Chapter 444: Demon Emperor Taiyi, Nine Suns Across the Sky

The process of refining the Taiyi True Spirit Fish went even more smoothly than Su Ping had imagined.

As the True Spirit Fish was completely enveloped by Su Ping's Dharma Power, it transformed into starlight and merged into Su Ping's body.

Su Ping felt a sudden flash of inspiration and hurriedly left the Pot Heaven.

Once back in the Solar System.

A speck of golden True Spirit within Su Ping's body could not wait to leave his body, plunging into the Sun at near light speed.

Several hours later, the golden True Spirit transformed into a phantom that was ninety percent similar to Su Ping, only more majestic and god-like, slowly emerging from the deepest part of the Sun.

With a slight circulation of his internal Dharma Power, golden Great Sun Divine Light immediately erupted to protect his entire body.

At the same time, a Three-legged Golden Crow Dharma Image about ten thousand meters tall appeared behind him!

This Dharma Image was entirely condensed from Great Sun Divine Light and Sun True Fire, and it had already reached the realm of turning the virtual into reality, appearing vivid and lifelike.

With every gesture, it could already generate a Golden Crow Domain covering a radius of ten thousand miles.

"And as a split soul of Demon Emperor Taiyi, even if this Seventh Stage is not comparable to the True Martial Demon-Subduing Emperor or the Fox God phantom, it shouldn't be far off."

Upon receiving the news, the old Sect Master specially invited several Elders who were still in seclusion to hold a small meeting in a secret chamber.

Even though Su Ping, relying on the Gravitational Wave Artifact obtained from the Waluo Civilization and with energy provided by High-grade Spirit Stones, could already find Space Nodes within star systems, making the discovery and development of new star systems almost standardized.

Thus, it grew from a speck of True Spirit into a humanoid soul body in one go and was able to summon the Golden Crow Dharma Image.

As a split soul of Demon Emperor Taiyi, it had already gained the recognition of the Sun, the ownerless star of this star system.

Within the mountain gate of the Great Light Shadow Sect, a hegemon-level force in a certain Great World.

Once it appeared, it stirred up a huge commotion in the Xuanling World.

Su Ping decided to collect the rare treasures needed to increase the progress of Demon Emperor Taiyi on one hand, and to slightly tilt manpower and material resources toward developing new star systems on the other.

"Billions of stars; each one can allow Demon Emperor Taiyi to gain recognition and obtain power."

"The treasures the Master requires are all Yang-attributed; these are rare items even in the entire North King Time Domain, right?"

Several experienced managers were initially a bit troubled, but after reading the instructions clearly, their minds became active again.

Su Ping naturally knew that as long as there were Spirit Stones, his situation was special.

Even some small and medium-sized sects that only occupied one or two Small Worlds heard the news that they could exchange Yang-attributed treasures for Spirit Herbs that prolong life.

Su Ping did as he thought; he first went to the Kalo Civilization's star system and let the Demon Emperor Taiyi split soul receive the baptism of the Kalo Sun.

Plus, wanting to break through from the Eighth Stage to the Ninth Stage, because the Demon Emperor Taiyi split soul itself had defects, it would require a four-digit number of stars to have a chance to break through technique with brute force.

Truly good things followed the principle of barter; Spirit Stones and the like were just a supplement, a top-up.

Having gained the blessing of twenty stars, Demon Emperor Taiyi directly advanced to the late Eighth Stage.

"The stars in the vast galaxy are not projections like those in the Small Worlds of the Cultivation World."

The bustling and prosperous Xuanling World finally welcomed their Master again.

Then, Deacon Xiahou and the others learned for the first time that the Master also had needs for rare treasures.

"Hmm?"

Su Ping felt the Sun True Fire within his body also grow five times stronger from "drinking the soup."

One day later.

"I'm afraid it can't be exchanged with Spirit Stones..."

However, whether it is heading to a Space Node, finding the resonance frequency, building a space-time gate, or modifying the equipment of exploration fleets before reaching that unfamiliar star system, every process requires time.

