"Damn it!" Dilling couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
But it was this very sentence that led to his death, because Chen Jian suddenly turned his head and looked at his old face.
The moment their eyes met, Di Lin panicked. Just as he was about to explain, a Star Sword swiftly materialized above Chen Jian's head.
Judging from its size and texture, it is more than one level more powerful than the Star Sword summoned by the previous Elder Qu Feng.
Chen Jian waved his hand, and the Star Sword slashed fiercely at Di Lin!
That aura that could annihilate everything would terrify even a powerful Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Di Lin tried his best to resist the immense pressure on his back, but it was all in vain!
That mountain was not something an ordinary person like him could overthrow. As he approached death, he let out a loud shout.
"The Star Temple is doomed!"
After saying that, he activated the dark energy in his hand to destroy and corrode the Soul-Replenishing Pill, until the elixir turned into nothingness.
The Star Sword also arrived in front of him.
All that everyone saw was a blur before their eyes, and Elder Dilin of the Dark Temple was cleaved in two by the Star Sword. In the end, even these two halves could not remain intact, and after being eroded by the power of the stars, they completely disappeared into the endless sea of stars.
Having dealt with the troublesome Dillin, Chen Jian breathed a sigh of relief. The story within the jade pendant was far from over!
His next task is to completely destroy the Dark Temple.
As everyone watched the Soul-Replenishing Pill disappear into the endless sea of stars, they sighed softly, composed themselves, and focused on the upcoming investiture ceremony at the Star Temple.
After taking a pill, Elder Qu Feng was no longer in any serious condition and continued to stand at the entrance of the square to welcome the guests and various factions that arrived later.
An hour later.
The official commencement of this investiture ceremony was, in fact, a notification to all forces and sects, large and small, in the Central Heaven Star Region, that the Star God Palace not only had a divine son, but also a divine daughter.
After the ceremony, the various sects left one after another. Nangong Jian, the chief disciple of Chen Jian, was still looking at Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu on the high platform, lost in thought.
The third junior brother, Yuwen Fang, couldn't help but sigh as he watched his eldest senior brother lost in thought.
“Hey, senior brother, I told you to explain to the palace master before, but you didn’t listen. Now look what’s happened, the investiture ceremony is over, and you’re here feeling heartbroken. It’s all for nothing.”
"Everyone in the entire Zhongtian Star Region, and even in other star regions, will know about Ye Que and Ye Xiaoyu. Your name, Nangong Jian, is destined to never spread."
Nangong Jian took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
“I am not saddened, I am happy for the Temple of Stars.”
"Happy? What's there to be happy about? The Palace Master said that we're going to have a showdown with the Dark Temple, and we disciples of the Immortal Realm will likely have to go to the battlefield," said the third junior brother, Yuwen Fang, puzzled.
Nangong Jian smiled faintly when he heard his third junior brother's question.
"With these two exceptionally talented juniors, how can my Starry Sky Temple not rise to the top of the eight great temples?"
"I did not become a god because my talent was insufficient. I cannot have any dissatisfaction or criticism of the Star Temple because of this."
"But?" The third junior brother wanted to discuss this issue further.
"Enough!"
“Yuwen Fang, remember this: we were raised by the Star Temple. It was the Star Temple that gave us a second life. Otherwise, you and I would have died at the hands of those beasts in the Dark Temple long ago.”
"That's it, I'm going back to rest."
After saying that, Nangong Jian left without looking back. Yuwen Fang watched his senior brother's retreating figure and sighed in desolation.
Both he and Nangong Jian had their families taken away by the beasts of the Dark Temple when they were young. He remembered those scenes of bloodshed and flames.
Later, an elder from the Star Temple who was away from home discovered him and Nangong Jian, kindly took them in, and taught them the power of the stars.
When Yuwen Fang and Nangong Jian gained strength, they inquired further and learned that no one else from their family remained alive, meaning they were orphans.
From then on, they worked even harder, and in the end, Nangong Jian became the chief disciple, while Yuwen Fang became the third junior brother, receiving boundless respect from the disciples and elders in the Star God Temple.
As the saying goes, no elder brother is better than a father.
Yuwen Fang gradually came to regard Nangong Jian as an elder brother. He knew that Nangong Jian had always wanted to become a divine son, and with a little more effort in the next few years, he could definitely succeed.
Now that Ye Que has appeared and taken away the position of God Child that belonged to Nangong Jian, how could he not feel sorry for his brother?
Now, it's no use regretting it; it's over.
Thinking of this, Yuwen Fang sighed and left the square.
Not far away, a peculiar man completely shrouded in black robes watched Nangong Jian and Yuwen Fang's departing figures and licked his lips.
"Senior Brother? Third Junior Brother? Not bad, this is a good opportunity to get close to the Divine Child."
After saying that, the man in black robes left the square, but his direction was not the exit of the Endless Sea of Stars, but Yuwen Fang's residence.
Back at his residence, Yuwen Fang was still not overwhelmed. Although the temple master had publicly announced the attack on the Dark Temple, it was definitely his ten disciples who would be on the front lines.
The divine sons and daughters will receive the most perfect inheritance in the Starry Sky Temple, without having to personally go to the front lines. They can focus on improving their cultivation in the rear.
"Ugh, what a pathetic situation!"
Yuwen Fang stood up, picked up the teapot beside him, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it to ease the bitterness in his heart.
Bang bang bang.
A knock suddenly sounded at the door, startling Yuwen Fang. He wasn't the easy-going type, and few people came to his residence to see him.
"Who?" Yuwen Fang asked alertly.
"Junior brother, it's me," Nangong Jian's voice came through.
Upon hearing his senior brother's voice, Yuwen Fang immediately stood up, ignoring the tea spilled on his robes, and strode forward. He opened the door and, sure enough, saw Nangong Jian. He smiled faintly.
"Senior Brother has arrived! What a rare guest! Please come in."
Nangong Jian immediately walked in, first looking around at the environment. He noticed that Yuwen Fang was a person who disliked extravagance, and the room's decorations were all simple and unpretentious.
Upon seeing the teapot on the table, he had an idea. He took out a tea bag from his pocket and handed it to Yuwen Fang, who had been following him.
"This tea bag contains the immortal tea that the Palace Master personally gave me. Drinking it will refresh your mind and help improve your cultivation."
"Go brew a pot of tea quickly. You've worked so hard all these years, you need something good to nourish yourself!"
Yuwen Fang never expected that his senior brother would treat him so well, even sharing his immortal tea!
