Chapter 910: Chapter 910: Star Swapping Day

Within the Scrolls Room, Xiao Yi was leafing through files and intelligence dossiers.

The Wind Shattering Hall and Asura Hall, though they share some intelligence and information.

But this mostly refers to some ordinary intelligence such as task information about groups like the Violent Wolf Mountain Bandit Group.

As for some confidential level dossiers, they require respective authority levels for viewing.

For instance, Xiao Yi now, in this Wind Shattering Hall’s Scrolls Room, his authority level is at the level of a Chief Steward.

If he were in the Asura Hall’s Scrolls Room, his access level would only reach the Deacon level.

The title of Chief Steward in the Wind Shattering Hall doesn’t grant him greater authority in the Asura Hall.

Overall, although joining two sub halls has its benefits, it’s not much; it’s just an additional identity.

Of course, having multiple identities means perhaps being able to handle some matters more easily.

Back to the main topic.

Xiao Yi spent almost half a day in the Scrolls Room reviewing files.

In this Wind Shattering Hall’s sub hall, his authority is only second to Sub-Hall Master Li He.

Hence, he can access almost ninety percent of the dossiers.

But as expected, he found nothing concerning the matter he’s interested in.

”Still not a trace of useful intelligence.” Xiao Yi sighed.

”Forget it.”

Xiao Yi shook his head, after all, this is already the Central Region; finding the Demon Hunting Hall will be easy.

However, the Demon Hunting Hall here in Star Swapping City is only a small sub-hall, and likely doesn’t hold too much intelligence.

Once he leaves Star Swapping City, in other larger cities, there must be large sub-halls.

By that time, he should be able to gain something.

Having thought of this, Xiao Yi turned around and left the Scrolls Room.

He had some speculations regarding the Wind Shattering Hall and the Asura Hall.

Though they are both among the Ancient Eight Halls.

It seems each hall likely has different alliances.

Like the Wind Shattering Hall and the Asura Hall.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be situations of intelligence sharing and joint task execution between the two halls.

Between the halls, although it wouldn’t lead to conflicts, there surely isn’t overly close contact.

Millions of years are enough to cause many changes, even if there were shifts or gaps within the Eight Halls.

But in any case, these matters need not be over-thought.

The reasons for the existence of the Ancient Eight Halls are more apparent to them than anyone else.

Their non-participation in disputes between any forces alone is enough for Xiao Yi to disregard whatever changes happened among them.

”Deacon Xiao Yi.”

Just upon exiting the Scrolls Room, Xiao Yi encountered Lih Fengxing.

”What’s up?” Xiao Yi looked at Lih Fengxing, puzzled.

Lih Fengxing wondered, ”Senior Li He suddenly summoned us, I couldn’t find you everywhere, so I guessed you were still in the Scrolls Room.”

”It’s been half a day; Deacon Xiao Yi, are you checking on some important matter?”

”If there’s anything I can help with, Deacon Xiao Yi, just ask.”

”Not much.” Xiao Yi shook his head, ”I just came to the Central Region and wanted to understand more about the situation here.”

”The Central Region is truly fascinating; without noticing, I got absorbed in the scrolls and stayed inside for quite a while.”

”Ah, I see.” Lih Fengxing nodded, ”Let’s go, Senior Li He and the others are waiting for us.”

”Alright.” Xiao Yi nodded.

The two arrived at the Inner Hall where Senior Li He, the Eldest Prince, Yu Feng, and others were already present.

When everyone gathered, Senior Li He glanced at them with a mysterious smile.

Lih Fengxing asked in puzzlement, ”May I ask what Senior has summoned us for?”

Senior Li He smiled, ”In a few days, it will be Star Swapping Day.”

”No wonder Wind Hall Master sent me a message, saying you all would come to the Central Region.”

”Star Swapping Day?” Besides Lih Fengxing, everyone else looked puzzled.

”Star Swapping Day?” Lih Fengxing beamed.

”What’s Star Swapping Day?” they inquired in wonder.

Lih Fengxing with joy explained, ”Do you know how Star Swapping City got its name? It’s because of Star Swapping Day.”

