Chapter 487

Finally, when the stellar origin reached a thousand tribulations, it came to a halt and could not break through any further.

"Huff..."

Xiao Minghuang opened her eyes.

In an instant, an invisible ripple spread out in the void, and wherever it passed, chaos vanished and everything disappeared.

"One thousand two hundred tribulations!"

She muttered to herself, after absorbing the essence of the Dead Star, her cultivation level had reached 7,200 tribulations!

"As expected of a massive Dead Star, its primal power is truly immense!"

A single large Dead Star was worth more than all her centuries of exploration.

"Unfortunately, the origin of the massive Dead Star was too vast for Ruoshui and the others to withstand. Otherwise, if they could receive the system's reward, they would definitely have been able to improve even further."

She felt regretful.

After all, large Dead Star are extremely rare, and who knows when we'll encounter another Dead Star of similar size again.

"Never mind."

"It's time to go back."

Xiao Minghuang and chuckled softly.

During this exploration beyond the realm, her cultivation level increased from four thousand tribulations to seven thousand two hundred tribulations, almost doubling.

Ye Ruoshui and the other four women have also reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Lord realm. As long as they return to the universe, they can break through at any time.

Once Ye Ruoshui and the other four women break through, they will receive a huge amount of compensation.

"With this opportunity, and the compensation rewards I've accumulated, I might just be able to become an Immortal Venerable in one fell swoop!"

Xiao Minghuang pondered to himself.

However, she wasn't very confident about this, since each step forward in the Immortal King realm was much more difficult than the last.

For example, she could sense that now that she was at the 7,200th Tribulation Realm, absorbing the essence of those small and medium-sized Dead Star would be of no use at all.

"Let's go back and talk about it first..."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Xiao Minghuang transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the dark depths of the sky, vanishing without a trace.

I don't know how much time has passed.

A tall, imposing male figure descended upon the scene. Above his head was a mirror the size of a palm, radiating a dazzling silver light that shattered all chaos and nothingness.

It is Wushang, the son of the Wuji Heavenly Venerable!

"Um?"

He frowned. "Late?"

Based on the deductions of the Chaos Wuji Immortal Mirror, he followed the clues all the way here, spending many years, and finally located the whereabouts of the 'Pseudo- Child of the Stars'.

But when he arrived, there was no trace of him.

Wushang formed a hand seal, and the Chaos Wuji Immortal Mirror immediately floated up, displaying an unfamiliar scene on its surface.

It was a starry sky filled with countless stars, magnificent and dazzling. A girl of unparalleled beauty and graceful figure soared among the stars.

She was surrounded by shimmering starlight, even her fair, snow-white skin sparkled with starlight, like a dream, unattainable and ethereal.

"Uh... this imposter is so beautiful..."

Wushang's eyes immediately lit up with amazement as he looked at the girl.

He was the son of the Celestial Venerable, and was sealed within the Immortal Source at birth. He only recently awakened, so while his knowledge wasn't extensive, it wasn't bad either.

Compared to the girl in the mirror, all the so-called celestial beauties in the heavens are nothing but ordinary, common women!

The girl seemed to sense something and slowly turned her head.

Her pupils were pale gold, seemingly able to see through the endless void and perceive everything, reflecting Wushang's appearance in a way that sent chills down one's spine.

Wushang was so frightened that he quickly averted his gaze, muttering under his breath, "Damn, this imposter is actually so terrifying!"

He felt as if he were facing an unparalleled being!

I dared not peek any further.

"This..."

Wushang was initially very confident in killing the 'Pseudo- Child of the Stars', but after observing him, he suddenly felt that he didn't have much of a chance of winning.

"We have to think of a way; we can't just give up like this!"

Wushang gritted his teeth. If he gave up like this, wouldn't he disappoint his sister?

His eyes flickered, and after a moment he murmured, "It seems I can't handle this alone; I'll need to find some help!"

"It seems we still need to return to the Heavenly Realm first..."

The Ziwei Star Domain, the Ziwei Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Palace stands majestically, suspended amidst the clouds thousands of miles away.

This is the core of the entire Ziwei Star Domain.

But at this very moment, the Heavenly Palace was in chaos, with a group of immortals arguing and debating incessantly within the majestic and solemn palace.

"The Fenwang Star Domain has issued an ultimatum, demanding our surrender within three days. What do you all think we should do?"

"Gentlemen, I believe we should unite with the Lifeng Star Domain and other friendly star regions to jointly fight against the Fenwang Star Domain. Then we should contact the Longevity Heavenly Palace and ask the Heavenly Venerable's envoy to mediate!"

"Your plan is good, but now, apart from the Lifeng Star Domain, everyone is avoiding us. Even the previously submissive Weiming Star Domain has driven away our envoy. Weiming Immortal King is just watching from the sidelines. As for the Heavenly Venerable Envoy... to be honest, the Heavenly Palace has never interfered in conflicts between starfields. Moreover, the Fenwang Star Domain is not an ordinary large starfield, but a super-large starfield with an Immortal Venerable in charge. Searching for him is useless."

