Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1078

Chapter 1078: Chapter 1082: The Cloud-Like Grand Assembly Chapter 1078: Chapter 1082: The Cloud-Like Grand Assembly The Yuheng Star Goddess was not wrong.

Lately, the characters he had provoked were all ruthless, like Hong Mo, Lu Wu, Xi Ji, Shen Sang–all of Divine Monarch Level. Had it not been for relying on two Jade Immortal elders, his skin would have been peeled off by these people long ago.

Moreover, there were many methods he could rely on to deal with these people; if he couldn’t beat them, at least he could hide.

But there was one person he must face no matter what.

That was Hua Chou.

Hua Chou and he were incompatible as fire and water.

Calculating the time, he should be discharged soon.

Hua Chou was a typical plague god, his brutality even more terrifying than Hong Mo’s, and he would definitely spare no effort to dig him out and scatter his soul!

Right now, the only Divine Monarch opportunity he had come into contact with was the maturity of a Xuanlong.

With the Gui’an Flower in hand, and considering the Ninth Star God’s position was at stake involving Ghost Mark Star, it indeed was the wisest choice to head to Ghost Mark Star now.

“Alright, I’ll go,” Zhu Minglang nodded and agreed with the Yuheng Star Goddess.

“This is not just a casual stroll; there is a mission you must complete, otherwise, the future of the North Dipper God State might change,” said the Yuheng Star Goddess.

“That is to pull down Ghost Mark Star from the sky,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Yes, in a few days, I will hand over the Ridge Divine Stone to you. You will place this Ridge Sky Pulling Guide Stone at the Southeast Sky Corner of Ghost Mark Star, one in each of the eight directions, each to be completed by a deity dispatched by a Star God,” the Yuheng Star Goddess said.

“Doesn’t Yuheng have any other candidates?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Of course, there are others; after all, this matter is related to the fate of the entire Divine Land, and the situation is urgent. You know, the other Four Great Sword Immortals are coveting the God’s Head position and have already banded together, arguing that the God’s Head must shoulder this important task to convince the public, sending your mother to Ghost Mark Star. If you don’t go, naturally it would be your mother,” the Yuheng Star Goddess said.

“She never mentioned this to me?” Zhu Minglang was somewhat surprised.

“There are too many unknowns on Ghost Mark Star, and even us North Dipper Star Gods dare not tread lightly. She hasn’t mentioned it because she hopes that you won’t get involved. But in my view, you are the most suitable candidate. On one hand, a Dragon Shepherd has a greater chance of survival there than God and Mortal, and on the other hand, in terms of nurturing virtue and exploring the unknown, she might be comparatively weaker,” the Yuheng Star Goddess said.

“I understand. Actually, I am quite interested in Ghost Mark Star–I mean, there’s a primordial tree over a million years old that I want to find,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Then it’s settled.”

“When do we leave?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“As soon as possible!”

…

What Zhu Minglang thought was “as soon as possible” probably meant at least half a month, but he did not expect that the next morning, he was woken up early, changed into an extremely solemn White Jade Brocade Sword Costume as required, and was pushed to the forefront.

This was Zhu Minglang’s first time participating in a solemn ceremony at the Yuheng Star Palace. From his viewing platform, it was a snowy white and radiant beauty, fluttering like in the midst of a midsummer’s blooming flowers. Graceful colorful butterflies, elegant green finches, snowy swans, and noble clouds of phoenixes… It was a feast for the eyes, enough to make one salivate.

Yuheng Star Palace was too marvelous!

It was simply a man’s paradise!

His previous visits had been too hasty; he had not realized how splendid and spectacular the beauties of Yuheng Star Palace could be.

But speaking of which, Zhu Minglang had been in Yuheng Star Palace for some time and had only now seen the Yuheng Star Goddess presiding over a grand assembly for the first time.

Sword Immortals, Saint Honors, Celestial Maidens, Holy Women, Worshipping Ladies, Maids, Female Disciples…

After all, it was a Divine Land where women were revered. It was hard not to be intoxicated.

Of course, there were also numerous male servants, and the most distinguished and powerful among them was the East Palace Sword Immortal Shen Sang, one of the Five Great Sword Immortals.

Below Shen Sang were also male servants.

The mark of these servants was a mole on their forehead: gold signified the most honorable Sword Immortals, followed by crimson, then cyan, and the least significant were in black.

During such a grand assembly, Zhu Minglang was one of the very few without a mole on his forehead, yet still qualified to sit in the upper seats.

From the attitudes of Sword Immortal Shen Sang, Sikong Yuantu, Lan Zun, Linghu Immortal Teacher, and others, one could see the strict hierarchy within the Yuheng Star Palace, and because of the Jade Immortals’ special cultivation methods, men were regarded as a bane to some extent, even though a liberal part of the Star Palace members consisted of men, they were considered dependents…

Therefore, Zhu Minglang, a man without the mark of a dependent, was particularly conspicuous at this grand assembly, especially among some of the more conservative old teachers, who showed great discontent with Zhu Minglang sitting in the same row as them.

Nevertheless, Zhu Minglang truly was a nephew of the Yuheng Star Goddess, after all, it was unlikely for a generation of Yuheng Immortals to have a nephew existing.

“Go on, set an example,” the Yuheng Star Goddess said to Zhu Minglang.

“Set what example?” Zhu Minglang was also startled.

Wasn’t he just there to make an appearance? Why was he expected to speak?

Such a magnificent scene, Zhu Minglang had rarely seen such, and was inevitably a bit nervous.

“As one of the leaders, shouldn’t you say something inspiring?” the Yuheng Star Goddess raised her eyebrows.

“Ah?? What leader am I? Am I supposed to lead so many people to Ghost Mark Star to pass on the human race’s torch?” Zhu Minglang said.

“You could put it that way,” the Yuheng Star Goddess had an indifferent attitude.

But how could Zhu Minglang really say so? These Jade Immortals, Celestial Maidens, Saint Honors, and the like–each was a proud colorful phoenix, few men in the world were worthy of continuing their lineage.

“Ahem,” Zhu Minglang cleared his throat, seeing all the shining eyes looking at him, he was at a loss of what to say, mainly because he was completely unprepared.

“Eternal Darkness is approaching, and the world suffers. Although the Heavens have a pair of clear eyes, witnessing everything happening here, there are times when they cannot attend to every detail. That’s why there are us deities, who stand above mortals, to share the Heavens’ concerns and protect all sentient beings…”

“Our journey to Ghost Mark Star is both a great merit and filled with immense danger. As long as we work together, we will surely overcome the difficulties, benefiting not only the North Dipper God State but also returning in glory, ascending to the ranks of immortals!”

After he had said this, there wasn’t much of a reaction from the crowd below.

Taking on Heaven’s burdens.

Not every deity could comprehend this layer of providence, and hence, while many have reached the Godly Realm, only those few have taken the position of a True God.
