A World Worth Protecting

Hearing those two terms, even though Wang Baole felt that he understood a lot about the Never-Ending Clan, he was still stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had heard of the Left Dao Holy Domain. But the 19th Star Domain… Wang Baole recalled that during the battle at the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect previously, either the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s sect lord or left-hand elder had exclaimed it once. Now that he heard it from Zhao Yameng, Wang Baole’s curiosity was piqued, and he asked about it.

“I also only learned about this after arriving at the Violet Gold civilization and entering the Heavenly Spirit Sect. The portion of the universe we are in now is called the Never-Ending Dao Domain. We heard about this when we were on the ancient greenish-bronze sword back then.

“And the Never-Ending Dao Domain is divided into three parts. They are the Perfected Immortal Holy Domain, Left Dao Holy Domain, and Side Sect Holy Domain. The three great Holy Domains are extremely boundless. For example, the Left Dao Holy Domain has 3,000 domains within it. And every domain has countless civilizations within it… All of it is ruled over by the Never-Ending Clan…

“Where Earth is at, including the surrounding cosmos with astonishing boundaries, is the 19th Star Domain under the Left Dao Holy Domain. Within the nineteenth domain of the Left Dao Holy Domain, the strongest of the many civilizations… is the Violet Gold civilization!”

“They can become the strongest civilization in the Left Dao Holy Doman’s nineteenth domain just by having three Eternal Star realms?” Wang Baole was astonished by the strength of the entire Never-Ending Dao Domain, and his mind seemed to be opened up. However, he couldn’t help but mumble. In reality… he had seen Eternal Star realms before. Although they were strong, they still became meek after hearing the name of his senior brother, Chen Qing.

But his face turned serious. The strength of the Violet Gold civilization made Wang Baole feel that the battle of the Divine Eye civilization was very troublesome.

“That means that the Violet Gold civilization has plans to follow-up with this battle…”

“The Violet Gold civilization has joined forces with the Divine Eye royal family and have their eyes set on taking this place over. The Heavenly Spirit Sect is only the first wave. They’ll follow up with a second and third wave. In fact, if necessary, the Eternal Star realms might come out of seclusion and descend here if they can’t stand the battle situation. Baole… you must leave this place as soon as possible!” Zhao Yameng took a deep breath and spoke quickly.

After hearing Zhao Yameng’s words and confirming his suspicions, Wang Baole was a little frustrated.

“I’ve set my sights on the Divine Eye civilization… Originally, I decided to take control of it and then use the method my senior brother taught me to pull it to Earth. Then I’d let the Eternal Stars fuse to raise our level…” Wang Baole had a vexed expression as he looked towards Zhao Yameng, in a dilemma.

“Yameng, the Divine Eye civilization is such a small place. Do you know why the Violet Gold civilization decided to join forces with the royalty here?”

“You don’t know?” Zhao Yameng was stunned. But she considered that the amount of information they gained wasn’t the same after all. So after thinking, she spoke.

“I’m not sure whether it’s true, but the answer I got was… that the Divine Eye civilization has a mark… To a certain extent, the mark gives one the right to enter a place called the Graveyard of Stars!”

“Graveyard of Stars?” Wang Baole’s pupils suddenly shrunk. This was the second time he had heard the name. Previously, the Divine Eye old ghost said that in an attempt to save his own life. At the same time, Wang Baole could basically guess that the reason Xie Haiyang sold intel from three sources was related to this so-called Graveyard of Stars.

However, he had no understanding of the Graveyard of Stars, and it wasn’t easy for him to find someone to ask about this. So after hearing Zhao Yameng say those two words, Wang Baole instantly became excited.

Noticing Wang Baole’s expression, Zhao Yameng slowed down and tried to recall thoroughly, saying everything she knew.

“When I was in the Heavenly Spirit Sect, I heard someone say that the Graveyard of Stars is one of the Never-Ending Star Domain’s five great mystic realms. Although it exists within the Left Dao Holy Domain, its location is extremely mysterious. Even Star Domain realm mighty figures can’t lock onto it and find it. There’s only information from the people who returned from there throughout the years…”

“According to them… the Graveyard of Stars is insanely large, and there are countless Planets without any life on them there. Those planets aren’t dead. Instead, they are in a state that’s similar to a deep slumber. And the Violet Gold civilization recognizes this state as being the most suitable for those almost at the Planet realm to infuse the planets into themselves and make use of them to truly step into the Planet realm!” Zhao Yameng looked at Wang Baole while speaking softly. As she spoke, a glimmer flashed between her eyes.

