"Nine Star Sea?" Jiang Yao looked at the quest list. "The Giant Axe Secret Realm is a bit far away, isn't it?"

Although they can choose mission worlds located outside the Four Great Secret Realms of the Virtual Universe Company, most Core Layer universe-level members tend to choose missions in the Four Great Secret Realms because the journey takes a long time.

Bajie quickly replied, "But it's the most suitable task for you at this stage."

Jiang Yao continued flipping through the detailed introduction to the Nine Star Sea.

"Nine Star Sea, a unique world born from the Giant Axe Secret Realm, is a vast ocean, extremely ancient, even surpassing the oldest Universe Country of humankind."

"The Nine Star Sea comprises nine continents: God Star Island, Li Star Island, Meteor Star Island, Yuan Star Island, Yu Star Island, Blood Star Island, Heng Star Island, Dust Star Island, and Illusion Star Island, with God Star Island at its center and the other eight continents surrounding it."

"Long ago, a race was born in the Nine Star Sea, the Luoxiao Race. After the Giant Axe Coliseum occupied the Giant Axe Secret Realm (originally the Star Sea Secret Realm), the Luoxiao Race became a subordinate race of the Human Race, and for countless eons, they have been regarded by many as part of the Human Race."

"The special products of the Nine Star Sea are Glittering Star Stone and Holy Star Stone, treasures nurtured within the Nine Star Sea. They are as dazzling as stars. Ferocious beasts in the sea can evolve into Star Beast by consuming Glittering Star Stone or Holy Star Stone, possessing strength at the Domain Lord level or even the World Lord Level."

"By fusing with the Glittering Star Stone or the Holy Star Stone, the Luoxiao Race or other humans can gain the strength of Domain Lord or even World Lord Level."

Jiang Yao was somewhat surprised. "Is it that exaggerated? Fusing with the Glittering Star Stone or the Holy Star Stone can immediately grant one the strength of Domain Lord or even World Lord Level?"

Nine Star Sea Cultivation Mission:

Obtain 10 Glittering Star Stone; success will earn you 10,000 points.

2. Obtain one Holy Star Stone. Success will grant you 100,000 points. (Note: 99% of those who accept the Nine Star Sea quest will complete the first quest.)

There are only three ways to obtain Glittering Star Stone or Holy Star Stone.

The first step is to wait for the star stone to be formed. Once the star stone is born, it will be claimed as one's own. However, the process of star stone formation is extremely long, and they are all hidden deep in the Nine Star Sea. To happen to encounter a newly formed star stone is like finding a needle in a haystack.

The second method is to kill Star Beast. Killing Domain Lord- level Star Beast will grant you Glittering Star Stone, while killing World Lord Level Star Beast will grant you Holy Star Stone. Please note that each Star Beast that has fused with Holy Star Stone is at least comparable to World Lord Level Seven, or even stronger.

The third is to seize the Star Stone from the Luoxiao Race. The Luoxiao Race possesses many Inheritance Secret Techniques, and their strength after fusing with the Holy Star Stone is far greater than that of the Sacred Star Beast.

"No wonder it's so difficult to obtain points for Holy Star Stone. Killing Star Beast of the World Lord Level Seven level is simply not something a normal universe-level genius can do. And the Luoxiao Race, who possess Holy Star Stone, are even stronger than Sacred Star Beast."

Bajie laughed, "Isn't this the perfect task for you? If you can unleash the <Suishen Secret Code> or the first level of the <Star God Six Transformations> Path of the Beast God, you can unleash the strength of a seventh or eighth-level Realm Lord."

Once Jiang Yao has mastered the first level of either the "Suishen Secret Code" or the "Star God Six Transformations," his Path of the Beast God will likely reach the level of the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge, enough to allow him, a ninth-tier cosmic-level Jiang Yao, to unleash combat power comparable to a seventh or eighth- World Lord Level.

"My understanding of the Path of the Beast God hasn't reached the level of the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge yet," Jiang Yao shook his head first, then nodded and said, "However, I can let Bizhang Split Soul take control of my body, which is enough to hunt down Star Beast with the strength of a seventh or eighth-level World Lord."

