Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 44 044 Starry Sky Cultivation

This ratio clearly shows the fragility of human nature; when a shortcut is presented to us, very few people can resist its temptation.

Even if embarking on this path violates human ethics and morality.

Wei Guang explained the rules of the Jie Sect to everyone, and then showed them the fate of Chang Er and others in the past as a warning. Only then did he lead them to Biyou Palace with Zhao Gongming and the others.

Upon arriving at Biyou Palace, Tongtian was already waiting there.

"We pay our respects to our Master."

Tongtian glanced around at the crowd. Although their backgrounds varied and most of them had no hope of reaching the Taiyi realm in this lifetime, they did not have much karma or evil aura on them.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the only Great Luo Golden Immortal among them, Lu Ya the Golden Crow.

The ten suns suddenly appeared and wreaked havoc throughout the primordial world, causing countless deaths and injuries. If it weren't for the fact that the Demon Court was at its peak at the time and took over these consequences, Lu Ya would never have had the chance to advance to the Great Luo realm.

Even so, Lu Ya exuded a strong aura of malevolence.

Most importantly, Tongtian could sense that Lu Ya was not destined for the Jie Sect, but strangely enough, he came anyway, and not only did he come, he also successfully passed the test and joined the Jie Sect.

This is obviously not normal.

However, Tongtian found nothing unusual about him, as if everything was just a coincidence.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities: either it was truly a coincidence, or a sage was behind it all and erased all the abnormalities.

Tongtian's intuition told him it was the latter.

Lu Yaming was destined for the West, but now he has joined the Jie Sect. Tongtian doesn't believe this is a coincidence; he thinks it's mostly those two guys playing tricks. But Tongtian doesn't intend to shut him out.

He wanted to see what those two were up to.

"Your senior brother has already told you about the rules of the sect and the consequences of violating them. I hope you will keep them in mind. Once you break them, there will be no leniency."

As he said this, Tongtian's gaze remained fixed on Lu Ya, causing the latter to tremble with fear and break out in a cold sweat.

Although he felt a little flustered, Lu Ya dared not have any distracting thoughts, because when facing a sage, nothing in his mind could be hidden from him.

"We will remember this forever."

Wei Guang also noticed Tongtian's gaze, and when he looked at Lu Ya again, a strange look appeared in his eyes. It seemed that Lu Ya really had a problem.

Could it be an undercover agent sent by the two Western Saints?

Looks like I'll have to be more careful in the future.

Next, Tongtian began to preach to the newly initiated disciples. The purpose of the preaching was to rebuild the foundation of the Dao. Wei Guang and the others had already gone through this process, so there was no need for them to stay.

As they left Jin'ao Island, Wei Guang called out to Zhao Gongming.

"It would be a waste for this treasure to remain in my possession. I believe this treasure is destined for my junior brother, so I will give it to him today." Wei Guang handed over the Qiankun Ruler.

The reason he wasn't given it before was because he didn't have any other purely offensive spiritual treasures, but now that he has the Primordial Measuring Ruler, Wei Guang naturally won't be stingy with it.

"Senior Brother..."

Zhao Gongming was shocked after glancing at the Qiankun Ruler. A top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and it was given to him like that?

Isn't that a bit too extravagant?

Wei Guang smiled and said, "Of course, it's not a free gift. I'll be away for a long time, and there's something I need you to do. Consider this Qiankun Ruler a reward."

"If there's anything you need, please feel free to give your orders, Senior Brother." Zhao Gongming said solemnly.

Wei Guang said, "I feel there's something wrong with that Golden Crow Lu Ya. While I'm away, keep an eye on him for me. If you notice anything unusual, don't take any action. Wait for me to return."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will keep a close eye on him." Zhao Gongming's expression became even more serious.

Although he didn't know why Wei Guang judged Lu Ya to be problematic, he had no reason to doubt Wei Guang, since he didn't have much of a relationship with Lu Ya, who had just joined the Jie Sect.

Whether the other party truly has a problem can be determined by taking a look.

If there are no problems, the eldest brother will naturally not cause trouble for no reason. On the contrary, if there are problems, then the other party truly deserves to die, and as the second senior brother of the Jie Sect, he also has the responsibility and obligation to handle this matter.

Wei Guang patted Zhao Gongming on the shoulder: "You should still focus on cultivation and not waste too much energy. I only have doubts."

The reason Zhao Gongming was tasked with keeping an eye on Lu Ya was simply to make him feel more at ease putting away the Qiankun Ruler. It would be unwise to delay his cultivation over such a trivial matter.

"Junior brother understands." Zhao Gongming nodded and took the Qiankun Ruler from Wei Guang's hand.

Wei Guang didn't care whether he truly understood or not; since he had already given him the Qiankun Ruler, his goal was achieved. Wei Guang headed straight for the starry sky.

He had wanted to see the starry sky for a long time, but he hadn't dared to go before because of Di Jun and the other two. Now, however, he didn't care.

In fact, Wei Guang originally planned to use the essence of Fusang, Laurel, and Star Tree to improve his foundation, but he did not expect to encounter the remains of the Star Demon God and extract a part of the Star Demon God's essence from them.

However, although he no longer needs the source to improve his foundation, the starry sky is definitely the most suitable place for him to cultivate.

Furthermore, Wei Guang will need to replenish some materials related to stars when refining the acquired merit treasure, so he must go through the starry sky no matter what.

First, Wei Guang arrived at the Sun Star.

The sun, as the head of all stars, has terrifying heat that ordinary people cannot withstand. Even a great immortal would not go there unless necessary.

Of course, it's not that pure solar fire could harm a Grand Luo Golden Immortal; it's just that they wouldn't come unless absolutely necessary.

However, although the Sun God's Fire was terrifying, it could not cause any harm to Wei Guang. Instead, it gave him a sense of familiarity from his very origin, a feeling of coming home.

Wei Guang arrived at the hibiscus tree and looked at the hibiscus tree that had been reborn from the fire, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

As expected of one of the ten supreme innate spiritual roots of the primordial world, its fire origin and vitality are truly terrifying. If it could take human form, the world would probably have another top-tier innate saint.

Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult for a top-grade innate spiritual root to develop intelligence and take human form.

Without much hesitation, Wei Guang sat cross-legged under the Fusang tree, his divine sense enveloping the entire Sun Star, invading its origin, intending to leave his mark within it.

The collection of materials and cultivation were secondary; the main purpose was to leave his mark on the starry sky.

In this way, even if Wei Guang is not in the starry sky in the future, he can more quickly draw upon the power of the stars to accelerate his cultivation speed, spellcasting speed, and supernatural power.

Besides these, Wei Guang had other ideas, but it's unknown whether they will succeed, so we won't discuss them for now.

A century later, Wei Guang successfully left his mark on the origin of the Sun Star. He then awoke from his cultivation, took a branch of the Fusang tree, and came to the Moon Star.

Unlike the prehistoric novels he had read, Chang Xi and Xi He had already perished in the Lich War.

There was no story of Chang'e flying to the moon or Wu Gang chopping down the tree. The Chang'e in the story is probably someone else, or perhaps, as the rumors say, Chang'e was just one of the ordinary celestial maidens in the heavenly court.
