Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts - Chapter 6297 Comprehension

Chapter 6297 Comprehension

With the chains gone, Mo Nian was still unsure what had just occurred. But when he saw the joy written across Long Chen’s face, he instantly knew something extraordinary had taken place.

Without wasting time, Mo Nian swiftly collected all the divine weapons scattered across the ground. By then, Long Chen slowly opened his eyes.

He said, “Mo Nian, you can keep all the weapons. I can’t use them. Even if you gave them to me, I’d have no way of properly handling them until I reunite with Xia Chen or Guo Ran. Without their methods, I can’t nourish these items, and they might die in my hands. The Earth Cauldron is absorbing the Grand Dao qi here, and I plan to undergo seclusion for a while to guard both the Earth Cauldron and Evilmoon. At the same time, I need to reflect on my own path.”

Though he said it lightly, Long Chen felt the weight of his gains. He had experienced much, and the harvest was even greater. Now he needed time to digest it all.

Mo Nian didn’t argue. Instead, he nodded firmly.

He said, “Then I won’t stand on courtesy. My Limitless Immortal Palace has ways to nourish divine weapons, and I can also borrow their power to cultivate. The heaven region’s battlefield is overflowing with opportunities. I’ll use this chance to restore my Limitless Immortal Palace. Based on my guess, sooner or later there will be a great life-and-death battle between our nine heavens and the outer world. Brother, we must give it everything we’ve got.”

Mo Nian’s expression grew solemn. The more he clashed with experts from the outside world, the more he realized how terrifying they were. Their inheritances were strange and powerful, and many of their divine arts were unlike anything he had seen in the nine heavens.

If any of them managed to condense 999 Sovereign flames first and became a Sovereign Lord, it would be a calamity for the nine heavens.

The same was true for the nine heavens. If anyone could reach that realm first, they could slaughter the other-world heavenly geniuses and sever their path ahead. Then, the nine heavens would have hope of dealing with them and win an unprecedented victory on the heaven region’s battlefield.

“Take care.”

The two clasped each other’s shoulders firmly before Mo Nian stepped through the spatial gate. In the next instant, the gate vanished.

However, Long Chen wasn’t worried about it. With the Earth Cauldron absorbing the Grand Dao Source, it would soon become the master of this world. The ability to open or close the gate would rest in Long Chen’s hands.

As for Evilmoon, there was no cause for concern either. Their connection remained unbroken even here, and Evilmoon was ravenously devouring the black spider’s essence. Its aura was surging to new heights. Unless an existence on par with that black lifeform appeared again, even a nine-hundred-flame Divine Sprout expert wouldn’t be able to stop it.

Evilmoon was growing stronger, and the Earth Cauldron was recovering. Meanwhile, Zhi Zhi was in the primal chaos space absorbing the energy of all the corpses.

Even Huo Linger and Lei Linger were in seclusion, quietly comprehending their Daos and refining their techniques.

In the midst of it all, only Long Chen sat alone.

He summoned the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree and sat beneath its boughs. Divine light cascaded down over him, sweeping away the distracting thoughts in his heart.

Once his mind was perfectly calm, Long Chen focused on the starry sea within his Dantian. Star diagrams began to surface in his consciousness, one after another.

He was attempting to comprehend the Astral Hegemon Body. From his battle with Aogu, he had realized a vast gap between his own Starry Sky Battle Robe and Aogu’s Star Battle Armor.

The Starry Sky Battle Robe was like a group of ragtag militia. Although it had a powerful aura, its actual combat power was mediocre.

By contrast, the Star Battle Armor was like a disciplined army, its strength concentrated and unified. It could unleash far greater power in battle.

At this moment, countless stars flowed in Long Chen’s mind, constantly shifting into new patterns and forms. These endless transformations would overwhelm an ordinary person in an instant, draining their Spiritual Strength dry.

Even with Long Chen’s vast reserve of Spiritual Strength, he could only maintain this state for two hours before getting a headache.

Not even the aid of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree helped him make headway. Even if he just used a few dozen stars, there were countless forms they could take.

Every diagram carried unknown potential—offensive, defensive, supportive… who could say? And even if he did stumble upon the right one to start condensing the Star Battle Armor, what about the next? How would he merge them? How could he ensure they did not clash?

What if two diagrams that should have amplified one another instead negated each other?

Long Chen was no formation master. No matter how hard he racked his brain, he could find no path forward.

Fortunately, beneath the divine light of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree, his failures never grew into frustration. His mind remained crystal clear.

The leaves of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree floated down and gently patted him as if consoling him.

Long Chen smiled faintly and patted one of the leaves. Its surface was smooth like glass, and he couldn’t help but marvel at this miraculous existence.

That Tea Saint had actually left such a miraculous tree to him. Just who was that Tea Saint?

Running his fingers along the veins of the leaf, Long Chen saw how they branched and merged like tiny streams forming a river. On the surface, it seemed utterly ordinary, yet within it was a depth that hinted at endless mysteries.

“Something that grows naturally on its own… Perhaps the star diagrams that my starry sea manifests by itself are what suit me best. Maybe that is the true Natural Dao…” Long Chen murmured, a flash of inspiration striking him.

He hastily closed his eyes and once more immersed his awareness into the boundless starry sea.

This time, he didn’t forcefully study those complex star diagrams, nor did he urge his stars to circulate. His body simply floated within the vast expanse, which carried the rhythm of the cosmos.

Suddenly, starlight flashed around him, and his Starry Sky Battle Robe automatically appeared. Yet Long Chen remained still, his consciousness drifting deeper.

Stars slowly flowed around his body, like the current of time itself. He forgot time. He forgot himself.

After who knew how long, a faint star diagram gradually emerged within the sea of stars. Like a curious little fish, it swam leisurely toward him, circling him as though in appraisal.

By then, Long Chen’s mind and spirit were utterly tranquil, without a single ripple. He neither moved nor reacted, wholly unaware of the diagram’s approach.

Finally, it drew closer.

The instant it touched him, an invisible force pulled it into the Starry Sky Battle Robe. At that moment, a brand-new star diagram appeared upon its surface.
