Chapter 99 The Celestial Chart (6000 words, two chapters combined)

In the endless starry sky, Zhen Yuanzi rode a black and white auspicious cloud and began to wander around. Whenever he passed by a star, he would carefully search it with his divine sense to see if there was any star essence.

Only then will they ride away on auspicious clouds.

A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he has found thousands of star essences the size of rice grains.

The vast majority of them are the essence of ordinary stars, with only a very small portion being the essence of stars nurtured by the 365 stars of the heavens.

There is still a considerable gap between the required number of 365 Star Essences.

On this day, Zhen Yuanzi encountered a very strange star, one of the 365 stars in the heavens. It was enormous and radiated a purple-gold starlight.

It looked as if it was wearing a magnificent purple-gold robe, making it appear extremely noble!

It is clearly different from the other stars in the celestial sphere.

To Zhen Yuanzi's amazement, there were seven enormous stars surrounding the purple-gold star, revolving around it according to the four seasons.

"Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, Yao Guang—these are the seven stars of the Big Dipper!"

Upon seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes, and he said, "This purplish-gold star should be the Ziwei Star!"

Among the 365 celestial bodies, there are some very unique stars, such as the Sun, the Moon, and Mars.

Among them, the sun and moon are the most noble, respectively governing the day and night of the primordial world.

Mars is a harbinger of disaster, symbolizing calamity and calamity.

The Ziwei constellation is also very special. Not only is it surrounded by the seven stars of the Big Dipper—Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang—but it also holds a special status.

"The Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array of Di Jun and Tai Yi uses the Sun Star and the Moon Star as the array's core."

"Could we make some changes to this celestial chart, replacing the Sun and Moon stars with the Ziwei star to rule all the stars?" Zhen Yuanzi suddenly thought of something. In his previous life, the Ziwei star was also called the Ziwei Emperor Star, and it was the master of all the stars in the celestial sphere.

Legend has it that the Ziwei Star Lord in the Heavenly Court, also known as the Great Emperor of the North Pole Central Heaven, is one of the Six Emperors of the Heavenly Court. He can govern all the stars above, control all laws in the middle, and rule Fengdu below. He is the master of all the stars in the heavens.

The more Zhen Yuanzi thought about it, the more he felt that the Ziwei star could replace the Sun and the Moon stars to rule over all the stars, and could be the master of all the stars in the Zhou Tian star chart.

Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi withdrew his magical power, concealed his form, and landed on the Ziwei Star to search for the essence of the star.

Before long, Zhen Yuanzi found a piece of Ziwei star essence the size of a date pit and headed towards the Big Dipper with satisfaction.

Another hundred years or so passed.

Zhen Yuanzi has almost finished deducing the Zhou Tian Star Chart. He only needs to collect the essence of the stars of the 365 Zhou Tian stars before he can begin refining the Zhou Tian Star Chart.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi encountered a troublesome matter: he had almost collected all the other star essences, with only a few remaining.

Among them, the essence of the sun and the moon, as well as the essence of the planet Venus, are missing. The former is the place where Di Jun and Tai Yi took form, and the latter is the place where Xi He took form.

"Now that Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Xi He are all in charge of the Heavenly Court, we can take this opportunity to visit the Sun Star and the Moon Star." With a flash of innate Yin-Yang divine light, Zhen Yuanzi headed towards the Moon Star.

Looking into the distance, one can see that the moon is covered in a vast expanse of white, presenting a silvery-white scene.

Apart from that, there was no other color, only a huge spiritual root that soared into the sky, almost obscuring half of the Taiyin star.

"What a magnificent laurel tree with innate spiritual roots!" Upon seeing the laurel tree with innate spiritual roots on the Taiyin Star, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

This laurel tree is one of the ten innate spiritual roots of the primordial world, comparable to Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit tree.

However, the conditions for planting laurel are very demanding, and it can only be planted in the Taiyin Xingchen area.

Left with no other choice, Di Jun and Xi He could only order people to take good care of it, as they were unable to transplant it to the Heavenly Court.

Speaking of which, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race is indeed extraordinary. It not only possesses the Fusang Tree and the Laurel Tree, which are among the ten innate spiritual roots of the primordial world, but also a Star Fruit Tree.

