Azure Immortal Star, Inside the Dao Palace

"That's it!"

In the distant void, one can see a massive but broken star. Among the many shattered and scattered star fragments, one can also see many Dao Lords of Life and Death.

They came from various factions: special life forms, ancient cultivators, the Eternal Race, Chaos Beasts, and cultivators—

This is the most dangerous place in the entire Yin-Yang Heaven, but it is also the place with the most opportunities.

That shattered star, with a diameter exceeding a hundred billion miles, was said to be a weapon of war from the Sith, but it was destroyed in an ancient war, with nearly 30% of the star breaking apart and scattering into the nearby void.

It remains in this state today.

"On Cangxian Star, dangers lurk everywhere. Although the Sith race has been completely wiped out, some of the formations and puppets they left behind are still in operation," said Daoist Yu Chen. "There are quite a few that can threaten us."

The Heavenly Valley Ruins is a desolate place that has been explored for a long time. On this Cangxian Star, there were even Emperor-level puppets in the past, but they were basically taken away by the Eternal Emperors.

However, this does not mean that there are no opportunities here. Some areas have not been conquered and even the three rulers cannot do anything about them, but they will open up from time to time.

That's why it was preserved, and creatures often come here to wander and try their luck.

"In about a thousand years, the Dao Palace within will open once. This Dao Palace only opens once every 100,000 Chaos Eras. Its interior is vast and boundless, and it is said to be comparable to a territory."

"Countless beings have entered it in the past and obtained many opportunities and blessings."

Yu Chen Daojun spoke, explaining why so many Daojuns of life and death had gathered here.

"Why does the Chaos Era begin only once every 100,000 years?"

Xia Mangqing was puzzled. Logically speaking, the Sith's war weapons should not be in this state. It was as if they were deliberately sent in to explore and obtain opportunities and fortune.

"Legend has it that these are rules established by the Supreme Being."

Lingyun Daojun explained, "Of course, it's hard to tell the truth from the falsehood. After all, in the entire Endless Territory, even the three great rulers probably haven't seen the legendary Supreme Being."

The Supreme Being is a legend in the entire chaotic universe, an existence of unparalleled supremacy. But these Dao Lords of Life and Death have only heard of the Supreme Being. Who among them has the chance to actually see such an existence?

Throughout history, there have probably been very few such examples.

"Supreme One————"

Xia Mangqing's eyes flickered slightly. If that were the case, it would make sense. After all, for a Dao Lord of Life and Death, ten thousand Chaos Eras was a very long time, almost the limit of one's lifespan.

But for the Eternal Emperor, ten thousand Chaos Eras is nothing. They can wait. They can enter the Dao Palace when it opens and seize the opportunities and fortunes within.

But if the Supreme Being sets the rules, then it's a different story.

"but----"

Xia Mangqing looked at the broken star and said, "For a Supreme Being to intervene, there must be unknown secrets within this Azure Immortal Star."

C

What kind of being is the Supreme Being?

If this Azure Immortal Star were just an ordinary Sith war machine, it wouldn't be like this. Even if they wanted to create a place of inheritance, they would do what the Azure Netherworld and the ancestral land of the Eternal Clan did, gathering the inheritances of many ancient and powerful beings.

Of course, Xia Mangqing did not know the specifics, but according to his calculations, even if there was a crisis, the Dao Lord of Life and Death should be able to resolve it, otherwise he would not have made such a rule.

"Let's go, let's find a fragment of a star to settle down on temporarily."

Yu Chen Daojun said, and then the four of them landed on a fragment tens of millions of miles long, and then opened up the cave.

After opening up the cave, Xia Mangqing also set up a time array that could maintain a time flow rate a hundred times faster.

He was comprehending the Yin-Yang Heaven, and the perilous environment of this place was an opportunity for him.

"Yin gives birth to Yang, Yang dies; Yin dies, Yang gives birth—the cycle continues endlessly, for countless generations. This—is also a kind of reincarnation—"

"The cycle of the Great Way!"

More than nine hundred years have passed in the outside world.

Within the formation, Xia Mangqing had been comprehending the second level of Chaos Yin Yang and Chaos birth and death for over 90,000 years, which he had created in the first 30,000 years.

Then he began to comprehend the cycle of chaos. Now, observing the changes and operations of Yin and Yang, he occasionally had a feeling and comprehended the profound truth of the cycle of the Great Dao. He then created the second level of the cycle of chaos.

Furthermore, after he created the second level of the six basic paths, based on the cycle of chaos, the six paths naturally and perfectly merged together.

This is a profound manifestation of the cycle of the Great Dao. At this moment, the six paths are in operation and evolving, forming their own system.

However, even at this stage, the ultimate chaotic Dao at a higher level has not yet been formed. A moment of sudden enlightenment is still needed to achieve the sublimation of the Dao and truly reach the second level.

