Emperor Daoyan's Legacy

The Sea of Star Rivers is said to be formed when an Ancient Great Emperor condensed countless star rivers and brought them to the Star Sea of the Eternal Star Domain.

The Sea of Star Rivers holds a very high status in the Eternal Star Domain. The Older Generation cannot enter; only those who have stepped into the Forbidden Domain are allowed.

Some also heard that there are things left behind by Emperor Daoyan inside. In any case, no one has been able to enter and see for themselves to this day.

Xu Changqing spent a long time gathering information about this place. Before he rose to prominence, he was always exploring secret realms and obtained many good things, which is why he is so fond of such places.

He didn't dare to contend for things related to Great Emperors before, but now, he dared.

Ahead, a dreamlike ocean undulated, sending out ripples of starlight. Various dreamlike colors intertwined. The surroundings were pitch black, with only this ocean shimmering.

The Star Sea is located at the very edge of the Eternal Star Domain. Moreover, after the beings of the Eternal World learned of the conditions for entry, there were not many people here.

Xu Changqing stood on the beach of the Star Sea. Every grain of sand emitted a brilliant glow. As far as the eye could see, starlight filled the view, beautiful and magnificent.

He squatted down and reached out to touch the surface of the sea. Instantly, he realized it was densely covered with runes. Various golden runes and laws of order intertwined.

However, he did not feel the vast and majestic aura of an Ancient Great Emperor, the aura of a Great Emperor.

So he guessed that this was not the relic left by a Great Emperor as rumored.

"Let's go in and take a look," Xu Changqing murmured to himself. He stood up and looked at the boundless Star Sea, like an ocean formed by the condensation of countless star languages.

The sea breeze blew through his white hair. His face was expressionless. He took a step, treading on the calm Star Sea, and walked step by step towards the depths.

During his walk, he saw silver threads interwoven beneath his feet, supporting his Entire Person.

After walking for a while, he discovered a huge stone pillar ahead. The stone pillar stood in the center of the Star Sea, shrouded in dreamlike misty light.

There were also golden ancient characters on the stone pillar.

Xu Changqing looked at the giant stone pillar ahead. Dense rune light flowed on it, and a wondrous aura rushed towards him. It was only upon arriving here that he could feel a trace of an Emperor's aura.

The vast and boundless Star Sea, the dreamlike journey, the tiny white-haired figure, and the pillar soaring into the outer domain formed a stark contrast.

"Daoyan."

"Zhan Kong."

"Dao Yi."

"Fen Tian."

"Lin Qianyu."

"Qi Di."

Xu Changqing saw those ancient characters. Those golden ancient characters were the Text of the Great Dao. People from every era could understand the meaning of these characters.

The pillar was densely covered with ancient text, so it was inscribed with names.

The stone pillar also stated that it was a stone tablet for testing successors, but rather than a stone tablet, it was more like a giant heavenly pillar.

"What kind of place is this, that even Emperor Daoyan has been here?" Xu Changqing was a bit bewildered. He saw Dao Yi's name, and he had also ascended this list.

Even Lin Qianyu was among them.

He walked over and reached out to touch the stone pillar.

Hum!

A humming sound rang out, followed by a burst of silver light, scattering a large amount of silver radiance from the stone pillar, enveloping him.

Xu Changqing discovered that a lot of information appeared in his mind.

This stone pillar was left by a Quasi-Emperor. It was unknown from which era. At that time, Emperor Daoyan had not yet risen, and had come here in his youth to obtain a legacy.

This stone pillar also symbolized the trial grounds for the strongest young generation in the Eternal Star Domain. Anyone who ascended it could enter the legacy grounds left by a Quasi-Emperor expert.

Those who chose to embark on the Ancient Trial Path would come to this place to test how much of a gap there was between themselves and the experts of yesteryear.

But the gap was imaginable. The name Emperor Daoyan left here in his youth had never been surpassed.

After returning from the ancient path, these people would choose to leave legacies or some items within.

It was not impossible for Emperor Daoyan to have left something within, it was just unknown what it would be.

The silver radiance enveloped Xu Changqing, making him understand what this place was for.

Originally, it was left by that Quasi-Emperor expert for his successor, but it was mistakenly believed by everyone to be the final trial before stepping onto the Starry Sky Ancient Road. As long as one's name was on the list and they stepped onto the Starry Sky Ancient Road, they would be a powerful figure.

