đź“– Chapter 1200 - Dao Heart is Clear!
What was the Star Domain Realm?
Wang Baole had thought about it many times. In the beginning, when he hadn’t even reached the Planet Realm yet, he considered it nothing more than an unspeakably profound realm, a level all cultivators dreamed of reaching one day.
After his Dao Star ascended to eternity and he entered the Eternal Star Realm, his thoughts had changed. At that time, he thought that the Star Domain Realm was essentially the same as the universe’s star domains. Both contained numerous galaxies to form a vast sea of stars.
Because the number and scale of the galaxies inside were different, star domains were also different. And when a star domain was contained in a living being, that was the so-called Star Domain Realm.
But now, his thoughts had changed again. This change came from the experience of his past lives on Planet Heaven’s Mandate, as well as the sorrowful events beneath the Underworld River. Right now, his understanding of the Star Domain Realm was no longer as simple as a sea of stars contained in a living being.
Instead, it was… Dao!
To find your own Dao and continually perfect it… this was what it meant to be a cultivator of the Star Domain Realm.
Each Star Domain Realm cultivator had their own Dao, and all were different. Some people had one Dao, while others had multiple. As for their strength, it was difficult to determine and mostly depended on their understanding of Dao.
For example, the Flame Patriarch’s Dao was a mixture of the Dao of Curses and Dao of Flame. The other Star Domain Realm cultivators that Wang Baole had encountered were similar. Although it was commonly said that there were three thousand great Daos in the universe, the Dao was certainly not limited to a mere three thousand.
Wang Baole didn’t know exactly how many Daos there were. However, he knew that the Dao he tread was to let his body be free and his mind at ease… the Dao of Freedom.
He had no doubts about his path.
His Dao Heart was clear.
“Alright.” Wang Baole smiled slightly. Sitting cross-legged at the center of the Sun, he closed his eyes again and furiously absorbed the endless spiritual energy that the World Ascension Disk brought over from the entire Left Dao Holy Region.
The purpose of this spiritual energy wasn’t to advance his Special Stars into Eternal Stars. Wang Baole’s stars had all already taken that step, bringing him to the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm.
Instead, he wanted to use this spiritual energy to ignite the ten thousand Eternal Stars in his body, allowing the Dao of all these Eternal Stars to converge and form… the Dao of Freedom that he pursued.
In order to be free, he had to be stronger than others!
In order to be at ease, his Dao enlightenment had to be more thorough!
The path from the first step to the hundredth step of the stairway of the Eternal Star Realm’s great circle was precisely the path to becoming free and at ease.
At the current moment, his cultivation base had reached the fifteenth step on the stairway, and it still continued climbing.
With a rumble, the vortex of spiritual energy continued to expand. After a few breaths of time, it grew from the size of the Sun to covering half the solar system. All the experts of the Left Dao Holy Region who were paying attention to this place immediately sensed Wang Baole’s aura!
“Wang Baole! Raging Flame’s disciple!”
“Yes, that aura is definitely his. He’s advancing to the Star Domain Realm!”
“That’s no big deal. Pay more attention to whatever supreme treasure he’s using to anchor the solar system!”
“The Never-Ending Clan and Underworld Sect are about to go to war. If we could nab that supreme treasure, our sect will have a far greater chance of surviving this catastrophe!”
Discussions broke out all over the Left Dao Holy Region. The Federation’s strength was enough to deter most people, but… when it came to the Nine Provinces Dao and the rest of the Left Dao Holy Region’s top-ranking sects, as soon as they caught wind of the supreme destiny-anchoring treasure, their greed had already been aroused.
Even though there was still the threat of the Flame Patriarch behind Wang Baole, these factions all unleashed their secret techniques without regard to cost, allowing them to send their divine wills across the endless distance and see the supreme treasure with their own eyes.
If it wasn’t some famous item, or its power was different from their expectations… or if it couldn’t be used anymore, then even if they felt greedy, they would have to weigh things carefully.
Thus, as the starry sky outside the solar system twisted and distorted, divine wills from all directions gathered there to take a look.
The moment they arrived, these divine wills saw the World Ascension Disk enveloping the solar system. A brief silence ensued, followed by heavy breathing. Shocked exclamations immediately erupted among the divine wills that had gathered outside the solar system.
“That’s… that is…”
“The World Ascension Disk! The legendary World Ascension Disk that was said to have been destroyed! Impossible!!”
“The World Ascension Disk!!!”
With the outbreak of commotion, more than ten Star Domain Realm auras erupted inside the Nine Provinces Dao headquarters. The same was true for the other four factions ranked in the top five.
The temptation of the World Ascension Disk was too great!
Just as these experts prepared to make their move, Reverend Star Wings in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace suddenly opened his eyes. His divine will swept out without hesitation, carrying a grim warning.
A cold snort also rang out which seemed to come from a place far away, echoing in the minds of the powerhouses who were watching from outside the solar system. This snort contained the power of flames, as well as a deadly curse. It was from the Flame Patriarch.
Reverend Star Wings was just an ordinary Star Domain Realm cultivator. For these experts from top factions, he could almost be disregarded. However, they didn’t dare to do the same with the Flame Patriarch. That cold snort instantly made their hearts tremble.
There was a huge difference between knowing that the Flame Patriarch might show up and feeling it in person.
Meanwhile, the Flame Patriarch’s deep voice reverberated in Wang Baole’s mind.
“Baole, feel free to break through. Your master will block anyone who tries to interfere. I’d like to see just who dares to mess with my disciple’s breakthrough!”
Wang Baole’s heart grew warm, but he shook his head.
How could he be unaware of the divine wills encroaching on the solar system? Even though Wang Baole was immersed in Dao enlightenment, he could still sense everything.
And all of this was already within his expectations.
Wang Baole obviously knew the significance of the World Ascension Disk. He also knew that the rise of the Federation, as well as his own breakthrough, was tantamount to stealing a slice of the pie from all the factions of the Left Dao Holy Region. It was only natural that he would be watched closely and even obstructed.
However, he couldn’t let a fear of obstruction stop him from moving forward. At the same time, he intended to take this opportunity where the eyes of the entire left Dao Holy Region were on him to establish his prestige.
His degree of success in establishing prestige would determine the status of the Federation, and it would also determine whether or not Wang Baole would be held down by anything in the future. At the same time… more importantly, these people could serve as emergency nourishment for his breakthrough in case of accident!
After all, the World Ascension Disk wasn’t complete.
Thus, after hearing his master’s words and noticing the hesitation of the divine wills outside the solar system, Wang Baole spoke softly.
“Master… there’s no need for this.”
“Are you sure?” The Flame Patriarch asked.
“Not completely sure, but… Master, if some people really try to do anything, can you help me suppress them for a few months?”
“Of course!”
Hearing his master’s response, Wang Baole smiled slightly. He suddenly released his Dao aura, which spread rapidly and appeared outside the solar system in an instant. There, the hesitating divine wills immediately sensed Wang Baole’s current condition!
They all trembled violently once again!
“Hundred-step Star Domain Realm divine soul! Hundred-step Star Domain Realm fleshly body! His cultivation base is in the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm… don’t tell me he wants to reach a hundred steps before breaking through to the Star Domain Realm with his cultivation base as well!?”
“This… this… is unprecedented! He’s aiming for the legendary Genesis Dao Body!!”
“If he succeeds, he will reign supreme in the Star Domain Realm. And after he enters the middle stage… he’ll be able to match Divine Emperors!!”
“Is a new overlord going to rise up in the Left Dao Holy Region?!”
TL Note: Happy Chapter 1200!
