193: Chapter 193 Lin Fan Infiltrates the Origin to Refine Blue Star
"That's right! We shall die for our Master! Whoever dares to disrespect our Master, I will swallow them alive!"
The loyalty of the Great Sages to Lin Fan had completely broken through its limits at this moment, reaching a state of morbid fanaticism.
The changing winds and clouds of the outside world did not affect Lin Fan in the slightest.
Above Qingxuan City, Lin Fan sat cross-legged on a nine-colored lotus throne. He slowly opened his eyes and let out a long, stale breath.
"This Phenomenon is cool, but it consumes too much energy."
Lin Fan rubbed his chin, unable to help but grumble inwardly.
Just now, he had successively condensed the prototypes of two supreme Phenomena, the "Six Paths of Reincarnation" and the "Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram." Although their power was earth-shattering, the consumption of his spirit was extremely terrifying. Even though he possessed eight Qi Seas, each a billion zhang wide, he felt waves of emptiness at this moment.
"Greed leads to indigestion. I'll slowly craft the remaining Phenomena later; serious business comes first."
Lin Fan decisively stopped condensing any further Phenomena. He composed his mind, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the subtle connection established within his body with the origin of Blue Star.
This was the absolute resonance he had generated with this star after raising his origin Dao to level ninety-six.
"Instant Shadow Space Step!"
Lin Fan took a step.
Golden light flickered, and his body vanished directly from above Qingxuan City.
Without relying on any teleportation formation, Lin Fan relied on that subtle connection to traverse the void with his physical body, forcibly penetrating Blue Star's indestructible mantle and core.
The next second.
Lin Fan landed steadily in the Sea of Origin, the most core and mysterious part of Blue Star.
Here, there was only origin energy, so dense it could not be dissolved.
Everything in sight was filled with origin energy, so dense it could not be dissolved. This origin energy turned into rolling chaotic mist, and countless Dao patterns emitting brilliant light intertwined and flowed within the mist, forming the underlying operating logic of this star.
Violent rule-based repulsion squeezed in from all directions, sufficient to crush any Great Sage into nothingness.
But Lin Fan was clad in the Nine-Colored Great Dao Glazed Body, with his level ninety-six origin Dao circulating within his body. Those violent rule-based repulsive forces became incomparably docile the moment they touched him.
"So this is the server room of Blue Star."
Lin Fan put his hands in his pockets, examining the surrounding environment.
Without any hesitation, he directly severed all connection of his aura with the outside world.
Lin Fan sat cross-legged in the very center of the chaotic mist, flipped his hand, and took out that mass of energy emitting an aura of infinite mystery from his storage ring.
That was the pure origin he had stripped from the old ones ruler, Hastur.
"Source Devouring Saint Transformation Scripture, refine for me!"
Lin Fan formed hand seals.
The origin power left behind by Hastur was crazily extracted by him, flowing along his meridians into those eight Qi Seas, each a billion zhang wide.
Lin Fan focused all his attention, combining his own insights into the origin Dao, and began to condense his own origin mark, bit by bit, within this Sea of Origin.
He wanted to carve his soul imprint completely into the deepest part of this star!
As Lin Fan completely severed his aura connection.
Outside, on a mountain peak outside Qingxuan City.
The ten Great Sages who were crazily kowtowing suddenly froze.
Blood Demon Great Sage's expression changed drastically; he looked up, his face full of horror.
"Master's aura... has disappeared?!"
Blood Demon Great Sage paced around anxiously.
"It's completely gone! I can't sense even a shred of it! Could it be that by forcibly condensing the supreme Phenomenon just now, he suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao and passed away?!"
Once these words were spoken, several Great Sages panicked.
"Slap!"
A crisp sound of a slap rang out.
Great Strength Bull Demon Saint slapped the back of Blood Demon Great Sage's head hard, sending him rolling on the ground three times.
"Stop spouting your mother's bullshit!"
Great Strength Bull Demon Saint's eyes widened in anger as he pointed at Blood Demon Great Sage and cursed.
