In fact, Ning Chuan didn't even bother to inquire about the Immortal Nie Yang mentioned; he already had a general idea of its identity.
Because the Military Department the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom began releasing information that very night.
In the following days, they further fueled the fire, making the topic of the Immortal's imminent arrival at Martial Star even more widely discussed!
" The Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom is making another big move, starting to recruit members from the past Three Thousand Heavenly Geniuses Ranking, seemingly targeting the current Lord of Martial Star!"
" The Yin Zhu Kingdom's descent into the Cangxuan Divine Dynasty must be for Ning Chuan!"
"According to reliable sources, this station has confirmed that Yin True God Zhu is preparing to summon ten Immortal to forcibly suppress and kill Ning Chuan!"
Various related news reports followed one after another.
Because it involves Immortal, it already attracted attention. Coupled with the heat of Ning Chuan's previous battle, it spread like wildfire, quickly reaching all parts of the Universe and causing a huge sensation.
Many young geniuses from other Divine Kingdom and royal courts have crossed the star sea one after another, arrived at the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, purchased Ancient Pilgrimage Path spots from various forces, and descended upon Martial Star.
A few of them just wanted to watch the spectacle and catch a glimpse of the Martial Star King's prowess.
The vast majority of them were genuinely there to seize the treasure. Ning Chuan's terrifying growth rate led them and the forces behind him to believe that there might still be a lot of resources left over from the glorious era of Martial Star, and they wanted a share of the spoils.
Even many forces within the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom shared the same idea and once again dispatched their divine sons and holy maidens to descend.
However, regardless of which faction they came from, they all sternly instructed the geniuses they dispatched, even directly ordering them not to be arrogant and to act discreetly!
Avoid contact with native creatures of Martial Star unless absolutely necessary.
In particular, all taxes and fees must be paid honestly.
After all, they had no means to restrain Ning Chuan, who possessed the combat power of the Nebula Realm.
What if they get hold of something against me...
Yin Zhu, this top-tier True God, is a bloody example.
This is good news for Ning Chuan, which has reaped substantial benefits thanks to the pre-arranged and complex tax system.
The amount in the bank account skyrocketed at an alarming rate!
The official institutions of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom did not intervene in this matter, seemingly having entrusted the task of dealing with Ning Chuan to the ruler of the kingdom, and were too lazy to resort to any underhanded tactics.
Ning Chuan knew perfectly well that the other party was deliberately creating a diversion to better conceal the spies that had arrived from the Military Department.
Moreover, the spies contacted him immediately.
Of course, this wasn't his true identity, but rather a disguised Divine Slave.
He helped complete many tasks assigned by the Supreme Hall, thus earning him merit.
However, Ning Chuan was not in a hurry to arrange for himself to be transferred to the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace.
Firstly, more than ten days is a bit too rushed and might arouse suspicion from the Military Department of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.
Secondly, Ning Chuan intends to maximize its strength.
Martial Star's defense mechanism is very strong, allowing him to be fearless of Yin Zhu, and even Immortal!
However, the absolute gap between him and these powerful beings who have looked down upon countless ages prevented him from gaining the initiative.
We can only react to each move as it comes, dealing with one challenge after another.
The Martial Star Peace Supervision Committee, the Yin Xusi, the Divine Guardian Guard, the Martial Extermination Army... all are like this!
Ning Chuan wants to change this situation!
And it must be done in a short time!
Relying solely on the strongest Divine Treasure and First-Grade Law would indeed be extremely difficult, with virtually no chance of success.
But the appearance of the Great Dao gave him hope.
That is the power of Immortal!
And not only can he take command ahead of time, but there is no limit to the number he can command!
Even Immortal can't do this!
"At this stage, I no longer feel invincible against Nie Yang, who is at the Demigod level. The next steps, such as King and Marquis, True God, and Immortal... are not far away!"
A sharp glint flashed deep in Ning Chuan's eyes.
Based on his past Mystic Truth, Law, and Divine Treasure, he was certain that a sufficient number of Great Dao, even at a lower level, could still bring about a terrifying qualitative change in his strength!
Of course, for him, paving the Great Dao was equally fraught with difficulties.
Exorbitantly priced or closely guarded Dao Art of Daoism.
In addition, it manifests the profound meaning of the Great Dao through its Immortal.
It's no exaggeration to say that even Demigod like Nie Yang would probably hesitate to approach.
However, compared to the Great Dao itself, it is already much simpler.
It is at least a feasible path.
"The more you want things to be fast, the less you should rush. Take it slow!"
Ning Chuan muttered to himself calmly, his heart undisturbed, and continued to comprehend the Great Dao of Space-Time, accelerating its automatic cultivation.
Time passed day by day.
The outside noise had no effect on Ning Chuan.
His true form resides at the military headquarters, cultivating the Great Dao; Dao Art focuses on live streaming, while the other ninety-nine are dedicated to exploring the Dao lineage.
During this period, Qing Meng visited once to inform them of the information she had gathered.
It has its pros and cons.
The good news is that although most of the Dao Art created by the Supreme Heavenly Gate Master were destroyed in the war of world destruction, one Dao Art was leaked out, and it was the pinnacle of the Heavenly Dao Art!
