"Chaos Blood Moon once said, the Star Hall... has seven in total. Does that mean there are seven stars like this? Does that mean as long as I obtain these seven stars, my cultivation realm will be directly elevated to an even higher level?" Chu Mo had already felt the power of this star and had gained immense benefits from it. Thinking about this possibility made his heart instantly burn with passion.

He was working tirelessly to solidify his Dao Foundation to make his realm more stable, his base more solid, and his power purer. But if an opportunity could achieve all of this—and even rapidly elevate him—then... why would he refuse?

If he refused even this, it would be utterly unreasonable.

For cultivators, not a single one dislikes opportunities. And a cultivator without opportunities couldn't possibly achieve great heights.

This is a true, peerless opportunity!

Thus, Chu Mo couldn't possibly reject such an opportunity.

What he needed to do now was find a way to locate the remaining six Star Halls!

With just one more star like this, his realm could break into the Great Saint Realm! This kind of ascension method and speed was practically unprecedented!

At least, in this expansive Luotian Cosmos, such an occurrence was likely unheard of.

Chu Mo didn't know how the Supreme ascended step by step back in the day, but he imagined that it must have involved unimaginable opportunities. However, the chance Chu Mo encountered must be entirely different!

Every cultivator has their own unique opportunities. Among the billions of cultivators across the world, even though they appear to be cultivating the same Dao, in truth, everyone's Dao... is unique.

In this ancient hall, Chu Mo couldn't feel the passage of time at all, nor could he imagine that the Star Dragon was currently carrying this ancient Star Hall while flying at high speed. In any case, those two Beidou Sect cultivators were already dead. One perished under the divine texts, the other under the blade of his avatar. So much time had passed, and no one had come to disturb him.

Thus, spending some time cultivating here seemed like a good idea.

More important to Chu Mo than the massive elevation in realm was the star mnemonic that the three dharma instruments had diligently helped him obtain!

This thousand-character divine text was the exact thing that made his heart leap wildly.

Although he had committed it to memory and had fused it into the hundreds of thousands of Dao Altars within his body—integrating them into one and storing it within the Dao Altar as an all-encompassing supreme Dao manifestation—it still felt foreign to Chu Mo and didn't truly belong to him.

Therefore, he needed to start from scratch and gradually comprehend it piece by piece.

As Chu Mo started his comprehension of the star mnemonic, chaos erupted throughout the entirety of the Beidou Realm outside.

In the deepest part of the Heavenly Palace, the Patriarch Beidou was furious. Those two disciples were his most cherished juniors, otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted them with such a task.

The first reason was to train them; the second was to guard against those Beidou Sect senior figures with more profound cultivation realms!

Upon reaching the Saint Realm, one can already sense the power within those seven stars!

Patriarch Beidou was fully aware of this, for back in the day, he was fortunate enough to obtain one of the stars during his time in the Saint Realm, elevating himself directly from Saint Realm to Great Saint Realm!

Later, after countless years of arduous cultivation, he reached the peak of the Great Saint Realm.

Regarding the secret of the small stars, within the entire Beidou Realm and even the entire Luotian Cosmos... only he alone knew!

Thus, he spent endless years burying this secret deep within his heart. For this, he even allowed the Beidou Realm to grow weaker and weaker within the vast Luotian Cosmos—just to avoid drawing any attention!

He had schemed and plotted for countless years, silently eliminating far too many former friends, subordinates, and even relatives, all to ensure that this secret would never leak.

Now, the time for harvest had finally arrived.

With one star in his body, he could roughly sense the locations of the remaining six stars.

The reason he hadn't rushed to collect them was that he needed his cultivation realm to reach the critical point of charging into the ancestral realm. Only then would their effect be maximized!

Once he escapes into the ancestral realm, even if the other supreme beings of the Luotian Cosmos sensed him, they would be too late to act against him!

Ultimately, they could only accept that this vast and boundless cosmos had gained yet another giant presence.

In Patriarch Beidou's view, the entire Beidou Realm was akin to his private garden; within it, no one posed any threat to him.

By assigning the mission to twelve of the most talented youths of the Beidou Sect, he intended to cultivate them as his future twelve generals.

But now, two were dead!

Moreover, he could distinctly feel that one of the stars… had already fallen into someone else's hands!

Patriarch Beidou, whose emotions hadn't fluctuated for countless years, was now consumed by rage. He erupted in fury, dispatching numerous Saint Realm cultivators with orders to capture the culprit behind the deaths of his two disciples—no matter the price.

"Alive!"

This was Patriarch Beidou's order.

