Chapter 667: Chapter 667 – Time Passed, and the Star Alliance Appeared
The people from the Hao Hua Sect left vigilantly, taking Chen Heng with them. They were afraid that they would attract outsiders’ attention, raising suspicion.
They were right to be cautious. A strange phenomenon appeared after the people from the Hao Hua Sectleft. A pair of gloomy and cold eyes, the same as the black shadow that appeared on the spot.
Just as the people of the Hao Hua Sect thought, the black hand from before wasn’t too far away. He remained on the spot and secretly observed their moves. Then, he appeared from the void, looking in the direction where Chen Heng and the others had left. His eyes flickered with unconcealed killing intent and gloominess.
Waves of Dao rhyme emerged from his eyes. There seemed to be endless changes happening, giving people a feeling that everything was derived from Dao and that there were endless changes. Merely a wave of aura could crush a mountain peak and shake the nine heavens if exposed.
However, he looked in the direction where Chen Heng and the others had left and ultimately did not make a move. The aura in this place had completely stopped. The black shadow hovered around and waited for a long time, but in the end, it decided to give up and did not make a move.
In the distance, when the black shadow hovered around and finally left, Chen Heng, who had been in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
“Luckily, you’re cautious.” He was in a carriage and was taken away by the other elders.
His expression was cold, and his words were filled with regret feeling the aura in the distance. His injuries were naturally fake, but his intention was no other than to trick the black hand into coming out to fight him once again.
Meanwhile, the black hand was hiding in the dark with a purpose. Moreover, based on how he attacked Chen Heng, he was likely to be entangled with Chen Heng later. Therefore, for such a person, it would be best if he could be killed in one go, not leaving any trouble behind.
Unfortunately, he seemed to have been hiding for too long, being too cautious. Therefore, even if Chen Heng deliberately exposed his weakness, Chen Heng was still not able to trick him.
In that instant, if he had attacked without hesitation, Chen Heng would not have hesitated and immediately erupted and killed him on the spot. He didn’t believe his opponent had a second immortal God’s secret treasure.
Unfortunately, his opponent didn’t fall for it. As a result, things didn’t go as Chen Heng had expected. It was such a pity.
“Forget it.” Chen Heng raised his head and looked forward. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he closed his eyes again.
…
After some time, the news that the Hao Hua Sect Leader, Yue Hua, had successfully broken through to become a supreme Heavenly Venerate was quickly spread throughout the cultivation world. But, of course, other cultivators have already made certain psychological preparations.
The previous great tribulation was so vast that all cultivators could feel it. When Chen Heng was transcending the tribulation, all the cultivators above the Nascent Transformation Stage could feel his power, so they prepared in advance.
However, even so, the entire cultivation world was in a state of celebration. The supreme Heavenly Venerate was not seen for tens of thousands of years since ancient times. Yet, another supreme Heavenly Venerate appeared in the cultivation world at the moment. Some people saw it as a sign of the golden cultivation era.
Many people went to the Hao Hua Sect, wanting to join and approach the supreme Heavenly Venerate. Not only ordinary cultivators but also many old monsters who had been sealed in the past, and some Heavenly Venerate who had been in seclusion since ancient times, also appeared and joined the Hao Hua Sect.
At their level, they naturally wanted to go one step further. Therefore, even if a supreme Heavenly Venerate did not deliberately explain the Dao Principle to them, even with only the Dao aura circulating in his body, it could probably give them a lot of insights and enlighten them in the direction of advancement.
The power of the Hao Hua Sect rapidly expanded with the support of these cultivators, and it was already vaguely known as the number one holy land in the world. In response to this, the Hao Hua Sect was all geared up, sharpening their knives as they looked at the other holy lands.
The entire cultivation world believed that the Hao Hua Sect would make a move after their power grew, and a great war in the cultivation was unavoidable. Many cultivators in the Hao Hua Sect also thought so and had long been prepared.
However, what surprised everyone was that the Hao Hua Sect still did not make any move even after several decades but had been quietly cultivating instead. This could not help but make people puzzled and feel strange.
Since ancient times, the rise of any force had always started with the end of another force. However, with the Hao Hua Sect’s current size, it would inevitably ask for more resources and spiritual veins. And these were all in the hands of the other holy lands. Therefore, the Hao Hua Sect would be unable to seize them if the sect didn’t start a war.
The people in the surroundings were puzzled and didn’t understand why. Only those people from before understood that the Hao Hua Sect reacted as such was probably because of the Hao Hua Sect Leader’s order.
