Chapter 890 - 497: Twin Saints! Master of the Big Dipper_2

This conversation made Zheng Yi even more confused. He thought it would be a difficult task, but he never expected such a requirement.

"May I ask why?" Zheng Yi asked after a moment of silence.

"All for the true founder of the Ocean of Myriad Stars, the Star Emperor!" Starlight Doumu Yuanjun finally spoke slowly after a long time.

It turns out that the most powerful being in the Ocean of Myriad Stars is called the Star Emperor!

He is also one of the founders of the Ocean of Myriad Stars, known alongside Starlight Doumu Yuanjun as the Twin Saints of the Star Ocean. His path to enlightenment occurred hundreds of thousands of years ago, traversing the Cosmic Ocean, rarely defeated, his fame spread across multiple universes, standing at the supreme level of the universe, an incredibly powerful existence.

A thousand years ago, this Star Emperor fought a great battle with foes who invaded, and though he defeated them, he himself suffered serious injuries and thus fell into slumber.

A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye; to awaken the slumbering Star Emperor, the Great Yin Yang Star Constellation Celestial Void Array must be performed, with the Sun Star and Taiyin Star as the pivot, assembling three hundred sixty-five principal stars and fourteen thousand eight hundred subordinate stars, gathering the power of Primordial Star projections, only then can the Awakening Ritual be held to successfully summon the Star Emperor from his slumber.

The Big Dipper Seven Stars are among the three hundred sixty-five principal stars, among the most central thirty-six stars, indispensable.

However, the previous Master of the Big Dipper Seven Stars perished in battle with the Star Emperor a thousand years ago, leaving the Big Dipper Seven Stars in a state without a master.

"Starlight Doumu Yuanjun, the Ocean of Myriad Stars possesses not just countless stars, but innumerable strong beings. Why have you set your sights on me?"

"I’m merely a newcomer from the corner of the universe, surely not worthy of your attention!"

As Starlight Doumu Yuanjun fully recounted the sequence of events, Zheng Yi found himself in deeper confusion.

He had a very clear understanding of himself; the Ascension Immortal Court only occupied one Chaotic Star Realm, although it had extended its reach to hundreds of colonial planets, they were all remote Barbaric Wilderness life planets, incomparable to a behemoth like the Ocean of Myriad Stars.

Furthermore, he had only set foot in the Void Realm for a few hundred years, might have a reputation in the Chaotic Star Realm, yet there are plenty who are stronger than him in the Ocean of Myriad Stars.

From any perspective, he might not have the capability and qualification to seize control of the Big Dipper Seven Stars, so the direct invitation from Starlight Doumu Yuanjun was quite odd, casting doubts on her motives.

Even with all the benefits put right in front of him, Zheng Yi wasn’t excited; instead, he was quite calm and voiced his doubts.

Dealing with a being like Starlight Doumu Yuanjun, being straightforward is often better, as any concealment or evasion can’t escape her perception and could result in a disadvantageous position.

If the relationship isn’t clarified, what good is it even if one becomes the Master of the Big Dipper Seven Stars? After all, the Big Dipper Seven Stars, though immense, are merely a part of the Ocean of Myriad Stars.

"I see you are worried about this. I can assure you, what you imagine won’t happen!"

Starlight Doumu Yuanjun detected confusion in Zheng Yi’s eyes, she smiled slightly and said firmly.

"You’re right. Although your strength is decent, within the Ocean of Myriad Stars, it’s not strong enough to warrant my personal invitation and meeting, such significant attention."

The first statement of Starlight Doumu Yuanjun affirmed Zheng Yi’s perception, yet her subsequent words made his eyebrow twitch.

"However, among so many strong beings of the Star Realms, there are no cultivators of the Time Path. To my shame, since the last Master of the Big Dipper Seven Stars fell, in these thousand years, the entire Ocean of Myriad Stars has failed to cultivate a single strong one in the Time Path."

Hearing this, Zheng Yi couldn’t help but feel a shock in his heart.

