Chapter 201: Tian Yuan Refines Billions of Stars
With one step, Tian Yuan appeared once again on the Sun Star.
Gazing at the Sun Star before him, where flames reached the heavens, he did not hesitate in the slightest and escaped directly toward its deepest reaches.
Di Jun and Taiyi were the Demon Emperors of the Demon Court and were born on the Sun Star; their disappearance was absolutely related to the Sun Star.
Tian Yuan speculated in his heart that the two might have obtained a great opportunity in the Starry Sky.
Otherwise, the Demon Court's fortune would not have shattered without them making any move at all.
The crimson flames gradually deepened until they turned pale gold, and finally, they were entirely golden Great Sun Golden Flame.
A scorching temperature swept over, but Tian Yuan strolled as if in a leisurely courtyard, sweeping toward the deepest part of the Sun Star.
He did not know how much time had passed, but he could see a glimmer of faint light in the depths, and Tian Yuan's brow furrowed slightly at once.
When he captured Baize and the others last time, his Divine Sense had swept back and forth across the Sun Star, but he had discovered nothing.
Coming here in person this time, he actually discovered something strange in the depths of the Sun Star.
With curiosity on his face, Tian Yuan hurriedly increased his speed, escaping toward that glimmer of faint light.
At the center of the burning golden flames was a circular point, pitch-black and gloomy.
Just by glancing at it, Tian Yuan knew there was another world within.
Without the slightest hesitation, his figure flashed past, and he escaped directly into that circular point.
Inside was another space, dark and sunless, with no end in sight.
"An internal space of the Sun Star?" Tian Yuan muttered, his gaze looking toward the distance.
In this endless, gloomy firmament, he vaguely caught sight of some things.
His figure streaked through the void, and as he drew closer, Tian Yuan discovered it was a massive corpse.
"Remains of a Chaos Demon God?" Upon seeing the appearance of the corpse clearly, Tian Yuan was slightly astonished.
The scene before him was somewhat beyond his expectations.
The Sun Star and Lunar Star were transformed from the eyes of Pangu, yet there were actually Chaos Demon God corpses inside this Sun Star.
Standing in the air, Tian Yuan exhaled softly, and the massive corpse before him instantly turned into powder and dissipated into the air.
This Chaos Demon God corpse had long since lost its energy; it could not even be considered an empty shell.
Tian Yuan did not speak; his figure escaped toward the depths again, and sure enough, he saw several more corpses.
Just like at the beginning, the slightest movement caused each corpse to shatter, turning into powder and disappearing.
The space inside the Sun Star was not as large as Tian Yuan had imagined.
After only a moment, he had searched the surroundings inside and out several times; apart from those corpses that had long lost their energy, there was nothing else.
As for the purpose of this trip, Taiyi and Di Jun, he had not found the slightest trace of them.
"Strange! The Primordial Starry Sky clearly absorbs Chaos energy, so why would it need these Chaos Demon God corpses?" Those remains had all faded away in the air because their energy was exhausted.
And in Tian Yuan's careful investigation, this space likely had many more Chaos Demon God remains earlier. It was only because the energy was lost that they had faded away in the air long ago.
The few he had just seen were only left with a shape because not much time had passed.
Was this a contingency left behind by Pangu, or the work of someone else? Standing in the air, Tian Yuan calmed his mind and began to mobilize the consciousness of Mount Buzhou.
Being inside the Sun Star, the distance was too great, and only a faint will rose up.
Tian Yuan did not mind; at the moment, he was only looking for Di Jun and Taiyi, not suppressing an enemy, so a little bit of will was enough.
From Tian Yuan, who stood in the air, faint Dao Rhyme expanded, and they rippled toward the surroundings like layers of waves.
The will passed through in an instant, brushing over those patches of void, gradually sweeping through the entire space before him.
A look of disappointment appeared on Tian Yuan's face; with the will of Mount Buzhou, he had actually discovered nothing, nor had he sensed the aura of the two Demon Emperors.
Tian Yuan sighed in his heart and was about to withdraw the will of Mount Buzhou when he suddenly raised his head.
The Starry Sky!
Under his Divine Sense, outside the Sun Star, there was a vast Starry Sky shining; those stars, large and small, seemed to have come alive.
They were situated in an orderly fashion, yet they moved through the void along unique trajectories.
What he saw before him was the Primordial Starry Sky, the Primordial Starry Sky as seen through the eyes of the Sun Star.
The moment the will of Mount Buzhou swept across this space, Tian Yuan was temporarily connected to the Sun Star and saw the scene before him.
His gaze swept quickly across that multitude of stars, and an object flashed through Tian Yuan's mind at once.
The Zhou Tian Star Formation; what he saw before him was the true form of the Demon Court's renowned Zhou Tian Star Formation.
"Hoo!" Tian Yuan took a deep breath, a look of joy flashing in his eyes.
Tian Yuan reckoned he had found Di Jun and Taiyi; they were in the Primordial Starry Sky, hidden in the deepest part of that Zhou Tian Star Formation.
