Chapter 459: Heavenly Cycle Stars Array Formation
Ye Qincang broke out in cold sweat when he saw that Immortal King Hun Tian seemed to be interested in Shen Tian’s secret.
He hastily sent a voice transmission to him. “Senior Hun Tian, this kid is related to ‘that’ person!”
Ye Qincang knew that Shen Tian had many secrets that even Immortal Kings would be interested in!
This was especially true for things related to ‘that’ person. If it was made known to those in the Celestial World, it would cause countless supreme powerhouses to madly seize him!
He was worried that Immortal King Hun Tian would harm Shen Tian, so he hurriedly brought ‘that’ person out.
Only ‘that’ person would be able to intimidate Immortal King Hun Tian.
“Oh?”
Immortal King Hun Tian was surprised. He knew who Ye Qincang was talking about.
However, he did not believe that this boy could be related to ‘that’ person.
‘That’ existence was indescribably noble, and even Immortal King Hun Tian himself didn’t dare rashly mention their name.
How could a mere boy from the mortal world be connected to ‘that’ person?
Starlight rippled over Immortal King Hun Tian’s body as he cast a deep gaze at Shen Tian as if he wanted to see through him.
But then, the starlight shook violently, and even Immortal King Hun’s body began to shake.
Immortal King Hun Tian discovered that the divine sense he had left in the mortal world was unable to pry into Shen Tian’s true cultivation base and strength.
This was simply unbelievable!
Given Immortal King Hun Tian’s cultivation, even a Thearch could not hide his aura in front of him.
No matter how powerful Shen Tian’s cultivation was, it was impossible for him to surpass that of a Thearch.
Immortal King Hun Dun’s body surged with starlight, and he was extremely shocked.
He even saw wisps of white fog faintly curling around Shen Tian’s body. It was hazy and chaotic, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.
Immortal King Hun Tian muttered to himself, “Refining the Primal Chaotic Qi… Could it be that he cultivated that technique!?”
It seems that the youth before me is truly related to ‘that’ person.
This kid is not simple. I can’t treat him casually!
Yes, I have to establish good karma with him first.
…
Immortal King Hun Tian’s tone instantly changed, and he said with a smile, “Young friend, I’ve seen your performance.
“Logically speaking, you are my true successor!”
Immortal King Hun Tian had seen everything that Shen Tian and Shi Tianzi had done in the outside world.
In his opinion, Shen Tian had been in complete control of the entire situation. Shi Tianzi had only been able to enter this place because he was cozying up to him.
Immortal King Hun Tian was not a stingy person, and thus he had pulled Shi Tianzi in as well. After all, as long as they were fated, they would be able to obtain his inheritance.
Furthermore, Shi Tianzi’s talent was not weak either. Even when compared to the geniuses of the Celestial World, he would not lose out.
After all, he was the one with the highest talent among the younger generation of the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty and even possessed dicoria as well as the Thearch Bone. He was a true supreme youth.
Furthermore, he had come from the five regions of the Mortal World. His future was limitless.
Although the foundation of the Mortal World was inferior to the Celestial World, once the experts of the Mortal World ascended to the Celestial World, they were bound to have extraordinary accomplishments.
This was because one from the Mortal World needed to undergo endless tempering and endure 12 Heavenly Tribulations before they could ascend.
Although the Celestial World geniuses had a high starting point, they lacked the willpower to train themselves.
Thus, Immortal King Hun Tian believed that as long as Shi Tianzi ascended to the Celestial World, he would become a powerhouse of the Celestial World in less than 10,000 years.
Immortal King Hun Tian would naturally not miss such a successor.
However, Shi Tianzi was far inferior to Shen Tian.
To be able to form a connection with that person, he was definitely a demon-level character.
Since such a monstrous genius was related to ‘that’ person, Immortal King Hun Tian had no choice but to take him seriously.
…
Shen Tian’s lips twitched slightly upon hearing Immortal King Hun Tian’s words.
In the predetermined fortuitous encounter, the inheritor of Immortal King Hun Tian’s inheritance would be Shi Tianzi.
However, when Shen Tian saw the fortuitous scene in Shi Tianzi’s light halo and guided him to crack the board game of the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, he was misunderstood by Immortal King Hun Tian.
Now, Immortal King Hun Tian had actually determined that Shen Tian was actually the true successor, causing him to feel slightly embarrassed.
However, Shi Tianzi also obtained the opportunity he deserved, so he didn’t really suffer any losses.
In short, it was not a big problem.
…
Immortal King Hun Tian continued. “Young friend, you have exceptional looks. Even in the Celestial World, very few people can compare to you.
“This King can vaguely see the shadow of my youth in you!
