Chapter 398 Divine Position
Among the ancient gods, the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper may not be considered top-tier in terms of combat power, but their reputation is certainly not small.
The Southern Dipper governs life, while the Northern Dipper governs death. As the seven stars of the Northern Dipper that control the killing and destruction of the world, their reputation is undoubtedly among the best of all the star deities.
Even within the Jade Emperor Sect, from which Lin Fei originated, there are Taoist temples named after the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, such as Wenqu and Wuqu. This demonstrates the immense fame of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper.
……
The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper are, firstly, Yangming Tanlang Star Lord.
The second of the Big Dipper, the Yin Essence Giant Gate Star Lord.
The third star in the Big Dipper constellation is the True Man Lu Cun Star Lord.
The fourth star in the Big Dipper constellation is Xuanming Wenqu Xingjun.
The fifth star of the Big Dipper, Dan Yuan Lian Zhen Star Lord.
The sixth star in the Big Dipper, the North Star Wuqu.
The seventh star of the Big Dipper, the Heavenly Gate Star Lord.
The person in front of him was none other than Yangming Tanlang Xingjun, the first-ranked of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper.
Lin Fei himself hadn't expected to encounter such a renowned ancient deity here. He even harbored some doubts—for he had never heard of the Big Dipper Seven Stars being a subordinate of the True Martial Emperor.
Seemingly sensing Lin Fei's confusion, the Star Lord of Greed Wolf spoke up, saying, "Actually, the seven of us were originally under the command of the Great Emperor of the North Pole, who governs the stars of the heavens. However, because the seven of us were in charge of killing and our killing intent was too strong, and the demonic sect was causing chaos in the world, the Great Emperor of the North Pole assigned the seven of us to the Great Emperor of the True Martial Sect, who is in charge of subduing demons, for temporary command."
He sighed and said, "Unexpectedly, in that great war of the demonic sects, all the ancient gods perished, including the seven of us. Fortunately, the True Martial Emperor used his supreme divine power to preserve our divine positions, which is why we are able to guard this place in our current state and await the arrival of the Emperor's successor."
This Greedy Wolf Star Lord hadn't spoken to outsiders for countless millennia, but once he started talking, he seemed determined to go on and on for three days and three nights without stopping.
It was the spirit of the Black Serpent who spoke up, interrupting Lord Tanlang: "Alright, Tanlang, stop reminiscing about the past. Do you remember the Emperor's instructions? If this kid passes the test, you have to take out that thing."
"Of course I remember." Lord Tanlang chuckled. "The reason you two chose this path is because you've got your eyes on the divine positions of the seven of us brothers, right? Don't worry, as long as you pass the test, the seven of us brothers will gladly offer up the divine positions of the Big Dipper Seven Star Lords. But this kid has to pass the test first!"
It turns out that the reason the spirit of the Black Serpent chose this path for itself was because it coveted the divine position of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper!
As long as Lin Fei passes the test of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, their divine positions will be obtained by Lin Fei.
It's important to understand that the divine position of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper is far superior to that of a lowly deity like the Day Wanderer. Even among the ancient star lords, the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper are renowned figures, far surpassing the insignificant and opportunistic Day Wanderer.
If Lin Fei were to obtain the divine position of the Seven Star Lords of the Big Dipper and use it on his seven Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldiers, he would likely immediately create seven beings who would be considered top-tier even among those in the Celestial Realm!
The spirit of the Xuan Snake probably had this plan in mind when Lin Fei obtained the seven Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldiers. If he could merge the divine positions of the Seven Star Lords of the Big Dipper with the Heavenly Dao Ghost Soldiers, Lin Fei would likely become a top-tier figure in the world immediately.
Even among experts at the Celestial Realm, aside from exceptional figures like the Hidden Sword Elder, most Celestial Realm experts probably cannot compare to Lin Fei.
Thinking about this, Lin Fei's heart gradually became excited.
However, to successfully obtain the divine position of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, the first step is to pass the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper's test. The test given by such a renowned ancient power must be extremely difficult. Lin Fei dared not be careless in the slightest.
……
Greedy Wolf Star Lord stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said to Lin Fei, "The seven of us are here to guard this place on the orders of True Martial Emperor. Anyone who wants to pass through here must be tested by the seven of us. However, since you are the successor of the Emperor and have the protection of the Black Serpent and Spirit Turtle Generals, I can give you more opportunities."
Although the Star Lord of Greed previously stated he wouldn't show mercy, Lin Fei was different from the others. He had already obtained most of the Six Paths Incarnation Technique, making him arguably the designated successor of the True Martial Emperor. Furthermore, with the Xuan Snake and Spirit Turtle, two mythical beasts once under the True Martial Emperor's command, protecting him, the Star Lord of Greed would likely give Lin Fei more opportunities.
If it had been someone else who arrived here instead of Lin Fei, then there would truly be no chance at all. Just as the spirit of the Xuan Snake had said before, the path it chose for Lin Fei was one of the most difficult among these dozens of paths.
After saying this, the Star Lord of Greed waved his hand, and the surrounding space distorted, and six more people appeared around Lin Fei at the same time.
These six people are the other six members of the Big Dipper Seven Stars.
"No need to be so surprised." Looking at Lin Fei's expression, the Star Lord of Greedy Wolf said with a smile, "The physical bodies of the seven of us perished back then. We are only able to survive now because of the power of our divine positions. Apart from me being able to manifest myself on a daily basis, the other six of us usually reside in our divine positions and can only show ourselves occasionally."
It seems that this Greedy Wolf Star Lord, as the leader of the Seven Star Lords of the Big Dipper, also possesses the highest cultivation level among them. He is the only one who can maintain a manifest state at any time and place, while the other six can only manifest for a very limited period of time.
"Is this the successor of the True Martial Emperor?" The other six Star Lords appeared, their gazes also focusing on Lin Fei.
Wenqu Xingjun spoke up, "Brother Tanlang, the six of us don't have much time to reveal ourselves. Let's not delay and begin the test!"
Greedy Wolf Star Lord nodded and said to Lin Fei, "Boy, are you ready? Although we'll give you more opportunities because you're the successor of the Emperor, this test is still not easy! If you can't pass the test, then we'll have no choice but to follow the rules and kill you here, waiting for the next person to arrive!"
The words of the Star Lord of Greed were not merely meant to scare Lin Fei. If Lin Fei failed the test of the Seven Star Lords of the Big Dipper, they would truly kill him on the spot. The Spirit of the Mystic Serpent had already told Lin Fei this before.
"Please ask the question, Star Lord." Lin Fei cupped his hands to the Star Lord of Greed. "If I cannot pass the Star Lord's test, I am not qualified to receive the divine power of the True Martial Emperor, and I am willing to die here!"
"Good!" Lord Greedy Wolf nodded with satisfaction: "Then are you ready?"
