2223: Mystery of the Stars

Mystery of the Stars

Ye Futian's consciousness kept ascending. His mind seemed to form an illusory figure that wandered in the sky. His consciousness went to an extremely high place. The gigantic illusory figure of Great Emperor Ziwei became larger and larger. Soon, his consciousness could no longer detect the full image of Great Emperor Ziwei.2

On the contrary, the light dot which he was approaching was getting brighter and brighter. The star was dazzling as it twinkled. The star grew larger as Ye Futian's consciousness traversed higher and got closer to it. He could vaguely make out land, mountains, and rivers in the star. It was as though it was a real world.

Ye Futian was rather shocked when he saw this. Many thoughts went through his mind. Even though he had his speculation before wondering here, it was just his guess. Now that he had verified through observation that his speculation was indeed true, he was still greatly impacted by the reality. This dot of light was indeed a star.

Then, were the billions of light dots in the sky above various actual stars?

Where were they?

After they entered the divine hall of Ziwei Imperial Palace, they were teleported by the matrix to this starry sky. They discovered that they were no longer within the great hall but an actual part of the segment. There were countless stars here as well as the illusory figure of Great Emperor Ziwei.

However, the star that Ye Futian was looking at was barren. There were no signs of human civilization, just endless continents of deserts. He could not sense the presence of life on it at all.

As he stood there, Ye Futian's consciousness experienced tremendous pressure. There seemed to be a formless power in the space that pressed down from the sky. He floated over with his consciousness, but it was extremely unstable; it was as though it would disperse at any moment.

Although Ye Futian had come to this star, he still had nothing to show for it. Very quickly, his consciousness retreated from the star, pulling backward as it floated through the endless space. The light from the sky full of stars shone down on him. Their pressure grew greater and greater. Ye Futian's silhouette appeared somewhat blurry, as though it would disappear at any moment.

Unbeknownst why, he suddenly felt a strange sensation. In the Void Realm, the 3,000 Realms of the Great Path all had signs of the presence of cultivators. In the Divine Prefecture, each continent had signs of human life. How was it that among the billions of stars here, there were actually no signs of human life?

Was it possible for special stars, where human cultivators had once cultivated on them, to exist among these endless stars?

What would happen if they tried to approach the special stars?

Could they reach the stars?

Ye Futian's consciousness retracted. He opened his eyes and revealed a pensive look. He knew that he had to be patient. It would definitely not be easy to want to comprehend the secrets of Great Emperor Ziwei. Since Ziwei Imperial Palace had not been able to unravel his secrets even after all these years, it was impossible for Ye Futian and the others to do so in just a short amount of time.

Ye Futian looked at the cultivator who talked to him before this and asked, "Has anyone tried to reach these stars?"

"They are out of reach," replied the other party. His answer caused Ye Futian to reveal a surprised look. They could sense all the stars in the sky, yet they couldn't reach them?

Even though the cultivators were situated in this vast starry sky and the stars were extremely high above them, in the end, there should be a finite distance between the cultivators and the stars. Why was it that they could not reach the stars?

Could it be that all these stars existed in an entirely different form than what they appeared?

"I think most likely Ziwei Imperial Palace has tried to reach the stars before too," the Renhuang commented. Ye Futian nodded in agreement.

Ye Futian revealed a contemplative expression as he was puzzled by the phenomenon.

Right at that moment, a dazzling divine light poured down from the sky and instantly attracted the attention of all the cultivators. All the cultivators looked in the same direction and saw a silhouette ascended high in the sky.

The halo of the Great Path shone brilliantly around his body. It was a unique radiance. The robe on the cultivator fluttered as he became the center of attention. In the sky, a beam of light shone down and landed on his body. This scene caused the surrounding cultivators to be greatly amazed.

Everyone traced the source of the light and discovered that the divine light actually originated from one of the stars in the starry sky.

A dazzling light was emitted from the star and was directed at the cultivator. In an instant, the cultivator seemed to be baptized by the divine halo. He became one with the stars in the sky and resonated with the star that shone a light on him.

"This..." Everyone was shocked by the scene which happened before their eyes. They had been here for days, yet they had not been able to decipher the secrets of the illusory figure of Great Emperor Ziwei. Through their discussion, they had managed to obtain some insights. Unfortunately, their insights were far from allowing them to unravel the secrets of the illusory figure.

However, this scene that had just occurred meant that they had reached a huge breakthrough.

The cultivators could resonate with the stars in the sky!

"It's him!" exclaimed someone. All the cultivators immediately recognized the cultivator who managed to resonate with the star. He was a famous figure from the Divine Prefecture. He was well-known for his exceptional talent.

So, he was the first one who unraveled the secrets of the stars?

The cultivator dashed upwards with an astonishing speed. It was as though he was rushing towards the star. The divine light of the Great Path, which shone down from the star, also intensified, engulfing the cultivator in it. It was as though a very powerful force descended from the starry sky and pierced through the heavens.

Ye Futian also raised his head and looked in the direction of the cultivator. His heart quivered. Just now, his consciousness also ventured towards one of the stars, yet he discovered nothing from it. How did the other party do this?

Could it be that each and every star in the sky was unique?

Could it be that some stars could pour down the divine light of the Great Path to resonate with the cultivator who detected it?

"Are there special stars?" asked a powerful Renhuang from the Divine Prefecture towards the cultivator who was floating high in the sky. The voice of the Renhuang penetrated through the starry sky and reverberated in the eardrums of the cultivators.

"Yes, " the other party replied immediately. "Find a star which can resonate with you. Among the billions of stars in the sky, some are different."

When everyone else heard his reply, they were astounded. This cultivator actually shared his insight with everyone without keeping the secret to himself.

Immediately, everyone raised their heads and looked at the countless stars in the sky.

Just as the cultivators were regaining their composure, a terrifying dark divine light poured down from the sky in another direction. Under the brilliant starry sky, this divine light, which was as dark as ink, appeared exceptionally striking. It caused everyone's gazes to be shifted in the direction where the dark divine light was.

The next moment, this dark divine light descended in a straight line and landed on a figure. This cultivator was from the Dark World. He wore a black robe and had a set of deep eyes. He looked at the sky while his robe fluttered. Then, he extended his arms, and his whole body floated up into the sky. His body seemed to be greedily absorbing the light which was pouring down from the sky.

Another cultivator had done it.

The hearts of everyone trembled. If the first person did it out of coincidence, what did it mean when two people managed to do so consecutively?

Everyone had a chance to do so too.

Were the secrets of this starry sky finally being revealed?
