Chapter 761 -16: Emperor Star of Taiyi, the Struggle for Ziwei
Penglai Island, by the waterhole.
“Speaking of which, how did the two of you meet?”
Imitating the Eastern Monarch’s demeanor while swimming in the waterhole, Divine Monarch Mengzhang was quite curious about how he and Yunxiao had met.
After all, as Mengzhang understood Li Boyang, this fellow seemed amiable and approachable on the surface, but was actually quite discerning.
It wouldn’t be accurate to say he keeps people at a distance.
However, truly being valued by him is indeed a challenging matter.
“Well… speaking of which, it’s rather complex.”
Looking up at the sky, Li Boyang smiled as he watched Yunxiao’s gradually departing figure.
After briefly greeting Li Boyang and Divine Monarch Mengzhang, Yunxiao left the waterhole and returned to the sky.
As the master of Penglai Island, Yunxiao was different from Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao.
What she enjoyed most was patrolling Penglai Island and interacting with the Spirit Monsters among the mountains.
“No worries, I have plenty of time. Just take your time explaining.”
Lying comfortably in the waterhole, Divine Monarch Mengzhang replied with a light laugh.
“Seems like you’ve guessed something?”
Raising an eyebrow, Li Boyang gazed at Divine Monarch Mengzhang in the water from the shore and asked.
At this moment, Li Boyang had already reverted from White Dragon to human form.
His white long robes accentuated his handsome appearance.
But there was a hint of sharpness faintly revealed between his brows.
It was evident that the Eastern Monarch, as Li Boyang’s incarnation, was more than just a simple difference in appearance from the original body.
“You didn’t hide it, so how could I not notice?”
Divine Monarch Mengzhang lifted his head, letting his long eyebrows and dragon whiskers flutter as he spoke.
“Ever since Emperor Hao’s realization of ‘Taiyi’, a star named ‘Taiyi’ appeared in the sky.”
“It resides among the Beidou Seven Stars, the brightest one in Ziwei Yuan.”
“Logically, the Taiyi Star should have become a true ‘Emperor Star’, the ‘Ziwei Star’ spanning ancient and modern times.”
At this point, Divine Monarch Mengzhang paused for a moment.
“But Taiyi’s position was too lofty; he was the Lord of Heaven, the supreme being of another world.”
“Therefore, not long after the Taiyi Star’s birth, that star fell.”
“No one knows where it fell, and no one can find the fragments of the Taiyi Star…”
With a slight, faint smile on his lips, Divine Monarch Mengzhang continued.
“I am, after all, the Master of the Eastern Seven Lodges…”
“Though Ziwei Yuan doesn’t belong to the ‘Twenty-eight Lodges’, even I can’t find the whereabouts of the Taiyi Star, doesn’t that seem a bit abnormal?”
“There aren’t many in this world who can hide from me. You’re one, and Taiyi is another.”
“Or perhaps, the fall of Taiyi Star was the result of a game between you two.”
Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s voice was exceptionally confident, merely stating an objective fact.
“This Penglai, Abbot, Ying Zhou, are the fragments of the Taiyi Star!”
“I really didn’t expect that a star comparable to the Sun Star would ultimately be reduced to such remnants.”
“Did you not want Taiyi to intervene in the All Heaven Star Gods system?”
“Or did the future Emperor Ziwei trace back time, forcibly shattering the Taiyi Star?”
With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Li Boyang didn’t refute.
Because he knew Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s character; arriving at this conclusion surely meant he had ample evidence.
Moreover, there’s nothing worth refuting; Li Boyang never thought this matter could be hidden from Divine Monarch Mengzhang.
“I suppose both are true!”
“The Taiyi Star is Taiyi’s incarnation, a projection of Heaven in the present world.”
“It’s clearly not a wise choice for it to become the leader of the All Heaven Star Gods as the ‘Emperor Star’.”
Taiyi’s temperament had been made evident in the great war twenty millennia ago.
Li Boyang didn’t want him to stir things up again, triggering another event that would shake the River of Time.
Therefore, shortly after realizing Taiyi Star’s existence, Li Boyang had already secretly clashed with Taiyi.
The final result was that the future Emperor Ziwei, using the power of the Beidou Seven Stars, forcibly struck down the Taiyi Star, leaving the ‘Emperor Star’ position vacant until today.
“What about Yunxiao and her companions?”
“Are they incarnations of the Taiyi Star?”
This was what Divine Monarch Mengzhang was most curious about, but unfortunately, Li Boyang didn’t intend to answer his question.
“Yunxiao is Yunxiao, and the Three Immortal Islands are Three Immortal Islands, and the Taiyi Star is the Taiyi Star, how could the three be matched?”
After briefly hesitating, Divine Monarch Mengzhang stared at Li Boyang opposite him and suddenly asked again.
“Although the Taiyi Star fragmented, the ‘Emperor Star’ position still remains unclaimed.”
“Does the tremor of the Beidou Seven Stars relate to this ‘Ziwei Fray’?”
Upon hearing this, Li Boyang finally understood the other party’s intentions.
It turns out the reason he came to the Three Immortal Islands wasn’t to accidentally discover his whereabouts.
Divine Monarch Mengzhang had pursued the Three Immortal Islands from the beginning.
“The Beidou Seven Stars are the ‘Emperor Star’s Chariot’, specifically responsible for supporting Ziwei Yuan.”
“But the current Beidou Seven Stars, except for the Greedy Wolf Star Monarch, the remaining six Star Monarchs have yet to assume their positions.”
“If another big upheaval occurs, I estimate the entire All Heaven Star Gods system will have troubles…”
This was the true purpose of Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s visit.
He wanted to nip the yet-to-begin ‘Ziwei Fray’ in the bud.
It was just when he encountered Li Boyang’s incarnation that Divine Monarch Mengzhang realized this ‘Ziwei Fray’ likely involved the layouts of several supreme beings.
“No need to worry about that. Although the Beidou Star Monarchs have yet to assume their positions.”
“The true auxiliary star of the ‘Ziwei Star’ has already risen.”
Forcing a smile, Divine Monarch Mengzhang breathed a sigh of relief, yet he couldn’t help but feel a distinct sense of apprehension.
Considering Li Boyang’s past experiences as the Tao Ancestor.
Divine Monarch Mengzhang found it hard to believe that events involving him wouldn’t evolve into something earth-shatteringly significant.
“So, your arrival at the Longbo Kingdom isn’t just for Luo Qiao?”
“Your other purpose is to suppress these Three Immortal Islands and prevent the Taiyi Star from ascending again?”
Spreading his hands, Li Boyang smiled ambiguously.
“That’s one of the purposes, you could say!”
Seeing this, knowing he couldn’t extract any more valuable information from Li Boyang, Divine Monarch Mengzhang chose not to pursue further questions.
“Since that’s the case, I suppose I’ve meddled too much on my side.”
“I’ll tell you in advance; this East Sea isn’t your Hundred Lands Mountain Range, where development is not easy.”
“If you’re planning any major actions, ensure this East Sea isn’t used as a battlefield.” ℯℯ𝑙.
With a deep sigh, Divine Monarch Mengzhang suddenly took flight, leaving only an echo reverberating near the waterhole.
“I’m leaving! Hopefully, the next time we meet, it won’t be here in the East Sea!”
