Chapter 147 Stars

Moonlight was like water, and under the night sky, the stars twinkled.

Tianjiao City, which had no curfew, was brightly lit even at night, and the streets were filled with people.

However, as the night deepened, the crowds slowly dispersed.

Zhu Dahai slowly closed the door, saw the Fourth Prince off, and then turned back.

In the small courtyard.

An Qisheng sat cross-legged, teasing the golden-winged Great Peng chick with his fingers.

This little fellow's origin was depleted, extremely weak. It couldn't even catch a centipede that scurried over. An Qisheng stabilized its vitality bit by bit with his fingers.

"Little one, he's gone."

Zhu Dahai was getting more and more burly, sitting nearly two meters tall. All the pills he had absorbed had grown on his body without exception.

"What good stuff did he bring you this time?"

Looking at Zhu Dahai's simple and honest smile, An Qisheng shook his head slightly.

Since that day, the Tianding Emperor had not seen him again, but the Fourth Prince came almost every day, each time bringing some rare books and secret transmissions to discuss with An Qisheng.

Sometimes, he would bring the Fourteenth Princess along.

Although he knew their intentions, An Qisheng did not refuse. At least for now, he had no ill feeling towards the three of them.

Although he still didn't think highly of the Tianding Emperor, compared to the many cultivators he had killed on the road to Tianjiao City, the three of them could indeed be considered 'good people'.

They had never shown any hostility towards him. With his state of mind, even great powers could not hide their killing intent in front of him.

"Good stuff."

Zhu Dahai scratched the back of his head: "I ate it."

Each day the Fourth Prince came, this guy would get a bit more burly. Over time, he was much more imposing than before.

"Go meditate. Pill energy should not linger in the stomach."

An Qisheng waved his hand, and the honest, big fellow obediently sat cross-legged to the side, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.

Although he wasn't too smart, it was precisely because he had few thoughts that his cultivation was extremely fast. His displayed talent was probably no less than Yuan Duxiu's.

"This civilization clearly has methods to become long-lived species, but why are there no long-lived species..."

In An Qisheng's ears, the Three-Heart Blue Spirit Child chattered on.

There were far more people in Tianjiao City than in Blue Water City, and many more cultivators. Although An Qisheng had not been in Tianjiao City for too long, he had captured countless spiritual imprints in the world.

This blue-skinned little guy had been immersed in the ocean of information these days. When it woke up, it had this question.

It couldn't understand.

"Don't you have any records of this world in your memory?"

An Qisheng asked in his heart.

The world coordinates of the Wanyang Realm were extracted from Russell's fragmented memories, which spoke volumes.

But strangely, there was no record of the Wanyang Realm in the Three-Heart Blue Spirit Child's memory.

"No."

The Three-Heart Blue Spirit Child replied: "I will not forget anything. Any information I capture will become part of my body."

"That's a bit strange..."

A ripple arose in An Qisheng's heart.

"This world has great secrets, Mr. Monster, please let me out."

The Three-Heart Blue Spirit Child pleaded again.

This feeling of having doubts that couldn't be resolved was too unbearable for it.

"Not for the time being."

An Qisheng refused it as usual.

The Three-Heart Blue Spirit Child didn't have much hope to begin with. Hearing An Qisheng's tone seem a bit softer, it was immediately overjoyed: "Not for the time being? Then Mr. Monster, when can I come out?"

An Qisheng flicked his finger, nudging the drowsy chick into the bird's nest on the tree. He slowly lowered his eyes and began to deduce the Lingxiang realm.

His True Form had already been cultivated to the fifth step equivalent to myriad dharmas, only one step away from the sixth step comparable to a Dongtian (Daoist Paradise).

In this world's cultivation, a Dongtian (Daoist Paradise) could increase lifespan by three thousand years. In Xuanxing, it would be no exaggeration to call it becoming an immortal.

But this step could not be easily crossed.

Therefore, switching to cultivating Lingxiang (Spirit Form) was naturally reasonable.

It didn't matter which realm to cultivate, nor did it matter whether to cultivate all nine realms or a single realm, because what he cultivated was essentially his own 'Taiji' Dao.

Sensing the aura in An Qisheng's body beginning to change again, the Three-Heart Blue Spirit Child felt a faint palpitation before hearing An Qisheng's voice:

"It shouldn't be too long."

