Chapter 396 – An Unexpected Turn of Events, The So-Called Lord of the Stars!
by spirapiraChapter 396 – An Unexpected Turn of Events, The So-Called Lord of the Stars!
In the Real World, Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly upon seeing this.
“The Primordial Energy Tree… can only be traced in the Seventh Heaven?”
This was beyond Su Xing’s expectations.
After all, the Seventh Heaven was far too dangerous!
Even the Sixth Heaven required Golden Immortal-level strength just to enter.
And the Seventh Heaven would likely require the Supreme Unity Golden Immortal realm to even attempt exploring… At the very least, one would need Peak Golden Immortal strength to take a look around the Seventh Heaven, and even then there would be mortal danger!
“But then again… the Primordial Energy Tree was a sacred tree of the Wu Clan from ancient times, and its fruit has long gone extinct in the present age.”
“It makes sense that only the ancient battlefields of the Nine Heavens Domain would hold any trace of it…”
Su Xing had long anticipated that cultivating the Great Shaman Body Forging Art would not be easy!
After all, this technique had been lost for ages and was a body-tempering method of the Wu Clan.
It was only because Su Xing’s progress in the Great Shaman Body Forging Art had been too smooth that he had overlooked this point.
Now, if the Primordial Energy Tree could not be found, Su Xing would never be able to break through to the Sixth Layer!
“My only option now… is to raise my Qi Refinement cultivation…”
Su Xing sighed, but placed his hopes on the gold talent Heart of the Strong.
“If I triggered Heart of the Strong on my body-tempering cultivation, could I forcefully break into the Sixth Layer of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art?”
Su Xing pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
It was probably impossible.
Even Heart of the Strong couldn’t conjure a Primordial Energy Tree out of thin air to help Su Xing break through to the Sixth Layer.
“Sigh… I can only focus on raising my cultivation first, and wait until I have Peak Golden Immortal combat power before exploring the Seventh Heaven!”
Su Xing knew that with his current strength, exploring the Seventh Heaven would be no different from seeking death.
Accumulating strength and then exploring the Seventh Heaven in one decisive push—that was the proper path!
“Therefore, my Qi Refinement cultivation must be raised to the Golden Immortal realm as quickly as possible!”
Su Xing felt a surge of anticipation. After reaching Golden Immortal, his strength would absolutely skyrocket!
At that point, he could explore the Seventh Heaven and obtain the Primordial Energy Tree.
With both body-tempering and Qi Refinement at the Golden Immortal realm… combined with Su Xing’s Spirit Domain, various talents, and Great Dao comprehension bonuses.
Only then would Su Xing possess strength infinitely close to a Supreme Unity Golden Immortal…
At that time, nowhere in the world would be beyond his reach!
Even against Red Moon lurking on Earth or Blood Three of the Advent Cult, Su Xing would not be without the power to fight!
“After reaching Golden Immortal, I can also make a trip to the Celestial Demon Prison… I must go see what the Celestial Demon General mentioned—the things left behind by Luotian Ancestor!”
Su Xing closed his eyes slightly, reviewing the goals in his mind one by one.
“Well then, let’s continue the simulation!”
“After this simulation… I’ll go all out to raise my Qi Refinement cultivation! And I need to acquire more origin energy!”
It was foreseeable that after Su Xing broke through to Golden Immortal, these mere few million origin energy would probably be nowhere near enough.
He had to stockpile more origin energy before reaching Golden Immortal to be properly prepared.
“The Star Realm—it’s time to pay it a visit!”
Su Xing’s gaze turned to the simulation panel.
【After breaking through to Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Fifth Layer (Perfection), your body-tempering strength could no longer advance.】
【So you began devoting more attention to cultivating your Spirit Domain.】
【Year 600: Your Spirit Domain range grew to 2,800 li (1,400 km)!】
【Year 700: Spirit Domain reached 3,000 li (1,500 km)!】
【Year 750: Your Qi Refinement cultivation finally barely broke through to Mystic Immortal Realm, Sixth Layer…】
【Year 800: Your Spirit Domain range grew to 3,300 li (1,650 km)!】
【That same year, the first great war between the Heavenly Secrets Domain and the alien races erupted…】
【Three years later, you were targeted by the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign.】
【You battled the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign for several months, but ultimately could not prevail. You transformed into a Lesser Demon Xenomorph and fled to a lesser chiliocosm from your memories.】
Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this.
