If the killing calamity of the star gods begins, and the immortals and gods in heaven reincarnate into the mortal world one after another, and the entire cultivation world is like a feast and carnival, then for the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will be a devastating disaster.
If there was anyone who didn't want the killing calamity of the Star God to begin, it was the Great Zhou royal family that was the first to do so. In addition to all kinds of rumors emerging in various counties, the major power groups were secretly connecting with each other. Dozens of Yi countries in the south and Rong tribes in the north, which had originally submitted to the emperor, also began to test the Central Plains.
Emperor Kong Yan, who had been the emperor for nearly a hundred years and had become somewhat tired and lazy and no longer held morning court, had recently summoned the three dukes and nine ministers one after another. He even wanted to go south to tour various counties to intimidate the major aristocratic families who were currently ready to make moves, as well as the immortal sects who were hiding behind the scenes and fanning the flames.
However, a tribe of the Rong people in the north looted and massacred the border villages of the Great Zhou. The Rong people continued to provoke the border. Although they were defeated by the Wuwei Marquis of the Shendu Army, the border was unstable. The emperor still wanted to tour the south at this time. The civil and military officials in the court tried their best to dissuade him, so he gave up.
Emperor Kong Yan even wanted to meet Jia Yi, the immortal from the upper realm, who was the immortal envoy from heaven and had created the killing calamity against the star gods. However, the entire Lingshu Mountain had already left Dongzhou. Although he was the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, compared with Jia Yi, the immortal envoy from heaven, the difference was that between an immortal and a mortal. For the emperor to meet him, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Emperor Kong Yan was so furious that he crushed the white jade floor of the imperial study with one blow.
When Li Tianxing, the director of the Imperial Observatory, arrived, he saw the repair craftsmen and eunuchs tidying up the imperial study. He met Emperor Kong Yan in a side hall.
"Li Tianxing! I asked you to find out why the fortune of the Great Zhou suddenly declined and who was the one who brought disaster to the Great Zhou. How long has it been?"
"It's fine if we haven't found the person and the reason! The Star God's killing calamity has begun, and I asked you to come up with a solution. You have repeatedly evaded me. Look at your memorial, it's full of nonsense."
As soon as Emperor Kong Yan saw Li Tianxing, he immediately reprimanded him. Li Tianxing immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Kong Yan.
"Your Majesty! I have already found some clues. I came here today to inform Your Majesty."
The emperor, who had been rebuking with anger in his eyes, finally showed a slight smile on his face, but looked at Li Tianxing with suspicion: "Oh? Really?"
"Stand up and sit down, and tell me quickly!"
Kong Yan sat on the chair, still cupping his hands: "The rise and fall of the fortune of the Great Zhou is because this time the Star Lord's killing calamity has begun. The person with the Purple Star Fate has reincarnated in the Great Zhou. The Purple Star is the Emperor Star. This star will reincarnate into the lower world and will surely cause chaos in the Great Zhou and the world."
“So no matter whether it is the rise and fall of the Great Zhou’s fortune, or the calamities that are afflicting the world, including this Star Lord’s killing calamity, the most important key lies on this Ziwei Emperor Star.”
Emperor Kong Yan slammed the table and said, "It is indeed a demon star descending to the mortal world! It is causing chaos in our Great Zhou!"
"We must find this evil star and get rid of it. Only then can the world be peaceful and the Great Zhou be stable."
Li Tianxing shook his head and continued, "We must find this person with the Purple Star Fate, but we can't kill him rashly."
The emperor didn't understand, but he knew that Li Tianxing must have his own plan when he said this: "Why?"
Li Tianxing: "This time the killing calamity begins, the people with the Ziwei star destiny will reincarnate into the lower world. Every person with the star destiny is the reincarnation of an immortal from the upper world. If you kill them rashly, their own destiny and fate will definitely resist with all their might."
"And if we kill them, the Purple Star Fate will choose another master and will not disappear. If the killing calamity is not completed, the Purple Star Fate will not return to the upper realm."
The emperor put his hand on the table, as if he knew that Li Tianxing's next words would clear up his confusion and point out a clear path for Da Zhou: "What should we do then?"
Sure enough, Li Tianxing suddenly stood up and knelt down to Emperor Kong Yan: "Only if Your Majesty occupies the fate of this Purple Star can you fulfill the destiny of this Purple Star."
"By then, Your Majesty will be able to integrate the luck of the Purple Star and the immortal gods of the upper realm. Moreover, as an emperor star, it is also an important part of the Star Lord's killing calamity. Your Majesty will be able to take the initiative in this Star Lord's killing calamity, and my Great Zhou will be able to soar into the sky with this killing calamity."
Li Tianxing looked at Emperor Kong Yan: "If so, once the killing calamity is completed, Your Majesty will be the Purple Star Lord of the Heavenly Court in the upper realm, and our Great Zhou will be immortal for thousands of years."