......

An Qisheng's days were peaceful and uneventful.

With the support of Dongtian (Daoist Paradise), and more importantly, the support of Xuanji and others, his cultivation needs were temporarily worry-free.

He lived a leisurely life, deducing True Form, comprehending Lingxiang (Spirit Form), and tempering his body every day. In his spare time, he would also enter the Dongtian (Daoist Paradise) to guide Zheng Longqiu and others.

The Fourth Prince still came, but from once a day at the beginning, it changed to once every three days. Occasionally, the Fourteenth Princess and other princes would also come together.

In a flash, several months passed.

On this day, as soon as the sky dawned, the door of the medicine hall was knocked again. Zhu Dahai opened the door as usual, and the Fourth Prince and Fourteenth Princess walked in.

As usual, a so-so pill was thrown to Zhu Dahai.

The latter didn't even look at it, just smelled it and stuffed it into his mouth, smiling so wide that his mouth couldn't close. In the past, it was very difficult for him to eat even one pill.

The two walked into the small courtyard.

Buzz~

The moment they entered the small courtyard, the two suddenly heard a buzzing sound in their hearts.

Their eyes flickered, and they sensed the tide of starlight erupting within the courtyard. This starlight was rolling and vast, its momentum extremely turbulent.

But strangely, it only filled this small courtyard and did not spread to the outside world at all.

Then, the countless starlight flowed back, only flowing within three zhang (approx. 10 feet) of An Qisheng.

Gradually, the starlight dimmed, as if dawn had arrived, but there came a rumbling sound, the sound getting louder and louder, not rippling outwards, but shaking the space of the entire courtyard.

"This is, Lingxiang (Spirit Form)?"

The Fourth Prince's eyes flickered. He knew that 'Yuanyang' only cultivated True Form. At this time, had he changed his path?

But before he could take a closer look, the starry sky map had disappeared and merged into An Qisheng's body.

In the fleeting glimpse, he seemed to see thousands of stars flashing in the starry sky. Faintly, he seemed to see mountains rising and falling and continental textures on those 'stars'.

He was slightly surprised.

Star River True Form, Star Sea Lingxiang (Spirit Form). Did he want to evolve all the stars into Dongtian (Daoist Paradise)?

The Fourth Prince was taken aback by his guess, but then he felt it was impossible.

The more Dongtian (Daoist Paradise) the better wasn't true, it was even better to have fewer, because one Dongtian (Daoist Paradise) meant one tribulation. If one condensed ten Dongtian (Daoist Paradise), one would have to experience ten Dongtian (Daoist Paradise) tribulations!

Throughout history, there had been many people who cultivated multiple Dongtian (Daoist Paradise), such as Guanglong Supreme, who was said to have condensed ten Dongtian (Daoist Paradise), and his attacks were like ten suns rising in the sky.

But according to legend, even the Supreme could not control ten Dongtian (Daoist Paradise). Guanglong Supreme's sudden disappearance was speculated by some to be due to the Dongtian (Daoist Paradise) tribulation.

Ten Dongtian (Daoist Paradise) were already like this. He didn't believe anyone would dare to condense thousands of Dongtian (Daoist Paradise), not to mention whether they had such supernatural powers or such resources.

Just the Dongtian (Daoist Paradise) tribulation alone, no one could withstand it.

"Huff~"

An Qisheng slowly exhaled a breath. After the Lingxiang (Spirit Form) was formed, the True Form was like the finishing touch, not necessarily having a huge transformation, but undoubtedly driving it more spiritually.

With the combination of the two, his physique had changed again.

Faintly, the condensing of the Body Flowers had reached the last half step. It seemed that he could condense them with a thought, but he didn't want to condense them at this time.

The moment the Divine Body was condensed would be the best time for him to bloom the Body Flowers.

"Congratulations, sir, on achieving Lingxiang (Spirit Form)."

The Fourth Prince cupped his hands, congratulating with a smile: "Cultivating a single realm can already suppress many Myriad Dharma realm experts from major sects. With the formation of Lingxiang (Spirit Form), sir is not a Dongtian (Daoist Paradise), but is better than one."

"Why are you calculating like that, Fourth Brother?"