“This King is very gratified. Thus, I plan to give you a greeting gift.”
Upon seeing Shen Tian’s appearance, Immortal King Hun Tian was stunned.
This peerless appearance was extremely similar to when he was young, causing him to fall into a trance.
Most importantly, this kid had a close relationship with ‘that’ person. He had to take him seriously.
That was why Immortal King Hun Tian was willing to take out more benefits to give Shen Tian.
Shen Tian was delighted when he heard this.
It seemed that being handsome had its benefits!
Not only did it make others have a good impression of him, but he could also freeload!
Although I have always relied on strength to make a living since I can rely on my face to get some benefits, how can I refuse?
…
Shen Tian smiled. “Senior, how can I accept this!”
Immortal King Hun Tian shook his head. “The Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra is This King’s ultimate technique. It’s profound and obscure, and it even surpasses a Thearch sutra.
“Even if you were given 1,000 years, it would still be impossible for you all to comprehend it all.
“It contains the great Dao of the Universe and involves all things in the world. It’s easy to get lost within it.
“Now, I will draw the sun, moon, and stars of this world over and simulate the Universe Stars Map. It will allow you to gain deeper insights.
“I believe you should be able to reach the Greater Mastery stage in about 100 years.
“I hope that you can comprehend it well and not let me down.”
Immortal King Hun Tian had gone all out for the sake of a greeting gift.
Even though it wasn’t difficult for Immortal Kings to move the sun, moon, and stars of a world, the current Immortal King Hun Tian was only a strand of his consciousness. As such, it was not that easy to accomplish this.
Fortunately, this was a small world Immortal King Hun Tian had created, so it was slightly easier to utilize the laws here than the outside world.
Even so, Immortal King Hun Tian had to expend a lot of effort.
However, in order to be on good terms with Shen Tian, he had to make some sacrifices.
Shen Tian smiled. “Thank you, Senior!”
In any case, it was a free gift. It would be a waste if he did not accept it.
…
Immortal King Hun Tian nodded slightly and waved his hand. Boundless laws immediately appeared around him.
Dazzling stars streaked across the void.
Under the guidance of the power of laws, countless stars charged over at an extremely shocking speed.
Radiance shone resplendently, and multicolored light overflowed, lighting up the entire starry sky.
The stars that were originally in the sky appeared before everyone.
It wasn’t just that. Immortal King Hun Tian clenched his fist and caused space to warp.
The Milky Way that was hundreds of millions of miles away was moved directly below him.
They then floated in above the Milky Way, surrounded by the stars in the sky.
Although the scenery here was inferior to that in the Universe Stars Map, it was not much different.
Seeing this, Shen Tian was shocked.
The scale of this was unimaginable.
To think that an Immortal King would be this terrifying! To think that he would be able to relocate the stars wherever he wanted forcefully!
This was simply like seizing the fortune of everything in the world and gathering the essence of the sun, moon, and stars.
Shen Tian could sense a vast and immeasurable power surging out of the stars.
The power of the stars descended and flowed into his body like a spiritual stream.
At that moment, Shen Tian’s body was surrounded by resplendent starlight, and his mental state was greatly refreshed.
Shi Tianzi also benefited from this. His aura became increasingly vigorous, and he began to draw upon the power of the stars around him to fuse with himself.
Comprehending the Universe Stars Map was to use one’s divine sense to stimulate the heaven, earth, and universe in one’s mind, and then search for the truth of the Heavenly Dao.
But now, they had personally entered the boundless sea of stars and were baptizing themselves with star power.
Comprehending the Dao in such an environment could increase one’s speed by 100 or even 1,000 times!
Shen Tian didn’t hesitate any longer. He sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend the Universe Stars Map.
In next to no time, he fell into silence while extremely profound energy emanated from his body.
The power of laws fell down, and a massive vortex of laws appeared above Shen Tian’s head.
Shen Tian’s entire body glowed while divine radiance coiled around it, and it was enshrouded by multicolored light, causing the obscure Heavenly Dao laws to become extremely intimate with him.
His comprehension speed was extremely fast, easily catching up to Shi Tianzi.
For a time, the entire Spherical Heaven Chessboard was immersed in the sea of Dao.
Immortal King Hun Tian’s figure froze when he saw this scene, and his voice revealed a trace of astonishment.
“This kid has a Connate Constitution!?”
He discovered that Shen Tian seemed to have more secrets than he imagined.
How could Immortal King Hun Tian not know what a Connate Constitution meant?
When he was young, he already had a constitution that was unmatched, allowing him to become an exceptional supreme being.
His constitution was invincible in the Celestial World and had struck fear into the hearts of countless paragons.
