Long Shou Jing looked at the distant palace, and stopped in his tracks.
It was not his first time coming to Ursa Major Constellation Palace. The palace in front of him was much more dilapidated than the last time he came, but it did not have the atmosphere of decline.
The active and full of vitality star power in the air, because it was the Master City, the star power was much more concentrated than any other place.
"What"s the star power concentration?" Long Shou Jing asked without turning back.
The eyes of the bodyguard beside him was filled with radiance, a number appeared in his vision, and quickly disappeared. He bowed: "Your highness, the star power concentration is 14%."
Long Shou Jing sighed, his face was pale white, his expression melancholic, his body was slightly frail, as though he would be blown away by the wind.
A young girl in a green gown beside him could not resist and said: "Brother Sshou Jing, do we truly not have a chance?"
Long Shou Jing quietly shook his head, looking at the distant King Bear Palace, his expression faintly said: "No. The loss of Vibrating Mountain Army, is the loss of our last chance."
"Why don"t we join Honorable Martial Group?" The young girl said unhappily.
"Then we will lose even more, they are much greedier." Long Shou Jing caressed the young girl"s head.
The young girl was only 13-14 years old, she was lively and adorable, her head was shaped like a rosy apple, she swung her head with a child"s temper, her apple face showed a brilliant smile, her neat hair swaying gently in the air.
But the young girl could somewhat feel Long Shou Jing"s emotions, she pouted, her face unhappy.
She replied hatefully: "Humph, His majesty and the rest are too useless! To actually retreat at such a moment! Lucky we have Brother Shou Jing!"
The bodyguard beside Long Shou Jing also revealed an angry look. The unprecedented danger faced by Draco Constellation, made everyone helpless, Prince Shou Jing had automatically thought of an idea, but he did not expect, The Draco Master would take advantage of the situation for his own benefit, and actually automatically give up the position of Master, and even the three successor in line of him were worse, one of them ran away in the middle of the night, the other two feigned illness.
In the end, the responsibility landed onto the fourth, Prince Shou Jing.
The guards around him were the most elite martial artists of Draco Constellation, the extreme display of Draco Master and the few other successors had made them all feel ashamed. If not or the fact that they had placed down roots in Draco Constellation for a long time, their families had become big, and if not for Prince Shou Jing"s actions, that made a bit of consolation, they would have long left Draco Constellation.
Liang Feng looked at Long Shou Jing with some interest. It originally was not his business, but the thoughts in his head from that day could not disappear. Four constellations joining as one, Ursa Major Constellation had gained the qualifications to become a tyrant, moving Liang Feng"s heart. After interacting more with Bing, and observing the two armies from a distance, he became more and more certain.
He realized that under Bing"s guidance, the large mechanical army"s strength was continuously increasing.
To have such a powerful military leader, and with the two outstanding armies, Ursa Major Constellations future potential was limitless. This judgement made him take the initiative. Although he was a saint, but he was also intelligent. The war would not end in the short term, and would get more and more intense, ultimately pulling in the entire Heaven"s Road. Although he was a powerful saint, but in such troubled times, life was as weak as gra.s.s.
He was well-versed in history, every time the world was in chaos, many saints would appear.
Nothing was better in grinding martial artists than real battles, and nothing could help martial artists grow faster than battles. Battles allowed martial artists to become stronger and their power to grow, and it also allowed armies to become bigger and stronger.
Furthermore, he was not alone, he had his family and his disciple.
Any developing powerhouse, had even more intense longing for talent than the stabilized powerhouses.
Liang Feng decided to travel with Long Shou Jing, and the actions of Long Shou Jing the past few days had earned his recognition.
Only in true danger can the real actions of a person appear.
In normal days, the first three successors were all outstanding, extremely dazzling, while Prince Shou Jing never had the feeling of existence, if not for him taking the initiative to suggest joining Ursa Major Constellation, everyone would had forgotten that he was as successor.
After taking over the mess, Prince Shou Jing immediately set his heart out, personally visiting the other party"s chief commander, after that he journeyed through day and night towards the Ursa Major Palace.
To witness Prince Shou Jing"s hard work, all of them respected him.
Long Shou Jing heard the young girl"s words, chuckled, then rubbed her head, saying: "Xiao Ju Zi, don"t be upset, our current situation is not that bad honestly. Draco Master is not easy work, being a puppet is easier."
