"Is there anything we can do for you, senior?"
Before Qingfeng could even ask, the Foundation Establishment elder bowed and said...
His attitude was very respectful.
Qingfeng concealed his escape light and stopped above the group of cultivators.
"Which faction do you belong to?"
He asked in a buzzing voice.
"Replying to senior, we are cultivators from the royal family of Dongli Island. We have not yet joined the Reverse Star Alliance or the Star Palace."
The Foundation Establishment elder quickly replied.
"The Reverse Star Alliance and the Star Palace..."
Qingfeng remained expressionless, leaving the Foundation Establishment elder unable to fathom his attitude.
If a Core Formation cultivator blocks their way and displeases him, they might be in danger.
"I have been in seclusion for some time. Tell me in detail about the Reverse Star Alliance and the Star Palace."
Qingfeng looked at the Foundation Establishment elder and said.
"It seems that you have been in seclusion for some time and are unaware of the major events that have recently occurred in the Chaotic Star Sea, which is quite normal."
The Foundation Establishment elder breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qingfeng was only inquiring about things.
"What major event has occurred in this chaotic star sea? Tell me quickly."
Qingfeng feigned impatience.
"Senior, please don't be in a hurry, I will explain now."
Not long ago, news spread from the Chaotic Star Sea that the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars had achieved great success in their Yuan Magnetic Divine Light and were about to emerge from seclusion to celebrate.
All forces in the Chaotic Star Sea were invited to send important figures to the grand event. Everyone initially believed it was truly a celebration organized by the Two Saints.
However, powerful figures from both the righteous and demonic paths spread the word that the Star Palace planned to take this opportunity to begin eliminating some disobedient or uncontrollable forces.
At first, most people didn't believe it, thinking that the righteous and evil paths were once again slinging dirty water at each other with the Star Palace.
However, unexpectedly, recently, the Star Palace has indeed issued the "Celestial Star Decree" to all forces, large and small, ordering all sect leaders and island lords to go to Celestial Star City to pay homage to the Celestial Star Twin Saints.
If you don't go, the consequence will be expulsion from the Star Palace and being judged as a traitor.
The Foundation Establishment elder's expression turned solemn as he spoke.
As a member of a small family of cultivators, he knew a lot of information.
With his detailed explanation, Qingfeng gained a more comprehensive understanding of how things had unfolded.
"Sending important figures from various factions to Tianxing City... Heh, isn't this a trap?"
Qingfeng murmured to himself.
What is the Feast at Hongmen?
The Foundation Establishment stage elder was taken aback, not understanding what it meant.
"It's nothing, please continue."
"Yes, ever since the Star Palace's Heavenly Star Decree was actually issued, many forces and sects have been forced to believe the claims of both the righteous and demonic paths."
The same goes for the Wang family of Dongli Island. Originally, the patriarch planned to go to Tianxing City, but now he dares not go.
A few days ago, the righteous path and the demonic path also announced the establishment of an organization called "Reverse Star Alliance".
They claimed to break the Star Palace's hegemony over the Chaotic Star Sea and completely overthrow the domineering rule of the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars.
Furthermore, the leaders of the Reverse Star Alliance are Wan Sangu, a great cultivator from the righteous path of the Myriad Laws Sect, and Liu Dao Jisheng, the number one demonic cultivator today!
Now that the news of the Reverse Star Alliance's establishment has spread, many sects belonging to both the righteous and demonic paths have joined it.
It is said that more than a dozen Nascent Soul stage demonic giants have also joined the alliance and served as elders of the Reverse Star Alliance.
However, this Reverse Star Alliance also followed the Star Palace's example and issued a kind of ghost token called the "Reverse Star Order" to other forces.
They claimed that any force that sided with the Star Palace would become an enemy of the Reverse Star Alliance and would not be spared.
Alas, in my opinion, the Reverse Star Alliance is just as domineering as the Star Palace, and they don't care at all about the life or death of small families like ours.
The infighting among these powerful figures also forces us low-level cultivators to choose sides.
