Before he could finish his sentence, the atmosphere in the sky surged violently, splitting open a path in the middle.
The end of this path flickered with golden light, as if it contained another world. It was filled with a vast and ancient aura, as if an existence that had lived for countless years lived inside.
Then, a figure walked out of the golden light. The golden light behind him retracted, and the sky returned to its previous state.
This was an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies. His hair and beard were white, and his eyes were kind. He was wearing a white robe, and his body emitted the aura of all techniques fusing into one.
It was the Myriad Techniques Return to One Realm, but he was far stronger than ordinary Sages.
He should be a so-called Sage King or a Great Divine Being or Star Lord.
It was equivalent to the Peak of the Sixth Realm of the Immortal World.
This was the Star God of Chongyang Star, a Star God that had truly matured.
When Cui Heng approached this planet, he had already discovered its existence.
This was also one of the reasons why he did not go to the Li Family and the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect to investigate the situation.
To understand the situation of Chongyang Star and even the entire Five Views Realm, it was undoubtedly the most convenient to find the Star God.
Especially a Star God who had lived for a long time.
However, from the looks of it, he seemed to be quite old.
Star Gods would also die of old age?
Cui Heng looked at the old man with interest and sized him up. “You don’t seem to have long to live.”
“Exalted Immortal’s eyes are like torches.” The Chongyang Star God nodded and said very respectfully, “I have less than 300 years left to live and am about to die.”
“Oh?” Cui Heng became even more curious when he heard this and continued to ask, “How old are you now?”
“Exalted Immortal, it has been 46,700 years since I gained sentience and gathered the spiritual energy of the previous Star God to refine a Divine Body,” said Chongyang Star God.
Cui Heng pondered.
From this, it could be seen that the lifespan of a Star God far exceeded that of a normal Sixth Realm martial artist.
According to the Purple Sun True Treasures Record, after a martial artist broke through to the Sixth Realm, their lifespan would increase exponentially.
Sages could live for about 10,000 years at most, and they could not extend their lifespan.
If one could break through to the Peak of the Sixth Realm and become a Sage King, they could extend their lifespan by 10,000 years. At most, they could live for 15,000 more years.
If one stayed at the Peak of the Sixth Realm for a long time and accumulated enough power to step into the so-called “Requesting Realm”, they could extend their lifespan by about 20,000 years through some special methods or consuming divine medicine.
This was the limit of the lifespan of a Sixth Realm Immortal.
However, the Star God in front of him could live for 47,000 years. His lifespan could not be said to be short.
After all, even Cui Heng, who was already at the Late-stage Nascent Soul realm, only had a lifespan of 100,000 years.
The lifespan of a Star God could be said to be unique.
“Did you just say the spiritual energy of the previous generation’s Star God?” Cui Heng looked at the Chongyang Star God and said in a low voice, “If a Star God like you dies, the next generation of Star God will be born?”
“Yes.” The Chongyang Star God nodded and said, “As long as a Star God truly matures, they won’t completely die. After I die, a new Star God will be born in 12 years.
This new Star God will inherit all my power, but he will not have my memories and experience. In order to maintain the purity of the new Star God, I will not leave him any inheritance.”
“It only takes 12 years.” Cui Heng could not help but be surprised.
If not for the fact that the memories and experience of the Star Gods could not be passed down, this would simply be an alternative form of immortality.
However, he was a little surprised that they did not even leave behind any inheritance.
Why was that?
“Why don’t you leave behind your inheritance?” Cui Heng asked.
“It’s to prevent the Star God from getting lost in the endless inheritance of knowledge, and also to continue the legacy,” said the Chongyang Star God with a calm gaze. “Without the inheritance, the Star God needs a long time to grow.
In the first 10,000 years, although the newborn Star God had already obtained power, his intelligence is still unclear. He needs 10,000 years to wake up.
After the Star God wakes up, he’ll need another 10,000 years to familiarize himself with the power to control his strength. At this time, nearly half of the Star God’s lifespan will have passed. He’ll also understand the meaning of the Star God’s existence and duty in these long years.
If there is an inheritance left behind by the previous Star God, the Star God will obtain all kinds of knowledge at an extremely fast speed and walk the path of 10,000 to 20,000 years in a short period of time.
The more they know, the stronger they will be, and they’ll be able to quickly grasp the methods to leave the planet they were born on. In this way, their heart for the unknown will become heavier and heavier.
The mysteries of a planet will soon be unable to satisfy this new Star God. He will yearn for the vast starry sky outside, hoping to obtain more knowledge and see more of the unknown.
However, once the Star God leaves the planet and dies outside, everything will scatter into the void and completely perish. The Star God’s spiritual energy will no longer be able to gather and give birth to a new Star God.
