Chapter 811: Dangerous Banquet
The Human Sanctuary's gathering of elites was a grand gathering of the human cosmic, only held in celebration when there was a major change in power.
The participants were the seven supreme factions of mankind, the 18 top factions, and the four great realms.
This time, the main character was naturally the Weixin Cosmic Nation that had entered the Jueling Realm, as well as the Jiutian Corps that had produced a Supreme.
"Every time the Human Sanctuary holds the gathering of elites, it's a celebration in name, but it's actually an offline continuation of the Supreme Council. It's inevitable that there will be arguments and infighting," said Venerate Xuan.
"Second Senior Sister participated once." Starwish Master laughed.
"That was a long time ago. I went there as a new High Dimension Lord," said Venerate Xuan.
"What was Second Senior Sister's final battle record?" Wang Ye asked curiously.
"Second." Starwish Master said, "Unfortunately, she lost to the human virtual cosmic's Qing Master, the current Venerate Qing."
"But Venerate Qingtian didn't expect Second Senior Sister to become the leader of the Primordial Star," said Wang Ye with a smile.
"Venerate Qing is still very strong. She will fight as a new Venerate," said Venerate Xuan.
"Who is going to fight on our side?" Wang Ye asked curiously.
"Venerate Bailuo," Starwish Master said.
That solitary swordsman who always rode on a flying sword.
An image appeared in Wang Ye's mind.
"But he doesn't seem to be as powerful as you, Senior Sister." Wang Ye said.
Venerate Xuan shook her head. "Bai Luo's combat ability is very outstanding. None of the Sovereign Venerates of the younger generation can beat him."
There were only a few Venerates in the younger generation. He could count them on his fingers.
"Who was the Venerate who participated in the last Human Sanctuary's gathering of elites?" Wang Ye asked.
"Venerate Ancient and Venerate Primeval. It was where Venerate Ancient made his name. In the confrontation between the new Venerates, he used his absolute strength to defeat everyone and became the strongest new Venerate of the younger generation," Starwish Master said.
Old Ancient is amazing!
Wang Ye liked it.
The Human Sanctuary's gathering of elites gathered the top geniuses of the human cosmic.
Other than getting to know each other, the various factions naturally couldn't avoid sparring and competing.
The Supremes didn't take part in the battle. After all, they represented the face of the various factions, and it wouldn't look good if they lost.
However, Sovereign Venerates, High Dimension Lords, Eternals, and Undyings would all compete.
They represented the strength of the various factions.
At the Sovereign Venerate and the High Dimension Lord level, the participants competed to see who among the newly advanced was strongest, as well as who among the existing people was the strongest.
As for the Eternal and Undying levels, there was only the competition to determine who was the strongest.
"At the Venerate level, we're sending Venerate Ancient and Venerate Bailuo. Which two High Dimension Lord seniors will be going?" Wang Ye asked curiously.
"Burning Sky Master and Iceheart Master," Starwish Master said.
"Aren't you going to fight, Third Senior Sister?" Wang Ye asked in surprise.
"You've already learned how to tease your Third Senior Sister, huh?" Starwish Master rolled her eyes.
"I wouldn't dare." Wang Ye smiled.
Third Senior Sister's combat prowess was indeed average among High Dimension Lords.
Burning Sky Master was Flame's pupil and the junior brother of Venerate Ancient. His combat prowess was comparable to a Sovereign Venerate, and he had been stuck at the peak of a High Dimension Lord for a long time.
Iceheart Master was Venerate Primeval's pupil. Although she was young, she was already a medium-grade High Dimension Lord. She was indeed stronger than Third Senior Sister.
"I don't want to embarrass the Primordial Star. Every time the Human Sanctuary holds the gathering of elites," said Starwish Master, "Primordial Star always ranks at the top of the four competitions at the High Dimension Lord and Sovereign Venerate level."
