This is the domineering nature of the [World of Cause and Effect], far superior to the teleportation effect of the divine kingdom, traversing countless light-years to reach all places with which it has a causal relationship.

We've arrived at the location of the Star Tower!

In the starry sky, an indescribable colossal object filled the field of vision.

It was a tower, a tower so majestic it defied imagination, a colossal tower that seemed to support the entire universe!

The entire tower is ice blue in color, and its body is made of an unknown material, with countless extremely complex secret patterns engraved on it.

These secret patterns seem to be naturally formed, containing the most essential primordial laws. Just looking at them from a distance can make people dizzy and even their souls tremble!

This is the Star Tower, and it's Lu Qingzhou's final goal during his Realm Lord stage.

He wants to become the master of the Star Tower!

This wasn't the first time Lu Qingzhou had seen the Star Tower. In fact, although his main body hadn't come, he had sent out clones to thoroughly investigate the area around the Star Tower while he was fighting in the outer battlefield.

He had arrived at the Star Tower, its entrance like an abyss. As soon as he entered, the scene before him instantly changed.

All around was an endless desert, the sky was a dull yellow, there was no sun, moon or stars, only endless desolation.

This is one of the countless forbidden spaces inside the Star Tower.

He released a slight amount of the laws of spacetime and the life force of the Earthlings around him, causing the entire desert to tremble violently. Lu Qingzhou couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, the Mountain Man had noticed him long ago. After Luo Feng died, he became the Mountain Man's only option.

Therefore, the aura of Earthlings and their cultivation of the laws of space and time became the trigger for the incident that caused the sealed star within the Star Tower to malfunction!

The Star-Sealing Treasure is a naturally formed, complementary sealing treasure within the Star Tower, a supreme treasure of the God-King level. It was continuously generated by the internal system when the Star Tower was crafted by Zuo Shan Ke, and it is a core component of the Star Tower.

A single one is worth 30 Treasure Points. Later, 100,000 of them will be used to seal stars. With the accompanying star map, their power will be comparable to the Chaos City Lord's Thousand Treasure River.

As for its power, a single one can seal an immortal king, and eight thousand can trigger a stellar linkage, with the power even reaching more than a dozen universe lords.

However, this also means that whenever a star is born, it will attract tens of thousands of immortal kings to frantically vie for it.

But it doesn't matter. He's not afraid of any madness now; he's just afraid they're not mad enough!

Deep in the desert, the void rippled stronger and stronger, and colorful rays of light bloomed.

With a buzzing sound, a huge seven-colored vortex with a diameter of ten thousand miles appeared in the void. The center of the vortex was extremely deep and exuded a heart-palpitating aura of suppression and sealing!

Soon, an extremely dazzling light appeared, which was none other than a star that was sealed away!

At this moment, countless powerful immortals from all races of the universe turned their gazes toward this place, swarming in like a swarm of locusts!

A chaotic battle erupted instantly.

Various energy clashes, law attacks, and soul collisions all unfolded.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Marquis-level Immortals, and a few weaker King-level Immortals, died in the melee.

Moreover, various blocking measures are also being implemented simultaneously during the battle, just in case someone gets there first.

In this way, it's as if everyone is working together to seal it off, making the entire space incredibly viscous, rendering conventional teleportation methods completely ineffective.

However, Lu Qingzhou's mastery of spatial laws has already surpassed that of ordinary high-level Venerables.

Therefore, in his eyes, these barriers were like spider webs in the forest, trying to withstand the onslaught of mammoths, and were completely ineffective.

In an instant, they arrived beside the sealed star and landed on its massive surface.

Various forms of interference immediately followed.

The process of a precious treasure recognizing its owner takes time. This process may not take a long time, but it must not be disturbed, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain.

Just then, a spatial fluctuation surged forth, and all the interference from the immortals vanished without a trace.

Only his soul aura, precisely and uniquely, landed inside the sealed star, completing the refining and recognition of its master!

Chapter 1091 Puti's Summoning, the Trial Begins

"What? The Star-Sealing Demon has recognized a master? How is that possible!"

Refining and sealing stars is no simple task, yet this person accomplished it effortlessly, as easily as eating and drinking, which is simply beyond reason.

"Let's attack together and take back Zhenfeng Star!"

Several immortal kings who couldn't see the situation clearly were still unwilling to give up and immediately rushed towards Lu Qingzhou together.

Lu Qingzhou chuckled: "So you really want to seal the stars? Fine, then you can have your fun."

He then pointed his finger, and the sealed star instantly transformed into a shooting star, rushing towards the several King-level Immortals, who were immediately horrified.

They had just been blinded by greed, but now they have come to their senses.

Regardless of the methods this person used, to have Zhenfeng Xingchen recognize him as its master in such a short time, their skill is far beyond what an ordinary king could achieve!

"Don't do anything, we're leaving now!"

"It's too late! Let's join forces and hold them off!"

The dozen or so kings immediately began to burn their divine bodies, and their surging divine power swept across hundreds of thousands of miles, like a sun about to explode.

The problem is that even though they tried their best, they were still like ants in front of Lu Qingzhou, with no chance of fighting back at all.

The Zhenfeng Star crashed down, and a series of explosions echoed throughout the space. These King-level Immortals were like detonated explosives, exploding in the air and turning into dazzling fireworks.

The other immortals turned pale upon seeing this.

Luckily, I didn't act rashly and follow them, otherwise I would definitely be cosmic dust by now.

It's important to understand that although Lu Qingzhou killed Kings as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs, in reality, each King-level Immortal was backed by a super family or a powerful force spanning multiple star regions, and had a strong backer.

