Capítulo 974: Chapter 34: Official Debut (Part 2)
For a moment, the Storm Saint looked towards Dong Yu with a touch of envy.
The Yuan Family Ancestor felt the same.
They wanted to ask if it was too late to join the Lifeless Sect.
But ultimately, they held back.
Everyone in the Lifeless Sect was a cultivator, and they gathered their things quickly, so it didn’t take long for them to assemble.
Seeing this, Dong Yu looked at the Storm Saint and the Yuan Family Ancestor and said, “Senior, we should be leaving soon. Farewell for now.”
With that, he prayed to the Lifeless True Saint.
Before the Storm Saint and the Yuan Family Ancestor could react, a beam of light appeared from the void, and with a flash, the Lifeless Sect cultists who chose to leave disappeared instantly.
The Storm Saint and the Yuan Family Ancestor were completely caught off guard.
After a while, the Storm Saint said with melancholy, “We apologized so cautiously, but in reality, they didn’t regard us at all. Is this what it’s like to have the backing of a Saint Emperor…”
“These people are about to soar high…”
The saying ‘it’s good to have a strong backing’ was perfectly exemplified by the Lifeless Sect.
Meanwhile, Dong Yu and the other cultists of the Lifeless Sect only felt a moment of dizziness before finding themselves in another place.
Immediately, they saw the one they prayed to daily.
Without hesitation, they shouted loudly, “Greetings, True Saint!”
“No need for formalities, I summoned you for a purpose, which you should already know, correct?”
Dong Yu immediately responded, “We know it, True Saint.”
Wang Sheng nodded and then pointed to two people behind him, introducing them:
“This person is named Xia Yang, the Hierarch of the Lifeless Sect; part of your teachings were established by him. This person is named Li Yunian, who once governed several worlds.
In the future, Xia Yang will guide you in the construction and true duties of the Lifeless Sect, while Li Yunian will teach you how to manage worlds. You need to learn from them for a while.”
Xia Yang, naturally the Hierarch of the Lifeless Sect on Source Star, stepped forward with a gentle face, wearing the sect’s robes: “Everyone, I am Xia Yang, a believer of the True Saint, and I look forward to our cooperation.”
Li Yunian also stepped forward and said, “I am Li Yunian, and I hope we can get along well.”
Li Yunian, a descendant from the Qingshan Holy Land and a descendant of Li Yongfeng, had served in Datong, possessing great ability. This time, Wang Sheng specially summoned him.
Dong Yu dared not be neglectful and immediately replied, “I will trouble you both for your guidance.”
After getting acquainted with each other, Wang Sheng continued, “I’ll leave the rest to you now. Go, and take control of Xuan Guang Star as soon as possible.”
“Yes, True Saint,” the three replied in unison.
Wang Sheng nodded, sending everyone off. Whether it was Xia Yang or Li Yunian, he was very assured, confident that there would be no problems.
Originally, he intended to bring more people, but there was always a personnel shortage on Source Star.
Finally, he thought that the Old Land Starry Sky still needed to cultivate some talents.
Otherwise, Datong might not hold.
Therefore, he summoned Xia Yang and Li Yunian from Source Star.
Now, the influence of the Lifeless True Saint was truly entering the Old Land Starry Sky.
Having resolved matters here, Wang Sheng went to another space.
This space was brimming with life energy, where the Life Saint Emperor was recuperating and healing.
Noticing Wang Sheng’s arrival, the Life Saint Emperor immediately opened her eyes and said respectfully, “Greetings, Lifeless True Saint, thank you for saving my life.”
“No need to thank me. You must know that I saved you not without reason, but because I want you to work for me. What do you think?” Wang Sheng knew the Life Saint Emperor must have some guesses, so he straightforwardly expressed his intent.
The Life Saint Emperor had her suspicions, but hearing it out loud made her feel more at ease.
If Wang Sheng had said nothing, she would have truly been anxious.
Faced with Wang Sheng’s request, the Life Saint Emperor did not hesitate: “The True Saint has slain the villainous Xuan Guang Saint Emperor who devoured countless beings and is my savior. Naturally, I am willing.”
