Seaside room.
Xiao Xuan laid out a table full of Hangzhou-style dishes, and Yan Wangqing ate with great interest.
At this moment, Xiao Xuan took out a jade bottle as if by magic and poured himself a bowl full of wine, instantly filling the room with a strong aroma of wine.
The fragrance filled the air, and Yan Wangqing, on the opposite side, raised her eyebrows and looked at the wine in the bowl with interest, asking, "What is this?"
"This is a kind of drink from our hometown, it's called wine," Xiao Xuan said with some pride. He followed the brewing method from memory and, unexpectedly, managed to produce it successfully.
The aromatic wine wrapped around Yan Wangqing's nostrils, and her thirsty mouth opened and her eyes stayed glued to the jade bottle.
With a strange look in his eyes, Xiao Xuan passed the bottle to her and said, "Drinking wine is risky."
Yan Wangqing paid no attention, took the jade bottle in her hand, raised it to her lips, and drank half of the wine.
Xiao Xuan's eyes widened. It was the first time he had seen someone drinking wine like water.
"Tastes good," Yan Wangqing chuckled softly, a hint of blush appearing on her exquisite and delicate face like a goose egg.
"The boss from last time, you stole it, right?" Yan Wangqing rested her chin on her fragrant cheek, looking at Xiao Xuan with interest.
Xiao Xuan smiled wryly and said, "It seems that nothing can escape Princess Yan's eyes."
Yan Wangqing tilted her head, a smile appearing on her ethereal and delicate cheek, and said, "I don't think there will be a second person in the Nebula Legion who can create such a spiritual character card."
She rubbed her brow and said, "With your strength, passing the assessment is not difficult, and if you're a bit lucky, it's also possible to compete for the top ten."
"Is there any special reward for making it to the top ten?" Xiao Xuan couldn't help but ask.
Yan Wangqing pondered for a moment and said, "If you can enter the top ten, you can choose to join any one of the Seven Halls. At the same time, you will become a core star card master within the hall, and even be personally nurtured by the hall master."
Xiao Xuan was taken aback and asked, "The Seven Halls? What are they?"
Yan Wangqing's bright eyes shimmered as she said, "Our Nebula Legion is divided into the Seven Halls: Hall of Forgetfulness, Hall of Qinwang, Hall of Incineration, Hall of Ice Spirit, Hall of Purple Sky, Hall of Heavenly Source, and Hall of Hundred Flowers."
"Except for the Hall of Forgetfulness, which I directly manage, the other six halls have five hall masters each, responsible for the internal affairs of the hall."
Xiao Xuan was surprised and asked, "Why are there only five hall masters for the remaining six halls?"
A ripple passed through Yan Wangqing's phoenix eyes. She took a sip of wine and said lightly, "Do you want to know about the history of Nebula?"
Xiao Xuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Yan Wangqing lightly bit her red lips and slowly said, "When the spatial gates appeared and the star beasts invaded the Heavenly Source Star, in order to protect themselves, many forces united and formed a federation."
"The entire Heavenly Source Star is divided into five major regions: Central Federation, Eastern Federation, Western Federation, Southern Federation, and Northern Federation."
"In each major federation, a superpower reigns.”
"The one that governs the entire Northern Federation is our Nebula Legion."
Yan Wangqing's lips curled in self-mockery as she said, "At that time, with the Master Xingyunzi in charge, the Northern Federation was undoubtedly the most powerful region of the entire federation, and the Nebula Legion was the most powerful force on the entire Heavenly Source Star."
Xiao Xuan was also surprised by this information. The Nebula Legion, which was so powerful in the past, was actually the strongest force of Heavenly Source Star?
"So, why did it change like this?" Xiao Xuan's face showed surprise, and his eyes were filled with suspicion.
Yan Wangqing remained calm and said, "At that time, the Nebula Legion only had six halls, and Master Xingyunzi had six disciples, each leading a hall: Hall of Forgetfulness, Hall of Qinwang, Hall of Incineration, Hall of Ice Spirit, Hall of Purple Sky, and Hall of Hundred Flowers."
