Chapter 549: Tavern Rumors
Amid the steaming alcohol in the pub, the constant waves of discussion almost blew the roof off.
Several men with red faces slammed their hands on the table, their saliva mixed with the aroma of wine flying everywhere:
"Did you see that terrifying vision three days ago? It might be related to the Sequence Conflict! I heard that on the eve of the last great Sequence Conflict, a space-time rift directly opened up in a certain star field!"
"Humph, just based on that vision, you think you can link it to the sequence dispute?" The drunken gray-robed monk in the corner sneered, and half of the wine stain spilled from the wine gourd in his hand.
"Do you know who topped the Grand Sequence Ranking in the previous Grand Sequence? The "Heavenly Abyss Sword Master" from the Cangxuan Star Region.
One strike of the sword can split three galaxies!"
"You can't say that." The one-eyed man spat on the ground and slammed his rough palm on the wooden table, causing ripples in the sake in the bowl.
“There are quite a few tough guys hiding in the Fuguang Star Region this time.
I heard that the chief disciple under the Eclipse Moon Star Master has already passed the Second Sequence level and is waiting to make a splash at the Grand Sequence level!
The discussion among the crowd became more and more heated, and in the midst of the arguments, the words "sequence dispute" were mentioned repeatedly.
Li Yi's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, and his eyes passed through the mist of alcohol and fell on the monks who were talking loudly.
He noticed that whenever someone mentioned these four words, a mixture of fanaticism and awe would flash in the eyes of everyone present.
"Do you all know the rules of this sequence competition?" A pale-faced scholar waving a folding fan suddenly spoke, his deliberately raised voice attracting the attention of the whole audience.
"Each galaxy first selects ninety-nine small sequence geniuses after countless rounds of competition.
Now that the battle of this order has passed, the 99,999 most outstanding geniuses in the universe,
They're all fighting tooth and nail for the ninety-nine spots in the Grand Sequence!"
"Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!? This elimination rate..." someone gasped.
The scholar tapped his folding fan lightly on his palm, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "The more brutal things are yet to come! The battle of the Great Sequence is not just a battle of strength.
Comprehension of laws, space travel, time control, and even understanding of the origin of the universe are all assessment criteria.
I heard that everyone in the top ten of the last Grand Sequence possessed a unique source of power!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter from the neighboring table:
"So what? Our Fuguang Star Region is the core of the universe! Those geniuses from the peripheral galaxies can't even use their Star Force properly when they come here, and they still want to compete for Sequence?"
This remark caused a burst of laughter, but also made Li Yi's eyes flicker slightly.
He remembered that when he first arrived in the star field, he was indeed a little uncomfortable due to the suppression of the laws. The sense of superiority of these local monks was not unreasonable.
"Have you heard?" The drunken gray-robed monk suddenly lowered his voice.
"This Great Sequence Battle seems to be related to the legendary 'Relics of Divine Inheritance'..."
His words were like a huge rock dropped into a deep pool, and the tavern instantly became quiet.
Everyone held their breath in concentration as the cultivator continued, "It is said that the inheritance left by the Fuguang Star Spirit is hidden in the reward for being at the top of the Sequence List!"
The discussion resumed, but with a greater frenzy than before. Li Yi swirled his wine glass, sorting out this information in his mind.
From the strange phenomenon in heaven and earth three days ago, to the mysterious golden inscription, to the sequence dispute that is shaking the universe today, all clues seem to be pointing to a shocking secret.
And he may be standing on the edge of this cosmic feast.
The noise in the tavern grew louder and louder, and several monks, with red faces, slammed their hands on the table and argued:
"If we talk about this Grand Sequence Competition, Xiao Wuque of the Fuguang Xiao Clan will definitely be in the top ten!
I heard that he has awakened the ancient fighting spirit, and every move he makes carries the pressure of the stars! "
"No matter how powerful Xiao Wuque is, can he compare to Murong Yanran, who supports the Murong clan?"
