Tianyang Star Hall has already gained a Gold Star this year, and if it obtains two, then the present world is set to see waves again…”
Before the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao could finish, Elder Peng’s eyes suddenly widened, his white eyebrows trembling.
“Palace…
Palace Master, another one!
Another Gold Star!”
“What?”
State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao once again grasped the Star-picking Order and looked towards the Star-picking Secret Realm.
As he saw clearly, even his fingers trembled a few tis.
Three!
Three Gold Stars added this year.
This was simply fatal.
In the past, on average, a Gold Star would appear once every three to five years, and sotis not even one would appear in a decade.
But this year, no, within a single day, in just 15 minutes, two more Gold Stars appeared.
What kind of genius is this!
It even caused the heart of State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao to tremble!
Two Gold Stars, if they fell into the sa hands, could affect the current balance.
If all appeared at Tianyang Star Hall, the first one unable to sit still would probably be Cangming Star Hall.
But the Da Chen National Daoist School wouldn’t fare much better.
It wouldn’t be long before they felt the pressure from Tianyang Star Hall!
If these two new Gold Stars both really fell within Tianyang Star Hall, then the benefits he had fought over from Tianyang Star Hall for the past twenty years could all be spat out in a few years!
“Alas…”
State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao rarely gave a long sigh.
Suddenly, he felt sowhat weary.
Twenty years of exhausting thoughts and efforts, suddenly he felt it could all be in vain!
Anyone in his place would feel uncomfortable!
Seeing the disconcerted look of the Palace Master, Elder Peng was the one who knew best the various hardships the Palace Master had suffered over the years.
The pressure was imnse!
Not only from the great external pressures but also from the trendous internal ones!
Fortunately, things were getting better step by step.
But these two unexpected Gold Stars, although they wouldn’t bring an overwhelming disaster to Da Chen, greatly affected the spirit of State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao!
After so thought, Elder Peng began to console him.
“Palace Master need not worry, within a year or two, I foresee Xu Jin will definitely pick one or two Gold Stars, by then, even if Tianyang Star Hall gets three Gold Stars this year, we need not fear!
Perhaps, it could even prompt an alliance with Cangming Star Hall.”
This possibility did exist.
Suddenly, an idea crossed Cheng Yuxiao’s mind, and he turned to Elder Peng, “Elder Peng, is it possible that Xu Jin picked these two Gold Stars?
After all, he is in the Star-picking Tower right now, isn’t he?”
After thinking it over, Elder Peng nodded, “There is indeed such a possibility!
If these two Gold Stars were picked by Xu Jin, then timing-wise, him taking on the Gold Stars in one go is indeed a possibility!
But then again, Xu Jin is only at the Fourth Layer of Refining Star.
Among the known records, the lowest Cultivation Level of those who obtained a Gold Star is the Seventh Layer of Refining Star.
Fourth Layer of Refining Star…”
“Records are also made by people!
I once set the record for the lowest Cultivation Level in the Star Condensing Realm to pick a Gold Star!” State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao said.
“That’s true, but how many in this world can compare to you, Palace Master?”
“Xu Jin is definitely one of them!
It took fifteen breaths to pick a Silver Star, yet he only used ten,” State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao said.
Upon hearing this, Chief Peng muttered with a low, bitter smile, “Palace Master, whether it was him who picked the Silver Star, we still can’t be certain.”
The next instant, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao suddenly stood up, “This is of great importance; we can no longer sit idly by, I must personally find Xu Jin and ask him directly.”
“That works, then I will accompany the Palace Master!” Elder Peng said.
The State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao, who had just nodded in agreent, suddenly shook his head vigorously.
“No!”
“We must not go together!”
“If it indeed was Xu Jin who picked the Gold Stars, then by going there, we would be harming him!”
“I shall go undercover, and you, Elder, conceal yourself above Xu Jin’s residence, observing from all directions.
There must be no leaks of this news and our actions!” State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao said.
“Just so!”
The next instant, both the State Preceptor and Chief Peng, vanished.
