Chapter 386

In the endless void where the present world connects to the Star River Battlefield, in a place invisible to all, a tall building reaching from heaven to earth stands there.

Countless starlight rays, like tentacles, reach out in all directions.

Yet, countless starlight rays also return from all directions, seemingly probing every change.

This is the main building of the Star-Plucking Tower, unknown to the world.

The top floor of the Star-Plucking Tower, built by the Pole Dao Emperor himself back in the day to suppress this world.

The roof of this main Star-Plucking Tower building, while called the top floor, is more like the dome of the starry firmament; countless bright or dim starlight rays flicker and flow here, signaling the myriad changes of this world.

The changes in this world are numerous, with countless shifts occurring between breaths, making the dome of the Star-Plucking Tower's starry firmament look like twinkling stars, truly magnificent.

Suddenly, in the southern direction of the starry dome, a star seems to be lit up, quickly standing out from among the stars.

Within just a few breaths, its brightness instantly becomes extraordinary.

The moment this star's brightness became extraordinary, it brought with it a significant increase in the brightness of the vast expanse of stars in the south of the entire starry dome.

Originally, the eastern stars were the brightest in this starry firmament.

But as that star was completely lit up, the brightest star region above the starry firmament of this world instantly became the south.

And the moment this star brightened was precisely when the leader of the Worship Battle Divine Sect broke through to the Ninth Tier.

Also because of this extreme change in brightness, the entire main Star-Plucking Tower building shook slightly.

Within the vast star sea, an aura was awakened by the shaking of the main Star-Plucking Tower building; in an instant, a point of brilliance crossed the star river and arrived above the starry firmament of this world.

"An anomaly in the main Star-Plucking Tower building?

A star has been completely lit up?

Has a junior broken through to the Ninth Tier?

This is quite fast."

Within this point of starlight, the calm voice carried a hint of surprise; it was none other than the creator of the main Star-Plucking Tower building, the Pole Dao Emperor.

Although he had long since left this world, because of the main Star-Plucking Tower building, he could still perceive the occurrence of some major events within this world.

But when he connected to the main Star-Plucking Tower building to examine the information in detail, the starlight trembled instantly.

It was not his successor!

Among his successors, the one with the hope of breaking through to the Ninth Tier had still not lit up a star.

This person who broke through to the Ninth Tier was actually not his successor?

Could it be one of those two's?

After thinking for a moment, the Pole Dao Emperor flicked two points of starlight, which instantly fled into the star sea.

Where he was, the starlight shifted, turning into a magnificent palace; he sat on a meditation cushion in the hall, but remained a hazy shadow of starlight, and faintly, only a horsetail whisk could be seen.

In the heavens, there is no sun or moon, and time shifts.

Perhaps it was a snap of the fingers, perhaps it was several days, when suddenly, two rays of starlight sprang up from the star river, falling one after another into this hall transformed by starlight.

The Pole Dao Emperor waved his horsetail whisk, which counted as paying his respects to these two.

"This poor Daoist congratulates you both." The Pole Dao Emperor said suddenly as he saw the two take their seats.

"What is there to congratulate?"

The newly seated Xuan Cheng Emperor and Hua Qing Emperor were both startled, somewhat puzzled.

"A few days ago, the Dao-suppressing artifact I left in this world had an anomaly; a star rose into the sky, like the moon hanging in the void. This poor Daoist sensed it slightly and discovered that someone had broken through to the Ninth Tier, initially condensing a Life Star, which set off a wave of destiny.

Yet none of my successors have broken through.

That naturally means it is a successor of you two, so I came specifically to congratulate you." The Pole Dao Emperor said.

"This..."

Upon hearing this, the Xuan Cheng Emperor and Hua Qing Emperor simultaneously activated their respective secret techniques to sense it. After a few breaths, both opened their eyes; the moment they opened them, ten thousand rays of starlight appeared in their pupils, but they shook their heads simultaneously.

In an instant, the Pole Dao Emperor was somewhat surprised, "It is not my successor, nor is it a successor of you two, yet the Life Star is like the moon hanging in the void."

Waving his horsetail whisk, the Pole Dao Emperor projected the scene of the starry firmament of the main Star-Plucking Tower building before the two.

The several Emperors looked at each other in dismay.

A Life Star had indeed condensed and risen into the sky, but it was not a successor disciple from any of their three houses.

"Pole Dao, this world is the foundation of your Dao attainment; you know it best! If it is not a successor disciple of our three parties, who else could condense a Life Star like the moon hanging in the void?" The Hua Qing Emperor asked.

The Pole Dao Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "You should be aware of this world; it is extremely complex and has great origins and roots. Otherwise, you two would not have laid out plans for thousands of years to gamble with me like this."

The Xuan Cheng Emperor and Hua Qing Emperor nodded simultaneously.

"And because of this, the lineages in this world capable of achieving a Life Star are not limited to our three houses!

It is just that achieving a Life Star now is fine, it is just like the moon hanging in the void.