Cultivation World.

Of course, the best thing would be if, in a year, he could fish out another Taiyi True Spirit Fish to fill in the missing soul fragments of Demon Emperor Taiyi, so that subsequent breakthroughs would not encounter bottlenecks.

Then he went to the Waluo Civilization's star system and received the blessing of the star there.

And very quickly, the news that one could exchange Yang-attributed treasures for Spirit Herbs spread throughout the cultivation circles of the North King Time Domain.

With the Demon Emperor Taiyi split soul at the late Eighth Stage, Su Ping estimated that the veteran Heavenly Immortal who came to throw his life away last time probably wouldn't be a match for Taiyi one-on-one.

"And the most important point is, in this universe where I am."

After three days and three nights of persuasion, the Elders finally agreed to the old Sect Master using the sect's inventory to go to the Xuanling World to exchange for several important Spirit Herbs for the Great Light Shadow Sect.

"Gaining the recognition of a star and receiving the infusion of stellar consciousness and charm directly saves me at least a thousand years of hard cultivation and nurturing."

"Sun True Gold, Nine Yang Divine Stone, Morning Dawn Divine Light..."

Millennium Spirit Herbs, and they are rare varieties that are Extremely Difficult Challenge to keep alive.

It is a pity that to continue gaining the blessing of stellar power, he needs to wait for a period of time.

"Recreating the former glory of Demon Emperor Taiyi is just a matter of time, right?"

And as the Demon Emperor Taiyi split soul grew.

"This Taiyi split soul avatar of mine has at least reached the Seventh Stage level."

He directly took out various Spirit Herbs cultivated for one thousand to two thousand years to use as the required exchange.

So this time, Su Ping was not afraid of any risk of exposure.

"There is gain only with sacrifice; if we don't pay with the sect's heart's blood, how can we exchange for the Hope Island of the sect's further progress?"

"Elders, rest assured; if the Spirit Herbs obtained this time ultimately do more harm than good, I, the Sect Master, will bear all the consequences!"

"Even if it means stepping down from the position of Sect Master and going to the Earth Palace to suffer punishment for a thousand years, that is fine."

The old Sect Master spoke with sonorous force, even deliberately using sound transmission to let this last part spread throughout the entire mountain gate.

Countless disciples felt moved and admired their old Sect Master's courage.

Only the Elders, who knew some of the inside story and had been physically persuaded, knew in their hearts.

Among the Spirit Herbs the old Sect Master wanted to exchange for, there were many that would prolong his own life; those were also the most expensive batch of Spirit Herbs.

The value of the other Spirit Herbs used for the sect's geniuses was merely a fraction of that.

It was just that, facing the old Sect Master who saw a life-saving straw as his end approached, none of the Elders were ultimately willing to truly argue with the Sect Master for the sake of the sect's interests not being damaged.

In a Small Thousand World, there was a Demon Sect that was shouted at and beaten by the major powers of this world, just like a rat.

A young sect master who had just inherited the position of sect master and only felt that the road ahead was bleak.

After learning the news about the Xuanling World, he remained silent for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, then gritted his teeth and used his sect master authority to retrieve the Nine Yang Spirit Pearl, the Supreme Treasure of the Demon Sect, from a Cave Heaven Secret Realm hidden in a lake somewhere.

He intended to use this item to exchange for Spirit Herbs, so as to cultivate the Apocalyptic Heavenly Demon Art, which was the most demanding yet most powerful technique recorded in the Demon Sect.

Although he was taking the Supreme Treasure of the Demon Sect.

This young sect master did not encounter any obstacles.

There was no help for it; in the last great war, the older generation of the Demon Sect in this Small World was almost completely wiped out.

Those who survived were only a few remnant souls, lingering in the Secret Realm to stay alive.

No one could stop the young sect master's decision.

Such things were happening everywhere in the North King Time Domain.

