From the initial shock, confusion and uncertainty, to the current determination, confidence and even arrogance.
With the victory of one battle after another, especially after the massive deployment of the Taixu Warriors to one starfield after another, the Everlasting Palace was retreating, and even the Star Pirates that used to wreak havoc on one side of the world had disappeared, and the sense of security and pride of both the commoners and the cultivators had been greatly increased.
"The Second Battle of the Spider's Nest Star will be the final war of the Flying Star Realm!"
"After this battle, the Spider Nest Star, the source of darkness in the Flying Star Realm, will be completely smashed, and under the protection of the Taixu Warrior Soldiers, it will be very difficult for the Heavenly Demons to invade any more star towns."
"Peace forever, is coming, there will be no more killing, looting and destruction!"
Li Yao had traveled through seven or eight star realms after his return to the Star Ocean, and had sensed such optimistic, impetuous, and naive thoughts from countless people.
As for the victory or defeat of this battle, there was not the slightest suspense.
No need for any experts or scholars, just grab a peddler, a driver, a high school student, and they can all talk a good game.
"The first battle of the Spider Nest Star five hundred years ago, the trigger was merely Yan Xinjian's defection and extermination of his family, which offended the Heavenly Sage's six clans, and apart from the Heavenly Sage City, the cultivators of the other star domains, didn't have much of a touch."
"The cultivation world was formed in haste, and many sects did not do their best, calling it a scattered sand."
"On the other hand, the star pirates have Yan Xinjian, the supreme commander who is familiar with the details of the cultivation world, and the connection between the Spider's Nest Star and the outside world has not been cut off, in addition to the frontal battlefield, there are still countless small groups of star pirates, roaming in the major star fields, taking advantage of the cultivation world's rear emptiness, killing and looting, and continually 'bleed out! ', and in the end, it was only then that the Cultivation Realm's allied forces were forced to return in defeat."
"Nowadays. The situation of the Second Battle of the Spider's Nest Star was very different from five hundred years ago."
"The connection between the Spider Starfield and the outside world was almost cut off, and all the Star Pirates were suppressed on the Spider Nest Star, lacking medicines, ammunition, and supplies. It's a complete sitting duck."
"On the other hand, our cultivation world is united as one, unprecedented unity, every sect, every cultivator. All of them have contributed their utmost strength!"
"The most crucial point, five years of accumulation, almost every sect has taken out a large amount of resources, refined countless Taixu Warriors, the start of the duel, all the Taixu Warriors, will be assembled in the Spider Starfield, to launch the first wave of attacks, and only after the Spider Nest Star is turned into a scorched earth, will the cultivators move out. Completely crush through!"
"In this battle, the Cultivators will win, and the shame of their disastrous defeat five hundred years ago will all be washed away!"
This was the unanimous voice of everyone, from the war experts in the light screen to the vegetable seller in the market, everyone thought that the cultivators would win easily.
The crowd of the tenth astral ring cheering the cultivators to the front line, there is no half of the atmosphere of sadness, as if the cultivators are not going to kill. Just going to hold a victory parade.
Quite a few places, even began to put up lights and colors in advance to prepare for the upcoming great victory.
Every citizen had a relaxed smile on their face.
Li Yao realized that he was preoccupied. The thoughtful look was out of place with the jubilant atmosphere of the entire city, and he barely managed to hook the corners of his mouth and pull out a stiff smile.
Ahead of him was the largest civic square in the Tenth Star Circle, and also the most crowded place.
As a saboteur who secretly infiltrated the Heavenly Sacred City, it was a good idea to take a turn in the crowded civic square. To get rid of any possible stalking, it was a very common sense move.
Li Yao strained his way through the crowds of people while looking east and west at the skyscrapers around him.
The outer wall of each skyscraper consisted of several huge light screens that covered the sky and were broadcasting news related to the duel.
