Chapter 911: A New Age On TheHorizon
The events of the Golden Life Pavilion were major, impacting many different alliances, interests, and relations.h.i.+ps. It brought to fore the gathering strength of the Golden Life Pavilion, displaying their means to all, while simultaneously gaining a hefty chunk for the heavily-spectated event itself. It was a brilliant move, yet the outcome left countless gawking in stunned disbelief.
Ma Zheng, the former Third Branch Manager of the Golden Life Pavilion, and one of the oldest living cultivators to date, had somehow claimed victory with two wins and a draw! A fabulous achievement that laid claim to the Pavilion Master seat in the most rightful manner.
Furthermore, his rival, his compet.i.tion, had been dealt with by a single blow, and left crippled, defeated, and at his last breath. Sheng Jizi was a renowned figure for thousands of years, his connections and business ac.u.men had driven the Golden Life Pavilion to greater heights, and there were very few that didn"t respect him wholeheartedly. To see such a figure tank to the lowest point, it was heartbreaking.
However, that was the fate of the defeated.
After the compet.i.tion, Sheng Jizi"s fate remained unknown as the Prosperous Arena was evacuated and the Spiritual Projection Obelisks lost their transmission. What everyone was left with was a succinct and wisely-crafted speech by Ma Zheng ensuring that interests, unless determined ill-suited to the Golden Life Pavilion"s core ideals, will remain firmly in place.
This brought quite a few with less astute minds relief. The Golden Life Pavilion, to many, was a lifeline that allowed them to stay afloat. Their bank, the Golden Life Bank, had given out fair-to-interest loans, interest savings for entire organizations, and contractual deals that relied on Sheng Jizi"s presence or relations. If these policies or deals changed, the number of organizations that"ll descend into abject poverty and chaos was too, too many.
Yet those who were more agile with their thoughts knew that Ma Zheng"s specific wording indicated an upcoming horizon of some changes and served as a warning to all that as the now-seated Pavilion Master, he held the strength to change these matters if these forces didn"t try anything…foolish.
There was already a coalition of Ascended beings forming to seek out Ma Zheng in the hopes of obtaining Sheng Jizi, either through pleasing or force. However, it didn"t take long, a mere few hours, before news spread that Sheng Jizi had departed from this world from his injuries, both from the fight and before the fight, which seemed to have been far more significant in his death than the injuries sustained during the fight. While the matter regarding past injuries couldn"t be verified with many stonewalling of the Golden Life Pavilion, there was nothing this last-ditch coalition of experts could do.
Ma Zheng, in the wake of this "sad" news, had revealed that Sheng Jizi"s clan will not be forgotten and will be taken care of, especially his immediate family to the fullest extent of the Golden Life Pavilion"s means. It seemed joyous, but the underlying meaning of this sent many chills through their bones.
The fate of the defeated.
The vocal members of the Ninestar Starfield were rampant, yet those with the power to demand Faye Liying were oddly silent. Those who had interests tied heavily to the Golden Life Pavilion deliberately suppressed these voices. While the Golden Life Pavilion operated mostly in the Aeternal Sky Starfield, not having as much of an influence on other starfields, this was a sign that caused many to lift their eyebrows curiously.
It was only when the rapidly spreading rumor that Faye Liying was an intended plant for Ma Zheng and by the Ninestar Sainthall, intending to select a candidate that might see their interests, elevating their relations to the next level, ushering it into a different age. An infectious rumor to those who had their ears to the ground. It began to cycle through most experts, and the dissenting voices that might have influenced the situation swiftly settled.
With this, almost every elite sensed that the climate of the world was changing rapidly, that this was definitely going to alter many things, and it was an unstoppable s.h.i.+ft. Some felt vigilant of this worldly trend, others were conceiving ways to maximize their gains and benefits, while others could only await their dreadful futures.
Yet this incoming horizon wasn"t without a greater change; the Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit was fast approaching, and while everyone was still reeling from all the events, this was an event that WILL define the next coming cultivation era. It"ll redefine what it means to be a genius, an already outdated concept that had congested the world with "geniuses".
The new age was coming!
And the Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit, the gathering of Saints, was without a doubt far greater than the Golden Life Pavilion"s change of owners.h.i.+p, especially to the common cultivator. Most were going to be largely unaffected by this change, because Ma Zheng"s leaders.h.i.+p under the Third Branch Manager was a heavy indicator of his skills as a businessman and personality; those who weren"t top-tier will likely experience little to no difference. Furthermore, the Golden Life Pavilion mostly operated out of the Aeternal Sky Pavilion as of now, so how could it bring drastic and immediate change to the other twenty-one starfields?
