Reversing the Milky Way

The White Tiger Venerable narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This is not something you need to worry about. You just need to prepare the teleportation array to the Cloudfall Mountains of the Fire Cloud Kingdom immediately."

Upon hearing this, Gui Xuzi respectfully led the villagers away.

At this moment, Venerable Giant Strength looked around and said, "The last time I came to this Starfall Continent was a hundred years ago. A hundred years have passed, and I wonder what this place has become."

(In the process of transmitting his thoughts...) Venerable White Tiger: "What should we do about the Immortal Suppression Alliance? That old man from the Eight Trigrams Star Palace can calculate the location of the Demon King Realm."

(Sound transmission in the mind...) Venerable Giant Strength: "Since the Demon Emperor has asked us to follow her, there must be a reason for it. We don't need to worry about it."

At this moment, Venerable White Tiger also looked at Yue Qingwu.

"Lord Purple Moon Demon King, let's go to Willow Hidden Village and wait."

Yue Qingwu nodded after hearing this, and then the three of them disappeared from the spot.

Inside the Bagua Star Palace, an old man slowly opened his eyes. He was Qian Yao, the master of the Bagua Star Palace. Upon closer inspection, he bore a striking resemblance to the fortune-telling old man downstairs in Baicheng Tower.

Around him floated numerous points of light, resembling a dazzling sea of ​​stars in the universe. With a wave of the old man's hand, all the light around him vanished instantly.

Immediately afterwards, his face showed a mixture of surprise and doubt.

"The demon race has actually produced another demon king. I wonder how long this treaty, which has lasted for thousands of years, will last?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man closed his eyes again.

The next day, inside the headquarters of the Zhenxian Alliance, there was a huge council hall. On both sides of the hall stood eight lifelike stone statues.

These eight stone statues are the statues of the current sect leaders of the eight major sects that make up the Zhenxian Alliance.

They are the Cangxuan Sect of the Fire Cloud Kingdom, whose current sect leader is Cang Chenyuan.

The current sect leader of the Overlord Sect of Xuanwu Kingdom is Huang Tianyu.

The Hidden Moon Sect of Yunmiao Kingdom, currently led by Sect Master Youyue.

The current sect leader of the Bagua Immortal Palace of the Tianling Dynasty is Qian Yao.

The current sect leader of the Azure Sea Sect in the Canghai Kingdom is Hai Xinghan.

The current sect leader of the Xuan Yue Sword Sect in the Yuehua Kingdom is Jian Yunxiao.

The Snow-Hidden Immortal Traces of the Frost and Snow Dynasty, currently headed by Leng Youlan.

The last one is Tian Xingchen, the master of Tianxing Pavilion.

The core of these stone statues was constructed using high-grade ore, the Illusionary Spirit Stone.

As the name suggests, the Illusionary Spirit Stone contains the cultivator's divine sense imprint. No matter how far apart they are, as long as the cultivator activates the divine sense imprint, the Illusionary Spirit Stone will resonate, thus manifesting an illusory image of the cultivator. The cultivator's divine sense will also temporarily attach itself to this illusion, experiencing the same sights and feelings as the real person.

At that moment, Qian Yao's stone statue emitted a burst of light. Then, Qian Yao's illusion emerged from the statue, indistinguishable from a real person.

Immediately afterwards, he flicked a ball of spiritual energy from his hand, which then exploded in mid-air, the spiritual energy fluctuations quickly spreading to the remaining stone statues present.

Immediately after the stone statues emitted a burst of light, the phantom figures of the sect leaders emerged from the statues, a total of six people.

Qian Yao then looked at everyone.

"Is Sect Master Leng Youlan still in seclusion? It's been decades, hasn't her advanced King Breaking Mirror stage stabilized yet?"

Hai Xinghan then spoke up.

"After all, Fairy Leng has just advanced to the King Breaking Realm. Perhaps her body has not yet recovered after passing through the tribulation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the main hall door was opened, and the person who came in was Tian Xingchen.

Unlike others, Tian Xingchen is here in his true form, because his Tianxing Pavilion headquarters is located in Tianxing City, where the Zhenxian Alliance is situated.

"Hahaha, old man Qian! What brings you here? Have you discovered some treasure?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Xingchen took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Qian Yao.

Qian Yao's expression was serious at this moment.

“Pavilion Master, yesterday I observed the Purple Star appearing in the stars, coming from the west. After careful calculation, I determined that this is a Demon King from the Demon Continent who has come to this continent. However, when I tried to determine the location of her appearance, that place was shrouded in mystery, and I could not guess the exact location, but the specific address should be in the west of the continent. It is either within the territory of Yunmiao Kingdom or Xuanwu Kingdom.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Tianyu was slightly startled.

