Invitation and Refusal
After hearing Liang Ji's suggestion, Yang Yun ultimately gave up on the idea of cultivating one or two Star Palace Inheritances alongside her main path.
She and Qi Changge had both already found their own paths. They only needed to apply to the Star Alliance for enough Light of Creation, then they could enter seclusion and accelerate their cultivation, advancing to Seventh-Tier Star Lords sooner.
There was no need to risk failure and backlash by cultivating different Star Palace Inheritances on the side.
As Liang Ji had said, advancing to Seventh-Tier Star Lord was the key. In the Star Alliance, only high-tier Star Lords counted as true members of the upper ranks.
As for combat strength, they could address that in other ways after advancing to Seventh-Tier Star Lord.
For example, they could master powerful high-tier star arts, have Void Refiners arrange special stars and grand arrays across star systems, or refine powerful immortal artifacts.
They did not have to take the path of combining different Star Palace Inheritances.
Qi Changge and Yang Yun took custody of the two Demon Cultivators Liang Ji had captured, then looked at him and said,
"Although we know it probably won't work, we still want to extend an invitation to you on behalf of the Security Department, junior. Would you be interested in continuing to serve in the Security Department?"
"Thank you, senior brother and senior sister, for thinking so highly of me." Liang Ji smiled and thanked them both, then said, "But right now, what I most want to do is explore the Outer Domain Star Sea, search for suitable stars and resources, and complete the Void Refining cultivation of the star system containing my Natal Star."
"As for which department I'll join, let's leave that for the future."