"Last time, Venerate Ancient was first, Venerate Primeval was fourth, Zhu Lu Master was third, and Second Senior Sister was second. Our overall battle record was the highest." Starwish Master's beautiful eyes flickered.
"But there are five competitions and I think the others consider the overall battle record of all five," Wang Ye said.
"We still come in third, just a little bit behind the human virtual cosmic and the Infinite World of Slaughter," said Starwish Master softly.
The fifth competition was the one between the Eternals and Undyings. It dragged down their overall battle result.
Wang Ye knew that the Eternals and Undyings of Primordial Star were ordinary, mainly because his Teacher didn't place much importance on recruiting new disciples.
In contrast, the human virtual cosmic and the Infinite World of Slaughter held a genius battle every half an era.
After joining, disciples had to work very hard to obtain more resources, and those behind would be eliminated.
Given their number of Supremes and their diligence in taking in disciples, Primordial Star naturally could not compare to them.
It was only after the High Dimension Lord level that the Primordial Star's geographical advantage and treasure advantage gradually began to emerge.
It was more obvious at the Sovereign Venerate level.
Eternal and Undying Lifeforms were, ultimately, not valued.
Therefore, the first thing Second Senior Sister did after she took office was to carry out a major reform.
She knew the drawbacks of the Primordial Star, especially now that they had lost control of the Primal Chaos Star, Primordial Star could no longer nurture disciples like before, relying on their rich foundation to catch up at the High Dimension Lord and Sovereign Venerates levels.
They no longer had such a rich foundation.

Virtual Chaos Realm.
The headquarters of the Human Sanctuary.
This was Wang Ye's second time here.
The last time he had come, he had been a low-dimensional lifeform, and he had come together with Xian Yu Yan to fight for the ultimate black hole.
This time, he was here on behalf of the Primordial Star.
A group of nine.
The leader was Second Senior Sister, followed by Third Senior Sister.
Venerate Ancient and Venerate Bailuo had the same cold expression. They were like strict bodyguards. They were indeed teacher and pupil. At the Venerate level, their combat prowess was top-notch.
The High Dimension Lords were Burning Sky Master and Iceheart Master. One fire and one ice, like two poles, were also expressionless.
Coupled with the cold Second Senior Sister, the Primordial Star gave people a feeling that it was difficult to approach. It gave off the vibes of a socially anxious group.
Wang Ye, Qi Qiqi, and Nalan Lan were at the back.
The fifth competition between the Eternals and Undyings was not a one-on-one battle, but a three-on-three battle. Whoever won two rounds would win.
To the various large factions, this level was more focused on potential and the overall excellence of the disciples.
Of course, the strength of individual disciples was also important.
For example, the human virtual cosmic's Wei Yi. The final battle that he fought was basically a sure win.
"Kou Feng couldn't make it." Nalan Lan felt a little regretful.
"Yeah, or else I could rest." Qi Qiqi's coy voice was very bright.
"Why?" Nalan Lan looked at Wang Ye in surprise. "Is Little Junior Brother that powerful?"
Why must she add "little" to junior brother?
Wang Ye gave her a polite smile.
Nalan Lan was Venerate Primeval's pupil, and her strength was on par with Fourth Senior Sister's.
Of course, those were Fourth Senior Sister's words.
Comparing their current rankings on the Human Prodigy Record, The highest ranking in the Primordial Star was Venerate Ancient's pupil, Kou Feng, who was ranked 11th.
Next was Nalan Lan, ranked 15th.
Fourth Senior Sister was ranked 18th.
Normally, Kou Feng would definitely have a spot in the Human Sanctuary's gathering of elites this time, but he was in Ancient Star Abyss.
With the Sky race surrounding the place, he couldn't go anywhere.
"He's more powerful than me." Qi Qiqi smiled calmly.
She felt proud that her junior brother was stronger than her.
