Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 344 Before the Starry Sky Battle

After the thunder tribulation dissipated, Mo Wuji changed into a blue robe and stood in the starry sky. Shuaiguo, already aware of the situation, scurried over and landed on Mo Wuji's shoulder.

Mo Wuji's gaze swept over the surrounding crowd, but no one stepped forward to speak. Nor did anyone leave immediately, likely wanting to know what Mo Wuji was about to say.

Mo Wuji didn't know if anyone recognized his origins. Even if he was recognized, he didn't care. He was no longer the True Lake Stage cultivator who had to flee. He was now a genuine powerhouse of the Heaven Realm.

Unless a Human Immortal came, no one should even think of ambushing him. How many Human Immortals were there in the world?

"Does anyone have a starry sky orientation sphere they'd be willing to sell me?" Mo Wuji asked calmly.

Upon hearing that Mo Wuji wanted to buy a starry sky orientation sphere, several cultivators produced theirs. One in brown robes even stepped forward, directly offering his crystal orientation sphere to Mo Wuji. "Senior Brother, my starry sky orientation sphere has extremely comprehensive locations. Please, use it."

"Thank you, friend. How many spirit stones for this starry sky orientation sphere?" Mo Wuji said, accepting the sphere.

The brown-robed man hurriedly waved his hand. "It's an honor to lend the orientation sphere to Senior Brother. How could I possibly ask for spirit stones?"

Mo Wuji knew from the man's attitude that giving him spirit stones would only disappoint him.

"Then, thank you, friend. May I ask what your name is?" Mo Wuji nodded, putting away the orientation sphere.

The brown-robed man cupped his fist. "I am Wen Boshi. I am very willing to serve Senior Brother."

"Then I will accept this favor from Brother Wen. Perhaps we will meet again in the future." Mo Wuji thanked him again and, with Shuaiguo, quickly遁 (dun - escaped/fled) into the starry sky and disappeared.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Back then, he had been hunted down. No matter the reason, the root cause was his lack of strength. Now that he had crossed the Void God Stage and reached the first level of the True God Stage, even if someone recognized him as Mo Wuji, they probably wouldn't dare to do anything to him. In this place, strength truly mattered.

After Mo Wuji left, the other cultivators swarmed over. Some who knew Wen Boshi were already congratulating him. Being acquainted with a powerhouse like Mo Wuji, who had defeated Li Xiuran so easily, would definitely be a major advantage in the Starry Sky Hall. Some even regretted being a step behind, allowing Wen Boshi to seize the opportunity.

Wen Boshi modestly exchanged pleasantries. He didn't even need Mo Wuji's actual help. Just the fact that he knew the Number One on the Human Board who had defeated Li Xiuran with ease was enough.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Wen, aren't you worried about Grandmaster Wuxiang? Grandmaster Wuxiang is known for implicating entire clans." Someone immediately poured cold water on him.

Wen Boshi said lightly, "I merely lent a starry sky stone. Why would Grandmaster Wuxiang bother with an ant like me?"

Having heard Wen Boshi's words, the cultivator didn't say anything more.

"This person looks familiar."

"Of course he's familiar. Everyone knows that the Number One rogue cultivator 2705 on the Human Board uses an iron rod."

"No, I think he looks somewhat like that Mo Wuji from a few years ago..."

"Are you talking about the one who killed Yan Yangdong, was wanted by Yan Tong, and was eventually hunted down by the Eight Great Halls, more than ten large sects, dozens of families, and small sects combined?"

"Yes, that's him. Although he no longer has the face of a pretty boy, but a weathered, bearded visage, I still think he resembles him."

"Hehe, you're being too fanciful, aren't you? No matter how strong Mo Wuji was, how could he possibly emerge alive after spending several years in the Extreme Ice Sea? Don't even mention him. Even a True God Stage Completion cultivator, could they emerge from the Extreme Ice Sea alive?"

The cultivator who had recognized Mo Wuji thought about it and decided that he might be mistaken. He had never met Mo Wuji in person. Back then, there was only a simple image description. Now, that image had long been lost.

After all, Mo Wuji was only a True Lake Stage cultivator back then. Even if Mo Wuji had Extreme Ice Spiritual Roots, he would have no chance of survival entering the Extreme Ice Sea below the Human Immortal Stage. Since Mo Wuji was already dead, then the powerhouse who had undergone the tribulation on the Tribulation Stone before them, was not Mo Wuji.

...

Within the entire True Marrow Continent, the Starry Sky Hall was the most important place. This place directly resisted all invasions from the extraterritorial starry sky. Even the large amount of starry sky cultivation resources needed by the True Marrow Continent entered the True Marrow Continent from the Starry Sky Hall.

The Starry Sky Hall also had a Hall Master, but the person who truly held authority was not the Hall Master, but the forces of Star Emperor Mountain, as well as more than ten of the larger sects of the True Marrow Continent.

Seeing that the Half-Moon Immortal Palace, which appeared once every three thousand years, was about to appear again, the Starry Sky Battlefield was even more heavily clouded with war. Almost all of the powerhouses of the True Marrow Continent, including the Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain and the Ten Hall Masters, were gathered at this moment in the Starry Sky Palace, where the Starry Sky Hall held its meetings.

Although the True Marrow Continent had ten armies, and these ten armies were basically under the jurisdiction of Star Emperor Mountain, before every real starry sky battle began, the place where discussions were held was the Starry Sky Palace, and basically all of the larger forces of the True Marrow Continent would participate.

After all, the strong of all forces are present in the ten armies. Even Star Emperor Mountain, as strong as it was, could not cover the sky with one hand.

