Chapter 1261 - Big Dipper Sword Stone

Outside the Voidsky Flame Pillar, an uproar burst out when Voidword Shrine’s Kong was kicked out. The pillar was practically swarmed by people, as dark undercurrents started churning. Many cultivators from the Myriad Solar Sects were hidden and greedily eying the proceedings.

Back on the Azurecloud Continent, Gujian Qingshuang had already activated the ultimate defenses of the sect. While here, Jiang Qingliu, the only cultivator of the Azuresoul Palace present, was under the heavy guard of the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect. Still, just because no one dared to approach him for now didn’t mean no one was staring at him from afar.

The number one Dragon Imperial had even appeared with reinforcements, so the current Xuanyuan Dragon Sect was a huge deterrent.

To avoid being dragged into the chaos, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to do anything.

Right now, the Dragonblood Desecration and Lifesteal Silverdragon had faded into the background and most people were focusing on the Divine Worldeater Cauldron’s return.

“It’ll be good if the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect knows when to stop and is satisfied with the Ninedragon Imperius.”

“How could that be possible? At the very least, Li Tianming’s Ninedragon Tribulation is their ancestor’s sword art, so they won’t give it up.”

“The Dragonblood Desecration and Lifesteal Silverdragon, too. I think the grandpath fiend pill can still be dug out from Feng as well, right?”

“Know when to stop? Oh please. They must have their eyes blinded by greed now.”

Now, the only thing left to be seen was who obtained the candidacy for the Sky Palace. And then, who would actually join the Sky Palace. If Yu Ziqian were to join, the matters outside wouldn’t escalate too much.

“Did you see that clearly? That Feng kid has a very strong soul, at least a third regal soul.”

“He relied on it to beat Kong.”

“A specter that uses their soul, not their body?”

“I don’t know where on the sun Jiang Qingliu found these disciples. Their talent isn’t too high, but they managed to reach where they are now because they have some special tricks.”

“It’s a miracle, having three out of the top four places.”

“Weisheng Moran is the only one helping the first-rate sects keep some face.”

“Haha.”

Even the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect could hear the discussions.

“Saintdragon Emperor.” Long Wanying came to the elder. His daughter and grandson were next to her. Long Longlong’s expression wasn’t pleasant, especially when he saw Xiaoxiao.

“Based on the current situation, many of us believe that these three disciples, plus the Ninedragon Tribulation, Lifesteal Silverdragon, and Dragonblood Desecration are things we’re capable of keeping and have a righteous reason. Even if all together they’re not worth as much as the Divine Worldeater Cauldron, the disciples have proven their talent. Li Tianming especially got the ancestor’s sword art. His future won’t be inferior to Longlong’s, and he even happens to have a dragon lifebound beast. I hope you and the other Dragon Imperials will reconsider.”

As the newly minted Whitedragon Empress, Long Wanying had the weakest qualifications and would be sidelined when important decisions were to be made. However, her mind was still clear. She believed the Saintdragon Emperor could clearly see it too, how greedy everyone around them looked! This wasn’t a minor matter.

“Nurture? Does our Xuanyuan Dragon Sect lack people so much that we need to nurture some thieves?” Long Longlong didn’t have the qualification to speak, but Long Wanying’s words had infuriated him. Tianming was the one he hated the most right now.

“Long Wanying, are you crazy? The Ninedragon Tribulation is our ancestor’s. It can only belong to his descendants! Li Tianming must have some medium to learn this sword art, so we just need to seize it! The Divine Worldeater Cauldron is also important, but you want to give up the thing that can grow our sect and choose three losers instead!” Long Xiqian said insidiously.

“Three losers? Then what exactly is your son, who lost to them?” Long Wanying innocently said.

Long Longlong turned green when he heard that and his hands shook. “Whitedragon Empress, everything in the Imperial Ninedragon Tomb is our ancestor’s inheritance to us. The Sky Palace stole it, and the Divine Worldeater Cauldron belongs to us. Yet you want us to give up on it! You even want to let those three outsiders keep their items and nurture them. What if they don’t have any loyalty to us? Or perhaps, Whitedragon Empress, you’re the one lacking loyalty?”

Everything went silent when Long Longlong said that. Long Xiqian hurriedly stood in front of her son to protect him from Long Wanying.

However, Long Wanying wasn’t angry. She simply smiled and said, “Longlong, before, I thought you were meticulous and polite, a true diamond in the rough. However, your mother is too base and only taught you how to stir up internal conflict. Thus, you aren’t aware that this will ruin your future. Remember, it was your mother who ruined your future.”

Long Wanying turned to Long Xiqian. “Take the child away. You two don’t qualify to talk here.”

Long Xiqing was still furious, and even Long Longlong was angrily glaring at Long Wanying.

Still, it was true that the mother and son pair weren’t respectful of seniority when they tried to interject in the decisions of the Seven Dragon Imperials.

“We have to watch our eating when we have domestic and foreign troubles.” Long Wanying said seriously to the Saintdragon Emperor.

“I understand. Won’t the answer come soon if we keep watching?”

“I’m just worried our clan will take the wrong step.” Long Wanying’s eyes were clouded with worry.

The Saintdragon Emperor gave her a profound look, but didn’t say anything else.

Not far off, Long Xiqian was still angry. Long Longlong was glaring at Xiaoxiao, and he couldn’t endure the thought of these people cultivating in his sect and receiving its protection. “Thieves!”

……

Two minutes ago, outside the battlefield.

Lingfeng had just entered when Tianming sat down.

“Not watching?” Yu Ziqian asked.

“Yes.” Tianming took out the Big Dipper Sword Stone from Long Longlong’s spatial ring. It was a grade-five divine ore that had the Big Dipper World divine pattern inside. Its structure was stable enough to fuse and store sword ki divine hazards inside.

“You believe in Feng so much?” Yu Ziqian asked.

“It’s because I understand him that I believe in him.” Tianming didn’t say anything else. Once Lingfeng’s battle finished, round two would begin.

There wasn’t much time left. Although there was only a one in three chance to meet Weisheng Moran, Tianming still wanted to make preparations. Hence, while Yu Ziqian was watching the battle, Tianming began drawing out the first few sword ki divine hazards from the stone.
