Despite he was the Star Gazing Palace Master, Xing Yongnian rarely showed himself in public. All the things were mostly done by the Supreme Elder Xing Guiren. Hence, his appearance this time gave everyone a bit of a surprise as they thought it would be managed by Xing Guiren like usual.
"We welcome Palace Master." All the Star Gazing Palace's disciples bowed their heads and said in unison. Their voices were filled with undisguised pride when they spoke this.
Xing Yongnian glanced at everyone's small tables and frowned slightly. "I told all of you to serve tea for our esteemed guests. What are you doing?"
One of the disciples hurriedly knelt down and said. "Please forgive us, Palace Master. We have been instructed by First Elder."
"First Elder?" The frown between Xing Yongnian's brows grew deeper as he said. "Go. Serve everyone pastries."
He then cupped his fists and said to everyone in the avenue. "Please forgive me for poor hospitality."
Those from the second-rate forces quickly denied it and said it was fine upon hearing this. Meanwhile, the first-rate forces kept silent, including Yun Lintian's group.
Xing Yongnian turned to Yun Lintian and said with a faint smile. "Thank you, Sect Master Yun, for providing the tea sets. We will naturally compensate you later."
Yun Lintian smiled and replied. "This is nothing to be mentioned, Palace Master Xing."
Xing Yongnian's gaze lingered on Yun Lintian for a second and turned toward the arena in the middle.
"Since everyone is here, I shall not waste time further. I hereby declare the Azure Alliance Conference has begun!"
As his voice fell, everyone immediately went silent as the atmosphere turned solemn.
Xing Yongnian said further. "As everyone knows, the purpose of this conference is to form an alliance to deal with the Poison Valley."
"For those who don't know, I will give you a brief introduction about the enemy."
He then proceeded to explain the details of the incident four thousand years ago and how Yin Weizhe could possibly return in the upcoming days, including the recent movement of the Poison Valley.
After listening to him, the people in the avenue began to discuss in a low voice. For some of them, this was the first time they had heard about Poison Valley. This made the desire to form an alliance grow stronger among them.
"Please tell us how to deal with them, Palace Master Xing." A man among the crowds spoke out and was backed up by many people. They were looking at Xing Yongnian, waiting for his instruction.
Xing Yongnian nodded and said with a serious expression. "Before that, let me use my Star Gazing Divination Art to see the direction of our alliance first."
He then looked at the sky as his aura gradually rose.
Suddenly, the sun was slowly being marked with a black shadow, causing everyone in the city to look at it in awe.
In the next moment, the sky gradually darkened. From daytime turned into nighttime. Countless stars shone brightly, making the atmosphere rather solemn.
Yun Lintian looked at the sky and frowned slightly. "What's going on?"
Hongyue's voice resounded in his mind. "No wonder he chooses this day. It's nothing but a mere natural phenomenon."
"Oh?" Yun Lintian felt strange. He had lived in this world for almost twenty years, yet this was the first time he saw such a natural phenomenon.
"However, those who use Star Energy will be especially strong in this environment. Obviously, he has planned this for a long time." Hongyue explained further.
Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly, and he quickly shared the information with his people.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help looking at Xing Yongnian solemnly. Was he going to reveal his conspiracy now?
At this moment, Xing Yongnian raised his hand slightly, and the stars in the sky instantly grew brighter. A complicated diagram slowly emerged by the arrangement of the stars before transforming into the words "Beyond Heaven."
The expressions of Xing Yongnian and the Star Guardians around him turned solemn upon seeing this. Obviously, this was a prophecy that the stars gave them. However, they had no idea what was the meaning behind it.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian was shocked to the core. He didn't know what was going on, but the words "Beyond Heaven" were definitely related to him.
"Oh? Looks like this Star Gazing Divination Art is something." Hongyue spoke in surprise as she saw this scene.
"What does it mean?" Yun Lintian asked in his mind.
"If I'm not mistaken, he has used his power to peek into the fate of this world, and obviously, it is related to you." Hongyue paused for a moment and said in a deep voice. "The ups and downs of this world depend on you."
Yun Lintian frowned deeply. Although he possessed a power that surpassed this world, he didn't think he alone could determine the world's life and death… At least, not now.
"Beyond heaven…" Du Xiaotian and the others muttered to themselves. They were aware of how powerful the Star Gazing Divination Art was and pretty much believed in it. However, they were the same as Xiang Yongnian at the moment. They had no clue about this Beyond Heaven.
"Cough!" Suddenly, Xiang Yongnian coughed a mouthful of blood, bringing everyone back to their senses. They couldn't help looking at him worriedly and admiring him for his sacrifice.
"Let me help you." Du Xiaotian raised his hand, and a gentle wood aura shot out from his palm toward Xiang Yongnian. Immediately, Xiang Yongnian's condition improved. His pale face gradually turned rosy.
Yun Lintian was surprised to see this scene. As someone with the Tree of Life, he was naturally sensitive to the wood element. He didn't expect Du Xiaotian's wood elemental power to be this strong. It could be almost comparable to him.
This old man is surely not easy. No wonder his attainment in alchemy and medicine is so high… Thought Yun Lintian.
Xiang Yongnian cupped his fists toward Du Xiaotian and said. "Thank you, Brother Du."
Du Xiaotian retracted his hand and said gently. "What I did could not be compared to you. You don't have to be polite."
He paused for a moment and asked. "May I know what the meaning of this prophecy is ?"
His question represented everyone's doubt. They all looked toward Xing Yongnian, waiting for his explanation.
