Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 617: Chapter 488: 3 Surpass 7 Strong

Demon Capital Academy, Book Tower.

Su Yuan and Yang Yifeng sat opposite each other.

Yang Yifeng personally poured Su Yuan a cup of tea and smiled. “Achieving the first merit in the New Dust Realm as a Star Lord, your growth truly surprises me!”

Having once been part of the Sky Patrol Department, Yang Yifeng knew well the significance of a Star Lord and was very familiar with some of the information within the department.

Su Yuan smiled. “Without you, Teacher, I wouldn’t have reached my current realm so smoothly.”

Yang Yifeng laughed heartily. “There’s no need for pleasantries. Tell me, what are your plans next? Now that Earth Tribulation has begun, there are many opportunities if you wish to make achievements.”

Su Yuan spoke directly. “Teacher, thanks to the merits this time, I have already obtained the skills of Wind Control and Controlling Thunder. And, I have a clue regarding Divine Wind…”

“Oh?” Yang Yifeng’s eyes lit up. “A clue about Divine Wind?”

“Yes.”

Su Yuan recounted to Yang Yifeng about the Twelve Palace Star Envoys and Ashley’s prediction about the Divine Wind in the Southern Continent.

“The Southern Continent, huh…” Yang Yifeng frowned slightly upon hearing this. “If it were on the East Continent, given your current status, it would undoubtedly be much easier to capture Divine Wind. But in the Southern Continent, that’s quite tricky…”

Thinking for a moment, Yang Yifeng looked at Su Yuan and asked, “How much do you know about the Southern Continent?”

Before returning home, Su Yuan had already read a lot of information about the Southern Continent in the Scripture Hall.

However, the two continents were separated by the sea and Star Sand. For countless years, except for Burning Sun and King Level, few people had crossed the two continents.

Therefore, Su Yuan only understood some basics.

Su Yuan replied, “Unlike our East Continent, it seems that the top powers in the Southern Continent exist in the form of sects?”

Yang Yifeng nodded. “Yes, that’s the biggest difference from our East Continent.

In the Southern Continent, strong countries also exist, but the strongest are still the sects!

The main reason is that the Emperor Level and Mythical Star Devices of the Southern Continent are all concentrated within a few sects.

After that, they occupy blessed lands, gather Star Veins, select and train geniuses…

Over countless years, sects only become stronger, while countries have essentially become talent reserves for the sects.”

“I see…” Su Yuan nodded, which was not difficult to understand.

In the world of Star Card Masters, strength is paramount, and top strength surpasses everything below.

Since Emperor Level holders of Divine Artifacts chose to establish sects and select elites for focused training, it would naturally be impossible for individuals, powers, or countries below to resist.

The reason countries exist is that sects intentionally allow them to exist to continuously supply talent and save themselves much of the trivial matters at the bottom.

“I wonder, Teacher, do you know anything about these sects?”

Yang Yifeng shook his head. “I did go to the Southern Continent once. There are three supers and seven strongest, a total of ten top sects.

It’s only been a few hundred years. There shouldn’t be much change.”

Su Yuan asked, “Three supers and seven strongest? Please instruct me, Teacher.”

Yang Yifeng slowly said, “The three supers refer to three Super Sects, namely the Taishang Sect, Demon Sky Palace, and Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect.

These three super sects all possess Divine Artifacts, and each has at least two Emperor Level experts. Their positions have been unshakable for thousands of years.

The seven strongest refer to the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, Spirit Treasure Sect, True Yang Sect, and four other top sects. Although these sects also have Emperor Level experts, they do not have Mythical Star Devices, and their foundations are still somewhat less than the three super sects.”

Taishang Sect, Demon Sky Palace, Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect…

Su Yuan quickly memorized these names in his mind.

Yang Yifeng continued, “The Southern Continent is rich in talents and Earth Spirits. Star Power is abundant. Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, rare and exotic beasts, surpass those of our East Continent and other continents.

In terms of the number of strong individuals, the Southern Continent also has the most among the four continents. With numerous forces, talented individuals emerge continuously. The overall strength is the strongest on Blue Sea Star!”

“The strongest continent on Blue Sea Star, huh?”

Hearing what Yang Yifeng said, anticipation slowly rose in Su Yuan’s eyes, making him even more interested in the Southern Continent.

Yang Yifeng took a sip of tea. “So, have you thought about how to get to the Southern Continent? With Star Sand blowing over the sea, even Shining Star Level ones would be shredded into pieces upon crossing.”

Su Yuan said, “I’ve understood that there’s a teleportation array within the department that leads to the Southern Continent, but it hasn’t been used for many years.”

“The cost must be high?”

Su Yuan nodded. “With my Shining Star Level cultivation, the maximum cost for teleportation should only be 2 million Cent Star Stones, which is still acceptable.”

In the New Dust Realm, Su Yuan had killed quite a few Star Envoys. Among other things, he definitely had enough Star Stones.

Yang Yifeng said, “That teleportation array is a one-way teleportation. There’s no specific landing point in the Southern Continent. Furthermore, it hasn’t been used for many years. The risks are high…

Over the past few hundred years, although a few people have used that teleportation array, regardless of life or death, none have returned.”

Su Yuan smiled. “To obtain Divine Wind, I must give it a try. Besides, with Ashley, I can greatly minimize the risk brought by random teleportation.”

Yang Yifeng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Su Yuan mentioned Aries Ashley. Her prophecy ability was indeed rare in the world…

After discussing the Southern Continent matters, Su Yuan thought for a moment and then asked Yang Yifeng about his situation.

“Teacher, you mentioned before that you’ll ask me to do some things in the future. What are they?”