"This is really difficult—"

Xia Mangqing shook his head. Since becoming the Dao Lord of Life and Death, including the time acceleration on his own side, he has cultivated for two or three hundred thousand years, but he has only perfectly integrated the strongest Dao of the second level and has not yet truly transformed into the ultimate Dao.

However, this was within his expectations, so he was not in a hurry. As for that moment of enlightenment, he didn't know how long it would take to achieve it through seclusion alone, so he did not continue his seclusion. Instead, he left his cave and planned to break through by using external pressure.

Why do practitioners take risks? Why do they undergo trials of life and death? It is because only under sufficient pressure and with sufficient circumstances can they be moved and break through.

Therefore, Xia Mangqing knew very well that he needed a duel, a real life-or-death duel.

"Junior brother, you've finally emerged from seclusion."

As Xia Mangqing stepped out of the cave, he immediately saw the three Dao Lords, Yu Chen and his companions. They were not in seclusion; at their level, any further progress would only bring them to the edge of the Dao Integration stage.

In terms of strength, the improvement won't be significant.

"Senior brothers and sisters, how is the situation now?"

Xia Mangqing asked.

"There have been some fluctuations, and it is estimated that it will open soon. Your emergence from seclusion is just in time," said Daoist Lingyun.

"Junior brother, how are your gains?"

Mu Jue Daojun asked with a smile.

"Not bad, I've made some progress, and I'm not too far from becoming a Third-Step Dao Lord."

Xia Mangqing smiled and said, but the three of them, including Yu Chen Daojun, were surprised because Xia Mangqing's improvement speed was too fast. All in all, Xia Mangqing had not even been a Daojun of Life and Death for ten thousand years.

So quickly you're already close to becoming a Three-Step Dao Lord?

Simply incredible.

"If my junior brother becomes a three-step Dao Lord, his strength will probably be even greater than mine now."

Yu Chen Daojun sighed. He had not yet reached the edge of the Dao Integration stage, but even if he did, without special opportunities, his strength would at most reach the level of a top-tier second-level Daojun.

Xia Mangqing, who has not yet become a third-step Dao Lord, is already comparable to a second-level Dao Lord in strength. He will definitely be stronger after breaking through. Putting aside everything else, he thinks that Xia Mangqing's ability to control the nine secret techniques with the third-level Dao is enough to make him comparable to the top existence among the second-level Dao Lords.

"Haha, senior brother, since that's the case, why not take advantage of the fact that we can still suppress Junior Brother Qingxuan and have a debate with him?"

Daoist Mujue chuckled and teased, "After Junior Brother Qingxuan becomes a legend across the endless territories, can you still claim you defeated him?"

"Hahaha—that makes sense!"

Yu Chen Daojun laughed heartily, then looked at Xia Mangqing: "Junior Brother, shall we have a discussion on the Dao?"

"There is nothing wrong with that."

Xia Mangqing nodded. In a direct fight, he might not be as good as Yu Chen Daojun, but in a discussion of the Dao—with the ultimate Dao being so comprehensive, Yu Chen Daojun might not be able to defeat him.

Of course, discussing the Dao with a fourth-step Dao Lord like Yu Chen Dao Jun would also bring many benefits to Xia Mang Qing.

Amidst laughter and conversation, Xia Mangqing and Daoist Yu Chen began to discuss the Dao. Later, Mu Jue and Daoist Ling Yun joined in. They forgot about winning or losing, but this was the inevitable path for cultivators to discuss the Dao. When one is truly immersed in the mysteries of the Dao, what is the meaning of winning or losing?

It was during this discussion that the final period of waiting passed.

Rumble—

The heavens and earth roared, and the yin and yang energies clashed. Within that enormous Cangxian Star, a magnificent palace opened.

Inside, it seems as if a vast sea of ​​stars crisscrosses, radiating immense brilliance.

The moment the palace opened, all the waiting Dao Lords of Life and Death vanished into it.

"There is a sense of life."

Xia Mangqing's consciousness spread out, and his current consciousness was enough to cover an entire territory. In the blink of an eye, he had figured out the situation of this starry sky.

Of course, there were also some special areas that he couldn't explore clearly, as some strange force blocked his exploration.

"There are quite a few life-bearing stars, but this used to be Sith territory. Could those beings be—Sith?"

Yu Chen Daojun and the others also investigated.

However, Xia Mangqing felt that this was not the case. In his perception, the cultivation system of those beings was consistent with the civilization of cultivators, while the true Sith race was simply unable to cultivate this chaotic universe system because they could not sense the existence of "Dao".

However, these beings may be descendants of the Sith and other beings from this chaotic universe. Such cases are not uncommon and have existed since ancient times.