As Zhen Yuanzi descended the cloud light, he felt waves of Taiyin star essence rushing towards him. Without any special refining, it directly flowed into his body and transformed into magical power, as if he were in a blessed land.

Although the Taiyin star is somewhat deserted, its mysteries are no less than any blessed land.

Moreover, there is also a laurel tree with innate spiritual roots.

However, Zhen Yuanzi did not linger. After finding a piece of Taiyin Star Essence, he transformed into a black and white ray of light and headed towards the Sun Star.

Before long, Zhen Yuanzi rode auspicious clouds to the sun and found a very small piece of the sun's essence without much effort.

Now, above the sun and stars, apart from the Sun God Palace guarded by demon saints and demon gods, everywhere else is filled with the true fire of the sun, with no guards at all.

This allowed Zhen Yuanzi to easily find a Star Essence.

However, to Zhen Yuanzi's surprise, it took decades to find the last essence of the Venus star.

At this time, Zhen Yuanzi had already ventured deep into the starry sky, far from the primordial land, but very close to the chaos.

Few cultivators venture into the depths of the starry sky. Even when a group of demon saints and demon gods come to collect the essence of stars, they rarely come here.

The starry sky is boundless. Once one leaves the area encompassed by the 365 stars in the heavens, even a Great Immortal might get lost in the starry sky.

Fortunately, with Zhen Yuanzi's supernatural powers, he was able to break through space and return to the primordial land with a glimmer of inspiration.

Now that we have collected all 365 essences of the stars, we can now refine the Zhou Tian Star Chart.

However, upon thinking of the Zhou Tian Star Array, Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly, and a flash of innate Yin-Yang divine light appeared on his body as he arrived at the gap between the starry sky and chaos.

There are no living beings in this area, which is hundreds of millions of miles away, and it is even beyond the coverage of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Zhen Yuanzi sat cross-legged in the void, revealing the three flowers of his primordial spirit. Within a half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, the innate Yin-Yang lamp hung high, emitting innate Yin-Yang true fire that directly surged into the chaos and the starry sky.

In an instant, the Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire spread out, covering hundreds of millions of miles of void. Half of it fell into the chaos, and the other half fell into countless stars, transforming into a huge black and white map. Hundreds of millions of miles of land became a sea of ​​fire.

It also gave rise to the innate Yin-Yang divine light, which, together with the innate Yin-Yang true fire, ignited the chaotic energy and countless stars across billions of miles. The endless chaotic energy and the essence of the stars in the heavens formed a hazy golden vortex.

The chaotic energy intertwined with the essence of the stars in the heavens, burning with the extremely domineering innate Yin-Yang True Fire, and a huge vortex spanned the chaos and the starry sky.

Even across billions of miles and countless stars, it can be seen clearly.

Even the beings and cultivators on the primordial land could vaguely see wisps of starlight gathering here, forming a small star cluster.

In the hazy distance, countless chaotic energies converged, transforming into a massive ball of flame.

If a cultivator were to come and see this scene, he would surely be terrified.

Zhen Yuanzi, seated at the center of the vortex, was not in a hurry to refine the Zhou Tian Star Chart. Instead, he used the Primordial Yin-Yang True Fire to temper the chaotic energy and the essence of the Zhou Tian stars, using the two as materials to refine the Zhou Tian Star Chart.

In general, when refining spiritual treasures, whether ordinary spiritual treasures or magical artifacts for attaining enlightenment, one almost always uses innate materials as spiritual materials, refines them into a spiritual treasure, and then nurtures it with one's primordial spirit.

However, the Zhou Tian Star Chart that Zhen Yuanzi planned to refine was different. It was not refined with innate spiritual materials, but rather with chaotic energy and the essence of the Zhou Tian stars as materials, and then the essence of the stars was incorporated into it to create a star chart.

Finally, 365 star restrictions are refined from low to high, each containing a star supernatural power to enhance the power of the Zhou Tian Star Chart.

Some of these stellar supernatural powers were deduced by Zhen Yuanzi based on the characteristics of the 365 stars in the heavens, while others were passed down by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun in the past, and there are many different kinds.