"But…." Xiao Ju Zi anxiously replied.
"We lost." Long Shou Jing looked at Xiao Ju Zi, his expression calm: "All who lose have to pay a price, this price, is already considered light."
He knelt down, smiling, he patted her shoulders: "And, it is like going back to our old life, quietly and peacefully."
He stood up, walked up to the front: "Let"s go, let us go and meet, the one who calls himself the G.o.dlike young man!"
Ursa Major Palace.
Tang Tian was in terrible shape.
"Envoy of Immortal Martial, requests to visit Master!"
"Envoy of Aquila Constellation, is here to deliver an invitation…"
"Master, Ursa Major Constellation foodstuff prices have all increased dramatically, many trades have closed their shops."
"Master, many unknown people have appeared outside the various Star Doors."
Tang Tian felt as if his scalp was going to explode, with all the subordinates watching him. All the subordinates were the very fast batch of Lupus martial artists, and had all initiated to undertake various affairs by Tang Tian"s side.
After that, all the various affairs, like a 100 creeks converging at the sea, reached Tang Tian.
Tang Tian was dumbstruck, G.o.dlike young man, never knew all these things….
Crane was not back yet, Bing was stationed at Draco Constellation, even Huo Ma Er, was at Lupus Constellation. Tang Tian, stunned, found that he had no other people, oh, there was one more.
"Little Xu Xu, do you have any ideas?" Tang Tian looked at him in antic.i.p.ation.
Ling Xu turned his face, and said confidently: "It"s simple."
Tang Tian became ecstatic: "What is it what is it?"
LIng Xu raised up his spear and said with a confident face: "Spear every single one of them to death!"
Tang Tian: "……"
I knew it, I am slightly smarter than Little Xu Xu, Tang Tian cried in his heart.
"Master, Draco Constellation"s envoy is seeking an audience with you."
Draco Constellation, Tang Tian"s mind surfaced the list given by Bing.
3 hundred billion star coins, 10 eighth level vibrating mountain beasts, two gold ranked treasures, 10 unique martial cards, 400 tons of Dragon Crystal Spirit Core Ores!
What a tyrant!
Such a tyrant, how can we let them wait? Oh, I better think of a way to plunder some out….
"Quickly invite him in!" Tang Tian suddenly smiled, throwing all the worries to the side.
"Draco Constellation Long Shou Jing greets your Majesty!"
Long Shou Jing respectfully greeted.
"Just call me Tang Tian." Tang Tian was extremely uncomfortable with the term "Your Majesty", and he started to size Long Shou Jing up. No wonder he was called a hand towel, he looks like he would fly when the wind blows…. Eh, why does the aura of the hand towel, feels similar to Little Crane…..oh, people who look like that, they all seem to be smarter….
Long Shou Jing was also secretly sizing up Tang Tian.
The name G.o.dlike young man, was currently famous. There were too many marvels on Tang Tian, he was like a riddle created from marvels.
Long Shou Jing"s first reaction was, so young! To be hailed as "Young Man", his age was definitely not high, but to personally see that Tang Tian was younger than 17 or 18, looking like an ordinary student, his mind started to shake.
He enjoyed a simple life, did not like power struggles, but with regards to his own talent, he knew of what he could and could not do. But looking at the extremely young Tang Tian, his focus became distracted.
No matter what he could do, he definitely could not be like Tang Tian, to be so young and establish such a large foundation!
At that time, I was still at the academy, in some corner, enjoying life…..
Long Shou Jing was not the only one who suffered the shock, even Liang Feng who travelled along with him, upon seeing Tang Tian"s gaze, looked as if he saw a ghost. As a saint, Liang Feng"s position in Draco Constellation was absolute, where countless young talents who would even be willing to break their heads to enter his sword garden. He had seen countless talents, but he had never seen a talent, that was so perverse like the one in front of him, on par with him.
He was a saint, his eyes were sharp and acute, and in his eyes, emerged a terrifying scene.
All the star power of Ursa Major Constellation, was flowing into Tang Tian"s body then surging out again, dissipating into the air and ground.
Tang Tian actually became the core of Ursa Major Constellations star power!
Any saint who saw the scene, would all feel heartfelt fear. The flow of star power was not fast, on the contrary, was extremely slow, where normal martial artists were unable to realize it. But, its amount was astronomical, and the sight of the slow flow was astonishing.
