Chapter 1811: The Nine Great Transmission Elders

Ye Yuan's words stunned everyone.

Jiang Hong quickly recovered and laughed, "The Big Dipper Seven Drums? Hah, do you think the Big Dipper Seven Drums are like the Yaoguang Drum you struck during your entrance test? Let me tell you, that Yaoguang Drum was enchanted with a restriction, which is why you could strike it! Otherwise, none of you newcomers would have been able to strike it!"

After entering the sect, Ye Yuan had heard that the Big Dipper Seven Drums were the Shadow Moon Sect's supreme treasure.

When all seven drums were sounded together, they could nearly kill a Heavenly Lord-level expert!

This treasure was not a True God Mystic Treasure but a genuine Heavenly Lord Spiritual Treasure!

Each of the seven drums was a peak True God Mystic Treasure, but when combined, they became a true Heavenly Lord Spiritual Treasure!

Of course, the prerequisite was that someone could sound them all.

The Big Dipper Seven Drums were left by the founding patriarch of the Shadow Moon Sect, who established a rule: anyone who could sound the Big Dipper Seven Drums would have the entire sect's full support to fulfill one wish.

However, in the millions of years since the patriarch, no one had ever accomplished it.

Now, Ye Yuan actually boasted that he would sound the Big Dipper Seven Drums—wasn't that a laughingstock?

"This guy, thinking he's so talented, is utterly overestimating himself!"

"Hah, throughout the ages, how many exceptionally gifted individuals have tried to sound the Big Dipper Seven Drums, yet none succeeded. What makes him think he can?"

"An ignorant fool who has no idea what the Big Dipper Seven Drums truly are, yet dares to spout nonsense."

...

As soon as Ye Yuan spoke, it immediately drew a wave of ridicule.

The Big Dipper Seven Drums were the sacred object of the Shadow Moon Sect, and over time, no one had been foolish enough to attempt sounding them.

But now, some guy was spouting nonsense, claiming he would sound the Big Dipper Seven Drums.

The Woodcutter leaped onto the arena and said to Ye Yuan, "Kid, don't mess around. Even the Sect Master cannot sound the Big Dipper Seven Drums. You... cannot sound them. Where there's life, there's hope. We'll take revenge another day."

Bai Li Qingyan also stepped onto the arena and advised, "Yes, Ye Yuan. Now that you've shown your talent, the sect will surely regard you differently. With your talent, revenge won't take long. Besides, using the sounding of the Big Dipper Seven Drums to kill him is like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken."

Even he thought Ye Yuan's words were just spoken in anger.

Once the Big Dipper Seven Drums were sounded, the entire sect would have to go all out to help him fulfill one wish.

Such a huge favor, used to kill a Qian Ye, was like using a cannon to swat a mosquito—overkill.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan said seriously, "I'm not messing around! I said I will kill him, and I will! Mercy to an enemy is cruelty to oneself! I'm set on sounding those drums!"

No one expected Ye Yuan's attitude to be so resolute.

...

Seven Star Valley, the forbidden area of the Shadow Moon Sect, was also where the Big Dipper Seven Drums were kept.

At this moment, the nine Great Transmission Elders had all gathered.

Many of them looked at the figure ahead with displeasure.

"Hmph! An ignorant brat, actually wanting to sound the Big Dipper Seven Drums!" said the Transmission Elder of Tianxin Peak discontentedly.

"A wet-behind-the-ears kid, actually making us nine Great Transmission Elders gather—what airs!" said the Transmission Elder of Tianchong Star equally discontentedly.

"Woodcutter, are you sure you want to go along with this kid's madness? If he can't even sound three drumbeats, not only will he be exiled to Reflection Cliff, but you will also be severely punished!" said the Transmission Elder of Tianzhu Star, looking meaningfully at the Woodcutter.

Opening Seven Star Valley required the presence of all nine Great Transmission Elders.

Each of them held part of the incantation; only when all nine stars gathered could the Seven Star Valley be opened.

All this trouble was naturally meant to prevent outsiders from intruding.

However, to prevent disciples from maliciously wasting time, the sect had naturally set strict rules.

If a disciple beating the drum could not sound it three times, not only would the disciple himself be severely punished, but the transmission elder of his own peak would also face heavy penalties.

Therefore, before entering the Seven Stars Valley, a disciple must obtain the approval of his peak's transmission elder.

Ye Yuan's talent went without saying; the Woodcutter had long recognized him.

But those three drumbeats were not so easy to achieve.

The Woodcutter said calmly, "Just rest assured! With Ye Yuan's talent, even if he can't sound the drum seven times, three times is absolutely no problem."

The transmission elder of Heavenly Pillar Star sneered, "You have too much confidence in this kid. Over the years, not a single disciple has been able to sound the drum three times!"

The Woodcutter chuckled, "Ye Yuan is different from them! Enough talk, open the Seven Stars Valley!"

The nine True God powerhouses unleashed their auras, and the mere pressure made Ye Yuan's face turn pale.

The True God realm was too powerful!

Nine beams of light shot up from the ground, piercing into nine directions.

Rumble...

The restrictions of the Seven Stars Valley slowly opened under these nine beams.

Ye Yuan looked at the Woodcutter's figure, his eyes full of gratitude.

This matter had deviated from what he had anticipated.

If not for the Woodcutter, he would have died a miserable death this time.

Ye Yuan took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the Seven Stars Valley, with the nine transmission elders following closely behind.

As soon as he entered the Seven Stars Valley, a fierce gale swept over.

Caught off guard, Ye Yuan was nearly blown away.

This scene, witnessed by the several transmission elders, naturally made them even more disdainful.

"Hey, an outer disciple beating the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum—this is truly a first in the sect's history. If we're talking about overreaching, I only respect this kid!" Jiang Hong looked at Ye Yuan with utter contempt.

Ye Yuan's purpose in beating the drum was to kill Qian Ye.

Among these nine transmission elders, naturally, he disliked Ye Yuan the most.

Although Ye Yuan's talent was astonishing, he now wished that Ye Yuan would be shaken to death by the Big Dipper Seven Stars Drum.

The Woodcutter said calmly, "Jiang Hong, I know you're very envious of Ye Yuan now. Heh, you big sect folks all look down on those from small sects, all look down on my Heavenly Hero Peak. But you don't know that true geniuses often come from small sects! Just like me, back then with an axe I chopped those so-called favored sons of heaven until they were dizzy, and that's how I got where I am today. And today, Ye Yuan will also use his strength to make you regret what you did back then!"

The Woodcutter's words made the faces of the other eight transmission elders darken.

The Woodcutter back then was indeed a legend of Shadow Moon Sect.

He came from an obscure small sect, wielding an axe, and swept through the so-called favored sons of heaven.

Later, like Ye Yuan, the Woodcutter was sidelined to Heavenly Hero Peak.

But he didn't complain; day after day he hugged his axe and chopped firewood.

Chopping day after day, chopping year after year.

He was ridiculed and scorned by countless people.

Until one day, an overwhelmingly powerful aura burst through the sky.

He, the Woodcutter, broke through to True God!
