Chapter 960: Chapter 384: Must Not Be Lost
Xu Jin didn’t pursue them, there were too many, it wasn’t necessary.
Chasing those humans earlier had a reason, because these humans were either followers of the Baidou Divine Sect or the trusted followers of Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce, perhaps they had special means of communication.
If something went wrong, and Marquis Yangdu Chai Ce got wind of it beforehand and blocked the Galaxy Channel, it would be troublesome.
With vast Divine Soul power radiating, Xu Jin began searching and drawing in the Sumeru Space of Lv Shu Ning and Star Officer Deng Ruixiang, to see if there was any gain.
Of course, the greatest gain would still be the vast Divine Soul power stored within the Star Battle Divine Statue.
*****
In the Seventh-Order Chaotic Star Domain.
Accurately speaking, now it should be inside the Divine Sect Cave Heaven of the Baidou Divine Sect, the newly appointed Vermilion Bird True Man was continuously enhancing his cultivation using the vast Star Power brought by the expansion of the Divine Sect Cave Heaven, vigorously pushing his cultivation towards the middle stage of the seventh-tier.
In hopes of having the opportunity to break through to the eighth-tier in the future.
While fully focusing on enhancing cultivation, the Vermilion Bird Seal suspended above Vermilion Bird True Man suddenly trembled, and one of the five beams of starlight surrounding the Vermilion Bird Seal abruptly shattered and dissipated.
At the same moment, drawn by this, Vermilion Bird True Man experienced intense pain in his Divine Soul and suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood under the mental strain.
This act immediately drew the attention of the high-ranking members present from the Baidou Divine Sect, their gazes sharply focused on the newly appointed Vermilion Bird True Man.
Vermilion Bird True Man was well aware of what was happening.
Within the teachings of the Baidou Divine Sect, under his seat were originally seven Star Official Seals, but due to various reasons, one was lost.
Later, his predecessor lost one and became a sacrifice.
He then became the new Vermilion Bird True Man, and after it was passed on to him, he only governed five Star Official Seals.
But now, with one beam of starlight suddenly fragmented, it indicated that the Vermilion Bird Mark inside one Star Official Seal was shattered, which also meant that the Star Official Seal was lost.
Having just been appointed, he lost a Star Official Seal.
And it was lost within the Star Domain.
How could he possibly retrieve it in this vast Star Domain?
His predecessor had become a sacrifice because he couldn’t retrieve the lost Star Seal, and his sacrificial ashes were still drifting in the wind, not fully dissipated yet.
Now, he had lost one too!
Under numerous stares, the newly appointed Vermilion Bird True Man almost burst into tears.
How could he have such bad luck?
He hadn’t even warmed the seat of the Vermilion Bird True Man yet.
Frightened as he was, facing the inquiring look from the Sect Hierarch, Vermilion Bird True Man still rose and knelt down, "Dear Sect Hierarch, this subordinate is also unclear of the reason, while cultivating, the Vermilion Bird Mark inside a Star Official Seal suddenly dissipated, losing all connection completely.
It seems to be lost!"
"Another Star Official Seal is lost? Quickly check which one! Is the Star Officer alive!"
To the Baidou Divine Sect, the Star Official Seal is the foundation of foundations, with it, countless nutrients can be delivered to the sect, it is inherently very important.
Now, just after guiding down the Divine Dao True Intent of the Star Battle True God, each Star Official Seal received a piece.
If it’s lost, the loss would be tremendous!
The Divine Dao True Intent, even the amount distributed to the Sect Hierarch himself, was only five percent.
Now, directly losing one percent, what a tremendous loss!
In an instant, all high-ranking members of the Baidou Divine Sect sprang into action, especially Execution True Monarch and Vermilion Bird True Man.
In a matter of tens of breaths, the result was out.
"Star Officer Deng Ruixiang? The Lanshan Star Domain, the Star Officer Deng Ruixiang who collaborated with Hidden True Monarch Chai Ce, his Seal is lost, his aura is gone, the Star Officer has fallen?"
In an instant, everyone recalled the previous issues related to Star Officer Deng Ruixiang.
"Sect Hierarch, since it was lost within the Lanshan Star Domain, this Star Official Seal is still in the Lanshan Star Domain, should we notify Hidden True Monarch Chai Ce to handle this matter?" Execution True Monarch suggested.
"Sect Hierarch, I find it inappropriate! According to Star Officer Deng Ruixiang’s report, the strongest in the Lanshan Star Domain is a Special Envoy sent by Hidden True Monarch Chai Ce and his subordinates, their strength far surpassing Star Officer Deng Ruixiang!
If something happens within the Star Domain, we have reason to suspect that it might have been Hidden True Monarch Chai Ce’s doing." Five Directions True Monarch said.