”Star Swapping Day is the most renowned day for Star Swapping City.”

”Occurs once every three years, the sky descends with spectacular phenomena, radiant starlight.”

”Martial Artists bathing in starlight will surely encounter great opportunities.”

Senior Li He nodded, ”Star Swapping Day happens once every three years; yet no one can predict the exact occurrence in a year.”

”Only a few days before it appears, celestial starlight will twinkle and Martial Arts Power will burst as a forewarning.”

”It’s been precisely three years since the last Star Swapping Day.”

”If I’m not mistaken, Wind Hall Master intends for you all to come to Star Swapping City to await its appearance.”

”You’re lucky; having just arrived, Star Swapping Day is about to show up.”

Lih Fengxing eagerly asked, ”Has the exact day for Star Swapping Day been determined?”

”Yes.” Senior Li He nodded, ”In precisely three days.”

”Three days.” Lih Fengxing murmured, his face gleaming with joy.

The others, though unclear about Star Swapping Day, understood from the words of Lih Fengxing and Senior Li He that it was evidently remarkable.

For Martial Artists, it certainly presents a significant opportunity.

Yet, Senior Li He’s next statement dampened the joy in many people’s expressions.

”Don’t get excited too early.” Senior Li He sternly said.

”The quota for bathing in the starlight on Star Swapping Day is very limited.”

”Except for specific quotas held by several major forces within Star Swapping City, other quotas need to be fought for; the strongest will obtain them.”

Lih Fengxing quickly asked, ”Does our Wind Shattering Hall have quotas?”

”Of course.” Senior Li He replied, ”Within Star Swapping City, both the City Lord’s Mansion and our Wind Shattering Hall hold two quotas; the three major forces, Mo Family, Wang Family, Lvu Family, each hold one quota.”

”Our Wind Shattering Hall’s two quotas are just for the two of you.”

Senior Li He glanced at Lih Fengxing and Xiao Yi.

The Eldest Prince furrowed his brow, ”So, we need to compete for our quota?”

”Heh, interesting; let me see the strength of the Central Region’s Heavenly Pride.”

Senior Li He chuckled, ”You all might be top Heavenly Talents in ordinary regions.”

”But in Star Swapping City, you’re hardly noteworthy.”

”Let me put it this way: besides the forces possessing quotas; other forces competing for the quota have Heavenly Talents at least above Heavenly Extreme Realm Cultivation.”

”What?” Everyone’s expression changed.

Except for Lih Fengxing and Kuanglan Sect Master, everyone’s cultivation here is below Half-step Heavenly Extreme.

The same Heavenly Talent disparity makes victory nearly impossible when one’s cultivation is entirely overshadowed.

Not to mention the vast gap between Half-step Heavenly Extreme and true Heavenly Extreme.

Senior Li He smirked, ”Do not lose hope so quickly; our Wind Shattering Hall’s quota can be given away.”

Saying so, Senior Li He glanced again at Lih Fengxing and Xiao Yi.

”For such ease in gaining the quota and opportunities, I think neither of you two would be inclined.”

”Naturally.” Lih Fengxing said proudly, ”Opportunities should be earned by oneself; it’s what makes it interesting.”

”I’ll give my quota to the Eldest Prince.”

The Eldest Prince was initially surprised but then shook his head, ”No need, Heavenly Extreme Realm is no problem, I am confident.”

”Good, worthy of being the Wind Saint Empire’s Prince.” Lih Fengxing nodded and looked towards Kuanglan Sect Master.

Kuanglan Sect Master shook his head, ”I don’t need it either, I’m not so old as to be taken care of by a junior.”

”Then...” Lih Fengxing frowned.

”I want it.” Yu Feng beamed.

”Alright.” Lih Fengxing agreed at once.

”Deacon Xiao Yi, what about your quota?” Lih Fengxing looked at Xiao Yi.

”I...” Xiao Yi glanced at Cheng Suyan, Chu Rou, and Qin Hongyi.

The eyes of the three instantly focused on Xiao Yi.