The Connate Constitution was a supreme constitution that had never been seen before. It was intimate to all the laws in the world. Any cultivation technique would be a piece of cake before the one with the Connate Constitution.
As a result, those with such a physique could improve their cultivation rapidly and easily grasp all the laws in the world.
Who would have thought that not only had this brat inherited ‘that’ person’s inheritance, but he also possessed the Connate Constitution!
He was too extraordinary!
Ye Qincang pursed his lips and said, “He’s pervertedly powerful.”
He had personally witnessed how Shen Tian made it this far and knew how freakish he was.
Immortal King Hun Tian was intrigued. “I see you know quite a bit, old boy. Tell me more. Let’s play chess and discuss the Dao at the same time.”
Ye Qincang said bitterly, “Immortal King, can we not play chess?”
How could he be unaware of Immortal King Hun Tian’s intentions?
How was this a game of chess? He was just itching to beat someone.
Immortal King Hun Tian’s skill in chess was renowned throughout the Celestial World, and it terrified countless experts.
What he said was not just a game of chess but also a physical game!
He’d once set up a game of chess in the Celestial World and invited countless people to discuss the Dao.
In the end, not a single person had left without a bruised face.
Immortal King Hun Tian’s chess skill was renowned even in the Celestial World!
Ye Qincang grimaced when he heard that Immortal King Hun Tian wanted to play chess with him.
Immortal King Hun Tian shook his head and said, “That’s not up to you!”
Then, he reached out his hand and pulled Ye Qincang into the void.
Not long after, the space trembled violently as terrifying fluctuations surged out, and there were even faint cries of misery!
…
Shen Tian was currently comprehending the Universe Stars Map and cultivating the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra.
Only by coming into contact with it personally would one know just how profound and obscure this Immortal King sutra was!
Compared to a Thearch sutra, it was like the difference between the clouds and mud. It was impossible to compare the both of them.
Even though Shen Tian had a Connate Constitution, it was still not that easy for him to comprehend the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra.
The Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra was unfathomable, and it encompassed everything.
This Immortal King inheritance contained several powerful techniques.
Its power and effect far exceeded a Thearch sutra’s forbidden chapter.
The entire set of inheritances was divided into a few supreme techniques, namely the Heavenly Cycle Divine Guidance, the Heavenly Divine Fist, the Heavenly Star Sealing Sword, and the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation!
The first technique Shen Tian cultivated was the Heavenly Cycle Divine Guidance!
The Heavenly Cycle Divine Guidance could absorb the power of the stars in the outer realm to strengthen oneself.
One could use this technique to absorb the power of the stars, and its effect was far greater than absorbing the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth!
This was especially true for Shen Tian currently after Immortal King Hun Tian had relocated the countless stars to be around him, greatly increasing the effectiveness of this technique.
Thus, Shen Tian decisively chose to cultivate the Heavenly Cycle Divine Guidance first.
Soon, unique patterns appeared on Shen Tian’s body as if they were carved with Dao patterns, emitting an unfathomable aura.
Those Dao patterns suddenly lit up and transformed into vortexes that shot into the sky, causing the stars in the sky to tremble.
Streams of extremely dazzling star power poured down like a vast ocean and entered Shen Tian’s body.
His aura was rising rapidly at a shocking speed.
Time flew!
Three years later….
Shen Tian abruptly opened his eyes, emitting a dazzling divine light.
His aura underwent a tremendous change, becoming vigorous and deep, vast like the sea.
Dazzling starlight surrounded Shen Tian, and his eyes were as deep as the sea of stars.
If one looked carefully, one could even see stars in them.
After spending three years, Shen Tian finally cultivated the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra to the Greater Mastery stage.
As expected of a supreme Immortal King sutra, the difficulty of cultivating it was even greater than that of cultivating a Thearch sutra, making him spend far more time cultivating a single sutra than before.
However, Shen Tian’s gains were huge. He had already finished cultivating most of the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra‘s techniques.
“As expected of an Immortal King sutra, it can increase my strength explosively!”
Shen Tian’s eyes shone brightly. Only now did he realize how powerful the Immortal King sutra was.
He had grasped the various Dharmic techniques from the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra, and they were all supreme legacies.
To a certain extent, each of them had even surpassed a Thearch sutra!
Shen Tian couldn’t help but want to experiment.
He leaped up and flew into the sea of stars that filled the sky. His body then began to circulate the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra.
The stars in the sky exploded, and the boundless power of the stars crashed down like a massive wave.
Shen Tian stood proudly in the air, starlight swirling around him. His aura was incomparably majestic as he suddenly attacked the endless void.