The illusion that he saw the moment he stepped into the palace, was not an illusion!
He had a silver plate the size of a star coin hidden in his sleeves, and in the next moment, he lowered his head and swept past his eye, immediately a light aura flashed in his eye.
27%!
The star power concentration inside the palace, actually reached a surprising 27%!
That number, had already reached the standard of the 10 Equatorial Palace Halls.
27% Star power concentration was never seen before in the 5 Polar Domains, and Liang Feng could accurately sense that the concentration was still growing.
Of course, that was not the true reason why he was surprised, with his saint power, even the 12 Ecliptic Palaces, would treat him as a guest of honor. Currently, to him, raising the concentration of star power did not help him much in any way.
What he could not believe, and had never heard before, was how any saint treasure would be willing to help him as it was helping Tang Tian.
Desolate Bear Bone…..
What kind of hope and antic.i.p.ation did it actually place on Tang Tian.
Suddenly, he thought of a matter, and his body instantly froze.
Could it be….. Ursa Majors Constellations destroyed inheritance was actually inside the Desolate Bear Bone?
Just at that moment, he suddenly heard Tang Tian"s happy voice.
"Hey Hand towel, if the foodstuff price is extremely high now, and many traders have closed shop, what do you do?"
Ling Xu who was at the side opened his eyes wide like a cat that sensed danger, sweeping his b.u.t.tocks and moving far away. When Crazy Tang used that tone of speaking, the person at the end of it was the most unlucky person.
Long Shou Jing who was stunned quickly replied: "Have someone speculate the market, intimidate the smaller shops at night, and then progressively establish and improve the market."
As expected…. A clever hand towel!
Tang Tian was grinning from ear to ear, with a just face: "Hand towel, can you help me with something?"
Long Shou Jing recovered his senses, a foreboding feeling rising in his heart, but he could only harden his skin and reply: "Please speak Your Majesty, if it is within Shou Jing"s ability…."
"I Just knew that hand towel is a straightforward hand towel!" Tang Tian interrupted Long Shou Jing without hesitation, turned over to the group of Lupus martial artists who were huddled together: "Hey, all the problems that you have, go and ask him!"
Long Shou Jing, with his puzzled face, was immediately surrounded with the tide of martial artists.
At the door of the palace, Tang Tian"s backview was seen escaping extremely clearly.

When Crane returned back to Ursa Major Palace travel-worn, he was taken for surprise.
The majestic palace was gone, covered with martial artists everywhere, all of them continuously flattening the palace.
"Prince Crane!"
Upon seeing Crane, all the busy Lupus Martial artists all immediately stood up to greet him.
"What are all of you doing?" Crane asked with surprise.
"Flattening the palace, His Majesty requested the entire palace to be flattened, the entire capital city to be flattened, and all the citizens of the capital city have moved out. Prince Crane has arrived in the nick of time, our manpower is currently insufficient." The martial artist replied to him happily.
What was crazy Tang up to again? Crane muttered, Ursa Major Palace was created from the blood sweat and tears of Yan Yong Lie. It"s atmosphere was majestic, and a spectacular sight. The capital city had experienced many years of operation, to be able to be what it was currently, why was Tang Tian actually destroying everything?
Crane felt that it was strange, but he did not panic.
He understood Tang Tian, although Crazy Tang was usually spastic, but he was a miser, and definitely would not throw star coins around, such a big consumption, to be able to make such a decision, there was definitely another reason.
Crane followed along the rubbles of the palace, and quickly found Tang Tian.
Upon seeing Crane, Tang Tian"s eyes lit up, he jumped up and waved his hands: "Little Crane!"
Shua, everyone"s eyes turned to look at Crane.
Crane stopped in his tracks, resisting the urge to pierce a sword into his heart, and acted nonchalantly while walking forward: "Such a drastic movement, what is it about?"
"Haha! That is, this G.o.dlike young man"s world-shaking plans!" Tang Tian replied happily.
Crane ignored him, his gaze landed on the pale and sick looking Long Shou Jing, and said with surprise: "You are?"
"I am Long Shou Jing." Long Shou Jing greeted: "I greet Prince Crane."
Young Ju Zi who was by his side also followed along to greet in her high pitched voice: "Big brother Prince Crane, I am Long Ju Zi!"