“And this planet will also lose the protection of the Star God. The laws and principles that have been distorted and changed will gradually return to their original state with time. This place will no longer be suitable for survival and will eventually become a huge dead planet.”
As for why he wanted to continue the existence of the Star Gods, this was the instinct of life.
Just like how ordinary living beings gave birth to descendants through their bloodline, the way the Star God gave birth to descendants was to let his power continue in his descendants.
Cui Heng was lost in thought.
After understanding the specific situation of the Star Gods, his cultivation had increased.
However, the fact that the Star Gods who pursued the unknown might end up causing their inheritance to be severed or even the life of the planet he was born on to perish made him vigilant.
In essence, this situation was that the Star God had lost himself in endless knowledge and had lost his accurate understanding of himself, forgetting his foundation as a Star God.
My life is also boundless, and knowledge is boundless. With boundless bounds, there are no bounds.
Although in theory, Nascent Soul cultivators could already live forever through their indestructible True Spirit and have endless years to learn and explore the unknown, if they blindly pursued all the unknowns and did not distinguish them, they might also lose themselves in the endless knowledge and forget their fundamental goal of exploring the unknown.
When exploring the unknown, one had to make a distinction.
What kind of knowledge was useful for his cultivation, what kind of knowledge could truly be converted into his own accumulation, and what kind of knowledge was only in stages of nourishment?
He had to think about all of this carefully.
He could not swallow everything easily. After his cultivation increased, he would not comb through the unknown anymore.
The moment he understood this, a pure aura suddenly surged from Cui Heng’s body.
Then, this strand turned into layers of light that enveloped him. These layers of light clearly had no color, but they gave off a feeling that they contained all the colors. They were extremely profound and indescribable.
Hui Shi, who was standing beside Cui Heng, felt his body and soul begin to sublimate.
The originally indestructible shackles of his realm were instantly broken through.
The Immortal Golden nature in his body naturally extended out of his body and began to interweave with the boundless Dharma and Logos, fusing into one.
A moment later, he directly broke through.
The Sixth Realm of the Immortal World, Myriad Techniques Return to One!
“I, I broke through just like that?!” Hui Shi was dumbfounded. He had not even understood the situation when he suddenly broke through.
At the same time, the Chongyang Star God also felt a tremendous change in his body.
The originally old Star God actually became more energetic after being illuminated by these layers of clear light.
This shocked him to the extreme. He almost suspected that he was hallucinating. “My lifespan has actually increased by 3,000 years?!”
Chongyang Star God looked at Cui Heng in disbelief. His entire body was trembling as he said with a trembling voice, “Thank you, Exalted Immortal, thank you!”
At this moment, Cui Heng was also undergoing a sublimation.
The Dharmic powers in his body first expanded greatly before rapidly shrinking. After repeating this cycle countless times, his Dharmic powers became even purer.
The Nascent Soul in the Niwan Palace opened its eyes and waved its young hands. It sorted out the countless knowledge that appeared in front of it and categorized them into categories, condensing them into different colors.
Cui Heng referenced the systems he knew in his previous life and divided the knowledge he had now into various subjects.
For example, spells, history, humanities, laws, starry skies, and so on.
Under each subject, a more detailed division was made.
This way, he could construct a complete system to integrate the knowledge he had, so as to make specific distinctions between specific knowledge. He could also constantly clarify his shortcomings and strengths.
It could be said to be killing many birds with one stone.
The construction of the knowledge system also greatly improved the growth of the Nascent Soul.
His Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation progress was half completed!
“Hu!”
Cui Heng exhaled lightly and ended his epiphany. Then, he realized that the two people beside him had also changed greatly. The Dharmas and Logos on Chongyang Star were greatly guided and condensed.
It caused the entire Chongyang Star to change.
Li Family of Luling City.
Li Cheng was confronting the two Devas from the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect.
He already knew Wei Cheng’s goal, so it was naturally impossible for him to agree to go to the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect. That was completely walking into a trap.
However, it was impossible for these two Devas to let him off so easily.
“Li Cheng, you have to think carefully. This is your last chance.”
One of the Devas said in a low voice, “The Sect Master personally said that if you insist on not following us, you will be making an enemy of the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect and Wei Cheng. I advise you not to make a mistake!”
Boom!
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky. The originally bright sky instantly turned dark.
A violent wind rose in the world, and the clouds in the sky surged!
This made everyone stop what they were doing and look up in shock.
In an instant, the sky lit up again. Countless lights of different colors crossed the sky and gathered in one direction.
At this moment, countless Golden Immortals and Limitless Golden Immortals exclaimed.
“Myriad Techniques Return to One!!”
“Someone has become a Sage?!”
“A new Sage has been born. Who is it?!”