This also made Su Ping discover that he had still underestimated the appeal of Millennium Spirit Herbs, and underestimated the foundation of the North King Time Domain.

After all, this was a Shikong Haiyu that had experienced who knows how many tens of thousands of years.

Although Small Worlds and Medium Worlds were constantly being extinguished, Small Worlds and Medium Worlds were also constantly being born, providing a steady stream of rare treasures.

Under such accumulation over time.

There were always some lucky sects or even families that could preserve some good things throughout the long river of time.

Individually, a Small World or Medium World might not have much, but looking at the entire Shikong Haiyu, the absolute number was clearly very considerable.

For this reason, Su Ping decided to cultivate Teresa in advance.

With both Golden Cores and Sun Fish, he forced Teresa to the late Nascent Soul realm by pulling on the seedlings to help them grow.

And then he cultivated high-quality Millennium Spirit Herbs together with her.

Thereby ensuring that the Xuanling World could consume all the Yang-attribute rare treasures delivered to its door in the future period.

After rushing to cultivate a batch of Spirit Herbs, Su Ping left Teresa to continue working hard to cultivate Spirit Herbs.

He himself returned to the Cultivation World.

In the North King Time Domain, in a Medium World under the jurisdiction of the Xuanqing Sect.

This was a Medium World that had already grown into something like a miniature version of a Star system.

Along with flashes appearing in the edge space.

Oval-shaped, earth-yellow Immortal Boats arrived here from the outside world.

And then, accompanied by the Immortal Boat Fleet, they continued forward and arrived above a huge Bronze Disk.

Green light emerged from the Bronze Disk, carefully scanning this Immortal Boat Fleet.

Several elders of the Immortal Boat Fleet frowned slightly.

An important guest even revealed a trace of an impatient expression.

"Why is it so slow?"

On one Immortal Boat, a distinguished guest from the Dao Alliance frowned and questioned.

In just those ten or so breaths of time, he had already been scanned three times!

Although his cultivation was only at the Golden Core stage, and he was only an Inner Sect Disciple of a small sect.

But he was from the Dao Alliance after all; whenever he went to other places, had he not received courteous treatment?

"Please calm your anger; this is actually a requirement put forward by the experts of the Dao Alliance."

The female cultivator responsible for receiving this Cultivator hurriedly approached to console him.

"Our Xuanqing Sect naturally has to comply."

"A requirement from the experts of the Dao Alliance?"

The Cultivator fell silent upon hearing this.

At this time, other guests also nodded in agreement:

"Actually, it is not just the Xuanqing Sect; any Medium World with a bit of foundation, as long as they have the capability, will set up similar Array Disks."

Speaking of this, that guest revealed a trace of fear and said:

"You all must have heard of the Dark Catastrophe, right?"

"In fact, the Abyss mentioned in even more ancient legends has also appeared."

"You all know the Demon Alliance, right? My master quietly told me that at least three Medium Worlds of the Demon Alliance encountered an Abyss invasion and had to implore the Heavenly Demon to take action to let their own Medium World be extinguished!"

As soon as this voice fell, someone nearby added:

"Why have I heard that the Demon Alliance lost at least five Medium Worlds! Even that rebel is related to the Abyss."

Although the guests in the Immortal Boat had some small disagreements because of the different information they had received.

Fortunately, they no longer questioned the scanning and inspection of the Bronze Array Disk.

And on a small planet-like object covered with Arrays next to the Array Disk.

An Inner Sect Disciple of the Xuanqing Sect responsible for observing the scanning results noticed a Nascent Soul Spirit Beast in the Immortal Boat that had transformed into human form.

"Is this a Spirit Snake that has transformed?"

"The aura is strange; it doesn't look like the Demon Clan of the Demon Alliance."

"It also doesn't look like those wild demons."

"Yet it seems to carry some kind of special protective treasure on its body."

"This..."

The Inner Sect Disciple was just puzzled when a True Disciple with higher status and position smiled and said:

"That is a Spirit Beast from the Xuanling World."