As time went by, the chaotic energy and the essence of the stars gradually transformed into a picture, emanating chaotic energy on the outside and containing endless essence of the stars within.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi threw the essence of the stars into the void, refined it slightly with the innate Yin-Yang True Fire, and it fell into the diagram, transforming into stars, like a cluster of stars shining, absorbing the essence of the stars in the heavens, looking extremely dazzling.

Even if Zhen Yuanzi were to stop refining it now and place it in the starry sky, nurturing it with the power of the stars for countless years, it might eventually transform into a true celestial map.

The next moment, Zhen Yuanzi formed a series of hand seals, refining 365 star restrictions into the diagram.

One by one, the essence of the stars gradually changed, becoming even more dazzling, appearing completely different from ordinary essence of the stars.

Suddenly, the catalog burst forth with billions of rays of light, which fell into the starry sky and disappeared.

In less than half a breath, it drew upon the essence of countless stars in the cosmos, sending it deep into the starry sky and merging into the diagram, where it was absorbed by the essence of 365 stars.

Suddenly, the essence of the three hundred and sixty-five stars in the catalog trembled, as if it were echoing the three hundred and sixty-five stars in the sky, each moving in a mysterious trajectory, surrounded by a cluster of stars.

Among these 365 star essences, Ziwei is the main one, with Taiyang and Taiyin as secondary ones, forming a huge Zhou Tian star map, which vaguely resembles the Zhou Tian star array of the demon race.

The Zhou Tian Star Array uses the Luo Shu He Tu and the Donghuang Zhong to suppress the array, and uses 365 star banners as its foundation to draw upon the power of the Zhou Tian stars in an endless cycle.

The Zhou Tian Star Chart can also draw upon the power of the Zhou Tian stars, creating an endless cycle.

"Perhaps this Zhou Tian Star Chart can mimic the operation of the Zhou Tian Star Array and set up a star array." Zhen Yuanzi's heart stirred slightly. He planned to use the essence of the 365 stars in the chart as the foundation to mimic the mysterious operation of the Zhou Tian Star Array, draw down the power of the Zhou Tian stars, and set up a star array.

Although this formation cannot be considered the Zhou Tian Star Formation, it can still exert some of the power of the Zhou Tian Star Formation.

After the great calamity of the Lich King subsided, both races declined.

It is entirely possible to obtain the 365 Star Banners and the method of the Zhou Tian Star Array, and refine them together with the Zhou Tian Star Chart.

By then, the Zhou Tian Star Chart might be able to be used to create the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Even without possessing the full power of the Zhou Tian Star Array, simply being able to refine the chaotic energy, transform it into innate spiritual energy, and obtain a portion of the primordial fortune and merit is sufficient.

At that time, the value of the Zhou Tian Star Chart will far surpass that of innate spiritual treasures.

Although Zhen Yuanzi had discussed the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array with Fuxi, Fuxi did not reveal the specific methods and secrets of setting up the array.

At this point, Zhen Yuanzi could only use his primordial spirit to deduce the Zhou Tian Star Array, while the Zhou Tian Star Diagram continued to draw in the essence of the Zhou Tian stars until he felt that everything was foolproof.

Only then did they begin to adjust the positions and movements of the stars in the heavens, using the essence of the 365 stars in the diagram to establish a star formation.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the largest of these star essences is only the size of a date pit; they are the condensed essence of all the stars in the universe, connected to 365 stars in the universe, and can absorb and expel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into star power.

However, Zhen Yuanzi did not change the positions of the Ziwei star, the Sun star, and the Moon star, still placing the Ziwei star as the head of the stars, with the Sun star and the Moon star as the assistants.

After all the essence of the stars had been adjusted, Zhen Yuanzi pointed to the Zhou Tian Star Chart, and the Ziwei Star immediately burst forth with countless purple-gold starlight, spreading throughout the Zhou Tian Star Chart and commanding the stars.

The next moment, the remaining 365 star essences lit up one by one, emitting beams of starlight that shone brightly. The chaotic energy drawn from the void was dispersed by the starlight emitted by the Zhou Tian Star Chart, creating a rumbling sound.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

The Zhou Tian Star Chart is shimmering with the light of billions of stars, producing beams of starlight that blend with the brilliance of the stars in the sky.

