Chapter 310: Star Palace Grand Elder
In the stone hall, the Nascent Soul elders of the Star Palace filed in and appeared one after another.
After seeing Ye Changsheng, these people's eyes flashed with strange colors, and then they sat down calmly.
Not long after, Ye Changsheng gradually saw several familiar faces.
The Sixth Elder of Xinggong, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul who had met Ye Changsheng several times before, smiled kindly at Ye Changsheng and sat down opposite him.
With such a forward position, it was obvious that the Sixth Elder was also in a high position of power in the Star Palace.
The ranking of the elders of the Star Palace is generally based on their strength. If a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage appears besides the Two Saints, then that person will be the grand elder of the Star Palace.
However, most of the time, the position of the great elder remains vacant, because most of the time there are no other late-stage great monks in the Star Palace except the Two Saints.
Except for the position of the grand elder, the rest of the elders are ranked in order of strength.
This Sixth Elder is almost the last among the elders in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
In addition to the Sixth Elder, the appearance of another person also made Ye Changsheng look slightly surprised.
Master Mulong!
The island master of Kuixing Island, who was rescued by him on Xiaohuan Island, actually broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and became an official elder of the Xing Palace.
Although he sat at the last seat, being able to enter this hall was already extraordinary, as it meant that he had gained the trust of the Star Palace.
When seeing Ye Changsheng's gaze coming over, Master Mu Long showed a look of gratitude on his face.
If Ye Changsheng had not rescued him from the monks of the Anti-Star Alliance, he would not be where he is today.
Ye Changsheng smiled in response.
After a while, almost everyone in the hall was present. More than twenty Star Palace elders dressed in white sat in two seats, looking at Ye Changsheng and Ling Yuling who were sitting in front of them with different expressions.
"Since most of the elders have arrived, this palace master will announce the main reason why I have summoned you here today. From today on, Fellow Daoist Ye will officially become a member of our Star Palace and serve as the Grand Elder!" Ling Xiaofeng said, standing up.
Hearing the three words "Grand Elder", the Star Palace elders' eyes flashed with shock.
This is a position in the Star Palace second only to the two Palace Masters in terms of authority. It is a shame to give this status to someone who has just officially joined the Star Palace.
It seems that this person is really the crown prince of Xing Palace!
Some Nascent Soul cultivators were impressed in their hearts that the two Saints were really good at using their power to win over a young and promising cultivator.
However, the two Saints were indeed magnanimous in that they were willing to give their daughter and the entire Star Palace's foundation to this person.
After Ling Xiaofeng announced the news, he paused for a moment to give the elders time to react, and then asked, "Do the elders have any opinions?"
Opinion?
It is true that some ambitious people have some opinions in their hearts, but they dare not express them out loud.
Not only do they dare not say it out loud, but they have to hide it deep in their hearts and show a look of conviction on their faces.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"It is most appropriate for Fellow Daoist Ye to take on the position of Grand Elder!"
"With Fellow Daoist Ye and the two Saints, how can the Anti-Star Alliance be destroyed?"
"Yes, these villains of the Anti-Star Alliance have been jumping up and down for hundreds of years. It's time to wipe them all out!"
…
The elders of the Star Palace were all rubbing their hands, with an eager look on their faces, as if they couldn't wait to send troops to attack the Anti-Star Alliance.
Seeing this scene, the two saints' eyes flashed with satisfaction, and then they pressed their hands down and said, "We will talk about attacking the Anti-Star Alliance later!"
"Now, all of you should pay your respects to the Great Elder!"
After hearing this, regardless of whether they were willing or not, the elders of the Star Palace all bowed to Ye Changsheng respectfully.
He said, "Greetings, Great Elder!"
Ye Changsheng stood up, smiled slightly, and said: "Fellow Daoists, there is no need to be polite. I am young and inexperienced. I will have to trouble you to take care of me in the future!"
When the elders of Xinggong heard this, they all expressed that they would try their best to cooperate with the Great Elder in the future.
Ling Xiaofeng watched this scene calmly. Wen Qing, who was standing beside him, smiled as he watched the elders' compliments to Ye Changsheng gradually fade away. He then said:
“Brother Ye is a rare genius in the cultivation world that only appears once in tens of thousands of years. He is already a great cultivator at the age of less than 300 years old. There is a great possibility that he will advance to the God Transformation Stage in the future!”