"Xuanling World?"

Even for an Inner Sect Disciple, they had heard of this place that had recently become quite famous.

"Hmm, I heard that a master from the Xuanling World likes to raise Spirit Beasts to run errands; mark it down so the people below don't be blind and offend the other party."

The True Disciple remembered the Elder's instructions and thus gave a grave reminder to the Inner Sect Disciple.

Although they had not witnessed it personally, as a large amount of intelligence was collected, the Mysterious Force behind the Xuanling World possessed a status not inferior to the Three Great Alliances.

When dealing with visitors from such a force, one should naturally treat them with courtesy if possible.

And that humanoid Spirit Beast transformed from a spirit snake.

Was one of the many contracted Spirit Beasts sent out by Su Ping.

Having entered and exited the Pot Heaven, it was sent over to act as a humanoid teleportation point.

The spirit snake's original name had been given as She Ershiyi by the lazy Su Ping.

Now that it was on an external assignment, because its true form was a Green Snake, it was given the name Xiaoqing.

At this moment, Xiaoqing, sitting in the main hall, could also feel that it was being closely observed.

Xiaoqing did not care; it also carried quite a few trump cards for self-preservation on this trip.

It had even been granted permission to summon Su Ping's Primordial Spirit Avatar to save its life in an emergency.

After about another stick of incense worth of time, the green light from the Bronze Array Disk gradually stopped emerging.

This Immortal Boat Fleet had finally completed its inspection and was allowed to enter the inner circle of the Great World.

Xiaoqing also immediately discovered that the tea and snacks served to its table had suddenly been upgraded by a grade.

Furthermore, there was now a cute female Cultivator by its side to serve it.

This made Xiaoqing feel smug, and after quickly finishing the complimentary tea and snacks, it walked out of the Immortal Boat onto the deck and looked at the Sun in the Great World.

Compared to the stars in a real star system.

The Sun of this Great World was just a miniature version that existed to satisfy a geocentric model.

Together with other large and small planets, it continuously orbited the continent at the center, repeating sunrise and sunset.

Xiaoqing knew that was the goal of this trip.

Just as the Milky Way is also a river, how could the Sun of the Great World not be a sun?

Of course, whether it could actually provide a blessing to Demon Emperor Taiyi would only be known after trying.

So after Su Ping pondered for a while, he decided to find a force that was not part of the Three Great Alliances but still possessed a Great World.

Then let Demon Emperor Taiyi go over and test it out.

This was also the biggest reason why Xiaoqing had come.

Of course, just in case, Su Ping would not expose the relationship between Demon Emperor Taiyi and the Salvation Lineage.

So Xiaoqing, after following the Immortal Boat Fleet and arriving on the continent named the Xuanqing Realm.

Earnestly inspected the many industries of the Xuanqing Realm, used Spirit Herbs, and adopted quite a few talented young Spirit Beasts.

It acted harmless to humans and animals, and no Cultivator felt that a Nascent Soul Spirit Beast that looked like it was raised in a greenhouse could do anything bad.

Accompanied by Su Ping exerting his power from his side.

A soul fragment of Demon Emperor Taiyi made its debut in the North King Time Domain of the Cultivation World.

At that moment.

Xiaoqing, who was in an ordinary Market, looked up in surprise along with the Cultivators from the Xuanqing Sect who were hosting it.

They looked at the vast phenomenon appearing in the sky.

The entire Xuanqing Realm, regardless of whether it was day or night at this very moment.

Instantly turned into an incomparably bright daylight.

A crimson great sun rose into the sky, radiating scorching sunlight.

Furthermore, beside the great sun, four smaller suns also emerged.

Forming a scene of Nine Suns in the Sky.

The entire Great World was resonating with heaven and earth.

The entire North King Time Domain.

Wherever there was a projection of a sun, the corresponding phenomenon of Nine Suns in the Sky also emerged.

In an instant, it shocked all races!