Until the Zhou Tian star chart gradually blurred, it eventually transformed into a ball of Zhou Tian star radiance, as if merging into the starry sky and becoming one with all the Zhou Tian stars.

At this point, Zhen Yuanzi's Zhou Tian Star Chart was almost finished, with only the final step of activating the power of the 365 Zhou Tian stars remaining.

It is incorporated into the essence of the stars in the Zhou Tian star chart to enhance the essence of the stars.

This Zhou Tian Xing Chen Diagram can be considered completely successfully crafted.

It can then connect with the stars in the heavens, control the stars, and even set up a star formation.

At this moment, the Zhou Tian Star Chart rushed into the starry sky, emitting boundless starlight.

Suddenly, the 365 stars in the starry sky shone brightly, bursting forth with boundless power and falling into the star map deep within the starry sky.

Replenished by the power of 365 celestial bodies, the essence of the 365 stars in the image began to gradually grow stronger.

If it were said to be an unusual phenomenon from the previous creation of the Zhou Tian Star Chart, it could barely deceive the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race.

But at this moment, the astonishing phenomenon, with the sun and moon shining brightly and countless stellar powers surging out and flowing into the depths of the starry sky, could not be hidden from the demon saints and demon gods stationed there.

In a short while, the Zhou Tian Star Array began to operate on its own, and countless Zhou Tian Stars shone forth, revealing projections of the Zhou Tian Stars.

The demon saints and demon gods stationed there all used the Zhou Tian Star Array to explore the depths of the starry sky.

In the Ancestral Witch Hall in the northern part of the Primordial World, Dijiang, Xuanming, Qiangliang, Tianwu and other Ancestral Witches all looked at the South Heavenly Gate with strange expressions.

"The Zhou Tian Star Formation!" A hint of apprehension flashed in Di Jiang's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Di Jun, Tai Yi, are you perhaps planning to unleash the Zhou Tian Star Formation to conquer the four seas?"

Xuanming hesitated for a moment and said, "Although there are some disputes between the Demon Clan Heavenly Court and the Four Seas Dragon Clan, it is not yet to the point of war."

At the very beginning, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race did indeed have many disputes with the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas. Emperor Jun even ordered a group of demon saints and demon gods to clean up the rivers and waters along the coast of the Four Seas.

However, as the Four Seas Dragon Clan shifted its focus to the western part of the prehistoric world and befriended the two future sages, Jieyin and Zhunti, the conflict between the two clans quickly subsided.

The western part of the primordial wilderness has always been barren and was not within the sphere of influence of the demon race's heavenly court.

But at this moment, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race suddenly activated the Zhou Tian Star Array!

"Regardless of why Dijun and Taiyi suddenly activated the Zhou Tian Star Array, we must be on guard." Jumang recalled the last time the demon army suddenly attacked, and many witch tribes suffered heavy losses because they were caught off guard.

At this point, the Wu tribe had to be on guard.

"Brother Jumang is right."

The other ancestral shamans unanimously agreed and began instructing their respective tribes to be on high alert.

Some of these powerful shaman tribes even practiced shamanic battle formations and forged weapons, showing signs of preparing for war.

In the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, Zhulong, along with the nine sons of the Ancestral Dragon and Ao Xuan, the Dragon King of the East Sea, gathered together, all looking towards the South Heavenly Gate.

"The Great Array of Celestial Stars!" A complex expression flashed in Zhulong's eyes.

The Four Seas Dragon Clan was one of the overlords of the ancient world. The Ten Thousand Dragons Formation was personally devised by the Ancestral Dragon, capable of gathering the power of ten thousand dragons, and its divine might is immeasurable.

However, it is inferior to the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array of the demon race.

Although the Ten Thousand Dragons Formation can gather the magical power of all the dragons and billions of sea creatures into one place, and can be connected with the four seas, it can almost have an inexhaustible source of magical power by borrowing the power of the four seas.

However, the demon race's Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array can control the Zhou Tian stars, and with the help of the power of the Zhou Tian stars, it is still superior to the Wan Long Grand Array.

Not to mention, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of the Wu Clan can condense the true body of Pangu and the Heaven-Opening Divine Thunder, as well as the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation that the Shangqing Daoist can only break with the Four Saints.

