“Senior, if you know, please tell me.”
Chu Feng asked again.
The faction he was inquiring about was the one that forcibly took Yin Zhuanghong that day.
Chu Feng desperately wanted to know their origins, so that if he had the chance in the future, he could investigate Yin Zhuanghong’s situation.
If she was doing well, that was fine.
But if she wasn’t, Chu Feng would not stand idly by.
“Chu Feng, how much do you know about the structure of the Holy Light Galaxy?” Long Daozhi asked instead of answering directly.
“I’m ignorant and only know that the Holy Light Galaxy has ninety-six star regions,” Chu Feng replied honestly. “Of which, ten are Abandoned Star Regions, fifty are Lower Star Regions, thirty are Middle Star Regions, and six are Upper Star Regions. As for which forces rule these regions, I don’t know. To be frank, I only just learned about the Dragon Clan’s prominence.”
“You haven’t been back in the Upper Realm for long,” Long Daozhi said. “In the Lower Realm, information is scarce, so it’s normal not to know. But as someone in the Holy Light Galaxy, it’s beneficial to understand its structure.”
“The Upper Star Regions represent the strongest forces in the Holy Light Galaxy. The Holy Light Clan, residing in the Holy Light Star Region, is the undisputed overlord of the entire galaxy. No one dares challenge their authority, not even the other five Upper Star Regions combined.”
“However, the other five Upper Star Regions are also extremely powerful, second only to the Holy Light Clan. They are:
– The Dragon Clan, ruling the Totem Star Region.
– The Yu Heavenly Clan, ruling the Heavenly Vein Star Region.
– The Demon Clan Temple, ruling the Demon Clan Star Region.
– And then there’s the Wolong Star Region and the Death Star Region.
“The Death Star Region is unique, lacking a true ruler. It’s a gathering place for the galaxy’s rogue cultivators, but their strength earns it a place among the Upper Star Regions. The Wolong Star Region is even more mysterious. Their people are rarely seen in the Holy Light Galaxy, mostly staying within their region, which strictly forbids outsiders. Except for the Holy Light Clan, who can visit directly, no one else is allowed entry. Trespassers are killed without mercy. The region itself is secretive, constantly shifting its location and guarded by powerful concealment forces. It’s said that, aside from the Holy Light Clan and Wolong Star Region’s own people, few can find its location.”
“So, the Wolong Star Region also lacks a clear ruler?” Chu Feng asked.
“No, it has a ruler, and the entire region is controlled by a single force: the Wolong Martial Sect,” Long Daozhi replied.
“The Wolong Martial Sect sounds like a sect’s name,” Chu Feng noted.
“It is indeed a sect,” Long Daozhi confirmed.
“If it’s a sect, shouldn’t it recruit disciples widely? Why is it so secretive?” Chu Feng asked.
“That’s the key question. The Wolong Martial Sect’s mystery lies in the fact that you can’t join it voluntarily. Only those it invites can enter. Even exceptional talent doesn’t guarantee acceptance; they have a unique way of selecting disciples. I’ve also heard that those chosen by the sect must join, whether they’re willing or not,” Long Daozhi said.
“Are you saying they’re forcibly taken if they refuse?” Chu Feng asked with a smile.
“Though unconfirmed, there are indeed such rumours in the Holy Light Galaxy,” Long Daozhi replied.
“That’s a bit too domineering, isn’t it?” Chu Feng frowned, his impression of the Wolong Martial Sect souring. He despised martial cultivators who used their power to coerce others.
“So, are the ones in white robes with swirling clouds the Wolong Martial Sect?” Chu Feng asked, recalling Yin Zhuanghong’s forced abduction.
“No, no, I’m telling you about these five forces to give you an overview of the Holy Light Galaxy’s structure and to let you know which forces are the most powerful. Your temperament is fiery, and you might offend others. But remember, aside from the Holy Light Clan, these five forces are absolutely not to be crossed,” Long Daozhi warned. “Oh, and there’s one more force you mustn’t provoke: the one you mentioned, the Cloudsky Immortal Sect.”
“The Cloudsky Immortal Sect? That’s the force with the white robes?” Chu Feng asked.
“Based on your description, it should be them. Only they wear such attire,” Long Daozhi confirmed.
“Senior, what’s the origin of this Cloudsky Immortal Sect?” Chu Feng pressed eagerly.
He wasn’t concerned about the Dragon Clan, Demon Clan Temple, Yu Heavenly Clan, Wolong Martial Sect, or Death Star Region. His focus was solely on the force that took Yin Zhuanghong.
Through Long Daozhi’s explanation, Chu Feng finally learned about the Cloudsky Immortal Sect.
Among the thirty Middle Star Regions, the strongest was the Feiyun Star Region, widely acknowledged as second only to the Upper Star Regions due to its dominant force, the Dao Sword Immortal Sect.
But recently, the Feiyun Star Region had a new overlord. The Dao Sword Immortal Sect had been defeated by the Cloudsky Immortal Sect, a previously obscure force that shocked the Holy Light Galaxy by rising to prominence.
This news had initially spread among major forces before reaching the public, which explained why most were unfamiliar with the Cloudsky Immortal Sect.
What was certain was that they were powerful, though their exact strength was unknown. They undoubtedly had Martial Venerable Realm experts.
“Chu Feng, the Cloudsky Immortal Sect is unfathomably deep. After lying low for years with grand ambitions, their emergence isn’t just about defeating the Dao Sword Immortal Sect and dominating the Feiyun Star Region. Their goal is likely to elevate the Feiyun Star Region to Upper Star Region status. But achieving that is no easy feat unless they truly possess such strength. So, if you’re just curious about them, that’s fine, but do not provoke them,” Long Daozhi cautioned earnestly.
“Senior, don’t worry. I only saw them before and have no grudges. Their grand presence made me curious, that’s all,” Chu Feng said with a smile.
He didn’t tell the truth, fearing Long Daozhi would stop him from confronting the Cloudsky Immortal Sect.
Long Daozhi, cautious as he was, asked where Chu Feng had seen them. But Chu Feng, intent on concealing his intentions, answered flawlessly.
In the end, Long Daozhi was convinced Chu Feng was merely curious and relaxed.
But Chu Feng’s heart was stirred.
Though he’d known the force that took Yin Zhuanghong was formidable, he hadn’t expected them to be this powerful.
According to Long Daozhi, even if the Cloudsky Immortal Sect wasn’t on par with the Dragon Clan, Wolong Martial Sect, Yu Heavenly Clan, or Demon Clan Temple, it was very close.
“It seems like quite a challenge,” Chu Feng thought, a ripple in his heart.
Though stirred, he felt no fear, only excitement.
Throughout his journey, the forces blocking his path had all seemed like giants to the former him.
Yet, those so-called giants had all been trampled underfoot by Chu Feng.
Many had become mere ants in his eyes.
The mountains that once stood before him were now as insignificant as dust.
The Cloudsky Immortal Sect would be no exception.
Chu Feng’s journey was not limited to the Holy Light Galaxy but spanned the entire vast martial world.
…
Unbeknownst to Chu Feng, after they left Purple Star Hall, a calamity was quietly descending upon it…