“The things I’d ask you to do…” Yang Yifeng pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled. “Well, although it’s a bit early for you now, considering your growth, I can tell you.

Actually… I was once at the King Level.”

“Hmm?!”

Although he had guessed that Yang Yifeng was not an ordinary Burning Sun, hearing this sentence still shocked Su Yuan to the core.

The difference between Burning Sun and King Level is like heaven and earth!

Yang Yifeng slowly said, “I once was a King Level White Tiger of the Sky Patrol Department. Just a hundred years ago, I was severely injured in a battle.

Although experts within the department saved my life, my Origin suffered severe loss, and I fell to Burning Sun.

Moreover, because of the severe injury, in terms of combat power, I’m probably not even comparable to an average Burning Sun…”

Su Yuan quickly processed this information and asked, “Is there a chance for you to return to the King Level, Teacher?”

Yang Yifeng shook his head with a smile. “Don’t mention returning to King Level. Right now, I have only a few years left to live…”

“Hmm?!” Su Yuan’s pupils contracted. “Why? Teacher… how long do you have?”

“At most, less than ten years~”

Su Yuan opened his mouth but ultimately fell silent. Looking at Yang Yifeng before him, he didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Yang Yifeng laughed. “After so many years, I’ve already accepted this outcome.

Of course, accepting it is one thing, and if I can live longer, all the better.

With Earth Tribulation now, there may be some chances as the continents collide.

After all, there are countless talented people, Heavenly Materials, and Earthly Treasures in the world. Although my Origin loss is severe, there might still be a solution.

The thing I wanted to ask you to do was to help me find a way to restore my Origin.”

“I see…” Su Yuan suddenly thought of something and had a thought. A dark light spread from his body, bringing Yang Yifeng into Qingming Realm.

“This is… a Small World?” Yang Yifeng was quite surprised.

Su Yuan nodded. “Yes, this is a Small World constructed with my Power of Soul. Its Star Veins are rather unique, and you can try to see if they have any effect on your Origin.”

“Oh?” Yang Yifeng’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately sat cross-legged.

Yang Yifeng was still a Burning Sun expert. With full cultivation, his body was like a bottomless pit, devouring the Phoenix Vein-produced Star Power at a terrifying speed, quickly draining all the surrounding Star Power.

Su Yuan had a thought, communicating with the Qingming Realm to gather all Star Power towards Yang Yifeng.

Ruan Ruan, Antonios, Ashley, and others sensed this and looked over from a distance.

Yang Yifeng’s eyes brightened but soon stopped.

“How do you feel, Teacher?” Su Yuan asked quickly.

Yang Yifeng marveled, “The Star Veins in your Small World are really extraordinary. They can even slow down my Origin loss…”

Su Yuan felt a surge of joy. “So it’s effective?”

Yang Yifeng sighed and shook his head. “It only slightly slows it down. It’s like a drop in the bucket.”

Su Yuan frowned slightly at hearing this.

The “Nirvana” effect of the Phoenix Vein was most apparent during a breakthrough, almost repairing all damage to the body and soul.

Although it also had healing and repair effects during normal cultivation, it was much weaker…

However, the Phoenix Vein was only at Wolf Level now. If it could be upgraded to Tiger Level or even Dragon Level, it might have a greater effect on Yang Yifeng.

Su Yuan brought Yang Yifeng out of Qingming Realm and said, “Teacher, rest assured. I will give my all to find a way to restore your Origin!”

On one hand, improving the level of the Phoenix Vein, if it could not directly repair Yang Yifeng’s Origin, could still greatly delay its loss.

On the other hand, he would search for ways to replenish the Origin across all continents!

Yang Yifeng laughed heartily. “Good, having your commitment is enough. But now, finding a way to repair the Origin is still too early for you.

More importantly, you should be more careful when you head to the Southern Continent.

Earth Tribulation is not only the Earth Tribulation of the East Continent but involves all of Blue Sea Star!

Going to the Southern Continent now is undoubtedly the most dangerous.

You are always reliable, so I don’t need to say more.

But remember my advice, prioritize your own life.”

Yang Yifeng patted Su Yuan’s shoulder and seriously reminded him: “Even if it’s Divine Wind, it’s not worth risking your life. You only have one life, and if you lose it, everything is gone. Be very careful!”

Su Yuan responded, “Don’t worry, Teacher. I won’t gamble with my life.”

“Good!” Yang Yifeng sized up Su Yuan, looking at him a bit longer before turning around and waving his hand. “That’s it, I, this old man, have nothing more to say to you. Go, prepare well!”

Su Yuan wanted to stay with his teacher a bit longer, but Yang Yifeng waved his hand.

“Goodbye, Teacher.”

Su Yuan opened the Space Gate, bowed solemnly, and then left.

After Su Yuan left, Yang Yifeng suddenly coughed, the divine light in his eyes dimmed, and his aura sharply declined.

At this moment, colorful lights flashed in the scene, and Principal Cai Qinglong suddenly appeared.

“Do you need to keep holding on?” Cai Qinglong asked softly.

Yang Yifeng turned around and forced a smile.

“Elder Cai, I have a feeling… Su Yuan, this kid, will definitely surpass me by far!

Teaching such a student makes this life worth it, even if it is ending.”

Cai Qinglong glanced in the direction where Su Yuan disappeared, nodded slightly, and then looked at Yang Yifeng, sighing inwardly.

“You’d better go back to rest in the barrier at the tower’s bottom. Your condition has been deteriorating ever since six months ago.”

Yang Yifeng took another look into the distance before withdrawing his gaze and following Cai Qinglong to the bottom of the Book Tower…