"Later, Master Xingyunzi picked up a disciple from the star beast realm and named him Yunliu."
"The Master used the Source Cabin to transform Yunliu's physique, and then Yunliu showed great talent in cultivation. In just one year, he had already broken through to become an eight-star card master, defeated the six hall masters, and became the first person under the Master."
Xiao Xuan's pupils couldn't help but slightly contract. To break through to an eight-star card master in just one year?
It's worth noting that an eight-star card master is a rare existence in the entire Heavenly Source Star. It is truly the top existence in the world.
Now, Yunliu, who was not originally a Source Body, after being transformed, reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Source in just a year, which was truly unbelievable.
"So, Master Xingyunzi created a new hall for Yunliu, right?" Xiao Xuan guessed.
Yan Wangqing nodded gently and said, "As a result, the Master created a new hall, called the Heavenly Source. Under Yunliu's leadership, the Heavenly Source Hall had become the top of the seven halls in less than half a year."
"He was originally recognized as the next commander of the Starcloud Legion, the future master of the entire Tianyuan Star, ruling the entire federation, with limitless prospects... "
"But that day, everything changed."
Yan Wangqing's phoenix-like eyes turned cold, saying, "On that day, under someone's deliberate guidance, news of Yunliu's origin from the Star Beast world spread throughout the entire Tianyuan Star."
"In the past, when the Star Beasts invaded Tianyuan Star, they almost destroyed it, and the conflict between the human race and the Star Beasts was already irreconcilable."
"Therefore, when it was known that Yunliu originated from the Star Beast world, the entire Tianyuan Star was in uproar. No one cared about Yunliu's true identity, and all factions demanded that the Starcloud Legion hand over Yunliu."
"In their eyes, Yunliu born from the Star Beast world must be the offspring of the Star Beasts. If not put to death, it would lead to endless trouble."
"The four major superpowers stationed in the remaining areas of the federation united to challenge the Starcloud Legion. They threatened to start a war and demanded that the master hand over Yunliu."
Yan Wangqing's eyes gradually turned red as she said, "On that day, Master summoned me to discuss this matter. He told me that since things had come to this, someone had to step up, and the entire Starcloud Legion couldn't suffer for the sake of one person."
"The original intention of Master was that he wanted to send Yunliu to another star domain to hide, and he would face the censure of the world himself."
"However, who could have imagined that at that moment, Yunliu was eavesdropping outside. Hearing Master's words, he mistakenly thought that Master wanted to hand him over, so he turned and ran."
"Master heard the commotion outside, knowing that Yunliu misunderstood, so he went to chase him. However, in Yunliu's eyes, it seemed like Master was trying to capture him..."
"So, in his desperation, Yunliu struck Master with a palm, but Master did not evade and directly endured the blow..."
"The unprepared Master was struck back by Yunliu's palm, and Yunliu took advantage of the chaos to flee. It was this blow that made him bear the accusation of betraying and deceiving his Master..."
"Betraying and deceiving one's master is a grave taboo, so all the powerful figures on Tianyuan Star set out to hunt down Yunliu."
"I don't know if under the manhunt on that day, he's still alive or not. There has been no news of Yunliu since then..."
"The Tianyuan Hall, the head of the seven halls, also became the lowest of the seven halls due to the lack of a hall master. At the same time, because of Yunliu, the star card masters inside the hall have been under a cloud of infamy for years..."
"After Yunliu left, Master handed the command to me, and then suddenly disappeared without a trace. There were even rumors that he had fallen long ago..."
"Also, because of Master's disappearance, there is some internal unrest within the Starcloud Legion. The Qinwang Hall is restless and has formed a faction with the Flame-Arrow Hall, contending with me in these years. If not for Master's lingering influence, I even suspect that they would have tried to establish their own power."
