Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1280: Chapter 110: Overlooking the Starry Sky (2)

“Is this the reason why the starry sky stopped growing?”

Previously, when delving into the source of the starry sky, he already knew that the starry sky could expand infinitely.

However, due to the Corrosive Fate Dao, the expansion has stopped.

The current size of the starry sky is fixed.

Normally, the starry sky consists of only forty-nine fragments.

This is certainly not a good thing for the starry sky, being forcibly suppressed from growing. The suppression affects not just the starry sky, but also the creatures within it.

For example, the highest Dao Fruit evolved from the energy of the current starry sky is only at the Nineteen Realm, directly blocking the route for creature cultivation.

Unless one possesses special traits like him, and forcibly breaks through using external means.

“Previously, I only knew it couldn’t grow, but didn’t know the model. It turns out to be this Black Membrane. Is this Black Membrane a manifestation of the Corrosive Fate Dao’s power?”

The starry sky wishes to expand, while the Corrosive Fate Dao wishes to devour the starry sky.

This is the current situation.

Wang Sheng looked at the interior of the starry sky.

The presence of Dust Beasts indicates an abnormal starry sky; the absence of them signifies the hope preserved within the starry sky.

“The starry sky with Dust Beasts can still be considered good; some starry skies have been completely consumed, utterly destroyed.”

“Even the Starry Sky Dao is now affected to some extent. The previous characteristics displayed by Chong Xu were a manifestation of this effect, leading entirely opposite to the Starry Sky Dao. If this continues, the entire starry sky has only one path left: destruction, under the pressure not only from the Corrosive Fate Dao but also from the creatures within.”

The starry sky cannot currently resolve the Corrosive Fate Dao and hence places its hope in the creatures within.

Hoping for the emergence of a breaker.

And he’s currently occupying this position.

For example, in the Old Land, had he not inadvertently entered and thoroughly resolved the Chong Xu and other cultivators from the Devouring Sect, perhaps the Old Land starry sky would have fallen into silence.

Moreover, it would also affect the surrounding starry skies.

For example, the New Land.

It’s imperative to know that before he went to the Old Land, the Old Land and the New Land had already begun to connect, it was a foregone conclusion.

“Inadvertently eliminated part of the crisis in advance.”

“I wonder if I can trace the source of this Black Membrane.”

The Black Membrane enveloping the starry sky is likely the power of the Corrosive Fate Dao.

If he could find the source, perhaps he could directly resolve the Corrosive Fate Dao.

He followed the energy vein of the Black Membrane, continually tracing back to find the root of the starry sky’s pathology.

From the current perspective, he soon found what he wanted to see.

Following the energy vein of the Black Membrane, it’s easy to find its source.

At the edge of the starry sky, there’s a mass of black aura.

The black aura constantly changes, as sinister and nauseous as worms, clinging to the starry sky.

The massive maw seems to want to swallow the entire starry sky.

But the magical thing is that although the Black Membrane shows signs of devouring the starry sky, the black aura seems to merge with the starry sky, indistinguishable.

“Is this the pathology? It seems to have completely merged with the starry sky; no wonder the starry sky can’t completely resolve it.”

The consequence of indistinguishability is that while the Starry Sky Rules intend to deal with it, they must be cautious.

This is why the current situation of the starry sky persists.

Wang Sheng could see the ferocious giant worm formed by the black air, rooted in the Daoist path of the starry sky.

Especially the Fate Dao.

“So, is it the external enemy from Chaos, or is it a problem within the Fate Dao itself?”

The black has entirely merged with the starry sky.

“Let me look deeper…”

Even a portion of the Daluo Realm’s position should reveal the secrets of the black aura.

Yet as his gaze deepened, his power consumption swiftly increased.

“There’s indeed protection; it’s not unexpected… seems I can only stop here.”

He could forcibly look deeper.

But the cost of doing so is certain exposure.

Crucially, forcibly probing might not yield answers, because he himself doesn’t know how long his power can be sustained when probing deeper; it’s quite unfavorable.