The expressions of the martial artists around Long Shou Jing became respectful, the black robed young man was the rumored Prince Crane. There was a floating rumor outside, that Crane was most probably wielding the power of Sagittarius Constellation. This rumor was never confirmed by the Empress, but more importantly, the empress did not even appoint a successor for Sagittarius Constellation, causing the rumor to become even more trustworthy.
Crane smiled: "h.e.l.lo, Prince Shou Jing, h.e.l.lo, Miss Ju Zi!"
"Xiao Ju Zi, you clearly look like an apple, why are you called Xiao Ju Zi?" Tang Tian looked inquisitively.
(TN: Xiao Ju Zi is actually a tangerine, an orange.)
The veins on Xiao Ju Zi"s forehead contracted, she held herself back. Xiao Ju Zi must be mature, I cannot give brother Shou Jing trouble….
Ling Xu glanced at Tang Tian angrily: "Childish!"
Tang Tian turned his head in astonishment: "Then tell me, does she look like an apple or a tangerine?"
Ling Xu glanced over, then said: "Apple."
You a.s.sholes….
Crane looked at Xiao Ju Zi"s pouting mouth, the tears spinning in her eyes, and he immediately said gently: "Xiao Ju Zi is really pretty!"
"Really?" Xiao Ju Zi raised her head up quickly, her face became expectant and slightly embarra.s.sed.
"Of course!" Crane took out a little gift to console her: "This is a little Crane, it is a gift for Xiao Ju Zi, only a pretty girl like Miss Ju Zi can wear it on."
Xiao Ju Zi happily accepted it: "Thank you Big Brother Prince Crane."
Long Shou Jing revealed a smile, seems like, these people are not too hard to interact with….
"Fake good!" Tang Tian looked disdainfully.
"Hypocrite." Ling Xu spat.
Crane looked helpless, he did not know how to handle Tang Tian, so he coughed: "So what is this world-shaking plan of yours?"
As expected, Tang Tian laughed out loud, a proud look on his face, he said: "Hand towel, explain it to Little Crane."
Hand Towel….a feeling of empathy surfaced in Crane"s heart, as expected, sincere people are the ones to get bullied.
Long Shou Jing could only speak up: "This is a discovery by Master Liang Feng. Master Liang Feng discovered that the star power of the entire Ursa Major Constellation, is circulating through His Majesty."
Crane"s eyes lit up, an indescribable aura suddenly burst forth, causing the minds of the surrounding martial artists to react, feeling a cold.
Even for Liang Feng who was a saint, he could not help but want to roll his eyes, he had been meeting too many perverse characters recently, causing his entire life to be in ridicule.
Although Long Shou Jing was surprised, he was not impacted much, and said: "after studying it we realized, the closer we are to Master, the higher the star power concentration. With Master as the center, the star power concentration is highest within a radius of 1 li, and is currently at 29%, after that, every further li, the concentration drops by 1%. Currently Ursa Major Constellation"s average star power concentration is 15%. That also means, with Master as the center, there is a radius of 14 li region of high concentration star power."
Crane listened quietly, and did not b.u.t.t in.
Long Shou Jing continued: "To a saint or a half step saint martial artist, the star power concentration has no meaning to them, as their true power is already close to its limit. But to a low level martial artist, it is able to greatly shorten the duration for them to train. So His Majesty has decided, to create a brand new training area."
Crane nodded his head, but was puzzled: "But you don"t have to tear down the palace."
Tang Tian scoffed: "of course we have to, it is the star power concentration, every piece of land is precious! We cannot waste any of it, on those obstructing palaces. Furthermore, the a.s.sholes from the city are going against me, doing sneaky things in the dark, they were all handled by hand towel, how could we give them such good benefits, so I had them all moved away."
Crane was curious: "What do you plan to do with the palace?"
Tang Tian"s gloating face became even more apparent: "I am going to build a very very big egg, and erect a strong and st.u.r.dy pillar inside it, which will also be very tall. After that I will hang many strong ropes, hanging as many ropes as I can at every level, stretching out from the pillar. After that everyone can sit on the ropes and train. Oh, O plan to dig downwards too, and use ropes. The more ropes the better, it will not take up s.p.a.ce. Cramming everyone inside to fully make use of it."