"At this moment, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race suddenly activated the Zhou Tian Star Array. Could it be that they intend to target us, the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas?" Ao Xuan, the Dragon King of the East Sea, frowned.

Currently, the Lich and Demon races are mutually restraining each other, and the cultivator lineage has several future saints in charge.

After counting and comparing, only the Four Seas Dragon Clan is worth the Demon Clan Heavenly Court operating the Zhou Tian Star Array.

"If Di Jun and Tai Yi intend to conquer our Four Seas Dragon Clan..." Suanni pointed towards the South Heavenly Gate, puzzled, "The South Heavenly Gate should be teeming with demon armies at this moment, filled with murderous intent. How come there's no movement at all!"

"Fifth Brother is right." Zhulong slowly withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "The divine light of the Zhou Tian Stars in this Zhou Tian Star Array seems to extend into the depths of the starry sky."

His eyes, like candlelight, could see up to the Thirty-Three Heavens and down to the Nine Netherworlds; nothing in heaven or on earth could escape his gaze.

At this moment, Zhulong could faintly see the divine light of the Zhou Tian Stars in the Zhou Tian Stars Formation extending into the depths of the starry sky, rather than falling into the primordial world.

Deep in the starry sky!

"Could it be that something has happened deep in the starry sky?" Ao Xuan asked in surprise.

The starry sky is sealed off by the Zhou Tian Star Array, and even a group of quasi-saints and great supernatural beings from the Primordial Era dare not go there easily. How could such a sudden change occur at this time!

"A primordial spiritual treasure has been born in the starry sky?" After saying that, Qiuniu shook his head, thinking it was unlikely.

The Demon Clan's Heavenly Court has four Quasi-Saints with great supernatural powers in charge, and it also has the Zhou Tian Star Array. Even if a Primordial Spiritual Treasure were to appear, it is estimated that no great supernatural power would dare to snatch it, so there is no need to activate the Zhou Tian Star Array.

In addition, the gazes of all the great beings of the primordial world also turned towards the South Heavenly Gate, with various guesses emerging.

Above the Heavenly Court.

The Demon Saint Ji Meng hurriedly entered and reported to Emperor Jun and Taiyi, saying, "Your Majesties, unusual movements have occurred in the celestial sphere, triggering the Celestial Star Array!"

Upon hearing Ji Meng's words, Di Jun frowned. The 365 Zhou Tian Stars have existed eternally for hundreds of millions of years without any unusual activity.

Why would something unusual happen at this moment, even triggering the Zhou Tian Star Array?

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Di Jun's eyes. He waved his hand and summoned his companion spiritual treasure, the Luoshu Hetu, to begin deducing the secrets of heaven.

Before long, Di Jun's face darkened, and he said, "Today I want to see just who this deity is who has activated the Zhou Tian Star Array!"

At that moment, Taiyi and Dijun transformed into a golden light and headed towards the starry sky.

Deep within the starry sky and in the gap between chaos, the essence of the 365 stars in the Zhou Tian Star Chart continues to grow stronger, its power increasing exponentially.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly, sensing that the Zhou Tian Star Array was in operation. He had no choice but to wave his sleeve and summon the completed Zhou Tian Star Diagram into his hand, saying, "It seems that the commotion was a bit too big, actually triggering the Zhou Tian Star Array."

However, Zhen Yuanzi did not leave immediately, but instead examined the Zhou Tian Star Chart.

The Zhou Tian Star Chart contains countless stars, as if the starry sky has been transformed into a picture book, with layers of starlight shining out. It looks exactly the same as the stars in the starry sky, without any difference.

This celestial map bears a slight resemblance to Nuwa's map of mountains and rivers.

The Mountain and River Map records the direction of the primordial mountains, rivers and land veins. Within it lies the vast universe, capable of nurturing billions of living beings, yet all existing within the cycle of birth and death.

The Zhou Tian Star Chart records the changes of the stars in the celestial sphere. It contains a starry world with endless essence of the stars and can control the stars.

"It wasn't in vain that I put in so much effort." Zhen Yuanzi nodded in satisfaction and took the Zhou Tian Star Chart into his primordial spirit to nurture it.

Then, the black and white innate Yin-Yang divine light on his body flashed and disappeared.