After praising Ye Changsheng for a while, Wen Qing said , "My husband and I have decided to let Yuling and Brother Ye get engaged. They will become a couple!"
Upon hearing this, the Star Palace elders all thought to themselves, "It is indeed so!"
One by one, they stood up again and congratulated Ye Changsheng and Ling Yuling.
Ling Yuling's pretty face flushed red, and her jade-like beauty exuded a touch of intoxicating charm.
She stood up, somewhat at a loss, and responded to the elders' congratulations in a panic.
As a cultivator who had just condensed her Nascent Soul not long ago, it was the first time that most of these elders spoke to her in such a friendly manner, even with a hint of flattery.
This made her somewhat flattered.
You know, in the past, many Star Palace elders secretly looked down on her, thinking that she was just a yellow-haired girl and was not qualified to take over the position of the Twin Saints.
Now, these people's sudden change in attitude made Ling Yulin truly feel what it meant to take advantage of the power of another.
The intimidation her parents posed to these elders was not as great as that posed by Ye Changsheng.
After all, everyone knows that the lifespan of the two saints is not long, and they can only last another one or two hundred years at most.
And some of the ambitious elders here can live until that time.
If the two saints died, they might have a chance to take the position of palace master.
This naturally led to them not being very friendly towards Ling Yuling, and they usually had a lukewarm attitude towards her.
But the situation is completely different now. Ye Changsheng is different from the Twin Saints. He is only over two hundred years old.
He can live for at least another thousand years. None of the twenty or so elders in this hall can outlive him.
The appearance of Ye Changsheng made all those who harbored ambitions give up those thoughts in their hearts.
Naturally, they had to be respectful to Ling Yuling. After all, their descendants would have to survive under the Star Palace system in the future.
If they offend Ling Yulin, their descendants will definitely be in trouble.
Moreover, after the two old palace masters pass away, the new palace master will definitely cultivate his own power. By then, let alone purging them, just marginalizing them will be enough to make them suffer.
Therefore, those who are quick-witted are now thinking about how to please these two future palace masters.
Ling Yuling listened to the compliments of these elders who were usually indifferent to her and looked at their smiling faces. She couldn't help feeling angry and amused.
At this moment, I felt a big warm hand holding me.
She turned around and saw Ye Changsheng also stood up, held her hand, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and chatted and laughed with the elders.
Looking at his handsome profile, Ling Yuling couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart. A feeling of solidity and reliability came from his hands.
After his parents left, he was on his own.
Ling Yuling felt a little sweet in her heart, and couldn't help but move her feet closer to Ye Changsheng.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Wen Qing and Ling Xiaofeng, who were sitting at the top, looked at each other, with a look of relief in their eyes.
There is a sense of relief that the biggest burden in my heart has finally been resolved.
After meeting with the elders of the Star Palace, Ye Changsheng's identity and status in the Star Palace was determined .
I think that once what happened here gets out, it will most likely cause a stir in the entire Chaos Star Sea.
The power of the Star Palace has greatly increased, which will tilt the balance of power in the Chaos Star Sea.
Some people who are watching will most likely make different choices than before, and this is exactly what the people in Xinggong hope for.
Ye Changsheng didn't mind Xinggong using his name for publicity. After all, this foundation would belong to him and Ling Yulin in the future.
He is even now weighing whether or not to directly attack the Anti-Star Alliance and kill Liudao and Wan Sangu.
Of course, this matter still needs to be considered carefully. If after he solves the trouble of the Anti-Star Alliance, the Twin Saints of the Heavenly Star want to turn around and deal with him, that would be a tragedy.
So, although he had this idea, Ye Changsheng was hesitant to actually make such a decision.
A few days later, with the help of the Star Palace's hidden teleportation array, Ye Changsheng came to the outer star sea again.
Nowadays, it is rare to see human monks in the outer star sea. After several major battles, the teleportation arrays connecting the inner and outer star seas have basically been destroyed.
Only a few hidden teleportation arrays are still usable.
Without the support of the Inner Star Sea, these humans in the Outer Star Sea would definitely not be able to defeat the monsters.
