After Shi Feng returned to the third floor of the Nine Star Pavilion, he discovered that the mist on this floor had completely dissipated, vanishing without a trace!
At that mont, Shi Feng was suddenly startled, then he raised his head and looked up at the night sky.
In the pitch-black night sky, Shi Feng finally saw those nine brilliant stars.
Though the arrangent of the nine stars was chaotic, it gave Shi Feng an unusual feeling as if they were arranged in a strange ancient pattern.
Shi Feng imdiately sensed a mysterious star power from those nine stars.
"These nine stars are not simple!" Gazing at the nine stars, Shi Feng whispered to himself, furrowing his brows.
Then, Shi Feng's Soul Power erged once again, gathering upward.
Just at that mont, the mysterious force from during the day re-erged, pressing Shi Feng's soul force back down.
But in the next mont, Shi Feng saw those nine stars in the night sky suddenly shift, rearranging into an even more chaotic pattern, giving Shi Feng a stranger feeling.
Another second passed, and Shi Feng, with eyes tightly focused on the night sky, saw the nine stars changing positions again mysteriously.
Afterward, the positions of the nine stars began to shift constantly, almost changing into different mysterious arrangents every second.
Gradually, Shi Feng's once tranquil face began to show an expression of shock, as if he had discovered sothing at that mont.
...
In the Clan Chief Mansion Hall of the Human Clan Territory.
At this mont, besides Dugu Xingyun sitting high in the main seat, fourteen other people are seated in two rows!
These fourteen people are all important figures in the Human Clan Territory, each with an exceptional deanor and holding vital positions.
At this mont, the hall is utterly silent. After sipping a cup of top-grade tea, Clan Leader Dugu Xingyun gently places the cup back on the nearby table and surveys the fourteen silent people below with a faint smile, breaking the hall's silence:
"You must be very curious why I let that outsider Shi Feng stay in the Nine Star Pavilion!"
As Dugu Xingyun finishes speaking, the fourteen faces in the hall imdiately turn to him again, their gazes focusing on this pretentious old man.
In the Human Clan Territory, it's well known that this old man, famous for being pretentious, had long wanted to move into the Nine Star Pavilion, just waiting for the calculated auspicious day!
But to everyone's surprise, he was generous enough to let that outsider have the Nine Star Pavilion.
Many people truly find it hard to understand when this pretentious old man beca so generous.
As he saw those gazes directed at him, Dugu Xingyun's heart stirred, and his white robe and white hair began to flutter without any wind.
Instantly making this old guy look exceedingly ethereal and otherworldly.
The people in the hall glanced at this pretentious old man discreetly.
This old thing always wants to show off, it seems like he'll die if he doesn't act cool for a mont.
Then, Dugu Xingyun spoke again: "Throughout history, anyone in the Human Clan who reaches eighteen can enter the Nine Star Pavilion for three days.
But for so many years, besides seeing those nine stars at night, there have been no other discoveries. But everyone, you haven't forgotten the ancient legend about the Nine Star Pavilion, have you?"
"The ancient legend of the Nine Star Pavilion?"
"The ancient legend of the Nine Star Pavilion?"
"The ancient legend of the Nine Star Pavilion!"
As soon as Dugu Xingyun finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed simultaneously, as if they suddenly understood sothing!
Soone spoke up with a relieved expression: "So the Clan Leader is only letting that outsider stay in the Nine Star Pavilion for three days? He's not letting him stay there permanently."
"So that's it!" Soone thought to themselves.
There's no way this pretentious old man would let that outsider stay in the Nine Star Pavilion!
How could he possibly let soone from outside live in the Nine Star Pavilion, a symbol of status and power!
Looking at the person who just spoke, Dugu Xingyun's old face still held a faint smile as he slowly shook his head and said, "Commander Qin, you are mistaken!
"Mistaken?"
"Mistaken!"
"Hmm? Mistaken?"
Upon hearing Dugu Xingyun's words, the faces that had previously shown relief once again showed confusion.
Commander Qin spoke again, asking, "Is the Clan Leader really planning to let that outsider live in the Nine Star Pavilion?"
That young man nad Shi Feng is the focus of conversation within the Human Clan Territory today. Countless people and countless places are discussing this Six-star Demigod genius who ca from outside.
Even those who didn't accompany Dugu Xingyun to the Blood Devouring Race Territory have already learned about this person in detail.
Though he is a genius in the Six-star Demigod Realm, allowing him to live in the Nine Star Pavilion makes them feel dissatisfied.
If people like them don't have the right to live there, what qualifies an outsider to stay!
Amidst the questioning gazes, Dugu Xingyun calmly said again, "If Shi Feng can obtain that ancient opportunity in the Nine Star Pavilion, then why wouldn't the Nine Star Pavilion be his to live in from now on?"
When Dugu Xingyun finished speaking, the questioning looks promptly disappeared. People once again murmured inside:
"So that's how it is!"
"This pretentious old man only ever tells half the story!"
"Wow, so that's what he ant to say!"
"That ancient opportunity? This old thing is just talking nonsense! Acting like he'd truly concede the Nine Star Pavilion to that outsider, when secretly, he can't wait to move in himself!
Through the ages, the Human Clan has produced countless geniuses, many strong people, even several Nine-star Demigods!
Though talent-wise Shi Feng is said to have survived a terrifying heavenly tribulation and has impressive gifts, past geniuses of the Human Clan have also been tribulation survivors.
The previous talents couldn't obtain the ancient opportunity ntioned in the legend, so how could Shi Feng possibly achieve it?"
Clearly, everyone in the hall doesn't believe the outsider can obtain that ancient opportunity.
Even this pretentious old man Dugu Xingyun doesn't hold out any hope. He's rely adhering to the ancestral tradition, letting Shi Feng have a go, going through the motions.
At this mont, Dugu Xingyun surveyed those below once more, then slowly retracted the smile from his old face.
Then, a grave look appeared on his face as he addressed everyone again:
"Alright, let's not talk about the Nine Star Pavilion anymore. Surely you haven't forgotten, right? Next month is the once every five years battle of heavenly talents among the tribes of the Imprisonnt World!"
"Battle of heavenly talents!"
"Battle of heavenly talents!"
"Battle of heavenly talents!"
Upon hearing the term "Battle of heavenly talents," it was apparent that everyone in the hall underwent a visible downturn, and started shaking their heads slowly, sighing.
It's evident that these people don't seem to like this battle of heavenly talents event!
