Chapter 1228: Chapter 521: Finally Seeing the Great River Chapter 1228: Chapter 521: Finally Seeing the Great River Even an adult who is weak and frail would not be subdued by a child of three or five years old, yet so still fail to grasp such a simple truth.
Although the martial arts had flourished for a thousand years, many people’s understanding of the realms had superficially diminished.
In the eyes of those not adept in combat, the Fierce Realm was rely another level, and the threat posed by warriors of this rank was not profoundly acknowledged.
The female lord in the overturned cauldron had lost consciousness again, unaware whether it was from fright or from being struck by the cauldron.
Without the control of their master, the Cloud Hands dispersed into mist, and the two people slumped against the crystal wall took a mont to recover before they struggled to stand.
The recuperated Du Sha finally turned his thoughts to the mystery of the final battleground, “What about the White Tiger Seven Stars?”
“I’m not sure,” Tang Luo shrugged, “You know, we haven’t even assembled the Azure Dragon Seven Stars.”
The so-called Twenty-Eight Mansions are the twenty-seven star domains in the sky, which ancient sages once assembled into a star map and divided into nine fields.
The Nine Fields are: the Central Heavenly Field;
the Eastern Blue Sky; the Northeast Changing Sky;
the Northern Mysterious Sky; the Northwest Dark Sky;
the Western Bright Sky; the Southwest Vermillion Sky;
the Southern Fla Sky; the Southeastern Sunlit Sky.
The stars governing the Nine Fields are the Azure Dragon Seven Stars of the East: Horn, Neck, Root, Room, Heart, Tail, and Basket.
The Northern Xuanwu Seven Stars: Dipper, Ox, Girl, Emptiness, Rooftop, Room, Wall.
The Western White Tiger Seven Stars: Kui, Lou, Stomach, Hairy Head, Net, Tusk, and Three Stars.
The Southern Vermillion Bird Seven Stars: Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Extend, Wings, Chariot.
As a man with ticulous plans for the future, Tang Luo began to design the frawork of his future forces starting from establishing the Marshal Star Pavilion, implenting it step by step.
According to his design, those who could serve as Star Generals in the future must be the elites trained in the Marshal Star Pavilion and loyal to him.
After all, warriors birthed with such exceptional natural gifts as Du Sha were exceedingly rare, and Tang Luo did not expect to encounter twenty-eight of them.
And his eyes that could only see the level of talent but not the bloodlines did not allow him to establish the confidence to surpass Xu Sheng’s Seventy-Two Kings.
Thus, the Twenty-Eight Star Generals were the goal Tang Luo had set for his own forces.
If there were twenty-eight warriors with combat strength like Du Sha, along with the Devil Lord of the King Realm, such forces should be able to secure a place in the Western Xiehe.
The plan had been set, and implenting it was next. Du Sha becoming the first of the Azure Dragon Seven Stars was not a whim but had long been prepared.
Yet he had not anticipated that upon coming to Chaochang, the White Tiger Seven Stars would suddenly erge, no wonder Du Sha felt perplexed.
“Each of the White Tiger Seven Stars is an extraordinary fighter, and they possess robust physiques and a fierce style of martial arts which I had never seen before.”
Du Sha furrowed his brows, carefully recalling the information on experts from his mory, yet none matched the seven people he had just encountered, thus he asked Tang Luo, “Are they friends or foes?”
“From what we can see, they should be friends.”
Tang Luo could only judge this way. Although the martial style of the White Tiger Seven Stars was unprecedented, his ability to see the flow of Spiritual Power still led Tang Luo to discern the roots of their martial arts.
They were physically robust because of the Undying Battle Body. Their unfamiliar yet fierce style of martial arts was due to their usage of Spirit Arts ford from the fusion of nurous techniques.
Moreover, these techniques all bear traces of ancient schools, characterized by crude models of Spiritual Power but extrely fierce properties, thus they are very harsh and possess imnse power.
This kind of technique places an extre burden on the ridians, which is why in ancient tis, few martial artists lived long.
One reason was the frequent battles with the Demon Race at that ti, and the other was due to the inherent properties of the Spirit Arts themselves.
Latterly, when the Human Race prospered, Xu Sheng engraved the Heavenly Books on the monunts of Tianan to decode Spiritual Power, leading the Human Race to understand that the fierceness of Spiritual Power is not always better, and Spirit Arts should not solely pursue the limit of destructive power, everything should be just right.
Therefore, today’s Martial Arts Secret Manuals are all intricately designed masterpieces, with models of Spiritual Power that are several to dozens of tis more complex than in ancient tis.
Consequently, this raises the requirents for martial artists in terms of control over Spiritual Power, reduces the load on the ridians, and also ensures the might of the Spirit Arts.
However, the martial arts style of the White Tiger Seven Stars has a distinct sense of disconnection, with the core of the Spirit Arts still ancient, yet blending several different schools’ techniques with modern thods.
Based on the information currently known to Tang Luo, only one faction in Xiehe has such a contradictory style.
“Du Sha, please make a trip to the Tang Clan’s station, and ask Lord Bai Chuan to visit the Wilderness for a talk.”
“What do you an?”
“I’m not sure about the others, but this Kui Su Wood Wolf must undoubtedly be Lord Bai Chuan.”
Tang Luo felt sowhat guilty as he said this. Although Du Sha had relayed Lord Bai Chuan’s words back to him, and he had discerned the implications of a eting from the ssage, he had been delaying it due to so issues, and now that a slip had occurred, it was Lord Bai Chuan coming forward to redy it.
eting at this particular mont was quite awkward, but it had also co to the ti when a eting was necessary.
He needed to let his clan know what he was doing in Chaochang, and re communication with Tang Yao was not sufficient, because evidently, what Tang Baichuan knew and what Tang Yao knew were not the sa.
This had always been the style of the clan leader, each person clearly knew what they were supposed to do, but did not know the overall picture.
Just as Tang Yao ca to expand the city, he focused solely on that task, seeing Tang Baichuan only as the supre martial support sent by the clan leader.
Yet today’s appearance of the White Tiger Seven Stars made Tang Luo realize that aside from assisting Tang Yao in city expansion, Lord Bai Chuan likely had another very important matter to discuss with him.
…
Even though they cherish the autumn leaves, there will co a day when they must return to the earth, and the prodigy who ran away must eventually face his responsibilities.
People differ, not in terms of high or low status but in the weight of their responsibilities.
So are born to bear responsibilities because they possess the capacity to do so.
If an ordinary mber runs away, at most the clan verifies whether this person is alive, but if a prodigy of Longxi runs away, it becos a major event demanding the attention of the entire high-ranking clan mbers.
An ordinary clan mber can enjoy freedom and individuality because he is inconsequential, basking in the clan’s glory.
But Tang Luo cannot do so, even though he has already done well enough, there are still countless more expectant gazes, hoping he would advance further.
“Ease in one’s position, whether lowly or high, is not so easily achieved.”
With a deep sigh, Tang Luo turned and bowed to the person who had arrived, saying, “I have seen Lord Bai Chuan, thank you for your assistance, Lord Bai Chuan.”
“Whatever you wish to do, the clan is always your staunchest supporter.”
Tang Baichuan extended his hand in a supportive gesture, his words full of encouragent, yet his face showed little emotion.
“This is a ssage the clan leader asked this old man to convey to you.”
