Chapter 1408: Star Emperor Inheritance (Second update, requesting everything)

Even after ten thousand years, the remains of the ancient Star Emperor have not decayed; on the surface, he looks as if he is merely sleeping.

This is the nature of an Emperor; even if they fall for thousands or tens of thousands of years, their remains can maintain their original state. This is mainly related to the Immortal Substance, which allows the remains of an Emperor to endure for ten thousand years without rotting.

Li Zhangsheng took a look at the remains, then immediately cast his gaze upon the chaos-colored Sun Moon Star Chart.

The Sun Moon Star Chart radiated ten thousand rays of light and a thousand streaks of auspicious color; outside the chart, Great Dao prophecies circled, while inside, Heavenly Dao talismans appeared faintly. It was infinitely creative and profoundly mysterious.

Once activated, the starlight would illuminate the mountains and rivers, move the heavens and earth, change the colors of the sun and moon, and nine-colored auspicious energy would awe the entire universe.

Sun Moon Star Chart: Supreme Langhuan Treasure, the Dao-Achieving Item of the Star Emperor. It possesses the power to pacify the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, the ability to convert Star Power, and the capacity to encompass all things. Every year, it generates one portion of Star Essence.

As the Star Emperor's Dao-Achieving Item, the Sun Moon Star Chart is undeniably powerful, and it even possesses an Artifact Spirit, so even without Li Zhangsheng presiding over it, the Artifact Spirit can do the work.

Furthermore, the Star Essence created by the Sun Moon Star Chart is a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of the same tier as Heaven Origin and Hell Origin.

Unfortunately, Star Essence has a shelf life; after a long time, it dissipates into Star Essence. Thus, all the Star Essence produced over these years was integrated into the Sun Moon Star Chart by the Artifact Spirit, bit by bit increasing the quality of the Sun Moon Star Chart.

Consequently, after ten thousand years, the Sun Moon Star Chart, which was originally at the Superior Langhuan Supreme Treasure level, was forcibly elevated to a Supreme Langhuan Treasure.

Following the River Chart and Luo Script, Li Zhangsheng had obtained his second Supreme Langhuan Treasure.

Spending a quarter of an hour, Li Zhangsheng initially refined the Sun Moon Star Chart and then stored it in his Consciousness Sea to nourish it.

Only then did Li Zhangsheng cast his gaze back upon the Star Emperor's remains.

He did not lower his guard; after all, he had arrived here by force, and who knew if the Star Emperor had made backup plans? In short, it was best not to be careless.

The ancient Star Emperor's remains had a majestic expression, wore the Zhou Tian Star Robe, and his eyes were slightly open, calmly gazing forward. A phantom of the Sun appeared in his left eye, a phantom of the Moon in his right, and there was a mysterious purple mark on his forehead.

His left hand held an Inheritance Jade Slip, while his right hand held a purple Star Banner, embroidered with an imperial crown; this was naturally the Ziwei Star Banner.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, the Ziwei Star Banner had actually reached the level of a Low Grade World Wonder. This was somewhat unexpected, because in the inheritance of the Sun Star Lord, the Ziwei Star Banner was clearly only at the Zifu Qizhen level.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng understood the reason: it was because the Artifact Spirit of the Sun Moon Star Chart had often taken the time to nourish the Ziwei Star Banner over the years, which allowed the Ziwei Star Banner to make further progress. This was another unexpected joy.

As for the Sun Moon Star Robe worn by the Star Emperor, it was only a Low Grade World Wonder; its function was likely merely a symbol of status.

This made Li Zhangsheng heave a sigh of relief. After all, the Sun Moon Star Robe had been worn by the Star Emperor's remains for ten thousand years; the dead should be respected, and Li Zhangsheng could not very well strip it off him. Its low grade meant he didn't have to covet it.

For Li Zhangsheng, he no longer had eyes for Strange Treasures at the Low Grade World Wonder level.

Li Zhangsheng observed for a while and even used several special techniques in succession to confirm that the Star Emperor had not left any traps on the remains. This was not because the Star Emperor was magnanimous, but likely because he was too confident in the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array.

