215: Chapter 215 Searching for Treasure in the Meteorite Sea, Late-Stage Dao Integration is Like Ascending to Heaven

After leaving the Wasteland of Extinction, Ye Qing did not stop his pace but continued westward.

He locked his next target onto an area called the "Meteor Sea" based on a tattered map obtained from the Scripture Pavilion.

The Meteor Sea was not a true ocean but a strange region located at the far western end of the Canglan Domain, bordering the endless Void Realm.

Legend had it that it was once the site where a massive star fell during ancient times, with its core fragments scattered across this area.

Over countless years of evolution, it formed a peculiar airspace floating with countless star remains and debris of varying sizes and shapes.

Those star remains and debris often contained extremely pure Stellar Energy, as well as some rare extraterrestrial metals seldom seen in the outside world.

For a Cultivator in the Dao Integration Realm, that place was both a treasure land full of opportunities and a dangerous area fraught with peril.

Ye Qing spent about ten days crossing several desolate, uninhabited areas before finally seeing the legendary Meteor Sea from afar.

It was a belt-shaped region floating in the Void Realm, composed of countless grey-black star remains and debris, stretching for an unknown number of thousands of miles, resembling a massive scar lying across heaven and earth.

Those pieces of debris, some as small as a fist and others comparable to a mountain, floated and rotated slowly in the Void Realm, emitting an ancient and desolate aura.

On some of the larger debris, one could even see low, grey-brown, moss-like plants growing tenaciously, adding a trace of faint vitality to this deathly silent region.

Ye Qing stopped his light of escape at the edge of the Meteor Sea, his gaze sweeping across the floating debris belt, while his Divine Sense reached out like invisible tentacles, carefully perceiving the distribution of energy within.

He could feel that this Meteor Sea indeed contained extremely rich Stellar Energy.

Moreover, deep within some of the larger debris, there were even more pure and powerful energy fluctuations hidden, as if something extraordinary was sleeping within them.

He did not rashly venture deep inside but first flew along the edge of the Meteor Sea for a distance, carefully observing the distribution patterns and movement trajectories of the star remains and debris, searching for a relatively safe path.

He discovered that the debris in this Meteor Sea was not stationary but was moving slowly along specific orbits under the traction of some invisible force.

In some areas, the debris was sparsely distributed and relatively safe; whereas in other areas, the debris was much denser, even colliding with each other, bursting forth with dazzling sparks and violent energy turbulence.

He spent the better part of a day getting a rough idea of the situation on the periphery before cautiously stepping into the floating debris belt.

Like a nimble swallow, he wove between the star remains and debris of varying sizes, skillfully avoiding areas that might collide, while simultaneously spreading out his Divine Sense to carefully scan every piece of debris he passed, searching for potential treasures.

After exploring the Meteor Sea for about two days, he finally discovered a mineral vein flickering with faint starlight, hidden in a rock crevice on a massive piece of debris comparable in size to a small hill.

He landed on the debris, walked to the crevice, and carefully observed the Ores flickering with starlight.

These Ores appeared deep blue throughout, as if they were solidified starry skies, with countless tiny starlights vaguely visible flickering within, emitting an extremely pure and vast Stellar Energy.

"Star Blue Gold... and looking at this quality, it is extremely high grade!"

A flash of surprise appeared in Ye Qing's eyes.

Star Blue Gold was an Artifact Refining Material even rarer and more precious than Void Realm crystals.

It not only contained pure Stellar Energy but also possessed extremely strong energy affinity and conductivity, making it a top-tier divine material for refining Magic Treasures for the Dao Integration Realm and even higher levels.

Without hesitation, he immediately took out the chaos sword and began to carefully mine these Star Blue Gold Ores.

His movements were fast and steady; every strike precisely cut into the junction between the Ore and the rock, excavating those high-quality Star Blue Gold Ores piece by piece, then sending them into his Internal Space.

After absorbing these Star Blue Gold Ores, the Internal Space seemed to have eaten a big meal, emitting an even more joyful hum.

The area of the space began to expand outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The energy permeating the space also became purer and more concentrated.

Even in the central area of the space, wisps of pale blue Stellar Energy, like mist, began to condense and drift slowly.

Ye Qing could feel that his connection with this space was becoming tighter.

He could even vaguely sense that the energy light spots in the space were moving in a more complex trajectory, as if evolving some profound Formation.

Immersed in the joy of this harvest, he continued to explore the Meteor Sea.

Like a diligent miner, he searched through this floating debris belt for every mineral vein that might contain Star Blue Gold.

He had encountered Void Realm beasts hidden in the shadows of the debris, and he had also encountered energy storms triggered by debris collisions.

However, these dangers were all resolved one by one in the face of his powerful strength at the Middle Stage of the Dao Integration Realm and his rich combat experience.

He even discovered a small, fist-sized piece of "Star Core Crystal" at the core of a star remain as huge as a palace, which was completely transparent and seemed to be condensed from pure starlight.

The Stellar Energy contained within that object was unimaginably pure, as if it were a miniature star.

He carefully put it away, preparing to save it for a critical moment.

After exploring the Meteor Sea for about a month, the area of Ye Qing's Internal Space had expanded by nearly double compared to when he first arrived.

The energy permeating the space was so concentrated that it had almost turned into substance.

Meanwhile, his cultivation had also quietly reached the peak of the Middle Stage of the Dao Integration Realm through this continuous accumulation and feedback, and he was only one step away from the Late Dao Integration Stage.

He knew that to break through to the Late Dao Integration Stage, relying solely on absorbing the energy from these Ores was no longer enough.

He needed a more powerful energy source to drive that final Breakthrough.

He cast his gaze toward the deeper, darker, and more mysterious region of the Meteor Sea.

There, a massive star remain floated, far larger than all other debris, resembling a true continent.

He could feel that hidden within that massive star remain was an extremely powerful and pure energy fluctuation, like a sleeping ancient giant beast.

"That place should be the key for me to break through to the Late Dao Integration Stage."

A flash of determination appeared in his eyes; no longer hesitating, his figure flickered, and he flew towards that massive star remain that resembled a continent.