“If I had the complete power of the Daluo Realm, perhaps I would try, but unfortunately, there’s only position…”

“However, fortunately, my goal this time has actually been achieved long ago.”

Feeling the power draining, Wang Sheng did not continue to probe.

He chose to exit this special state, as continuing carried no substantial significance.

He severed the energy supply to the Virtual World.

Wang Sheng only felt that distinct power within quickly dissipating.

The feeling of seeming to control everything also went away, leaving a sense of longing.

In an instant, he had returned to the starry sky.

“Back again?”

Wang Sheng looked around himself.

He himself hadn’t changed, but the surrounding environment had undergone vast changes.

“If a Twelfth Realm cultivator were to come here earlier, they could perhaps instantly understand, breaking through to the Thirteen Realms…”

The Daluo Realm operates even within the Virtual World.

But it influences reality from the Virtual World.

Merely revealing a part of its power also manifests a portion of the source of the starry sky.

Unfortunately, as the Daluo Realm’s power dissipates, the special effect also vanishes, no effect if coming now.

Watching the environment gradually restore, Wang Sheng felt quite reflective.

“From the Virtual World, directly affecting reality, even empowering me with a position, truly enviable power.”

Even knowing the power of the Daluo Realm is strong, seeing and experiencing it firsthand is another feeling.

Subsequently, Wang Sheng restored the changes caused by the Daluo Realm, then returned to the Daoist School.

“I’ve found the source of the starry sky’s pathology, and it’s certain that the Daluo Realm’s power can truly solve all problems, though the reason for the pathology remains unseen, but it doesn’t matter.”

From the beginning, the exploration of the source of the Corrosive Fate Dao pathology wasn’t in Wang Sheng’s plan.

Overlooking the starry sky with the Daluo Realm’s position was an unexpected pleasant surprise.

Seeing it is naturally better, not seeing doesn’t matter.

Most importantly, his attempt to simulate the opening of the Daluo Realm using the Virtual World was indeed successful.

Moreover, it wasn’t a usual success; he initially only intended to simulate the process, preparing for the future, while also assessing how many Divine Passage Fruits could attempt to open the Daluo Realm.

The result brought the actual Daluo Realm to descend.

This was the greatest harvest.

With this gain, other things are already not as important.

Wang Sheng once again divided the Virtual World.

“Having succeeded once before, can it continue?”

If possible, he could achieve many things using the power of the Daluo Realm.

The first time borrowed only a position, perhaps next time actual power could be utilized?

After all, there were already Daluo Realm Fragments before.

That is to say, borrowing power isn’t impossible.

Thus, he began another attempt.

But this time the process directly stalled at the step of casting the Tree of Dao Laws.

“The Virtual World’s Virtual Law is wounded at the root… although it can recover, it needs time, probably one hundred thousand years.”

The power of the Daluo Realm was demonstrated again.

Its mere descent wounded the root of the Virtual Law.

Now, the laws within the Virtual World lag significantly behind the starry sky, making it impossible to cast Divine Skills.

Even if cast, it can’t be used to simulate the opening of the Daluo Realm.

Compared to the Dao Fruit in the real starry sky, there’s a huge difference, unable to meet even the most basic requirements.

“Such dominant power, but if it can recover, the problem isn’t big; one hundred thousand years isn’t too long.”

Time, to him, is merely a variable.

The planning within the Primordial Ancestor World far exceeds one hundred thousand years.

Attempting to descend with the power of the Daluo Realm in one hundred thousand years is nothing.

“Given this extent of damage, the cultivation within the current Virtual World isn’t significantly affected, the problem isn’t very serious.”

Though with some damage, it’s not total destruction.

Supporting the cultivation of current starry sky cultivators remains no issue.

For Thirteen, Fourteen Realm cultivators, the impact of Virtual Law damage isn’t significant.

“Should first restore those virtual worlds of several starry skies…”
