In the blink of an eye, a month passed quietly.
Now the entire Beidou Realm is on edge, and the already suppressed non-Beidou Sect cultivators, who were struggling to even breathe, are encountering harsher treatment.
This has sparked resistance from some bold cultivators, but the end result of their rebellion is an exceedingly tragic death.
Because this time, the Beidou Sect is serious!
They directly dispatched over a dozen Saint Realm cultivators, and the number of Supreme Realm cultivators is beyond count!
This force is one that even the ancient clans of Luotian Immortal Domain wouldn't easily ignore; within the Beidou Realm, it is an absolutely invincible presence.
While suppressing dissent, this group is simultaneously searching.
But the remaining three ancient halls seem to have vanished from the world, without leaving a trace.
This has caused the Beidou Sect cultivators sent to search to grow increasingly anxious. They may not know exactly what the Patriarch has instructed them to find, but they understand one thing: if they fail to accomplish this task, they will face severe punishment. Even Saint Realm cultivators are dreadfully fearful before Patriarch Beidou, incapable of mustering any thought of resistance.
Yet all this has nothing to do with Chu Mo. For the past month, Chu Mo has been devoted to comprehending the Star Mnemonic. This thousand-word divine text that constitutes the Star Mnemonic is profoundly intricate, its power immense to an unimaginable degree. In just a month, Chu Mo managed to comprehend only thirty-some words. On the surface, this might seem unworthy of his exceptional comprehension ability, but in truth, after mastering these thirty-some words, Chu Mo's combat strength has already increased to an unimaginable level.
Now, even if faced with a mid-tier Great Saint, Chu Mo has the confidence to contend with them!
Calculating inwardly, Chu Mo realized that quite some time had passed and had no idea what the outside world had become. Deciding to pause his comprehension of the Star Mnemonic, he thought of leaving this Star Ancient Hall to take a look outside.
This Star Ancient Hall has neither doors nor exits, but for Chu Mo, who has already refined a star, this poses no problem. With a wave of his hand, a Star Gate manifested before him, and Chu Mo stepped through.
In the next moment, his figure appeared outside the Star Ancient Hall.
Roar!
A thunderous dragon's roar erupted, and an overwhelming surge of murderous intent materialized into countless sharp blades, hurtling toward Chu Mo.
Startled, Chu Mo reacted instinctively, his movements now unimaginably swift.
Activating the Heaven's Will My Will technique, he employed the Star Mnemonic, unleashing a burst of star power. The murderous blades formed by the killing intent were instantly obliterated into the void!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Explosions echoed continuously in the void.
Two more dragon roars rang out abruptly, yet the attack halted.
Then, Chu Mo saw three massive dragon heads positioned in three directions, each staring at him with a puzzled expression.
The three Star Dragons were somewhat baffled, especially the one guarding the Dubhe Star Ancient Hall. It couldn't even grasp when this person entered the ancient hall. But now, all it knew was that the aura emanating from this person compelled it to submit.
The other two Star Dragons also stared at Chu Mo with widened eyes filled with confusion.
At this moment, the strongest of the three Star Dragons suddenly spoke: "Who are you? Why do you possess star power? Could it be… you've comprehended the divine text?"
The three Star Dragons no longer attacked Chu Mo, though they could attack him without worry now. Chu Mo, however, had too many unresolved questions, and he needed answers. Nodding, he replied, "So what if I have?"
As he spoke, Chu Mo unleashed some star power from his body once more. His figure instantly radiated resplendent starlight, dazzling to an almost absurd degree.
The three Star Dragons abruptly transformed into three middle-aged men, kneeling respectfully before Chu Mo: "Dragon One, Dragon Two, Dragon Seven… pay respects to our master!"
Chu Mo was utterly perplexed. Staring at the three middle-aged men, he scratched his head and asked, "What's going on here?"
"Anyone who obtains the divine text from the Star Ancient Hall becomes our master," explained Dragon One, who guarded the Dubhe Star Ancient Hall where Chu Mo had been.
"Can you tell me what's going on here exactly?" Chu Mo asked.
"If our master has questions, we shall answer them without reservation." Dragon One responded earnestly.
Subsequently, Chu Mo learned some things from Dragon One, Dragon Two, and Dragon Seven's explanation. Though he didn't grasp everything, as their knowledge was derived from inherited memories, he confirmed one key point.
The seven Star Ancient Halls indeed originate from the Tunnel. The divine text formed naturally by the Heavenly Dao isn't something just anyone can witness. For those with insufficient cultivation levels, viewing it directly can result in death.
The divine text contains the opportunity for transcendence. Fully comprehending the thousand-word Star Mnemonic is akin to grasping the key to becoming a god.