After confirming there were no hidden measures, Li Zhangsheng reached out and beckoned; the Ziwei Star Banner, the Inheritance Jade Slip, and the Space Ring worn on the Star Emperor's right hand all flew toward Li Zhangsheng.

He first easily refined the Ziwei Star Banner, then immediately began to examine the Inheritance Jade Slip.

As expected, the Jade Slip contained the Star Emperor's inheritance.

A massive amount of memories and knowledge surged into Li Zhangsheng's mind, making his head feel swollen and painful.

Although the Star Emperor had not lived for nearly ten thousand years like the Human Emperor, he had lived for five thousand years. Even after stripping away irrelevant memories, it was still a very large value.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, if someone who was not a King-rank were to accept the Star Emperor's inheritance, there would be a risk of their head exploding.

After a long while, Li Zhangsheng shook his swollen head and quickly reviewed the Star Emperor's inheritance in a very rough manner.

The Star Emperor achieved his Dao after the Three Clans War. When the Heavenly Court appeared back then, he and the Heavenly Emperor forcefully seized the Heavenly Court, took control of the Star Palace, and became the second-in-command of the Heavenly Court.

From the inheritance, the Star Emperor had two Emperor-rank Demon Pets, whose strength was roughly similar to the Blood Emperor, ranking third among the nine Emperors of that time.

The Star Emperor was very much a homebody; staying indoors was his norm. He would often go into seclusion for decades or centuries and did not manage the affairs of the Star Palace much, almost entirely handing the large and small matters of the Star Palace to the high-ranking Star Lords under him. He was completely a hands-off manager, which was not unrelated to the Star Emperor's fall.

By the time of the Heaven and Earth Hegemony, the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array that the Star Emperor had comprehended shone brilliantly in the early stages, not only severely wounding the Profound Emperor but also killing an Emperor from the Profound Emperor's camp.

At that time, the Heavenly Court could be said to have held an overwhelming advantage.

Unfortunately, good times did not last. When the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array was used once more, more than a dozen Star Lords led by Wenqu Xingjun and Tiquan Xingjun rebelled, directly causing the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array to be broken. The caught-off-guard Star Emperor was severely wounded by the Profound Emperor and the Profound Empress, his soul nearly dissipating.

In the end, before he died, the Star Emperor returned to the Star Palace, sealed the Ziwei Palace, and after making some arrangements, left behind his inheritance and fell.

As for what happened later, it could be seen from the historical outcome: following the Star Emperor's fall, the Heavenly Court, which had originally held the advantage, fell into a disadvantage, eventually leading the Heavenly Emperor to pay a huge price to forcibly seal the Heavenly Court.

As for the Profound Empress and the Profound Emperor, they did not fare any better; they suffered heavy losses in the Heaven and Earth Hegemony and ultimately did not survive the next round of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

It can be said that after the Three Clans War, there were no winners in the Heaven and Earth Hegemony either.

Of course, this was only a general summary; there were many details Li Zhangsheng had not looked at.

Apart from the Star Emperor's personal experiences, the remaining half consisted of various types of categorized knowledge.

The Star Emperor was indeed worthy of being a research fanatic; his knowledge was exceptionally rich, especially in the Dao of Arrays. His understanding and innovations in the Dao of Arrays particularly gave Li Zhangsheng a sudden enlightenment; he was truly worthy of the title of the number one person in the Dao of Arrays.

Of course, his other knowledge was also quite rich. After all, the Star Emperor was the second-in-command of the Heavenly Court and had browsed through all the various books collected by the Heavenly Court, including Demon Taming Arts, Secret Techniques, methods, and so on. This greatly enriched his knowledge and provided a solid foundation for creating the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array at the time.

It must be said that after leaving his inheritance, the Star Emperor casually threw the inheritance token into the lower realms. As long as someone with excellent comprehension obtained the token, it would be activated.

As a result, so many years had passed, and this inheritance token was still gathering dust, sitting in some unknown corner; in short, no fated person had been found.

After a very rough look, Li Zhangsheng prepared to look at it again after returning, and began to examine the Space Ring.