Crane listened in shock, his mind surfaced an extremely gigantic pillar that shot to the sky, the countless densely packed st.u.r.dy ropes, like a spider web stretching out 14 li, as if every rope was hanging dried meat, full of it, oh no, seated full of martial artists…..
That scene, was truly too scary!
Crane dared to confirm, if any constellation tried to scout, and witness such a shocking scene, they would definitely be unable to gather the courage to find trouble with Ursa Major Constellation.
Martial artists which were like a swarm of locusts…..
Crane shivered all over.
Crane brought 1 million people over, and none of them were too old or young or too weak, all of them the strongest youths of Lupus Constellation.
The speed of the [Bear Egg] plan greatly increased, because it was a training area, and shaped like an egg, Tang Tian decided to call it Bear Egg.
Whoever heard of that name revealed a disturbed expression.
A bear does not lay eggs ok….
On the day that the Bear Egg was completed, everyone was still intimidated by the structure that they personally constructed. It was as if they were inside a gigantic egg, the st.u.r.dy and dense bronze pillar, stood erect right at the center of the egg. The numerous ropes, stretched out like a spider web, digging into the interior of the walls. Wherever the ropes were connected to was an entrance, so martial artists only had to use these entrances, and step onto the ropes and use light body techniques to advance forward.
Every short interval of distance was a striking indication, reminding martial artists of the stark power concentration.
Adrian was shocked for a long time, the structure in front of him, was a marvel.
Every rope had a different length, the longest spanning 14 li, which was 7 km. The shortest was 6 li, which was 3 km. And on the rope, there was a s.p.a.ce of about 1.5 m between each person. That also meant, the longest rope could hold 4000 martial artists. The shortest rope could hold 1500 martial artists.
The Bear Egg largest capacity at any one time, was 520 thousand people!
It was definitely the biggest training facility in history.
The current star power concentration of the bear egg had already reached 31%.This scary number, was already extremely close to the star power concentration of s.e.xtans Constellation of the 10 Equatorial Palace Halls. As it stood, s.e.xtans Constellation was able to rely on its 33% star power concentration to become the most famous training and cultivation constellation of Heaven"s Road.
The normal places of Ursa Major Constellation"s star power concentration had reached 17%, exceeding Yan Yong Lie"s generation, and it was still growing.
Furthermore, Tang Tian had not swallowed Draco Constellation. If he was to devour and merge Draco Constellation"s saint treasure, then the strength of Ursa Major Constellation would soar once again!
Adrian did not know why Tang Tian did not swallow Draco Constellation, but the scene in front of him already left an extremely deep impression.
Lupus Martial artists were cannon fodder, but the 1 million cannon fodder was a terrifying number. The movement of 1 million cannon fodder was something that could not be concealed. From Lupus Constellation to Ursa Major Constellation, they needed to pa.s.s through Andromeda Constellation. When the 1 million Lupus martial artist group surged into Andromeda Constellation, it caused a huge uproar and panic.
The constellations around Andromeda Constellations who originally held possession of the Star Doors, upon witnessing the Lupus tide, all of them were practically scared aghast, pulling back all their power and retreating!
In just one night, Andromeda Constellation which was changed beyond recognition, recovered its original state.
The scene caused Angelina"s mood to become complicated, she immediately chose a few potential Andromeda martial artists and sent them to Ursa Major Constellation.
And Adrian immediately became, the Dean of the 1 million Lupus martial artists.
The Dean of the Bear Egg Martial Academy.
Adrian had the name of Hunter, and was the one who personally brought up an unknown academy in Orion Constellation to become the number 1 Academy. But, 1 million students, adding all the students he had in his career, he never had that many.
Adrian"s mind was in a mess, complicated not because of the challenge, but, he was still a captive….
He could not understand Tang Tian"s thinking at all.
How stupid was he, to hand 1 million people over to a captive?
Was he not afraid that I will do something about it?
He shook his head, throwing away all the doubts in his mind. No matter what Tang Tian thought, he too will not give up on his ideals. Maybe, he might be able to think of some way which would help Orion Constellation. Single handedly killing his way back would not be of help at all, staying here, he might be able to think of a way to affect Tang Tian, and influence Ursa Major Constellation. That would help Orion Constellation much more significantly.
Just that….all of you, have to hold on for a little longer.
He turned his head, looking in the direction of Orion Constellation, his heart screaming.
