the founding of the sect.

Ding Huan's voice rang out:

"Because we are now Blue Star Sect, all the major peaks need to be renamed. From now on, the Zixi Peak where I cultivate will be named Blue Star Peak.

The remaining peaks will be named by the elders and deacons who take up residence on them; the name only needs to contain the character 'star'……

From now on, Liu Yinzhu will serve as the Enforcement Elder of Blue Star Sect, and at the same time Liu Yinzhu will serve as Vice Sect Master, and will appoint the various department deacons from among the disciples in the great hall, and hold one of the sect's main array banners.

Sang Yuhe will serve as External Affairs Elder, and at the same time Sang Yuhe will concurrently serve as President of the soon-to-be-established Commerce Guild, and hold one of the sect's great array auxiliary banners.

Qin Qingshan will serve as Internal Affairs Elder; Yan Mei will serve as Transmission Elder; Mo Huaping will serve as Scripture Pavilion Elder; Shen Jiankai will serve as Mission Hall Elder……"

After this round of announcements from Ding Huan, every cultivator who had participated in founding Blue Star Sect would receive a position.

Right now Blue Star Sect has few disciples, but soon Blue Star Sect will begin recruiting new disciples.

……

After Ding Huan left the sect's great hall, Liu Yinzhu continued the assembly, mainly to have Liu Yinzhu assign the specific duties of the various elders and disciples, and to appoint the various department deacons.

Ding Huan, meanwhile, upgraded the sect's protective array once more; the entire Blue Star Sect's protective array and killing array were all upgraded to Grade Six.

After the protective array upgrade was complete, Ding Huan began laying down trapping arrays, killing arrays, and poison arrays outside Blue Star Sect.

He was certain this matter was not over.

As long as people from the Yanyue Sect and the Twin Soul Sect dared to come to Blue Star Sect again, even if they did not enter the sect, Ding Huan would make those fellows pay dearly before they left.

Unless those sects that had laid hands on Blue Star Sect were made to truly hurt, those fellows would never learn why flowers bloom so red.

After laying down all the arrays, Ding Huan hesitated but still did not go to Zi Yuan is critical Mountain.

This place would be Blue Star Sect's future strategic stronghold; its status should be second only to Hidden Jianshan.

His strength was still insufficient now; once he advanced to the Star realm, he would make those sects and forces that had once swallowed things down disgorge them all back with interest.

As for the Jiuyinmen, Ding Huan had classified it together with the Twin Soul Sect—it needed to be wiped out.

After all the arrays were laid, Ding Huan returned to Blue Star Peak to continue cultivating.

This time each elder and deacon had their own peak, although they all knew that cultivating near the Sect Master would yield faster progress in strength.

Still, without rules there can be no order, so everyone returned to their respective peaks to cultivate.

Old Six was Ding Huan's beast pet, so he had the chance to stay on Blue Star Peak.

Ding Huan tossed the Sharp-Mouthed Tiger to Old Six, letting Old Six train the Sharp-Mouthed Tiger.

Though Old Six was not entirely willing in his heart, he did not dare disobey Ding Huan's order, and could only pull out a cultivation method from his own technique library to hand to the Sharp-Mouthed Tiger.

If one were to ask whose demon-cultivation method was the strongest in the Triple Heaven Star Land, apart from Old Six, one really could not find a second.

To cultivate on Blue Star Peak, that starry spiritual vein certainly had to be implanted. This starry spiritual vein, Ding Huan was only implanting it temporarily.

Once his Star Accumulation was complete, he would inevitably need to head to Hidden Jianshan to comprehend the Star realm, and this starry spiritual vein he would still need to bring to Hidden Jianshan.

The Star realm could be said to be the most important stage in the initial cultivation of the Great Universe Art; having a starry spiritual vein versus not having one was an entirely different concept.

Blue Star Peak's spiritual energy was already the most concentrated spot in all of Blue Star Sect.

Now that Ding Huan had implanted another starry spiritual vein, the concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy on Blue Star Peak was no less than that of some sects in the Ascending Realm.

In order to speed up the advancement of his cultivation, Ding Huan had truly gone all out.

Circulating the Great Universe Art once more, Ding Huan clearly felt his cultivation speed rise by an entire tier.

For a cultivator like him who had self-created his cultivation method, the speed of cultivation was no longer something that could be decided by the abundance of spiritual energy alone.

More important factors were the Dao's resonance with spiritual energy, with the cultivation site, and with the rules of heaven and earth.

The starry spiritual vein was undoubtedly the spiritual source most suited to Ding Huan's Great Universe Art.

This time it took only a month before Ding Huan had condensed seven Star Mountains.

After that, Ding Huan could condense one Star Mountain almost every month.

What surprised Ding Huan was that he had been cultivating for nearly half a year, yet the retaliation from the Shuanghun Sect and the Yanyue Sect had still not arrived — that wasn't scientific.

