Chapter 399: The Nine Stars Land Makes Its Debut
The Primordial Emperor observed the surrounding stars with shock and suspicion. Upon seeing those stars, he easily deduced that they represented living beings!
He randomly selected one star and performed a minor deduction. Surprisingly, he deduced that this star was the Lifebound Star of an ordinary mortal named Zhou Yuan.
This person existed in a distant place, even beyond the range of the Great Emperor's spiritual perception, showing just how far away it was.
A mortal?
A Lifebound Star?
He then looked at the other stars and saw the Lifebound Stars of countless other lives.
When he lowered his gaze to the star beneath his own consciousness, an ethereal will automatically informed him that this was his own Lifebound Star!
"What is going on? I actually have a so-called Lifebound Star? Where is this place?"
The Primordial Emperor was deeply unsettled.
He immediately began deducing where this place was.Then, he deduced a name — the Nine Stars Land!
Apart from this name, he obtained no further information!
However, the moment he saw this name, certain memories inexplicably surfaced in his mind.
Some place names he had previously ignored were suddenly remembered.
"I have heard of places with similar names! The Nine Nether Realm! The Nine Void Land! The Nine Purity Land! I have heard these three similar place names. How could I have completely disregarded such mysterious places before? Something is wrong! Something is seriously wrong!"
The Primordial Emperor immediately sensed something amiss. He remembered that the Nine Nether Realm was the source of all Calamity Energy in the world, the starting and ending point of Kalpas and Calamity Fiends! He had once speculated that such a terrifying place had an owner, and that existence was likely the legendary Dao Lord, but he had inexplicably ignored it before.
As for the Nine Void Land, it was the final destination of the void. The reverse side of chaos was the void, and the Nine Void Land was the origin of all void.
The Nine Purity Land, which he had once investigated, was the graveyard for the True Spirits of all living beings. It held the ultimate mysteries of the True Spirit, being both the source and final resting place of True Spirits.
These three places were all exceptionally special and mysterious. Vaguely, they all concealed the existence of Dao Lords, yet he had, at some unknown time, begun to ignore their existence.
He had searched the entire world for traces of Dao Lords but had automatically overlooked these places.
"So, Dao Lords are hidden in such places?"
"Then, could this Nine Stars Land also be one?"
The Primordial Emperor looked gravely at his own Lifebound Star below him and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He attempted to use his will to slash out with a sword strike, aiming at the Lifebound Star of the mortal Zhou Yuan.
That Lifebound Star was indeed shattered by him.
However, he then saw another star phantom condense out of thin air in the distance. That star was unmistakably the Lifebound Star of the mortal Zhou Yuan.
The Primordial Emperor gained some understanding. "One can shatter a Lifebound Star, but it takes many shatterings to completely kill it! Even an ordinary mortal can recover up to a hundred times! And each time it reforms, it randomly appears somewhere within the Nine Stars Land."
"And once the Lifebound Star is completely destroyed, the main body will also perish!"
The Primordial Emperor fell into contemplation.
At that moment, he noticed that the residual power from the sword strike he had just unleashed had transformed into billions of star fragments, scattering throughout the Nine Stars Land.
Some Lifebound Stars happened to come into contact with those fragments and began to slowly absorb them. Those Lifebound Stars actually started to transform from illusory to real, solidifying, and gathering power!
Some Lifebound Stars, following a certain connection, fed the power back to their living beings!
He noticed that the mortal Zhou Yuan had also coincidentally obtained a star fragment. That person's destiny was changed from then on. He deduced that in the future, this person would step onto the path of cultivation and break through to the Golden Immortal realm through the Sword Dao. This was because he had received a sliver of power bestowed by him, allowing for such rapid progress.
The Primordial Emperor narrowed his eyes. "If that's the case, if my Lifebound Star becomes powerful, can it feed power back to me?"
The Primordial Emperor's ability to accept new information was strong. He immediately thought of the potential benefits this could have for him!
If he could receive feedback from his Lifebound Star, was it possible he could thereby embark on the path to becoming a Dao Lord?
Although he didn't believe becoming a Dao Lord was that easy, what if it was?
As a Great Emperor, he didn't mind trying more things!
Thinking of this, he began to experiment with how to enhance his Lifebound Star.
After experimenting, he discovered that any substance could be transmitted to the Nine Stars Land through the Lifebound connection to strengthen one's own Lifebound Star!
The Primordial Emperor took a single step and arrived at the Imperial Treasury. His gaze immediately locked onto the most precious Supreme Treasure within the treasury — the Sovereign-level Supreme Treasure, the Endless Divine Armor!
A look of hesitation crossed his face, but he decided to play it safe for now.
He summoned Emperor One.
"Emperor One pays his respects to the Great Emperor!" An Imperial-level being from the shadows knelt and prostrated before the Primordial Emperor.
"Emperor One, you performed well on your last mission. As a reward, this Emperor will bestow upon you a Near Sovereign-level Supreme Treasure!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor One was overjoyed. "Thank you, Great Emperor!"
The Primordial Emperor casually tossed a bell-shaped Supreme Treasure to him and then said, "Have you found your own Lifebound Star?"
"Lifebound Star?"
Emperor One was taken aback.
The Primordial Emperor casually taught Emperor One the sensing method he had just created.
Emperor One instantly comprehended it successfully and then connected to the interior of the Nine Stars Land.
"Great Emperor, may your subordinate ask, what place is this? Why do I have an extra Lifebound Star?"
Emperor One's mind was filled with numerous doubts.
The Primordial Emperor said calmly, "First, cultivate your Lifebound Star to the Imperial-level. Then, sacrifice the Near King-level Supreme Treasure you just received to your Lifebound Star."
Emperor One did not hesitate and acted according to the Primordial Emperor's instructions.
To cultivate his Lifebound Star, Emperor One used all his treasures to strengthen it.
With Emperor One's full support, his Lifebound Star grew rapidly, becoming larger and larger within the Nine Stars Land. The other Lifebound Stars around it were pushed aside, clearing out a vast area.
His Lifebound Star became incredibly solid, no different from a real star. It even began to emit starlight around it. The other Lifebound Stars illuminated by this starlight also became slightly more solid.
His Lifebound Star also continuously rose, soon reaching an extremely high position where it could look down upon the distant Star Sea!
Its radiance shone upon thousands of stars, making it exceptionally conspicuous.
In the future, if any living beings connected to the nearby Lifebound Stars, their method of enhancing their Lifebound Stars would be to find ways to absorb more of this starlight.
Finally, Emperor One cultivated his Lifebound Star to the Imperial-level. All his treasures were completely exhausted!
Subsequently, he sacrificed the Near Sovereign-level Supreme Treasure bestowed by the Great Emperor to his Lifebound Star as well.
His Lifebound Star finally underwent another transformation.
At that moment, Emperor One immediately discovered that his Lifebound Star began transmitting streams of power back to him, causing his long-stagnant cultivation to begin a new ascent!
