Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill - Chapter 1024 - 56: Star Beast Ancestor’s Allegiance (Part 2)
Chapter 1024: Chapter 56: Star Beast Ancestor’s Allegiance (Part 2)
Since choosing to follow, the Star Beast Ancestor did not plan to hide anything.
Wang Sheng felt a little helpless.
Relying solely on intuition to choose allegiance, how confident is the Star Beast Ancestor in their own feelings?
Even though he himself has the Fate Skill, he dared not trust his feelings so easily.
However, he was extremely interested in the Star Beast Ancestor’s offer to help him.
So he said, “Daoist Xing Hou, are you sure you want to follow? You must know that once the choice is made, there’s no opportunity to disembark.”
The consequences of betrayal are not something the Star Beast Ancestor can bear.
The Star Beast Ancestor did not hesitate, a rarely serious tone in their normally cute voice, saying, “Since choosing to follow, even if shattered and crushed, I will not leave. Daoist Wu Sheng, this is our Star Beast Clan’s gamble, and our commitment to you.”
It seemed based purely on intuition, but only the Star Beast Ancestor knew how much determination was involved.
Since the decision to inform was made, there was no retreat left for themselves.
Wang Sheng looked at the Star Beast Ancestor, and finally, slowly nodded.
He could see that the Star Beast Ancestor was sincere.
There was no deception.
Because in front of him, the Star Beast Ancestor’s heart was completely unguarded.
This was also the first time he had heard the inner voice of a top-tier Saint Emperor.
This alone was enough to initially trust.
As for other matters, they would require time to test.
“Since Daoist Xing Hou has spoken thus, I naturally have no reason to refuse. However, I still have many questions and hope Daoist Xing Hou can answer them.”
“I’ll speak without reserve.”
Wang Sheng organized his thoughts and said, “The feeling Daoist Xing Hou speaks of, it should be the perception of the Dao, right?”
“Correct, you already know part of my unique True Saint ability. However, last time I didn’t fully disclose that our Star Beast Clan is naturally close to the Dao; I can especially sense changes in the Dao, and also receive guidance from the Starry Sky Dao. This search for a True Saint is precisely the guidance of the cosmos.”
After listening, Wang Sheng’s expression was somewhat complicated: “Your Star Beast Clan is truly blessed by heaven…”
Not only naturally close to the Dao, but also able to receive guidance.
It’s practically a favored treatment.
“We owe much gratitude to the mercy of the stars; last time, the inheritance of Xuan Yuan Palace was also an opportunity guided by the cosmos, as is this time.”
Wang Sheng helplessly shook his head; opportunities just landed on them.
There’s no choice but to concede.
Of course, he also surmised some things from the Star Beast Ancestor’s words.
From long ago, he felt that establishing a cycle could be greatly beneficial.
Now, it could be confirmed that this benefit likely comes from the stars.
It just remains unclear what kind of benefit it would be!
However, he became more curious about what abilities the Star Beast Clan had in order for the cosmos to deem them capable of aiding in the establishment of the cycle.
This was his second query.
“Daoist Xing Hou, could you speak of your abilities? Of course, not the abilities you’ve shown.”
The ability demonstrated by the Star Beast Ancestor was simple, merely physical strength.
This wouldn’t practically benefit the cycle framework.
It wouldn’t even count as an embellishment.
“Our Star Beast Ancestor’s abilities are strange and diverse, but there is a basic ability.” As he spoke, the Star Beast Ancestor glanced at Wang Sheng, “This ability is somewhat similar to your True Saint ability, related to space, which enables us to arrive near a Life Planet at any time without relying on cross-realm passages… Of course, that Life Planet must be a place we have visited and marked coordinates at.”
This ability has never been disclosed by the Star Beast Clan.
Because this ability poses too great a threat to various worlds.
The ability itself lacks any offensive power.
Being able to enter a planet at any time means they can threaten the strongholds of various factions at any time.
If this was exposed, even if the Star Beasts remained low-key and showed no aggression, they would face devastating blows.