"Really?" Nalan Lan looked delighted. "I was thinking since Kou Feng can't come, you and I participate in the first two battles and give up on the final one."
"Are you learning from Tian Ji's horse-racing techniques..." Wang Ye retorted in his heart.
In fact, he wanted to be the finale.
Otherwise, how could he face off against the strongest on the Human Prodigy Record like Wei Yi and Jiuwei Beilei?
He had to take them down and take their place, becoming number one. Only then would he be able to enter the Human Sanctuary's Tinder Tower and try his luck.
Perhaps, Strongest Expert Xin Huo left something good behind?
The sparring between the various factions was only a small part of the gathering of the Human Sanctuary's elites.
It was mainly an offline extension of the Supreme Council.
On the surface, it was to celebrate the Weixin Cosmic Nation's entry into the Jueling Realm, humanity's victory in the second human-devil war, and the beginning of a new chapter.
In the dark, factions with ulterior motives pushed for the gathering, plotting for more benefits.
In such a large human cosmic, how could everyone be happy and harmonious?
When there was a common enemy, they could still share a common hatred.
Now, they naturally had their thoughts.
For example, those from the Jiutian Corp who were not far away.
Wang Ye stopped with the Primordial Star group and looked at those from the Jiutian Corp in the distance.
The leader of the opposite group, a tall man, walked towards them.
His majestic steps revealed his Supreme aura.
It was a short distance, but he gave off a deep sense of oppression. He did not conceal his imposing aura at all, and he had a domineering aura.
Supreme Jiutian!
Clang!
Like a saber being unsheathed, Venerate Ancient only took a step forward, and as if he had accurately stepped on the other party's tail, the aura created by Supreme Jiutian was shattered.
His expression was cold and arrogant as the former looked straight at the latter.
The cold aura collided, and Supreme Jiutian's eyes were deep.
"Venerate Xuan, how have you been?" Supreme Jiutian stopped in his tracks and greeted.
Venerate Xuan nodded. "Hello."
"I've wanted to sit down and chat with Venerate Xuan several times, but I couldn't find a chance." Supreme Jiutian laughed.
"I'm busy." Venerate Xuan said.
"Understood." Supreme Jiutian nodded. "Your teacher's matter is indeed a little troublesome. However, it's a good thing that we haven't lost the Primordial Star. It's a great fortune amidst misfortune. It's truly a blessing for us humans."
"You're so thoughtful," Venerate Xuan said.
Supreme Jiutian wanted to continue, but Starwish Master had already spoken. "Why don't we go in? We'll talk about it after we're seated. We don't want the others to wait for too long."
"Alright." Supreme Jiutian bowed slightly.
He glanced at Venerate Xuan and Venerate Ancient and didn't say anything else.
Then, he led the people from the Jiutian Corp and went inside.
Wang Ye looked at his back as he left, deep in thought.
As expected, he was not easy to get along with.
"This old fox is not giving up." Starwish Master snorted.
"Don't worry, I won't let him succeed." Venerate Xuan was very calm.
Jiutian Corps had been eyeing the Yunyi Chaos Realm for a long time. This was not only the key for them to become the new supreme faction, but also the key to their continued development in the future.
"I'm just afraid that there will be a lot of trouble if the Human Sanctuary decides on the matter through a public vote," Starwish Master said worriedly.
"Unless it's related to their interests, the other supreme factions will still stand on our side, for now," Venerate Xuan said.
"Yes, in the end, it's still strength that speaks." Starwish Master nodded. "With Venerate Ancient around, Supreme Jiutian wouldn't dare to do anything too out of line."
"The name of the Primordial Star is not something they can profane," said Venerate Ancient in a deep voice.
"Sorry to trouble you." Venerate Xuan said.
"It's only right," replied Venerate Ancient.
The people from the Primordial Star went in as well.
Wang Ye sighed.
The Human Sanctuary's gathering of elites this time was destined to be turbulent.
This was a dangerous banquet.
