Throughout history, those who understand the times are the true heroes, and this saying has always been passed down.
Eight years ago, Wei Chen rose to prominence, killing half of the strong members of Privy Hall and shaking its foundations.
However, due to the defensibility of Dinglong Mountain and the numerous armies and formations in place, those in Privy Hall believed that it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for Wei Chen to destroy them. As long as they held their ground, Wei Chen would have no way to deal with Privy Hall.
At that time, the people of Privy Hall were not willing to surrender; they resisted stubbornly, and the outcome was uncertain.
But this time, the situation was vastly different. Eight years had passed, and regardless of whether Wei Chen and his subordinates had improved their strength, the mere presence of those Fifth-Level Deities could completely annihilate Privy Hall.
No matter how strong the defensive formations were, they could not withstand the attacks of hundreds of Fifth-Level Deities.
Wei Chen's intention in bringing those Fifth-Level Deities to Privy Hall was clear: he didn't want their wealth; he simply needed them to casually assist in attacking Privy Hall's formations. That shouldn't be too difficult, right?
For now, Wei Chen did not wish to reveal his true strength; otherwise, he wouldn't need those individuals at all. He could single-handedly slay countless enemies within Privy Hall.
Times had changed; everyone in Privy Hall understood that there was no opportunity left. Those who understood the times were wise enough to surrender.
Moreover, the attitude from the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was evident; the Supreme Deity stood firmly with Wei Chen, leaving no room for hope.
Wei Chen looked at the new Privy Council Master and said lightly, "You seem to understand your situation."
"My lord, we only seek to continue serving Privy Hall under your command. Privy Hall oversees many armies; if you allow us to manage them, we can ensure stability," replied the Privy Council Master.
Wei Chen responded, "From now on, all military authority of Privy Hall will return to Southern Ming Divine Palace. You are to go to Southern Ming Divine Palace immediately and find Elder Li; he will handle your affairs. As for Privy Hall, leave behind a few servants for daily needs. The rest of you have half a day to withdraw completely."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, the Privy Council Master was taken aback. Military power returning to Southern Ming Divine Palace? What significance did it hold for Wei Chen to conquer Privy Hall? Was it merely to reside at Dinglong Mountain?
Privy Hall's greatest wealth lay in its military!
They had initially thought that since Wei Chen and his subordinates were not adept at managing armies, they could continue as influential figures under him. Their status might be diminished somewhat, but they would still hold some power.
However, with Wei Chen sending them to Southern Ming Divine Palace and handing military authority over to the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, their status would plummet significantly.
Nonetheless, surviving was what mattered most.
The Privy Council Master, accompanied by his subordinates, quickly returned to Dinglong Mountain to pack up and left the place in a hurry. Within half a day, all the personnel stationed at Dinglong Mountain from Privy Hall had evacuated, leaving only a few thousand servants behind.
The vast Privy Hall was now empty. Wei Chen, along with his followers—Zhang Yuqing, Zuo Leng, Zhang Yuchu, Gongye Hong, and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity—marched triumphantly into Dinglong Mountain.
Wei Chen delegated the trivial matters to the Ying Qin Supreme Deity while he soared above Dinglong Mountain. Soon, he set up a large Formation Array that could accommodate thousands of people for cultivation.
Outside Dinglong Mountain, the anxious Fifth-Level Deities waited. Upon seeing Wei Chen emerge, they thought that he must have finished accepting Dinglong Mountain and it should be their turn to enhance their strength now.
However, they felt somewhat embarrassed. They had initially planned to engage in battle at Dinglong Mountain to help Wei Chen take down Privy Hall, which would have qualified them to enjoy Wei Chen's formation. Yet, since Privy Hall surrendered outright, they felt cheated. They hadn’t contributed anything; how could they justify enjoying the benefits of the formation?
They all understood that Privy Hall was finished. From now on, there would be no more Privy Hall in the Southern Ming Divine Domain. The military power had shifted to the Southern Ming Divine Palace; all Wei Chen wanted was Dinglong Mountain.
Rumors circulated that a giant dragon slept beneath Dinglong Mountain, though its truth was uncertain.
Could it be that Wei Chen's target was that dragon?
The Fifth-Level Deities whispered among themselves, focusing on what benefits Wei Chen might seek. Since they hadn’t helped him and Privy Hall surrendered on its own, logically they would need to pay some price.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world; after all, no one is a philanthropist who would inexplicably help others enhance their strength.
Although Wei Chen spread the word that there would be no costs involved, it seemed unlikely. The Fifth-Level Deities who came to Dinglong Mountain had some resources of their own. They were prepared and just waiting to see what Wei Chen needed.
Soon enough, Wei Chen flew before the gathered Fifth-Level Deities and proclaimed loudly, “Welcome to Dinglong Mountain! From this moment on, there will be no more Privy Hall in the Southern Ming Divine Domain. Dinglong Mountain will become my base of operations. The name Dinglong Mountain remains unchanged, but my newly established force will be called Starry Sect. I hope you will spread the word; Starry Sect welcomes all strong individuals from the Endless Divine Realm to join us. However, not just anyone can join Starry Sect; being in the Fifth Level Divine Realm is a prerequisite for joining. Moreover, simply being newly promoted to Fifth-Level Deity is not enough; I require those who can directly advance from Fifth Level Divine Realm to Sixth Level Divine Realm!”