The two Demon Emperors had always been in the Primordial Starry Sky; it was just that ordinary people could not perceive it.
The Zhou Tian Star Formation, as one of the Primordial Four Great Innate Formations, was not simply just a scroll of a formation.
With many thoughts turning in his mind, Tian Yuan's figure flashed quickly, instantly plunging into that sky full of starlight.
As soon as his figure fell in, a dense Star Power surged over, surrounding him layer by layer, and even he felt a bit of pressure.
This was only the outer perimeter; as he continued to go deeper, this pressure would only grow stronger and stronger.
If the outermost perimeter of the Zhou Tian Star Formation already had such might, the Primordial World was indeed not simple.
Pangu attained the Great Dao, yet this world only produced a few Heavenly Dao Saints, and later, they even had to use the Great Calamity to clear out the Saints; no one would believe it if there were nothing strange about it.
Feeling the aura radiating from each star, Tian Yuan sighed softly: "This is the true Zhou Tian Star Formation!"
The Starry Sky, like Mount Buzhou, was one of the top-tier great powers of the Primordial World, but Tian Yuan always felt that those stars, including the Sun Star and Lunar Star, lacked a sense of murderous intent.
The billions of stars in the firmament not only absorbed energy from Chaos but also shouldered the responsibility of resisting the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon.
The Primordial World was round heaven and square earth, and the contact area between the firmament and Chaos was far greater than that of the earth.
The many immortal mountains, with Mount Buzhou as the main one, gave people a sense of heaviness, while the billions of stars should contain murderous intent, just like what was before him.
But in the Primordial World, the many stars seen by ordinary people did not have such might.
"Perhaps it has to do with the Heavenly Dao Will being incomplete!" Tian Yuan thought to himself.
The Starry Sky is the place where the Heavenly Dao manifests; because the Heavenly Dao is incomplete, the power of the Starry Sky is severely weakened.
The Heaven Earth and Man Three Daos not only maintain the operation of the entire world but also protect this world. There is erosion from the Chaos Sea, as well as Outer Realm Heavenly Demon from the Chaos.
A faint will rose from his body, and the pressure weighing upon him vanished instantly; Tian Yuan's eyes brightened slightly.
Thanks to the blessing of Mount Buzhou, the Zhou Tian Star Formation treated him as one of its own.
Overjoyed, Tian Yuan hurriedly swept toward the deepest part of the Zhou Tian Star Formation.
There, two great stars floated, which were precisely the Sun Star and the Lunar Star. And between the two great stars, Tian Yuan faintly sensed several weak fluctuations.
After sensing them slightly, it was just as he had thought: they were indeed Di Jun and Taiyi, whom he had been thinking about constantly.
Besides the two of them, there was another unfamiliar aura, emitting thick Lunar Power. Without a doubt, it must be the vanished Fairy Wangshu.
With excitement on his face, Tian Yuan hurriedly accelerated his speed and fled toward the place where the three were meditating.
Protected by the will of Mount Buzhou, and coupled with Tian Yuan's deliberate concealment, he easily arrived at the intersection of the Sun and Lunar powers; Di Jun and the others did not discover his arrival at all.
Perhaps the three of them never expected that someone would appear here.
At this moment, all three were shrouded in thick energy, and the fluctuations on their bodies were rising and falling; they were actually on the verge of a breakthrough.
"I didn't expect these guys to have truly obtained such a great fortune!" Feeling the auras of the three, Tian Yuan felt a little hesitant.
The present moment was naturally the best opportunity to capture Di Jun and Taiyi, but it might also disrupt the three's breakthrough.
After looking up and down at the three who had revealed their original forms, Tian Yuan still gave up the intention to strike.
Because of his contributions, the Primordial World had changed greatly, and Proving the Dao to Hunyuan had become possible, but it was not that simple either.
The opportunity that Di Jun and Taiyi had obtained with such difficulty might not have the possibility of a breakthrough in the future if it were forcibly interrupted.
Capturing Di Jun and Taiyi was for the manifestation of the Sun Star in his Consciousness Space, but the breakthrough of these few could also provide feedback to the Primordial World.
It was true that he wanted to capture the many living beings of the Primordial World, but Tian Yuan also hoped that their strength would increase greatly.
The more Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals born in the Primordial World, the stronger the entire world would become.
Both in terms of reason and sentiment, Tian Yuan had no reason to interrupt their breakthrough.
As for Di Jun and Taiyi becoming uncertain factors after their breakthrough, Tian Yuan did not have much worry.
He had Mount Buzhou, and since the Heavenly Dao was incomplete, most of it was controlled by Hongjun; if Di Jun and Taiyi could not change this, their achievements would ultimately be limited.
Moreover, among those of the same realm, Tian Yuan feared no one.
Withdrawing his gaze, Tian Yuan looked at the Zhou Tian Star Formation before him.
The Zhou Tian Star Formation was so extraordinary; if it could be taken for his own use, he would surely have one more great trump card.
Thinking this in his heart, Tian Yuan fled toward a petite star in the distance.