"This morning, the patriarchs and elders of seven cultivation sects, including the Danding Sect, the Silver Ring Sect, and the Ice Silkworm Castle from the Red Pine Star Region, formed a special delegation and arrived at the Heavenly Sacred City to participate in the oath-taking assembly."
"Up to this point, of the top 500 cultivation sects in the Flying Star Realm in terms of overall strength, the leadership of 401 sects have gathered in the Heavenly Sacred City, this is an unprecedented unity in the Flying Star Realm over the past 5,000 years!"
"Prior to the duel, the Taixu Group once again publicized the three latest models of the Taixu Warriors, which are the Subterranean type that is used to fight against the underground pits of the Spider's Nest Star; the Breach type that is used to assault the interior of starships, and can start a self-explosion inside an enemy ship; as well as the Medical type that carries a large amount of medical potions, and can act as a battleground emergency medical pod. "
"Up to this point, the Taixu Warrior models made public by the Taixu Group have reached forty-three, and the application of a large number of Taixu Warriors will, to the greatest extent possible, reduce the casualties of cultivators."
"Ten thousand Qi Refiner elites from the Iron Plains Planet are expected to arrive at Heavenly Sacred City at 1:00 PM, aboard the Great Horn Armor Division's transport fleet."
"As we all know, Qi Alchemists and Cultivators, along different cultivation trajectories, have been developing separately for 5,000 years, but in the upcoming decisive battle, Qi Alchemists and Cultivators will be fighting side by side, and our blood will flow together, proving in this way, that we are all Fei Xians!"
Li Yao watched the news very intently, and without realizing it, was caught up in a wave of noisy people.
It was a group of middle school students holding flowers and flags.
Looking like they had just finished the farewell parade, many of the teenagers hadn't pulled themselves out of their exuberance yet, and every pimple on their faces shone brightly.
They were dancing and spitting, discussing the upcoming showdown.
Naturally, no one had any doubts about the victory or defeat, but they were worried about whether this battle would really capture all the leaders of the Hall of Eternal Life.
It is well known that there are four leaders in the Hall of Eternal Life, the so-called "Black Lotus of the Mountain and Sea, the Four Kings of Eternal Life".
But after seven years of bloody battles, apart from the identities of the Mountain King, Yan Xibei, and the Black King, Night Mo Tian, which were conclusive, the identities of the Sea King and the Lotus King were still confusing.
In the last few years, the identities of the Sea King and the Lotus King have become a hot topic on the street corners and on the Spirit Internet.
From the patriarchs and elders of the cultivation sects, down to the peddlers, and even the old, weak, women and children, all had their own opinions.
Li Yao brushed past the middle school students just in time to see a chubby boy waving his fists and said with great excitement, "In fact, it's not hard to guess the identities of the Lotus King and the Sea King, we just need to apply reverse thinking to consider them, and it'll be clear as day!"
"The appearance of the Hall of Eternal Life, the bloody war for seven years. Who is it most beneficial to? Without a doubt, the Yew Group!"
"From its initial obscurity, it miraculously rose to prominence in seven years, to now becoming outside of the Heavenly Sage Six Sects and the Battle Star Alliance. The most important force in the Flying Star Realm, the Yew World Group is definitely the biggest beneficiary of this war!"
"So, if you ask me, the real controller of the Yeworld Group, Sand Scorpion, is either the Lotus King or the Sea King. Five years ago, he faked his death in the Heavenly Demon Descent Battle No. It was to relax everyone's vigilance, and in fact, he has been hiding behind the scenes, manipulating everything!"
Li Yao was speechless.
"Go!"
Many of the students gave a disdainful gesture to the little fat man, this was the 10th Star Ring, the "Sand Scorpion" died in battle for the residents here, and was still very much honored in the hearts of the locals.
"You're full of shit!"
Another girl with a freckled face exclaimed with her arms crossed. "Sand Scorpion is the number one warrior of the six divisions of the Iron Plains, he personally beheaded the Mountain King, Yan Xibei, and died with the YuanYing level Star Pirate, the Underworld Blade, Zhuang Ziyou, so how could he be the Sea King, Lian Wang, of the Palace of Eternal Life?"