"Never mind their identities, let's explore them first," said Daoist Yu Chen.

This palace has been explored before, and much information has already been made public. Otherwise, they would definitely have arrested a group of indigenous people to question them first.

"I'm quite interested in the civilization here. Let me create an avatar to take a look around," Xia Mangqing said. Then, an avatar emerged from his body, controlled by a wisp of his divine sense.

His avatar was weak, only one ten-thousandth of his strength, but that was enough. In his perception, the strongest beings in this starry sky were only at the World Realm.

Their avatars departed, heading towards an extremely powerful life-bearing star. Afterward, the four of them headed towards a void.

Previously, when exploring with my consciousness, that void was hazy and could not be clearly perceived; it was a special place within the Dao Palace.

Soon, they arrived at that void, a vast and empty area where not a single star could be seen, nor could any sign of life be felt.

"Leave it to me."

Xia Mangqing took the initiative to speak, and then took a step forward, which shattered spacetime, revealing a crack that showed the scene within.

"Let's go." The four of them entered the space. Unlike what they had just seen, in this space, they could see stars, but they were still few and far between, emitting only a faint light in this vast void.

"Not this time and space."

Xia Mangqing tore through time and space once again.

The unique nature of this area has long been explained by living beings.

In countless times and spaces, there are hidden treasure troves, but reaching them is difficult and requires a bit of luck.

Moreover, if you go too deep, you may easily get lost.

Xia Mangqing led Yu Chen and the others, tearing through space and time again and again. After hundreds of times, the scene in front of them changed again. They could still see stars, but on some of these stars, a towering tree grew.

Seemingly nourished by the stars and drawing energy from them, these trees are all over ten thousand miles tall, with lush branches and leaves, shining with star-like brilliance. However, upon closer inspection, one will find that each giant tree bears only a few scattered fruits.

"That's... the Star-Devouring Tree?!"

Yu Chen Daojun's expression showed slight excitement.

The Star-Devouring Tree is an extremely special existence. It feeds on chaotic stars and must consume the primordial energy of tens of thousands of chaotic stars in order to condense a Star-Devouring Dao Fruit!

Moreover, this divine tree is "alive," capable of moving on its own, and is extremely precious. It is a top-tier eternal divine object, and here they saw more than a hundred of them.

"It's out!"

Daoist Mujue laughed heartily. There were over a hundred Star-Devouring Trees, each with two or three Star-Devouring Dao Fruits. Even if they only picked the Dao Fruits, they would have made a huge profit on this trip.

"What are you waiting for? Make your move!"

Yu Chen Daojun laughed, and then the four of them no longer hesitated and made their moves.

The Star-Devouring Tree is an eternal divine object with its own independent consciousness and considerable power, but they are at least top-tier fourth-step Dao Lords, so they can easily deal with it.

Soon, they had captured all the Star-Devouring Trees in this space-time.

Compared to the Dao Fruit, the Star Devouring Tree is naturally more valuable. It can be sold or used to forge divine weapons. It has many uses and can bring them a wealth of resources.

"Junior brother, let's go back. We've already traveled through time and space hundreds of times. If we continue, the risk of getting lost is too great."

After capturing them, Daoist Yu Chen said that the harvest in this area was already quite substantial, and there was no need to continue taking risks.

"it is good."

Xia Mangqing sensed space and time, then tore through space and time again, beginning to return along the original route.

They were quite lucky and didn't encounter any accidents, but after returning to the surface space, Xia Mangqing received some news.

The message came from the avatar, who had found a clue in the ancient ruins of a life-bearing star.

"Ascension—could it be like those Sith strongholds?"

Xia Mangqing's mind was heavy.

He remembered that in the original timeline, the Sith had created many life-bearing spaces in the chaotic universe, where they multiplied and thrived, preparing for the Second World War.

If a similar situation exists in this place, the danger level will skyrocket.

After all, the Sith race's spacetime techniques were extremely sophisticated. In the original trajectory, even the Supreme Beings could not detect it. Even Ji Ning, who had comprehended the ultimate eternal sword path, could not find it when they were extremely close.

Therefore, Xia Mangqing could not guarantee that the Supreme One knew about the fragments he found in the ancient ruins, or that he had already dealt with them.

"Unfortunately, the records there are too vague and severely incomplete, only mentioning a few words. It doesn't mention the circumstances under which one can ascend. If one accidentally triggers it, it will be terrible."

"It seems we still need to explore the incarnation area further."

Xia Mangqing thought to himself that he had to be careful, as every one of those undiscovered ancient Sith lands was extremely dangerous.

Even though he is the ultimate Dao Lord, he is still too weak now. If he were to enter a forbidden zone where powerful Sith warriors still live, he would probably only face certain death.