In the Starry Sky Palace, Star Lord Chi Tong still sat in the seat of honor. The Hall Master of the Starry Sky Hall, Gong Bo, sat below him.

The discussion was coming to an end, and that was that all ten armies should be dispatched for this appearance of the Half-Moon Immortal Palace, and absolutely no extraterritorial cultivators or Starry Sky Beasts should be allowed to enter the Half-Moon Immortal Palace.

It should be known that the Half-Moon Immortal Palace was vast and boundless, and besides the ninety-nine gates, it was full of treasures.

Star Lord Chi Tong looked at the many powerhouses sitting in the Starry Sky Palace and sighed inwardly. Despite the fact that there were so many powerhouses sitting here, their combat strength was not as strong as it seemed on the surface. Whether it was the Ten Great Halls, the Nineteen Great Sects, or even the Three Great Families, none of them were fighting wholeheartedly for the True Marrow Continent.

Before the appearance of the Half-Moon Immortal Palace, everyone was probably thinking about how they could obtain more benefits from it.

"The appearance of this Half-Moon Immortal Palace is related to whether our True Marrow Continent can gain a foothold in this star system in the future. Everyone, I also know that some of you here have Half-Moon Keys. That doesn't matter. As long as the things in the Half-Moon Immortal Palace fall into our True Marrow Continent, that's a good thing. My hope is that, regardless of whether you have a Half-Moon Key or not, everyone must do their best in this Starry Sky War." Chi Tong's voice was somewhat low, but it carried an undeniable tone.

"Star Lord, the Village Master of the Heavenly Pond Mountain Village, Yan Huimeng, has arrived." At the entrance of the Starry Sky Palace, a Void God Stage cultivator reported.

"Please invite Village Master Yan in." Chi Tong nodded, his tone gentle.

Even though they knew that the people from the Heavenly Pond Mountain Village would not participate in this pre-Starry Sky War conference, the Starry Sky Hall still extended an invitation to the Heavenly Pond Mountain Village.

The Heavenly Pond Mountain Village did not participate in the power struggles of the True Marrow Continent, but no one would underestimate the Heavenly Pond Mountain Village.

In the history of the True Marrow Continent, almost the most beautiful women came from the Heavenly Pond Mountain Village. This place was a collection point for beauties.

Moreover, these beautiful women from the Heavenly Pond Mountain Village had all, without exception, married the heads of various forces. Even the Hall Masters here had two Dao partners from the Heavenly Pond Mountain Village. As for the various sects of the True Marrow Continent, they had countless ties with the Heavenly Pond Mountain Village.

Therefore, even though the Heavenly Pond Mountain Village did not participate in any power struggles, it was one of the most powerful places. Even the Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain had to be polite to the Heavenly Pond Mountain Village.

Yan Huimeng walked into the Starry Sky Palace with two disciples, and all the powerhouses in the Starry Sky Palace, who were in the midst of discussing matters, had their eyes lit up.

Yan Huimeng herself was an extremely beautiful woman, but the female disciple beside her could be described as absolutely stunning. Which of those who were sitting here discussing matters was not a powerhouse of the True Marrow Continent? They had seen countless beauties, but they had never seen such a beautiful woman as Zhuang Xiyue.

The Heavenly Pond Mountain Village was indeed famous for producing beauties.

"Heavenly Pond Mountain Village's Yan Huimeng greets Star Lord, greets all Hall Masters, and all Sect Masters. The Starry Sky Palace is discussing matters. I, Heavenly Pond, am a step late. Please forgive me, fellow Daoists." Yan Huimeng bowed extremely naturally to the powerhouses in the Starry Sky Palace. Her etiquette was comprehensive, and her voice was melodious and charming.

The many powerhouses did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Yan Huimeng and returned the greetings one after another. Many people knew that even though the Heavenly Pond Mountain Village was qualified to participate in this kind of discussion, they simply did not involve themselves in the power of the Starry Sky Army. Coming here this time was definitely because of something else, or perhaps it was also because of the Half-Moon Immortal Palace.

"Village Master Yan, please take a seat quickly." Chi Tong had already politely gestured for Yan Huimeng to take a seat.

Yan Huimeng walked to her seat and sat down. Zhuang Xiyue and Qin Qing stood obediently behind her.

"Village Master Yan, we have just decided on this Starry Sky War. I wonder if Village Master Yan has any opinions to add." After Yan Huimeng sat down, Chi Tong said. When he said this, he did not even say how this Starry Sky War was planned. He also knew that Yan Huimeng was not here for the Starry Sky War.

The Heavenly Pond Mountain Village had never been concerned about the Starry Sky War, so he did not need to worry about Yan Huimeng being concerned.

Yan Huimeng quickly said, "Everyone's knowledge is naturally stronger than a woman like me. Since everyone has decided, my Heavenly Pond Mountain Village naturally agrees."

After saying this expected sentence, Yan Huimeng changed the subject, "I want to congratulate Star Lord for taking in a good disciple."

"What do you mean by this?" Chi Tong asked in confusion. After the Starry Sky Conference started, except for those who were qualified to participate in the conference, ordinary trivial matters would not be reported.

Therefore, not only did Chi Tong not know about Lei Hongji taking the first place on the Earth Board, but no one here at the conference knew about it.

Yan Huimeng smiled and said, "Your disciple Lei Hongji is now the first on the Earth Board. I estimate that he will soon be undergoing tribulation and become a true True God Stage powerhouse."

First on the Earth Board? After hearing Yan Huimeng's words, the people in the Starry Sky Palace were shocked.
