Chapter 894 - 499: Chaos Spirit Root, Boundary-Opening Object (2)

"Although this Devouring Mother Tree comes from the Cosmic Sea and is a remnant left by the White Bone Bodhisattva, formed from the essence of an entire White Bone Continent, making it already quite precious."

"For an average Void Realm cultivator, this item is considered Upper Grade. Its unique devouring property matches exactly with the Creation Space I deduced, but it cannot be called perfect. Among the 3,700 Boundary-Opening Objects in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars, it can only be considered a mid-ranked treasure."

"If the Devouring Mother Tree is solely used as the foundation, the Grotto Heaven opened might be too plain!"

After securing the position of Master of the Big Dipper, Zheng Yi set his sights on Boundary Opening. He collected vast amounts of information, compared the Boundary-Opening Objects of numerous Grotto Heaven powerhouses from the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars over the years.

He discovered that using the Devouring Mother Tree as the Boundary-Opening Object to create a Creation Cave Heaven has immense potential for development due to its devouring characteristics, but its origin is too low, just an ordinary Spirit Root born from the Cosmic Sea.

However, according to Zheng Yi’s estimation, if the Devouring Mother Tree is used as the foundation for Boundary Opening, it can devour external objects, allowing the Devouring Mother Tree to evolve again. Ideally, it could evolve into a Chaos Spirit Root, gaining a stronger foundation for further breakthroughs.

Now this opportunity has arisen.

According to the news brought by the Star Lord of Wenqu, a Chaos Spirit Root is about to emerge in the Far North Star Realm. Therefore, he has to get involved, as it relates to his Boundary-Opening Dao and must be approached with caution.

From the information gathered by Wenqu Star, this upcoming Chaos Spirit Root seems extraordinary, making Zheng Yi very tempted.

Perhaps he can obtain this Chaos Spirit Root next, then use the Devouring Mother Tree to devour it, forging an exceptional foundation that can later be used as a Boundary-Opening Object.

After that, Zheng Yi handed some trivial matters to his subordinates to decide on their own.

Although he is the Master of the Seven Stars, the rightful Big Dipper Star Monarch, the seven Star Lords below each hold a star, ruling over a vast family dominating that star. They cannot just enjoy the power that the star brings without fulfilling their duties.

He instructed Wenqu Star to organize the information collected about the Chaos Spirit Root and submit it in full.

Faced with the superior’s request, Wenqu Star worked with high efficiency, quickly collecting all information regarding the Chaos Spirit Root, organizing it into a volume, and submitting it.

After thoroughly researching the entire matter, Zheng Yi finally decided to head to the Far North Star Realm to seize that Chaos Spirit Root.

Having given the orders, Zheng Yi set off alone. Although the strength of the Star Lords under him is considerable, he did not plan to use them this time.

On one hand, the Big Dipper Seven Stars need to maintain operation. He just recently ascended to the position of Big Dipper Star Monarch, having been exceptionally promoted by the Starlight Doumu Origin Monarch. It wouldn’t be appropriate to use public resources for private matters, so it’s better to be cautious.

On the other hand, with Zheng Yi’s current strength, along with the Mechanical Sound and the Four Great Mechanical Guardian Spirits under him, the Cyan Dragon Divine Monarch, White Tiger Divine Monarch, Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch, and Black Tortoise Divine Monarch, all are top-tier existences.

If he decides to act, those in the realm above him might pose a challenge, but no one below the Void Realm would be his opponent.

Unless a Grotto Heaven Realm powerhouse personally intervenes, Zheng Yi can handle it.

After all, he is now part of an organization with backing. If anyone dared to strike near the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars, using strength against the weak, they would likely face the wrath of the Master of the Celestial Stars, including the Starlight Doumu Origin Monarch, showing them true ancient might.

According to Wenqu Star Monarch’s records, a Grotto Heaven powerhouse has already embarked on the ancient path, considered top-tier even within the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars.