It's terrifying.
Once mastered, one can control destiny, alter the future, and kill without leaving a trace.
Back then, Yin Cang, among all the Immortal of Yin Star, might not have been the strongest, but the threat and damage he posed to Martial Star was arguably the greatest.
In some respects, they surpass even the Immortal who wield the Great Dao of Space-Time.
However, it was precisely because it was so powerful that bad news emerged.
Qing Meng pointed out that the Universe First Cultivator Bank who possesses the Heavenly Dao Art, has kept this Dao Art strictly guarded since obtaining it and has never passed it on to outsiders.
In the past, a True God offered a great price to purchase it, but was refused.
After all, without the Immortal of the Great Dao of Heavenly Fate, the number of times the Heavenly Dao Art can be passed down will only decrease.
"This is a bit difficult..."
Ning Chuan's eyes flickered slightly.
July 20th.
Nearly half a month has passed since Ning Chuan forcefully suppressed the Martial Extermination Army.
The commotion caused by the impending arrival of the Immortal on Martial Star has not subsided; on the contrary, it has intensified, becoming the focus of attention for countless beings in the Universe.
Every time Ning Chuan goes live, the audience is always packed.
Without using the highest level of paid comments, they are almost impossible to get displayed and will be directly buried.
"Young brother, you must cultivate diligently! I've asked my master to inquire about some news for you. The ruler of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom really intends to summon Immortal to Martial Star. They'll probably be here very soon, so you must be cautious and rise to power alive!"
A weak, tearful voice echoed across the chat platform; it was clearly a paid message from the highest tier.
Many new viewers felt pity upon hearing her voice.
The speaker was a girl, her beautiful figure silhouetted against the backdrop of tears welling in her eyes, looking utterly heartbroken.
But then, the girl burst into laughter through her tears, revealing an eerie beauty, and said, "But, little brother, if you really die, could you ask your friends or relatives to send me your ashes?"
I want to mix it into the soil and plant a bloodthirsty flower, watering it with my own blood, like our child, since it fits the definition of blood relatives, hehe!
New audience members who didn't know the girl beforehand twitched at the corners of their mouths.
What kind of blood relatives are these!
Ning Chuan was equally speechless.
This somewhat enchanting girl, named Mei Xiaoyao, is his die-hard fan, never missing a single second of his live streams.
She had previously threatened to steal her master's savings and descend upon the Martial Star.
The matter was eventually dropped.
According to her, it wasn't a breach of contract; it was just that she was accidentally discovered by her master, one of the top 100 villains on the Universe Blacklist, and is currently under house arrest for reflection.
However, Mei Xiaoyao was indeed very generous.
The amount of money given to Ning Chuan ranks among the top ten of all viewers.
She is quite famous online and has a strong earning power.
The crucial point is that another top-tier King and Marquis's master is ranked thirteenth on the Universe Blacklist!
The Universe Blacklist is not published by any professional organization, but is a list voted on by all beings in the Universe. Those on the list are all major demons, beings who can slaughter stars at the slightest provocation!
Mei Xiaoyao's master was able to stand out among so many demons, which speaks volumes about his actions!
They plundered numerous Divine Kingdom and royal courts, committing murder and robbery.
And this is only what has been revealed; their actions behind the scenes must be even more outrageous.
If they are absolutely certain of success, they might even dare to take action against dominant powers.
This is why they possess countless riches.
"Because I killed too many Martial Extermination Army and forced Yin Zhu to submit, I seem to be on the list too..."
An idea flashed through my mind.
Ning Chuan didn't pay much attention to Mei Xiaoyao's eccentricities, but a thought stirred in his heart as he remembered her mentioning the Immortal's personal arrival at Martial Star.
Based on the information gathered over the past few days, and considering Nie Yang's claim of ascension hundreds of millions of years ago, Ning Chuan now knows who that Immortal is.
Lord of the Underworld, Tu Tian Heaven!
He pioneered the Great Dao of Destruction, excelling in offense. At present, he has only created one Dao Art called the Heaven-Slaying Art, which is said to be terrifyingly lethal. He has visited various hegemonic forces and defeated several Immortal!
However, it's difficult to determine whether it's true or false.
Information about Immortal is mostly hearsay unless revealed by the True God or Immortal.
"Could I obtain this martial art?"
Ning Chuan subconsciously pondered.
no way.
The divine power of the Great Dao is heaven-defying; for every new path he opens up, his strength experiences a qualitative leap.
The initial few Great Dao, in particular, offer the most significant improvements!
More importantly, Tu Tian will arrive at Martial Star and use the power of the Great Dao to counter Martial Star's defense mechanisms.
Obtaining the Heaven-Slaying Art is equivalent to possessing at least a Great Dao of Destruction at the Sea Realm!
Ning Chuan is definitely tempted.
At this moment, another paid comment at the highest tier caught the attention of all viewers.
" Ning Chuan, I firmly believe you can withstand the immense pressure of Immortal and won't die. The only question is, when do you plan to march into the Star Sea?"