“The first eight hundred years of cultivation tasks are complete… Now it’s time to raise the Lesser Demon disguise’s realm!”
Su Xing felt that the Lesser Demon disguise was truly the most cost-effective option available right now.
Not only did it carry high status and great potential among the alien races, it even came with a “hidden talent” for commanding the Lesser Demon Tribe.
More importantly, it didn’t require origin energy, saving Su Xing a considerable amount.
【After transforming into your Lesser Demon disguise, you were discovered by the Red-Pupiled Divine Sovereign and brought to the alien races’ Seventh Grand Legion to begin training.】
【In the blink of an eye, two hundred years passed.】
【Year 1,000: Your strength grew considerably. At the same time, under your influence, the Seventh Grand Legion suffered multiple setbacks in battle, greatly diminishing its power.】
【Year 1,200: You accumulated divine power and successfully reached the mid-stage of Medium Divine Power.】
【Year 1,500: Through a continuous supply of blood essence, you reached the late-stage of Medium Divine Power…】
【Not long after, the entire Seventh Legion launched an invasion of a Greater World. Knowing that joining this campaign would likely spell disaster, you chose not to go.】
【Year 1,600: The entire Seventh Grand Legion was annihilated. The White Emperor slew the first-rank Divine Sovereign, and his name resounded once more across the Three Thousand Worlds.】
【After losing the Seventh Grand Legion’s protection, you chose to join the Fifth Legion.】
【The Fifth Grand Legion was somewhat more powerful than the Seventh Grand Legion, with a greater number of alien Divine Sovereigns.】
【But relying on your identity as a divine Lesser Demon, you still secured the position of legion commander.】
【However, before you could settle in for long, the Fifth Legion also came under the White Emperor’s assault…】
【In this battle, the entire Fifth Grand Legion—hundreds of millions of alien soldiers—were wiped out by the human cultivators led by the White Emperor…】
【You did not escape…】
【You died!】
【Ding, this simulation has ended!】
After the simulation ended, Su Xing let out a sigh.
“As expected, the Lesser Demon disguise is followed by misfortune!”
“Although I survived the calamity at year 1,500, I still died at year 1,600…”
At year 1,500, the White Emperor struck and annihilated the Seventh Grand Legion.
At year 1,600, the White Emperor struck again and destroyed the Fifth Grand Legion!
Two consecutive strikes, separated by a mere hundred years.
From this, Su Xing seemed to glean some unusual information…
“At year 1,500, the Southern Barbarian Domain was completely invaded… The Celestial Demon General went to the Southern Barbarian Domain to exterminate the alien races!”
“And after that year, the White Emperor of the Heavenly Secrets Domain also began striking more frequently. Even Great Firmament Golden Immortals had no choice but to enter the fray ahead of schedule!”
Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly.
By all reasoning, veteran Great Firmament Golden Immortals like the Celestial Demon General and the White Emperor should be pursuing the endless path of the Dao!
With their experience and realm, while they wouldn’t go so far as to be indifferent to all living beings, the survival or destruction of an entire realm’s cultivators shouldn’t stir much in their hearts.
Yet these two had been continuously fighting against the alien races, even abandoning their pursuit of the Sage’s path!
“So… has the human race’s situation truly reached its moment of existential crisis after year 1,500?”
Su Xing keenly sensed that the Great Firmament Golden Immortals personally entering the fray seemed to signify a split between two major factions!
The first faction focused entirely on pursuing the Sage’s path, hoping to resist the alien races through individual transcendent power. For example, the Celestial Secrets Pavilion Master.
The second faction had Great Firmament Golden Immortals personally taking the field to prevent or delay the extinction of the human race!
“Perhaps… this was a decision among the Great Firmament Golden Immortals?”
Su Xing mused thoughtfully.
“Sigh, but the Lesser Demon’s talent is still too low. This simulation only cultivated to the late-stage of Medium Divine Power… There’s still quite a distance to Greater Divine Power!”
Su Xing made a rough estimate.
Medium Divine Power alien races had lifespans of approximately twenty thousand years.
And Su Xing’s Lesser Demon disguise had consumed roughly three thousand years of lifespan across three simulations.
“At least the Lesser Demon disguise won’t be in any mortal danger…”
Su Xing nodded slightly and turned his gaze to this simulation’s rewards.
【Illusion-Piercing Divine Eyes】: Gold talent, priced at 10 origin energy.