Emperor Kong Yan only felt a shudder from the soles of his feet to the back of his neck at this moment, and his whole body was filled with an indescribable excitement. There was no more fear or panic in his eyes, and he even revealed an incomparable greed and ecstasy: "Are you telling the truth, my dear minister?"
Li Tianxing: "It is absolutely true. This time, the aristocratic families, cultivators and gods from all over the world have come out one after another. There are also overseas cultivators and demons who have come across the sea. They are all for the position of Star Lord."
"If others can covet the position of Star Lord, why can't Your Majesty?"
Even though Emperor Kong Yan is the lord of the Central Plains of Dongzhou, his cultivation is only at the third level, and it was forced up by elixirs. He cannot enter the realm of immortality and is still just a mortal. At this moment, someone tells him that he actually has the opportunity to become an immortal god in the upper realm, and the lord of the Ziwei Emperor Star, the Ziwei Star Lord. The emperor can't help but go crazy.
In an instant, the Star Lord's killing calamity that had originally made him panic, in his eyes, turned into an opportunity for the entire Great Zhou.
Emperor Kong Yan was excited for a moment, but calmed down in an instant: "But this demon star has been reincarnated into the lower world for so long, and there is still no trace. How can we find these demons who are causing trouble for the Great Zhou?"
Li Tianxing: "My humble Taoist skills may not be enough to find the reincarnation of Ziwei Xing Ming who is hiding in the human world, so I plan to go back to Tianxing Sect and then meet my master through the method of passing on books through incense."
"If you want to find the reincarnation of Ziwei Xingming, I'm afraid the only one who can find it is my master, Tianxingzi."
Hearing this name, Emperor Kong Yan also showed a trace of admiration in his eyes: "I know! He is the immortal who founded the Tianxing Sect and later ascended to the upper realm."
"He is said to hold the secrets of heaven and be able to change the world. He even followed Taizu to conquer the world."
"If this immortal is willing to help, he will definitely be able to find the whereabouts of that demon."
Li Tianxing also has great respect for his master: "My name, Li Tianxing, was given to me by my master, meaning that I should inherit his legacy."
"But to be honest, with my cultivation and aptitude, I am afraid that I will never be able to catch up with Master in this lifetime."
Emperor Kong Yan took Li Tianxing to talk by candlelight all night, and Li Tianxing did not leave until late at night. The next day, he rushed to the gate of Tianxing Sect beside the Qianli Wine Pool and paid a visit to Yun Wei, the current head of Tianxing Sect.
Li Tianxing and Yun Wei are both disciples of Tianxingzi, the founder of Tianxing Sect. However, one is the director of the Imperial Observatory in the Great Zhou Dynasty, holding the power over the Shintoism of Central Earth and is very powerful, while the other has inherited Tianxingzi's Taoist tradition and becomes the head of the Tianxing Sect.
Inside the main hall of the mountain gate, although Li Tianxing was the director of the Imperial Observatory, he still had to bow in front of his senior brother, the head of the sect, and then he began to explain the purpose of his visit.
"This so-called Star Lord Killing Tribulation means that the person with the star destiny will respond to his own destiny, start the tribulation, draw in the power of the stars in the sky, and ascend to the position of Star Lord."
“So this killing calamity does not necessarily mean that the fate of the Great Zhou has ended, nor does it mean that the dynasty will change. It just means that all the people with the star destiny must respond to the calamity and let the Zhou Tian Xingjun return to his position.”
Li Tianxing expressed his thoughts, wanting the head senior brother to agree with his point of view and fully support him in supporting the Great Zhou Dynasty. He wanted to fight for the destiny of the Ziwei Emperor Star in this star killing calamity, and then use the destiny of this emperor star to reverse the direction of the entire killing calamity in the early stage of it.
Turn the entire killing calamity into nourishment for the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that the Great Zhou Dynasty will become the biggest winner.
Yun Wei is much older than Li Tianxing, with almost completely white hair and beard. He sits cross-legged under the statue of the founder in the main hall of the mountain gate, closing his eyes to rest, without even moving his brows. “How can it be so simple? Once the star god’s killing calamity begins, people with the star destiny of Wenqu and Wuqu may be able to complete their calamity fate without the arrival of the chaotic times. But what about people with the star destiny of Sha Po Lang Sanxing, Ziwei Dixing, Tiangang Disha, etc?”
"As soon as the three stars of Tan Lang, Po Jun and Qi Sha appeared, the Emperor Star of Zi Wei cut off the luck of the Great Zhou Dynasty and reincarnated into the lower world. There were also people with the stars who were born to meet the calamity, and they were reincarnated as immortals and gods."
"Most of them, if they want to escape the catastrophe and become the Star Lord of Heaven, must overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty in order to finally complete their own killing catastrophe."
"If the world is not in chaos and the Great Zhou is not destroyed, how can these people with star destiny be born?"
"This Great Zhou must perish, otherwise how can so many people with star destinies open their destiny and act in accordance with it?"