"The reason?"
"It’s very simple, the benefits of the Divine Dao True Intent guiding were not shared with those Hidden True Monarchs.
And those Hidden True Monarchs are mostly stuck at the Ninth Layer Peak of the seventh-tier.
Should they obtain the Divine Dao True Intent, the likelihood of breakthrough would be very high.
It’s highly possible that the Star Officer Deng Ruixiang inadvertently leaked the information, sparking Hidden True Monarch Chai Ce’s interest." Five Directions True Monarch said.
"This is possible."
"Sect Hierarch, Hidden True Monarchs are extremely important to our sect, it’s not easy to turn against them." Execution True Monarch said.
"I know.
But we must find out who did it.
The Star Official Seal itself cannot be lost, nor can the Divine Dao True Intent!
It must be found!"
In the next moment, the Sect Hierarch of the Baidou Divine Sect suddenly urged the Star Battle Divine Seal suspended above his head to sense it.
A few breaths later, the eyes of the Sect Hierarch of the Baidou Divine Sect opened, suddenly saying, "I can sense that the Divine Statue of that Star Domain is still there, as well as the Divine Dao Fragment. If the Divine Dao Fragment is activated, I can channel part of my power over, perhaps I can uncover the truth, and if I can successfully borrow the power within the Divine Statue, I can easily kill the plunderers."
Upon hearing this, Vermilion Bird True Man finally let out a sigh of relief.
With the Sect Hierarch taking action, the Star Official Seal can indeed be retrieved.
He wouldn’t need to become a sacrifice.
But Execution True Monarch, who was beside him, advised, "Sect Hierarch, think twice!"
"Indeed, this matter is of great importance, Sect Hierarch, think carefully." Five Directions True Monarch said, "The Sect Hierarch’s identity has always been secretive, doing this could expose your aura and identity.
Moreover, it will risk exposing our sect’s foundational Divine Dao Fragment!
Losing one fragment means one less Divine Statue our sect can erect!"
Facing opposition from these two True Monarchs, the Sect Hierarch of the Baidou Divine Sect, who had just broken through to the Ninth Tier, showed slight displeasure on his face.
"Though I can only project Primordial Spirit power, with my cultivation of Primordial Spirit, once projected over, as long as I can activate the power within the Star Battle True God Divine Statue, even if it’s Sixth Tier Peak, let alone Seventh Tier, I can kill them one by one, no matter how many come!
Moreover, in the Fifth-order Lanshan Star Domain, a seventh-tier is impossible.
There won’t be any issues!"
Having said so, the Sect Hierarch of the Baidou Divine Sect added, "The Divine Dao True Intent must be recovered! Every single piece of Divine Dao True Intent represents a future eighth-tier, gathering more can even create a ninth-tier!"
While speaking, the Sect Hierarch of the Baidou Divine Sect looked up at the sky, gently saying, "In the future, this Sect Hierarch’s desire to break the limit will also require more of the Divine Dao True Intent!"
Upon hearing this, Execution True Monarch glanced at the Sect Hierarch and knew better than to speak further at this moment.
Although he was Execution True Monarch, known for impartiality, it didn’t mean he was unaware of worldly wisdom.
"The Divine Dao True Intent must be found! I support the Sect Hierarch’s decision." Execution True Monarch said.
Seeing this, Five Directions True Monarch knew there was no chance to argue, and also bowed, saying, "Since the Sect Hierarch insists, then please act quickly to avoid the stolen Star Official Seal being taken away or other unforeseen issues occurring.
Furthermore, this incident with the Star Official Seal contacts everyone, making us even suspect Hidden True Monarch’s involvement!
Hence, I strongly suggest promptly warning all Star Officers to be vigilant of any potential enemies around them, heighten alertness, and absolutely not lose any Star Official Seals.
At the same time, ask all Star Officers to report more precise locations and information to strengthen control."
"A sound argument! Since you proposed it, you should organize and execute it." said the Sect Hierarch of the Baidou Divine Sect.
"Yes, your subordinate accepts the order!"
In the next instant, the Sect Hierarch of the Baidou Divine Sect reached out with his left hand, and the Star Battle Divine Seal hovering above descended into his palm instantly, "Two Divine Sons, stand guard for me!"
"Yes!"
As the two Divine Sons stood guard at his side, the moment the Sect Hierarch of the Baidou Divine Sect’s palm with the Star Battle Divine Seal and in front of everyone, the towering hundred-meter-tall Star Battle True God Statue, two majestic auras resonated.
In just a few breaths, as the aura of another Star Battle True God’s Statue faintly emerged, a divine light shot out from within the Star Battle Divine Seal, piercing the sky and disappearing instantly, carrying a trace of the Sect Hierarch’s Primordial Spirit of the Baidou Divine Sect!
