Martial God Asura

The Undying Starfield was from the Ancestral Martial Galaxy but was now hidden in the Bloodline Galaxy.

A top expert from the Netherworld Sect had cooperated with the treasures left behind by the Netherworld Master to move the entire Undying Starfield from the Ancestral Martial Galaxy to the Bloodline Galaxy.

He did that because of the incredible and unknown power inside the Undying Starfield.

According to the Netherworld Master, that unknown power was the key that would bring out the true potential of the Netherworld Embryo. But that unknown power was currently hidden, and it would take much effort to make it appear.

Pulling that off would be extremely difficult.

They had to use the power of the Bloodline Galaxy to build a gigantic formation to refine the Undying Starfield to awaken the power in it. Even though the Netherworld Master had built the foundation for the formation, they only completed it in recent years.

It was a formation that encompassed a starfield, after all.

On top of that, the formation had to absorb energy from the Bloodline Galaxy and channel it into the Undying Starfield. That was also why they needed to move the Undying Starfield to the Bloodline Galaxy, as it would be implausible to channel energy from the Bloodline Galaxy to the distant Ancestral Martial Galaxy.

Fortunately, the Netherworld Master had prepared a treasure to capture the Undying Starfield and move it to the Bloodline Galaxy, into the refinement formation.

The refinement formation had kept the Undying Starfield concealed all this while, but once the refinement reached a certain stage, the Undying Starfield would enter a new phase and begin devouring the Bloodline Galaxy’s energy on its own accord. At that point, the concealment would be rendered ineffective, and the Undying Starfield would appear.

The sudden appearance of a starfield was bound to attract the attention of other powers, especially since the starfield was devouring the Bloodline Galaxy’s energy, causing realms to start losing their vitality.

Many people would try to stop the Undying Starfield, so the Netherworld Sect would have to protect it until the power inside it emerged and fell into their hands.

However, the Netherworld Sect’s strongest experts had gone into closed-door training to prepare for the upcoming threats in the world of cultivation. They had devoted their everything to making a breakthrough, and disturbing them could be disastrous.

Not even Jimo Qianzhou, a Netherworld Marshall, knew where they had gone into closed-door training.

The Netherworld Sect was in its weakest state. It was not a good thing for the Undying Starfield to appear right now.

In truth, the Undying Starfield was not supposed to appear right now. They had previously estimated that the Undying Starfield would take at least ten thousand years more or even more before it would reach this phase.

That was why Jimo Qianzhou and Baili Zilin were delighted, shocked, and in disbelief.

“What kind of changes is it?” Jimo Qianzhou asked.

“Milord, the Undying Starfield’s rate of absorption of the Bloodline Galaxy’s energy has gone beyond the limits of the refinement formation, and the rate is still increasing. I suspect that the power inside the Undying Starfield might have prematurely awakened,” the Netherworld General replied.

“Are you certain? It’d be a crime if you make a misjudgment here,” Jimo Qianzhou said.

“Milord, I would never make hasty conclusions about this. I spent some time observing the Undying Starfield before reaching this conclusion. Milord, we have to start making preparations as the rate of absorption is still increasing. It won’t be long before the concealment wears off, and the Undying Starfield is exposed to the rest of the world. The other powers will not stand still once they sense the Bloodline Galaxy’s depleting energy,” the Netherworld General replied.

The Undying Starfield’s absorption of the Bloodline Galaxy’s energy wouldn’t directly hurt anyone, but many homes would be destroyed. This would result in a severe backlash as the Bloodline Galaxy was home to many experts, and the galaxy overlords might interfere too.

So, their Netherworld Sect had to be ready for battle.

Both Jimo Qianzhou and Baili Zilin understood the severity of the situation.

Jimo Qianzhou turned to Baili Zilin, but before he could say a word, Baili Zilin said, “I’ll go too.”

“All right.” Jimo Qianzhou nodded.

If the Netherworld General was right, his previous reservations could be dispelled. Baili Zilin didn’t have to intentionally reveal himself anymore, for the Netherworld Sect was going to be in public view very soon.

…

Chu Feng quickly found Wang Qiang after leaving the Netherworld Sect’s turf.

They harvested the Psychesoul Grasses before returning to Ouyang Kongyu’s monastery.

Chu Feng told Ouyang Kongyu what had happened. Ouyang Kongyu wasn’t planning to interfere in the matter, but under Chu Feng’s persuasion, he decided to make an exception and allow Tian Ming’s family to stay in the monastery.

As for the other villagers, they would just find somewhere safe for them to settle down. They couldn’t return to the realm any more, let alone their village.

Wang Qiang dealt with this matter on Chu Feng’s behalf.

Ouyang Kongyu had been making preparations while Chu Feng was gone, such that the only thing he was lacking was the Psychesoul Grasses. He tossed the Psychesoul Grasses into a pot and started boiling them.

“Jia Lingyi will regain consciousness after consuming this medicine. Young friend Chu Feng, I presume you wish to ask Jia Lingyi about your grandmother, right?” Ouyang Kongyi asked while stirring the pot.

“Indeed, elder.” Chu Feng nodded

“I have an idea. We can add these herbs to the pot to achieve the effect of memory retracing. She’ll regain her consciousness and simulate what happened before she went insane. That might better answer the questions you have in mind. Of course, I’ll leave it up to you whether to proceed with this or not,” Ouyang Kongyu said.

“Elder, that’s a good idea. I’d like to go with your suggestion,” Chu Feng replied.

Jia Lingyi might have given up on herself after the Pill Dao Immortal Sect’s destruction; it wouldn’t be easy to make her speak the truth in her current state. Ouyang Kongyu’s solution was much more viable here.

Memory retracing only happened in Jia Lingyi’s mind—Chu Feng and the others couldn’t see what she was seeing—but they could deduce the truth from her reactions.