Tian Yuan used the will of Mount Buzhou to slowly probe into the star before him; he wanted to refine the star before him with his will.
He did not have the background advantages of Di Jun and Taiyi, nor could he communicate with the Heavenly Dao; refining stars one by one was a somewhat clumsy method, but it was the most effective path.
As long as all the stars were refined, wouldn't this Zhou Tian Star Formation be under his control?
Although this project seemed quite huge, Tian Yuan did not care; the one thing the Primordial World did not lack was time.
Moreover, this move might give Tian Yuan a chance to probe the Heavenly Dao Will.
With the Earthly Dao and Humanity reviving, he had always been thinking about the Heavenly Dao, and his frequent searching for Di Jun and Taiyi was also for this reason.
Now that there was an opportunity to directly contact the Heavenly Dao Will, Tian Yuan would certainly not miss it.
The star before him did not resist, and his will easily probed into the Star Core; it was smoother than Tian Yuan had expected.
Mount Buzhou stood tall between heaven and earth and was the Ancestral Vein of the Primordial World, blessing the entire world, but the energy of Mount Buzhou came from the Primordial Starry Sky.
The billions of stars and Mount Buzhou also had a close connection.
His will drilled into the star and began to slowly temper the Star Core.
Time passed slowly, and suddenly the petite star before him trembled slightly, while a faint starlight shone on Tian Yuan's body.
"Whew! It's feasible!" Feeling the faint Star Power surging in his body, Tian Yuan was overjoyed.
He had touched a faint will, as well as a corner of the Zhou Tian Star Formation.
His conjecture was not wrong; refining these stars was completely capable of communicating with the Heavenly Dao Will.
Of course, mastering the Zhou Tian Star Formation was even more of a trivial matter.
Originally, he had only intended to find the two Demon Emperors of the Demon Court, but he had not expected such a heaven-shaking harvest.
Glancing at Di Jun and Taiyi, who were still meditating in the distance, Tian Yuan swept toward the nearest star.
"Eh! The Mount Buzhou will that I can mobilize has increased!" Tian Yuan, who was about to refine a star again, felt his eyes brighten once more.
The Starry Sky before him was just like the Mount Buzhou Consciousness Space; the will was everything.
The fact that the Mount Buzhou will he was currently operating had increased meant that the speed of refining stars would be much faster.
The Primordial Starry Sky had billions of stars; this was not just talk, and the number was only more, not less.
If he tempered them one by one, Tian Yuan did not know when he would be able to finish; after all, those large stars would only require more time.
Every time a star was refined, the Mount Buzhou will he controlled could increase, so the refining speed would only get faster and faster.
With a smile on his face, Tian Yuan hurriedly began to refine the second star.
The two stars were similar in size, and this time Tian Yuan was much faster.
And just as he had thought, after refining the second star, the Mount Buzhou will that Tian Yuan could mobilize increased a little more.
"Haha, a great opportunity, a great opportunity!"
Tian Yuan was ecstatic and immediately threw himself into the refining of the stars.
If he could refine enough stars before Di Jun and Taiyi broke through, then even if the three of them broke through, he could easily suppress them.
On the Primordial land, he could drive Mount Buzhou; in the Starry Sky, he could control billions of stars.
From now on, in the Primordial World, he would truly be an invincible existence.
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is to refine all the hundreds of millions of stars before him, especially the largest Sun Star and Lunar Star.
Given the important positions of those two stars, refining them is absolutely not that simple; perhaps it is not just a matter of time.
In Tian Yuan's view, this place should have originally been left for Di Jun and Taiyi. It is a pity that these two fellows were only thinking about contending for hegemony over the Primordial world early on, and I fear they never properly explored the Primordial Starry Sky.
Tian Yuan guessed in his heart that perhaps because of his existence, or perhaps due to the methods of that person in Purple Heaven Palace, the three of them were able to enter this place.
Without his appearance, Di Jun and Taiyi might very well never have come here.
By not interrupting the three of them as they broke through, Tian Yuan has already been as benevolent and righteous as possible; these hundreds of millions of stars concern the Primordial Dao, and Tian Yuan has no reason to yield them.
If it were a sensible person like Houtu, Tian Yuan naturally would not seize another's opportunity, but Di Jun and Taiyi are different.
These two fellows are too arrogant; if they knew about the affairs of the Demon Court, they would certainly seek trouble for him after Proving the Dao to Hunyuan.
Tian Yuan still felt he was too kind; if it were someone else, they might have already taken action to capture them now, and then slowly refined these hundreds of millions of stars later.
With many thoughts turning in his mind, Tian Yuan's hands were not slow, and another petite star was refined.
Tian Yuan was refining the origins of many stars in the deepest part of the Zhou Tian Star Formation, while in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space, in the originally dark void, besides the slowly manifesting Sun Star and Lunar Star, a few faint stars could be vaguely seen shining.
In that endless void, they appeared and disappeared, making it impossible for one to see them clearly.
Because they were too distant and shallow, no one had discovered them for the time being.