In the innermost depths of the Heavenly Palace lay Patriarch Beidou's domain, the forbidden zone of the entire Beidou Sect. Not even the Sect Master dared enter without permission.

Inside an ancient palace sat a frail and shrunken elder. His body was nothing but skin and bones, as if a gust of wind might scatter him completely. If not for the fact that his eyes were open, one could easily mistake him for a lifeless corpse.

This was Patriarch Beidou!

The most powerful existence within the Beidou Realm today.

Within his eyes lay boundless universes, endlessly evolving. Now, however, the universes in his gaze collapsed and disintegrated continuously, reflecting the rage boiling within him.

In his hand, he held a star chart of unknown material and age.

This ancient star chart depicted only seven stars.

The seven stars were connected, resembling a curved blade. With the infusion of his power, the blade would transform into other forms—like a ladle to scoop water.

These seven stars were termed the Beidou Seven Stars by Patriarch Beidou.

"Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, Alkaid." Patriarch Beidou's eyes glimmered with an unsettling radiance as he murmured, "Within me lies only the Mizar Star. My six disciples have retrieved Alioth, Megrez, and Phecda. Seven stars can form a formation… Four stars can push my realm further, but they cannot let me break into the ancestral realm. Moreover, should I use these three recovered stars, the immense stellar power might attract the supreme beings' attention. While they should currently be preoccupied elsewhere, such matters are unpredictable. Damn it. Which star has been taken? I've acquired four stars, along with this Seven-Star Formation Chart. Legend dictates that a divine text exists within one of the Star Halls. Among these four halls… none possess it. Could it have fallen into another's hands?"

Patriarch Beidou's eyes emitted two icy beams, seemingly piercing through the entire Beidou Realm. His cold voice declared, "No matter who it is, if they've taken the belongings of this old progenitor, they must obediently... return them!"

As he spoke, Patriarch Beidou again gazed at the star chart in his hands. Accompanying the star chart, which he had obtained upon acquiring the Mizar Star in the ancient Star Hall, was an ancient tome.

However, he had already destroyed that tome, deeming it unfit to exist in this world.

The tome's contents were simply too astonishing.

Patriarch Beidou spent over thirty thousand years deciphering the text within the tome. Though not divine text, the writing was in a completely incomprehensible script. Credit to Patriarch Beidou's extraordinary talent, he succeeded in deciphering it after thirty millennia.

Upon fully comprehending the tome's contents, his first act was to destroy it.

"Fewer people in this world who are aware of these matters… the better! Ideally… just me alone!"

The tome originated from the Tunnel, as did the Seven-Star Formation Chart and the seven stars themselves. Likewise, a divine text existed within the seven Star Halls, but one had to be of the ancestral realm to read it.

What Chu Mo didn't know was that, had he not possessed an ancestral realm body, his fate would have been identical to the young supreme before him—his body instantaneously crumbling to dust!

Having grasped the tome's contents, Patriarch Beidou had neither rushed to search for the divine text nor dared to!

Once all seven stars are collected and refined within oneself using the Seven-Star Formation Chart, establishing the Beidou Constellation Formation in one's body, it will suffice to drive one into the ancestral realm!

At that point, comprehending the divine text to enter the Supreme Realm would be within reach.

Even if immediate entry into the Supreme Realm proves unattainable, he would still truly ascend into divinity!

According to the tome, refining the seven stars and forming the Beidou Constellation Formation ensures a spot in the Investiture of the Gods once it emerges!

Divinity!

This is the ultimate pursuit of all cultivators, is it not?

The mere thought caused Patriarch Beidou's heart to blaze fervently. He stared into the endless void, murmuring, "Whoever dares block my ascension to divinity shall face the harshest retribution! Once I capture that thief, I shall extract the star from within their body, and then… shred their divine soul into countless fragments!"

The Star Dragon, carrying the ancient Star Hall, had long since departed the marshlands. Its destination: the location of the next ancient Star Hall.

For there, another Star Dragon resided, its sole purpose being to guard the Star Hall. From the moment of its birth, this Star Dragon understood its mission. But now, it had been injured, unable to secure the safety of this Star Hall. Thus, it sought reinforcements, seeking out companions. Simultaneously, it used unique methods to notify the third Star Dragon, summoning it to rally.

Out of all seven ancient Star Halls, four were already lost—it could not permit further losses!

Currently, only the halls of Dubhe, Merak, and Alkaid remained. The three Star Dragons had to unite without fail.

The Star Dragon carrying the Dubhe Star Hall was unaware that what it held was merely an empty, hollow hall...
