Chapter 914: Chapter 564: The Star Devouring Dragon’s Inner Voice (Double-Length)

A more expansive new world, where the Star devouring Dragon truly belongs!

Everything it has done has been to return there...

"The truth of the world, huh..." Song Changming pondered in his heart.

He thought of the layers of fog that sealed the entire land of the Nine Provinces.

Regarding the existence of a larger world beyond the Nine Provinces, he actually wasn’t particularly surprised or amazed.

He even thought it was more reasonable.

While the Nine Provinces are vast, clearly the world shouldn’t just consist of these nine continents.

He himself crossed from Da Lai over the Abyss to arrive at the Ancient Abyss Country.

He even experienced the peculiar occurrence of traversing worlds, and he knew well that the world is diverse, boundless.

"If so, then you hail from the same place as the Extraterritorial Beast." Song Changming probed further.

"That’s indeed correct... hmm..."

The Star devouring Dragon seemed to want to say more, but suddenly all the runes of the Sealing Array lit up in the Abyss, shining like stars in the darkness.

Song Changming glanced over and for the first time confirmed the number of runes in the Sealing Array.

A total of four thousand eight hundred pieces!

Such a vast number of runes forming a talisman array was also unprecedented in Song Changming’s life.

No wonder he deconstructed one rune, only to see a 0.2% increase in the panel’s completeness.

Maybe due to the sealing restriction, the heart sound of the Star devouring Dragon was also interrupted.

"Witch Race kid, if you want to know more, next time..."

With that last half sentence, the heart sound of the Star devouring Dragon completely vanished.

Song Changming waited for a while, but did not hear the Star devouring Dragon’s heart sound again; instead, the Abyssal Beasts that originally didn’t move suddenly regained their instincts and lunged toward Song Changming.

Song Changming moved, transforming into Thunder Light, riding on the surge of Abyssal Energy, instantly disappearing before the Abyssal Beasts, making them miss.

Moments later, in the air outside the Abyss.

Song Changming stood suspended, gazing at the dark abyss below, his expression indecisive.

Having heard the heart sound of the Star devouring Dragon, albeit just a simple exchange of words, the matter itself completely exceeded his expectations, even seeming somewhat bizarre.

This ancient world-ending Calamity Beast confronted him directly.

The other party could utter human speech, to be precise using the ancient language of the Ancient Abyss Country.

But for Song Changming, communication was not difficult.

After all, he had studied the past history of the Ancient Abyss Country deeply.

Song Changming stood there in silence for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long while, he took out the Copper Mirror, the Light Gate appeared, and he stepped through the Light Gate to leave.

Land of Three Thousand Spirit Mountains. Outside the Celestial Tao Academy.

A few Mountain Guard Disciples were bored, when suddenly a portal appeared in midair.

"Hey, Senior Brother, something’s happening!" a young disciple exclaimed instantly.

Another disciple, droopy-eyed, glanced and waved.

"No need to panic, it’s Advisor Song arriving."

"Advisor Song?" The young disciple was obviously unfamiliar with this identity.

By the way, does the mountain have such a position?

"Oh, I forgot you just arrived less than six months ago, it’s normal not to know Advisor Song from the Talisman Tao Institute." The older disciple calmly said, watching Song Changming flying towards the mountain gate from the Light Gate without any hindrance.

"You don’t know Advisor Song, but you must have heard of his full name, Song, Changming."

"The unmatched Demon from Yun Province!!" The young disciple’s eyes widened instantly, swiftly turning his gaze to track that departing silhouette.

"Indeed, and he is also often welcomed at our Celestial Tao Academy. He often enters the Talisman Tao Institute and discusses talisman studies with those Ancestor Masters. Over time, the Talisman Tao Institute granted him the title of Talisman Advisor, which half makes him one of us at the Celestial Tao Academy." The older disciple stroked his beard and explained, satisfied with the young disciple’s gaping expression beside him.

