Chapter 210 Divine Heart
Heaven and earth's rare treasures!
Alkaid was very clear about the weight these words carried.
Everything that could be called a heaven and earth's rare treasure, each one was considered top-notch in the Cangwu Great World.
It was no exaggeration to say that, in terms of value, this ultimate treasure couldn't even be compared with one or two Spiritual Treasures.
If it were to be sold on the market, let alone twenty or thirty million, even if the price was set at forty or fifty million spirit stones, there would still be people scrambling to buy it.
And what did forty or fifty million spirit stones mean!?
The total annual spirit stone output of the entire Nine Cauldrons Sect.
"This was the treasure that my martial uncle tried his best to save when the Artifact Sect perished. It was for the day when a genius of heaven would appear who was limited by talent and couldn't take to the Qi Refinement path. It was to be left for his use,"
Li Qingshan said with a smile, "After more than sixty years, my martial uncle has finally waited."
"Dual cultivation of Qi Refinement."
Alkaid looked at this treasure.
Even though new branches would inevitably grow from the ancient tree when he officially stepped into the Dharma Phase or Star God realm, but...
No one knew whether that branch would point towards "Qi Refinement."
In this world, there were too many various specialties.
Alchemy, talismans, beast taming, the Demonic Path, ghost cultivator, and so on, were not in the minority.
If the next branch still wasn't Qi Refinement, he would undoubtedly have to wait until the realm above Star God.
He didn't know what that realm was.
But...
With the current resources of the Cangwu Great World, to pile up the realm to that extent would undoubtedly take a very long time.
During this period, if there were any changes...
Okay, that possibility was smaller and could be excluded from consideration.
Still, the arrival of this treasure was very timely.
Not to mention that it would allow him to dual cultivate the "Qi Refinement" path, just its own value alone was enough to dramatically increase his status and rapidly advance his realm.
Otherwise, once his identity as "Dharma Phase" became known, it would undoubtedly become much more difficult to accumulate experience through being a "businessman."
"This treasure is very useful to me, thank you."
Alkaid closed the box.
Li Qingshan smiled slightly, "As people of the same sect, there's no need for such courtesy."
Alkaid nodded his head.
Such a treasure worth forty or fifty million spirit stones...
He pondered for a moment, then said, "In the next ten or twenty years, I will still need a sufficient amount of spirit stones for cultivation. After twenty years, when my cultivation reaches a certain level, out of the thirty percent profits from the Spirit Gathering Array, I can let go of ten percent."
Li Qingshan was surprised.
To give up ten percent of the profits after twenty years...
Even without calculating the situations of reclaiming the East Sea Archipelago and the Hundred Thousand Mountains, this was still an enormous annual income of more than twenty million!
If the East Sea Archipelago and the Hundred Thousand Mountains were reclaimed, that would be the equivalent of giving up forty or fifty million spirit stones every year!
Li Qingshan promptly said, "There's no need for that; it's what you deserve..."@@@@
"Then I'll accept it first."
Alkaid suddenly changed his statement.
He thought of the "businessman's" evaluation standards.
Using future tens of millions of spirit stones to exchange for a treasure worth forty or fifty million spirit stones, this deal would probably result in a huge loss under the "businessman's" judgment.
Alkaid emphatically said.
He guessed that since the Golden Core had been able to evolve through so many generations, why should the Star God only reach the Third Generation and stop?
"Before becoming a Crimson Red Golden Core, one goes through the original Golden Core Realm, Fission Realm, and Fusion Realm—three generational evolutions. Theoretically, a Crimson Red Golden Core belongs to the Fourth Generation. While Star Gods only orderly progress through Meteor Star God, Heavenly Star God, and Main Star God, ceasing evolution at the Third Generation, no wonder ordinary Star Gods cannot confront a cultivator with a Crimson Red Golden Core. If I can cultivate Star God to three hundred and sixty-five acupoints... contending against a Crimson Red Golden Core wouldn't be difficult... No, that's not right!"
Alkaid's eyes flickered with light, "It should be, as long as I can withstand the repeated attacks of a Crimson Red Golden Core, a Crimson Red Golden Core will lead itself into collapse."
