Chapter 382 Great Refining of Stars, Profound True Dao Treasure
"Yes, this is common information within the upper echelons of the Immortal Alliance, so telling you now won't hurt."
Jili Zhenjun said to Ye Yang, "At first, because we suspected that Daozu was a member of that super civilization, we called that civilization Daozu Civilization."
""
"Later, we learned from a 'foundation stone' that the civilization called itself—the Federation of Multi-Humanities."
"The Human Federation?" Ye Yang nodded.
This self-designation reveals how the civilization positions itself.
It should be a super civilization spanning all heavens, built upon the foundation of "human beings" as an intelligent species, or rather, a "concept".
"They also travel through countless worlds using the [Gate of All Heavens], but it's not the same [Gate of All Heavens] that our Immortal Alliance relies on. Ours is number 042, and theirs is number 006."
"However, this multi-human federation seems to have suffered a huge blow, with its main civilizations severely damaged or even wiped out, thus initiating the Fire Seed Project. The Dao Foundation Stones we occasionally find in those advanced worlds" originate from this.
"Through the research of the Celestial Venerables, we can basically determine the approximate location of our current main world and the numerous worlds that resonated within the 'Myriad Realms'," which was originally the pioneering area of the "Multiverse Human Federation."
Frontier region.
"While there is no concept of time and space outside this world—using 'location' as an analogy isn't entirely appropriate—there are indeed conceptual differences between different worlds, similar to 'far' and 'near.'"
"The Multi-Human Federation was originally very active in this area, leaving behind traces of its activities, but these traces abruptly ended at a certain point."
"What is basically certain is that even if the Multi-Human Federation survived that great calamity, it is now severely damaged and unable to continue to expand outwards."
"It's hard to imagine the magnitude of the blow that could inflict such a glorious defeat on a civilization. Among all the civilizations in the heavens, our Star Alliance is merely a very weak nascent seed."
The True Lord of Extreme Power recounted many secrets he knew, although most of these secrets, which circulated among the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance, were merely speculations based on limited information.
Ye Yang listened carefully, not missing a single detail, nodding occasionally and asking questions at other times.
This can be considered a form of casual conversation.
During their casual conversation, the topic gradually shifted to some secrets beyond the main galaxy.
Regarding the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds under the control of the Void Cult, regarding observational conclusions about the few galaxies passing through several large voids, and regarding the advance reconnaissance plan for targets at the edge of the large voids —
This gave Ye Yang a certain understanding of the situation surrounding the Immortal Alliance.
This includes the area surrounding the Milky Way galaxy, as well as the area surrounding the main world at the celestial level.
"Humans generally resonate with and connect to replica worlds where the human race exists. Non-human intelligent species can also use the [Gate of the Heavens]. They generally resonate with and connect to worlds where their respective races exist, but not necessarily where humans exist."
"This has been tested before; it mainly depends on self-awareness—"
"Seniors." While Ye Yang and his companion were chatting, True Immortal Ji Miao approached with a beaming smile and handed over two documents: "These are the rights and interests of the Source River World that the elders of the Dao lineage have allocated to you two after discussion."
One of the payments was for Ye Yang, which puzzled him: "Wasn't it said that my share would be paid by Ji Li?"
"Haha, Senior Jili's share will naturally be substantial. This is just a small token of my appreciation, a congratulatory gift for Senior Qingfeng's advancement to True Lord. I hope Senior won't find it too insignificant," said True Immortal Ji Miao with a smile.
Ye Yang nodded: "Alright, let's form this good connection. If you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation in the future, you can come to me. As for my identity—you'll find out soon enough."
The war in the Source River World has come to an end.
The four ancestral rivers have all been occupied, and the joint development team is already planning how to carry out the transformation work. By using the will of all living beings, they will distort and rewrite the will of the "Great River Spirit" and completely tame it into a watchdog for the Immortal Alliance forces in this world!
However, what happened afterward had nothing to do with Ye Yang. Jili Zhenjun only needed to leave behind his Xuanzhen Dao Treasure to suppress it, and he could probably retrieve it after a hundred years. This would free up Ye Yang's time to do other things.
Upon returning to the main world, Ye Yang immediately began the third phase of construction for Minghong Constellation!
This time, he will increase the number of stars in Minghong Constellation to 1000 in one go!
Generally speaking, the limit for a Star Lord at the peak is to refine 1000 Stars, with a fluctuation range of no more than 70.
Ye Yang has now achieved the Dao and is theoretically capable of refining and controlling 1 stars, but—he's out of money.
