Five Burial Stars!

In the Phantom Drift Territorial Domain, the Five Burial Stars didnʼt just refer to the five planets. It represented a dominant power in the region.

The Five Burial Stars were controlled by five major families, jointly dominating dozens of star systems within the Phantom Drift Territorial Domain, making them one of the three most powerful forces in the region.

You could say that the status of the Five Burial Stars in the territorial domain was akin to that of the Great Qian Empire in the Liuguang Territorial Domain.

In the celestial expanse, five planets orbit, forming a peculiar ring made of unique materials.

While they were called five planets, it was quite evident that one of them was significantly larger than the other four.

This planet was the core of the Five Burial Stars, known as the Fifth Burial Star!

At this moment, within a castle-like structure on the main continent of the Fifth Burial Star, representatives of the five major families had gathered.

Inside a grand and magnificent hall, five seats were arranged by a long table, each family member taking their place.

Four of them sat on either side of the long table, while one person sat at the upper end, clearly holding a distinguished position.

The Five Burial Stars have a particularly unique rule. Every few years, they conduct a re-ranking.

The ranking was determined based on each familyʼs economic strength, the strongest combat power, contributions to the development of the Five Burial Stars, and the strength of the younger generation.

The family that ranks first would become the true leading family of the Five Burial Stars, with the other four families providing unconditional support.

Of course, if a significant decision-making mistake occurred, the other four families could jointly initiate an impeachment to remove the originally leading family from its position.

To the Five Burial Stars, such a rule undoubtedly suits their development.

Survival of the fittest!

The laws in the universe were the most straightforward, and it was precisely by adhering to such rules that the Five Burial Stars had maintained their unyielding development for countless years.

Even in the face of significant crises, the Five Burial Stars had never declined.

Now, it was the Hengzang Family, one of the five major families, that held the reins of the Five Burial Stars.

”I presume you have all received the news!”

At the upper end, a middle-aged man with a face full of robust muscles spoke.

This man was the current head of the Hengzang Family, named Hengzang Chuan, a universe stage powerhouse with formidable strength.

”The Arbitration Association of the Seven Stellar Academies is relentless. They have sent another councilor.” Another woman shook her head with a charming smile.

She was the head of the Yizang Family, Yizang Bai. Despite being a woman, she was also a universe stage powerhouse, not to be underestimated.

The Yizang Family was a matriarchal family, where female warriors generally excelled, making the women generally stronger than the men.

”The bodies of those unlucky guys we took care of havenʼt even cooled yet.” The head of the Guizang Family, Guizang Feng, one of the five major families, nonchalantly placed his foot on the long table and burst into laughter.

”I had someone investigate the new cosmos realm. Itʼs said that he is just a freshman at the Stellar Academies, and heʼs also a cosmos-stage martial warrior!” Another man, in his fifties with half-white hair and a sinister demeanor, spoke slowly.

He was the head of the Yunzang Family, named Yunzang Ying, with a gloomy and ruthless personality. In the chaotic world of the Five Burial Stars, his reputation was extremely poor, striking fear into the hearts of those who heard his name.

”A new student? A cosmos-stage martial warrior?” Everyone was stunned.

”Is the Academy Arbitration Association joking with us?” asked the head of the Shouzang Family, the last of the five major families, with a helpless smile.

”Appointing a cosmos-stage warrior as a councilor, the Academy Arbitration Association seems to have lost their minds,” Guizang Feng commented speechlessly.

”Why would they appoint a freshman as a councilor? Iʼve never heard of a new student becoming a councilor,” Yizang Bai said, frowning in confusion, finding the situation somewhat suspicious.

”The reason given by the Stellar Academies is that this new councilor is a genius with formidable strength!” Yunzang Ying explained.

”Formidable strength? How powerful can a cosmos-stage warrior be?” Guizang Feng sneered.

The other heads felt the same way. They didnʼt believe that a cosmos-stage martial warrior was powerful enough to threaten them.

In the past, the councilors were always formidable individuals, often surpassing even the heaven stage. Given that they had eliminated numerous councilors before, they found it hard to believe that a cosmos-stage martial warrior could make any significant impact.

”Could it be that they just want to offer a sacrificial lamb?” Shouzang Liao touched his chin. ”After all, weʼve killed so many councilors in the past; maybe the Academy Arbitration Association has grown tired of it?”

”Thatʼs possible. Each time they send councilors, they seem to be unlucky fellows. It appears the Academy Arbitration Association is ready to give up control over our Five Burial Stars,” Yizang Bai remarked with a faint smile.

”Even the Academy Arbitration Association has to bow to the Five Burial Stars. Weʼre going to be famous!” Guizang Feng laughed triumphantly.

”Donʼt be complacent. The Academy Arbitration Association represents the Stellar Arbitration Councill. We have been maintaining a delicate balance. If we go too far, they wonʼt continue to turn a blind eye,” Yunzang Ying warned.

As the Stellar Arbitration Council was mentioned, the atmosphere became serious, and everyone nodded in agreement.

While suppressing the development of the Academy Arbitration Association in Five Burial Stars had given them a boost, they werenʼt arrogant enough to underestimate the Stellar Arbitration Council.

It was a force that all powerful beings in the universe feared, boasting a multitude of formidable individuals. Each one was a cause for concern.

”This councilor named Wang Teng is about to arrive at Five Burial Stars. Arrange for our younger generation to welcome him properly,” said Hengzang Chuan. He had remained silent until now, and as the discussion came to an end, he spoke in a calm tone.