With that thought, he looked again at the Primordial Clock he held in his hand.
The order corresponding to the Primordial Clock was not yet wholly completed, and the profits were not entirely recorded.
He was eager to know, once the tens of millions in profits from the Primordial Clock came in, how much further he could push [Martial Path].
"Three hundred and sixty-five acupoints might not be the limit for Star Gods; theoretically, the human body should have seven hundred and twenty acupoints... the specifics of which, we'll naturally know once progress in the Star God reaches over 40%."
Alkaid calmed his mind and redirected his attention to the Dao Fruit he had acquired when advancing in [Martial Path] to become a Star God.
"Divine Heart!"
Alkaid sensed the wondrous nature of this Dao Fruit.
Gradually, his expression became solemn.
The divine skills derived from this Dao Fruit were even more astounding than he had anticipated.
"Choose a star or a world, plant the Divine Heart within, and the Divine Heart will gradually grow, becoming the Stellar Heart of the star or the World Heart of the world, thereby controlling the power of the star as well as the entire world... The growth rate of the Divine Heart depends on the strength of the star or world, as well as the cultivator's mental strength. The more powerful the world, the slower it grows, but once fully developed, the resulting abilities will also be stronger... However, such power can only be exerted within the star or world where the Divine Heart is planted. Once away from the star or world, the Divine Heart can no longer aid the cultivator."
Alkaid digested the wonders of this Dao Fruit.
Once planted, the Divine Heart could also be retracted, but the process of retraction would either return the Divine Heart to its initial state, rendering the endless years of nurturing completely fruitless. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire
Or, it would require absorbing the power of the entire star or world, causing the star or world to collapse and cease to exist.
"Cangwu Great World is undoubtedly much stronger than the peripheral one hundred and eighty thousand affiliated stars, evident from its diameter of thirty million miles indicating its staggering mass, no ordinary stellar being can compare... Planting the Divine Heart in Cangwu Great World would not be a bad choice..."
Alkaid pondered.
The key point was that the benefits brought by planting the Divine Heart were just too numerous.
At the very least, at the location where the Divine Heart was planted, he would be able to harness more stellar power fields.
In the future, whether it was cultivating or fighting using the stellar power field, his capabilities would climb to a new level.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that if he stepped into the realm of Star Gods in the future, and if the progress of the Divine Heart surpassed 50%, the stellar power field he could wield would be powerful enough to withstand the self-destruct of a Crimson Red Golden Core!
"The security this ability could provide... is just too assured," Alkaid sincerely commented.
So what was he waiting for?
Immediately, he stirred his Divine Sense and directly spoke to Tang Fenghua, "Send me back to the Purple Cloud Courtyard in the Nine Heavens Domain."
"Sure."
Tang Fenghua nodded, "Since you have to attend the award ceremony in Nine Heavens City tomorrow... Shall we head over early?"
"Early, prepare yourself."
"Understood."
Without further questions, Tang Fenghua made some quick preparations, soon came over, took Alkaid with him, and flew through space at a speed exceeding thirty times the speed of sound towards the Nine Heavens Domain.
Upon arriving at the Nine Heavens Domain, Alkaid didn't waste any time and immediately planted the Divine Heart in the center of the mountain where the Purple Cloud Courtyard outside Dragon Majestic City was located.
Guided by his Divine Sense, the Divine Heart, as if alive, seeped toward the core of the world deep within the earth.
Because he inherently had the "Child of the Stars" trait, as soon as the Divine Heart merged into the depths of the world, he distinctly felt his "Child of the Stars" trait had upgraded, as if evolving from "Child of the Stars" truly into "Lord of the Stars", where every move could invoke an immense addition of stellar power fields.
The strength of the stellar power field he could invoke made him contemplate directly withstanding Tang Fenghua's Lifebound Flying Sword with the stellar power field.
Fortunately, he forcibly suppressed such a notion.
No matter how strong the Divine Heart, it couldn't possibly strengthen him to such an extent in a short time.
In the future, once the integration of the Divine Heart reached 10%, or once he developed the Demonic God Physique, he could give it a try, but for now...
The right moment was just a little short.