The Fourteenth Princess rolled her eyes: "If we calculate like you, Mr. Yuan has cultivated the True Form to the fifth step. If he only needs to cultivate the Lingxiang (Spirit Form) to the fourth step, wouldn't he be comparable to the Supreme?"

After several months of getting along, everyone was a bit familiar with each other, and they spoke much more casually now.

Of course, they were inherently like this, and they didn't have much restraint when speaking to their current number one father in the world, let alone any restraint in front of others.

"It's different, it's different."

The Fourth Prince just shook his head. He had already condensed a Dongtian (Daoist Paradise), and his vision was naturally different from the Fourteenth Princess.

He could feel that a change had occurred in An Qisheng, although he didn't know the specifics, it was definitely not a subtle change.

"You two have been running back and forth for several months. It's been hard on you."

After exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, An Qisheng's eyes were clear: "Giving gifts to others must be for a reason. Tell me."

He didn't agree with what the Tianding Emperor said, but that didn't mean he had any good feelings towards the sects and holy lands of Dongzhou.

In fact, there were no less than ten experts from sects and holy lands who had tracked him to Tianjiao City, and there were even great experts hiding in the dark.

If it weren't for their fear of the Tianding Emperor, they would have already taken action.

"Sir is straightforward."

The Fourteenth Princess spoke first: "This matter is a long story, but it is naturally still related to the sects and holy lands. This has to start with the Zhuwangtai (Platform of Kings)..."

This girl, who seemed quiet when playing chess that day, was actually very talkative.

Soon, she had said almost everything.

The focus was still on the Zhuwangtai (Platform of Kings).

The Zhuwangtai (Platform of Kings) was a fortuitous encounter obtained by the Tianding Emperor. It was said that it contained the inheritances of many kings and marquises, and even king-level spirit treasures.

It was even rumored to have clues to a Supreme spirit treasure.

Even, this spirit treasure, suspected to be refined by a Supreme, although its level was not Supreme, it exceeded all the king-level spirit treasures of the major sects and holy lands.

It was an important means for the Tianding Emperor to fight against the major holy lands.

However, a thousand years ago, although the Tianding Emperor escaped the pursuit of the Li Tian Holy Land, facing the step-by-step pressure from the three major holy lands and sects, he still agreed to them opening the Zhuwangtai (Platform of Kings).

In two years, no matter what, experts from the major sects and holy lands would come to Tianjiao City.

"We have retreated again and again, but we have no way to retreat anymore."

The Fourteenth Princess's expression became solemn: "My father has deduced that in two years he will usher in a great tribulation, starting from the Zhuwangtai (Platform of Kings)..."

"Sir doesn't want to join us, we won't force you, we only ask sir to help us once. The Zhuwangtai (Platform of Kings) is not a Supreme treasure, but it also has Supreme formations, patterns, and aura within it. It is the only means for Tianjiao City to resist the Supreme treasures of the three major holy lands..."

The Fourth Prince bowed deeply, his attitude extremely sincere:

"Please, sir, agree."

"Zhuwangtai (Platform of Kings)..."

An Qisheng's eyes flickered, and he had some questions: "It is said that the Tianding Kingdom has gathered many large and small sects, and loose cultivator experts. There seems to be no need to ask me to take action, right?"

The strength of the Tianding Kingdom was not bad.

In today's era of drastic changes in the world, where no one could be conferred as a marquis or king, the Tianding Emperor was the number one at the time, and he also subdued many large and small sects.

Its strength was much stronger than the Myriad Dharma Tower, the Refining Dharma Platform, and the Extinguishing Emotions Dao.

Perhaps it was not much worse than the Taiyi Sect, the number one sect under the three major holy lands.

"To be honest, the Zhuwangtai (Platform of Kings) is shrouded in Supreme formations. Those who can enter must have a bone age of no more than one hundred years..."

As he said that, the Fourth Prince's gaze towards An Qisheng became extremely wonderful.

In fact, if the Tianding Emperor hadn't told him personally, he would never have believed that this Yuanyang Daoist, comparable to a Dongtian (Daoist Paradise), who had suppressed more than a dozen Myriad Dharma realm experts from the major sects with his own strength.

Was actually less than one hundred years old...