Scientific or not, Ding Huan was preparing to leave the Lanxing Sect for a trip.

The place he was going to was Hidden Jianshan; it had been a year and a half since he last left Hidden Jianshan.

The first thing on this trip to Hidden Jianshan was to charge into the Star Realm, and the second was to claim Hidden Jianshan for himself and set up a protective formation.

Once he advanced to the Star Realm, the first thing he had to do was destroy the Shuanghun Sect, the second was to destroy the Jiuyin Sect, and the third was to destroy… well, whether the Yanyue Sect should be destroyed, he'd decide when the time came.

Fortunately, the major sects of the Dao Cultivation World didn't know that the task Ding Huan had set for himself was specifically to wipe out sects — if they knew, they might join forces and wipe out the Lanxing Sect first.

……

What Ding Huan didn't know was that after he killed Yanyue Sect Master Yi Wandao and Shuanghun Sect Master Tan Yanxiao.

The Alliance Leader of the Dao Cultivation World Sect Alliance, Hu Wuxin, and the Managing Alliance Leader Xin Can, as luck would have it, had gone to the Ascension World again.

This caused the usual practice of the Dao Cultivation World Sect Alliance to not be carried out — one must know that previously, such a major incident as two great sect alliance leaders being killed would absolutely require convening a Dao Cultivation World Sect Alliance conference.

Now both great alliance leaders were absent; even if they wanted to convene a conference, they'd have to wait for Alliance Leader Hu and Alliance Leader Xin to return.

With the Alliance Leader of the Dao Cultivation World Sect Alliance absent, the complaint letters from the Yanyue Sect and the Shuanghun Sect had already arrived at the Sect Alliance.

Not only complaint letters, but elders of the two great sects had personally come to the Dao Cultivation World Sect Alliance to lodge complaints, requesting that the Dao Cultivation World Sect Alliance step forward and cut this cancerous tumor, the Lanxing Sect — which had not been recognized by the Sect Alliance — out of the Dao Cultivation World.

Although both the Yanyue Sect and the Shuanghun Sect had gone to the Dao Cultivation World Sect Alliance to lodge complaints, these two great sects themselves had likewise taken no action.

Because at this moment, whether it was the Yanyue Sect or the Shuanghun Sect, internally everything was in complete chaos.

The Sect Master was gone — so who would be the next Sect Master?

Naturally, there had to be a struggle over it.

With internal strife in the sect and no new Sect Master yet chosen, they had no energy to go cause trouble for the Lanxing Sect — which also gave Ding Huan the chance to cultivate quietly.

When Ding Huan had condensed twelve Star Mountains, he already knew that staying at the Lanxing Sect to advance to the Star Realm would be very difficult.

So he decided to head to Hidden Jianshan.

This time Ding Huan also brought along that pot he couldn't refine — if he advanced to the Star Realm, he would refine this pot at Hidden Jianshan.

He refused to believe that after advancing to the Star Realm, he still wouldn't be able to refine a pot.

While Ding Huan was heading to Hidden Jianshan, the Huangshen Sect — which claimed to be the number one sect of the Ascension World — was holding a grand engagement ceremony.

This engagement ceremony had not only invited nearly all the sects of the Ascension World, but had even invited some sects from the Dao Cultivation World.

Hu Wuxin had come precisely to attend this engagement ceremony.

The side holding the wedding was the personal disciple of the new Huangshen Sect Master Qiao Sha — Yi Yi Jiang; the other side was Han Xiaonü, disciple of the Luoshén Palace Palace Master.

This Han Xiaonü was one of the three great beauties of the Ascension World; coupled with the fact that she cultivated the Luoshén Palace's techniques, her looks were like a true immortal.

Sitting in the guest seats, Hu Wuxin wore a faint smile, his eyes carrying joy.

The Xin Can beside him was different — he hadn't even considered that this was Yi Yi Jiang's engagement ceremony at all, and instead whispered by Hu Wuxin's ear:

"Alliance Leader, have you noticed that the guests the Huangshen Sect invited from the Dao Cultivation World this time all share one characteristic?"

"What characteristic?" Hu Wuxin seemed to have noticed nothing at all.

Xin Can said in a grave tone:

"They're all Void God Realm. I've discovered that nearly eighty percent or more of the Void God Realm cultivators in our Dao Cultivation World have all been invited — something's off about this."

Hu Wuxin still smiled and said:

"Our little bit of cultivation means nothing to the seniors of the Ascension World. We just need to follow their instructions and handle matters — we don't need to consider anything else."

Xin Can was slightly stunned, then immediately fell silent.

Did he still not understand Hu Wuxin? Saying things like "we just follow others' instructions and handle matters, we don't need to consider anything else" — fooling a ghost, perhaps?

It showed the Alliance Leader had long since noticed the problem within — since that was the case, why should he worry needlessly?