"If you ask me, the fact that the cultivation world has spent seven whole years without finding out who the Lotus King and the Sea King are means that they must be the least likely people to be suspected!"
"What kind of person is called 'the least likely to be suspected'?"
"There is one person. You must have never suspected it, and that is Li Yao who was the first to discover the existence of the Hall of Eternal Life!"
"Ha, you're all dumbfounded, you didn't expect it. That's right then, this is what the Eternal Life Hall wanted to achieve!"
"Come to think of it, isn't the emergence of Li Yao, the null 'big null hero', very strange? At such a young age, his hands are capable of soaring supersonic speeds, and his talent for refining weapons is already so outstanding. On the contrary, he is also a powerful armorer, it's simply incredible!"
"So ......"
Li Yao didn't wait for the girls to finish, the corner of his mouth tugged, and he accelerated his pace, leaving these middle school students.
He wasn't too surprised.
It wasn't the first time he had heard similar remarks.
These middle school students were just picking up on the rumors and spreading some rumors on the spirit internet.
After Li Yao returned to the Star Ocean, he spent quite a bit of time collecting and organizing information related to the Hall of Eternal Life on the Spirit Network.
He still hadn't given up on the idea of posting Xiao Xuanze's conspiracy directly onto the internet for all to see.
However,......
Li Yao discovered that as early as five years ago, the statement "The Taixu Warrior Program is a big conspiracy, and Xiao Xuanze is the Lotus King of the Hall of Eternal Life" had already been posted on the Spirit Network.
Together with this conspiracy theory, there are also "Sikou Lie is the Lotus King, and the Palace of Eternal Life is an organization created by dozens of small and medium-sized sects in a desperate attempt to eliminate the six major sects", "Sand Scorpion is the Lotus King, and the Palace of Eternal Life and the Iron Plains Star are in cahoots, and Yan Xixi's death was just a bitter trick", and "Li Xuanze is the King of Eternal Life, and the Palace of Eternal Life and the Iron Plains Star are in cahoots. ", "Li Yao is the Lotus King, otherwise how could a young man who somehow appeared have such a powerful strength"...... and so on and so forth conspiracy theories.
Every kind of conspiracy theory, at first glance, is said to have a good, silky, and even provides a lot of plausible evidence.
While those accused of being the Lotus King and the Sea King were far more than just Xiao Xuanze, Sikou Lie, Sand Scorpion, and Li Yao, they also included the patriarchs and elders of the Heavenly Sage's six clans, the top echelons of the Battle Star Alliance, and the patriarchs of several well-known cultivation clans.......
In a nutshell, when conspiracy theories were the most prevalent, almost every well-known cultivator was suspected of being an Immortal Cultivator.
If any sect's patriarch or elder hasn't been suspected of being an Immortal Cultivator, he's simply too embarrassed to go out and greet other daoists, that means, he's an insignificant small fry.
In the beginning, all the major sects took these conspiracy theories extremely seriously and invested a lot of manpower and resources to investigate.
Among them, the one that seemed to have the most conclusive evidence was none other than Xiao Xuanze and his Taixu Warrior Soldier program.
The Taixu Warrior Program, as a result, was also delayed for half a year, and even Xiao Xuanze, was nearly sent to the Special Court for trial.
However, after careful investigation, it was found that these so-called "evidence", are all false, deliberately planted, and even followed the trail, found a secret immortal cultivator organization, is the Palace of Eternal Life, specializing in the spiritual network of combat branch.
According to the members of this organization, most of the conspiracy theories were fabricated by them, with the aim of disrupting the hearts and minds of the cultivation world, consuming the cultivation world's resources, slandering the leading figures of the cultivation world such as Xiao Xuanze and Sikou Lie, and even divorcing the cultivation world from the Iron Origin Planet by cracking down on the Sand Scorpions.
