Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1999: Chapter 854: Domains Originated from the Star Ruins

Within the Dongxuan Star Realm mansion, the returning True Monarch Tianzhang once again held a banquet to personally entertain Xu Jin, both as a celebration and an expression of gratitude!

This year’s Imperial Palace Saint Heir selection saw seven entries from the Dongxuan Star Realm, easing his management crisis to some extent.

More importantly, Su Xuan ranked sixty-fifth in this Imperial Palace Saint Heir selection.

It can be said that in the upcoming final selection round, as long as Su Xuan doesn’t act foolishly and survives, he is bound to be selected as an Imperial Palace Saint Heir.

This is of great significance to Tianzhang the Su Family.

But what True Monarch Tianzhang deemed more important was the close relationship established with Xu Jin.

In his eyes, Xu Jin’s future is encapsulated in four words: bright prospects!

What he can do now is to continue deepening and strengthening this close relationship, considering it an investment.

As for the potential demise of Xu Jin’s future?

Of course it’s possible!

But an investment is an investment, where are the guaranteed profits without risks?

What he can do now is to offer Xu Jin as much support as possible, reduce the likelihood of Xu Jin’s demise, and allow Tianzhang the Su Family to reap substantial returns in the future.

Therefore, this victory banquet is a celebration, and even more a form of communication.

During the banquet, True Monarch Tianzhang was open and forthcoming about Xu Jin’s doubts.

”Uncle, what kind of place is the Star Ruins exactly? Have you been there?” Xu Jin’s most asked question was naturally about the Star Ruins.

”This question,”

True Monarch Tianzhang pointed to the sky, ”Has the Galaxy, Nephew been there? With your strength, in theory, you should have set foot into the Galaxy already.”

”I’ve been there.”

”Then, Nephew must have seen the countless stars in the Galaxy,” True Monarch Tianzhang said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin nodded.

”Does Nephew know where these countless stars in the Galaxy come from?”

Without waiting for Xu Jin to answer, True Monarch Tianzhang continued, ”Some say, these countless stars in the Galaxy come from the Star Ruins!”

Astounded, Xu Jin was caught off guard as True Monarch Tianzhang added, ”Others say the Star Ruins is the other side of the Galaxy, even the bottom of the Galaxy.

Some say the Star Ruins is another realm.

It’s the far shore of cultivation, the place Emperor aspires to.

There are also those who say the Star Ruins is the domain formed from the destruction of the Galaxy, like a wasteland after a flood disaster.

Some say the Star Ruins is the mother of the Galaxy, first came the Star Ruins, then the Galaxy.

What I’ve listed for Nephew are some of the most accepted among countless legends from ancient times to the present.

Other theories are endless.

What the Star Ruins is, is widely debated, even now, there’s no conclusion!”

This answer greatly surprised Xu Jin.

Initially, Xu Jin thought the Star Ruins, where the Emperor wanted them to go, should be a relatively well-understood region, but upon hearing the True Monarch Tianzhang’s explanation, it seemed the Star Ruins felt incredibly mysterious.

”Uncle, didn’t the Emperor tell you what the Star Ruins is?

You all should have fought there, right?” Xu Jin asked.

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Tianzhang displayed a reminiscing expression, ”Back then, the Emperor who fought alongside us, I can confirm that he also didn’t know what the Star Ruins was!

Everything was about exploring alongside us.

Whether he’s aware now, is unknown!

The current Emperor is too distant, far away!

Now, when meeting the Emperor, it’s occasionally for business, when was it last that we drank together?”

As True Monarch Tianzhang reminisced, suddenly he lifted his wine bowl, offered three cups to the sky, and the ground, ”The last time we drank with the Emperor, was during the old Zhu’s memorial ceremony.”

”Fought, indeed fought!

Back then, following the Emperor in battle, half of the eighteen veterans died in the Star Ruins.

It was then that I personally saw the Tongxuan Star Realm emerge from the Star Ruins.

It was also then that Emperor Dongxuan became Emperor Dongxuan.”

Xu Jin was astonished by the scene described by True Monarch Tianzhang, ”Tongxuan Star Realm came from the Star Ruins?

Can Great Worlds emerge from the Star Ruins?”

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Tianzhang shook his head, ”I don’t know either!

But what we saw was the Tongxuan Star Realm, or Tongxuan Domain, emerging from the Star Ruins.

Only after that did the Emperor become the master of Tongxuan Domain, and the Dukes under him emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, while the underling Great Worlds also multiplied.”

”This...”

True Monarch Tianzhang’s description left Xu Jin bewildered but somewhat understanding.

True Monarch Tianzhang narrated from his perspective, what he saw, what he understood.

And he didn’t know the full picture of the Star Ruins.

The environment of the Star Ruins is more perilous, more complex, and Heaven and Earth seem to be in constant change.

The requirements for strength are extremely high.

Ordinary Tenth Rank Little Star Monarchs charging in, unless they stay within the military camp, won’t survive a day.

This is the real reason for sending those Imperial Palace Saint Heir candidates in.

These Imperial Palace Saint Heirs are the true elite among the elite.

But even so, the battle death rate is getting higher with each batch.

Moreover, in the Star Ruins, not only are there troops from Tongxuan Domain, there are elite forces from all various factions of the entire Daluo Ancestral Court, though their impact is usually minimal.

Upon mentioning the battle death rate, True Monarch Tianzhang followed by saying, ”Nephew, since we talked about danger, there’s one thing that I have to brazenly mention.”

”Uncle, please speak.”

”Living geniuses, are true geniuses!

Nephew, after entering the Star Ruins, aside from completing tasks, the first mission is naturally to make sure to return alive, to ensure you return alive, this way, you can truly become an Imperial Palace Saint Heir.

Dying there, aside from a bit of condolence, really leaves nothing.” True Monarch Tianzhang said.