“Baole, with your cultivation now… if you can enter there, you could definitely step into the Planet realm!

“After all, Spirit Immortals must fuse a planet into themselves before breaking through to the Planet realm. And there is an extremely huge number of conditions. The most important of them is that the planet must not resist and must also not be dead. It has to have its own will. Because of that, in the records of the Violet Gold civilization, a perfected stage Spirit Immortal who’s about to break through must normally spend hundreds of years or even longer slowly refining to barely meet the requirements. But the risks are also extremely huge. Just a minor disturbance during the fusion will destroy the body and soul of the cultivator!”

“And in the Graveyard of Stars, one need not consider this at all. Any planet within it can be fused into a cultivator’s body, and there’s no possibility of failure!” Speaking to that point, a weird glint appeared in her eyes. Even though her cultivation was very far away from the Planet realm, she couldn’t help but yearn to go to the legendary Graveyard of Stars.

“But all of those… aren’t the things that most attract people. What makes people go crazy the most… is that within the Graveyard of Stars exist planets of a higher level, like special planets!” After saying the last two words, Zhao Yameng’s breathing quickened. It was obvious that she was also awed when she obtained this information back then.

“Special planets?” Wang Baole paused. He knew that one had to fuse a planet into their body to break through the Spirit Immortal realm, but he only knew this much. As for types of planets, the Dark Dream didn’t have information about that, and Chen Qing didn’t have enough time to tell him about it. Even within the Divine Eye civilization, there was little information about this. At the same time, Wang Baole didn’t get to explore this yet since he had just become a warlord-like figure in the Divine Eye civilization.

So after hearing Zhao Yameng’s words, the first thing he thought of was his Stellar Nascent Soul. And based on that point, he had some vague guesses and understanding toward the so-called special planets.

“Yes, special planets!” The light in Zhao Yameng’s eyes became brighter. As she yearned to go there, she increasingly thought that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Wang Baole!

Although fighting for a place from the Violet Gold civilization was akin to stealing food from a tiger’s mouth, once Wang Baole obtained the opportunity… his future would have limitless possibilities. Thinking to that point, Zhao Yameng’s expression became one of urgency as she spoke quickly!

“Baole, I don’t know whether you know what determines a perfected stage Spirit Immortal cultivator’s future achievements when they break through to the Planet realm, but according to the information I obtained in the Violet Gold civilization, I clearly understood this point…”

“The level of the planet they fuse with determines a Planet realm cultivator’s strength and their future possibilities!” Zhao Yameng’s words were resolute and decisive. When she looked at Wang Baole, the sense of anticipation in her eyes intensified.

Wang Baole’s eyes also flashed.

“Planets that can be infused by cultivators are divided into four levels in the Violet Gold civilization. The first level is called Ordinary Stars. Such planets are very ordinary. For example, Mars before the ancient greenish-bronze sword arrived was actually just an ordinary planet even though it’s named after a Roman god.

“As for Earth… I can’t classify it, but I know that even if Earth exceeded the level of an Ordinary Star, it would at most reach the second level, which is Spirit Stars!”

“What determines the level of a Spirit Star are the spirit meridians and Spirit Qi within it. The more concentrated the Spirit Qi, the higher the level of a Spirit Star…” Speaking to this point, Zhao Yameng paused. Wang Baole quickly took out a bottle of Ice Spirit Water from his storage bag and gave it to her. But very quickly, he remembered that it was transformed from his essence. He hesitated, but it was too late for him to take it back. Zhao Yameng, who spoke until she got thirsty, had already taken a sip of the Ice Spirit Water. She then continued speaking.

“These two types of planets can both be infused by a cultivator and used for breaking through to the Planet realm. But if one fuses an Ordinary Star into their bodies, their cultivation will basically stop at the Planet realm for their entire life. It becomes extremely difficult for them to achieve a breakthrough!”

“So, unless they have no choice, no one would be willing to infuse an Ordinary Star. They mostly set their sights on Spirit Stars. Although infusing a Spirit Star isn’t the most perfect option and only gives them ordinary combat strength, it’s still possible for them to break through the Planet realm in the future. And this type of Planet realm cultivator takes up the majority, with 90% of Planet realm cultivators belonging to this type.” Zhao Yameng took another sip of the Ice Spirit Water.

Wang Baole blinked and held in his dry cough as he pretended not to see it. He had a very intense interest in the planet levels Zhao Yameng was talking about.
