Chapter 170, The Realm of Stars
In the virtual universe, an email disrupted Longyu Wang's secluded life of cultivation, and she subsequently found Ye Muxuan, who was cultivating in Chaos City.
The email was sent by Venerable Niu Zhou. It said that the gate to the temple on the Primordial Star No. 02005, which houses the supreme treasure of the Star Realm, has been opened!
In recent years, Ye Muxuan's main body has been cultivating his self-created secret techniques in Chaos City, while his five clones have been divided into four groups to compete for treasures on the Primordial Star. He has also been keeping an eye on information from the Star Realm and rarely appears in the virtual universe. Therefore, he entrusts all his movements to Longyu King for attention.
He had once mentioned to Venerable Niu Zhou that if he found information about the opening of the Star Realm, he could tell King Longyu, who would then find him in Chaos City.
The attention of the top cosmic overlord, Shadow Blade Venerable, also let Niu Zhou Venerable know that he had definitely obtained the Nine-Colored Star, a token of the Starry Sky Realm. He was originally skilled in intelligence gathering, and now that Ye Muxuan needed it, he naturally wouldn't be negligent—for just one piece of information to exchange for a top-tier treasure weapon, Niu Zhou Venerable would be doing justice to his reputation if he didn't go all out!
He boasts that he is the undisputed number one in intelligence gathering among the Venerables!
Even Ye Muxuan, who had four clones wandering around the original star, was unaware of this news, which shows the power of the Niu Zhou Venerable.
Upon receiving the news, the clone of the Jadeite, carrying a collection of treasures, headed to Primal Star 02005. It took several days, passing through seven Primal Stars along the way, before finally arriving at its destination.
Many powerful figures had already gathered in front of the temple, including top cosmic overlords and cosmic lords.
The arrival of the Thousand-Beast made some powerful figures wary. Recently, this Thousand-Beast clone of the human Mu Xuan has indeed been making waves on the Primordial Star. Over the past thousand years, it has successively snatched treasures from several universe overlords and top universe overlords. Not long ago, it even killed a universe overlord of the Nine Domains Alliance because of a soul treasure.
It seems that his strength has increased dramatically after becoming a Venerable One. He has also changed his previous situation of rarely taking action. When a treasure is born, he no longer stands by as an observer, but actively participates and reaps great rewards.
The news that has already spread indicates that in the past thousand years, Chan Jun has acquired four high-grade supreme weapons, three domain supreme treasures, one soul supreme treasure, two palace supreme treasures, and a top-tier treasure set. This is the total wealth that several top overlords possess, and he has obtained it in just a thousand years.
Ignoring the attention of numerous powerful figures—the temple gates have already opened, and those without a token dare not enter the temple—Ye Muxuan now holds a purple sphere in his hand, which is the purple star among the nine-colored stars.
Holding the purple star, he had just stepped into the temple gate when Qing Sui's clone appeared and was blocked at the gate.
In this temple, a token can only enter one divine body, not even an avatar of the same consciousness.
The first and last clone of the Azure Dragon was not the first; the gates of the Starry Realm's temple would remain open for a month. The Azure Dragon clone directly retrieved the Rock Prison, entered it, and stationed itself there.
We have already received news from Venerable Niu Zhou that a Universe Lord from the Three Mountains Alliance and three Universe Overlords from the Northern Frontier Alliance have entered the temple. Qing Sui's clone is guarding this place to see who else will enter.
Similarly, the other powerful figures also knew about the avatar of the Thousand-Headed Demon who entered with the token in hand.
……
At the summit of Thunder Island, amidst the swirling chaotic currents, the Chaos City Lord, having received the intelligence, smiled and shook his head.
After obtaining the Netherworld Sword Seal, he also obtained the Nine-Colored Star. You could only say he's a really lucky little guy.
However, the Starry Sky Realm is a treasure of the same level as his Thousand Treasures River. There might be a difference in quality, but it shouldn't be significant. Since he's willing to take the plunge, let him go. Even if he doesn't get it in the end, it won't matter.