"Use your strongest divine ability to strike the stone pillar, leave your name on the list, and then enter a certain passage to continue the trial. There are a total of four trial checkpoints."

"Emperor Daoyan left something, but you must surpass his strength."

Xu Changqing pondered for a moment, removed his hand from the stone pillar, and quietly looked at the giant stone pillar before him.

After taking a few steps back, he took out his bone knife.

"Surpassing Emperor Daoyan is nothing. He isn't strong," Xu Changqing's eyes revealed a cold light. The young Emperor Daoyan was not too strong for him.

Compared to the Undying Heavenly Emperor or the Fighting Saint Emperor, Emperor Daoyan was still very weak.

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Changqing suddenly unleashed his strongest combat power. White mist erupted from within him, permeating the dreamlike star sea. A clear light pierced through the domain from his Crown of the Head, illuminating the sky.

In the bright, mirror-like Sea of Bitterness, white mist began to overflow from below, dyeing the calm Sea of Bitterness white, releasing pure Life Essence.

The potential light within his body converged, and his five viscera and six bowels emitted different lights. These lights merged, transforming into the Nine-Colored Divine Light.

Above the Sea of Bitterness, there was a Transparent Long Saber.

This was precisely Xu Changqing's profound technique, used to counter the Jie Zi Secret.

Draw Saber Slash Heavenly Art!

The Transparent Long Saber had appeared the day he possessed Saber Intent, and after severing emotions, it transformed into this.

At this moment, Xu Changqing mobilized the Saber Intent he had nurtured for hundreds of years.

Outside his body, Xu Changqing's physical form continued to emit white mist. All the Great Dao Laws here were suppressed by him.

His glabella split open, and the tip of a Transparent Long Saber slowly emerged, then merged with the bone saber in his hand.

Finally, the bone saber was enveloped by light. When it reappeared, it had a scabbard, which was black.

"Boom!"

Behind him, the Emperor's Fall Phenomenon of a Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood appeared. A white-haired man knelt on the mountain of corpses, with fallen great emperors and broken weapons in front of him.

Emperor's Fall Phenomenon!

Xu Changqing's aura grew stronger and stronger, vaguely on the verge of breaking through to Saint. His physical body erupted with brilliant firelight, and endless runes appeared on him.

All the Spiritual Energy in the world was absorbed by him. The illusory Sea of Stars material beneath his feet was drawn in, transforming into a reversed river of stars above his head.

"Heaven's Will!"

Xu Changqing murmured. The aura of heavenly tribulation spread from him. Countless Transparent Long Sabers appeared above his head, finally merging together before disappearing into the bone saber.

The combination of the two profound techniques caused the entire Sea of Stars to tremble, and the massive stone pillar emitted even more Blazing Radiance.

"Boom!"

Xu Changqing's entire person erupted with a powerful fluctuation. As the profound technique was unleashed, his strength instantly entered the Divine Prohibition realm.

The changes here also caught the attention of some members of the Younger Generation who were preparing to test their combat strength.

They saw a white-haired figure erupting with terrifying fluctuations, feeling a suffocating pressure even from a distance.

The white-haired figure was burning, Flames incinerating the starry sky. Comets fell from the heavens, and the entire dark sky was covered by white firelight, an extremely spectacular sight.

Finally, the members of the Younger Generation who came for the trial saw the white-haired figure charge straight into the high heavens, quickly surpassing Emperor Daoyan's name.

Above Emperor Daoyan, he forcefully slashed out with his saber.

"Chirp!"

The world instantly turned a vast expanse of white, accompanied by a clang and the aftermath of an energy collision. The entire Sea of Stars churned with monstrous waves, crashing against the Giant Stone Pillars.

"Ah... my eyes!" The hidden powerhouses were instantly blinded by the white light.

Blood flowed from their eyes.

"Boom!"

The energy tide spread out, and endless blade intent, like a vast ocean, swept across the Star Sea. Saints closer to Xu Changqing were directly blown away and cut into pieces by the Ruthless Blade intent.

The moment Xu Changqing touched the stone pillar, many people nearby noticed. Xu Changqing naturally noticed them too, but he paid them no mind.

For him, it was more important to get the good stuff first.

Besides, there might be something left behind by Emperor Daoyan, or a Cultivation Technique Inheritance.

He didn't have any Great Emperor secret arts yet.