Now that this has been disclosed, the Star Beast Ancestor felt somewhat relieved internally.
Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng immediately thought of one term.
Ghost Messenger!
In the cycle system, a Ghost Messenger is also a crucial link.
They can handle wandering souls, guiding them back to the Underworld.
This is an intermediary position.
Wang Sheng had been contemplating whether or not to establish the position of Ghost Messenger.
If established, it could certainly alleviate pressure on the Underworld, but there were no suitable candidates.
But now, the Star Beast Clan seemed like very suitable candidates.
Yet before he could say anything further.
The Star Beast Ancestor continued, “Our Star Beasts are born from the stars, thus we all have this ability. And as the first Star Beast, I have an additional special ability to discern all things through listening, especially adept at hearing the hearts of people… Simply put, it’s hard for anyone to hide anything from me, though it is ineffective against those at the same level…”
He slowly revealed his abilities.
And Wang Sheng was reminded of a Divine Beast from Underworld mythology.
Di Ting!
Through listening, it discerns all things, understands human nature.
Appearing in the “True and False Monkey King” tale, it is one of the most recognized references.
For the Underworld, to be honest, this ability has great utility.
With such an ability, the Underworld could met out the most accurate punishments for souls, sending them where they need to go.
Of course, even without the presence of Di Ting, it wouldn’t make a difference, just cause more trouble.
But since “Di Ting” has sought him out, he naturally wouldn’t miss this chance.
To have given and not accept would be a regret.
Whether it’s the Ghost Messenger or “Di Ting”, he wants both.
“Daoist Xing Hou, your abilities are certainly useful for me; however, they aren’t necessary at the moment. Daoist Xing Hou can wait a while, and there will come a time to put them to use… Of course, I must state that if you join, the Star Beast Clan may no longer enjoy its current freedom and will be subject to regulation.”
Joining the Underworld, once it operates, wouldn’t be so easy to extricate.
One must “clock in and work”.
It wouldn’t be as free as before.
The Star Beast Ancestor had long anticipated this, and directly stated, “It’s alright, the Star Beast Clan has long prepared, the guidance of the stars won’t lead us astray, and I also trust the True Saint.”
“You have confidence; then return and wait, try to gather all the Star Beasts.”
“Yes!” The Star Beast Ancestor nodded directly.
With Wang Sheng’s agreement, he also needed to start his preparations.
Thus, the Star Beast Ancestor departed as well.
After finishing the exchange with the Star Beast Ancestor, Wang Sheng’s consciousness returned to Yuntian Star.
“The Star Beast Ancestor received a reminder from the Starry Sky Rules; it seems there won’t be any issues establishing the cycle system… Nonetheless, experiments are still necessary, and I hope they run smoothly.”
The experiments on Yuntian Star had already gradually commenced.
If all goes well, it might be completed in a few months.
Meanwhile, upon receiving Wang Sheng’s orders, the Elders Council of Yuntian Star immediately summoned all the strongest protectors from various regions back.
Of course, as the strongest, most were of the Second Realm, and their personal safety was always at risk.
For this reason, many had rather peculiar tempers.
Of course, no one dared blatantly defy the orders of the Elders Council.
Within less than half a month, all the Guardians from various places had returned to Yuntian City.
“I wonder what madness the Elders Council caught, forcibly calling us back, don’t they want those territories?”
“Who knows, it’s said that many opposed it, but the Elders Council declared that not returning would be seen as treachery, who dares defy them!”
“Ha, I’ve heard that the Great Elder even said that even if the territories were lost, we must return; this time, the matter is probably not simple.”
“You don’t need to say… hopefully, it’s something that can break the impasse…”
“Perhaps it’s just the Elders Council losing their minds!”
No matter the mindset, all the Guardians returned successively, awaiting the day of the meeting.
During the waiting days, many Guardians were inquiring for information.
Unfortunately, the Elders Council disclosed nothing at all.
And on the day of the meeting, the words of the Great Elder left all the Guardians in shock.
“We have found a method to completely clear out the Evil Spirits…”