【Mystic Immortal Realm, Sixth Layer】: Condense the five qi within the chest. Five Qi converging upon the origin—only then may one ascend to the rank of Mystic Immortal! Priced at 1,000,000 origin energy.
【Spirit Domain Cultivation Results】: A 3,300-li (1,650 km) Spirit Domain, beginning to gradually transform from Spirit Domain to Spirit Realm level. The Spirit Domain’s influence on reality grows stronger. Priced at 130,000 origin energy.
【Great Shaman Body Forging Scripture, Perfection】: An ancient Wu Clan body-tempering secret art, cultivated to Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Fifth Layer (Perfection), granting terrifying strength comparable to Mystic Immortal Perfection. Priced at 1,500,000 origin energy.
“The Illusion-Piercing Divine Eyes are decent, but not strictly necessary… They’re only really effective when facing illusion techniques.”
Su Xing thought it over and decided that prioritizing his strength increase came first. He silently intoned:
“I choose to bring out the Great Shaman Body Forging Art results… and the Spirit Domain Cultivation Results!”
【Ding, you have successfully brought out the Great Shaman Body Forging Art cultivation results. Cost: 1,500,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 6,997,542…】
【You have successfully brought out the Spirit Domain Cultivation Results. Cost: 130,000 origin energy. Remaining origin energy: 6,867,542…】
As two consecutive chimes fell, Su Xing closed his eyes slightly as the aura around his body continuously surged!
His well-proportioned muscles trembled faintly, revealing a subtle reddish glow between the fibers.
Su Xing felt that his physical power, which had previously been approaching its limit, had just ascended another level!
A full fifty percent increase in strength gave Su Xing the terrifying, monstrous power to truly shatter a world with a single punch!
Physical durability, strength, recovery—in this moment, every aspect of his bodily constitution received a fifty percent boost.
Su Xing had finally reached Great Shaman Body Forging Art, Fifth Layer (Perfection)!
Just one step more, and he could break through to the Sixth Layer!
“Phew… The feeling of growing stronger is as wonderful as always!”
Su Xing exhaled lightly, feeling the brief sensation of tightness throughout his body from the massive improvement.
After briefly adjusting to the increase in strength, Su Xing carefully examined the changes in his Spirit Domain.
From a 2,000-li (1,000 km) Spirit Domain to 3,300 li (1,650 km)!
Su Xing was one step closer to a 10,000-li (5,000 km) Spirit Domain… with only two-thirds of the distance remaining.
“With the Great Shaman Body Forging Art at Fifth Layer Perfection… my overall strength has finally drawn infinitely close to late-stage Golden Immortal!”
Su Xing moved his body slightly, and his bones and tendons let out explosive, crackling sounds.
Moments later, having adapted to his dramatically strengthened body, Su Xing began planning his next steps.
“Right now, I still have over six million origin energy on hand…”
“If I’m frugal, that’s roughly enough for two simulations.”
“But I don’t have a single simulation charge left…”
“More critically, the Primordial Energy Tree… can only be found in the Seventh Heaven!”
“With my current strength, I’m not yet qualified to enter the Seventh Heaven…”
Su Xing closed his eyes slightly and began planning step by step.
“First, origin energy is definitely insufficient… Setting aside whether I can even find the Primordial Energy Tree, even if I do find it, my current origin energy isn’t enough to break through to the Sixth Layer!”
“Beyond that, raising my cultivation at the Golden Immortal stage will also require far more origin energy than I have…”
Su Xing’s current means of obtaining origin energy mainly came from the steady supply provided by the Lesser Azure Cloud Realm and Earth.
Three million origin energy per month was achievable… but not enough.
Therefore, he had to venture to more distant worlds and acquire more resources.
Su Xing’s current target was the Star Realm!
The Star Realm was relatively close to the Yellow Sand Realm, and at Su Xing’s current speed, he could arrive in roughly twenty-odd days.
Moreover, Star Stones were an excellent source of energy.
All Su Xing needed to offer was the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method, which he had already comprehended, so it cost him nothing.
Essentially, it was getting Star Stones for free!
“So, I must go to the Star Realm… to conduct a trade!”
Su Xing murmured, his gaze turning toward the endless void.
With his mind made up, Su Xing hesitated no further. He casually tore open a spatial rift and stepped into the void.
Then he mounted the Star-Moon Shuttle and sped toward the Star Realm…
…
In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed.
The date quickly arrived at June 28, 2026.
Su Xing gazed at the yellowish-brown planet in the distance but was in no hurry to enter.
