Chapter 716 Seven Stars Gather

"Father Venerable Bao Fengxi listened and swore he would keep the secret. Afterward, Mother Venerable Feng Lixi expressed her feelings, and after a few intimate days, they left the space.

"Upon leaving, Mother Venerable Feng Lixi found War Venerable Xuanyuan Tian and Heaven Venerable Xi Zhihe and confessed her love for Father Venerable Bao Fengxi.

"War Venerable Xuanyuan Tian and Heaven Venerable Xi Zhihe were both furious and enraged. They found Father Venerable Bao Fengxi and, joining forces, beat him up. Afterward, the three drank together for a day and a night, their brotherhood stronger than ever.

"A thousand years later, Mother Venerable Feng Lixi discovered she was pregnant, and all nine of them were overjoyed. However, not long after, Mother Venerable Feng Lixi realized that the Chaos Spirit Treasure was missing.

Zi Linling asked in shock, "Missing? Where did it go?"

Zhan Lan Xinghun smiled and said, "Mother Venerable Feng Lixi and Father Venerable Bao Fengxi searched the entire space upside down, but they couldn't find any trace of it.

"As a last resort, the two had to inform the other seven of the Chaos Spirit Treasure, asking for their help in searching.

"Upon hearing this, the seven were greatly alarmed and immediately split up, searching the entire Zhan Lan Star. However, they didn't even see a shadow of the Chaos Spirit Treasure.

"What could be done? The Chaos Spirit Treasure, with its power to destroy heaven and earth, would endanger the entire Zhan Lan Star if it fell into the hands of those with ill intentions.

"Finally, the nine had no choice but to join forces and use the 'Tracing Back to the Origin' grand technique, returning to the past through a spacetime channel to track the Chaos Spirit Treasure.

"However, this brought trouble. The spacetime channel flowed in reverse, and people from the future returning to the past immediately caused chaos in the spacetime channel.

"When they returned from the past, they found that Zhan Lan Star had been occupied by demons.

Zi Linling asked doubtfully, "Senior Zhan Lan Xinghun, where did those demons come from?"

Zhan Lan Xinghun replied, "The spacetime channel!"

"The spacetime channel?" Zi Linling was even more confused.

Zhan Lan Xinghun nodded and said, "When spacetime became chaotic, it briefly opened a passage between the Demon Realm and Zhan Lan Star. Some demons, caught completely off guard, were swept into Zhan Lan Star by the spacetime channel.

"Oh! What happened afterward?" Zi Linling asked.

"The Nine Great Guardians quickly searched for the source of the demonic energy and soon found several demons. The cultivation of those demons was generally higher than that of the native cultivators of Zhan Lan Star. There were even eighteen demons whose cultivation was on par with the Nine Great Guardians.

"Those demons plundered, killed, and committed all sorts of evil deeds on Zhan Lan Star. The Nine Great Guardians were enraged and led the cultivators of Zhan Lan Star into a great battle against the demons.

"Unexpectedly, those demons possessed incredibly strong regenerative abilities. As long as they weren't completely annihilated, they could instantly revive.

"Fortunately, the Nine Great Guardians were personally trained by the Ancestral God, so the weaker demons were quickly wiped out, leaving only the eighteen powerful ones. However, this level of combat was no longer something ordinary cultivators could participate in.

"To avoid unnecessary casualties, the Nine Great Guardians set up a Chaos Grand Formation in Jiyue Mountain and then lured these eighteen demons to Jiyue Mountain to engage them in a fierce battle.

"That battle was so intense that the heavens darkened and the sun and moon changed color. The entire Jiyue Mountain was turned into a deep pit.

"In the end, the Nine Great Guardians borrowed the guardian power of Zhan Lan Star to defeat the eighteen demons. However, since they couldn't be annihilated, the Nine Great Guardians used the Chaos Grand Formation to seal them within the deep pit.

"This deep pit is the sealed land I mentioned earlier. To prevent anyone from accidentally entering the sealed land, the Nine Great Guardians used their supreme divine power to move a mountain peak and bury the sealed land beneath it.

"Of course, the Nine Great Guardians paid an extremely heavy price for this great battle. Mother Venerable Feng Lixi's pregnancy was affected, damaging the foundation of the fetus in her womb, and she eventually gave birth to a baby girl.

"Father Venerable Bao Fengxi was also severely injured and fell into a deep slumber. The other seven guardians, except for Formation Venerable Wan Yan Lie, were all injured to varying degrees.

Zi Linling asked excitedly, "What happened next?"

Zhan Lan Xinghun shook his head and said, "As for what happened later, you will know when the time is right. What you need to do now is to go to the sealed land before the full moon night. Otherwise, if the demons inside escape, the entire Zhan Lan Star will be in danger!"

"Full moon night?" Zi Linling exclaimed in shock.

Zhan Lan Xinghun nodded and said, "That's right! It's the full moon night! This full moon night is also the day of the convergence of the Seven Stars."

"What is the convergence of the Seven Stars? And what does it have to do with the sealed land?" Zi Linling asked, confused.

Zhan Lan Xinghun explained, "The so-called convergence of the Seven Stars does not literally refer to seven stars, but rather to the balance between the power of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, and yang in heaven and earth being broken, causing energy tides.

"And when this energy tide erupts, the seven types of energy wandering in heaven and earth will be drawn into it. At this time, whether cultivators or treasures, it will be almost impossible to absorb energy to empower themselves, and the Chaos Grand Formation is no exception.

"If it were the peak period of the Chaos Grand Formation, even if the Seven Stars converged, the Chaos Grand Formation could maintain the seal by relying on its own energy, even without absorbing energy.

"However, after hundreds of thousands of years of consumption, the energy in the Chaos Grand Formation has been depleted, and it must rely on the energy supply from heaven and earth to barely maintain the operation of the seal.

"Therefore, once it reaches the day of the Seven Stars convergence, the energy in heaven and earth will be stripped away, and the Chaos Grand Formation will lose its energy supply and enter its weakest period.

"At that time, the demons sealed inside will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity to assault the Chaos Grand Formation, attempting to break the seal. If the seal is broken and the demons escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zi Linling said helplessly, "Senior, if that's the case, what can I do by going there?"

Zhan Lan Xinghun shook his head and said, "You are mistaken! Only you have the potential to prevent everything from happening."

"Me?"

Zi Linling smiled self-deprecatingly, "Senior, aren't you overestimating me?"

Zhan Lan Xinghun shook his head again and said seriously, "No! Besides you, no one else can do it!"

Zi Linling paused and asked, "Why?"

Zhan Lan Xinghun replied, "Because what is about to happen in the sealed land has a great connection to you!"

"A great connection to me?"

Zi Linling was dumbfounded. "Senior, how is that possible? I don't even know where the sealed land is!" Su Dan Novel Network

Zhan Lan Xinghun smiled and said, "Child, do you still remember Mo Qingcheng?"

"Mo Qingcheng?"

Zi Linling became even more confused. "Why would Senior suddenly ask about this person?"
