Chapter 876: Hidden Thought!

Killing and capturing had vastly different meanings to Wang Baole . He was very clear that the Violet Gold civilization didn’t prioritize the three greater sects but the places to enter the Graveyard of Stars . As long as he didn’t ruin their plans, other things could be discussed after he captured them .

Such a method was still quite gentle . It seemed to be high-risk, but if carried out properly and if the second wave of teleportation was delayed, there was a high possibility of success .

But if he killed them…

Killing the entire royal family is akin to messing with the Violet Gold civilization’s plans . And for me, because of the incident in the imperial cemetery, I’ve already been exposed, and it’s highly possible that the Violet Gold civilization has targeted me . That’s despite me not knowing about the Fallen Star mark and definitely not having that mark . Wang Baole pondered . He was about to speak when he saw the corner of the Sovereign Patriarch’s mouth with a sweeping glance . After he saw a profound smile, his heart jolted .

That old fox, he was trying to test me just now! Wang Baole understood that he had fallen into a trap . The Sovereign Patriarch obviously knew about the transaction between the Violet Gold civilization and the royal family regarding the Graveyard of Stars . At the same time, he also had some suspicions towards Wang Baole . So he used the word kill to test his reaction!

If he agreed, it would mean that he didn’t have much connection to the royal family . But his hesitation and pondering just now was equivalent to directly telling the Sovereign Patriarch about his connection to the incident in the imperial cemetery . Although he didn’t decide to completely hide it previously, getting found out like that made Wang Baole feel very uncomfortable in his heart .

It looks like all of his words today were said to dig this answer out of me! Wang Baole humphed in his heart .

The Sovereign Patriarch obviously noticed Wang Baole’s unhappiness as he narrowed his eyes slightly . Since he didn’t hide his profound smile previously, he obviously had no intention to continue testing Wang Baole . Instead, he spoke slowly .

“After killing everyone in the royal family, there’s another benefit . That is, the right to control the Eye of the Eternal Star… might appear in your hands!” As he said that, his pupils shrunk lightly as he looked closely at Wang Baole as though he took this matter very seriously .

It wasn’t difficult to see why he took it seriously . To a certain extent, one could say the Eye of the Eternal Star was a super teleportation array formation . Once they obtained the right to control this teleportation array formation, the three greater sects could attack and retreat at will in battle . They could control it such that their enemies couldn’t use it to teleport in while they could use it to escape from their enemies’ pursuit . In fact, according to the strength of the teleportation, it was highly possible to teleport planets after paying a certain price .

All these thoughts appeared in Wang Baole’s mind instantly . At the same time, he was in a bit of a trance as he understood why the patriarch tested him . It seemed to be due to the right to control the Eternal Star .

So he sighed in his heart . He couldn’t help but admit that the Sovereign Patriarch was extremely sly and thought things through extremely thoroughly . It was extremely scary!

That was because controlling the Eye of the Eternal Star was only Wang Baole’s guess . He felt that he might be able to do it, but he hadn’t tried it before . So, he decided that there was no point in hiding it as he spoke calmly .

“I can’t guarantee that . But we’ve already come to this point . I support this battle!”

The Sovereign Patriarch took a deep look at Wang Baole as though he was analyzing the truthfulness of Wang Baole’s words . The expression he displayed was like this too . Even though Wang Baole couldn’t notice it, what he was thinking of in his heart wasn’t the right to control the Eternal Star at all!

No one knew exactly what he was thinking except himself . So, after displaying a look that showed he was thinking to ensure that Wang Baole didn’t see through his plans, he took out a jade slip and contacted the Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch . It seemed like they were discussing the answer they dug out from Wang Baole .

Wang Baole stood at one side and was also thinking about what happened today . Wang Baole hadn’t met many occasions where he was in a passive position as he engaged in a battle of wits and tongues in his life . Hence, he had to analyze the reason it happened .

But he didn’t analyze for long before the Sovereign Patriarch put down the jade slip . When he raised his head, a sense of decisiveness and strictness flashed across his eyes .

“Fellow Daoist Little Long, no matter if you can control the Eye of the Eternal Star or not, the battles require its activation . When that time comes, everyone in our two greater sects will be mobilized . I’ll lead our forces together with the Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch to distract the main force of the Heavenly Spirit Sect . Would you be willing to lead a team of elites from both sects to complete the mission with all your might and obtain the right to control the Eye of the Eternal Star?”

“If you’re willing, this should be done as soon as possible . After three days… the battle will restart!”The Sovereign Patriarch took a deep breath, and when he looked towards Wang Baole, his eyes were full of sincerity . What he said was to complete the mission with all their might but not to kill or capture . This was obviously not a grammatical error but an obvious hint to Wang Baole to make his own decision .