Nowadays, Song Changming’s great reputation, if not known by every household, is at least a thunderous name within the Martial Realm.

Especially among young martial artists, eight out of ten view Song Changming as a role model and the top figure they admire and chase after.

Thus, upon hearing that such a legendary figure still has connections with the academy they belong to, new young disciples tend to be very excited.

Perhaps it’s due to feeling too close to their idol, resulting in an inexplicable sense of fervor.

"I heard he felled nearly a thousand Great Demons on the battlefields of Lei Province! Even slew no less than ten Demon Kings, it’s terrifying!" the young disciple murmured.

In truth, his adoration for Song Changming wasn’t overly intense, but he had heard countless times about Song Changming’s awe-inspiring achievements.

Especially the feats displayed on the battlefields of Lei Province, which were the most talked-about.

The terrifying accomplishments unmatched by anyone also clearly showcased Song Changming’s powerful strength.

"It is indeed incredible, and no wonder young people outside all call him Immortal Song, the Human King... if not for the fact that he cannot claim the title of Emperor." Another old disciple at the mountain gate chimed in.

Meanwhile, Song Changming went to the Talisman Tao Institute at the mountain gate, submitting his most recent rune deconstruction results for the high level Talisman Masters within to study.

Researching the level Ten Sealing Array left by Emperor Yuan has never been a solo endeavor.

Martial Realm’s Three States, major sects, and imperial court Talisman Masters all contribute tremendous manpower and effort to assist.

Besides this Sealing Array being of immense significance, it is also the only existing level Ten Array; no Talisman Master would find it uninteresting...

"Changming is here." In the Talisman Tao Institute, Zhao Sansheng’s eyes lit up seeing Song Changming, asking.

"More findings?"

Every time Song Changming arrives, it indicates that he has made progress on the Sealing Array; he never visits without purpose.

"I successfully deconstructed another rune." Song Changming nodded, then looked around.

"Where’s Ancestor Gongshan?"

"Ancestor has taken the rune you deconstructed last time and gone into closed-door cultivation again." Zhao Sansheng replied.

Someone as strong as Ancestor Gongsan Zhi, you can’t see casually.

Song Changming nodded. Initially, he hesitated to disclose the heart sound matter of the Star devouring Dragon to Ancestor, but now he decided to forgo it.

After all, this matter surpasses the realm of talismans, telling Ancestor might not have much significance, likely only inciting unnecessary suspicion.

He raised his hand, channeling his Heart and Spirit, Spiritual Power at his fingertips, starting to engrave the deconstructed results in the air.

Soon, numerous high level Talisman Masters from the Talisman Tao Institute gathered; upon hearing of the level Ten Array, they spontaneously dropped all tasks to come.

"This seems to be a space element rune?"

"Quite like it, and it seems to connect and overlap with both the three hundred seventy-one and sixty-nine numbered runes..."

"Yes, this is a research direction."

"Level Ten space rune! Mysterious! Indeed mysterious!"

"..."

The group of high level Talisman Masters, any one of them, would be the chief of a region outside, greatly admired and respected.

Yet now confronted with a single rune, this high-vision group was extremely excited, as if discovering a new continent, the discussion was fervent.

Song Changming was accustomed to this, after listening for a while, chose to leave.

He already knew the Sealing Array below the Abyss consisted of four thousand eight hundred high level runes!

Their current gains and accumulation were still far from sufficient.

Leaving the Talisman Tao Institute, Song Changming didn’t rush back but instead found an old friend on the mountain, Li Jinyu, and invited him for a drink.

Meanwhile, inquire if there have been any recent divination results.

Years ago, Li Jinyu foresaw a future, the Nine Provinces devoid of people.

This left him depressed for a long time, retreating in alcohol, until he met Song Changming, then began to recover and cultivate daily.

Now, thirty years have passed, from Li Jinyu’s words, Song Changming learned this apocalyptic future still remained unchanged.