A fist blasted out, shaking the universe!
Shen Tian’s fist was matchless, his fist swirling with resplendent starlight, shattering the void into powder.
Endless starlight emerged and descended upon the world as if thousands of stars were falling.
This strike was imbued with the power of countless stars, and it crashed down like a meteor.
In an instant, the star not far away exploded, directly turning into powder.
Even the universe itself was pierced through, causing natural laws to shatter and order to vaguely collapse!
This strike seemed as if it intended to annihilate all enemies.
It was incredible!
This was the Heavenly Divine Fist from the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra, and it was capable of utilizing the energy of the stars to punch out with indescribable strength.
The power of this punch could directly destroy a Great Sage!
However, it wasn’t over yet. Shen Tian formed seals with his hands, and vast and immeasurable power rose from his body.
The endless power of stars was drawn over once again, forming countless incomparably sharp astral swords in the void.
10,000 swords surged and covered the sea of stars, exuding a terrifying power.
There were 10,000 streaks of light, every single one like the tail light of a comet, flickering with resplendent divine radiance, making the surrounding void split apart.
“Kill!”
Shen Tian let out a long roar as he activated his swords filled with starlight and charged toward the endless sea of stars.
Rumble!
Wherever the sword light passed, stars would explode one after another, turning into dazzling flames that covered the entire universe.
The world seemed to tremble as the void shattered into endless nothingness, unable to withstand the ravaging sword light.
At that moment, a voice sounded from afar.
“Which brat is causing trouble here, trying to ruin this King’s game?”
Immortal King Hun Tian walked out from the void, and the starlight immortal light on his body surged violently.
He was having a good discussion with Ye Qincang when he suddenly realized that the world was shaking as if it was going to collapse.
This made Immortal King Hun Tian furious. He thought that there was someone who wanted to destroy this place.
However, after he saw the next scene, he was stunned.
Boom!
The swords filled with starlight descended once more, emitting a terrifying power.
If his previous punch had only been able to pierce through a huge hole, this sword attack caused the entire region of space to crack, as if it would shatter at any moment.
If all of these powers were to gather together, they might really be able to slice apart this entire world.
Shen Tian was overjoyed when he saw this and sighed inwardly.
As expected of the Heavenly Star Sealing Sword, its might was truly boundless.
That’s right. This sword technique was the second technique that Shen Tian had comprehended from the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra—the Heavenly Star Sealing Sword.
The Heavenly Star Sealing Sword condensed thousands of swords with the power of stars, shooting down from the nine heavens to kill the enemy.
If the Heavenly Divine Fist was an unparalleled single-target divine technique, then the Heavenly Star Sealing Sword was an AOE divine technique with extremely destructive power.
After mastering these two powerful techniques, Shen Tian’s battle prowess increased exponentially.
And these two techniques were not even the strongest ones in the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra.
The most powerful one was the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation.
This was an unparalleled formation. It could allow 36 experts to set up formations together and unleash their strongest power.
According to Shen Tian’s estimation, if there were 36 True Sages who were skilled in setting up arrays, they could even kill a Sub-Thearch with this technique.
If 36 Seven Tribulation True Sages and Great Sages were the ones setting up the formation, they could even resist Thearch-level experts.
If 36 Great Sages were to join forces, they would be able to suppress a Thearch!
What sort of concept was this? The gap between a Great Sage and a Thearch was like the gulf between heaven and the earth.
Not to mention 36 Great Sages, even 36 Sub-Thearchs were no match for a Thearch.
However, the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation could allow Great Sages to suppress a Thearch.
Just from the sound of it, it was already incredible!
With this technique, even if the Evil Spirits from the outer realms invaded, there was nothing to fear.
Even though there were very few Great Sage experts, the major forces of the five regions still had hidden old monsters who had stepped into this realm.
The Evil Spirits were the common enemies of the five regions. No one would stand by and watch.
Thus, gathering 36 Great Sages was not difficult at all.
Shen Tian was delighted. Mastering this technique could allow him to have a life-saving ability in chaotic times.
…
Immortal King Hun Tian was still in a dazed state. He looked at the broken cosmos sea of stars and couldn’t help but doubt his life.
What the heck!?
How did someone learn my Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra so quickly?
What kind of joke is this? This is an Immortal King sutra, one of the most powerful unmatched techniques in the Celestial World.
Ordinary people would not be able to even understand the slightest bit without thousands of years of cultivation.
Even peerless prodigies needed several hundred years to achieve some small success.
But what did This King just see?
This boy has already cultivated the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra to the Greater Mastery stage in just three short years!
He even mastered the powerful techniques within.
Did This King see a ghost!?
