Free Web NovelChapter 646: Chapter 423: Star Sea
[In the year 6623 of the New Source Era, Lin Xiao was pursued and, with his early-stage Golden Core cultivation, reversed the attack against a late-stage Golden Core, becoming a rising star throughout the Cultivation Realm.]
.........
[In the year 6865 of the New Source Era, Lin Xiao successfully broke through to the late-stage Golden Core.]
[In the year 6872 of the New Source Era, Lin Xiao was pursued once again, and while utilizing the Celestial Maiden Sword Array you left behind to injure the enemy, he ’accidentally’ stumbled into a space transmission array, venturing into a new world, the Endless Sea...]
Was it really an accident for Lin Xiao?
Of course not.
How could it be such a coincidence?
Everything was guided by Zhong Heng.
As Lin Xiao’s cultivation gradually increased, Zhong Heng became more and more familiar with this world.
This world refers to itself as Jiuzhou.
The topography and geography, however, are entirely different from the real Jiuzhou.
Or rather, apart from the Central State, there is no specific division of Jiuzhou at all...
This is like Jiuzhou before Emperor Yu defined it.
The Human Race occupies only a part of the Central State.
Yet, the Luoshu World seems like a mix.
Before Jiuzhou was even established, there was already the concept of Jiuzhou, and in this realm, the Demon Race could only hibernate in a small area in the northwest.
The Human Race occupied the entire world early on.
During the era of Emperor Fuxi and Emperor Yu, the Human Race and the Demon Race were only just beginning to stand against each other.
For example, the ultra-long-distance teleportation array that Zhong Heng detected.
It transported one to a vast, endless sea.
There are several renowned seas within Jiuzhou, and even within the surrounding Endless Sea of Jiuzhou, there are powerful sea races and sea cultivators.
However, because Jiuzhou absorbed the essence of the entire world, these marine beings are not too formidable.
To ordinary people and low-level cultivators, it appears as an endless ocean.
But in the eyes of high-level cultivators, it’s nothing more than a slightly larger pond.
However, in the history of Jiuzhou.
There was an inland sea that marked a significant part of Jiuzhou’s history.
It was between the Central State, Changzhou, and Wuzhou, occupying a third of the area of the three states, known as the Star Sea of Jiuzhou’s inland sea.
When the Star Sea existed, the Human Race was still in a state of decline, or perhaps only had the courage to perish with the Demon Race.
The Human Race rose from this vast Star Sea.
The sea races and Demon Race often clashed, reaching stalemates, and the Human Race survived in the cracks, forming their first autonomous region near the roads leading to the Central State.
They even allied with the sea races to fight against the Demon Race.
However, in later history, during a battle of great powers, the sea was boiled dry and the land shattered.
The Star Sea disappeared since then.
Zhong Heng’s consciousness awakened upon sensing the faint aura behind the transmission array.
"Star Sea..."
"According to legend...the Cosmic Star Seventy-Two Pearls exist within the Star Sea, a supreme treasure born under Heavenly Destiny..."
A Supreme Treasure, at least an Innate Supreme Treasure, which can be compared to the River Map and Luo Book, although there is a gap between supreme treasures.
The River Map and Luo Book are undoubtedly the highest-level treasures that can determine the fate of Jiuzhou.
The Cosmic Star Seventy-Two Pearls together might only reach the lowest tier of such treasures.
Cosmic Star Seventy-Two Pearls.
Legend has it that these were refined from seventy-two small worlds outside of Jiuzhou, suppressing every corner of the Star Sea.
It is said that within the seventy-two pearls lies seventy-two vast seas.
The Seventy-Two Pearls, like seventy-two stars, suppressed the Qi Fortune of the entire sea.
Perhaps the treasure is slightly lower in grade than the River Map and Luo Book, but apart from those, there are few treasures that surpass it.
Only lifebound immortal artifacts refined by a few Golden Immortals can compare.
"It’s a pity that the whereabouts of this treasure remain unknown after that great war..."
"This land was created based on the Luo Book, a counterfeit Jiuzhou."
"I want to see if your Star Sea contains something like the Seventy-Two Pearls."
Zhong Heng murmured softly in the Space Magic Cube.
Zhong Heng divided a strand of Divine Thought and attached it to the still unconscious Lin Xiao.
After sensing that thread of aura, Zhong Heng transported Lin Xiao to this place, not only to see if the legendary Seventy-Two Pearls existed, but also to see if Lin Xiao could improve further here.
After all, according to legend, the Star Sea was undoubtedly a cultivation treasure land in that barbaric age.
The limit of Lin Xiao’s original Cultivation Realm was the Golden Core.
Obtaining the Nascent Soul Pill was nearly impossible.
It’s time to change the map, allowing Lin Xiao to continue growing in a place where he can encounter more cultivators and power.
Once Lin Xiao becomes a Nascent Soul, Zhong Heng will act without reservations.
At present, Zhong Heng avoids taking action unless absolutely necessary, preferring to lay low until the end.
The unconscious Lin Xiao’s awareness was still sinking.
Several figures discovered Lin Xiao.
When Lin Xiao woke up, he saw an impeccably blue sky.
He had never encountered such a blue sky before.
A cool breeze with a hint of saltiness brushed against his face.
Lin Xiao’s eyes slowly widened.
"Sea...Sea?"
There was certainly no sea near Lin Xiao’s hometown.
He had only read in some ancient books that there are bodies of water more vast than any river or lake, the ocean.
Lin Xiao’s Divine Sense instinctively extended outward.
With the cultivation technique taught by Zhong Heng, Lin Xiao’s cultivation had virtually no shortcomings.
His Essence, Qi, and Spirit were among the best in his realm.