Additionally, one must obtain seven stars and use the Seven-Star Formation Diagram to arrange these seven stars in specific positions, refining them within one's body to form the Beidou Star Formation! This accomplishment would lead not only to an unprecedented cultivation breakthrough but also to a complete unification of body, spirit, and soul, resulting in the immortal Star Body. When the Investiture of the Gods descends, such an individual would undoubtedly be listed.
As for these Star Dragons, their ancestors originate from the Tunnel as well, possessing incomparably high cultivation levels. Their existence's purpose is to guard the seven Star Ancient Halls. However, not long after arriving, the ancestor Star Dragon's life force had been completely expended, leading to its demise.
Before dying, it traveled across the Luotian Cosmos to find the finest maternal dragon within the Dragon Clan, mated with it, and produced offspring, passing on its memories generation after generation.
Now, this is the seventh generation.
Although Dragon One through Dragon Seven possess the bloodline of the ancestral Star Dragon, it has become exceedingly diluted, rendering them inferior with each successive generation. According to Dragon One, their ancestor—the true Star Dragon—should have had cultivation at the ancestral realm level!
That would be a genuine star giant capable of commanding storms and traversing the cosmos.
Chu Mo also learned that the seven stars are named Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid.
The star he absorbed and refined was none other than the seven stars' leader, Dubhe Star. This place also contained two Star Ancient Halls housing the Merak Star and Alkaid Star.
"What about the remaining four Star Dragons and four Star Ancient Halls?" Chu Mo asked.
Dragon One's face dimmed with a trace of sorrow as he answered: "This world harbors an extraordinarily powerful cultivator who, long ago, obtained one star. Given his remarkable physique and extraordinary fortune, that star became absorbed into his body. This individual also acquired the Seven-Star Formation Diagram and an ancient record detailing numerous secrets. Thus, his knowledge likely surpasses our own. Recently, he began targeting the remaining six Star Halls. The people he dispatched wield potent saint-grade dharma instruments. Three Star Dragons have already perished, and three Star Halls have been seized. Including the first Star Dragon he defeated, four Star Dragons have now died by his hand."
"That individual is likely Patriarch Beidou, isn't he?" Chu Mo asked, thinking inwardly: Seven stars, four of which Patriarch Beidou has already obtained! To complete the Beidou Star Formation, one must incorporate all seven stars into their body. So, Patriarch Beidou must be immensely eager to find me now?
Pondering this possibility, Chu Mo couldn't suppress a shiver running through his body. Being targeted by a mid-tier Great Saint was manageable—he could simply flee, and they might not be able to stop him. But his opponent was a peak Great Saint on the verge of ascending to an ultimate level of existence. Even with his confidence, Chu Mo didn't think he could contend with such a presence.
Even with Heaven Slaying at its absolute peak and executing its strongest strike, it might not be enough to slay someone of that caliber.
What should I do?
Chu Mo began contemplating his options. According to Dragon One, if he continued refining the second and third stars, his cultivation level would increase substantially, but it would also generate enormous commotion!
These seven stars were far from ordinary. Despite appearing no larger than fists, each one contained power comparable to massive stars spanning tens of billions of miles in diameter!
Refining such supreme treasures could not possibly occur without any disturbance. Even in the secluded Star Ancient Hall, the emanated aura would be impossible to conceal.
If all seven stars were refined simultaneously, it might even alert the supreme beings of the Luotian Cosmos. The shockwaves could resonate across infinite star domains.
This left Chu Mo at an impasse. If he wanted to challenge Patriarch Beidou, his current cultivation level was insufficient. Refining the other two stars could likely elevate him to the Great Saint Realm. However, during the process, external forces might notice him.
Moreover, Chu Mo's ultimate goal for this expedition… still remained a mystery.
The whereabouts of the three Blood Moons were entirely unknown to Chu Mo. What could have been easily resolved using the Heavenly Mirror had now become a colossal problem with the mirror's slumber.
Though Chu Mo's Fengshui Divine Art could assist, this method of searching was far too slow.
"Master, I have a suggestion," Dragon Seven, who rarely spoke, suddenly said.
"Speak," Chu Mo replied, gazing at Dragon Seven. The Star Dragon guarding the Alkaid Star Ancient Hall had transformed into a middle-aged man of commanding presence. He addressed Chu Mo: "Master can carry the Merak and Alkaid stars with you, but refrain from refining them. Instead, focus solely on comprehending the divine text. Once the master thoroughly comprehends the text, not even the mightiest Patriarch Beidou will be able to sense your existence through the star within his body. However, the master will be able to sense the presence of the other four stars at any time."
Chu Mo's eyes lit up. If this were possible, it would temporarily ensure his safety. As for the three Blood Moons and four stars, it seemed he would have to approach them gradually.
Chu Mo possessed the patience for this.
