"I made a huge haul this time!"
Su Ming was in high spirits. Not only had he obtained a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and a vast amount of treasures for free, but he had also managed to acquire the divine technique, True Sun Fire.
He put away his smile and turned his gaze toward the ultimate goal of this journey.
That towering tree rooted in the core of the Sun Star, so immense that it defied imagination.
The Fusang Tree!
Its entire trunk was crimson-gold, as though cast from divine metal. Its crown blotted out the sky and sun, and every leaf burned with blazing golden flames.
The majestic aura of life intertwined with the power of the Sun Origin, forming a perfect cycle.
It was the root of the Sun Star, the heart of this ancient star.
Su Ming could sense that if he dared to uproot this tree, the entire Sun Star would collapse in an instant and turn into cosmic dust.
"What a pity. I can't take the whole thing away."
Su Ming shook his head. Though he felt a little regretful, he had never intended to do that in the first place.
His target was merely a section of branch, which he would use to complete his Five Elements True Body.
He extended his right hand, bringing his five fingers together like a blade, and lightly sliced toward a branch as thick as a mountain range.
There was no earth-shaking sound, nor any ripple of colliding magical power.
That branch of the Fusang Tree, which contained endless solar essence, silently broke apart, as though cut by the sharpest blade.
The cut was smooth as a mirror, without the slightest leak of flame or Origin power.
Su Ming stood in the core of the Sun Star, sensing the newly born "little sun" deep within his spirit soul.
A strand of golden flame danced at his fingertip, and even the void was scorched into a slight distortion.
So this was the Origin power of True Sun Fire?
Unlike the domineering, outwardly unleashed flames of Di Jun and Tai Yi, the Origin of True Sun Fire within his body was more restrained and purer, as though it contained the ultimate profundity of the Great Dao of supreme yang between Heaven and Earth.
With a single thought, it could burn the firmament to ashes.
With a single thought withdrawn, all flames would submit.
"Netherworld Ghost Fire governs the slaughter of souls, while True Sun Fire governs the incineration of all things. One yin and one yang..." Su Ming muttered, a glint flashing through his eyes.
If he fused these two ultimate flames, what terrifying power would be born?
A bold conjecture had vaguely taken shape in his heart. The embryonic form of a secret art powerful enough to shake the entire Primordial Wilderness was slowly taking shape in his sea of consciousness.
But this still wasn't enough.
A lone yang could not give birth to life, and an isolated yin could not flourish.
If he wanted this secret art to reach true perfection, he was still missing the final—and most crucial—link: the Taiyin Origin!
There was nothing left worth lingering over on the Sun Star. His gaze pierced through the endless void and landed on the star far opposite the Sun Star, radiating a cold and lonely aura.
The Moon Star!
At that thought, he took one step forward, and his figure instantly vanished from the core of the Sun Star.
The stars shifted, and the endless starry sky rapidly fell behind beneath his feet.
The Moon Star, a supreme celestial body in the Primordial World as renowned as the Sun Star, represented the ultimate of yin and cold.
The closer he got, the more a bone-deep chill rushed toward him, powerful enough to freeze the immortal body of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal and extinguish their primordial spirit.
But how formidable was Su Ming's physical body? The Heart of Pangu thudded powerfully in his chest, his blood and qi surging like a dragon, easily keeping the chill at bay.
He flew straight toward the depths of the Moon Star's core.
Unlike the violent core of the Sun Star, the core of the Moon Star was filled with an extreme tranquility and coolness.
The dense Taiyin power had condensed into visible silver moonlight, like ribbons drifting slowly through the air.
At the center of this silver world stood a divine tree too immense to describe, its roots embedded in the void.
Its trunk was silver-white, as though carved from the purest moonlight. Its branches and leaves were luxuriant, and each leaf bore natural osmanthus patterns, emanating a refreshing fragrance.
It was none other than one of the Ten Innate Spiritual Roots—the Moon Laurel Tree!
This tree had transformed from the Origin of the Moon Star and suppressed the Destiny/Luck of the entire star.
Beneath the enormous Moon Laurel Tree, a palace radiating a hazy, pure light appeared and disappeared indistinctly.
Above the palace, three ancient Dao characters shone brilliantly.
Guanghan Palace!
"So that's how it is." Su Ming understood.
He had long heard that two innate divine maidens had been born on the Moon Star. They had formed from the fusion of the essence of the Moon Laurel Tree and the Taiyin Origin, and were born as the masters of the Moon Star.
Presumably, Guanghan Palace was their cultivation abode.
If he wanted to take the Origin of the Moon Laurel Tree today, he would inevitably have to deal with these two Taiyin Goddesses.
He did not choose to force his way in. Instead, he stopped before Guanghan Palace and spoke in a clear voice.
"Su Ming, Great Venerable of the Primordial Wilderness's Wu Clan, has come to pay a visit to the master of the Moon Star!"
His voice was not loud, but it contained an unquestionable majesty. It pierced through layer upon layer of moonlight and rang clearly within Guanghan Palace.
Within Guanghan Palace.
Two women of peerless beauty and ethereal bearing sat facing each other, savoring immortal wine condensed from moonlight.
One wore palace robes and possessed a dignified, noble air. A trace of coldness and majesty rested between her brows. She was Xi He.
The other appeared livelier and more spirited, her bright eyes filled with curiosity. She was Chang Xi.
Su Ming's voice rang out, causing the atmosphere within the palace to freeze instantly.
"The Wu Clan?"
Chang Xi blinked and looked curiously at her elder sister. "Isn't the Wu Clan only in the Primordial World? They don't cultivate primordial spirits and only refine their physical bodies, so how could someone reach the core of our Moon Star?"
Xi He's brows also drew together slightly, and a solemn look flashed through her eyes.
"The Wu Clan? A Great Venerable?" she repeated softly, unfamiliar with the title.
She had heard of the Twelve Ancestral Magi. They had formed from Pangu Essence Blood, and every one of them was a Quasi-Saint powerhouse with an extremely formidable physical body.
But what kind of title was this "Great Venerable"? It could actually rank above the Ancestral Magi?
Most importantly, the other party had arrived here without making a sound. Such strength absolutely could not be underestimated.
"Sister, what should we do? Should we meet him?" Chang Xi asked.
Xi He pondered for a moment before slowly rising to her feet. "A guest is a guest. Besides, we cannot neglect etiquette toward someone capable of reaching this place. We'll know once we go out and take a look."
As soon as she finished speaking, the doors of Guanghan Palace opened silently.
Xi He and Chang Xi walked out side by side, their cool gazes immediately landing on the tall, straight figure before the palace.
With a single glance, both women's hearts trembled at the same time!
The man before them wore black clothes and had black hair. His face was so handsome that he seemed unlike any mortal being, yet there was not the slightest fluctuation of magical power around him!
In a place like the core of the Moon Star, even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal had to circulate their magical power and struggle to endure it.
How could he stand there unharmed?
They exhausted their Divine Senses to investigate him, yet Su Ming's body felt like a bottomless black hole, or like a chaos separated by endless spacetime—profound and unfathomable, completely impossible to see through!
Just who was this man?!