A single Holy Star Stone is worth 100,000 points, making it an absolute path to wealth for Jiang Yao.

He's really poor right now. Even if Heavenly Bridge, the tenfold reward he gets is just points. Adding those points he already has, his total is just over 2.03 million.

This is already quite a fortune for other geniuses, mainly due to the tenfold points reward for the Heavenly Bridge in Chaos City within 30 years. This opportunity won't come again.

But what he wants is far more expensive than these points.

First is the secret manual of the Thunder Beast God Path, <Blood Hong>, which consists of six volumes, and even the first volume requires 5 million points.

Now that the Desolate God Chiling has been conceived, it can naturally cultivate the Lightning-Time Fusion Law.

Jiang Yao had no way of asking the Chaos City Lord or Youyuan Venerable for it.

Since he became the true disciple of the Chaos City Lord, the Chaos City Lord bestowed upon him the complete set of the <Guiyi Secret Canon> and <Youyuan True Interpretation>, as well as the <Suishen Secret Code> and the first three volumes of the <Star God Six Transformations>, which are secret manuals for Fusion Law.

They have all the high-level secret manuals needed for both the Space-Time Law and the two Path of the Beast God of Fire-Space, and Light-Time.

If he were to ask the Chaos City Lord the secret manual of the Lightning-Time Fusion Law, <Blood Hong>, for no apparent reason, the Chaos City Lord might want to dissect him.

Of course, it's not impossible to comprehend the secret manual of the Thunder Beast God Path. Chiling is just like Bizhang, and can instinctively control the Fusion Law. He can analyze himself, but the speed will be much slower.

Jiang Yao himself couldn't rely on instinct to unleash the Path of the Beast God; he had to analyze it thoroughly first.

In addition, there is the cultivation of the "Zhenhuang Sacred Body". The "Zhenhuang Sacred Body" is similar to Luo Feng's <World Body> and <Beast God Transformation>. He is currently at the second level with four times the Body Amplitude. To cultivate to the third level with eight times the Body Amplitude, he needs many precious treasures.

His teacher, Marquis Huanqiong Kasolo, only reached the third level of eight times Body Amplitude, and that was only after he had acquired a lot of treasures by chance.

The main material needed to cultivate the third level of the "Zhenhuang Sacred Body," called "Fragrant Dragon Crystal," is worth 3.1 million points.

In addition, there is the Fourth Layer "Eye of Zhenhuang" with a 16x Soul Amplitude. To quickly achieve this, you also need a Soul Treasure "Samu Worm Soul Silk," which is even more terrifyingly valuable at 7.5 million points.

Without precious materials, the "Eye of Zhenhuang" can be slowly upgraded to the Fourth Layer, but conservatively speaking, it would take several hundred years.

Without investing a great deal of material resources, it would be impossible to cultivate the "Zhenhuang Sacred Body" to the third level.

Besides the two ultimate techniques in the Zhenhuang Inheritance, the Crimson Thunder Grass seeds in his possession also require resource investment.

The most suitable treasure for cultivating Crimson Thunder Grass, and the one that ensures the highest success rate, is the Kui Dragon Jade.

Kui Dragon Jade is a specialty of the Jueting Secret Realm. Humans obtain very little Kui Dragon Jade, and a single piece is priced at 85 points in the treasure vault.

If the purchase quantity exceeds 1000, the unit price will double.

Mei Kui Dragon Jade is enough to cultivate the Crimson Thunder Grass to the Peak World Lord, which would require 1.7 million points.

He can afford it.

"If you want to get more points, the Nine Star Sea is really a good choice."

The points reward from the Immortal Altar is too meager. The Illusion Sea can earn points, but you need to clear at least the 16th floor to get points that will be of any use to him.

Although he was free from the burdens of Earth, Jiang Yao still didn't want to increase his own hatred towards the Alien Race for the time being.

"Hehe, keep reading, there's another bonus task coming up," Bajie reminded him.

Jiang Yao continued reading.

