Qingyu!
The Ninth Ancestor looked at Chen Qingyu and said solemnly:
Taihao Star is the father of the sun and moon in the sky, the ancestor of all the stars in the heavens, and the first star in the legend after the creation of the world!
My Chen Clan is based on the Dao of Stars, and you should already know about the Taihao Star.
Yes.
Chen Qingyu took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and asked:
But wasn't Taihao Star destroyed and shattered long ago, turning into the sun, moon, and stars? How could there still be remnants of it?
The Ninth Ancestor shook his head and said:
I'm not entirely sure about that either.
However, the secret records left by the Saint King Chenliu contain information about the remains of the Taihao Star, which is only a very small part of the original, carrying a trace of the Taihao origin.
Of course, even if only a very small part of Taihao Star remains, it is still unimaginably vast.
The remains of Taihao Star were discovered in ancient times and are now in the hands of the Supreme Star Palace, a super power that dominates the Void Cosmos and traverses the starry Star Sea.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but ask in surprise:
Are there forces operating within the Void Cosmos?
Isn't there only all sorts of stars there?
According to the Ninth Ancestor's description:
The starry Star Sea of stars are similar to a vacuum in space, where normal people could hardly survive, and it's hard to imagine any force could continue to exist there.
You underestimate truly capable people.
The Ninth Ancestor shook his head and said:
As far as I know, there are quite a few forces in the Void Cosmos, and even the weakest force that can establish itself in the Star Sea is many times stronger than my Chen Clan of Changluo.
Most powers can transform barren Earth Star into habitable environments by capturing Earth Star, reversing their magnetic fields, and altering their landmasses.
Even more powerful forces possess the immense power to manipulate celestial bodies, recreate airspace, and establish new worlds, and thus can naturally be passed down within the Void Cosmos.
Chen Qingyu's breath hitched, and he couldn't help but click his tongue:
That's amazing?
The Ninth Ancestor sighed and slowly said:
The battles and struggles within the Void Universe Star Sea are far more terrifying than those in the various Dao Domains; it is a truly chaotic place.
In comparison, the struggles on our Desolate Continent are nothing more than petty squabbles.
In particular, every ten thousand years, an incomparably precious treasure called the Taihao Essence is produced on the remnants of Taihao Star!
The Taihao Essence is formed from the primordial essence of the Taihao Star. For cultivators who practice the Dao of Stars, its effects are unimaginable and unparalleled in the world.
He paused for a moment before speaking in a deep voice:
The map and command token in your hand were issued by the Supreme Star Palace!
Every ten thousand years, super geniuses from all corners of the Star Sea and various Dao domains go to the ruins of Taihao Star to compete for the only remaining Taihao Essence!
For those who cultivate the Dao of Stars, this is the greatest opportunity in the world!
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu glanced at the map and token in his hand, his expression subtly changing:
Hundreds of thousands of years have passed. Does the Supreme Star Palace still exist? What if the map and command tokens have become invalid?
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Ancestor chuckled and said:
You're overthinking it.
The Supreme Star Palace, with a history spanning millions of years, is at its zenith. How could it have fallen into disrepair?
He paused slightly before explaining:
Moreover, this map and command token were, in fact, a reluctant compromise by the Supreme Star Palace.
Even though the Supreme Star Palace dominates the Void Cosmos and is unmatched in the Star Sea, there are still many super powers in the Three Thousand Dao Domains that are no weaker than them.
Although these super powers do not primarily cultivate the Dao of Stars Dao of Stars. By joining forces, they forced the Supreme Star Palace to concede and open up the remains of Taihao Star, no longer daring to monopolize them.
However, the Supreme Star Palace did not want too many people to come into contact with the remains of Taihao Star, so it set up an entry threshold.
They set up a super array around the remains of Taihao Star, altering the rules of space. Only those who possess a star map can find the entrance; and only those who possess a command token can pass through the array's portal.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu suddenly realized and said:
I see.
Um.
The Ninth Ancestor nodded and said:
This map and the token are also extremely precious treasures. They were obtained by the Emperor Venerable by chance and bestowed upon his ancestor, the Saint King Chenliu.
When the Saint King Chenliu was still alive, he forbade anyone to take star charts and command tokens to compete for the Taihao Essence. (Miaomiao said)
Because our Chen Clan's prodigies are too weak, they would only be stepping stones for those super prodigies, handing over their tokens and maps to others for nothing.
Later, after he passed away, the map and the token were lost due to Lineage turmoil.
He paused for a moment, looked at Chen Qingyu, and said with a smile:
Now, among our Chen Clan, you have been born, the strongest prodigy of all time!
And coincidentally, the star map and command tokens that had been lost for hundreds of thousands of years were found by you. It was truly a matter of fate!
You shall represent the Chen Clan and go in search of the Taihao Essence!
Once you seize it, your path to becoming Quasi-Emperor or even Emperor Venerable will be smooth and unobstructed!
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu was deeply moved and smiled slightly:
I'm getting impatient with what our ancestors said.
The thought of being able to fight against the strongest geniuses from the boundless Star Sea and Three Thousand Dao Domains is exhilarating.
On this Desolate Continent, he could no longer find any worthy opponents of the same level.
However, looking across the entire world, in the Three Thousand Dao Domains, there are countless monstrous talents, and perhaps he can find an opponent that satisfies him!
Ha ha
The Ninth Ancestor laughed loudly:
You seem very confident.
However, you shouldn't underestimate other super geniuses. After all, the world is so vast, and no one can predict what kind of extraordinary talents might be lurking within.
Although the strongest contenders in this battle are limited to those at the Heavenly Impulse Realm, you cannot afford to be careless.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's expression shifted, and he asked with some confusion:
The strongest is only at the Heavenly Impulse Realm? Why is that?
The Ninth Ancestor faded, and he explained:
The greatest function of the Taihao Essence is actually to absorb the power of the stars in the heavens to nourish the Divine Treasure!
Therefore, from this perspective, the closer the state of the Divine Treasure is to its original state, the greater the benefits it will receive after being nourished by the Taihao Essence!
The most suitable candidate is naturally a Heavenly Impulse Realm Divine Treasure Seed stage!
History has proven that if one can obtain the Taihao Essence in the Heavenly Impulse Realm, the Divine Treasure Seed will be strengthened to an incredible degree, making it easy to become Quasi-Emperor in the future!
Therefore, after millions of years of struggle, all factions have tacitly agreed that only those at the Heavenly Impulse Realm can participate. After all, if the Taihao Essence is given to those at the Divine Treasure Realm, its effect will be greatly reduced, which would be a waste.
As for those who break the rules, the Supreme Star Palace will naturally take care of them.
