Chapter 236: Ancestral Star of the Great Completion Holy Body

Sure.

Yang Zhu naturally wants to return to the Northern Dipper, but for now he's not in a hurry; he will set out along the route his father laid out, launching into the universe.

Take care.

The Yaochi Holy Maiden swayed her veil, lightly tapped her fair chin, and bade farewell to the group.

I know you can return to the Northern Dipper soon; by then you must keep this matter secret. When we return, we'll surely pull off a big job!

Before leaving, the Big Black Dog rose onto its hind legs, placed its big black paw on Li Tian's shoulder, wearing a wicked, profound smile.

Understood; we wouldn't dare act before Brother Yang Zhu speaks.

Li Tian nodded, naturally hearing a warning in the Black Emperor's words; he indeed dared not act rashly, giving a solemn nod of agreement.

Until the day you return.

Jiang Yi Fei is steady-natured; after returning, he naturally won't boast about it, acting as long as he has confidence.

The Beginningless Immortal Platform was unleashed, enveloping Yang Zhu and his four companions in immortal light; they then vanished together with the platform.

The Starry Sky Ancient Road continued forward; half a month later, the group finally arrived at the next stop.

Is this an unknown ancient star?

High above ten thousand zhang, Yang Zhu and his companions stepped from the Beginningless Immortal Platform, and a tiny 'Life Ancient Star' suddenly came into view.

Why say it's tiny? Because the ancient star before them pales in comparison to other Life Ancient Stars—the gap is astronomical.

Even if the ancient star before them were magnified a thousandfold, it would still not reach one-fifth of the Eastern Wasteland.

Rather than calling it an ancient star domain, it's more like a patch of star where other beings have migrated to dwell and reproduce.

Strange—is this even an ancient star? It has a faint life aura, but so weak it's barely detectable.

The Big Black Dog muttered, having never seen such a situation in ancient texts, feeling utterly bewildered.

Duan De stroked his chin, his forehead furrowed with black lines, his gaze shifting: 'As a Daoist, I sense something's off, but I can't quite say what...'

What is this?

Suddenly, something within Yang Zhu reacted; he opened his palm, and a coffin hovered above it.

The coffin is only a dozen centimeters long, simple yet grand, naturally formed, exuding an ineffable Daoist rhythm.

Its case is made from the trunk of a Divine Peach Tree, carved all over with intricate Daoist patterns, crisscrossing, comprising nine layers.

Inside, the coffin itself is made from the heartwood of an Enlightenment Tea Tree, inscribed with the Human Classic and the Beginningless Forbidden Scriptures, profound and mysterious, capable of suppressing everything in the world.

At this moment, for unknown reasons, the interior reacted for the first time; a wisp of essence slipped from the desiccated sea of bitterness and vanished.

Could it be related to this place?

Just as the group arrived, the corpse of the Great Completion Holy Body stirred, showing that this place is closely linked to the one within.

What a marvelous coffin—what does it suppress?

Duan De was instantly captivated; with his knowledge and experience, he saw at once that this was a supreme treasure.

Made from the trunk of a Divine Peach Tree, it must be quite special.

Divine Peach Trees have been cultivated in the tens of thousands within the Yaochi holy grounds; the Yaochi Holy Maiden knows them all too well.

Inside lies the corpse of the Great Completion Holy Body.

Upon hearing this, everyone's breath hitched; they knew the Enlightenment Ancient Coffin was extraordinary, never expecting it to hold the corpse of a Great Completion Holy Body!

A Great Completion Holy Body can rival the ancient Great Emperors, nearly identical except lacking the Imperial Dao laws.

His corpse can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with an Imperial Corpse—just imagine how terrifying it is. 'Who is that one in the Holy Cliff?'

The Big Black Dog recalled something; upon entering the Divine Cliff, he and Ye Fan and the others left first, while Yang Zhu remained inside for a considerable time.

It's likely then that he took the Great Completion Holy Body from the stone coffin.

Let's go down and see.

Yang Zhu nodded; as a stop on the Starry Sky Road, this place must have its reason, so he needs to explore it himself.

They reached the ground, and a breath of ancient times immediately hit them.

As seen above, the area is fairly lush, most places covered in greenery, towering ancient trees, entwined old vines, displaying a primitive aspect.

Here, many small creatures roam; occasional strange beasts appear, but due to low life force, most are not very strong.

Even the fiercest beasts only reach the Four Extremes Secret Realm—nothing to write home about.

This was the Big Black Dog's first thought; this place pales in comparison to the Northern Dipper.

Yang Zhu and company, with considerable cultivation and extreme speed, crossed over ten thousand li in two hours, finally sighting the first human.

Who... who are you?

That was a young man in his early twenties, fairly handsome, staring in surprise at the group before him.

Then his gaze sharpened, warily eyeing Yang Zhu and company, apparently wary.

We're just passing by; we wanted to ask what place this is.

The Big Black Dog didn't care; his opponent only had the Divine Bridge Secret Realm, and he could wipe out thousands with a single finger.

Little brother, don't be like that; with your cultivation, we won't resort to bullying.

Duan De stepped forward, patting the man's shoulder to ease his tension.

The young man nodded, dropping his guard, seeing that those before him were no ordinary folk.

With his meager cultivation, any effort would be futile; he couldn't last a single round, so he might as well give up.

This is our ancestral star...

The man also sensed no ill will, scratching his head, appearing somewhat simple, and began to explain everything.

Descendants of the Great Completion Holy Body—who would have thought they'd fallen so far...

After hearing that, the group let out a collective sigh.

As Yang Zhu said, this place is not an ancient star but a Great Completion Holy Body, carrying its descendants to propagate here.

Here was originally a bald, barren place, more like a huge stone slab; everything in sight was desolate. Only after enduring countless ages of habitation did it become the scene we see now.

And that Great Accomplished Sacred Body, if my guess is correct, is very likely the one from the Blood‑stained Holy Cliff.

And the man's name is Feng Gu, which is homophonous with Feng Gu, implying he can uphold his true nature; even if his attainable cultivation is limited, he does not forget his original intention.

"Unfortunately, this place lacks a vital essence to replenish; usable resources are dwindling, and our lineage has gradually declined."

After he spoke, Feng Gu's face showed helplessness and misery; how glorious the Great Accomplished Sacred Body was, yet later generations have fallen so low; they all think they have disgraced their ancestors' name.

"Do you know why you have moved here?" the big black dog asked.

Logically, a generation of Great Accomplished Sacred Body, with unmatched bearing, wanting to establish a foothold in the Big Dipper or other Gu Xing, would have more than enough; they could all live very prosperously.

Yet they insist on moving their descendants to this desolate land; everything is too unusual, there must be an unspeakable reason.