Yes, Ye Yang, who became very wealthy a long time ago and had more Destiny Points than he could ever spend, is now experiencing the feeling of being broke again!
"Extracting 1000 standard stars will cost 10 Jing of Destiny Points. I also need to pay the Immortal Alliance a Star Tax of 1 Jing of Destiny Point per year, but I have to pay a guarantee of 8 Jing. I currently only have about 40 Jing of cash on hand. In addition, I need to raise materials to refine the Xuanzhen Dao Treasure—that's the real expense."
Ye Yang counted on his fingers and immediately felt that his wallet was about to burst.
"It seems I'll have to cause a few more big things in the Devouring World to satisfy my cultivation needs later."
With a sigh, he continued to focus his energy on refining 964 stars simultaneously.
These 964 stars include red dwarfs with low power but extremely long lifespans, as well as blue supergiants with high power but poor stability and extremely short lifespans.
Among them are special celestial bodies such as white dwarfs.
But the most common are standard stars that are of moderate size, moderate power, and high stability.
Within a confined space, 1000 stars are crammed together, with an average gap of only 0.6 to 0.9 astronomical units (about 1.5 million kilometers, the average distance between the Earth and the Sun), making it extremely crowded!
For any ordinary life form, this place is a hellish space.
If a life-bearing planet were placed in the center, life on it would immediately witness the spectacular sight of "a hundred suns in the sky"—the sky filled with suns of all sizes.
The starry sky region allocated to Ye Yang by the Immortal Alliance was simply too small. There was no other way; after entering the Era of All Heavens, a large number of cultivators in the Milky Way advanced to True Immortals. In recent years, there have been 5 people who have advanced to Star Lords after Ye Yang, so everyone had to squeeze together.
Fortunately, Ye Yang never intended to use his own star to nurture a life-bearing planet.
In just a century, the appearance of Minghong Star has changed dramatically, naturally astonishing the surrounding neighbors.
"The power of the Great Dao of Minghong Star Lord is truly formidable. He refined nearly a thousand stars in one go, making this starry sky dozens of times brighter than it was a hundred years ago."
"Tsk, these young people nowadays really dare to dream and do things. Even those fellow cultivators who have stood at the peak of Star Lord for hundreds of thousands of years wouldn't dare to undertake such a massive project as the Thousand Star Refining Ceremony, would they?"
Several star lords looked at that area of sky and marveled at it.
However, what they didn't know was that Ye Yang had only focused one-third of his attention on refining these stars.
The other two-thirds of his mind and spirit had been used by Ye Yang to refine his own Xuanzhen Dao Treasure for the past hundred years!
After obtaining the refining method from the Immortal Martial Dao Lineage, Ye Yang also collected enough materials through the channels of True Lord Jili.
"Daoji Dust" refers to the fragments and dust that Ye Yang repeatedly washed away over 20 years using the power of the Great Dao to cleanse the Life Source Stone Tablet.
Over the past 60 years, he has used neutron stars as a furnace and primordial matter as the main material, adding a large amount of materials of different properties from all the heavens and myriad worlds. These materials complement each other and are combined with the unique omnidirectional properties of Dao Jichen to refine this spiritual treasure that belongs exclusively to him.
The soul and flesh nourished him, and the Dao Fruit nurtured him, making him an inseparable part of Ye Yang, and giving him life of his own.
"It's done, open the furnace!"
Ye Yang's eyes gleamed with excitement as he slapped his large hand onto the neutron star in front of him, which was only 19.3 kilometers in diameter.
-
boom!
The neutron star has cracked open.
The spacetime ripples, so intense they could easily tear planets apart, burst forth and spread, their intensity decreasing in an inverse square law.
And from this boundless light and heat emanates various high-energy particles, theoretically capable of destroying the atmospheres of all life-bearing planets within hundreds of light-years, triggering a mass extinction.
However, this is the galactic core region, where there are no habitable planets in the conventional sense.
For the celestial body itself, this radiation is merely a gentle breeze.
call out!
A streak of light pierced through space and flew straight into Ye Yang's hand.
Within the flowing light were three spiritual orbs arranged in an isosceles triangle, supporting and restraining each other, constantly revolving around a central point.
Before refining the Xuanzhen Dao Treasure, Ye Yang had already considered what form it should take.
The agility and elegance of the longsword, the weight and steadiness of the giant axe—battle flags, treasure mirrors, palaces, catalogs—Ye Yang thought about many things before realizing that he didn't have much interest in these external objects.
At the core of everything is oneself, the self; external things are merely aids that can be discarded at will.
As for the Xuanzhen Dao Treasure, which is about to become an inseparable part of his Dao, he didn't have any special requirements.
