423: Beast Alliance
Xun Xiuyuan shook his head gently, indicating that they had not joined.
Hearing this, Star Swallower showed a satisfied smile on his Face and said, "In that case, you might as well consider joining the Giant Beast Alliance. This way, I can help you with a legitimate reason and won't have to fall out with the Bai family over a matter of stance. This is an excellent choice for both of us."
After hearing this, Xun Xiuyuan nodded seriously in agreement, "You're right. I was also worried about this, fearing that the Cosmic Alliance would retaliate against the Yuan Ling Universe for some reason."
Star Swallower's gaze was deep as he looked directly at Xun Xiuyuan and spoke slowly, "The reason you're worried is probably because of those legendary Supreme Treasures, isn't it? The Cosmic Alliance's covetousness for these Supreme Treasures has long been no secret among the high-level figures of the entire Cosmic Battlefield. Which one did you obtain?"
It was indeed the case; those three Supreme Treasures had long been the subject of much discussion among the higher-ups of the entire Cosmic Battlefield, known to almost everyone.
Xun Xiuyuan nodded again and spoke candidly, "That's right, I was indeed fortunate enough to obtain one of the Supreme Treasures—the xuanhuang one qi pagoda."
Star Swallower nodded gently, a hint of helplessness in his voice, "That Second Elder Bai, he never understood one thing: Spirit Treasures like these cannot easily recognize someone as their Revered Master. He is far too obsessed, to the point of falling into a misconception."
Xun Xiuyuan stood to the side and did not speak immediately; instead, he watched Star Swallower with a calm and deep gaze, as if deep in thought.
Noticing Xun Xiuyuan's expression, the corners of Star Swallower's mouth curled up slightly into a relaxed smile, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who covets others' treasures. Although the myriad things cauldron has been in Second Elder Bai's hands for so long, he has yet to succeed in making the treasure recognize him as its Revered Master; instead, it has brought him quite a bit of trouble."
At this point, Star Swallower couldn't help but laugh, his laughter carrying a hint of playfulness and mockery.
"As for the xuanhuang one qi pagoda recognizing you as its Revered Master, that's a wonderful thing; it shows your Luck is extraordinary and you are truly a blessed person. And I am fortunate enough to take such a talent as my Disciple—it's truly a match made in heaven, hahaha."
As he spoke, Star Swallower's laughter grew louder; he was clearly in a great mood, completely immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something important, Star Swallower asked urgently, "Where is Titan? Where did that kid go?"
At this moment, Yang Xiaoyao, who had arrived upon hearing the news, quickly stepped forward to answer Star Swallower's question.
"Titan said before that he was going back to the Yuan Ling Sect, but he hasn't come out since he left."
Yang Xiaoyao explained in detail.
Hearing this, Star Swallower was clearly in a good mood, a relaxed smile appearing on his Face.
Hearing that Titan had returned to the Yuan Ling Sect, he did not press any further.
Turning his gaze to Xun Xiuyuan, Star Swallower said firmly, "Since your Universe has been targeted by the Bai family, I will stay here for a while to let them know that this isn't a place they can just interfere with as they please."
At this moment, True Person Yuan Ling was most concerned about the safety of the Yuan Ling Universe, so he couldn't help but ask, "If Senior stays here, will the Bai family choose to back off out of wariness?"
Star Swallower shook his head gently, a trace of helplessness in his voice, "Second Elder Bai's strength is not inferior to mine, and our Giant Beast Alliance is not as powerful as the Cosmic Alliance. However, as long as I remain here, it will depend on whether Second Elder Bai is willing to give me this Face."
Star Swallower's implication was very clear: with him here, the Bai family naturally wouldn't dare to act rashly.
But once he left, the situation would be hard to predict.
After all, the Bai family's power was even greater than that of the Giant Beast Alliance, and their ambition and strength were not to be underestimated.
Hearing this, True Person Yuan Ling's expression instantly became extremely grave, as if a heavy stone were pressing on his heart; his entire aura became heavy.
Xun Xiuyuan silently organized his chaotic thoughts, and after a moment, the words "Blue Star" clearly surfaced in his mind once again.
Thinking of this, Xun Xiuyuan couldn't help but ask Star Swallower, "Revered Master, could the Bai family be the Senior experts from the Blue Star Universe?"
Seeing Xun Xiuyuan ask this, Star Swallower gave a faint smile and replied slowly, "Not exactly. The Blue Star Universe is actually the ancestral Universe of the entire Cosmic Battlefield. To put it bluntly, this Cosmic Battlefield is actually attached to the Blue Star Universe. The Bai family were not originally inhabitants of the Blue Star Universe; they came from other Universes. It was only because they formed a deep bond with the Dao Law Progenitor, and the Dao Law Progenitor held Second Elder Bai in high regard, that they founded the Cosmic Alliance together."
Hearing this, Xun Xiuyuan was stunned, his confusion growing: where did this Dao Law Progenitor suddenly come from?
Just then, Xiao Xuan's voice rang out at the right moment: "Revered Master, the Dao Law Progenitor was the former Revered Master of the three of us."
Hearing this, Xun Xiuyuan's thoughts finally connected.
The Dao Law Progenitor was precisely that legendary figure who had opened up the Cosmic Battlefield, but unfortunately, he was framed by Second Elder Bai and others, and eventually fell.
And the three Supreme Treasures he left behind were now finally all linked together; all the mysteries seemed to have answers at this moment.
Star Swallower didn't care about Xun Xiuyuan's inner thoughts and continued his narrative.
To him, the content he was recounting was merely things the older generation already knew well.
However, for those living in the Yuan Ling Universe, this information was an unfathomable secret, full of legendary color.
"You should know that the Dao Law Progenitor was the true original inhabitant of Blue Star, yet now Second Elder Bai is stationed on Blue Star year-round, and who knows what he is secretly planning."
Star Swallower said slowly, "Speaking of which, Second Elder Bai's behavior is somewhat like a dove occupying a magpie's nest. Since the Dao Law Progenitor's unfortunate demise, Second Elder Bai took the opportunity to enter the Blue Star Universe and gradually took control of the entire situation there."
Having said this, Star Swallower consciously stopped speaking.
After all, while everyone has heard of these things and has a general understanding, no one knows the specific details.
Continuing would only be baseless speculation, so it was better to stop there and say no more.
Seeing that Star Swallower was not continuing, Xun Xiuyuan also felt he knew enough and did not ask further.
Instead, he thought about his own concerns.