Li Tianxing immediately retorted: "Although these people are the ones who start the killing calamity, the one who guides and presides over the entire killing calamity must be someone with the Purple Star Emperor Fate."
"We can break it and then build it. The Great Zhou Emperor will seize the fate of the Purple Star Emperor and recapture the Three Evil Stars. With the fate of the Purple Star Emperor, we can break the situation of Sha Po Lang by controlling all the people with the fate of the stars?"
Yun Wei shook her head: "It's so hard! This is simply going against the will of heaven, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Seeing that he could not convince the head brother, Li Tianxing brought up the matter he had mentioned in the previous letter: "Brother, have you calculated the fate of the prince? Is it possible that he has the fate of Ziwei Star?"
Yun Wei shook his head: "I can't figure it out yet. The secrets of heaven are so chaotic that even the immortals in the upper realms can't deduce them. But based on my guesses, it's not far off. It should be Kang Jinlong, not Emperor Star."
Kang Jinlong can be considered as the fate of a true dragon emperor, but compared with Ziwei Emperor Star, it is far inferior, especially in this star killing disaster. Li Tianxing sighed repeatedly: "What a pity! What a pity!"
"I want to borrow the Patriarch's Hall and use incense to send a letter to pay respect to the Patriarch."
The head of Tianxing Sect, Yun Wei, raised his head at this time and looked at Li Tianxing, his eyes gleaming with brilliance as he stared at him intently: "You want the ancestor to help you figure out who the person with the Ziwei star destiny is, right? I just said that the heavenly secrets are in chaos, and even the gods in the upper realms can't figure anything out."
Facing the pressure from the head brother, Li Tianxing still said firmly: "Junior brother still wants to try!"
Tianxing Sect's head, Yun Wei, looked cold: "Humph! If you want to give it a try, I won't stop you! But this time, the Tianxing Sect will not intervene. There are so many disciples under my sect, I can't just watch them walk into this fire pit."
Li Tianxing hurriedly shouted: "Senior Brother..."
The headmaster Yun Wei walked away in a huff: "No need to say more! I am the headmaster of the Tianxing Sect. Master gave me the Tianxing Sect and his legacy because he wanted me to protect this lineage, instead of rashly getting involved in this killing calamity and causing the lives of the Tianxing Sect disciples to be lost in vain."
Finally, Li Tianxing, the director of the Imperial Observatory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, could only go to the ancestral hall of the Tianxing Sect alone, light a stick of incense, and want to communicate with the upper realm in his soul during the Qingming Festival, but he never received a response.
After trying several times, Li Tianxing could only leave sadly.
Afterwards, in the Tianxing Sect's ancestral hall, one can see the sect's leader and elders gathered together. The door of the hall was closed, and lights were lit inside, illuminating the portrait of the ancestor.
Yun Wei, the head of Tianxing Sect, was the first to speak: "I'm afraid that Li Tianxing has already turned away from us. Does he still know that he is a member of Tianxing Sect and a person of the present world?"
"He has probably been a slave of the Great Zhou for so long that he has long forgotten that he is a disciple of the Tianxing Sect and a cultivator pursuing the free and unrestrained immortal path!"
An elder of the Tianxing Sect immediately asked, "Does Li Tianxing know about the reincarnation of Tianxingzi Patriarch?"
Yun Wei sneered: "I already knew that this person and I were disloyal, so why would I tell him? I have already arranged for Yun Qian and Yun Xiu to go and meet the reincarnation of the founder. It seems that the broken ship of the Great Zhou will sink sooner or later. We must make plans early. Compared with the position of the Star Lord of the Heavenly Court, the Great Zhou is already dispensable to us."
Another young-looking elder asked, "The four divine armies of the Great Zhou are still here, with hundreds of thousands of warriors, enough to subdue the world. Can we consider what Li Tianxing said?"
As soon as he said this, he saw an old woman beside him sneering: "Subdue the world? That's because the immortals and gods of various sects were either on the side of the Great Zhou or too lazy to interfere in the human world and were determined to ascend to the upper realm. How many immortals and gods have reincarnated into the lower realm now?"
"Besides, the reason why the Great Zhou was able to dominate the world was because the secret technique of training heavenly soldiers was obtained by the Great Zhou. Now, all the major sects have already mastered this method. Which sect does not have its own secret technique of Taoist soldiers, and which aristocratic family does not train its own warriors and the technique of integrating divine blood."
The old woman's statement was agreed by everyone else, including the leader Yun Wei, who was not optimistic about the Great Zhou Dynasty at all.
"How should we plan?"
"First, start with the three stars of Sha Po Lang and Zi Wei Emperor Star that started the killing calamity. We must find their whereabouts. As for the rest, we can wait until Senior Brother Tian Xingzi returns and we get news from the upper realm."
"In addition, when the people from Dan Ding Pavilion arrive, we should also find a way to mobilize the four military marquises who have mastered the martial arts to strengthen the army. These are all martial arts immortals who have cultivated the immortal bodies of gods and demons, and they are worth winning over."