Too many ideas, too difficult to choose, why not go back to basics—just make three beads.
These three spirit orbs, though seemingly separate, are in fact one, and the workings within them are quite complex.
They can represent the three elements of heaven, earth, and humanity, and can also carry the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit, naturally forming an extremely stable state.
The three spirit orbs also embody the three aspects of Ye Yang's Great Dao: time and space, spiritual thought, and life evolution.
The path of "life evolution" is the weakest, but it is extremely compatible with Ye Yang's fungal form and the insect race. It will also be of great help to him in the future when he takes the path of divine power to advance to the true god in the Devouring World!
Therefore, Ye Yang decided to incorporate it into his own Dao system.
However, because their understanding of this path was the weakest, the three spirit orbs adapted to form an isosceles triangle as they operated, dynamically maintaining balance, which demonstrates their stability.
Each spirit orb is influenced by the aura of the other two spirit orbs—for example, the one representing "spiritual thought" can be used for offense or defense through "life evolution" in spacetime.
The other two are also based on the main path of defense and the auxiliary path of defense, forming a trinity with three sides, full of infinite mysteries.
Of course, this system is only in its initial stages. The Xuanzhen Dao Treasure can be considered an upgraded version of the natal magic treasure, and it can naturally grow with the cultivator and be perfected with the perfection of the Dao.
"It can be used as an area-of-effect weapon in melee combat, and can be used to smash people with ranged attacks."
Ye Yang named his newly born Xuanzhen Dao Treasure the "Three Lives Pearl".
Once the refining was complete, he smoothed the cracked neutron star back together. This neutron star had served as a furnace once, losing about 4% of its mass, but it was still usable.
"The Dao Treasure is complete; it's time to settle that inexplicable karmic debt."
Ye Yang turned his gaze to a direction in the starry sky—the Falling Star constellation.
Falling Star Lord was the first person to advance to the Star Lord realm after the start of the Era of All Heavens, and was also known as the number one genius of the new generation.
As a prime example, she received tremendous attention from the entire Immortal Alliance, and the geniuses of her time jealously said that she was like the daughter of the entire Immortal Alliance, truly reaping all the benefits of the era!
Whether it's material resources or personal connections, her accumulation is something that newcomers cannot easily catch up with.
Her talent, especially in the Dao of the Great Void, has led to greater expectations being placed upon her; perhaps in the future, she will be able to lead the Immortal Alliance—
To traverse the path of refining the void and open up a completely new realm —
However, with the emergence of another genius and the outbreak of the Void Plague, an even more dazzling figure appeared, and soon his reputation in the Immortal Alliance surpassed that of this favored daughter of heaven.
However, the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance still attach great importance to this Falling Star Lord, even to a degree that slightly surpasses that of Ye Yang.
Not only because of her exceptionally deep accumulation of knowledge, but also because she is most likely to be the first to enter the True Lord realm.
Furthermore, because—she is the top candidate for the position of leader of the [Gate of All Heavens]!
The significance of the Gate of All Heavens to the Immortal Alliance is beyond doubt. However, the mechanism by which this mysterious object is controlled is somewhat strange, and no one can be completely certain of what the final outcome will be.
According to the known rules:
"The top ten candidates' tasks will increase their weight by one billion times upon completion of each task."
The logic behind this rule is that it is governed by the group, and the higher the weight, the higher the authority.
Complete all tasks to take control of the Gates of the Heavens!
This rule also allows those who meet the conditions to directly become the holders.
The tasks can be assigned, which are divided into individual tasks for candidates and tasks that need to be completed by the selected civilization as a whole. Whether the final result will be a winner-takes-all or a system of checks and balances is uncertain, because no one has ever witnessed an individual or civilization truly in charge of the [Gate of the Heavens].
Regardless, Falling Star, ranked first, is extremely important and receives a lot of attention.
On this day, Ye Yang brought with him the "Three Lives Pearl," a Xuanzhen Dao Treasure he had recently successfully refined, and the Tai Su Battle Body, which had been slightly improved over the past century, to the starry sky near the Falling Star Constellation.
He concealed his aura and energy fluctuations, not letting a trace leak out. Even those who were also True Lords found it difficult to discern his true realm and cultivation level, let alone those with lower cultivation.
Ye Yang came prepared this time, and he was confident in his ability to deal with the other party, whether they had good intentions or bad intentions.
"After waiting for more than three thousand years, you have finally arrived."
As the light distorted, Luo Yun seemed to have been transported to this starry sky, looking helplessly at Ye Yang: "It seems you're ready. Come with me."