According to his previous simulations, the Star Realm’s cultivators were extremely xenophobic and skilled in divination.
Su Xing first used disguise and breath-concealing techniques to transform himself into the appearance of a native Star Realm cultivator, then shielded his karmic secrets before entering the Star Realm.
…
One day later, in the Star Realm’s largest tribe—the Purple Star Tribe.
A powerfully built man wearing peculiar garments strolled through the tribe’s marketplace.
Celestial Vessels flying through the sky, towering skyscrapers built from exotic materials—everything displayed the cultivation civilization of the Star Realm’s tribes.
The cultivators walking the streets were mostly of sturdy, powerful build.
The average height of male cultivators was over two meters, while female cultivators stood at least one meter eighty.
Moreover, most had robust physiques, as they all practiced the path of Body Tempering alongside their cultivation.
Su Xing casually walked into a trading house, intending to first learn about the value and market prices of Star Stones.
“This fellow Daoist, you seem a bit unfamiliar?”
A shopkeeper with sallow skin and a wiry, muscular build sized up Su Xing, then stepped forward and asked in the Star Realm’s local dialect.
Su Xing gave a slight nod after hearing this, and replied in the Star Realm’s language:
“I’ve come from the Firefly Tribe, looking to procure a batch of Star Stones…”
The relationships between the Star Realm’s various tribes were delicate.
Su Xing knew that the Firefly Tribe was subordinate to the Purple Star Tribe. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he had no choice but to temporarily conceal his identity.
After hearing Su Xing’s explanation, the shopkeeper relaxed and said:
“May I ask what quality of Star Stones you’d like, and how many?”
“Our shop offers fair prices to all. Low-grade Star Stones are priced at one thousand high-grade spirit stones each, or equivalent value in trade goods…”
“Mid-grade Star Stones are priced at ten thousand high-grade spirit stones… As for high-grade Star Stones, they’re one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones each.”
Su Xing nodded slightly, now understanding the prices of Star Stones.
“Then I’ll take ten each of low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade Star Stones!”
Su Xing said, tossing over a storage bag.
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper’s face immediately lit up with delight—ten high-grade Star Stones was already considered a large order!
…
Before long, several dozen stones of varying sizes appeared in Su Xing’s hands.
Su Xing focused his thoughts and attempted to absorb these stones.
【Ding— Detected a small quantity of origin energy-containing materials, total value: 1,665 origin energy points…】
Hearing the simulator’s chime, Su Xing nodded slightly.
The value of Star Stones was indeed consistent with what Su Xing had previously learned.
One high-grade Star Stone was worth 150 origin energy points.
Mid-grade ones were worth fifteen origin energy points… while low-grade ones were worth 1.5 origin energy points.
If he were buying them with spirit stones, Su Xing would definitely be taking a massive loss.
But as long as he offered up the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method, Su Xing could easily obtain hundreds of thousands of Star Stones!
This was precisely Su Xing’s purpose in coming to this realm.
After confirming the value of Star Stones, Su Xing left the market district.
As dusk gradually fell, Su Xing took a single step forward and appeared inside the Purple Star Tribe’s grandest palace.
This palace was the resting place of the Purple Star Tribe’s chieftain and their Astrologer.
Su Xing made no particular effort to conceal his aura.
The moment he stepped into the palace, an aged voice reached his ears.
“Who dares trespass in my Purple Star Tribe’s Divination Temple?”
As the words echoed, an elderly man wearing star-patterned robes, his face deeply wrinkled and his hair white as snow, materialized several zhang away from Su Xing.
Su Xing wasted no time with pleasantries and simply said:
“Xingnu, sir—I have come here to make a deal with you, or rather, with the entire Star Realm!”
Su Xing knew the identity of the old man before him.
The strongest cultivator in the Star Realm—a practitioner who had cultivated to True Immortal Peak!
He had lived for tens of thousands of years… and was nearing the end of his lifespan.
This Astrologer known as “Xingnu” was also one of the most prestigious figures in the entire Star Realm.
Su Xing’s plan was naturally to produce the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method and trade it with the entire Star Realm.
While obtaining a massive amount of origin energy, Su Xing could also earn considerable goodwill.
After hearing Su Xing’s words, Xingnu furrowed his brows slightly and said:
“Hmph, what bold words!”
“Not only do you trespass in my Purple Star Temple… you claim you want to trade with the entire Star Realm? Who do you think you are—the Lord of the Stars?”