This signifies that even in the entire Cosmic Sea, Grotto Heaven powerhouses are few in number.

And based on the information received, in the Far North Star Realm where he’s headed, there appears to be no Grotto Heaven powerhouse on the surface, making it a relatively safe place.

Moreover, Zheng Yi, as the newly appointed Master of the Big Dipper in the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars, also gains a layer of protection. Given the influence of the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars in this part of the cosmos, even Grotto Heaven powerhouses hesitate to oppose it lightly.

Therefore, even acting independently, Zheng Yi is quite safe, and has the freedom of movement, able to adapt to situations, which is more conducive to treasure acquisition.

...

The subordinates of the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars hold immense star power, but the Cosmic Sea is so vast that even with the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars’ power, it is unrealistic to control every star and region.

For instance, the Far North Star Realm is already on the fringe of the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars, belonging to a chaotic vacuum, a star realm without any order, incredibly chaotic.

In this star realm, there exist nine major powers known as the "Chaotic Nine Sects."

With the star realm itself being extremely chaotic, these nine sects are constantly at odds, frequently battling and attacking each other, a common occurrence.

Thus, although the Chaotic Nine Sects seem quite powerful individually, they cannot control any region independently. Their controlled areas overlap, making this star realm even more chaotic.

"In chaos, one benefits from the flames!"

Facing this Far North Star Realm, it is the perfect setting for Zheng Yi to employ tactics. If the nine sects truly unite, he is not entirely sure he could secure the soon-to-emerge Chaos Spirit Root.

...

Under the pitch-black starry sky, a massive battleship quietly glided through.

A man stood on the huge ship, eyes flickering, gazing at the boundless and vast universe, his expression deep.

"Indeed, a Land of Chaos!"

Zheng Yi’s voice lightly resounded.

Upon entering this Far North Star Realm, within just a week, he encountered dozens of skirmishes.

Moreover, Zheng Yi discovered this star realm seemed like a den of thieves, with powerful beings from various cultivation systems gathered here. Murder for money, armed robbery ran rampant...

"This Far North Star Realm seems even more chaotic than the Chaotic Star Realm!"

The Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch following Zheng Yi couldn’t help but remark.

"Perhaps the Far North Nine Sects are the source of this chaos." Spoke the Cyan Dragon Divine Monarch, standing by with a stout figure.

Within the Far North Star Realm, no single force could control the entire situation.

The Sea of Ten Thousand Stars pays no mind to these outskirt areas, leaving the entire star realm’s power distribution in the hands of the nine sects, who naturally stir more conflict and chaos over interests, prestige, and other reasons.

"It seems the Chaotic Nine Sects have shut the information down?"

As they progressed, Zheng Yi noticed that ships heading towards the area where the Chaos Spirit Root was about to emerge had dwindled, indicating few forces received this information.

Of course, more strong figures from the Chaotic Nine Sects formed concentric defense zones to keep outside forces and warships at bay.

"God of Machinery, activate stealth!"

With this command from Zheng Yi, the God of Machinery’s spark flickered gently, and the giant ship turned a dark shade, blending into the cosmic darkness.

As the patriarch of the Mechanical Civilization, the God of Machinery’s control over machines had reached unfathomable levels. After some light and shadow flashed, the massive battleship quietly merged into the darkness, disappearing without a trace.

Moreover, even powerful reconnaissance equipment showed no signal.

This stealth ability not only countered mechanical detection, but even a cultivator’s Divine Soul or spirit levels struggled to detect the existence of this massive battleship.

Roar roar!

The gigantic battleship continued cruising silently through the darkness, its enormous form swift as lightning, vanishing in a flash.

It continuously breached the interception networks set by the Chaotic Nine Sects, where numerous strong individuals, forming blockade lines, were riddled with loopholes before the battleship operated by the God of Machinery.

After penetrating several blockade lines, Zheng Yi finally reached the area where intelligence suggested the "Chaos Spirit Root" was about to appear.
