Chapter 1748: Essence Sword Starfield


    Within a world of a single solid color, a particr shade of domineering blue, still scribing away in a small silver notebook and a golden feather pen, was a lone figure! This figure would easily be identified by the Ster Paragon of the Mortal Dao as Fuxi!


    The movement of his pen tip froze, and his head lifted as he observed the developments of a world far, far away held within the vast chaotic streams of time.


    "Little One…" His tone was unusuallyplex and emotional, sounding as if he was a teacher gratified by the exceptionalism of his student. After a long while, he continued with a soft whispering voice, "I''m still rooting for you. I do hope that we…meet again…"


    Within the gxy of Utmost Purity, regarded as the foremost authority on the Alchemic Dao within this quadrant of a gxy cluster, it witnessed the birth of an unprecedented figure.


    Unfortunately, the events unfolding within and theck of a set phenomena caused it to go unknown.


    Meanwhile, the events of the recent trifecta celebration and contest for the Knightly Dao Pavilion''s Pavilion Master stayed at the forefront of societal focus, and as the prophecy circted about, including the abrupt withdrawal of certain extraordinary powerhouses of the gxy, the vignce and level of attention was high, but the list of invitations and expectations for the arrival of the majority remainedrgely unchanged from the beginning.


    After all, the Knightly Dao Pavilion''s Pavilion Master Shang might have taught and groomed the foundation of four Sages in his lifetime, but that was not sufficient enough for Enlightened Sages or Supreme Sages to attend any of his three celebrations. Not even the third-ranked Beauty of Catastrophe, Shang Wanqing, could move these existences.


    Wei Wuyin''s disruptive actions had been calmed by the foretold prophecy.


    But would it remain calm for long?


    The Knightly Dao Pavilion was located in the Armored Boon Ster Region''s Essence Sword Starfield. Due to the very nature of the organization, the Knightly Dao Pavilion was like a school, and while they had alumni as Sages in their long history, the pavilion itself did not have a single Sage solely developed and born from it.


    None of the three Sages came from obscure backgrounds. They originally all came from at least a paramount n or organization led by an Original Magistrate. A cultivation at the Heavenly Saint Phase, the sixth stage of the Mystic Ascendant Realm, was by no means weak or insignificant within the Utmost Purity Gxy or anywhere for that matter.


    Unfortunately, the Utmost Purity Gxy heralded alchemists as the pinnacle profession, and pure cultivators could not rule any degree of territory without explicit permission from the residing Utmost Purity Tower of that Gctic Zone.


    The Knightly Dao Pavilion was an example of this. Despite Pavilion Master Shang''s 200,000 years of life, he governed only the Essence Sword Starfield despite his Mystic Overlord cultivation base, while the Armored Boon Ster Region was divided by numerous powers. That said, it was the second-greatest ster region in terms of average cultivation, quality of natural resources, and societal development within the entirety of the Growing Immortality Gctic Zone.


    They were not an organization that thrived with greater territory, and operating out of a starfield suited their specialized needs for thest hundred thousand years. However, they still wielded great authority and prestige.


    Why?


    Because the master of the pavilion was an instructor of Sages! While they might not control a Sage of their own, they had the expected gratitude of these superior experts that cause rainstorms and summon gale winds within the gxy in terms ofmotions.


    Moreover, these Sages were guests to this event!


    The first guest was a former Dao Protector to a Senior Worldly Saint Alchemist, the Searing Star Alchemic Saint, and the current n leader of the Yuchi n—Yuchi Yisang, otherwise known as the Sage Painted Star! The Yuchi n originated within the Growing Immortality Gctic Zone butter moved to the Extracting Divinity Gctic Zone shortly after his departure as a Dao Protector.


    While the drama then wasn''t too impactful on arge scale, especially given the n''s strength with only a single Original Magistrate at the time, hister ascension to the True Sage Phase had shaken both Gctic Zones, and for a brief spell, the Searing Star Alchemic Saint was the butt of numerous jokes amongst alchemists.


    It wasn''t umon for Dao Protectors to be retired, and only Alchemic Knights typically lived, thrived, and withered to the very end with their alchemists due to being nurtured from an infant to adulthood. There were often many reasons to do so, and most of itrgely had to do with defined contracts of offered service expiring. After all, Dao Protectors were often hired guards, sometimes thugs, and that didn''tst forever.


    Yuchi Yiseng was already confirmed to be arriving on the day of the event''s start, elevating themotion by quite a bit. It wasn''t every day that one gets to see or have the chance to interact with a Sage!


    Moreover, whispers were circting that the Searing Star Alchemic Saint would also be there! The drama was already juicy for some.


    The second Sage wasn''t born in the Growing Immortality Gctic Zone either, and their n was forced to flee the Containing Creation Gctic Zone due to a harsh conflict and war, causing the descent of a n that had a Mystic Overlord at its helm and several Original Magistrates to possess a single Original Magistrate securing survival as a refuge.


    They had settled in a different ster region as well, but by paying a high price, the Original Magistrate of the n at the time had sent a few dozen talented juniors of the n to study under the Knightly Dao Pavilion. There were a few sess stories from those juniors, but only one stood out—Zai Yingwen!


    He was known by all as the Sage Avenging Heart!


    After ascending to the Heavenly Saint Phase, he departed from the Knightly Dao Pavilion and moved back to the Containing Creation Gctic Zone, and after entering the Ascended Saint Phase, bing a genuine Mystic Overlord, he ughtered his n''s enemies in an absolutely brutal fashion, wiping them out to thest bloodline.


    At the time, he faced two other Mystic Overlords in violent opposition, yet disyed extraordinary strength by killing one and severely injuring another despite the disadvantage in numbers,ter finding the injured one that fled with their n members and ending their life brutally. The battle was legendary. It was said afterpleting this quest, and returning to his ancestral home, he brought the bones of his enemies to the graves of his parents and ancestors and kneeled in forgiveness for three hundred years.


