Not every sect had the qualifications to attend the Peacock Palace's meeting!
Including all the top sects in the Fifth Ring, there were about fifty large and medium-sized sects in total. The rest were not invited because they were not strong enough and would only cause trouble if they came.
Even so, there were still hundreds of people gathered before the event began. However, everyone followed the rules because the Peacock Palace valued rules the most.
The cultivators finally saw the Peacock Clan. Just like the legends, the Peacock Clan could no longer be described as beautiful. It was another kind of transcendence, as if it could not be described with words that humans used to describe beautiful things.
Peacocks were birds, but when they transformed into humans, they possessed a perfection that humans could not achieve. This could only mean that the Peacock Clan was born with a different understanding of beauty. It was an understanding that came from their bones and blood.
When demonic beasts transformed into humans, they would of course choose the most beautiful and handsome to transform into, but this kind of transformation was limited by their understanding of beauty. For example, when a tiger could transform into a human, it would definitely choose the one with a round waist and thick neck, because this was the only way it could match its beauty!
There were also some who imitated human beauties to transform into, imitating cats and drawing tigers, making a fool of themselves …
To be able to transform into humans and surpass the human understanding of beauty, this must be an instinct! A kind of aesthetic instinct!
Lou Xiaoyi stared at the Peacock Clan women without blinking, but his heart was not as unbearable as it appeared. He was puzzled, he seemed to have seen this kind of beauty before … It was a kind of similar temperament, but there seemed to be a difference …
The Peacock Clan was very familiar with this kind of drill that was held once in a hundred years. There was no nonsense, and there were not many brave words. After ten thousand years of inciting emotions, there was no passion left, and only mechanical repetition was left.
The drill was not carried out in a normal space, because the purpose of the drill was to one day block the celestial bodies flying in from outer space. There was obviously no similar environment simulation in the Fifth Ring's atmosphere.
The most realistic and effective method was to pull everyone out of the atmosphere, but this method was too clumsy and consumed a lot of energy. It was not a cultivator's method.
The Peacock Clan used their clan's sacred weapon, the Peacock Plume!
This was a sacred artifact with unfathomable abilities. It was the treasure of the Peacock Clan, protecting the safety of the Peacock Clan from generation to generation. Using it to complete the influence of Foundation Establishment cultivators on the stars was just an insignificant function of the Peacock Plume.
The Peacock Race was not stingy in using this treasure. Firstly, this treasure needed to be constantly used to maintain some functions. Secondly, this kind of sacred tool had its own consciousness. It could not be stolen. Stealing it might not bring any benefits, but it might bring disaster instead!
The method was very simple. All the several hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators would enter and be divided into nine groups. Each group would be guided by a Peacock Foundation Establishment cultivator. Inside, they would train in various kinds of linked abilities to push and move the stars. They were only a part of the power to push and move the stars. There was also the combination of the Jin Dan cultivators and the Yuanying True Monarchs …
Changing the trajectory of a star, especially one that was huge and had an unimaginable mass, was not a simple matter. Even a True Monarch would have limited abilities in front of a star. They would not be able to do whatever they wanted. Destroying a star with a flip of the hand, collapsing a star with a blow of the breath, these were just the imaginations of ignorant mortals. They did not exist in the real world of cultivation.
This was the power of the Peacock Clan. They did not use brute force. Instead, they cleverly borrowed the mysterious powers of different realms in the world of cultivation to achieve their goals. Therefore, they needed the cooperation of cultivators of different realms. This was especially true for the Foundation Establishment cultivators. They had the least experience and needed to practice.
What did the Peacock Plume look like? Was it just a feather? Lou Xiaoyi could not see it … What he could see was that there were nine Peacock women standing in front of them. Each of them would be responsible for a few dozen of them.
The specific arrangements would be made by Peacock Palace, and there would be no drawing of lots for the sake of so-called fairness. Lou Xiaoyi could also see that the allocation was a hodgepodge. Behind each Peacock woman, there would be one person from each sect leading them.
In other words, all the human sects were split up and evenly distributed to each team. This also cut off the possibility of cultivators from sects who did not abide by the rules working together to cause trouble.
Among the cultivators from each sect, most of them were led by the current generation's Eldest Senior Brother or Second Senior Brother. In other words, in each team, there were many experts who were at the top of the Five Ring Foundation Establishment Ranking List. There were even some who were ranked in the top ten. However, the Peacock Palace was not here to compete in martial arts. With the rules of the Peacock Palace and the suppression of their respective elders, they were able to coexist peacefully.
Unless they had a good relationship and were familiar with each other, everyone did not want to see each other. Lou Xiaoyi would not rashly ask who the Eldest Senior Brother of the other sects were. Similarly, others would not guess who was the leader of this Xuanyuan group. Whoever asked would lose the initiative and be at a disadvantage!
In Lou Xiaoyi's group, the only one he knew was the Swordsman from the Wei Sword Mountain. They had crossed paths in Erhai. There was also an Swordsman who should be from the Firmament Sword Sect. Although they did not know each other, they could still nod and greet each other. They were part of the Unbreakable Sword Vein Alliance of the Five Ring Foundation and could be considered one of them.
As for the others, they were at a loss. Others could come here because of the accumulation of cultivation over a long period of time, so they more or less had connections. He could not. The process of his rise was too fast and the time was too short. He did not have any connections outside at all!
Wei Sword Mountain and Kun Dao Li Sect were the only two sects that he was slightly familiar with. However, in the ranking of sects in the Five Ring Continent, Kun Dao Li Sect was not in the top 50. Therefore, this meeting at the Peacock Palace had nothing to do with them.
Since the nine groups had been divided, the master did not dawdle. A noble peacock woman waved her hand and a mottled seven-colored light brushed down. Hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators disappeared.
After the disciples left, the Peacock Palace finally quieted down. With the presence of these several hundred curious babies, although it couldn't be said that the palace was in a complete mess these few days, it was definitely chaotic. Everyone was interested in this unfamiliar and mysterious quasi-sage race. This was trouble that couldn't be avoided.
Fortunately, it was quiet now.
Kingfishers continuously delivered fruits and wine. This was the banquet that the Peacock tribe had planned for the guests. The remaining guests were the Yuanying Spiritual Master and Jin Dan. They could discuss some issues on a deeper level.
Even if the Peacock tribe was a Quasi-sage tribe, it did not mean that they were completely ignorant of the ways of the world. It was necessary for them to maintain good relations with the sects in the Five Ring Continent. They were also very clear that if any of the three strongest orthodoxies in the Five Ring Continent, the Supreme, the Three Pure, and Xuanyuan attacked them, the extinction of the Peacock tribe would be imminent.
They were only guests of the Five Ring Domain and had a special mission. They were not the masters!