Additional task: Undergo the Sacred Altar Baptism. Success will grant 1 million points. (Note: The Heavenly Star Sacred Altar opens once every 8,000 years. If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait another 8,000 years. The number of spots for cosmic-level geniuses to undergo baptism is limited. To compete for a spot, you will need to compete with other cosmic-level geniuses from the five major powers, as well as Sky Dome Realm geniuses from the Luoxiao Race.)

The Heavenly Star Sacred Altar, which the Luoxiao Race opens once every 8,000 years in the Nine Star Sea, will reopen in 90 years. Luoxiao Race Star Realm (Stellar Level) geniuses will differentiate their bloodlines in the Heavenly Star Sacred Altar.

"Differentiate bloodlines?"

The Luoxiao Race are born at the Initial Birth Realm (Planetary Level) and reach the Star Realm upon adulthood. Every 8,000 years, the Luoxiao Race's Pantheon will select Star Realm geniuses to go to the Heavenly Star Sacred Altar to differentiate their bloodlines.

Although the Luoxiao Race is a race subordinate to humans, like the Monster Race, bloodline is extremely important and can almost determine everything.

However, the bloodlines of the Luoxiao Race are not differentiated from birth; rather, they must undergo the baptism of the Heavenly Star Sacred Altar to differentiate into different bloodlines.

The Luoxiao Race clan is divided into ordinary bloodlines, Elite Bloodline, Royal Bloodline, and the highest Imperial Bloodline.

Elite Bloodline is also called lord bloodline. Once Elite Bloodline is differentiated, it means that one can definitely reach the Lord Realm (Domain Lord level). With cultivation, one may also hope to reach the Saint Realm (World Lord Level).

Royal Bloodline means one is guaranteed to reach the Saint Realm (World Lord Level) and will be a reserve for the Luoxiao Race's gods.

The highest-ranking legendary bloodline, namely the Imperial Bloodline, has a very high probability of becoming a god in the future, and will also be given special attention by the Pantheon of the Luoxiao Race.

Besides the Luoxiao Race's Star Realm (Stellar Level) geniuses who can undergo bloodline differentiation at the Heavenly Star Sacred Altar, the Luoxiao Race's Sky Dome Realm (Cosmic Level) geniuses and human Cosmic Level geniuses from outside the world may also receive Sacred Altar Baptism.

Of course, the Sacred Altar Baptism received by the Luoxiao Race and the cosmic geniuses of the outside world has nothing to do with the differentiation of bloodlines, but rather it can strengthen the body, strengthen the soul, and enhance the compatibility with the Origin Law.

Bajie said, "Doesn't your Chiling Split Soul need a body? The Luoxiao Race is perfect for it. The Luoxiao Race is quite talented in the Law of Lightning, and they can also undergo the Sacred Altar Baptism, which may differentiate them into royal or Imperial Bloodline. They are definitely the most suitable choice for the body of the Desolate God Chiling."

Jiang Yao and Bajie discussed which clone to create.

He now possesses the divided Bizhang Split Soul and Chiling Split Soul. As long as he uses the secret method recorded in the Xu Yuan Space to possess a body, he can essentially become an independent clone, communicating with Jiang Yao's human body consciousness no matter how far apart they are.

Ultimately, the two decided to create Chiling clone.

The main reason is that the Chaos City Lord has already seen Jiang Yao reveal Bizhang's "original form." If he wants to see him again in the future, once he transforms Bizhang into a clone, Jiang Yao's human body will no longer be able to transform into Bizhang's form.

Furthermore, Jiang Yao's human physical strength is actually the weakest at this stage. His transformation into Bizhang is also a trump card. In a real emergency, using Bizhang's two original divine abilities, "Rainbow Fire Fusion" and "Retracing to Heaven," might be enough to save his life in front of Immortal God.

"To possess a young genius of the Luoxiao Race and become Chiling clone, thereby collecting Holy Star Stone, is indeed a suitable way to kill two birds with one stone."

Jiang Yao no longer hesitated, and then browsed the treasure vault. "Then let's buy 10,000 Kui Dragon Jade first to cultivate the Crimson Thunder Grass. We'll put aside the materials needed for cultivating the 'Zhenhuang Sacred Body' and 'Eye of Zhenhuang' for now."