If it is allowed to go one step further, like the great sun patrolling the sky, then our three parties' struggle for thousands of years will have ultimately been for nothing, would we not be laughed at by fellow Daoists?" The Pole Dao Emperor said.

"Indeed! It is just that I did not expect this successor to be so unaspiring! Nine times out of ten, they have taken the small path of fighting for power and profit, forgetting that the Great Dao is simple." The Hua Qing Emperor said.

"After finally opening the mountain gate, they are a bunch of good-for-nothings! If this world were not special, I would not even want to pay attention to it." The Xuan Cheng Emperor said.

Upon hearing this, the Pole Dao Emperor swept his horsetail whisk but did not speak.

"Pole Dao, what do you intend to do?" After a long while, the Xuan Cheng Emperor asked suddenly.

"This place is the foundation of my Dao attainment, so naturally, I cannot let it be for someone else's benefit. It is just that I had an agreement with you beforehand, which is why I invited you two over.

I am prepared to guide them a little." The Pole Dao Emperor said.

"How to guide?"

The Hua Qing Emperor frowned, "We are people who have already jumped out of the middle world and cannot re-enter the world to guide; we are heavily restricted. Even if we were to issue an edict, it would be limited by the Great Dao of heaven and earth; we can only place our pieces from afar."

"Pole Dao, this world is the foundation of your Dao attainment; surely you must have a way." The Xuan Cheng Emperor said.

Upon hearing this, the Pole Dao Emperor did not decline, "Indeed. Before I attained the Dao and left this world, I left behind a main Star-Plucking Tower building to help future generations suppress this realm. Within this main Star-Plucking Tower building, there is a Star Spirit, which counts as an artifact spirit.

It is just that when I left, I feared this artifact spirit would become the master, so there are many restrictions.

Previously, I observed this realm and discovered that my lineage here has split into several branches, each serving its own master. I imagine the lineages of you two are the same.

Although it is difficult for us to command and direct them, it is possible to guide and help them a little through the Star Spirit." The Pole Dao Emperor said.

"How to guide and help?" The Hua Qing Emperor asked.

"Previously, I sensed that the true intent of the Divine Dao had fallen into this realm, which is how this Ninth Tier who suddenly appeared achieved it and condensed a Life Star.

Currently, this method is not feasible.

But now, since someone has paved the way for us, it shows that this method is feasible.

Then we can also descend the true intent of the Divine Dao to help those with affinity achieve the Ninth Tier and condense a Life Star.

At the very least, we can compete with this foreign-lineage Life Star, so it does not have the appearance of the great sun patrolling the sky and we do not lose this realm." The Pole Dao Emperor said.

Once these words were spoken, the Xuan Cheng Emperor showed a look of hesitation, "However, the Law must not be taught lightly!"

"Moreover, if we descend this true intent of the Divine Dao, how can we ensure it falls into the hands of our respective successors?" The Hua Qing Emperor hesitated and said.

In fact, he was just afraid that the Pole Dao Emperor would play tricks.

Because the ultimate distributor would be the Pole Dao Emperor, while they were only the providers. "I know the concerns of you two fellow Daoists, and I know even better that the Law must not be taught lightly, otherwise it will only be held in contempt."

The Pole Dao Emperor waved his horsetail whisk, "I intend to lift the restrictions on the Star Spirit and hand this matter over to the Star Spirit to guide. You two can also inject your divine sense to monitor the Star Spirit's actions.

As for the method.

As the Life Star hangs in the void like the moon, the many secrets previously sealed in this world will naturally be unsealed one by one.

We will inject the true intent of the Divine Dao, and the Star Spirit will guide all parties to participate.

Those with opportunity and great ability can obtain the true intent of the Divine Dao.

This also carries the meaning that the Law is not taught lightly.

It should even more resemble the scene of a Great Age of Contention.

What do you two fellow Daoists think?"

The Xuan Cheng Emperor and Hua Qing Emperor looked at each other, then asked again, "For this Star Spirit of yours, we only have monitoring authority?"

"Not only that, you can set the rules of conduct for the Star Spirit together with me!" The Pole Dao Emperor said.

"If so, then this matter should be done!

We must not let the foreign star become like the great sun patrolling the sky in the future; would we not have been working for nothing?" The Xuan Cheng Emperor said.

"I also agree, but when setting the rules, they must not be too simple.

The Law must not be taught lightly; if taught lightly, it becomes cheap!"

"That is natural."

"Then let us begin."

"Good, you two fellow Daoists must provide the true intent of the Divine Dao, as well as a wisp of divine sense, and inject them into the main Star-Plucking Tower building along with your ten percent authority." The Pole Dao Emperor said.

At once, a vast and magnificent aura rose up.

When his divine sense completely contacted and locked onto the fragment inside the statue of the True God of Star Battle, Xu Jin's surprise was indescribable.

He understood it completely and his doubts were resolved.

Xu Jin had actually been curious all along: why could the statue of the True God of Star Battle both absorb and store massive amounts of star power, and also attract and store massive amounts of divine soul power?