    After the three hundred years, something exceptional urred, and he ascended to the True Sage Phase right after!


    Thest Sage of the trio was native to the Growing Immortality Gctic Zone. They were, at the time of their enrollment, a mere youngster selected by an Alchemist as an Alchemic Knight-to-be and sent here for nurturing, amon practice that alchemists used, andrgely why organizations like the Knightly Dao Pavilion were heavily respected within the Utmost Purity Gxy. They were nurtured and selected by the current sitting Dean of the Azure Rain Alchemic Saint, who was, at the time, just an Earthly Saint Alchemist and an instructor within the Azure Blossom Academy, an all-female Alchemist organization.


    Her name was Sui Yuan, otherwise known as Sage Moonrise.


    She wasn''t the only female Sage born from the Knightly Dao Pavilion as they had a total of four, but only three were still alive, and the other was a female Sage and the first to have ascended. Moreover, due to her upation, she didn''t have any fantastical story andrgely rode the wave of rising prominence that the Azure Blossom Academy had while both it and the Azure Rain Alchemic Saint elevated. The former became an Institute while thetter became a Senior Worldly Saint Alchemist from a Junior Earthly Saint Alchemist!


    All three were prominent figures with great connections. Yuchi Yiseng caused the participation of a few prestigious organizations of the Extracting Divinity Gctic Zone, expanding the list of invited individuals to those within that gctic zone, including the expectations of gifts. Zai Yingwen brought in those from the Containing Creation Gctic Zone, including many prominent alchemists and experts. Sui Yuan was a native, but the Azure Blossom Institute and Azure Rain Alchemic Saint''s status within the gctic zone was extraordinary, exceeding the Sea & Sky Institute.


    After all, it was a top-three Institute throughout the zone!


    The day before the event began, the Essence Sword Starfield was filled with enormous activity, with manying unqualified to attend the ceremonies and contest directly, yet they were willing to present gifts, and thereby be treated as guests and humored to an extent.


    Moreover, many of these individuals present were opportunists who wanted to enjoy the uing show or catch a glimpse of the third-ranked beauty that was said to be able to induce a catastrophe with her very existence! The gxy was expansive, and an uncountable amount of individuals never got a chance to leave their, fewer left their starfield, and even fewer left their ster region.


    This was a great opportunity for either themselves or their juniors to expand their horizons by paying a price! Who knows…their destiny might change altogether.


    Quite a few juniors were hoping to catch the eye of the hot topic, the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Saint, and be an Alchemic Knight. Some would settle for bing a mere servant. If the San n Ancestor of the Everlore Starfield was any indicator, a mere servant could be a ruler under the right alchemist, even if they only received their dregs. While those of the opposite gender of various ages were dreaming of riding thep of a dragon to see unprecedented scenes!


    Wei Wuyin was on the Outer-Creation King Ranking and Heroes of Luminosity Rankings, especially thetter which was graded on external looks and presence! He was already a bachelor that wasn''t a bachelor to these bright-eyed, dream-filled women.


    On thest day before the event began, there was no news of Wei Wuyin''s movements, and the saber light protecting the Original Dawn Pce remained. Hao Chengxue was absentmindedly gazing at the pce. The grade two mist had stopped a few days ago.


    He wondered if Wei Wuyin was going to rely on that Star Bridge Disc of his to make his way to the Knightly Dao Pavilion. As a Hall Manager of a Utmost Purity Tower tethered to a Zenith Tower, he wouldn''t directly participate in that event, only send a proxy. As for sending an Incarnation? Unless he was an Enlightened Sage, a Supreme Sage, or an Exalted Worldly Saint Alchemist, that would be seen as a show of disrespect.


    It was a little unfortunate, but there were certain unsaid rules to follow, and if he went, he would be representing the Zenith Growth Tower given he had no personal connection to the Knightly Dao Pavilion or Pavilion Master Shang, and they already sent an envoy. It would be utterly ridiculous to double up on that.


    Unbeknownst to Hao Chengxue, Wei Wuyin hadn''t just achieved an unprecedented feat, but he was…


    Within the Original Dawn Pce, Wei Wuyin stared at his palms, now fully clothed. The azure pill was gone.


    No—if one looked closer, the damage to the alchemical chamber was far more intensive than before.


    Meanwhile, Bai Xiu was the size of a baby mouse, sitting atop Wei Wuyin''s shoulder, but her form was incredibly lifelike. She had undergone a qualitative change while endlessly nomming on a wad of seven-colored mist in one hand and drinking from a spherical drop of seven-colored liquid in the other.


    How could Wei Wuyin only run it once? He had to make three other transcendent Neo-Dawn World-Eclipsing Pills for the others despite the risk. Bai Xiu didn''t even frown upon doing so.


    "I didn''t expect it to have this effect…" Wei Wuyin mused as he desired to test his power. With this development, his confidence in entering the Treasured Vale Gxy had skyrocketed!


    Suddenly, a priority message was sent by Yue Songli.


    "I…want to go to the trifecta event!" She seemed to have mustered her courage to ask this, and her voice was quite cute as she indirectly informed Wei Wuyin to not miss the event.


    Wei Wuyin chuckled to himself, but then he was a little confused. Why would Yue Songli of all people be interested in going to this location? This wasn''t part of his two-year date''s promises. It was too small.


    He decided to conclude his cultivation and concoction session.


    Then, his expression was a little awkward. He realized that after his mystic transcendent concoctions, his two cauldrons would be unusable until they repaired themselves. Bai Xiu could only take three, while the other cauldron barely took one.


    It should be fine.