The vast majority of the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region was invested in the Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit. It was just unfortunate that the event itself will not be spiritually projected for everyone to view. It was a completely isolated, extremely important event that wouldn"t allow such a thing to occur. Moreover, the honor and reputations of Earthly Saints will likely be tested.
It was best not to publicly humiliate powerful figures; it was best to simply hear the post-event news and not see the extent of various events.
Despite its lack of public access, there will be certain avenues of updates that"ll be there for all to view, to speculate, to grow the continued interest, and while it might nor include the finer details, it"ll include decisions and viewpoints.

"Ah…uhn…nngh!" The sounds of sweet moaning through a bitten pillow could be heard. These sounds continued, enough to drive any being, male or female, into a state of arousal.
"Nnhn! Ah…Holy yes! Yes, ri-righ-right there! Ah…Ungh!!" Those moans grew in volume, rising in tone and intensity until a crescendo of pleasure was reached. The climax lasted as the voice trembled, vibrating from their quivering body.
"OooOoOOoOh!"
Three days after the Golden Life Pavilion"s compet.i.tion concluded, these sounds originated from the recently terraformed Neo-Origin, within a silver-colored Sky Palace that sat in the clouds, sufficient to put mortal mansions to absolute shame in design and structure, with beauty and elegance pushed to their limits.
It was the Original Dawn Palace, Wei Wuyin"s personally created palace constructed from his own energies, forged and outfitted with the Divine Edge Suppression Spell, preventing all fluctuations of energies, forces, and auras from leaking.
And that stimulating voice belonged to none other than the blind priestess, gorgeous and voluptuous as always, Si De!
After unintentionally creating an uproar through a ninth-grade transcendent product, Wei Wuyin had returned to the Neo-Origin and decided to satisfy his built-up carnal desires on the soft body of Si De. She had no objections, and this wasn"t their first, or even fifteenth session of theirs over the last three days.
Pa!
Wei Wuyin gave Si De"s exceptional rump a parting spank, taking a look at the alluring and shaking sight that many might kill for. He couldn"t help but form a grin.
"Oohh! My Holy Son…Mmm…my holy son…" Si De was clearly a little out of it. She was still basking in the afterglow of her recent experience. From the trembling of her legs, it was clear it was quite a heavy basking.
Wei Wuyin allowed Si De to rest for a few as he digested her yin energies with extreme quickness as he sat at the edge of the bed. While there was very little benefit to this, it was better to refine these energies sooner than later. As for Si De, her skin was glistening, her body was seemingly enhancing with every pa.s.sing minute, and despite her sightless eyes, there was a strong spiritual emission within.
She was experiencing drastic changes amidst each session.
Wei Wuyin was fully aware that his yang essence was impeccably potent, and when used for dual cultivating, it was far more beneficial than a ninth-grade product at this point. Considering his cultivation foundation, his stage, and his various heightened states such as the Zenith Origin State and Void Dragon Bloodline.
Right as concluded his refinement, his Saint Ring flickered with spiritual light. He felt the incoming spiritual transmission and immediately read it.
Wu Yu: "Xue Yifei and Wu Baozhai have decided to partic.i.p.ate in the Saint Cyclic Renewal Summit."
Wei Wuyin gently smiled. Wu Yu had been worried about Xue Yifei four months ago, rus.h.i.+ng off with Ma Zheng to ensure her safety. He left this task to him, and this was essentially confirmation that she was perfectly safe. He felt deeply relieved.
This was also double-layered, indicating that Wu Baozhai was safely within the Golden Life Pavilion"s Domain. She was safe as well.
Wei Wuyin was about to reply when he felt a hand touch his thigh. When he looked down, his eyes caught sight of a head full of silver hair, completely loose and outside its normally braided ponytail style. A slightly dazed Si De had found her way between his legs, her "sightless" eyes focused on a particular part of his body.
"Mmhm." A soft sound later and wet, suckling sounds resounded, clearly from the full mouth and throat trying to fit far more than it could handle.
It didn"t take long before the sound took over the room. Wei Wuyin decided to reply later, fully enjoying this moment with a vivacious blind priestess. He leaned back and let matters take its natural course.
However, life had other plans as he received another spiritual transmission. He briefly swept his senses over it, and his brows furrowed instantly. It was from Wen Mingna, and she had just discovered something interesting!