The death of each immortal king triggers a fierce power struggle, resulting in the birth, death, rise and fall of hundreds of thousands or even millions of planets.

Lu Qingzhou smiled calmly and then put away the Star-Sealing Suppressor.

A single sealed star was far from satisfying Lu Qingzhou's appetite. He continued searching the interior of the Star Tower and found hundreds of sealed stars in just a few years.

On this day, he was searching in a space when suddenly, a mighty and mysterious power descended upon him.

He could sense that he could resist if he tried his best, but then he realized that in this Star Tower, the only ones with this level of power should be the Mountain Guest and his eldest disciple, Puti.

Following that immense and powerful force, he quickly entered a spatial exit, his mind still echoing: "Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

After entering the exit, instead of reaching another forbidden space, they flew into a colorful passage.

Lu Qingzhou was swept along and flew rapidly. The surrounding space was distorted, and he could vaguely see huge, sealed stars and towering pillars outside the magnificent passage. Outside the distorted space, there were many treasures with enormous auras.

Soon, he arrived at a vast and mysterious hall. There were nine pillars, each tens of thousands of kilometers high, supporting the entire hall. Above the hall, at the far ends in all directions, were countless sealing stars, like a sky full of stars, surrounding the entire hall.

He searched for years and found only a hundred, while there were hundreds of thousands inside this hall.

But what caught the eye the most was a huge figure!

The figure had a long serpentine body, but a human upper body, a typical human-headed serpentine appearance. A purple beard hung down, and his eyelids drooped slightly, but an endless pressure emanated from his body, a pressure that made people tremble with fear and involuntarily submit.

The overall pressure was like the boundless universe; though not violent, it left people with no will to resist. This was the aura unique to the Lord of the Universe!

An aged voice came from his mouth: "You've come, you've finally come."

Lu Qingzhou hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior. May I ask what brings you here?"

"You must be wondering why the Star Tower is so attractive to you, yet you can't bring yourself to become its master."

The Earth lineage was created by the Mountain Dweller for revenge, therefore the unparalleled geniuses who emerged from the Earth lineage have an intrinsic connection with the Star Tower.

“Indeed, I am filled with doubts,” Lu Qingzhou said.

"I have waited for you for far too long," the great and ancient being exclaimed. "My name is 'Puti,' the guardian of the Star Tower and your guide. I will answer all your questions."

"Let me start by telling you about myself. I was originally the first servant taken in by the creator of the Star Tower. However, over countless years, I became the Lord of the Universe. Later, my teacher showed me mercy and made me his disciple."

"I am the master's eldest disciple, the leader of the Yan God Clan is the master's second disciple, and you, like me, have been chosen by the master and will soon become the master's third disciple."

His eyes were full of admiration and envy.

The reason is that the Mountain Hermit is extremely strict in selecting his disciples; to become his disciple is a great stroke of luck.

"However, there's one thing I'd like to ask your opinion on. With your current potential, you no longer need any further testing. But the problem is, there's still a test here. You can choose to participate or not, because it's very dangerous."

"If you succeed, you will refine the Star Tower's bead and become the master of the Star Tower. But if you fail, you will perish. Are you willing to accept that?"

Lu Qingzhou answered without hesitation: "I accept!"

Puti laughed heartily: "As expected of a super genius from Earth, you are so decisive, excellent!"

Then, Puti gave Lu Qingzhou a lesson on the origins of Earth.

Earth was created by the Mountain-Sitting Guest himself. It was originally called 'Mountain and Sea Realm', then changed to 'Source Star', and only in the last few hundred thousand years has it been called Earth.

Then it also talked about the origin of the Yan God Clan and the situation of the Yan God Clan leader, Emperor Yan.

Lu Qingzhou, at just the right moment, revealed a look of surprise: "I didn't expect Earth to have such an origin. It seems that Teacher attaches great importance to both the Earth lineage and the Yan God Clan lineage. Moreover, since both the Star Tower and the Earth lineage were crafted by Teacher Zuoshanke, it's not surprising that I have a connection with the Star Tower."

"Your idea is correct, that's indeed the case."

Then, Puti handed the first two metal plates of the [Nine Tribulations Secret Manual] to Lu Qingzhou.

In the original novel, Luo Feng found the first two pieces himself: one in Shennongjia on Earth and the other in the battlefield outside the region.

But Lu Qingzhou couldn't find it, and he knew in his heart that it had most likely been taken back by the Mountain-Sitting Guest, and now it seems that this was indeed the case.

He then gave further instructions, explaining that the metal made from the Heavenly Soul Crystal was priceless, the only treasure in the universe capable of containing the [Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture], but there was only one chance to use it.

This is the price of defying the heavens. The supreme rules are extremely averse to treasures that can break through the limits of genes.

Let's begin.

Puti gently pointed at Lu Qingzhou, and instantly the seemingly ordinary crystal bead flew towards Lu Qingzhou.

The moment the crystal bead touched Lu Qingzhou, it entered his mind, and the test officially began!

Chapter 1092 The Tower Bead Recognizes Its Master, and the Mountain Guest Appears!

The moment the crystal bead entered his body, his primordial core trembled violently. Soon, intense pain swept over him, and Lu Qingzhou slowly closed his eyes, beginning to face this test that would last for thousands of years.

Puti sat cross-legged in the main hall, his purple beard hanging down, his eyes revealing a hopeful look.

"He's truly extraordinary. Despite being merely a Realm Lord, his soul aura is so powerful that even I can't clearly perceive it. It was only after my teacher personally explained it to me that I was able to discern it."

"He hasn't even obtained the [Nine Tribulations Secret Manual] yet, and he's already a possessor of perfect genes. It's unbelievable! Even I and Emperor Yan don't have perfect genes!"
