Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7129

Chapter 7040: Netherworld Star-Eating Lotus

After leaving the Little Emperor’s Sky, Elder Wei and the other two quickly arrived at a place almost devoid of any inhabitants of the Divine Treasure Clan.

This place was a barren wasteland, devoid of anything except a black city wall forged from Divine Treasure Stone.

“Elder Wei, I have a question,” Jiu Siheng suddenly asked tentatively after arriving. “

Speak,” Elder Wei replied without turning his head.

Jiu Siheng, observing the surroundings, said seemingly casually, “Why did you think of joining the Emperor so late? Wouldn’t it have been more advantageous for you to display your prowess in the battle of the Great Divine Treasure Star System?”

Elder Wei stopped, turned around, and shook his head with a smile, saying helplessly, “I wanted to too, but sometimes one is not in control of one’s own destiny.”

“How can you not be in control? Joining the Emperor should be the simplest thing. As long as you have the strength, almost no one would dare to stop him from recruiting talent,” Jiu Yangui said, frowning in confusion.

Elder Wei smiled and said, “As guardian imperial clans, you may have grown up in the Heavenly Emperor Sect and not be very familiar with the situation of the outer gray star systems. But that’s normal; it’s not your fault. It’s just that our upbringing is different.”

Flowers in a greenhouse, limited in knowledge.

This same statement, expressed in his manner, was not annoying but rather endearing.

However, judging his character based on this statement would be a grave mistake.

Upon hearing this, Jiu Siheng was not annoyed at all; instead, his interest was piqued. He asked curiously, “Elder Wei, could you please explain in detail?”

“Very well, the matter of releasing Daozhi also requires preparation, there’s no rush.” Elder Wei nodded and smiled slightly. “Actually, many gray star systems are unable to achieve internal unity. While the Emperor is attacking the Great Divine Treasury Star System, my Qingling Star System is at a critical moment in unifying star systems, and I simply cannot spare the time. If I were to forcibly leave, there might be a risk of the entire clan being

wiped out. At that time, only my family patriarch would remain, and any benefits the Emperor gives me would be meaningless.” Jiu Yangui nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this and said, “I see. I can understand that. It’s just a pity that the timing is so coincidental. If Elder Wei had joined the Emperor’s army and made a move beforehand, Li Tianming wouldn’t have had the opportunity to cause trouble.”

Jiu Siheng also nodded slightly after hearing this, his eyes clear. “Since Elder Wei can now act with such confidence and full force, the war in the Qingling Star System should have subsided, right?”

“Of course, and we already have excellent successors.” Elder Wei said proudly, “Now my clan is the absolute overlord of the Qingling Star System, and naturally we can lead the entire star system to surrender without anyone daring to say a word against it!”

Upon hearing this, Jiu Siheng secretly exchanged a glance with Jiu Yangui, then blinked and said, “Since Elder Wei already has absolute control over the Qingling Star System, why do you still want to submit? Wouldn’t it be better to be a local emperor yourself?”

“Are you two testing me? Did the Emperor arrange for you to ask?” Elder Wei raised his eyes, his eyes gleaming.

“I dare not speak in the name of the Emperor. My words and actions at this moment represent my own doubts.” Jiu Siheng smiled slightly and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

“Actually, there’s nothing to hide. In the end, aren’t all the people who come here here seeking profit?” Elder Wei sighed, gazing at the central area of the old capital.

“So I’m also curious, your submission is equivalent to adding a tax to the Qingling Star System, and we don’t even know if the Emperor’s assistance will be needed in the future. What are you seeking?” Jiu Siheng asked疑惑地问道.

Upon hearing this, Elder Wei merely smiled and said, “Perhaps a few hundred thousand years younger, with my lofty ambitions, I might still be thinking of establishing an eternal dynasty, but now I understand.”

“What are Elder Wei’s insights? This junior would like to hear them in detail,” Jiu Siheng asked in surprise.

“The unification of the Heavenly Emperor’s territory is an unstoppable trend. Rather than waiting for the surrounding gray star systems to turn into gold star systems and besiege my Qingling Star System, it’s better to surrender as soon as possible and use the eternal status of the Heavenly Emperor Sect to establish my clan’s eternal subordinate status.” Elder Wei said this with a smile on his lips.

Upon hearing this, Jiu Siheng smiled slightly and said, “Elder Wei is absolutely right. Following the Emperor is indeed much more promising than holding onto one side.”

As they were talking, the group arrived at the very center of this wasteland near the old capital’s city walls.

Upon reaching their destination, the three of them stopped.

At this moment, Elder Wei instructed the two beside him, “You two should keep your distance. My precious bodies are enormous and incredibly destructive. If you were even slightly touched, you might unleash the essence of a Celestial God.”

Jiu Siheng and Jiu Yangui nodded slightly, their expressions grave as they retreated to the sides.

They dared not be careless and did not question what the other party said.

After all, the other party truly had the confidence to back it up; this was a powerhouse surpassing the Heavenly Venerable level!

Once the two were at a safe distance from Elder Wei, the withered old man with green hair opened his arms, his gaze sharpening.

Buzz—

accompanied by his green hair standing on end, a green light suddenly emerged from his chest and abdomen!

This green light gradually expanded, quickly transforming into what resembled a gigantic green eye.

Countless veins spread from the gigantic eye, as if weaving a green tunnel connecting to another world…

Jiu Siheng and Jiu Yangui watched this scene, feeling the aura emanating from Elder Wei, and their pupils constricted sharply.

Jiu Yan Gui exclaimed in shock, “This talent for controlling Dao plants is arguably the strongest below the Emperor Clan of Living Beings!”

At the same time, an even more terrifying change occurred: three gigantic shadows flashed through the green tunnel.

Rumble—!!

As these three gigantic shadows gradually became clearer, Dao clouds and meteorites from galaxies raged in the cosmos!

In the Guan Zi Zai Realm, a nebula vortex resembling a burning fire appeared above the old capital.

Faintly visible, black rain corroded the earth, falling from it, while golden, world-destroying lightning swirled in the clouds.

Within the enormous green spatial tunnel opened in Elder Wei’s chest and abdomen, the three gigantic entities were finally summoned to the wasteland before them.

Sizzle!

The first to descend was a gigantic black abyssal lotus formed from a viscous, strange substance, surrounded by ghostly flames of the underworld. Its heart was a slowly rotating, devouring eye!

The moment this black lotus appeared, most of the surrounding cosmic rays were immediately swallowed up, causing the area to suddenly darken. Moreover, the closer one got to the lotus’s heart eye, the darker it became.

Elder Wei looked at the black lotus, slightly raised his head, and said proudly, “This ‘Netherworld Star-Eating Lotus’ has been with me for a long time. One of the effects of its divine power, ‘Netherworld Ghost Domain,’ is that it can draw life force from a vast area to enhance itself. I finally elevated it to above the Heavenly Venerable level after sacrificing hundreds of level-eight star systems.”