After Ye Changsheng came out of the secret teleportation array in the Star Palace, he flew all the way to the vicinity of Qiyuen Island.
Qiyuan Island, once the most prosperous island in the outer sea, is now a ruin.
The building was lying on the ground in ruins, and among the rubble, some broken magical instruments could be vaguely seen.
There are no human figures on the island anymore. Some low-level monsters roam around here. The island is now completely occupied by monsters.
"It will take a long time for the alien sea to recover its former glory!" Ye Changsheng sighed, then fell into the water and dived all the way down.
Arriving at the depths of the abyss, and after travelling thousands of miles according to his memory, Ye Changsheng saw the royal court of the Suanni clan that he had seen before.
After coming here twice, his cultivation level has been completely different. Recalling the last time when he was chased by the old Suanni, a cold look flashed in Ye Changsheng's eyes.
Although the old Suanni has passed away, this grudge is not so easy to resolve.
When Ye Changsheng was less than a hundred miles away from the Suanni King's Court, the people inside immediately noticed his arrival.
Soon, several figures flew out from the royal court.
Each of these people had an ugly appearance and had the characteristics of various sea beasts. They were a group of level eight monsters.
Ye Changsheng's eyes turned and he saw an acquaintance among them.
This person has a tortoise shell and a green face, and is unusually tall. He is actually a turtle monster.
It looks like it has only been a few decades since he survived the catastrophe of transformation.
This was exactly the eighth-level turtle monster that was over a thousand feet in size that Ye Changsheng and the five Yuanyings of Qiyuan Island saw when they entered the ten thousand feet deep sea abyss.
It seems that this person has defected to the royal family of Suanni.
"Human, how dare you come here? Are you looking for death?" an eighth-level monster shouted.
These people rushed up and surrounded Ye Changsheng, and then looked at Ye Changsheng with some surprise and doubt.
The cultivation level of this human being could not be detected, which meant that his cultivation level must be higher than theirs.
Several transformed monsters felt a chill in their hearts, but then they remembered that there was a level ten monster here to support them, and they felt more confident.
Ye Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, not looking at these level eight monsters, but instead cast his gaze towards a stream of water about ten feet away in front of him.
"Why, now that you are here, fellow Daoist, are you still hiding from me?" Ye Changsheng asked indifferently.
Hearing this, the water flowed a little, and the next moment, a middle-aged man in a blue royal robe appeared in front of Ye Changsheng.
He looked at Ye Changsheng with some doubt, and said with a hint of uncertainty: "Is it you?"
How could he not recognize the person in front of him ?
The human Nascent Soul cultivator who had escaped right under the noses of their two level ten monsters.
But this person was only in the early stage of Nascent Soul back then, but now he is already in the late stage of Nascent Soul?
Isn’t this ridiculous?
For a moment, he couldn't be sure whether the person in front of him was the same person as before.
"Yes, it's me. Why, are you scared seeing me appear now?" Ye Changsheng asked lightly with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"Hmph, would I be afraid of you? Do you think that after advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage, you can compete with a level ten monster? Do it!" King Suanni shouted and stretched out his hand forward. The surrounding water condensed into a big hand and chased after Ye Changsheng.
The moment he saw Ye Changsheng, King Suanni knew that he was here to cause trouble, so he didn't waste any words and took action directly.
A hint of mockery flashed in Ye Changsheng's eyes, and a small green tripod appeared in front of him. The lid of the small tripod opened, and a bunch of green hair flew out, which firmly bound the tenth-level monster in the blink of an eye.
And his big hand formed by water flow was also dispersed by Ye Changsheng with a casual wave of his hand.
At the same time, Ye Changsheng casually flicked his fingers and shot out several sword energies, accompanied by screams.
The four level eight monsters that attacked at the same time as King Suanni were killed instantly, and the bright red blood dyed the sea red in the blink of an eye.
King Suanni, who was tied up by the Xutian Ding, had a look of horror in his eyes. He couldn't believe that he was defeated so easily.
He was a level ten monster, but he was tied up by someone at the first encounter?
Hearing the noise here, seven or eight transformed monsters ran out from the court of King Suanni. Some of them were level nine. They looked not much different from humans.
These monsters rushed out with great momentum, but when they saw the scene here, they immediately stopped.
