Chapter 388
Han Li naturally did not know that a crisis that might have come had been resolved in this way. Net
But out of caution, he still flew toward the northeast day and night.
Since he was wanted, the southwestern sea area could no longer be stayed in. But if he wanted to go to other places, he must have a sea map of the entire Chaotic Star Sea.
But Han Li only had the sea map of the southwest.
Therefore, a month later, Han Li stopped at a small island.
Although this island was not large, because it was at the junction of the southwestern sea area and other sea areas, it did have a very prosperous small marketplace.
Out of caution, Han Li let Qu Hun use a certain secret technique to conceal the appearances of the two, and then each put on a cloak.
In this way, unless it was a cultivator with a higher cultivation than Qu Hun, otherwise, if they wanted to peek at the appearances of the two with spiritual sense, all they would see was a blur of red light.
Over the next half day, Han Li supplemented a large pile of raw materials and the like in the marketplace on the island, and purchased many classic texts and relevant sea maps introducing various situations in the Chaotic Star Sea, spending quite a lot.
And the many small shopkeepers in the marketplace, because of the arrival of this big customer, Han Li, were even more delighted!
Once he bought everything, Han Li did not dare to stay long and left the small island that very day.
Sitting on the Divine Wind Boat, Han Li took out jade slip after jade slip and read them carefully.
After who knows how long, he let out a long breath, threw the jade slip in his hand into the storage pouch, and fell into deep thought.
After a careful look, Han Li finally had an approximate understanding of the situation in the entire Chaotic Star Sea.
The Chaotic Star Sea is huge! But how huge it is, no one knows, and no one is stupid enough to go and measure it.
The sea maps explored so far are only a small part of the true sea area of the Chaotic Star Sea, which is something all cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea recognize together.
The explored sea area is usually called the "Inner Star Sea," and the unexplored outer sea area is the "Outer Star Sea."
And what is generally referred to as the "Chaotic Star Sea" actually only refers to the "Inner Star Sea."
The "Outer Star Sea" has a more terrifying name, the "Demonic Sea." Because there are many unimaginable and powerful demonic beasts living there, it is said that they can rival Core Formation stage cultivators without falling behind, which made many low-tier cultivators who had never been to the Outer Star Sea gasp for a long time.
The classic texts also say that in the ancient times, whether it was the "Inner Star Sea" or the "Outer Star Sea," it was the world of demonic beasts in the sea, and cultivators could only guard a few isolated small islands.
Later, after an unknown long period of time, the many predecessors of the Chaotic Star Sea eradicated the powerful demonic beasts one by one and opened up the Inner Star Sea area of today.
Nowadays, the entire Chaotic Star Sea is governed by a vast force called the "Star Palace."
This force has existed for so long that even the classic texts do not give an accurate time.
The reasons for its initial establishment are also varied; some say it was established by the batch of senior experts who eradicated the demonic beasts back then, others say it was established by a certain giant owl from before who unified the Chaotic Star Sea back then, and so on.
Nowadays, the Heavenly Star Palace has built a super city, "Heavenly Star City," on a giant island in the middle of the Inner Star Sea, where there are two city masters known as the "Heavenly Star Twin Sages," ruling the entire "Star Palace" organization.
These two city masters are mysterious and never leave Heavenly Star City, and even less do they appear in public, so no one has seen their true faces.
But the cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea all spread the word that these two sages are either late-stage Core Formation cultivators or legendary human beings of the Spirit Transformation realm.
After all, the name of the Heavenly Star Twin Sages has been circulating for nearly a thousand years. How could ordinary cultivators have such a long lifespan?
And the "Star Palace," in addition to "Heavenly Star City," also established direct branch islands in eight regions on the periphery of the Inner Star Sea and four regions in the middle, each taking the three largest islands.
Known as the Outer Twenty-Four Star Islands and the Inner Twelve Star Islands, they stand in an arching position toward "Heavenly Star City."
And the Kuixing Island where Han Li stayed was one of the outer islands under the jurisdiction of this "Star Palace."
In this way, these star islands, plus the numerous small islands attached to these star islands, it is not an exaggeration to say that the "Star Palace" is the official force of the Chaotic Star Sea.
What is even more amazing is that this "Star Palace" appoints the masters of these star islands in two ways.
The Inner Twelve Star Islands are appointed by the two sages choosing six people each from within the organization. The Outer Twenty-Four Star Islands are publicly challenged and selected in "Heavenly Star City" every hundred years, and the final winner automatically becomes the island master, enjoying the treatment of having great power in one's hands.