The Foundation Establishment elder said with a worried expression.
"Heh, these righteous and demonic paths make it sound nice to talk about opposing the Star Palace's hegemony, but it's just an excuse to start a war over those spirit stone mines and cultivation resources."
Qingfeng said with a cold laugh.
"What you say is true, senior. But what can cultivators from small families like ours do? We can't afford to offend the Star Palace, and we dare not provoke either the righteous or demonic paths."
The Foundation Establishment elder glanced back at the young members of the family.
If they choose sides, most of them will end up as cannon fodder on the front lines.
"Senior, what are your plans?"
After talking with Qingfeng, the Foundation Establishment elder sensed that Qingfeng was not vicious. After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively asked.
"Me? Hehe, naturally I plan to find a place where I can cultivate in peace and continue my cultivation."
What do I care about the Reverse Star Alliance or the Star Palace, their life-and-death struggle?
In the end, no matter which side wins, the cultivation resources of this Chaotic Star Sea will still be controlled by those Nascent Soul stage monsters at the top.
What can we lowly cultivators possibly get? Those old fogies who've already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage won't even give us a sip of soup.
Qingfeng shook his head and said.
After hearing Qingfeng's words, the group of young cultivators behind the Foundation Establishment elder nodded repeatedly.
"Senior's insight is indeed profound. I would like to ask a question, and I wonder if you could offer some guidance?"
The old man who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage bowed and clasped his hands in greeting.
"explain."
Qingfeng nodded in acknowledgment.
"Senior, although the Star Palace acts domineeringly, it still has established rules and knows how to protect the mortals in the Chaotic Star Sea."
Those who follow the righteous path are all people who seek fame and fortune, and they only know how to put on a show.
As for the demonic path, it is a group of people who despise humanity and are accustomed to refining living people.
These days, finding a peaceful place to cultivate is not easy. Senior, you possess great supernatural powers and extraordinary knowledge; could you perhaps guide this junior on the right path?
The Foundation Establishment elder asked respectfully.
"The great war in the Chaotic Star Sea is about to begin, and no one can remain uninvolved. I can think of three paths."
One option is for you to disband your clan, break up into smaller groups, and hide in the open sea; the other is to join the Reverse Star Alliance or one of the Star Palace factions, fight on the battlefield, and let your life and death be determined by fate.
Third, find a neutral force to join, not to participate in the war between the Reverse Star Alliance and the Star Palace, but if the neutral force is attacked, it should also fight desperately.
However, this kind of desperate effort is for oneself, not for others.
Qingfeng said slowly.
"this……"
Upon hearing his words, the Foundation Establishment elder fell into deep thought.
Disbanding the family and splitting up to hide in the outer sea is too risky, as the outer sea is the territory of monsters and is equally dangerous.
Joining the Star Palace or the Reverse Star Alliance is even more impossible; if you go, you'll be forced to go to the battlefield as cannon fodder.
As for joining a neutral faction...
"The only neutral force in the Chaotic Star Sea that has the ability to remain uninvolved is Kui Xing Island of the Qingyang Sect."
The Foundation Establishment elder pondered for a while, then looked up at Qingfeng.
"Senior, are you going to Kui Xing Island?"
"That's right, I plan to join the Qingyang Sect first and observe the situation. The Reverse Star Alliance has two Yuanhou cultivators, and the Star Palace Twin Saints have long been renowned throughout the Chaotic Star Sea."
There is bound to be a great battle between them. We cultivators should take advantage of the eve of their battle and quickly withdraw from this quagmire.
Otherwise, once war breaks out, there will be no way to escape.
Qingfeng said slowly.
He was telling the truth; the Star Palace would soon be sealing off the teleportation array leading to the outer sea.
The Reverse Star Alliance will also use the island lords to coerce small and medium-sized forces into joining.
Judging by the time, Wen Tianren, the "Number One Core Formation Expert," has probably already led the forces of the Reverse Star Alliance to attack those islands that have not yet submitted to the Reverse Star Alliance.