With that, she bowed respectfully.
Receiving the answer he wanted, Wang Sheng showed a satisfied smile, “Good, you have made the right choice.”
“It is my honor, True Saint,” said the Life Saint Emperor upon deciding to join, swiftly adapting, and then inquiring, “May I ask what you need me to do?”
She knew well that even appreciation was not granted without reason.
The True Saint must have a purpose in recruiting her.
“For now, there’s nothing you need to do. Focus first on completely healing your injuries, then cultivate the rules you’ve comprehended. The more you understand, the better. If you reach a certain level, a great opportunity will await you.”
Initially, it was because he appreciated the Life Saint Emperor that Wang Sheng paid attention to her, and then because of her way of life.
The path of life was not a simple journey.
Coincidentally, in the cycle system, the path of life was also very important.
Birth and death alternate, which is the essence of the cycle.
Originally, he hadn’t thought about looking for Underworld personnel, but now, the Life Saint Emperor might be a good candidate.
If the Life Saint Emperor ultimately met his requirements in understanding the way of life, she would have a place in the Underworld.
Even he himself felt that through establishing completion, an immense opportunity awaited, which naturally needed no further mention to the Life Saint Emperor.
The Life Saint Emperor couldn’t fully grasp Wang Sheng’s ambiguous words, but the phrase “immense opportunity” deeply resonated with her.
At her realm, what could still be termed a tremendous opportunity?
The Life Saint Emperor sensed intuitively that she absolutely must not miss this, which would be her chance to change her fate.
Her heart suddenly filled with anticipation.
Thus, she became even more respectful: “True Saint, I will definitely meet your requirements.”
Wang Sheng didn’t comment: “I hope so.”
If the Life Saint Emperor failed to meet his requirements, it would be a troublesome matter for him.
“From now on, you can continue your cultivation here or leave and act freely.”
With those words, he departed directly.
Seeing Wang Sheng disappear, the Life Saint Emperor’s eyes became gradually resolute.
“The way of life… who would’ve thought the path unintentionally comprehended would bring me such a great opportunity…”
The way of life had sustained her until the Lifeless True Saint came to the rescue.
Even if the True Saint didn’t command it, she would have continued her cultivation.
…
After handling the matters of Xuan Guang Star and the Life Saint Emperor, Wang Sheng passed on the method to counter the Life Extending Technique to Fei Luan and the others for dissemination.
Then, he resumed seclusion.
However, he continued to pay attention to the situation in the Old Land Starry Sky since, according to Long Yue, besides Xuan Guang, Ling Fei, and Zheng Yang, there were other Saint Emperors secretly devouring beings.
Having just delivered a warning with Long Yue, it was naturally necessary to stay vigilant.
But before any news of the Saint Emperors arrived, another piece of bad news reached his ears.
The Life Extending Technique, just as Long Yue mentioned, had already spread among cultivators below the Saint Emperor level.
According to investigations, even some cultivators of the Sixth Realm were aware of it.
The Evil Technique had completely spread.
In various worlds and planets, cultivators were using this method to extend their lifespan.
Wang Sheng and Feixian Star’s warnings seemed to have little effect.
However, Wang Sheng was not very surprised.
“For cultivators whose lifespan is nearing its end, they don’t care. After all, they’re already dying; what threat would concern them? Moreover, they know they might not even be held accountable, given the sheer numbers involved…”
If one is already dying, why care about anything else?
Of course, it’s not entirely futile.
If not for his and Long Yue’s warning, the situation would have been even more dire.
“Issue a task for the Main God Space…”
Soon, all squads in the Main God Space received a long-term mission.
[Eliminate those who devour beings to extend their lifespan; any realm is acceptable, with different points awarded based on the realm of the kill.]
Meanwhile, Feixian Star also devised a countermeasure.
Feixian Star, in order to collect the bounties of World Origin, seemed not to expand but had actually a vast sphere of influence.
In an instant, cultivators devouring beings across various worlds were accounted for.
Of course, the starry sky was vast, and to achieve effectiveness, it would still take some time to exert a deterrent effect.
Both Wang Sheng and Long Yue had enough patience…