“For Young Talents, reaching early Fifth-Level Deity is sufficient.”
Wei Chen then pointed at the colorful formation atop Dinglong Mountain and smiled, “That formation can smoothly elevate those at the Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle Realm to Sixth Level Divine Realm. You’ve traveled far and endured hardships; settle down here at Dinglong Mountain first. Once those Fifth-Level Deities still on their way arrive in numbers, we will begin the enhancement.”
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, the hundreds of Fifth-Level Deities present felt a storm brewing within them.
Starry Sect?
Just that name alone sounded grand and impressive!
Among the gathered Fifth-Level Deities, half were from Major Forces, while the other half consisted of idle cultivators, most of whom had little influence or power.
Perhaps joining the Starry Sect was a good choice?
Under Wei Chen's leadership, hundreds of Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle experts entered Dinglong Mountain.
Dinglong Mountain no longer belonged to the Privy Hall; it was now Wei Chen's own Starry Sect.
The formation that helped the Fifth-Level Deities enhance their strength was intentionally designed by Wei Chen to be colorful and visually appealing. In reality, such flashy elements were merely embellishments meant to create an air of mystery.
The name Starry Sect was also a tribute to the ancestors who established the Stellar Technique in the Ancient World. They had worked hard to create the Stellar Technique, which had once vanished during a period of confusion. However, with its resurgence, it would never fade away again. The Stellar Technique was the foundation of the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System and also Wei Chen's means of survival in the Endless Divine Realm.
Now, Wei Chen fully understood that the Endless Divine Realm and the Ancient World were essentially one family that had merely quarreled. Yet, under external threats, they had to fight. The real threat came from the Bloodshed Shop, which had utilized the Stellar Technique within the Endless Divine Realm. This raised some speculation about his origins from the Ancient World.
But Wei Chen was prepared; he didn't need anyone else to reveal it—he would do it himself.
After all, he himself came from the Ancient World and would find an opportunity to announce it!
The Fifth-Level Deities arrived one after another, and Wei Chen granted them a bit more time, delaying for seven.
After seven, those who could come had mostly arrived. For those still on their way, Wei Chen lost interest in waiting for those who were too slow.
Over one thousand three hundred Fifth-Level Deities came to Dinglong Mountain. Although the number of Fifth-Level Deities in the Endless Divine Realm seemed small on the surface, aside from those from Major Forces, there were many idle cultivators who constituted the main force of this gathering. Those holding important positions within Major Forces did not have as much time to attend. The entire Endless Divine Realm may not seem impressive at first glance, but there were still quite a few hidden strong individuals.
News of Wei Chen establishing the Starry Sect spread quickly throughout the Endless Divine Realm. The requirements for joining were that older individuals needed to be at least at the Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle Realm, which essentially equated to being at the Sixth Level Divine Realm since Wei Chen had the ability to help them advance quickly. For younger individuals, entry could be relaxed to those in the early stages of Fifth-Level Deity due to their limitless potential; they could be given time to grow.
The upper echelons of the Endless Divine Realm speculated about what Wei Chen intended to do.
It was easy to imagine that a large number of Sixth-Level Deities would soon appear within the Starry Sect. Those idle individuals would undoubtedly join on the spot without hesitation.
The Fifth-Level Deities gathered at what used to be Privy Hall's plaza but was now part of Starry Sect, bustling with activity.
In their hands were various Treasures that they believed were quite impressive.
"What have you prepared?" one of them asked. "I have a hundred top-tier Divine Stones!"
"What’s that compared to what I have? I’ve prepared a million-year-old ginseng!"
"Pfft, a bunch of amateurs. I have a Formation Blueprint! That’s my family heirloom! Lord Wei Chen is a Formation Master, and the Formation Blueprint is exactly what he needs."
"Exactly! I was thinking the same thing. I bought an ancient Formation Blueprint at the Jingyun Auction House in the Jingyun Divine Realm, and I'm planning to present it to Lord Wei Chen."
"What’s your Formation Blueprint worth? I have a Man Pill here. Once consumed... heh, you know what I mean..."
"Trash! That thing of yours is just trash! My Formation Blueprint is the best gift."
"Just wait and see how Lord Wei Chen reacts. What you think is impressive might not even catch his eye!"
The group of Fifth-Level Deities debated among themselves. It was impossible not to bring gifts; they were just pondering how much they needed to impress Wei Chen to gain entry into that colorful formation.
Wei Chen overheard their discussions and thought to himself that while he could do without the other items, the Formation Blueprint was essential! You could never have too many Formation Blueprints.
"Everyone, hand over your Formation Blueprints to me, and then you can enter the formation for your breakthrough," Wei Chen said calmly, looking at the gathered Fifth-Level Deities.
The dozens of individuals who possessed Formation Blueprints eagerly handed them over to Wei Chen and flew into the formation for their breakthroughs. The rest were left utterly dumbfounded!