Even though that black hand had only appeared in a hurry, it had left a deep impression on the people. Who could ignore a Sky Heavenly Weapon like the heaven-cleaving sword? An Earth Heavenly Weapon was comparable to a Heavenly Venerate. A complete Sky Heavenly Weapon would be sufficient to suppress a supreme Heavenly Venerate, although it was not fully recovered.
As for the combination of a supreme Heavenly Venerate and a Sky Heavenly Weapon, only the Hao Hua Sect Leader could rival it in this world. No one else could. It was probably because the Hao Hua Sect Leader was worried about that black hand back then and therefore did not wantonly attack the other holy lands.
After all, it was the time to unite all forces in the current situation. If he wantonly attacked the other holy lands, it was not conducive to its future alliance with others. Of course, although the Hao Hua Sect did not attack the other holy lands for the time being, it did not mean that there were no other actions.
During these decades, with Chen Heng’s support, the entire Hao Hua Sect went to the outer region to explore and open up a cave abode as a spiritual refinement field, opening up new spiritual veins.
The cost of reopening was naturally very high compared to directly seizing the existing spiritual veins. However, it was still acceptable with the support of the first person in the world.
At the same time, some sects with a bad reputation and were regarded as Devil Sects in the cultivation world were also liquidated, directly wiped out by the people of the Hao Hua Sect without leaving a trace.
Even if they wanted to unite, they would unite with those forces with a better reputation and be relatively more reliable. On the other hand, those with a bad reputation and were gloomy were afraid of being backstabbed even if they cooperated with them. So, naturally, it was better to clear the scene early.
Another few decades passed. The Hao Hua Sect was thriving and developing well, although no major war existed. Driven by the Hao Hua Sect, good news came from all over the cultivation world.
In recent years, the spiritual energy in the world seemed to be gradually recovering. Heavenly Gifted Individuals from all over the world frequently appeared. The number was far greater than in the past.
A brand new force named Star Alliance appeared abroad ten years ago. Star Alliance was a force that came from abroad. It was said that its headquarters was very powerful. Currently, only a portion of its power entered the cultivation world. This matter surprised many people.
The essence of this world was mainly concentrated on a continent. As for abroad, although there were also many regions with living beings, most were wastelands, and their spiritual veins were exhausted. Even if there were cultivators, they were not that powerful.
However, this group of people known as the Star Alliance was different. They were very powerful. There were also several representative powerhouses. For example, there were a few existences known as kings, including the Crimson King, the Golden King, the King of None, the Black King, and the King of Stars…
A king walked out from the Star Alliance. His strength was also shockingly powerful. Each king’s strength was comparable to a Heavenly Venerate. And it seemed that due to the unique cultivation method of the ancient times, his power was even more powerful than an ordinary Heavenly Venerate.
Above these kings, it was said that there was also a controller of the Star Alliance, a supreme existence known as the Red Lotus King. This kind of force shook the entire cultivation world. Yet, it was not inferior to any holy land in terms of high-end prowess. It only lacked a Legacy Holy Weapon compared to the top holy land in the area.
In reality, these were all Chen Heng’s armors. The so-called Star Alliance was none other than the one Chen Heng founded in the initial world. In the initial world, Chen Heng had founded the Star Alliance and became the overlord, replacing the previous Round Table.
After an endless period, its strength has grown, and its influence has become extremely powerful. This resulted from ruling a universe and absorbing all the Heavenly Gifted Individuals and resources. It would be strange if it were not strong enough.
As for those kings, they were naturally acquaintances. The Crimson King was the former Crimson Knight promoted, while the other was the former Black King. The so-called King of None was Chen Heng’s younger sister, Lu Yao.
The Golden King, Augustus and the King of Stars, Gunali, were Chen Heng’s two students. They had inherited the names of Lu Yao and Chen Heng, and they had also become kings.
Chen Heng deliberately arranged the arrival of the Star Alliance. Originally, he had planned to find a world with a high enough upper limit to accommodate his subordinates in the initial world.
After all, even though the Star Alliance controlled everything in the initial world, the upper limit was still too low. Even advancing to the seventh rank was full of difficulties. One had to rely on the world’s power to do so.
If it were other worlds, Heavenly Gifted Individuals like Gunali and Lu Yao could easily advance to a higher level. However, it was completely limited in the initial world. If they were placed in a world with a high enough upper limit, they would have a better future with their abilities.
The world before them looked pretty good. From what Chen Heng felt, even though this world had an upper limit and was full of difficulties after the ninth rank, it was pretty good as a transition world.
