Chapter 964: Chapter 386: Lightly Spread, Cheaply Valued
In the endless void connecting the present world with the Galaxy Battlefield, where no one can see, stands a lofty building that reaches both skyward and earthward.
Countless Starlight stretches out like tentacles, reaching in all directions.
Yet, countless Starlight also returns from all directions, seemingly probing all changes.
This is the unknown Star-picking Tower Main Building.
It was the top floor of the Star-picking Tower, personally established by Emperor Jidao in those days to suppress this world.
The roof of this Star-picking Tower Main Building, though called a top floor, resembles the Star Dome’s apex, with countless Starlight, bright and dim, flashing and flowing, signifying the multitude of changes in this world.
In this world, changes happen often, within a breath’s time manifesting numerous variations, making the cherry lips of the Star Dome in Star-picking Tower resemble flickering stars, so stunningly beautiful.
Suddenly, in the southern position of the Star Dome’s apex, a star lights up, emerging swiftly from the cluster of stars.
In just a few breaths, its brightness surpasses all.
In the instant this star’s brightness soared, the brightness of a vast area of other stars in the southern part of the Star Dome’s apex also massively increased.
Originally, the brightest cluster was in the east of this Star Dome.
But as this star was thoroughly illuminated, the brightest Star Domain in the sky of this world instantly became the south.
This moment when the star brightened was precisely when the Sect Hierarch of Baidou Divine Sect broke through the Ninth Tier.
Due to this extreme change in brightness, the entire Star-picking Tower Main Building slightly trembled.
In the vast Star Sea, an aura was awakened by the tremor of the Star-picking Tower Main Building, and in an instant, a point of brightness crossed the river, arriving above the Star Dome of this world.
"Star-picking Tower Main Building anomaly?
Has a star been completely illuminated?
Is it that a junior has broken through to the Ninth Tier?
This is rather quick."
In that point of Starlight, the calm voice carried a slight hint of delight, it was none other than the creator of the Star-picking Tower Main Building, Emperor Jidao.
Although he had long left this world, due to the Star-picking Tower Main Building, he could still sense some major events in this world.
But when he connected with the Star-picking Tower Main Building to investigate the details, the Starlight suddenly shivered.
It wasn’t his disciple!
The disciple among his legacy who held hope of breaking through the Ninth Tier still hadn’t lit the star.
Was it not his disciple who broke through the Ninth Tier?
Could it be one of those two?
After some thought, Emperor Jidao flicked out two points of Starlight, and the two dots of Starlight swiftly fled into the Star Sea.
Where he was, the Starlight faded and turned into a magnificent palace; he sat there in the palace on a cushion, yet remained a vague silhouette of Starlight, within which only a fly whisk could be vaguely seen.
No sun or moon in the sky, time transformed unpredictably.
Perhaps in the blink of an eye, or maybe after several days, suddenly two beams of Starlight jumped from the Galaxy, one after another falling into this palace of Starlight.
Emperor Jidao waved the fly whisk in acknowledgment.
"I congratulate you both." Emperor Jidao said as the two seated themselves.
"This...for what joy?"
The recently seated Emperor Xuancheng and Emperor Huaqing were both stunned, somewhat puzzled.
"A few days ago, there was an anomaly in the Dao-establishing artifact I left in this world, a star soared skyward as a moon hovering mid-air, and with a slight sense, I found someone breaking through the Ninth Tier, initially condensing the life star, influencing the fate of one side.
But none of my disciples have broken through.
So it must be one of your disciples, I came to congratulate you." Emperor Jidao said.
"This....."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuancheng and Emperor Huaqing simultaneously activated their respective Secret Technique to sense, and after a few breaths, both opened their eyes, in the instant their eyes opened, numerous rays of Starlight flashed but they shook their heads simultaneously.
In an instant, Emperor Jidao was somewhat surprised, "Not my disciple, nor one of your disciples, yet a life star as a moon hangs in the sky."
Waving the fly whisk, Emperor Jidao projected the scene of the Star-picking Tower Main Building’s Star Dome before the two.
The Emperors faced each other in bewilderment.
Indeed, a life star condensed emerged suspended in the air, but it belonged to none of the disciples from their three families.
"Jidao, this world was your base for achieving Dao, you know it best! If it’s not a disciple of our three legacies, who else could forge a life star, like a moon hanging in the sky?" Emperor Huaqing asked.
Emperor Jidao pondered slightly, then said, "This world, as you should know, is incredibly complex, of great origin, with vast roots, otherwise would you have laid plans here for millennia, to rival me."
Emperor Xuancheng and Emperor Huaqing nodded in agreement.
"Hence, the legacy capable of achieving a life star in this world is not limited to our three families!
But now the achievement of a life star is only as a moon hanging in the sky.
If allowed further advancement, like a Great Sun patrolling the sky, then our millennium-long struggle among the three forces would ultimately dress others, would that not be laughed at by fellow cultivators." Emperor Jidao said.
"Indeed so! But I never expected, this disciple could be so disappointing! It’s likely he took the petty path of scheming for power and profit, forgetting the simplicity of the grand Dao." Emperor Huaqing said.
"Finally managed to unseal the mountain gate, yet it’s a bunch of useless things! If not for the uniqueness of this world, I’d rather ignore it." Emperor Xuancheng said.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jidao swept the fly whisk but remained silent.
"Jidao, what do you intend to do?" After a while, Emperor Xuancheng asked suddenly.
"This place is my base for Dao attainment, naturally can’t let it become someone else’s adornment. But due to our prior agreement, I called you both here.