“This old man shall test just how much you’re really worth!”
With that, Xingnu lightly stamped his left foot, cratering the ground beneath him into a massive pit.
The old man clenched his left fist and struck toward Su Xing’s face at a terrifying speed.
Even though he was an Astrologer, specializing in spells and supernatural arts…
The Star Shaman Bloodline passed down from ancient times in the Star Realm still granted him a terrifying physical body.
His Body Tempering cultivation was no less than that of a True Immortal Peak body cultivator…
Faced with such a ferocious strike, an ordinary True Immortal would likely be gravely wounded in a single blow.
But Su Xing merely extended a single finger, lightly tapping against the old man’s fist wind.
In the next instant, the old man’s expression changed dramatically. He was sent staggering back dozens of steps before barely steadying himself, his back already drenched in cold sweat.
“You… what exactly are you?”
Xingnu’s face had gone pale, and he gasped violently several times, cold sweat pouring from every pore.
From that single exchange alone, he felt like a mayfly trying to shake a great tree.
Su Xing merely smiled faintly and said:
“As I said, I’ve come to trade with the Star Realm…”
Before he could finish, Su Xing seemed to sense something. He looked through the temple’s glazed ceiling toward the void above, at a shimmering point of light.
“Heh, now that’s a bit much, old man…”
Su Xing shook his head slightly, then flicked his finger. After that, nothing seemed to happen.
But at that very moment, the smile on Xingnu’s face—who had been quietly waiting—gradually froze, and he finally let out a voice of utter disbelief.
“No, this is impossible!”
“You—who exactly are you? How do you know our Star Realm’s Myriad Stars Attraction?!”
“And your mastery of stellar forces… is actually superior to mine!”
Xingnu’s voice was already trembling as he spoke.
In terms of raw physical strength, Xingnu was not the Star Realm’s foremost.
After all, he was old and frail, his vitality greatly diminished. Some prime-aged True Immortal cultivators at the late stage could potentially defeat him.
But when it came to Myriad Stars Attraction—the Star Realm’s supreme art—Xingnu was unquestionably number one!
With this supernatural art alone, the old man was confident he could threaten even a cultivator who had just entered the Mystic Immortal realm!
Yet now, Su Xing had defeated him in a manner beyond his wildest imagination!
With just a slight movement, a single glance, he had silently and effortlessly shattered the old man’s control over the stardust!
This was something he had never experienced before!
Seeing the old man’s deeply shaken state, Su Xing remained unhurried and simply said:
“Myriad Stars Attraction was passed down from the ancient Star Shaman race. It is an innate supernatural art within the Star Shaman Bloodline… and can also be cultivated through practicing the Great Shaman Body Forging Art!”
“The Star Shaman race—descendants of the Star Shaman among the ancient Twelve Ancestral Shamans… Due to conflicts between the Star Shaman and the other Ancestral Shamans, your ancestors fled the Wu Clan’s homeland and came to the lower realm…”
Su Xing’s casual remarks left the old man profoundly stunned.
Every word Su Xing had just spoken constituted the greatest secret of the entire Star Realm!
Even he—the highest-ranking and oldest cultivator in the Star Realm—had only glimpsed fragments from ancestral texts, nowhere near as detailed as what Su Xing had described.
“You… who exactly are you? How do you know all this in such detail?”
The way the old man looked at Su Xing had already changed, and a vague suspicion was forming in his mind.
Seeing this, Su Xing stopped being coy. He produced a jade slip and said:
“Who I am doesn’t matter… I’ve come here to trade!”
“As a show of sincerity, take a look at this and see if it interests you!”
As he spoke, Su Xing casually tossed the jade slip over.
The old man didn’t hesitate either, catching the jade slip directly and probing it with his divine sense.
And the moment he did, his expression underwent dramatic changes in rapid succession!
First came confusion…
Then solemnity… followed by shock!
Finally, this most venerable and prestigious Astrologer of the Star Realm, chieftain of the Purple Star Tribe, actually burst into tears!
“How could… how could it have returned?”
“The star observation art… our Star Shaman race’s greatest treasure! Why has it come back to us?!”
“Could it be… that the Heavenly Dao has taken pity on our Star Shaman race? And given us a chance to atone for our mistakes?!”
As the old man spoke, he was already sobbing uncontrollably, bearing no resemblance whatsoever to someone of his lofty station.