"What Demon King realm? Three thousand years ago, didn't the demon race sign a treaty with our human race, stipulating that anyone at the Demon King realm is not allowed to set foot on our human territory? Palace Master Qian, were you right?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Yao stepped forward.

"Sect Master Huang, on this continent, I, Qian Yao, am known as the Elder of Tianxuan. My divination methods are known to all, and I have never made a mistake. As for this Purple Star, according to my observation, this is its first appearance. It should be the newly promoted Demon King of the Demon Clan. As for why it has set foot in my human territory, the reason is currently unknown."

Upon hearing this, Youyue stepped forward and said, "Since it is within the territory of Yunmiao Kingdom and Xuanwu Kingdom, I will immediately send disciples to search to the west after I return."

After pondering for a while, Huang Tianyu also showed a solemn expression.

"Only those of our level can contend with a Demon King. On this entire continent, the highest combat power of the human race, as it is known, is already seventy percent of the total. Meanwhile, the demon race has at least ten Demon Kings, plus that old monster, the Demon Emperor Luo Ming. The demon race's power has long surpassed that of the human race. Now, they are sending a Demon King to set foot on human land. I wonder what their intentions are."

At this moment, Cang Chenyuan suddenly spoke.

"I don't think there's any need to be nervous. After all, we humans won that battle more than three thousand years ago. Ultimately, if the demons hadn't dragged the monsters into attacking us, I don't think the monsters would have clashed with us."

Upon hearing this, Youyue's face also showed displeasure.

"Sect Master Cang is saying it's none of your business, but if this demon king-level demon appeared in your Fire Cloud Kingdom, what would you think? At that time, I'm afraid even your Fire Cloud Kingdom's emperor would have to run away with his tail between his legs."

Upon hearing this, Cang Chenyuan emitted a tremendous surge of spiritual energy. Although he was currently only an illusion created by the Illusionary Spirit Stone, his true self's divine consciousness covered the illusion, giving it one-tenth of his true self's strength.

This fluctuation was so powerful that even cultivators around the Zhenxian Alliance could clearly feel it; this immense spiritual energy spread from the Zhenxian Alliance to the surrounding area.

Cang Chenyuan stared at Youyue in front of him, and it was clear that he was angered by Youyue's words just now.

"I've heard that Sect Master Youyue's cultivation has improved quite a bit recently. I, Cang, am happy to learn from him at any time."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was becoming tense, Tian Xingchen immediately interrupted the standoff between the two.

"Enough! The Zhenxian Alliance is not a place for you to quarrel!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent. This was because, of all those present, Tian Xingchen possessed the highest cultivation level.

“Recently, the monsters in the major mountain ranges have been frequently causing riots. You should think about how to resolve these issues. As for that demon king who has entered human territory, we can only ask Yunmiao Kingdom and Xuanwu Kingdom to keep an eye on him and report him immediately if they discover any trace of him.”

Then, Tian Xingchen's figure flashed and disappeared into the main hall.

"Then, everyone, I'll take my leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Tianyu's illusion slowly dissipated. Seeing this, everyone's illusions also vanished, and the hall instantly fell silent, leaving only the eight majestic stone statues.

Soon, five days had passed. As agreed, Yu Qing arrived at Yu Qing'an's home early in the morning, followed by a large group of villagers from Yu Family Village.

Soon, the group set off for the competition between Hejia Village and Yujia Village.

When Bai Cheng and his group arrived, he found that Hejia Village was already overflowing with people, with no fewer than a thousand gathered there. Seeing this scene, Bai Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

"It's such a small competition, yet so many people have come to watch."

Yu Qing, standing to the side, replied...

"Although the competition is small, the potential benefits are enormous. Even though we are only competing for a tenth of the total mining share, this tenth share is enough to support the development and maintenance of the entire village. Otherwise, how could the village have established its own guard? Moreover, the village chief will use a portion of the mining profits to provide subsidies to anyone from our village."

Bai Cheng nodded upon hearing this.

"So that's what happened."

Immediately afterwards, Bai Cheng saw the two village chiefs, He Zijun and Yu Tianqing, walk together face to face.

“I say, Village Chief Yu, your Yu Family Village has never won the mining share in previous years. In addition, I heard that your village was attacked by the Golden-Winged Thunderbird not long ago, and many people died. I think this time you should not waste your energy and just admit defeat.”

After saying that, He Zijun looked at Yu Tianqing's arm, which was tightly wrapped in bandages. From the appearance, it was clear that Yu Tianqing's hand was gone.

Yu Tianqing ignored He Zijun's provocation.