That way, he could express his sincerity . Wang Baole narrowed his eyes . Although he was in a passive situation today, no matter what, the plan progressed almost completely according to his plan in the end . Therefore, a glimmer flashed between his eyes as he nodded and left .

After returning to his home, Wang Baole sat there cross-legged . As the entire sect prepared for battle, he was still thinking about his war of words with the Sovereign Patriarch .

From start to finish, after a thorough analysis, it didn’t seem like much, but very quickly, Wang Baole’s eyes stared wide as his breathing quickened slightly .

That’s not right!

When I rescued the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect back then, the signs I showed were already very obvious . Whether it was the twelve emperor puppets, the souls, or my cultivation techniques… I didn’t think to hide it and had no way to do so . Thus, the Sovereign Patriarch didn’t need to test me at all!

Then why did he still test me? Was it really to prove whether I had the right to control the Eye of the Eternal Star, or… was it for other reasons?

Wang Baole felt that there was something wrong with the patriarch’s actions, and his instincts told him that the patriarch seemed to do it on purpose to mess with his thoughts . He could then disperse his train of thought and make him ignore the core, thereby hiding his true intentions .

It was just that no matter how Wang Baole pondered, he couldn’t find the answer . But he became extremely cautious . Just like that, three days passed in a flash .

To other civilizations, preparing for a battle in three days would be quite a rush, but the Divine Eye civilization’s specialty was going out to pillage like bandits . Because of that, they were quite specialized in mobility . Therefore, after the Sovereign Patriarch and the Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch gave the orders, the two greater sects got to work .

After three days, they seemed to all head straight for the Eternal Star like hornets from a nest!

Looking from afar, all of the army cultivators were standing at attention and ready for battle on the Sovereign Planet . Wang Baole was also among them . As for Zhao Yameng, she was put into a Dharmic Battleship by Wang Baole and placed inside his storage bag .

Very quickly, as the army activated the teleportation array formations, the light of teleportation spread throughout the sky on the Sovereign Planet . The light instantly spread in the world in front of Wang Baole, and the surrounding satellites were like this as well . The cosmos in the surroundings also had special battleships surrounding them . The purpose of every battleship was to burn themselves and unleash their maximum power to augment the teleportation . That was because the Sovereign Patriarch didn’t want to simply teleport the army . He also wanted to teleport… the Sovereign Planet and the seven satellites surrounding it!

Every satellite was a battle fortress . Their activation obviously represented that the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect had decided to go all out!

As rumbles sounded and as the battleships surrounding the Sovereign Planet dispersed resplendent light, a wave of intense teleportation disturbance swept the surroundings . Looking from afar, an indescribable light engulfed the entire Sovereign Planet . It was as though a giant hand of light came from the void and wiped the Sovereign Planet from where it was in the cosmos . As the light shone and as deafening rumbles sounded, the Sovereign Planet, its surrounding satellites, and the cultivator army all disappeared instantly .

There was only… the debris from the surrounding battleships that collapsed after unleashing all their power to augment the teleportation left . Because the Sovereign Planet disappeared, they were pulled and gathered there .

At the same time, a similar scene was happening at the Violet Gold New Dao Sect . The Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch made the same decision as the Sovereign Patriarch, as they reached a consensus . So the Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s planets were teleported now . In the next moment… in the public area of the Divine Eye civilization, and at a place not far away from the Eternal Star, as light shone, the two greater sects appeared at the same time!

Over a million cultivators, including hundreds of Soul Conduits, over ten Spirit Immortals, and the two patriarchs, gathered their strength there . To a certain extent, they were already considered very powerful . But compared to the Heavenly Spirit Sect, they were still lacking .

But the good thing was… because the left-hand elder was heavily injured, even though he recovered, his cultivation dropped from the Planet realm . Even though there was a way to increase it temporarily, it couldn’t be sustained . At most, he could only have half the combat strength of a Planet realm .

As for the right-hand elder, although his injuries weren’t as serious, he was no longer at the peak of his power . So, under the analysis of the Sovereign Patriarch and Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch, they still had a chance to win .

And their mission wasn’t to really fight to the death with the Heavenly Spirit Sect but to… delay them as much as possible to buy time for the team Wang Baole led . Because… where they were was key to whether they would succeed .

So, after the two sects gathered, as the Sovereign Patriarch and the Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch stepped out and looked at each other, they also looked at Wang Baole, who was among the cultivators in the army, together .

The gazes of the three of them met . To prevent unnecessary accidents from happening, they didn’t spread their Divine Will or speak . Instead, after they retracted their gazes one after the other, the Sovereign Patriarch and the Violet Gold New Dao Sect’s patriarch charged out like a sword tip . They led the combined forces of the two sects as they headed straight for… the Eternal Star!