Another cultivator sneered, "I have comprehended the fifth realm of martial arts.
Last time, during the Second Order Battle, she flicked her finger lightly, and a terrifying sword light extinguished her opponent's attack into thin air!"
"Yue Wushang of the Bright Moon Sect should not be underestimated. His Taiyin Star Sword technique is said to be able to cut through the river of time!"
"Li Zhan Kuang of the Tianwu Holy Sect is a fierce man, his physical strength is comparable to that of a top-level True King.
The last time I fought someone head-on, I crushed my opponent's weapon!"
"There's also the mysterious man from the Endless Abyss. To this day, no one knows his true identity. It's only said that when he attacks, all the star energy within a hundred miles will be completely devoured..."
Everyone was talking at once, praising the geniuses of several major forces to be extraordinary.
Li Yi sat in the corner, picking up dishes slowly and ignoring the discussions.
In his opinion, although these so-called geniuses are powerful, they are not enough to move him.
This year, he did not waste his time in the turbulence of time and space in vain.
The reason why he was so embarrassed by the self-detonation of the Star Gourd Star Lord's spiritual treasure was because
It was also because he had just been promoted to True King and had not had time to digest the various terrifying magical powers from his original body.
Although he is still a True King now, let alone a Star Lord,
Even if it was a weaker star lord, he was confident that he could deal with it easily.
At this moment, a sneer broke the noise:
"You've said so much, and they're all geniuses from the Fuguang Star Region. What's the point? I heard that two interesting people came to this Sequence Battle."
"Oh? Tell me quickly!" everyone started to cheer.
"Hey, they are two young geniuses from the border of the Wangquan Galaxy. One is called Chen Ji,
During the battle of the second order, he shattered three stars with one spear, and the lightning wrapped around the tip of the spear could even create cracks in space!
The most bizarre thing is that he is clearly practicing thunder-attributed astrology, but his physical strength is even more terrifying than that of the disciples of Tianwu Shengzong.
He cultivated both martial arts and astrology without any hindrance. This physique, wow..."
"You're bragging? How can such a genius exist in a remote galaxy?" Doubts arose one after another.
But several older monks in the corner frowned thoughtfully. Those who could stand out in the battle of the lower orders were definitely not ordinary people.
"Huh, where are we going now?"
“Speaking of eccentrics, An Xiaoyan is the real overlord.
A stick dances and makes the heaven and earth roar.
Crush the opponent purely by physical strength!
In the next round, she used her stick to create ripples in the air.
Even the Fuguang Sect's [Star Array] was smashed to pieces by her with one stick!
I heard her power is still growing.
Some speculated that she had awakened the ancient True Spirit bloodline! It was the bloodline left behind by the ancient True Spirit Clan!
"That's it? How powerful can someone from a remote area like the Wangquan Galaxy be? I guess he can't even reach the threshold of the Great Sequence Battle!" Someone curled his lips in disdain.
"That's not the way to say it." The monk lowered his voice mysteriously. "Don't you think the name of the Royal System sounds familiar?"
The drunken crowd fell into deep thought.
Suddenly there was a cry of surprise.
"Could it be..."
"Could this be that person's hometown..."
"Having just been promoted to True King, he used his supernatural powers to defeat the Star Lord... Li Yi!?"
"What! It's him!?"
"Hmph, there's no such thing as a True King rebelling against the Star Lord. In my opinion, it's just a rumor..."
Everyone was talking, but no one noticed that Li Yi's eyes flashed slightly in the corner.
Wangquan Galaxy, An Xiaoyan, Chen Ji... These familiar names caused ripples in his heart.
But he soon regained his composure and continued to drink leisurely.
However, at this moment, a young man in a brocade robe with extraordinary appearance suddenly came to Li Yi's table.
"May I ask, brother, why are you drinking alone here to drown your sorrows?"