Although the other party showed no hostility, a cold chill swept over Zheng Yi’s heart.

His cultivation of the Power of Time, derived from the Eyes of Time’s properties, was created through his understanding of the Mother River of Time, incorporating the Lifebound Candle of Yin Jiuzhu, yet it was seldom revealed to others.

He had only intervened a few times in the Chaotic Star Realm a few hundred years ago, later the Mechanical Civilization and Cultivation Civilization expanded outward, Zheng Yi deliberately concealed this Time Path card, never showing it.

But in the mouth of Starlight Doumu Yuanjun, it was mentioned so effortlessly; this impact made Zheng Yi realize how the Ocean of Myriad Stars is truly a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, capable of even detecting this.

If even hidden cards can be easily discerned, then perhaps the Chaotic Star Realm has no secrets left to hide.

If conflict were to break out between the sides, the disparity is too great, all secrets discovered by the other side, from their perspective, the entire Chaotic Star Realm is as riddled with holes, the Ascension Immortal Court merely within their grasp; this is truly frightening.

With this in mind, the coldness in Zheng Yi’s heart intensified.

"Don’t worry, this matter will not be spread, only a few know of it."

Starlight Doumu Yuanjun spoke in a low voice.

Yet such comfort seemed to have no effect. Zheng Yi’s heart palpitated; even his hidden cards had been uncovered, truly nothing could remain secret anymore.

"Why are cultivators of the Time Path so rare?!"

Zheng Yi composed himself, finally asking again.

After all, Starlight Doumu Yuanjun is an incomprehensible great power, a name established tens of thousands of years, a strength far beyond his imagination, even without employing the power of the Great Dao, to capture him would be an effortless task.

Faced with such an existence, there was no need to fret.

Since there was no hope of overcoming, it was better to be straightforward and ask what’s on his mind.

"In reality, the Time Path within the Cosmic Dao is a very high-tier type of dao, surpassing the Five Elements Path. Therefore, attempting to unravel its mysteries is exceedingly difficult; without opportunity, one cannot cultivate it at all."

"Even I, my great dao is long shaped, hastily seeking understanding would only provoke the backlash of the Mother River of Time, damaging my Dao Foundation!"

"Moreover, the Big Dipper Seven Stars coalesces a type of Power of Time. If one becomes the Master of the Seven Stars, it has a great boosting effect on cultivators of the Time Path."

"The two can complement each other, greatly advancing the cultivation of the Time Path."

"If you are willing to activate the Big Dipper Seven Stars, unlock the Divine Pivot of the Big Dipper Seven Stars, and awaken the Star Emperor, I can promise you, I will directly give you the Boundary Opening Technique!"

"The previous Master of the Big Dipper Seven Stars cultivated to the Grotto Heaven Realm."

Starlight Doumu Yuanjun revealed a bombshell, making Zheng Yi somewhat tempted.

He knew very well, the Grotto Heaven Realm was exceedingly difficult to break through, otherwise he wouldn’t have spent three hundred years without a shred of progress. The incense power consumed during the process was vast, the deduction effort futile, his cultivation unmoved.

Thus, upon realizing the lack of necessary methods, Zheng Yi understood, relying solely on arduous practice to break through was unrealistic.

Moreover, as Starlight Doumu Yuanjun mentioned, such boundary opening techniques are all held by great powers, not available outside.

So, for Zheng Yi to break through, he must opt to join a great power.

Since this process is essential, why not choose to join the Ocean of Myriad Stars, which seeks something from him?

After all, he could bargain, from Starlight Doumu Yuanjun’s manner he could see she consistently displayed goodwill.

Additionally, Starlight Doumu Yuanjun promised him the important position of Master of the Big Dipper Seven Stars, and was willing to expend effort and resources to cultivate him, a very good condition indeed.

"Henceforth, I ask for your guidance, Starlight Doumu Yuanjun!"

After contemplating for a while, Zheng Yi finally spoke.

"Very well! You are a clever person!"

Starlight Doumu Yuanjun’s expression relaxed, she said softly.