After confirming again and again that the Lesser Celestial Cycle Star Observation Method in his hands was truly an ancestral heirloom of the Star Shaman race…
The old man began to scrutinize Su Xing carefully.
Faintly, the old man seemed to sense, within Su Xing’s near-perfect physical body, an extremely familiar and intimate aura.
This was the instinctive resonance that Wu Clan descendants felt toward the body of an Ancestral Shaman!
Furthermore, the old man seemed to perceive, within Su Xing’s eyes, an endless expanse of starry sky.
Finally, his expression changed dramatically, as if something had dawned on him.
“You… could you be the legendary Lord of the Stars?”
“The Lord of the Stars… has finally come? Do you know… how long we have waited?”
As he spoke, the old man actually dropped to his knees before Su Xing, pressing both hands to the ground as though performing some sacred rite of worship.
Su Xing frowned slightly and subtly stepped back half a pace, about to say something.
But the old man exclaimed excitedly:
“Yes, it must be!”
“The Lord of the Stars has surely returned…”
“If not the Lord of the Stars, who could sever my Myriad Stars Attraction with a mere wave of the hand?”
“And then there’s this faint resonance in the Bloodline… the ocean of stars within those eyes… and that subtle, unmistakable suppression—the Lord of the Stars has definitely returned!”
The old man continued muttering to himself, already showing signs of frenzied delirium.
Fearing the old man might harm himself, Su Xing flicked his finger, sending a calming spell into the elder’s chest.
Only then did the old man snap out of his increasingly manic state.
At this point, Su Xing said:
“I don’t know what you mean by ‘Lord of the Stars.'”
“I may not… be the Lord of the Stars you speak of!”
Su Xing searched his memories, and it seemed that even in his previous simulations, this so-called Lord of the Stars had never appeared.
Whether this Lord of the Stars title was a good thing or a bad thing, Su Xing wasn’t yet certain…
What if the Lord of the Stars was burdened with some obligation to lead the Star Realm to glory? Wouldn’t that be a terrible deal for him?
But no matter how Su Xing tried to explain, the old man simply wouldn’t listen, stubbornly insisting that Su Xing was the Lord of the Stars!
After explaining for a while and seeing the old man remained unconvinced, Su Xing had a change of thought and asked:
“This Lord of the Stars you speak of—what would be required of him? And what benefits would there be?”
Su Xing’s question was so blunt that the old man was actually stunned speechless for a good while.
After a long pause, the old man slowly shook his head and said:
“Lord of the Stars, Your Lordship… you need not do anything!”
“Because you are the supreme and sole sovereign of the Ancestral Star… and the hope of all us Star Shaman descendants!”
“You need not do anything at all… Being permitted to follow in your wake is already the greatest honor for us Star Shaman descendants and the ten thousand tribes of the Star Realm!”
“Our only wish is that after you reclaim your supreme station, you might lead us back to the Ancestral Star…”
After a pause, the old man continued:
“As for the benefits you mentioned… please forgive us, Lord of the Stars—we cannot offer you any benefits…”
“After all, the entire Star Realm… all ten thousand tribes are your servants… and how could servants offer benefits to their master?”
Hearing the first part, Su Xing had been quite disappointed.
If there were no benefits to be had, why would Su Xing bother taking on this so-called Lord of the Stars title?
But when he heard the second part…
Su Xing was dumbstruck!
The entire Star Realm belonged to the Lord of the Stars?
Su Xing’s mind went momentarily blank…
Though he was a mighty Mystic Immortal cultivator, Su Xing had always been essentially a solitary rogue cultivator. Compared to other Mystic Immortals, his status was far inferior!
But now, Su Xing had suddenly become the Lord of the Stars!
The entire Star Realm was his!
This was being the true sovereign of an entire realm!
The Star Realm… this was a powerful world comparable to a Medium Chiliocosm!
Within this world were several True Immortals… dozens of Celestial Immortals… and above the immortal rank, thousands upon thousands more!
Moreover, every cultivator in the Star Realm possessed Wu Clan Bloodline and practiced Body Tempering alongside their main cultivation, making their combat prowess exceptionally formidable.
And then there were all the Star Stones the entire Star Realm produced…
Thinking of all this, Su Xing let out a sigh, gave a gentle nod, and gazed up at the sweeping starry sky at a forty-five-degree angle, exhaling a long, wistful breath:
“Alas~ my true identity could not remain hidden after all!”
“That’s right… I am indeed the legendary Lord of the Stars!”
