Sanctuary Starfield Journey

The next lesson was focused on building cohesion, so there wasn't much to skim over. I'll skip it for you.

It was a astronomy class, and just as class started, some breaking news broke: the skills class teacher, Dong Shijia, had resigned due to excessive pressure, and all skills classes had become self-study periods. Upon hearing this, Mo Bei couldn't help but think, "Are these people really that terrifying? They can even scare away a teacher." Thinking this, the astronomy teacher, Kong Yin-Shi, entered the classroom, took a deep breath, and asked, "Are you... are you interested in any of these?" Seeing that no one seemed to be speaking, Mo Bei asked what she wanted to ask: "Dragon Hall." Kong Yin-Shi seemed relieved upon hearing this, thinking, "They're not that scary after all," and slowly began to speak.

"Dragon Hall officially became an affiliated force of Extreme Peak Valley in 7513213609. Actually, there's a misconception: Extreme Peak Valley wasn't wealthy back then. Although it had the amulet industry to support it, most of its resources still belonged to Gensokyo, and it didn't earn much money on its own. It accepted very few small forces. But even in such a dire situation, the impoverished Dragon Hall steadfastly chose (then he lowered his voice slightly: "Actually, we were desperate." Mo Bei responded with a smile)."

"Back then, the Dragon Emperor, the head of the Dragon Hall, was juggling both the inner circle and the extreme peaks and valleys, working himself to the bone every day. Initially, the Dragon Hall was open to anyone, which now seems a bit contrary to the word 'dragon,' but it was a necessary measure at the time. Later, after gaining some reputation, to live up to the name 'Dragon Hall,' they changed to only accepting those with dragon-related connections, while retaining older members. However, this had significant drawbacks. It resulted in the loss of extremely talented array masters, a large number of magicians, innately powerful star users (a general term for those in the Demon Realm), one-in-a-hundred beast tamers, artifact users with the same bloodline but no connection, highly selective spiritual users, and rare superhumans. Fortunately, those remaining were all high-quality combatants, leading to a situation where strength increased at an ever-accelerating pace." Mo Bei was still memorizing array masters, then the next magician had to be memorized. He'd finally memorized two, and then a new type of "something else" was thrown at him, leaving him feeling a bit dizzy and overwhelmed.

Kong Yin-Shi gave them time to take notes and organize their thoughts before starting to talk about the history of development.

"The dragon race, facing dire straits at the time, saw their numbers plummet to single digits!" He spoke with great excitement, his earlier tension completely gone. "The Dragon Emperor, with nowhere else to turn, decided to lead his people to the deepest valleys at the highest peaks. Perhaps his inherited will moved the divine dragon, which then cast a curse upon him, thus setting him on the path of inheritance." Deng Kaiyang, awakened by the noise, glanced up before lying back down to sleep: "I thought something was up, all this hot-blooded stuff..."

"However, in 7603858106, the Dragon Emperor died from overwork. Members spontaneously launched a large-scale search and preserved the Evil Blood Ring in the Memory Palace." Then he secretly lowered his voice: "This lousy mechanism is still in use now. Every time they find a hall master who seems to be reincarnated, they let them try it out. If it works, he's a hall master; if it doesn't, he's not. We don't know why they make it so complicated?" The audience burst into laughter. Kong Yin-Shi's mood only calmed down when he saw them laughing.

"The second-generation hall master, Long Yi, was found in the same year. He established a cooperative relationship between the Dragon Hall and the Wings of the Heavenly Yin Empire. Whenever someone wanted to pass through, they would first be screened to see if they were related to dragons. If so, they would be reported to the Dragon Hall. After all, this is a peaceful universe." Mo Bei nodded: "It does seem to be more peaceful now."

"In 7689032415, Long Yi died, and the third-generation hall master, Long Zhi, was found. Together with Jifeng Shengu, they accumulated many spoils of war, rare items, and elixirs. I heard that Yao Lao's resurrection elixir is also in the Dragon Hall's treasury, which was recently opened, causing quite a stir." Mo Bei couldn't help but think, "But which is better, the elixir that Mo Moxiao gave me or this?"

"In 9342663308, the influence of the Black Star Five Crimes was so great that the Dragon Hall, as a major force, also dispatched many members. Long Zhi fell on the battlefield, leaving them no time to attend to the battlefield. They could only first search for the fourth hall master, and Long Xing went to the front lines to fight as soon as he was found." Mo Bei felt a deep respect for the hall master.

"Those years with the Black Star Five Sins were tough. The population plummeted, and very few new members joined. That was the reality for most factions at the time. The destruction of the Dragon Hall was also imminent. But between revival and the fate of the universe, the Hall Master resolutely chose the latter. None of the Hall's members were able to fight anymore; they all perished in the Black Star Five Sins' campaign. The Hall Master shouldered the mission alone, representing the Dragon Hall in battle!" Kong Yin-Shi's blood boiled with excitement.

"The Black Star Five Sins temporarily retreated, a fact that Long Xing knew was far from easy. He was already on guard. After people in the universe learned of their exploits, many wanted to join this glorious place, causing the Wings of Heavenly Yin to be overflowing with members every day. Long Xing couldn't even be happy; even while recovering from his injuries, he insisted on training new members. After recovering, he would also patrol the battlefield with the then Heavenly Yin Emperor, Dongfang Busiqi, to observe the Black Star Five Palaces." At this point, his tone softened slightly, and a look of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

"Long Xing's caution was correct. The Black Star Five Sins swept in when the time was 10 billion years, and the entire Long Hall was well prepared. However, Long Xing died on the front line, and it was not until 56326108 years later that the 5th Hall Master, Long Yu, was found."

"Not long after the Destroyer severely damaged the Black Star Five Sins, Long Yu died in battle against Dongfang Busiqi in 1071045306. He only found the 6th Hall Master, Long Yi, in 10967334401. The Black Star Five Sins finally ended in 10900137441. Long Yi's introduction of the Treasure Vault Points system pushed the Dragon Hall's popularity to its peak, after which it entered a period of slow development." Kong Yin-Shi turned around.

"Suddenly!" Kong Yin-Shi turned around, startling Deng Kaiyang awake. "Twelve years ago, Long Yi died suddenly when the Dragon Hall Treasury was opened. The cause of death remains unknown to this day. It is known as the Miltosky Incident."

Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class. Kong Yin-Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, I've finished a lesson. It felt alright."
