Chapter 258: The Big Dipper Spreads Across the Heavens

After returning to the magnificent Ancestral Land world of the Holy War Heavenly Ape Clan.

Ye Wuque did not alarm anyone; his form turned into a streak of flowing light and went straight back to his secluded cave dwelling.

He waved his hand to lay down layers of seals, isolating the inside from the outside; he sat cross‑legged on a mat, his eyes deep, bearing a hint of uncontainable anticipation.

At a flick of thought, two items appeared before him.

One was the Divine Universe Crystal he had obtained from Long Ao Tian, its hue of Chaos, containing stellar swirls, emitting an ancient, profound vibration.

The other was the mysterious, enigmatic Seven-Star Dao Refinement Box that had accompanied him for a long time.

On the rustic surface of the box, the Big Dipper pattern showed the first six stars already lit, while the final trembling‑light star remained dim, now directing a scorching, clear pulling force toward the Divine Universe Crystal.

"Finally... this moment has arrived."

Ye Wuque no longer hesitated; he carefully placed the Divine Universe Crystal onto the Seven-Star Dao Refinement Box, aligning it with the last dim star diagram.

Buzz—!

The instant the Divine Universe Crystal touched the box's surface, it was like a water droplet falling into boiling oil, and the entire Seven-Star Dao Refinement Box jolted violently!

An invisible suction burst from the dim trembling‑light star, and the indestructible Divine Universe Crystal, brimming with mighty Dao rhythm, began to soften and melt at a visible speed, turning into strands of pure Chaos‑colored qi that were greedily devoured and absorbed by the trembling‑light star.

The whole process lasted about the time a incense stick burns.

When the final strand of Chaos qi was completely swallowed, the originally dim trembling‑light star first flickered a faint glow, then—

Boom!!!

Like a volcano suppressed for eons suddenly erupting, the last star diagram on the Seven-Star Dao Refinement Box burst forth with unprecedented dazzling light!

The blaze of that light instantly illuminated the entire cave dwelling as if it were daylight, even piercing the layers of seals Ye Wuque had laid, causing the void outside the cave to ripple faintly!

It seemed like a signal!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Almost at the very instant the trembling‑light star was lit.

The other six already‑lit stars—Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang—seemed summoned by the most primordial call, resonating together and unleashing equally splendid stellar brilliance!

The seven stars reflected each other, their lights linking, instantly across the surface of the Seven-Star Dao Refinement Box.

They outlined a complete, perfect, noble and mysteriously ancient... Big Dipper pattern!

The seven stars were no longer separate entities; their lights merged into a single radiant pillar that shot skyward!

Though blocked by the cave's seals, the vast, ancient aura it emitted—seeming to originate from the dawn of the universe—could not be completely cut off.

It seeped out in fine threads, causing some ancient stars nearby to tremble.

And at the moment when the Big Dipper pattern on the Seven-Star Dao Refinement Box became fully complete and its light peaked...

In the unseen depths, far above, a supreme dimension beyond time and space, surpassing the Zhutian Wanjie, remained unknowable and immeasurable...

Rumble—!

A vibration of indescribable magnitude and antiquity surged suddenly!

At first it was barely perceptible.

But in an instant, the vibration was like a massive stone dropped into a calm lake, its ripples turning into towering waves.

It spread at a speed surpassing light and thought, racing toward every corner of the Zhutian Wanjie!

Countless sleeping ancient entities were awakened, countless cultivators on the path to enlightenment looked up in astonishment, and countless ordinary beings felt something in their hearts, instinctively gazing toward the heavens!

Immediately thereafter, at the pinnacle of the Zhutian Huanyu, the supreme place symbolizing the source of law and order...

A single star spark lit up first!

Then the second, the third...

Under countless stunned gazes, seven vast, towering ancient stars—seemingly forged from endless Tiandao rules—slowly yet resolutely rose from the depths of void!

They arranged in a ladle shape, linking heaven and earth, stabilizing the cosmos!

Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, Trembling‑Light!

Big Dipper!

Radiant, sacred, vast, ancient divine brilliance, like seven lamps lighting the endless night, instantly dispelled the gloom in many places of the Zhutian Wanjie, showering endless light and Dao rhythm!

The light was not blinding, yet it carried a majesty and mystery that struck straight to the soul, causing all living beings to instinctively feel awe.

"Heavens! What... what is that?!"

"Stars? No! What kind of stars are these? Why does my soul tremble?"

"Big Dipper! It's the Big Dipper! The ancient legend... is real! They truly manifested!"

"Spreading across the heavens, illuminating the realms! The Big Dipper, spread across the sky!"

Zhutian Wanjie, countless star domains, countless continents, countless secret realms...

Any place where one can look up at the starry sky now erupts in a roar and boiling excitement!

Whether naive mortals or powerful cultivators, all are shaken by this sudden celestial phenomenon, their faces unable to remain calm.