"Village Chief He, the people I brought this time are no ordinary people. It's still too early to tell who will win or lose."

He Zijun, however, did not take it seriously.

"Hmph! Stubborn to the end."

Having said that, he flicked his hand, and the two returned to their respective camps. Yu Tianqing walked up to Bai Cheng, his solemn expression speaking volumes.

"Bai Cheng, whether we can get this share of the mine depends on you and Yue Ling."

Bai Cheng nodded.

"Don't worry, village chief. With my current strength, even if the opponent sends someone at the Great Perfection of Body Refinement Realm, I'm confident I can win."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Cheng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if a hunter was watching his prey.

Bai Cheng immediately looked towards the crowd of Hejia Village across the street. He could feel a gaze fixed intently on him.

'Whose feeling is this?'

However, when he scanned the crowd in Hejia Village, he found that the gaze had inexplicably disappeared.

"There was no mistake just now, I definitely sensed killing intent, but I've never been to Hejia Village before, so why would killing intent emanate from the people of Hejia Village?"

Before Bai Cheng could think further, the competition began. Due to the lack of a venue, the two sides began their battle on an open space.

According to the rules of the two villages, only the village chief's son could participate in the first match. He Jinchao was only at the mid-stage of Body Refinement, so he was naturally no match for Yu Qing, who had already reached the late stage of Body Refinement.

So, in no time at all, he was beaten to a pulp by Yu Qing. Soon, with both sides as witnesses, Yu Qing emerged victorious.

When He Jinchao returned to his camp, He Zijun pinched his ear and kicked him to the ground, yelling, "You piece of trash! I told you not to cultivate properly. Look at your sister, she's already been accepted as a disciple by the sect. And look at you!"

After a sound beating, He Jinchao lost face in front of the villagers. This reminded Bai Cheng of the first time he met He Jinchao, when he was just an ordinary person. Now, half a year has passed, and Bai Cheng is now in the late stage of Body Refinement, while He Jinchao is only in the middle stage.

Immediately afterward, the second match began. After discussing it, Bai Cheng and Yue Ling decided that Bai Cheng would go first. The opposing Hejia Village sent out a young man who looked to be only in his early twenties. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he gave off an extraordinary air about him.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qing was also taken aback.

"Who is this person? Why have I never seen him in Hejia Village?"

When Bai Cheng looked in He Zijun's direction, he found him looking completely indifferent, as if his son's failure was already expected. Bai Cheng was somewhat puzzled by this.

'Strange, is Village Chief He so certain they can win? He Jinchao couldn't possibly have kept my abilities a secret from me. Just look at my performance in the Wuling Town competition; most people wouldn't be a match for me.'

Thinking of this, Bai Cheng looked at the person opposite him again and found that the person's expression was normal and did not show any emotion when looking at Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng slowly walked forward.

"Yu Family Village, Baicheng."

However, the person opposite calmly said...

“I know you. You came in second place in the Wuling Town competition.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng was taken aback at first, and then he looked at the other person with a solemn expression, because the strange feeling he felt about the person in front of him was getting stronger and stronger.

"Hejia Village, Zhao Ping!" Immediately afterwards, the young man named Zhao Ping assumed a starting stance.

Seeing this, Bai Cheng didn't waste any words.

'How can you be so calm?'

With that in mind, he also assumed an offensive stance. As the starting signal sounded, Bai Cheng launched the first attack, charging towards Zhao Ping in a single stride.

After more than half a month of training, Bai Cheng was able to skillfully gather the spiritual energy in his body to various parts of his body, and with each of his attacks, his body was accompanied by a surge of spiritual energy.

Bai Cheng delivered a side kick aimed at Zhao Ping's face.

However, to Bai Cheng's surprise, Zhao Ping simply raised his right arm slightly and effortlessly blocked Bai Cheng's attack. Bai Cheng was also shocked. In his attack, he had clearly gathered all the spiritual energy in his body into this kick, but unexpectedly, it was blocked so easily. This meant that the person opposite him must also be proficient in using spiritual energy. Otherwise, let alone someone of the same realm, even someone at the Great Perfection of the Body Refinement Realm would not be able to block it so easily.

Upon seeing this, Bai Cheng's expression hardened, and he quickly threw a punch, launching a fierce attack.

As the moves continued to clash, Bai Cheng was surprised to find that his attacks were completely ineffective against Zhao Ping. No matter which direction he attacked from, Zhao Ping could easily neutralize them.

After a series of attacks, Bai Cheng quickly created distance and then asked...

"Who are you?! Are you really from Hejia Village?"

Bai Cheng's expression grew increasingly serious, because he felt that Zhao Ping in front of him was definitely up to something.