"Well..."

The atmosphere in the main hall was tense, and a mournful sigh echoed throughout.

The reason is simple.

After the Ziwei Immortal Ziwei Immortal King Ziwei Star Domain was initially as usual, but as time went by, some people with ulterior motives began to covet it.

At first, they were just some overconfident petty thugs, who were easily dealt with.

Later, even some large star regions began to get involved. However, because the Ziwei Star Domain and the Lifeng Star Domain formed an alliance, they were able to gain a foothold, which made these forces somewhat wary.

However, the situation gradually worsened, as someone secretly colluded with the Fenwang Star Domain, wanting to seize the Ziwei Star Domain.

This caused the situation to deteriorate rapidly.

After all, the Fenwang Star Domain is a super-large starfield, founded by a Celestial Venerable, whose history can be traced back to the time when the Heavenly Court was established!

The Fenwang Star Domain possesses a profound foundation and formidable strength, further enhanced by the presence of a Celestial Venerable, making it far superior to emerging forces like the Ziwei Star Domain.

Moreover, the whereabouts of the Ziwei Immortal King are currently unknown, and there is no news of his five Dao Companion either. Rumors are circulating that the Ziwei Immortal King has died in the Outer Deep Space and perished in the void and chaos.

And this is precisely the opportunity for those who are eager to act.

The Ziwei Star Domain was only recently established, and apart from the Ziwei Immortal King himself and his five Dao Companion, there were only a handful of Immortal Lords, who were simply powerless to guard such a vast star domain.

Moreover, the Ziwei Star Domain, which had originally submitted to the Weiming Star Domain, seized the opportunity to establish itself independently and even planned to retaliate, making it even more difficult for the Ziwei Star Domain to continue.

Even with the help of the Lifeng Star Domain, the Fenwang Star Domain's ultimatum left no room for negotiation.

"Gentlemen... I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should."

Suddenly, a young man stepped forward, exuding the cultivation of a Celestial Lord. He was one of the immortals who joined the Celestial Kingdom when the Ziwei Star Domain was founded. He received the blessing of the Ziwei Immortal King and was able to leap into the realm of Celestial Lord.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you perhaps have another brilliant plan?"

"Tell me quickly!"

"Just say it, there's no need to beat around the bush."

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted.

The young man's gaze swept over the crowd, lingering for a moment on Taiwei Immortal Lord, Xuanjin Immortal Lord, and Penglai Immortal Lord. He knew that these three were staunch supporters of Ziwei Immortal King, and what he was about to say might anger them. Therefore, he was prepared to flee if things went wrong.

"Cough cough!"

He cleared his throat and said, "As everyone knows, there's an old saying: 'Even a long shed built over a thousand miles must come to an end.' Our gathering in the Ziwei Star Domain is a matter of fate, but now, due to the prevailing circumstances, we are forced to compromise. To avoid further humiliation, it would be better if you all temporarily went into hiding, gathered your strength, and waited until the Immortal King returned so that we could avenge ourselves!"

What do you fellow Daoists think?

Upon hearing this statement...

The entire room fell silent.

No one present was a fool.

Everyone could tell that the young man's unspoken meaning was...

With disaster looming, let's just break up!

But...

The crowd remained silent for a long time, and still no one answered; the atmosphere was deathly still.

"Those words are a bit hurtful!"

Some people gave a bitter smile, shook their heads, and remained silent.

Taiwei, Xuanjin, and Penglai stood there silently, observing coldly.

They knew that no matter what they said or did, they couldn't change the public's mind.

Before long, someone looked hesitant and quietly turned and left.

Soon.

Of the hundreds of immortals present, more than half had already left.

"We'll take our leave!"

The rest of them bowed and left.

In the end, only about thirty people remained in the hall.

These are truly loyal and devoted individuals who are willing to stand with the Ziwei Star Domain through thick and thin.

Seeing this scene.

Taiwei, Xuanjin, and Penglai all wore expressions of profound sorrow.

"Alas, fellow Daoists, your loyalty to the Immortal King is evident to Heaven, but even if you stay, you will only be waiting to die. You should all disperse!"

"Fellow Daoist Taiwei, what are you saying? We are not the kind of people who are afraid of death!"

"It is better to die on the battlefield than to sit and wait for death!"

"I am not dead, but my soul has returned to the Dao!"

"Millions of years later, when the Celestial Wang Cheng supreme power, he will naturally retrieve my true spirit from the river of time!"

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation.

This gesture deeply moved Taiwei.

"Good!"

He slammed his hand on the table and abruptly stood up.

"Today, I will fight and die on the battlefield with my fellow Daoists!"

Soon.

Three days have passed.

Outside the Ziwei Heavenly Palace.

Taiwei, Xuanjin, Penglai, and more than thirty other immortals stood in a row.