"Who is the Master? He is an immortal reincarnated! Does the Heavenly Dao of this mere lower realm dare to backlash against an immortal? Even if it had ten times the guts, it wouldn't dare!"
Blood-Pupil Demonic Tiger Ancestor covered his face and leaned in, his face full of confusion.
"Then why did Master's aura disappear into thin air?"
Great Strength Bull Demon Saint crossed his arms in front of his chest and sneered.
"You bunch of idiots, do you only have brains to make yourselves look taller? The Master has gone into seclusion to refine Blue Star!"
Great Strength Bull Demon Saint looked determined, his tone filled with worship.
"Think about it carefully; the Master previously said he wanted to deduce the Perfect Star Refining Art, but that was just an excuse to cover his tracks! As an immortal reincarnated, who knows how many supreme immortal arts are stored in his mind? He probably already knows this mere Star Refining Art by heart!"
"The Master must have already entered the Sea of Origin and started the actual operation!"
The group of Great Sages suddenly realized.
"So that's it!" Golden Great Sage patted his thigh in excitement. "Master's move to deceive the heavens is truly brilliant! His immortal identity is now completely confirmed!"
"Since the Master is in seclusion doing important business, we, as his Slaves, must absolutely not be idle!"
Heavenly Serpent Great Sage stood up, his eyes flashing with fanaticism.
"Master previously instructed us to spread the news of the Perfect Star Refining Art and lure those Holy Lords whose lifespans are ending to serve as fertilizer."
"Don't just stand there! Immediately use your clan's most secret interstellar sound transmission formations and secret channels to hype this news to the heavens!"
The ten Great Sages immediately took action.
In order to perform well in front of their "immortal" Master, they were competing intensely to the extreme.
"Hello? Is this Holy Lord Raging Lion? Yes, yes, yes, it's me! I'm telling you a huge secret: a supreme secret technique that can 100% perfectly refine a star has appeared here on Blue Star!"
"Old Ancestor! Stop sleeping! There is a peerless opportunity to extend your lifespan on Blue Star! The Perfect Star Refining Art has been released!"
Various interstellar secret techniques and sound transmission talismans were crazily transmitted throughout the universe.
The Great Sages spared no effort to wildly promote the news of the "Perfect Star Refining Art," completely packaging Blue Star as a delicious morsel that would drive any elderly Holy Lord crazy, all to lure more interstellar overlords into the trap.
Time flew by like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, five years passed quietly.
In these five years, under the governance of the human race, Blue Star ushered in unprecedented, vigorous development.
Qingxuan City had expanded to an extremely magnificent scale, with technology and cultivation civilization perfectly combined. Floating spiritual energy trains traveled across the sky, and the surfaces of skyscrapers that reached into the clouds were inscribed with indestructible defensive formation patterns.
The overall strength of the human race had undergone earth-shaking changes; Grandmasters were as common as dogs, and Heavenly Monarchs walked everywhere.
Everyone thought that this peace and prosperity would last forever.
Just on this day.
In a void several hundred thousand li outside Qingxuan City.
A previously calm spatial rift suddenly transmitted an extremely eerie disturbance.
"Hum—"
The spatial barrier rippled open.
An old woman, on the verge of death and with a face full of wrinkles, leaned on a black dragon-headed cane and quietly walked out of the spatial rift.
The old woman's body was hunched so low it was almost touching the ground; the wrinkles on her face were withered, and her sparse white hair was messy in the wind. The aura of death on her was thick, and she could breathe her last breath at any moment.
But in her turbid eyes, a hair-raising light flickered.
The old woman stood in mid-air and sniffed hard at the scent permeating the air.
Her shriveled lips moved slightly, and she gazed greedily at this vibrant star.
"Such rich vitality... such perfect star origin..."
The old woman leaned on her cane, emitting a harsh whisper, her gaze piercing through hundreds of thousands of li of void.
Aiming directly at her "rebellious" descendant—the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox.
