Chapter 786 - 291: The Glorious History of the Sages, Name Your Price_3

"Eh, isn’t this brother from [Desolate Sky]?"

In an instant, the martial artist from [Desolate Sky] was surrounded, with everyone trying to verify if this was true.

The martial artist from [Desolate Sky] was furious.

As an ancient sect of the Ten Directions Sects, who would so casually rub salt in their wounds?

Just as he was about to angrily strike, he received a warning that seemed like a heavenly omen, making him shiver, filled with a mix of anger and shock, but he could only temporarily suppress it.

With a dark face, he forcibly squeezed out of the crowd, leaving behind a resentful remark: "Somebody just asked about the World Venerable Lineage? Then I suggest you ask the people from [Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain], they know best!"

"Qin Tianfeng... the name sounds familiar, is he the ruthless man from millennia ago who always acted ’by heaven’s will’ no matter what he did?"

"Hiss, now that you mention it, I remember... He truly was unreasonable. The [Blood Demon Palace] didn’t provoke him either, but because he disapproved of the [Blood Demon Palace]’s actions, he forcibly dismantled ten branch halls of the [Blood Demon Palace] and even faced off against the Blood Demon Ancestor!"

"Honestly, I disapprove too, but sadly I’m not strong enough."

"Brother, mind your words!"

"Wait, if Qin Tianfeng really is that person, then this Li Shoucheng... if I remember correctly, after the Blood Demon Ancestor severely injured Qin Tianfeng back then, it was the new Daoist Master from [Longevity Temple] who intercepted, nearly triggering a war between [Blood Demon Palace] and [Longevity Temple]!"

"[Longevity Temple] has indeed seen several turnovers of Daoist Masters in the past ten millennia!"

Unbeknownst to anyone.

The crowd fell silent.

The cosmic group they formed was also cloaked in a long ellipsis.

Before coming, most people regarded the Yanhuang Federation as a second-rate civilization on a tiny land, unfortunately occupying the former Ninth Ascension Platform.

But now, after cross-referencing messages from their own channels, they uncovered a shocking truth.

The martial artists of this Yanhuang Federation are each highly skilled, surpassing one another!

Considering this foundation, it’s only because the Federation’s predecessors had shorter lives, otherwise, even an ordinary True Saint Dojo wouldn’t measure up!

In an instant, many people felt relieved.

It turns out it wasn’t a phoenix born from a chicken coop, but a fallen phoenix’s nest, with its bloodline still unsevered, producing a new phoenix.

"I recalled a rumor." Someone whispered, solemnly said, "A millennium ago, among the Four Demons, the Dream Demon fell from the Divine Throne and ultimately disappeared..."

The crowd was horrified.

"Are you implying that this matter is also related to this place?!"

"Unclear, I inquired within my sect, but received no response. I suggest you ask as well."

"Don’t you find it odd? Why did we have no information before coming here?"

"Hehe, I just asked a member of a force that is an old acquaintance of the Federation’s Six Great Families. They only know that the Six Great Families have long legacies, being old acquaintances with their sect, but are equally unaware of their ancestor’s past reputation and deeds..."

When these words were spoken, everyone had a bad feeling.

Were they just sent here to ’clear paths’?"

"Impossible! Do you mean to say the Divine Prohibition of [Five Virtues Palace] is also here to scout?!" Someone immediately refuted.

"I asked my sect, that person is actually here to find the Holy King Lineage’s Chi Ji, the Federation was just on the way, and [Five Virtues Palace]’s main battleground isn’t the Ninth Ascension Platform. They and [Qingtian Temple] have already considered the Sixth Ascension Platform as their own."

The crowd fell silent once more.

They all knew what this meant.

"What is there to fear?" Suddenly someone spoke coldly, "The generation of the Federation from a millennium ago is basically dead, what’s left now are a bunch of disappointing juniors."

"Are you talking about Ji Jingqiu?" Someone interjected unexpectedly.

"A single tree can’t prop up a vast Federation!"

"But it’s enough to support the East Three Bright Star." Someone calmly remarked.

East Three Bright Star was precisely their target, the former Ninth Ascension Platform.

"Just lure him away, as long as you’re willing to gamble, there are ways. If you’re this scared, why not return to your sect and complain?" Someone said expressionlessly, turning to leave.

The martial arts demonstration of the Federation’s Hundred Veins continued.

Martial artists from various realms either stood silently in the corners, their eyes flickering, or turned and left.

Yet, no matter who they were, none noticed that in one corner of their hearts, a seed had been planted.

Whether it would blossom into a flower of Devil Thought was just a thought away.

...

...

Up until now.

Ji Jingqiu had engaged in numerous discussions with representatives of the Hundred Veins.

The discussions mainly revolved around the challenges the Federation would face next and the development of martial arts veins.

As more martial artists from various realms arrive, chaos is inevitable, and if not curbed, the Federation would face a collapse.

In the era of the Great Universe, the biggest problem is the vast territorial expanse, and currently, without a Grandmaster overseeing, if the Heavenly Persons disperse to oversee, it works for a short time but will be inadequate when martial artists from various realms break through the Heavenly Human Boundary en masse.

In such a scenario, the best solution is actually to contract, but in the short term, relocating hundreds of billions or even trillions of Federation citizens to the central region for settlement is extremely challenging.

For the Federation to remain stable, not only the Hundred Veins martial artists but also the major families and the government need to set an example and jointly maintain the Federation’s peace and stability.

After several discussions, the Hundred Veins finally finalized the initial guidelines, and Ji Jingqiu stepped back, with Ji Anquan taking his place, in charge.

He then returned to cultivation, seizing the time to reach the Heavenly Human Boundary.