It's impossible for the human race to obtain the token every time such a treasure appears, nor is it possible for the giant axe to intervene every time, and it's even more impossible for the giant axe to obtain the treasure every time it intervenes.
The last time, the Lord of the Primordial Island was also the strongest in the universe, but he still failed to obtain the Netherworld Mirror when he entered the Netherworld Palace.
Nearly two million years have passed since the Primordial Star was opened, and treasures of the same level as those in the Star Realm have been opened seven times. The human race has only obtained tokens twice, and finally obtained a top-level palace treasure. The other five times, they did not even obtain tokens, so they were not qualified to enter.
The only treasure of value exceeding that of the Starry Realm was the Netherworld Mirror, which was obtained through Mu Xuan's Netherworld Sword Seal. This already makes humanity the biggest winner since the opening of the Primordial Star. In fact, because the most precious treasure has already appeared, most universe lords are too lazy to go to the Primordial Star and have turned their attention to the Cosmic Sea instead.
Only the universe lords of weaker races and a small number of powerful individuals who have recently become universe lords, whose treasures are not particularly valuable and who find it too dangerous to go to the cosmic sea, continue to compete for treasures on the primordial star.
……
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Qing Sui, who remained outside, also received the intelligence. Of the eighteen powerful individuals who entered the temple this time, the strongest was the Universe Lord of the Three Mountains Alliance, and there were two other Universe Lords, including him. Among the remaining powerful individuals, there were three top-tier Universe Overlords, including Han Jun, twelve other Universe Overlords, and the only High-Level Venerable.
Among these eighteen powerful individuals, Han Jun is the only human powerhouse. The others are from various race alliances, including the Nine Domains Alliance, the Three Mountains Alliance, the Crimson Flame Alliance, the Ancestral God Sect, and the Northern Frontier Alliance, which even has three universe overlords. The only high-level Venerable is the personal disciple of the Universe Lord, the leader of the powerful race "Tuoma Clan".
However, after reviewing the information of the remaining seventeen powerful individuals, if there are no errors or omissions, their chances of winning the Starry Sky Realm's Jadeite are still quite high. After all, the Jadeite clone brought the Wind and Rain Pavilion and the Void Star Lake with him this time, and none of these powerful individuals possess top-tier palace treasures. Even their domain treasures are only of high quality for one of them, while the others only possess ordinary treasures or even top-tier heavy treasures.
The temple gates closed, and the purple barrier in front of the avatar of the Thousand Jade, who had been sitting cross-legged on a platform for more than twenty days, slowly dissolved.
All the powerful individuals who enter the temple will proceed along the passage to a platform. At this point, the tokens they carry will transform into a barrier, blocking their advance.
After the gate closed, the temple was isolated from the outside world, and even the information transmitted by the Qing Sui clone could no longer be received by the Chan Jie clone.
As the purple barrier in front of them dissolved, a stone tablet rose from the platform, its surface adorned with patterns outlined in purple runes. The message it conveyed was that only those who found and killed the holder of the token of the same color would be qualified to enter the next gate.
The giant eye of the swan blinked. According to the information that Qing Sui had previously transmitted, the powerful being who also possessed the purple star was a high-ranking Venerable of the Natoma clan.
The clone of the celestial beast looked at another platform, where the barrier was purple.
On the eighteen platforms present, the various colored barriers in front of them were slowly dissolving, and the powerful figures behind the barriers all had solemn expressions. The moment the barriers completely disappeared, the Cracked Mace in Han Jun's hand drew two earthen-yellow arcs and slammed heavily into the high-level Venerable in the distance.
……
P.S.: I have a question. Does anyone know exactly how many Venerables there are among the human race (excluding the Hongmeng)? Not vague terms like "several thousand," but something with original source material, not fan fiction or rumors circulating among readers. I haven't found the relevant original text. If any reader has found it, please let me know. Thank you.