Thus, the selection assembly for outer island masters held in "Heavenly Star City" every hundred years is called the "Star-Plucking Assembly" by the numerous cultivators who want to leap over the dragon gate. Every time the assembly is about to be held, almost all high-tier cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea will gather there.
These cultivators, some come straight for the position of island master, some just want to open their eyes and communicate with other fellow daoists, and some want to take this opportunity to exchange materials, pills, or even cultivation techniques, which can be called a gathering of wind and clouds, almost making Heavenly Star City overcrowded at that time.
But even if it is not the day the Star-Plucking Assembly is held, Heavenly Star City is bustling and prosperous, with dragons and snakes mixed together.
Because this city is extremely free, completely allowing cultivators of all ranks to enter and exit at will; apart from not allowing fighting in the city and requiring those who live long-term to pay a certain amount of spirit stones every month, the people of the "Star Palace" will not interfere with any affairs of this city.
Even the demonic heads and evil cultivators wanted by the "Star Palace" itself, as long as they do not cause trouble in this city, the people of the "Star Palace" will not actively arrest them.
Those big merchants are extremely satisfied with this free environment, and have set up permanent storefronts in the city, and have also organized their own auctions and acquisition lines, etc., which are businesses that can earn a lot of spirit stones.
In this way, the various rare things flowing from all over the Chaotic Star Sea to Heavenly Star City every year are countless!
Besides this, Heavenly Star City has another place that attracts many cultivators to come. In the city, the Heavenly Star Palace actually has teleportation arrays leading directly to the Outer Star Sea.
As long as someone is willing to pay a large amount of spirit stones, they can be teleported to dozens of "Demonic Beast Islands" of varying sizes in the Outer Star Sea; these islands are all isolated islands with spiritual energy opened up by predecessors.
Once they reach these islands, cultivators can kill various demonic beasts in the nearby sea, seize demonic beast cores, and then bring them back to Heavenly Star City to exchange for spirit stones.
With the value of demonic beast cores, almost one Rank 5 demonic beast core can be sold for nearly a thousand spirit stones, and a Rank 6 demonic beast core can almost make a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator worry-free for life from then on.
Therefore, the cultivators who come to Heavenly Star City every year are mostly here for these teleportation arrays.
After all, not taking the teleportation array and flying to the outer sea by oneself not only takes too long for the round trip, but wandering in the outer sea like a headless fly is even more dangerous.
Seeing this, Han Li almost didn't need to think, and immediately decided to go to "Heavenly Star City."
Whether it was the safe environment there or the teleportation array that could kill demonic beasts and take cores, the temptation to him was truly not small!
Of course, apart from the super force of the "Star Palace," the Chaotic Star Sea also has other large and small forces, such as "Night Dragon Island," "Four Major Merchant Alliances," "Charm Demonic Sect," "Three Immortal Sects," etc., and of course "Extreme Yin Island" and "Six-Union Hall" can also be considered two not-so-small forces.
Han Li silently organized the information he obtained in his heart, and then took out the sea map of the Chaotic Star Sea from his body and looked at it carefully for a while.
Then he changed the direction of the Divine Wind Boat, took Qu Hun, transformed into a white light, and broke through the air.
A few months later, a streak of white light streaked across a certain sea area, and standing on it was Han Li, who was showing a look of fatigue due to the long journey day after day.
Speaking of which, such a long journey was truly a rare experience for Han Li.
Because he didn't want to waste the time spent on the journey, Han Li tried to cultivate the Da Yan Jue while driving the magic tool to fly, relying on his powerful spiritual sense.
At first, this kind of distraction technique was extremely difficult. After all, this was not the simple control of a puppet using a cultivated split spirit!
It was a genuine distraction technique, so he often made mistakes at the beginning.
Either he was cultivating and the Divine Wind Boat began to fly crookedly, or when cultivating the Da Yan Jue, he could not concentrate that part of his spiritual sense, and for several days in a row, there was no progress.
But there is a saying, practice makes perfect.
After countless experiments and distraction, now Han Li could finally barely sit and cultivate the Da Yan Jue without changing his expression while driving the magic tool to fly.
However, today Han Li was not distracted, but honestly stood at the front of the Divine Wind Boat, looking ahead non-stop.
According to the deserted island he passed half a month ago.
He should have reached the vicinity of the giant island where Heavenly Star City is located! Therefore, he became somewhat excited in his heart.
After flying forward for a moment, Han Li's expression stirred slightly.
Because in front, vaguely, a huge black dot seemed to appear.
Han Li drove the magic tool under his feet without hesitation, and the speed suddenly increased, flying rapidly.
