Chapter 1409: Great Dao Crystal (First update, requesting everything)

Before leaving, Li Zhangsheng still had a few things to do.

Looking at the remains of the Star Emperor before him, Li Zhangsheng did not take them away; for an Emperor whose body had not decayed for ten thousand years, there was absolutely no thought of being laid to rest, and he did not even want to be buried.

Just like those families that once possessed Emperors, their ancestors would often be moved into the family ancestral hall after falling, without even needing to erect a statue.

It was a strange behavior, but at the level of an Emperor, such behavior became quite ordinary.

Additionally, Li Zhangsheng also had plans to scheme.

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment, placed an empty Space Ring on the finger of the Star Emperor's remains, and then took out a blank Jade Slip and a replica Star Banner to place in the left and right hands of the remains.

Not only that, Li Zhangsheng also restored and activated the damaged Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array on the ninth step.

The Star Emperor Inheritance naturally contained the detailed layout of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array.

Compared to the Hunyuan Heluo Forbidden Array, the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array was much more powerful, but the difficulty of setting it up was even greater; even with 365 Star Banners, it could not be completed in an instant.

Unless there were 364 Star Lords assisting, it could only be completed in an instant, which was how the Star Emperor did it back then.

Due to the lack of the Sun Moon Star Chart for suppression, and the fact that no one was sitting in command, the power of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array on the ninth step dropped by a grade.

Even so, it would not be easy for an ordinary Emperor to break in; they would certainly be in a sorry state, and might even suffer some damage.

Li Zhangsheng looked at the eight steps below and felt it would be best to restore all these Forbidden Arrays, otherwise, it would always seem a bit abrupt.

Compared to the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array, the difficulty of repairing the remaining eight Forbidden Arrays was more than a grade lower, and Li Zhangsheng completed the repairs without spending much time.

Li Zhangsheng began to erase the traces in the Ziwei Palace; with the assistance of the Great Deduction Technique, he was not afraid of being discovered.

After leaving the Ziwei Palace, Li Zhangsheng's consciousness entered the Star Emperor's Space Ring.

The Space Ring had no Soul Imprint, not because the Star Emperor had erased it, but because after ten thousand years, the Soul Imprint in the Space Ring had long since dissipated, and there was no need to spend energy to dissolve it.

It must be said that the space in this Space Ring was exceptionally large; it was worthy of being the Space Ring carried by the Star Emperor, with an area several times that of Li Zhangsheng's.

Among them, only about half the area was piled with various treasures.

Li Zhangsheng did not check these treasures for the time being, and according to the Star Emperor's inheritance, he instantly found what he was looking for.

This was a palm-sized token; the front had a Star Palace pattern, and the back had a large "Emperor" character. While representing his identity, it was also the control hub for the entire Star Palace.

The token could not only control the Restrictions of each Star Hall, but also possessed a powerful teleportation mechanism, which could ignore spatial barriers and teleport at will to any Star Hall, somewhat similar to the so-called Flying Thunder God Technique, except that these Star Halls were fixed objects.

Likewise, the token could instantly return 365 Star Lords to their respective Star Halls.

Besides this, there was a spare Star Banner in each Star Hall, so even without a Star Lord presiding, the Star Emperor could activate the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array through the token.

This was why when the Star Emperor was severely wounded and fled back to the Star Palace, the Xuan Emperor and the Heavenly Empress had no intention of pursuing him; the main reason was that this place was like an iron bucket, and crucially, they also had to guard against the Heavenly Emperor.

Even if it was just a token, it reached the Zifu Qizhen level. After Li Zhangsheng refined it, with a thought, his figure instantly disappeared.

In an instant, Li Zhangsheng appeared inside a Star Hall.

This was the depths of the Wen Qu Palace, but there was no inheritance of the Wen Qu Xingjun here, only a Wen Qu Star Banner.

In that great battle back then, most of the Star Lords fell directly, and only a very few escaped back to the Star Palace; these were basically the Star Emperor's loyalists.

After the Star Emperor fell, naturally some Star Lords wanted to scheme for the Star Emperor Inheritance, but the Star Emperor had left behind backup measures, giving them no chance at all.

By the time the Heavenly Emperor cut off the connection between heaven and earth, they never had another chance to leave the Star Palace, until they reached the end of their lives.

In the following time, Li Zhangsheng used the token to continuously enter various Star Halls, taking away the spare Star Banners one by one, and occasionally encountering Star Lord inheritances, which were naturally taken away by him in one go.

After spending some time, Li Zhangsheng finally collected 365 Star Banners. Most of these Star Banners reached the Low Grade World Wonder level, a few were Mid-grade World Wonder level, and only a few, such as Wen Qu and Wu Qu, reached the Zifu Qizhen level.

This set of spare Star Banners, who knows how many Heavenly Court resources it consumed; it could not be measured by value at all.

With a set of Star Banners, plus the ability to set up the Zhou Tian Star Dou Forbidden Array, unless several Emperors or Emperor Ranks besieged him, Li Zhangsheng could be said to be in an invincible position.

As for the Star Lord inheritances, there were only 5 in total, and they were all Star Lords ranked in the lower-middle tier.

Before leaving the Star Palace, Li Zhangsheng activated the token again. The 365 Star Halls established a connection with their respective Ancient Stars, and pillars of starlight fell, which were quickly absorbed and stored by the Star Palace.

Not only that, each Star Hall was wrapped in powerful Restrictions, stronger than when Li Zhangsheng first entered.

Among them, it naturally included early-warning Restrictions.

Once someone entered the Star Palace, Li Zhangsheng would receive a warning.

It could be said that Li Zhangsheng had set up the entire Star Palace as a trap, just waiting to see who would jump in. As for when to open the Star Palace to the outside world, Li Zhangsheng planned to wait until the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum opened.

By that time, he believed the Star Palace would draw away some of the Stronger.

As for whether the Star Palace would be damaged by then, Li Zhangsheng did not take it too much to heart; with the Star Emperor Inheritance, as long as there were enough resources, even if the Star Palace was destroyed, it could be rebuilt.

In a flash, Li Zhangsheng left the Star Palace and returned to the lower realm.

Immediately, Li Zhangsheng carefully checked the Star Emperor's Space Ring.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng found a deep blue crystal. This crystal faintly radiated the aura of the Great Dao, and crucially, it did not have a single trace of impurity.

Great Dao Crystal!

Li Zhangsheng did not expect that the Star Emperor, who only had two Emperor Rank Demon Pets, actually had a Water Great Dao Crystal in his hands.

The Star Emperor actually did not use it, which was strange.

Li Zhangsheng hurriedly checked the relevant memories and soon learned the reason.

At that time, not long after the Star Emperor obtained this Water Great Dao Crystal, his main Demon Pets happened to lack a Water Element Demon Emperor level Demon Pet, so he prepared to wait until he found an excellent Water Element Demon Pet to use it. As a result, this wait lasted until the Heaven and Earth Hegemony, and in the end, it was a free gain for Li Zhangsheng.

"I wonder if there is a Nine-Turn Golden Pill?"

Li Zhangsheng was still a bit unsatisfied, but unfortunately, there was no Nine-Turn Golden Pill in the ring.

Judging from the Star Emperor's inheritance, the Nine-Turn Golden Pill was too difficult to refine, and the materials were even harder to find. The entire Heavenly Court only successfully refined one furnace in total, which was divided among the Heavenly Emperor, Star Emperor, Heavenly Empress, and other Stronger of that time.

Among them, the Heavenly Emperor received the most, while the other Stronger only had one each, and the Nine-Turn Golden Pill the Star Emperor received had long since been used by him.
