Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 45 045 Starry Sky Attack

A hundred years later, Wei Guang left Moon Star, just like Sun Star. Before leaving, he took some local specialties with him, and the only thing he could find appealing on Moon Star was the laurel tree.

Following the Moon and Stars are the Purple Star, the Big Dipper, the South Pole Star, the Southern Dipper, and so on.

There are too many stars in the sky. If Wei Guang wanted to leave a mark on each one, he probably wouldn't need to cultivate anymore. So his first step was to target 365 stars.

Compared to the Sun Star and the Moon Star, the Purple Star was much simpler, taking only eighty years.

Subsequent formations like the Big Dipper and the South Pole take even less time. At best, it takes fifty years, and at worst, it takes only ten years or so to complete the erosion and leave a mark.

On this day, Wei Guang opened his eyes again.

More than six thousand years had passed since he first arrived in the starry sky, and he had already accomplished ninety-nine percent of his goal, with only the last star remaining.

Wei Guang stood up and gazed into the depths of the starry sky.

The myriad beings of the primordial world only know the vastness of the primordial land, but few know the immensity of the starry sky. Without personally experiencing the starry sky, one will never truly understand.

He was certain that even the Di Jun brothers had not explored the entire starry sky.

How many creatures and secrets are hidden in this endless starry sky? Perhaps only sages know, but sages may not have the leisure to pay attention to these things.

"Keep pushing, just one more pill to go."

With that thought, Wei Guang flashed and headed towards the last star.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Guang had already landed on the target star. He searched around but found no spiritual roots. However, he had become accustomed to this over the past few thousand years.

Innate spiritual roots are not something that can be found everywhere; they are not found on every star.

Of the 365 positive stars, 90% are missing. In such cases, Wei Guang usually selects some representative minerals.

This star is the same.

After finding the necessary ore, Wei Guang set up a barrier and was preparing to invade the origin of this star, but the moment he closed his eyes, a sudden change occurred.

An intense sense of crisis quietly arose, startling Wei Guang so much that he summoned the Chaos Pearl to defend himself while simultaneously using the Starlight Escape Technique.

"Click..."

The Chaos Pearl, which possessed terrifying defensive power, shattered instantly, but fortunately, that instant was enough for Wei Guang to cast his spell.

In the instant his figure vanished, an arrow, seemingly from nowhere, shot from the ground where he had been sitting, straight into the depths of the stars.

There was no terrifying explosion, and not even a significant energy fluctuation; it was as if a silver needle had pierced through tofu.

Wei Guang, who dodged the arrow, broke out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't summoned the Chaos Pearl while casting his spell, that arrow would have definitely taken his life.

Such terrifying archery skills instantly reminded Wei Guang of the legendary archer Yi.

Looking across the entire prehistoric world, he was the only one who could achieve such success in archery. However, Wei Guang couldn't understand it, since he had no grudge against Da Yi.

Forget about hatred, they'd never even met, yet this arrow was clearly aimed at killing him. What was Yi doing?

The most outrageous thing is that he didn't notice the arrow before it arrived, and even now, he still doesn't know which direction it came from, let alone the other party's whereabouts.

Da Yi was just a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and he was also a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Even if there was a difference in their minor realms, it shouldn't be this big.

This is not reasonable.

There are only three possibilities for this to happen.

Firstly, Da Yi had already broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm. Secondly, Da Yi possessed a treasure capable of concealing his aura and killing intent. Thirdly, he had a powerful figure helping him to cover his aura.

The possibility of possessing such a treasure is almost nonexistent, because the Wu clan does not possess a primordial spirit and does not cultivate magical power; even if they possessed a treasure, they would be unable to use it.

It's possible that he has broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, but the probability is not high.

The breakthrough to Quasi-Saint is not easy, especially since the Witch Clan follows the path of physical sainthood, and the physical cultivation of the path of physical sainthood is the same as the cultivation of magical power, with the Great Luo being the limit.

To break through to the Quasi-Saint level, or more precisely, to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal level, the laws are the key.

In the present primordial world, the Great Dao has receded, making it difficult to comprehend the laws. Of course, it's possible that Houtu collected the essence and blood of the ancestral witches and gave it to them to absorb.

After all, no one knows exactly when Houtu awoke from the cycle of reincarnation.

If it happened to be during the Lich War, it wouldn't be difficult for a sage to recover the essence and blood of Dijiang and the others at the moment of their death.

Ultimately, the last possibility is the most likely.

Great power?

The only powerful figure Wei Guang had ever offended was Randeng, but did he really have the guts? Did he really think that a saint was so easily fooled that he could cover up the truth by finding a scapegoat?

Besides, Da Yi isn't stupid, so why would he help Ran Deng?

Could it be that the two Western saints are behind this?

That shouldn't be the case. Although the two Western Saints are a bit... well, they're definitely not stupid. What good would killing me do them? Do they really think the Heavenly Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is just for show?

Thinking may seem like a long process, but it can actually be done in a flash. Moreover, while thinking, Wei Guang did not forget to be on guard.

At this moment, he no longer cared about revealing himself. The Primordial Star Chart had already appeared above his head, and at the same time, the Primordial Measuring Ruler had already appeared in his hand.

With the support of both, he was confident he could fight even a powerful being in the early stages of Quasi-Sainthood.

Whether I can win or not is another matter, but taking him down won't be that easy.

As for the mid-stage, late-stage, and even perfect Quasi-Saint realms, escaping is not a problem. Even if space is sealed off, it cannot stop the arrival of Tongtian.

Before Tongtian arrived, Wei Guang was confident that he would not be killed by them.

Wei Guang did not rush to call for reinforcements.

If he calls for help at the slightest danger without even understanding the situation, what's the point of cultivating Tao? He should just stay hidden on Sanguang Island and lie low.

Let's figure out the situation first.

As long as it's not a saint who takes action, there's not much of a problem. And in the primordial world, there's only one saint who dares to really kill him. If it really is him, even if Tongtian comes, it won't be of any use.

With the Primordial Star Chart above his head and the Primordial Measuring Ruler in his hand, Wei Guang's divine sense spread outwards without restraint.

He won't be at peace until we find this person today.

"Whoosh..."

"How dare you!"

Just then, another arrow shot towards Wei Guang from the depths of the starry sky. This time, Wei Guang was on guard and successfully caught a trace of it.

The angry shout rang out, but the person had already vanished from the spot.

The arrow shot straight at a star behind Wei Guang's original position, eventually disappearing into it.

When Wei Guang reappeared, he was in an unfamiliar star field, and his gaze instantly fixed on an unknown star.

To be precise, it was a figure on that star.

The man was burly and wore only a leopard-print leather skirt. He held a bow in his left hand, drew a quiver in his right, and carried a quiver of arrows on his back.

Wei Guang frowned.

He had seen Yi from afar during the Lich War. Although this person looked exactly like Yi, something was clearly off about him. This off was not about his appearance.

PS: Fellow readers, this book has fallen off the new book charts and urgently needs recommendations, monthly tickets, and continued reading support. I would be extremely grateful if you could lend me a hand.