Xu Jin had even studied the two statues of the True God of Star Battle he had personally shattered.

He wanted to see what mystery lay within the statue of the True God of Star Battle!

But whether it was the statue on Autumn Leaf Island or the one in the Guards Huo Yun Star Region, especially the one in the Guards Huo Yun Region, they were purely clay and wood.

The building materials were as ordinary as could be.

This time in the Lanshan Star Region, Xu Jin had intended to capture the Star Official Deng Ruiyang alive and then ask about the mystery of the statue of the True God of Star Battle.

It could also be considered preparation for a certain idea he had for the future.

He didn't expect this guy's combat awareness to be so poor, super fragile, and he was killed directly.

Leaving Xu Jin with no way to further interrogate him about the construction method of the statue.

But at this moment, when Xu Jin's divine sense probed inside the statue, into the fragment emitting a vast and magnificent aura, everything was understood.

Being able to store star power and divine soul power had absolutely nothing to do with the statue; the root cause was entirely this mysterious white fragment.

Xu Jin's divine sense entered at this moment, and he instantly sensed massive amounts of star power and divine soul power within this white fragment.

Moreover, there was also a divine soul imprint within this white fragment.

Without hesitation, Xu Jin blasted it with a 'Break Evil'.

One strike didn't shatter it.

Xu Jin then blasted five 'Break Evil' strikes in a row, shattering the divine soul imprint, and the massive divine soul thought power instantly surged in, beginning to refine it just like refining a star artifact.

Inside the cave heaven of the Worship Battle Divine Sect, the Five Directions Tianyang Zhenjun, who had just begun to cultivate, suddenly trembled and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The next instant, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

After spitting five mouthfuls in a row, his aura finally stabilized.

"Sect Leader, the divine soul imprint within the divine bone fragment in the Lanshan Star Region has been shattered. I imagine it will be refined by someone immediately." The Five Directions Tianyang Zhenjun, who was in charge of the divine bone fragments, reported back.

"Tianyang Zhenjun, you have suffered. In the future, once the truth is uncovered, if the person behind the scenes is truly the reclusive Tianyang Zhenjun Chai Ce, I will surely strip the bones and shatter the soul of this traitor. If not, I will also surely find the true person behind the scenes and avenge today's grudge."

As he spoke, the Star Battle Divine Seal above the Sect Leader's head pulled a wisp of starlight from within the statue of the True God of Star Battle and injected it into the Five Directions Tianyang Zhenjun's body. In just a few breaths, the Five Directions Tianyang Zhenjun's aura recovered rapidly, and his complexion also became rosy.

And within a ten-thousand-meter radius of the statue of the True God of Star Battle standing in the center of the Divine Sect's cave heaven, thousands of believers were kneeling in the direction of the statue, praying devoutly.

Besides them, massive numbers of alien believers were also kneeling and praying there.

In the Sect Leader's line of sight, countless wisps of power, under the kneeling and praying of these believers, converged into the statue of the True God of Star Battle, forming a sea of power!

This was also the true reliance of his Worship Battle Divine Sect!

Inside the Lanshan Star Region.

Xu Jin spent a full hour before completely refining this mysterious white fragment.

After completely refining it, Xu Jin was shocked once again.

The space inside this white fragment seemed infinite; besides already containing massive amounts of star power and divine soul power, it looked like it could hold even more.

After refining it, as long as Xu Jin willed it, the massive star power and mysterious power inside could be mobilized and poured out.

Currently, Xu Jin could only make this white residual bone release star power, but could not make it absorb star power.

He could sense that large amounts of star power existed in the outside world, but could not draw these star powers into it.

"There should be a special way to inhale or drive the star power, but I don't know it yet."

"It seems that if there is an opportunity, I still need to capture a Star Official alive to try, so I can thoroughly understand the secrets of the Worship Battle Divine Sect. If there is a chance in the future, I can also get a divine soul source to play with."

This white fragment was neither gold nor jade; Xu Jin observed it for a long while and felt it was more like bone.

If it was bone, what kind of existence did it belong to?

To have such supernatural powers?

Xu Jin could take the divine soul thought power inside the white bone fragment slowly, but the star power could be taken right now.

According to the previous plan, Xu Jin began to draw star power from the white bone fragment, rapidly and directly enhancing the eleven star cores in his Lower Star Palace that had not yet reached their peak.

Not even half an hour into his cultivation, hundreds of aliens arrived to kill him.

It was actually the Fire Lei Lingwang who had arrived with the elites of the Fire Spirit clan.

Xu Jin, however, smiled.

Just right, since they delivered themselves to his door, he would solve them conveniently.

Especially the Fire Lei Lingwang; he wondered if he knew the Fire Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern?

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin, having captured the Fire Lei Lingwang, heard that this guy knew the Fire Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern, and that its rank was only Fifth Tier, low grade, and he was happy!

The Fire Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern could be considered to have a lead!

"Condense fifteen strands of Fire Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern inheritance essence blood for me, and I will spare your life!" Xu Jin ordered.
